If the reason to back the project is the hope for the kind of writing one enjoys, then the team having writers one doesn't enjoy is, in my opinion, the best reason not to back it. After all, I have yet to meet a person who believes Planescape Torment was the most awesome game ever gameplay wise and needs a spiritual successor on those grounds. The word "doom" was of your choosing by the way. The question is whether we believe it is a project we personaly will enjoy - though maybe for you it's more a question of whether everyone else on the internet will share your taste In general I feel Black Library has been loosing quality as a whole. And in my opinion the Slayer novels should never have gone past the original short stories that fit the characters - Games Workshop chose to milk the franchise for cash and Mr. Long is the person they paid to do so - a dirty job but someone has to do it, I'm sure. Still, I for one felt that there was a distinct drop in quality between the last Slayer novel written by King and the first written by Long. Though my opinion is admittedly biased, as I am a fan of the old games workshop writers from the early days.

Is that the Black Library / Games Workshop "author" who's one novel I tortured myself with I threw in the recycling bin? Then it's part of the reason I am very reluctant with pledging myself. Going to read through all the updates carefully and possibly pledge a few minutes before the end of the campaign.

There was no hand holding in Planescape Torment. Even the times when you assisted/guided npcs on their personal journey to less-brokeness, it was very much optional, far from having a whining Alistair forced onto you and took more the form of discovering a neat new facet.

Finished King of Dragon Pass.

Let's hope its not such a disappointment as The Cave.

And you, Earth-raithe remember not to confront Planet as an enemy, but rather welcome its mysteries as gifts to be cherrished.

I wanted to post that link Link-thief!

They always do that for every big game and I hate it as well Should be a bannable offence *grumble grumble* That said, this post is titled: "LEIA IS CHEWBACCA'S FATHER!!!"

Ask not what you have done today. Ask what you will do today. So I will go forth and clean the litter box.

Don't know. It's sounding less interesting to me with people finishing it too fast

They are nothing close to Master of Orion or Space Empires. I had fun with Starcraft 2. But I prefer Dawn of War (1) when it comes to RTS games.

Streak, thats the word I was looking for!

Ah so the SSRMs aren't actually used?

I'm a bit confused. People keep talking about SSRMs and then talk about long range. aren't SSRMs Swarm Short Range Missiles? So shouldn't you be using SLRMs?

For me it wasn't "getting tired of it" that was the problem. My problem was "being tired" and the game just was too demanding of my brain cells - trying to predict my opponent's moves and set up my orders accordingly.

Wait, wait, wait. Escort missions that don't suck? That's practically unheard of. Are you sure you're feeling alright? I take it you haven't played Frozen Synapse then, Key?

I love Deathspank. But it is all about the humour. If that isn't your thing, then the games are tottally skipworthy.

Chris Roberts gave a shout out to Torment in the latest newsletter for Star Citizen: http://www.robertsspaceindustries.com/torment-tides-of-numenera/ (in which he also in passing mentions Obsidian )

Dead State is now doing pre-orders. http://www.deadstate.doublebearproductions.com/purchase/

Frozen Endzone, the tactical sports game thingie by the makers of Frozen Synapse is now on Steam Greenlight. Really looking forward to that. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=130862114

It gets worse, Tale.

Not that I was going to back in the first place, but: "· Kickstarter campaign and rewards fulfillment limited to U.S. and Canada. " Meh.

I have the Roslin & Adama theme as mine...

The SR2 fans seem to say that SR3 is a terrible game that completly ruined the series I think part of the reason I wouldn't be able to get into Sleeping Dogs is that I had spend som much time in SR3 (which is the first game of this type to draw me in since Vice City). If you ever need a coop partner, you can find me under the same nickname on steam. Especially when Saints Row 4 comes out soon. And it does come better than that. Wait 'till you do ensurance fraud challenges: launching yourself in front of cars, so you can get run over and tossed around to claim insurance.
