Delfosse Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 http://www.kickstart...telling-toolset According to this KS project, MCA worked on... Baldurs Gate 2. OK. Pretty cool idea, but it's too bad they don't talk about the combat system at all. I would've given them all I have if they decided to go with the 3d dnd edition.
C2B Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) The LSL kickstarter is on its final stretch with 11 hours to go and needs a little over $10'000 (with paypal) to reach its final goal at 650'000, http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/leisuresuitlarry/make-leisure-suit-larry-come-again/posts Edited May 2, 2012 by C2B
Bos_hybrid Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 In case someone still doesn't have Alpha Protocol, it's $4 on gamersgate.
C2B Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 The 650'000 goal has been reached on the Larry Kickstarter, still 7 hours to go.
Nepenthe Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 The 650'000 goal has been reached on the Larry Kickstarter, still 7 hours to go. Happy. I think most of their tiers sucked, though, there's absolutely nothing worthwhile between the first boxed version and the $ 500 signature edition. I did go for the boxed version, in the end. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Starwars Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Wasn't too enthused that it would simply be a remake of the first Larry game but I must say that Al Lowe pretty much won me over completely by his videos. How can you not want to support this kind, funny old man? Reminds me so much of my father and his friends who will absolutely laugh their ass off at the lamest of dirty jokes. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Majek Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Meh, i didn't support it. Maybe ill buy it after it's released. I pretty much forgot about kickstarter after Wasteland 2 got funded, i've only checked how much Shadowrun made and that's it. No more kickstarter projects for me. Too many unknowns or scams or just plain stupid ideas to browse through to find something promising. 1.13 killed off Ja2.
C2B Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 The Leisure Suit Larry Remake Kickstarter has finished its run, totalling more than 673'000. You can still contribute on paypal for a while if you want. http://www.replaygamesinc.com/leisure-suit-larry-paypal-donations/
Malcador Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 In case someone still doesn't have Alpha Protocol, it's $4 on gamersgate. I knew I should have waited. I paid $50+ for that.

Spider Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Grim Dawn also has a kicstarter up. Can be found here: For those who don't know, it's an open world action rpg, built around the Titan Quest engine. The team (two people) have been working on it themselves for two years and are asking for money to hire more people full time, in order to get the game out sooner and with more polish. They've almost met their funding goal as is with 15 days left to go, so that's good news. Personally this is probably the kickstarter I'm most excited by, even more so than Wasteland 2.

WorstUsernameEver Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Everyone knew about it already. Still has more info than the Dawnguard announcement
Morgoth Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Company of Heroes 2 sort of announced (German) Rain makes everything better.
Hurlshort Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 http://www.pcgamer.c...orld-of-skyrim/ Elder Scrolls MMORPG. Yay ? Yawn. I have to say, I just don't find the ES universe very interesting. Daedric princes and all that are fairly yawn inducing for me. I love the idea of exploring a huge world that looks beautiful, but the lore has never really pulled me in. Morrowind was the only one I ever got close to finishing the story on, and even that lost me after awhile.
Orogun01 Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 http://www.pcgamer.c...orld-of-skyrim/ Elder Scrolls MMORPG. Yay ? Only if they let users load all their mods. 1 I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
mkreku Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 If it's like a modern version of Daggerfall (with 16000+ towns and villages and a landmass the size of Great Britain), then I'm actually interested. This is the only game that actually included all of Tamriel. I would loooove to explore that! The main flaw of Daggerfall was that it was so empty. A MMORPG would solve that problem.

WorstUsernameEver Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Uhm, Daggerfall focused on one region? Arena had all the regions, but frankly I prefer the kind of density and detail you can put in a small section of the world.
mkreku Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Uhm, Daggerfall focused on one region? Is that a question or a statement? If it's a question then, no. If it's a statement, then I don't know what you're talking about. You can put exactly as much density and detail in the whole world as you can in a small section. All you need is more time and more resources. I vastly prefer the whole world like that. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
WorstUsernameEver Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Daggerfall was set in High Rock and Hammerfell, so two regions I guess? It didn't include all Tamriel. "All you need is more time and more resources" Well.. thanks, I guess.
mkreku Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 You're right, my memory fails me. Two regions, not all of Tamriel, just checked it. A MMORPG usually has a much larger scope than a single player RPG. If it doesn't launch with all of Tamriel, it could very well be expanded later. The thought of this excites me at least. Daggerfall was massive! I would love to see a game of that scope again. Saying that you'd prefer "small sections of the world" because of the "density and detail" is almost as dumb as the people who ask "What would you prefer? A short good game or a long mediocre game?", like the two were somehow equivalents (very common question on these boards). Why would anyone prefer a mediocre game if you could choose a good game? The question should be "What would you prefer? A short good game or a long good game?". How many people would then prefer the short game? Same here. Who would prefer the smaller game, assuming they were of equal quality? The difference is only time and resources, something most MMORPG's have plenty of.
