When goons first started talking about Transverse I for reals thought it was a parody thing. It sounds like a joke.
But then again so does Star Citizen so...

Actually i'm pretty ok with indie early access, or kickstarter projects for indie games such as FTL, but pretty much whenever an established developer (UBER, Bohemia, christ robots if you can call him that) it becomes apparent that they're using Early Access/Kickstarter just so that they could avoid having obligations towards their financiers which is pretty drat shady.

It's pretty telling that every big name crowdfunding game has turned out to be a complete flop while the smaller ones deliver on what they originally promised, usually, well there have been plenty of indie flops but those guys don't try to raise millions of dollars.

Wasteland 2? Carmageddon? Those games Double Fine has been doing? Shadowrun?

Hmmmmmm seems like not "every big name crowd funded game has turned out to be a complete flop" :shrug:

SA gaming threads have terrible groupthink in general but the agenda ppl go into threads with(always gotta be cherry-picking anecdotes to support some obsessive and pointless thesis) is laughable and childeish

i didnt even have the willpower to try the expansion, the original was so threadbare and boring. it was fundamentally unsatisfying in the same way smoking an ultra-light cigarette is.

Wasteland 2 is what, 8 month off schedule? Dragonfall cost extra and the original shadowrun campaign was a pretty lackluster 90s esque rpg, yeah the dialogue didn't suck, great success. Planetary Annihilation is outdone by Total Annihilation and you can't save a game.

In the meanwhile C-rob is banking 54 million dollars and bohemia sold 2.5 million copies of a broken rear end game that won't be remotely playable for another year, crowdfunding major titles sure is a great idea.

Imagine four 'mechs waiting in a queue. Time works the same way.
The planetary annihilation thread has recently had the discussion. A lot of people went back to supreme commander.

PA can be summed up as "A TA game where they forgot why TA was fun."

Then again there was some tournament for 50 bucks where you get hosed over by space geometry because the money planet you start on collides with a lava planet by design.

It's also the last game of its kind that I ever played thanks to the players' decision that APM was a valuable gameplay mechanic. I miss being able to set up orders in advance and having them followed somewhat intelligently. But that's not what the players wanted, they wanted to cockslap their minions into not being complete fuckhead retards by wearing out their mouse buttons. I haven't enjoyed a single RTS since that became viewed as a good and necessary feature.

i hate APM because all it does is reward constant twitch activity and not wise planning or strategic management. it's the quake-style shooter of the strategy game world

And I'm actually fine with it that people enjoy that, just like never playing a loving Dota doesn't mean I want them wiped off the face of the earth. I just wish they hadn't effectively squashed the alternative. I've never heard of Planetary Annihilation but if they were going for that good on em for at least trying. Doesn't mean it's not a poo poo game of course, I have no idea.

yeah, starcraft pretty much ruined RTS as a genre - except for previously mentioned gems of actual strategy like Wargame or Total War.
