    I might have killed Firkraag once after looking up cheap strategies. I stink at almost every single boss battle in that series.

    If you're not willing to acknowledge the complications or drawbacks, how can there be a discussion?

    I play on consoles. I, and everyone else I know, don't have their consoles hooked up in a way where using a keyboard is all that feasible. We use them in living rooms and off couches. Not at desks. Because we, the backers, paid for a PC game. If Obsidian wants to, after the game is done, try and make a PS4 port that mandates mouse and keyboard with no controller concessions without using backer money, I have no complaint. I just don't think it'll be a wise investment for them.

    We didn't fund it for a PS4 version. And I think a good number of the backers would consider it widely inappropriate if the funding they pledged went into producing a PS4 version. Project Eternity isn't being designed as a game that supports mouse and keyboard. It's being designed as a game that mandates mouse and keyboard. Any efforts to support other input devices are, in my opinion, to be strongly fought against. There's too many concessions required to make it function. And a PS4 game with mandatory mouse and keyboard isn't going to end up being well received by those who are looking to play from the console, anyway.

    I just watched the video at home and I have to say it's really the most beautiful game I've ever seen. Not to gush, but I'm a fan of what can be done with pre-rendered over 3D and it looks fantastic.

    A semi-common problem for physical reward tiers seems to be not realizing country and state are dropdowns. Obviously this doesn't apply to the OP, but some of you may be having the problem the same as I. Double check those two entries, type in only two letters and then click what drops down.
  7. Tale
    Watcher is most "expensive" badge. It's also something in the game we're not clear on. Maybe a title associated with the PC.
  8. Tale
    Mail? Or e-mail. Maybe you're just not a physical reward tier. Double check your entry fields for a drop down. I can't imagine what it would be if not country/state.

    Playing cards. Everyone loves playing cards.

    I think that's actually a drop-down menu, such that what you type into it isn't actually a selection, even if it's the "same" string of characters as a valid selection. There's nothing visually denoting that as a drop-down menu, as opposed to a simple text-entry field, which is confusing. Same with State. Someone might want to slap a little down-arrow button onto those two bits. Anywhoz... try typing PART of your country name, wait for the list to pop up, then click on your country name to select it from the list. I bet it'll work then. I THINK WE HAVE A WINNER! Thanks a lot.

    I'm guessing by your backer badges you managed to get in.

    Same error, I put in a report on the contact form.

    Do I want more?! The answer is an obvious no, because I'm a contrarian. I kind of need to know the give/take on the choices to be honest. Without stretch goals, do you focus on shipping and polishing what's already planned? With stretch goals might the release get pushed back, but you expect funding to make another leap that wouldn't happen otherwise?

    Resurrection is an interesting one. Whedon wrote the script and he the one thing he's always said about it is he's amazed at how they followed so much of what he wrote, but emphasised all of the wrong parts which left it coming across as wildly different to how he wrote it. Something along the lines of "Technically, they followed the script. But in reality, it was completely wrong." I do like a lot of what they did in Resurrection. They showed the Aliens as more capable and intelligent than previous movies. The scene where the Aliens kill one of their own to use its acid blood to create an escape is practically ripped straight from my favorite scene in the comics/novels.

    Heh, did you know Michael Biehn refuses to watch Alien 3, because he felt that Hicks deserved a much better death sequence? Something along the lines that for all the effort he put into shaping the character in Aliens, there shouldn't have been some glossed over "panning shot of Hicks with chest exploded" as the end of that character. Didn't know it, but not surprised by it. Cameron also thought 3 was disrespectful to the characters last I heard. The one thing I really don't like about this script is it's all Hicks. Ripley's in a coma then shoved into a lifepod. That's it.

    Not really excited by that. Procedural generation itself has never wowed me. The games that use it instead gain my attention for the depth of play that works alongside it.

    Shin Megami Tensei IV It's got good atmosphere and style so far. Haven't played much to have any opinion beyond that. I finished Virtue's Last Reward while I was iced in over the weekend. Fantastic game, but there's way too much epilogue and it really killed the pace of the end.

    STEAM!

    Tale replied to Rosbjerg's topic in Computer and Console

    Two of them use Steam for networking. You get rid of Steamworks and they stop functioning. Lots of games are sold outside of Steam. That's a totally different thing.

    William Gibson's Alien 3 script Pretty good. Needs more Ripley.
  20. Tale
    Virtue's Last Reward This is somewhat bizarre. Okay, it's 90% the same tone as the last game, 999, but the final 10% is just wacky enough that I don't know how to feel. So it's a game about people who got kidnapped and are forced to play a game in a complex with puzzles or die. But this time, the guy who's giving instruction is a CGI bunny with a fondness for puns... He's too adorable to take seriously.

    Virtue's Last Reward and my power supply should be arriving today. I don't know which to play with first.

    STEAM!

    Tale replied to Rosbjerg's topic in Computer and Console

    Several of them are Steam exclusive. Natural Selection won't even run without Steam, it requires the server browser to function.

    Dark Souls' notoriety seems... exaggerated. There's going to be some trial and error, but simply being cautious should get you through half the game. It's not even as hardcore as games like Baldur's Gate II, where you have to have entire spell sets ready for particular fights. There's no needing +3 weapons to damage a particular boss or spell breach.

    I lost the main menu editor. I don't know about pigments, I should expect them to be handled the same way.

    I beat the game when it originally came out. I'm playing the Dark Arisen re-release now with a new character. It's slow going since I've done all this before and am not ready to hit up Bitterblack Isle yet.
