I love the Final Fantasy series myself, but FF12 easily has the worst combat of any of them. Game overall was pretty eh... it's one of the very few FFs I haven't been able to play much because it just isn't interesting. FFX is my favorite combat system of the FFs... and it's a true turn-based...

But why? It's not a military vehicle, it's not a tank. It's a robot.

The art is awesome. As for the argument going on, legs have obvious advantages over wheels in an environment where roads are scarce or non-existent and debris is commonplace... such as a decaying post-apocalyptic urban area ala the concept art. Also, the scorpitron 2.0 can obviously...

I'm not terribly worried about the 6-figure donation offer. I feel certain that Fargo would balk at any demands for overt influence over the game's development or over-the-top in-game acknowledgement as a condition of the donation. It's not like he needs the money. Sure would be swell if the guy...

Those bastards put the t-shirt at the $150 tier? I am totally withdrawing my pledge and boycotting this game. ~_~ But really, everything sounds great so far. And don't be too skeptical -- from what I've seen, a spike in last-minute donations to the tune of $600k+ isn't much of a stretch at all.

I dunno. I think some VO would be a fine use of the budget, though only in key parts while keeping most of it text to allow for more branching dialogue. Like how Grandia II, for example, only had VO during important scenes for the effect, but the rest was just on-screen text. Or perhaps the...

When did it become such a cardinal sin to admit to making a mistake? Even releasing an "extended cut" DLC to "clarify" the endings, Bioware has to make sure point how proud they are of ME3 and how they stand by the "artistic vision" that produced the "endings". Yeah, whatever. And LOL @ EA...

Ugh. Let's not mention Minecraft, a hugely overrated turd, in a thread celebrating the success of the Wasteland 2 kickstarter, please. But yes, I think 2.5mil is well within sight, especially given the historical trend of Kickstarter projects picking up steam near the end of their drives.

Hum. Any way to get that countdown timer into a signature on a board that doesn't allow HTML code?

For anyone who might be interested, you can download a free character creation demo plus benchmark for PSO2 here. Also, the game is going to be free-to-play with some premium content you purchase via a cash shop, following the now popular F2P format.

Besides the ways in which your post is flat-out wrong as pointed out by BN, I also have to add: the purpose of the project is outlined quite clearly on Wasteland 2's kickstarter page. The purpose is for Brian Fargo to build the kind of Wasteland 2 he wants to build: an "old-school" sandbox RPG...

After rereading the editorial, I now agree that he doesn't seem to be asking for combat ala FO3 or the like. However, he does seem to be against turn-based combat. What he advocates is what he calls "phased" combat, which are systems that emulate turn-based combat using timers but without actual...

Well see that's the thing: this project doesn't have to be a run-away commercial success. That's part of the point. 'Course, it'd be great if it was so that inXile would make a tidy profit it could put toward future projects. But, I think the game has a good chance at being pretty successful if...

That's not what I got from the article, and if that's what he meant, he definitely wasn't very clear about it. I don't think anyone is saying they should bring Wasteland's combat system back. If that's what he's arguing against, then who the hell is he even talking to? It seems more like he's...

That's really exactly what Wasteland 2 needs: a bigger focus on exploration and discovery than having some narrative shoved at you. Note: exploration doesn't have to be tedious like in Bethesda games.

What exactly are you suggesting? That Fargo is going to take all the money and run? Or that he's going to push out some half-assed pile of dung, slap a "Wasteland 2" sticker on it, push it out the door and pocket the leftovers? Even if that happened, it'd be the biggest mistake of his life. A...

See, this is where he goes wrong: it has no need to entice fans of Fallout 3's crappy combat. It's fan-funded, and it was funded by fans of the "old-school" turn-based combat. This guy just doesn't get it.

It's 2.1 million, not 2.3. WTF are you talking about. Obsidian is not co-developing the game in the way people seem to be misinterpreting. They are just going to provide development tools and Chris Avellone will assist with writing and such. There is not going to be an Obsidian team developing...

Not to be a pest, but I'm kinda in suspense here: Are we still waiting on Fargo before proceeding with this? Is he good with Silencer's random pool of names idea? Have emails gone out about this yet? Just curious.

Awesome idea, lets all the donors get their names in while keeping the length in check. Too bad there's no system for giving kudos on this forum, or you'd totally get one.
