To a non-Jalop you just showed two very similar looking cars, and the one with the trendy technology is cheaper. (Thinking like my wife here - the only cars she’s impressed with have big, loud engines. To her the FoRS might as well be a Scion xD.)
For what is worth, even if they do go over budget, the backers won’t have to give any more money. Act 2 of Broken Age was paid for by sales of Act 1, but only new buyers had to pay for it, while the original backers got it for free. So they got the finished game much later than they had been promised, but they also…
I heard so many bad things about Broken Age, I almost didn’t buy it, but it was on sale and decided to give it a try anyway.
I got my DRM-Free downloads. It’s on the same page I got the Steam Key from, fulfilled via Humble Bundle. If you don’t have a link to a download page, you can stick the email address you used for kickstarter in this page here: https://www.humblebundle.com/resender
I was a backer, and I thoroughly love that game. Nothing about it disappointed me. I feel like people are quick to shit on it because it springboarded kickstarter into a massive viable platform for game development. What they promised was a classic point and click. What they delivered was a classic point and click…
I did not fund Broken Age and was completely removed from the hype. Decided to play in on a whim while I waited for my brother to let me borrow a game the other day, and I really, really liked it! I was genuinely bummed when it was over.
I’m sorry but he did trash Trek. He missed Gene’s entire point of for once the humans got their shit in order and are the moral standard of the galaxy. Without the lessons we see in every star trek, it’s not star trek. It’s another action space movie.
I dunno, as someone who thinks that’s a pretty valid criticism (honestly, I was good after 2 Death Stars and one trench run, thanks), I would’ve been happy with there being no retread moments. I also think it’s a little disingenuous to compare the Star Wars and Star Trek fanbases, since I think Abrams has gone on…
I think that’s a good point. Making Force Awakens and getting the good will they’ve gotten from most fans will allow them a little more leeway for Episodes 8 and 9. Basically the opposite of what happened with Phantom Menace where it was so horribly bad that nobody wanted to entertain the idea that 2 and 3 were…
Abrams murdered Trek, the end. As a generic SciFi movie? Pretty sold but it just blows as a Trek movie.
You can carry the TONE of the original movie without DUPLICATING the plot wholesale.
if the original Star Wars trilogy were first made in the internet age, it would’ve failed... and failed miserably. Going back to stupid shit about what made people love it decades ago is ludicrous. Asshole whack jobs didn’t break down every single frame of a fucking trailer back then. Maybe just enjoy it for what it…
So you found the “let’s make the deathstar bigger, but this time call it ‘starkiller base’”to be a convincing creative choice?
The only criticism I have of The Force Awakens is everybody’s need to mention how many times they’ve seen it like its some goddamn accomplishment.
TECHNICALLY, it’s space opera/fantasy, not science fiction.

I think more than anything they were working hard to be like, “Hey, you like Star Wars, right?! Well, this is like Star Wars but NOT like those prequels.” It wasn’t groundbreaking and was very much like the original but that was very conscious and I’d imagine the veer off more, now that they have built up some trust.
It’s okay to dislike whatever you do not believe rises to the level of your personal standards—but conflating one group with another for the sake of easy derision is a little intellectually dishonest.
It’s a pretty neat system, actually. Vehicles get their own entire upgrade area with a three-tier tree. There are cosmetic things like new skins, changing the colour of your vehicle shots, trail or exhaust. But you can also buy power or ability upgrades. Buying 10 in the first tree unlocks the second form of the…
