It's been stated repeatedly that the "Shipping Soon" status on the portal is wrong, and that everything has already shipped.

 

Thank you and sorry, I don't really spend time on this forum anymore. I skimmed through 4 or so pages and didn't see any obvious answers. Perhaps there should be a physical rewards FAQ stickied? 

I'm interested in this too. It seems some people around the world have already received their physical copies, so I'm wondering whether the shipping status on the portal is accurate.

 

 

I would take a nap. It will probably be this afternoon Pacific time.

There go few hundred more of my dosh

I asked Josh on twitter if he's working on it, this was his response:

Ex-baseball star, addicted to MMOs, gets to make his own game with government money, squanders it all and walks away with a smile? Sounds like he's living The American Dream.

 

Don't forget the part where he's a vocal Tea Party supporter and huge opponent of Obama and bailouts and government money.

Supporting this game means supporting Herve Caen and he can burn in hell. That **** won't get a penny.

 

Also, begging for money is not cool.

HUGE NEWS:

I give up

Wow, you're really thinking about it backwards.

 

It's not charity, nobody is just giving away money for free. How do you think developers fund their games otherwise? They go to the publishers and get funding from them, while publishers end up with some level of creative control. This is exactly same thing. Only instead of publishers, they're getting funding from customers and customers are getting the game they paid for. That's all.

here comes the mil. If big publishers aren't thinking about this long and hard, they're wrong.

 

Granted, far from everyone will be able to make that kind of a fundraiser, but it still proves that people want more than what big names are feeding us

Gfted1, Do you know anything about Tim Schafer? He's as far from a cash grabbing cow as they come. He's been trying to make living on small projects and community funded initiatives for a while and I trust him completely. He has taken money from fans to develop games before and never screwed anyone over. ON top of that, giving a small independent company that much funding gaming community proves feasibility of skipping publishers and, hopefully, solidifies indie trend.

 

Once again, this is not some unknown dude milking dumb gamers, this is a legendary developer that has consistently given us some of the most unique and interesting games there are. He deserves every bit of support he is currently receiving.

 

No, I do not know anything about Tim Schafer. Im sure hes a helluva guy, loves mom and apple pie and regularly helps the tards. Like I said, its my perception thats rubbing me the wrong way. They obviously couldnt get the game funded through conventional methods so they did what any red blooded American company would do, mussed up their hair, turned their pockets inside out and held open a loot bag for everyone else to fill. Then, even after doubling their needs, still keep the gravy train rolling. You know, for future projects.

 

I think that last point is what bothers me the most. Just one mans opinon, nothing to see here.

 

At the same time, they've stated from the beginning that if they raise more money, they will put it into very specific improvements - Better VA, more platforms, better documentary. Also, of course publishers won't fund it, they think point and click adventure games are dead.

I'd donate maybe for an oldschool RPG, but for an adventure game? More than sixty adventure games alone are slated for release this year so far, not bad for a supposedly dead niche genre.

It's an adventure game from dudes who made some of the best and funniest adventure games out there - Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert.

I, for one, has hated Sony ever since working in a photo store selling digital cameras in high school. Even then they came off as arrogant ****. My current TV is a Panasonic plasma and i couldn't be happier. ON top of that I really don't like japanese games.

Three instabuys for me - GTA, MAx Payne and South Park. Everything else i'm very meh about

I just watched the 1% and the humor dalek episodes and they were great. Actually, I'm gonna go ahead and get excited for this game...

Well, there's your animated title:http://www.joystiq.com/2011/12/01/obsidian-heading-on-up-to-south-park-for-ps3-xbox-360-rpg/

Why? the statue seems cool.

Witcher 2 digital download is $16 on Amazon right now: http://www.amazon.com/Witcher-2-Assassins-...3564&sr=8-1

Started playing L.A. Noire.

 

Pretty nice so far. I hope we see that kind of facial capture in more games in the future, even though the tech is expensive as hell right now and requires actual actors. Sure beats standard morphing sliders.

Not anytime soon. It's just the face that so great, but because of that the body is no more than a stick figure. No way is this better than full body mocap. Its just not worth it.

 

IT is a full body mocap. They actually did two passes per scene - full body and facial mocap. Personally, i thought everyone was animated just fine.

I'm in the camp of people who really enjoyed FFVIII in fact i liked it helluva lot better than any other FF i've tried. FFXIII was just boring.

This should be a must read for every time Bethesda game is released: http://nma-fallout.com/content.php?page=features&id=28

This is depressing.

If any of you want to read it, here it is:

It's probably worth nothing that it's far from a complete plot summary - fragmented cutscene directions, mainly, and main quest descriptions.

 

That was ridiculously retarded.
