They have said they are not putting sylvari and asura starting zones in beta on purpose. This wasn't in some marketing canned response, but an offhand comment by a dev at a convention in response to a question. I'm hoping they change their mind...
Still, you can't use what is in and what isn't in the beta as a barometer for release. Only how complete what IS shown is. Most errors and missing things seem minor to my eyes. If they can be fixed, and that is a big if, it could release next month.
I don't think that would be a great idea, but it's certainly possible. |

| Honestly if the storyline is halfway decent and the combat doesn't make me want to gouge my eyeballs out, this will probably be worth playing for me. I'm not expecting much, but it does sound like at least they have been working on it for a while and it has some heart. |

Their games always have a pretty bad combat engine, but the actual game is usually very well balanced around the bad combat engine. I haven't been that excited at playing Risen 2, it sounds like one I will want to wait a few patches before playing, as was Gothic 3 (which is not a terrible game anymore). I think PB have the best handle on environment, exploration, and rpg progression of pretty much any other rpg team. Unfortunately the endings to all of their games are really awful.
I would still be sad if they stopped making games, as would their fanbase, niche as it is. |

I think I agree with WarpCrows hope that this game would give the Shadowrun license enough cred for more games in the universe. A NWN type engine, or a bethesda style open world game would both make me happy, after the first turn based game. If I had any faith that an MMO would be good, I would want that, but I can't see it.
Still, I think if the same team just keeps making more games in this same vein it will be great as well. As long as nothing like the Microsoft project ever happens again... |

Pretty much word of mouth, I didn't even know it existed until someone else on here told me about it.
Why bother paying for advertising when a large portion of the market tends to be influenced most by whatever famous youtubers are playing? |

I wish they could let us choose what they use. Buy it on steam get steamworks. Buy it from one of the other digital stores, get GFWL.
Buy it from gog and get no drm...
Give us the option and see what we actually choose. |

Project looks hella weird. A game based around a fully emulated 16 bit on board ship cpu that you program in assembly language?
People turned off by the graphics probably ought to be turned off. |

I love kickstarter!
When someone puts together a great proposal for a game, one which no publisher would ever sign off on, we can say, "great! that's exactly what we want! here, go make game."
When someone puts together a proposal that doesn't sound that great, we can say "nah".
I actually think this one looks pretty decent for 15$, but we will see what happens  |

Yeah, no. Loved the GK series, but this is not the way to run a kickstarter. I would much rather have these games as separate initiatives, so I can pre-purchase the ones I am actually interested in. I want to pledge for something more concrete, not put money into some random studio.
Gabriel Knight 4? I'll put some money into that. Just put that up, figure out how much money you need to get the rights to make the game, and set a goal for it.
Or pick one of the other games and really push it. That could convince me as well.
I have to know what I'm actually backing. |

$20 for games that are four and six years old respectively? The only way they make much of any value sense is if you buy them in that promotion.
Yup. And since I have no interest in buying AC again, the fact that I have to bundle to get a deal turns me away. They should have made them 10$ each for the sale at least, then I may have picked up heroes.
They really should be 10$ to start with.
I wonder if ubisoft set the price a bit too high on purpose to be able to say "see, no one cares about buying our games without drm, we should keep putting it in". |

| Honestly I know there is some risk when I put money into a project like this. I don't think that if they fall somewhat short of my expectations I'll be quite as miffed as I am when I spend full price for a game that all the reviews say are awesome that I find out is actually quite terrible. If the game just flat out doesn't come out and I don't get my money back is the only situation I can see that would make me less likely to spend a little bit on the next big kickstarter. Having some say, however small, in what gets made helps to offset some of the risk for me. |

actually no your wrong it was talked about as free to play from the time it was first mentioned. if fact this was also talked about by the anarchy online dev crew over a year ago before anyone even knew the games name. they got to see the companys new super secret free to play game. and that it was going to revolutionize mmmos etc.
something clearly changed along the way. i see now that there were some articles talking about it. obviously they changed their minds and decided to charge. this game was definitely absolutely supposed to be fully free to play with a cash shop.
pretty lame.
This game has been known about for far longer than a year. I think it was in design phase before age of conan was even released. Since 2006 at least. It never was going to be free to play. They WERE talking about f2p mmos a few years ago, but those were an entirely different project. |

I love playing pc games with a gamepad. Some types of games just fit a gamepad better. Platformers like AC definitely fit that category.
That said, saying "If you want to play on PC and you want to play Assassin's Creed, you have a controller" is dumb. You may have a controller, but you may still prefer to use mouse-keyboard for the game.
Fortunately, they aren't actually removing mouse/keyboard support from the game. |

Hopefully this doesn't stop or slow the re-release of old games which was kind of their secret sauce. I don't see myself buying many indies on gog when I can get them on desura, steam, or directly from developers. If they ever have an exclusive sale though...
But if they stop or slow releasing older games I don't think I'll visit gog.com as often. |
