Leisure Suit Larry is awesome and for a full reimagining of 1-7 it's well worth the investment especially if you never played them. It's unrepentant no-brow humor and if you're too good for it, shame on you. That said I do think it's a little unreasonable that you have to pledge 500 loving dollars to get the hardcover version of the art book. VVVVVVVVV In this case yes shame on you signalnoise fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Apr 2, 2012 |

Honestly they really are asking too much for what they're offering. If they were going ahead with LSL1-3 I could see giving a lot more of a poo poo but LSL1 has a VGA version already. I would love to see all of them redone but it ain't happening.

Toadsniff posted:Man I am with you all the way, I like the look of the EGA games just fine, remaking these games is just not the right thing to do and will probably end up hurting these series. Does this mean they will remake LSL6/7 and SQ6? All those games look great even today, why remake them? I can't speak for everyone but I'm pretty sure this is not what the fans want from the return of classic Sierra devs. I'd be fine with it, if only it had LSL 2 and 3. Those are ridiculously dated. I really just can't fathom how they think people will want to pay this for only LSL 1.

Sporadic posted:The thing that pisses me off about Leisure Suit Larry HD is that they could do it for much, much cheaper if they would pull back on what they want to accomplish. There's no real reason why they need to do professional voiceover work (or any voiceover work, just keep it text only) or orchestra sound or a ton of ports right out the gate. The orchestra thing is what kills it for me. Part of the appeal of LSL is the chintsyness about it. They'd go a lot further with a jazz quartet. Al Lowe himself is a loving saxophone player anyway. He could do that himself. signalnoise fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Apr 5, 2012 |

It's not a charity, it's a gambling operation. You wager the pledge amount and in return you get a bunch of stuff (maybe), and the quality of the stuff is unknown. It's assumed that the house always wins, so you're playing it for fun (as you should at any casino). You should not go in on it assured you've made a good purchase, nor should you be super pissed when things don't turn out the way you wanted. The odds are currently unknown. I'm hoping the horses I've picked turn out to be winners.

I basically backed Massive Chalice based on "roguelike tactical" but we'll see how that goes. It's definitely my biggest straight up gamble on kickstarter so far, and for that they got the minimum pledge to make the game.

All they should have to do is look at every single big Kickstarter from the last two years. Sex sells Gore sells Nostalgia? Who cares- a bad publisher For real though Kickstarter is an amazing PR platform AND risk aversion tool so even if a publisher knows their game will sell it's worth using

DoctorTristan posted:Off the top of my head I can't think of any indie gaming kick starters that funded for 6 figures, which was happening all over the place 3-4 years ago. (I'm ignoring psychonauts 2 and wasteland 3 because). Of ones that have funded recently we tend to see totals in the 20-40k range, which is not going to be enough to fund development of any kind of quality product and is only going to lead to yet more backer disaffection and less funding in future. I'd like to see a total spending on kickstarter video gaming monthly, because it seems to me like we're not getting the huge numbers we used to, but we're getting more kickstarters. Also, Bloodstained hit 5 million in 2015, along with 7-figure games Shenmue 3 and Yooka-Laylee and BattleTech. Or is that not "indie"? signalnoise fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Jan 2, 2017 |

Neopie posted:Bloof stained and Yooka layer were both headed by old industry people. Battle tech maybe? Jordan Weisman's been in the game a long time, but are you really gonna spell doom for kickstarter because underfunded projects run by people with no project management experience are failing? So what if it ends up being the platform for industry legends with no backing? It still serves the purpose of delivering production money to people who wouldn't have got it otherwise.

OtspIII posted:I'm enjoying it fairly well so far, having more or less just done the tutorial and about 10 minutes of the real game. It'd probably be a little better if I was playing coop, though. The combat is stiff because you haven't bought special attack books. The game loving owns. Alien Rope Burn posted:A lot of it so far is "do you realllly want a sequel to River City Ransom", because while the flow of combat is greatly improved and the animation is very strong, it also carries baggage from the original and doesn't explain much as you're playing it. We'll see how it goes as I get in more time with it. I'm rather enjoying it, but it doesn't do too much to make itself approachable. I feel like the game is an extension of the original. I think that this is where the game is supposed to have gone. However, if you don't have any memory of RCR, say you're some 16 year old kid who just picked up a cheap game you might feel something's missing. If you are a crazy RCR diehard like RCR is in your top games of all time, you'll loving love it, but it's kind of a shame it won't be competing with Shovel Knight on platform selection. signalnoise fucked around with this message at 14:56 on Feb 28, 2017 |

I've been playing it lately and it's decent but it seems like for all the hype nobody is really talking about it. I have been playing it and it's great and for people who complain about kiting it's like they never played RCR before. The way to play RCRU is to be fuckin relentless

Alien Rope Burn posted:Yeah, having gotten into the late-game with a max level Bruno and I find it more useful to maneuver around and footsie until I get a hit confirm, and a basic Punch > Throat Cut > Poison Mist is enough to take down most normal foes. Using Frog Splash allows me to reposition and get all the enemies on one side of me when I need it. I use Back Elbow to hit people when they're down when I get the chance. Well there's poo poo to know like, you can jumpkick backwards. So what you can do with someone who's backing up is running jump past them and kick them in the back of the head as you come down. It's your basic street fighter style cross-up. Also a running jump attack lets you do a running attack when you land. So you can do running jump attack into slide. This is classic RCR, just expanded. They kited in RCR too, and they blocked all over the place. So you have to get an angle in to attack from, hit for stun, and then manhandle them. Running around also helps to get them bunched up or separated depending on how you like to fight. signalnoise fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Mar 15, 2017 |

My experience with T:Numenera so far is that everything is a resource dump. This includes combat. Where a combat-focused character will find a more difficult time with non-combat activities, a character that isn't focused on combat will have a more difficult time with combat. Effort is finite, and unlike other games, combat isn't something you just wade through. Unavoidable combat in this game is the same from a resource perspective as unavoidable puzzles.
