News Comments > Shroud of the Avatar Kickstarted

noticed this on day one, backed at $25, and upped my pledge 4 times or so to finally hit $150. i have only backed this and Star Citizen.

dumped my Torment pledge about halfway to add to SotA. Torment has no multiplayer... it will very likely plummet in price/value after release.

it was a great kickstart, excellent use of the streaming camera, with Garriot even dungeon mastering some d&d, being interviewed, and being very transparent with the backers and answering tons of questions.

i was surprised no news over here about it...

anyways, for me it was a no brainer. a good rpg with a chance of standing out from the pack and being innovative and unique? count me in! Garriot mentioned the possibility of having to type to NPC's instead of just choosing from menus... we will see!

News Comments > Battlefield 4 Trailer Tease
26. Re: Battlefield 4 Trailer Tease Mar 19, 2013, 17:29 datachasm
 
i wanna say i have no intention to get BF4, but a few things i miss:

the commander and artillery
squad voip
classic maps returning (BFV in particular)
id HATE to lose Karkland & Sharqi! again!
2142 sequel... im all in. and yes i recall BF2 players HATING on 2142

say what you want about BF3, but i dont think i could return to BF2, i tried to play some 2142 but missed the play updates, improved graphics, etc

News Comments > Victory Kickstarter Cancelled

i would like to see a real spiritual successor to Rebellion. EAW was quite good (but imo not deeply strategic at all) but support was sorely lacking, which may not be their fault but i haven't noticed that change on any game they have made (correct me if i am wrong). they are throwing out Red Alert and Dune... i just dont think this bunch of guys can make something like that these days that is actually innovative. are there really people who want a sequel to UAW?

i think the great Petroglyph was just a hyped up myth that never delivered.

News Comments > Torment: Tides of Numenera Kickstart Update

i backed this at $45, not very worked up about it but so far happy to help given its popular (and i will get W2). single player only is a big turn off for me. i want to like these kinds of games but they usually are far too tedious for me. we shall see... i may drop out near the end, but then again i may hold my ground, i love crowd funding for gaming.

LB's game on the other hand looks really good and interesting to me... the MP aspect (hopefully akin to NWN1 persistent servers) pulled me in half an hour after i noticed the KS. i think the screens show plenty of promise... the more i hear him go on about his universe the more interested i get.

im a big Battlefield fan... but yea have no intention of getting this, unless its related to 2142 or BFV.

i would rather see BF3 get more work... specifically all the prior maps from the other games. i mainly play on Karkland and Sharqi 24/7 servers as it is. i would love to see some of the BFV maps return!

i backed this as soon as i watched the video... i think the game looks great as is, it can only get better. Looked imo nearly as good if not better than LOTRO. i was also sold on the MP aspects of the game and backed about half an hour after i seen the KS was live. Torment had me fenced being single player only (and clearly reaching goal!), but i went ahead and backed at $45, i may drop it later... really no risk in not backing it and the tiers are rather meh.

too bad Rouge System is gonna flop!

News Comments > Petroglyph's Victory Revealed
8. Re: Petroglyph's Victory Revealed Feb 26, 2013, 19:20 datachasm
 
yea im in for incredibly unimpressed with Petroglyph.

got their Empire at War years ago... was on the "they are Westwood" bandwagon... EAW? wow! it so reminds of one of my favorite Star Wars games: Rebellion, blah blah.

it was a pretty good game but not very deep... and missing features, then maybe 2 patches and no news until they announce an expansion: this kinda stuff really pisses me off. i think the multiplayer game sync issues are still in that game all these years from launch.

nothing they have done since has impressed me, and if im not mistaken their support cycle has not changed.

News Comments > Star Trek: The Video Game Trailer
41. Re: Star Trek: The Video Game Trailer Feb 17, 2013, 12:42 datachasm
 
i loved the new Trek, i consider myself a Trek fan... i love TOS, i can abide TNG which simply was not nearly as good (imo), and the rest are blah. yes i mean DS9, Voyager, Enterprise. none really capture the thrill of TOS, but the movie does. not really a fan of Nero... he seemed like the same old TNG villian, just another anthropomorphic butthead. i like how Kirk really stands out as a leader driving the crew to do things they might not like... excellent. also i loved Pike's involvement.

that having been said... dunno about this game. i was plenty stoked about it at first but the more i see the more wary i am.

i can live without "driving" the Enterprise 3rd person... c'mon! co-op from the bridge is what i would wanna see. i can imagine this is just the tip of the iceberg for lazy game design on this one.
