Blood Dragon is awesome sauce!!!

Keep in mind my overhead numbers are WAY overblown, the actual loss would be significantly less.

Wow! After a few solid hours Blood Dragon is one of the best games ever made! It is the lulz! Roll every 80s sci-fi/action flick into a game and this is it! And it's huge! The whole thing just oozes character. The music is perfect! Even if it is only 15 hours - and I imagine that's without the sidequests and stuff - this game is an absolute steal at $15! Awesome as a possum!

So the Retro City Rampage of FPS?

So the tools to make the game, the people that worked on the game (he had one previous partner who left, as well as a second partner), the time it took to make the game, the guy that did the music, the office space it was created in, and the trips to PAX and other events all cost him nothing?

All that didn't cost enough to make me think he's not a douche for continuing to sell a broken product that he has no intention of fixing.

The game costs 800 Microsoft Points, which is $10 US (most other countries actually cost more). At $10 selling 200,000 copies is 2 million. Even if Microsoft takes 50% (they don't, but let's pretend that rest goes to taxes) that's still a million dollars.

I have carried out tasks in my life that I wasn't especially interested in. As an example, accounting jobs. I wasn't terribly strong at accounting jobs because my heart just wasn't in them. On those jobs that I DO have an interest in, however, my performance is much stronger. It was the same with school before that, and damned near anything else on a daily basis. I would imagine that most are the same as myself and my family and friends.

Fish has made his feelings on the PC very well known. How can I, or anyone, possibly believe that he will have made a strong effort in this port, or in any post release support, if every indication is that he didn't particularly want to make it in the first place?

That's only part of the issue. He also has a really bad history of supporting the existing xbox version. After a patch that introduced new save game destroying bugs he public said that he wouldn't release a new patch to fix the problem because Microsoft would charge him a couple of thousand dollars. On a game that made him millions he wouldn't spend a few thousand to fix newly added bugs. If he refuses to support even his preferred platform properly, he sure isn't going to try very hard for the one he disdains.

Even if it is only 15 hours

.... not sure what Jesus is whining about or how it pertains to the topic.

The Fusion? What kind of crappy name is that?

For those like me who hate the 360's Metro interface, things will only get worse with the 720. Running Windows 8 and always online, Microsoft will most certainly bombard us with an endless stream of video ads in those live tiles.

For me, it was good enough to simply not buy the game and I won't be buying any other Gearbox games until after I have already seen them in action. I don't feel the need to make Gearbox rub their noses in the proverbial dog shit.

it's 2160p vs 1080p so It's not 4K (4320p)

The manufacturers noticed the problem of advertising something that they are more than twice away from and renamed it, to QuadFullHD or QFHD

To rephrase, these screens are QFHD. They are NOT 4k

4K screens are still several decades away.

Here is a way to fix this: You wanna release a game on Steam or in any other store, unrestricted reviews have to be allowed -1- week before release. Problem solved.

Well, I'm glad they made it. I actually insanely attempted to help by upping my pledge, but their instructions on how to upgrade on their site were useless since they haven't imported the KS pledges into their site logins yet. Hence, I wasn't able to get to the "upgrade" option. Here's to hoping they get a bit more organized soon...

A KS that over delivers when they don't have to. Glad to have funded this.

Did you read about the DRM fiasco going on with this game? You better back out, Julio! Dun dun dun...

In fact they're thinking autism is connected to innoculation shots being administered to children who are too young.

No.

Yes. Fact. You have proof otherwise? The world would love to hear it.
