And realistically, after playing through the Legacy of the Void campaign, I'm about over Blizzard's cutscenes too.

LotV did not compare favorably, at all. But then again, it's more StarCraft so I can't bitch too much.

Also I personally liked the ending, cheesy as hell but at least it managed to tie up the loose ends. Also, as you said, more StarCraft is more StarCraft.

Chalks posted:I dunno, I mean everyone hypes their game up to some degree and it never really lives up to it. SC is one of the most egregious examples of failing to control expectations but I'm not sure that means they should be held to them any more than anyone else. No, I think it is categorically different. I would agree that SC should be held similarly accountable if Spore, Diakatana, Fable et al had had significant, operating cash shops before the game was finished, and were charging tens, hundreds or thousands of dollars for items. They didn't and weren't. In having the funding model where you buy ships (no quotation marks needed around "buy", if they're charging VAT you are buying it) for insane sums, and in hyping those ships, creating false scarcity, having "holiday sales" and so on, they are doing something very different, much more manipulative and much nastier than just saying a game that's coming out is going to be good when it's actually poo poo. People are buying things they can't afford and are getting deeply emotionally and financially invested in an impossible dream. You can call these people idiots. Sure, they probably are. But they're still people, and they don't deserve to be ripped off by a borderline conman who can't control his ego.

kikkelivelho posted:thinking about it, the ship designs in general are absolutely horrible. Many ships have interiors that are too small for normal FPS movement (and thus require transition animations). Some of them were clearly made without clear guidelines (the Cutlass has big red buttons that operate all the doors and systems, a feature that exist in no other ship). Most of the interiors are either massive wastes of space (that bomber ship thing) or they come from the large segmented tube school of design (constellation, freelancer). They really should've made the interiors first to make sure everything fits and that normal movement is possible throughout the ship. Here is the problem. The concepts get drawn and which very little insight or input as to how the internals will be built. Modelers then have to later figure that out from the concepts. Usually months later down the road. Yes; it's a mess.

Agrajag posted:if bought out the thousands of dollars spent of multiple jpegs are gone. there is a 100% chance that whoever bought it out will make massive massive cuts to get anything out the door and everything that was promised during their crowdfunding outside of kickstarter is void. Anyone who buys this project is absolutely on the hook for any of the pre-existing sales and other obligations. The only way those obligations could be voided is through court approval, which would never happen. The only instance I can think of off the top of my head where liabilities were stricken for a sale was with the GM bailout. When GM was bailed out, it was technically taken over and assumed by a new company also named GM, and a Federal Court had to very specifically approve that the liabilities be decoupled. It was only done because it was decided that preserving the existence of a major auto maker was hugely important to the nation for numerous reasons. It required the involvement of the President and Congress. It was still a contentious decision. All these years later, there are still lawsuits being filed about those liabilities being removed. No court in the land will take that kind of action to preserve the production of a video game. Nobody else will ever buy this project, it is completely toxic. CIG is stuck with it. If they can't pull it off, bankruptcy is the only way out.

It is a massive liability for them and and the only bail out is through independent investment sources. Short of that, it's bankruptcy.
