Game News Shadowrun: Hong Kong Kickstarter Update #5: $450k raised, three more stretch goals unlocked

[Disgruntled]

Heh one side gets a backhanded apology, the other has an advocate featured prominently in a ks update hinting her inclusion as an npc. The reason gamergate got such a head of steam is that the non-gamers railroaded their bullshit unopposed for a good year or two.
Keep out faggity activists and nerd pandering celebs just like you censor the gamergaters please.

Anywho this storm in a teacup is not why I hesitate to throw in my money. Do they plan to put this up for more than $15? cause that ks value option is seriously lacking. Combined with the meh stretch goals and small size, Im still looking at it like something I can wait and buy after release day (p)reviews. Fair enough they are going on the pedigree of Dragonfall, but I expect a good reason to buy now instead of later.

Honestly I wished this law was adopted:

"Any gamming activist of any ideology or political affiliation will have his dick cutted and her vagina tied up for the crime of making the life of sane people a misery."

Whatever happened to gaming being about playing games and having a good time.

But then the trannies win.

Come on revamped Matrix!

 

[Damned Registrations]

Above all I hope they make the matrix faster when they revamp it. It feels really backward that everything takes longer in the matrix because of all the animations on everything moving around. It's obvious why they did it, but watching your avatar casually stroll around in there like a meatbag feels really dumb. Would be kind of miffed if they added a bunch of other stuff (mechanics for stealthing through) but left that part the same.

Nice to see this thing chugging along. Crazy to think that before this one, I haven't pledged to a KS since Torment. I know everybody's busy actually working on their games but it really feels like the incline is a little tentative.

One thing HBS could do better is marketing. There are barely any news in the press about this project. They should reach out to the youtube crowd as well (through TB, Angry Joe and the like).

 

[Grunker]

^ They probably already did. When you talk to devs one thing is recurring no matter what: they all talk about how hard it's gotten to reach the press with Kickstarter-stuff.

Dorito firewall?

It's harder to get people excited when they've already played the game twice as the perception shifted from "OMG! Shadowrun's back! It's gonna be SO AWESOME!!!" to "Hmm... Another Shadowrun game. Well, the first game was shit/letdown/kinda meh/good for what it is/a noble effort/good, but the expansion improved thing so yeah... I'll pick it up on the first Steam sale."

 

[Damned Registrations]

Did TB ever check out DMS/DF when they came out? Would do miracles for the kickstarter if he did a video on Dragonfall in the next couple weeks. I seem to recall him being very favourable towards the X-Com game.

Market overload. Magazines print what people read. Kickstarter isn't news anymore.

So.. where is the newspost about the Codex campaign guys ? What are we waiting for ?

Yeah Angthoron, what are we waiting for?

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

Would pledge to a Codex campaign, fwiw.

[TwinkieGorilla]

Oh. What the heck? Guess I missed seeing that. Anyhoo, pledged.

Cool, I threw a few bucks into the hat.

TB did make a WTF is for DMS, but not for Daggerfall. He was quite happy with the game, though I think his final opinion on the new X-Com wasn't very positive, according to his top 2012 games explaining why it wasn't in there if I recall correctly.

Actually he nominated Dragonfall in his own video games awards for 2014 in the expansions and DLC category. Spoke very highly of it.

By the same token he's stayed away from making videos for kickstarter projects for ages now. Will probably get a tweet out of him before the campaign is over but I would be surprised if a video appears.

 

[Angthoron]

Yeah Angthoron, what are we waiting for?

HBS folks were unavailable over the weekend, but I'm on call with them today, once we talk over some details I'll be able to say what exactly it is that we're waiting for.

Shit, just realised I spent more on shadowrun then on AoD. Will make it right after the GOG release though
