I would put my hands on W1 again, if they port it to the RED engine and do some tweaks regarding all that running around. While this, they could also change some stuff here and there, to make it fit better to W2. :>

Well, the game will be pirated in any case, as every game will be. And if any Kickstarter backer is pissed about it then... he needs to get a reality check. Also as Wasteland 2 will be DRM free, it just requires one guy who uploads the game to somewhere and that's it.

I see nothing wrong in that. Or let's say: I totally don't care about this. Pretty sure that inter-game C&C would just have turned out to be crap anyway... just like it did in ME.

Yea, cutting of arms, etc. was in the game if I remember correct.

Just see it as experiment. Either it works out or not, at least we tried.

I am sure that everyone knows the risk of a game being ****ty. At least they should. At least I do.

Never heard anyone calling them "masters of C&C".

That's why I am happy that Wasteland 2 got over 3 million. They won't see all of that money, but it is a lot more than their initial 900k / 1 million.

Just noticed, that the dragon scene in the beginning was not shortened. It's just that the second part can't be chosen anymore at the beginning of the dialog. But other than that the combat got really easy (never got seriously damaged in chapter 0 even though I got hit a few times and I still remember how I had to redo the dragon + wood house + fire scene like 20 times until I got past it. This time I was just running through and done.). Also there are some new cutscenes in the game, where Dandelion is telling the story. I like that. /Edit: Looking at that link above, it seems to me the PC version has way too much bloom...

Yea, tried it already the night. First change I saw was in the beginning with the dragon. This part was a lot shorter, with the "jump away from fire"-part totally missing. Also the prequel is a lot easier in difficult, though I think this was done already in the 2.0 patch.

Like I owe you an answer. Go play it yourself, if possible, past the tutorial area? Then come back and apologize how right I was. I didn't played it (because I don't want to spend money on a game that might be ****ty FPS) and you don't want to tell my why it is better than any other FPS. Guess I will never find out then.

You still haven't said why.

No. If the game got funded, your money is taken and if the game fails to exist after that, you will not get your money back.

Also, so far we do not know what will happen if a project fails to get developed even though it got the asked funding. Imagine you are investing $250 into a game which will then never happen. Prepare for a) ignoring this issue in anger or b) step right into lawyer bull**** and all this ta-ta so that you maybe get your money back... or not. With Wasteland 2, the Banner Saga, Shadowrun, etc. the risk is not so high, which is why I pledge for this without thinking much about it. But I wouldn't do this with every project just because it sounds good on paper.

Playing some Legend of Grimrock right now. Around 2 hours into it and so far it is really good.

Finally got a Jagdtiger in World of Tanks. The tank is fun to play, but really not a money maker...

Now I somehow hope for a little bit of base management too. The setting for this would be there and it could lead to quite a few good scenarios (gathering folks for the outpost, etc).

The new patch for Witcher 2 can be pre-loaded now with this tool. Had to reinstall and upgrade my normal version again right now, because it got ****ed up with my last windows installation.

Started re-downloading Witcher 2 with the new patch. On 17th april, I will be ready to do some witchers work again. \o/

Yea, would have tried it already, but I am pretty sure it won't run very smooth on my machine. Also I find these airships a bit strange... does that really fit to TES?

The second Double Fine Kickstarter video for backers is online. It is p.nice to watch, tensed to see the one next month.

Yes. I am imagining it like a normal slideshow. No videos, just images with voice over, because of the costs (it is a free dlc, after all).

I found it quite addictive in the beginning, because of all the stuff you can / have to activate over time. Though, this also annoyed me the most and ultimately made me stop playing. You play to earn points and with these points you buy packages, which contain randomly 5 items... So in order to get object x, you either have to be extremely lucky or play a million games so you might get it some fine day. And for the later it is just way too repitativ. Always the same 5 maps, always the same enemies, always the same tactics, etc.

What files could you modify which would give you an advantage in multiplayer? Crosshairs? Sounds pretty stupid to me, except if they have stuff like weapon stats read from local files... in which case BioWare would be the one who is stupid for having the game work in that way.

That's p.cool and the chick is hawt.
