| Gotta start somewhere. When you eventually have a built-in ~10% buff to everything, it's actually a pretty huge advantage. Especially when you're doing 100k+ damage per shot and it amounts to an extra 10k, or stacking the accuracy or recoil reduction with your class skill passives to make 33% improvements, etc. |

Vault symbols are orange, Marcus heads are purple, Moxxi legs are blue, cherries are green, 7's are skins, and two out of three anything is either money or white loot. And of course Bandit heads are BOOM.
I really wish they'd include a casino room or something in one of the DLCs, with like a dozen slot machines right in the same little area. Takes a long, long time to spend my millions on two machines at 13.5k a pop... And I actually have never gotten an orange from them.  |

| Ye olde space sims were a bit before my time as a PC gamer, but I would love Freelancer in an EVE-type living universe. Having the best of both worlds -- awesome action/combat AND deep, immersive infrastructure/economy -- would be incredible. However, I'm not keen to pay up on the promise of that alone... I'm going to wait and see if it can be done. |

| Yeah, I still had Crysis 2 on Steam after they pulled that. A publisher removing their game from the store doesn't revoke anyone's license to play it if they've purchased it. That shitstorm would be immense... |

Well, we can't have that cheaper, mostly identical product competing with our new stock, now can we?
What a scam. There is NOTHING I have seen of this "new and better" edition of the game that makes me want to play it instead of the original. |

| I've not gotten around to trying FE yet, but for what it's worth, a friend of mine who loves this type of game and was absolutely unapologetic about bashing the crap out of WoM has had nothing but positive things to say about it. He may not have said "night and day" in his description, but that's the difference I've seen in his attitude toward Elemental. |

| Er, most people aren't lambasting the fact that there's a day one patch, it's that it's so huge and full of stupid stuff like "made it so someone you kicked out of your group doesn't become the leader." To have multiple, obviously easily fixable/avoidable problems like that in the game that they deemed fit to ship on game discs all over the world, doesn't exactly instill confidence as to the quality of the title as a whole... |

And this is what some people who played the new NFS for PC also say about it:
The Run is not the new NFS, it's about a year old now... And anyway, most of what you quoted are insignificant nitpicks. (What kind of weirdo plays a racing game with the keyboard anyway?) I haven't gotten very far with it since I bought it on sale several months ago because I've been busy with other games, but for $20 I thought it was decent enough. |

| Uh, yeah, it's completely different for TF2 and DOTA 2, because the items are sold for money and Valve has quality standards for the custom content put into their online games. Mods for everything else are completely free, in every sense of the word. All kinds of dumb shit gets posted for Skyrim (which is why you sort by popularity or rating). |

| "Stealth" in Assassin's Creed is hoping nobody looks up and/or thinks twice about the hooded weirdo climbing every building in town. Which they never do, of course. Also hiding around a corner when the person you're following very obviously turns to face you. |

Is there such a thing as Kickstarter etiquette? I tend to look favorably (or at least give a second glance) on KS that have previously funded other KS (and I don't mean in the last 5 minutes, since their own KS started). I also tend to expect them to stick it out until the end, no matter how bad (preferably with updates and how the deficit can be made up).
It would absolutely make me think twice (thrice?) about pledging to anything they ever do in the future. What if they meet their goal, but then arbitrarily decide it wasn't good enough, like they had a certain amount in mind but didn't want to make that their target and were relying on coaxing it out of people with stretch goals... They definitely lost a lot of respect and credibility in my eyes, pulling out halfway through the campaign. Not that they had much of either before, IMO. |

Meh, I maintain that Humble Bundle is the ONLY place that actually does "pay what you want." But even they get it slightly twisted by holding certain games over your head unless you pay a certain amount. Other indie bundles are much worse, with a minimum price, but they still call it "pay what you want" because there's the possibility to pay more than that.
I much prefer GOG's build-a-bundle sales. This promotion is only decent if you've somehow managed *not* to buy a single Interplay game from GOG thus far. Otherwise, it's basically a charity drive where people can feel satisfied getting their name on the leaderboard, for throwing money at a dead/dying company. I'm not going to put in for a bunch of crap games I don't want, just to get the few that I don't already have (basically most of what they hold for the $35 tier).
And isn't Interplay only one guy now, who holds the rights to all those old games and is just getting royalties from the sales? It's not like they're going to be able to take an infusion of cash like this and make something worthwhile. Why do they deserve the fundraising over anybody else? What's the point? |

| What the hell kind of diamond-encrusted palace are you living in if you consider 2-3k a month impoverished? I'm living in a very decent 2-bedroom apartment for $755/mo! If I had an extra 1-2 grand, I could eat whatever I want, finance a brand new car, and have a premium cable package with like 2000 channels! Sheeeit... |

| Lol, well that's sort of my take on this one as well, though I wouldn't state it so crass as that. Same for the "old school RPG" from those other guys and/or John Romero. At least Double Fine and inXile and Obsidian and others whose projects I've pledged to have been making games throughout the past decade. |
