While it's a horrible game, it is a little funny at least (from the advertisement video at least.) Just people being too serious and plays on multiple industry behaviors. This isn't just about the game being set with the Boston Marathon, but many different elements come together to strike as "funny" in one way or…

With how many delays this has gone though, I'm slightly concerned here that we'll see a mediocre release. It's really hard to change focus as rough as these guys are.

As of what? The past two days? Auuugh I just did the first update run three days ago!

The fact that they posted here reminded me to look at it. I wasn't aware that Larian was doing a Kickstarter in the first place, so the timing here is perfect.

I can't really get that excited for it either. After having to send in 5 consoles for repair/replacement, and buying two as replacements for failing SKUs, I'm just not that excited for it. Combine that with rumors and they'll have a LOT they have to convince me on.

I swear that must have been influenced by Gearbox a bit. The collaboration is very good.

But if you expect better games so the publisher can also expect better sales.

He sticks to the SNES.

Here we go.. the destruction of the Arkham franchise.

And I'm not sure what made you think that developers believe there's an infinite amount of money that can be squeezed out of the market, but I can assure that's not true. Like all business they create business plan which says how much they can spend and what is their target revenue.

And I'm tired of people complaining about the miss of innovation. You're simply saturated. Sitting there getting three-star meals and complaining about the taste. You simply forgot how it is to hunger.

If it wasn't JUST so they could force you to sit through the previews than I'd be okay with it. (I'm fine with refusing to seat after the actual movie starts.)

Kind of like the movie theaters where I live. You pay for your ticket, the overpriced popcorn and drink, then settle down in your seat to watch three or four commercials before the trailers starts.

Doesn't mean that they shouldn't be there. The dashboard was changed specifically for advertising and those empty blocks still waste space that could be used for my content. I won't be investing in Durango (always-on rumors also a significant point of concern.)

The store page is one giant advertisement. Also every day after you close your first game, a popup appears showing the latest releases and deals. however the fact most of these games are on sale helps mitigate their impact.

The investors have every right to expect a high returns on their money. Why invest years and years into a company for low return? Where they can make more money at another industry

Still irks me that for how well they do financially with the Call of Duty franchise, they aren't able to push out something new, interesting, and captivating to their core audience. Instead, they're pushing the Skylanders toys.

Even if it's "For Profit" that doesn't mean they have to harm their own industry by pushing out yearly, stale releases. I'm happy that some kids get to play with Skylanders (I'm sorry for the parents having to buy them), but it's still a bit weird that the most valuable franchise isn't getting pushed forward when it…

Nobody thinks that it's cheap to develop games, people are starting to argue that publishers are simply spending TOO much on development and then complain when they don't rake in numbers than they expected. ( http://www.gamespot.com/news/tomb-raid… )
