I think this will hit the target, I'm praying it does. Even if they can get to 2million with 2-3 days to go, there'll be a final surge to get it over the edge.

Yeah, I think kickstarters all tend to have a final surge and that DFA's had one wasn't a fluke. Plenty of people want to contribute and prepurchase their copy of the game now but are unsure of what their money situation will be when the project ends and the money is taken. I know it's possible to pledge money and then retract it at any time but that's just what people do. Heck, I'm in the same boat. I'll be there on the day before it ends, pledging my $15 (or $65 if I can stretch to pay for the big box and cloth map + shipping).

Hakkesshu posted:This whole all-star team consisting of the people who made Fallout and Planescape Torment working together to make an old-school RPG without any publisher interference is almost too good to be true. Something that happens once a generation. It's the PC equivalent of Chrono Trigger. Not to jynx it, but when Sakaguchi, Toriyama, and Uematsu got back together for the first time since Chrono Trigger, the result was Blue Dragon.

So, I'm getting married later this year, and I really couldn't afford $115 for the premium edition and shipping... But on the other hand, I couldn't afford NOT to pledge $115. Thinking back to the amount of time I spent with the Fallout series, it's gunna be worth every single penny.

At the rate it's advancing there's no need to be worried about not making the target. Since the announcement yesterday it's gone up by around 150k. At that rate it could be done in two days.

Should be enough to hit 2.1 If things immediately snap back to a "normal) (read: non-Obsidian influenced) pattern, this project will crack 2.1 million around noon on the 7th, 10 days before the finale. It's basically guaranteed at this point Obsidian will be on board when we are all said and done. Edit: Hey you Category Fun! posted:At the rate it's advancing there's no need to be worried about not making the target. Since the announcement yesterday it's gone up by around 150k.

A lot of greatness working together doesn't automatically mean that the work itself will blow people away. But I think we can be pretty sure it will be fun, though.

Well, having never played the original wasteland but loving fallout and playing through torment right now I thought I'd throw in 50$ eventually. But with obsidian entering the picture I instantly threw in 100$. This rocks.

Pledged $15. I'm frustrated with lots of video game trends like Free-to-play, persistent RPG elements in multiplayer games, and the overall consistent simplification of games.

I had no problem with that game other than the boss music sounding like a Deep Purple cover band and Maromaru doesn't get killed and replaced with something less annoying as soon as you meet him. The class and skill mechanics were a nice change of pace and the game's graphics and art, especially for an early 360 game, was drat good.

I think it's a mistake to expect The Best Game Ever, or the best parts of everyone's favorite projects combined, when it comes to these type of Kickstarter projects. People are just funding a new game. Part of the fun will be seeing how well the game succeeds at its goals, the decisions the developers made, etc.

What happened, how did SEGA manage to get their paws on the AP property?

Pledged 15 dollars because I can't really afford much more than that. Also I haven't gotten throw fallout or fallout 2 or planescape so I can't on good faith say I'll enjoy this game. But I do love obsidian very very much.
