It always entertains me when people don't realize that a given game isn't trying to be what they want it to be, so their complaints aren't valid.
It's like people complaining that the original Dungeons game from 2011 was a bad Dungeon Keeper game. Well... that might be so, but it wasn't TRYING to be a Dungeon Keeper game... so the criticism isn't relevant.
It always entertains me when people who have never played the game make sweeping generalizations and are able to conclude which complaints are valid or not. |

| It doesn't need to be ultra realistic but it does need to be fun and Democracy 3 wasn't. It was just frustrating. A simulation should allow you to use different strategies to win. Instead, after everything you try fails, you realize that there's one narrow path to success and you have to guess what the developer's intentions were. |

the simulation aspect of this series of games is completely out of whack with reality
and despite being the title, you start of your games with no political support despite winning the said elections. Thus making the game ridiculously hard to win in a logical way
and everyone wants to assassinate you
Dev def needs to stretch the timeline to decades instead of such short intervals. For now, you can solve the HIV epidemic in Africa within 5 years, but you won't get reelected....
It needs to be rewritten so it bears some resemblance to how running a government / polling / getting elected actually works.
To be fair, I don't think any political simulation game has gotten it completely right yet although some older games like Shadow President were a lot of fun anyway. |

| GameStop does need to diversify if they're going to survive over the next decade. Pawning physical copies of used console games isn't a sustainable business model. |

| Agreed. I have absolutely no desire to ever step inside a Gamestop again and I'm looking forward to their inevitable Chapter 7 bankruptcy. They would probably laugh at us anyway if we actually asked for a Windows key. |

I'm glad Josh is making progress, especially given the personal problems he's had. But it seems like he's still endlessly changing and overhauling the underlying engine instead of working on gameplay. We'll see.
Maybe the mod community will be able to make something out of this if it's ever released.

Does anyone actually believe the ETAs for any given Kickstarter, especially after stretch goals are added? Games get delayed all the time. Usually, these delays occur before release dates are announced but with KS, you don't have that luxury.
No. They all lie about the dates because if they gave realistic timelines, people wouldn't be patient enough to back it.
And unfortunately with inExile, Wasteland 2 delays pushed back Torment even further. And I expect the same with Bard's Tale IV. |

Well, a huge portion of the game world is clearly there for multiplayer. I never had a reason to visit the wind farm in single player, but then they have you race jets at insanely low altitude through it in multi.
There was one mission in single player on PC where you had to fly through the wind farm with choppers. |

RollerCoaster Tycoon was an economic game which would appeal to plenty of the Elite crowd. They did the same thing with Elite Dangerous, limiting their beta to those who are exploitable have nostalgia and disposable income.
I really doubt that Planet Coaster will have the cult following that Elite did. RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 and 2 are probably my favorite games of all time. I did buy the Elite Dangerous beta. And there's no way in hell I would spend $75 dollars for this. |

It seems to me that the current gen of consoles came out of the gate barely able to play current games well. And these things are supposed to have a cycle of 5 - 10 years. /shrug
They went cheap for current gen because they didn't want to sell hardware at a huge loss compared to the PS3 and 360. At the same time, you need obvious graphical improvements to push the consoles. So everything looks decent, not great, but caps at 30 fps. I don't expect this to change for the next generation either. |
