Decline Broken Age - Double Fine's Kickstarter Adventure Game

Full Throttle Enhanced Edition!

 

@JC, you just proved my point.
You are defending Schaefer's lame ass because you are afraid to admit that if Schaefer screwed up, it would also mean that you screwed up by backing him.
I really don't think I am embarrassing myself. I made a mistake in the number updates but at least I didn't throw money at Schaefer to make an adventure game for preschoolers.
And now you are trying to dismiss me with ad hominem attacks because your ego can't handle the fact that Schaefer is a shitty developer and you backed a shitty developer.

 

Broken Age alone? No. But Massive Chalice is right around the corner and it looks pretty good (not by Codex standards obviously), that could do allright.

 

That ship sailed, the game's already on Early Access, plus it 31k copies to Kickstarter Backers.

Going out of EA won't suddenly give it 500k new sales. Not will releasing the second act of Broken Age result in huge sales, since people who bought Act 1 already get it.

 

I would expect another doublefine ks yes. They still got about 1 mil for massive chalice, why wouldn't they?

 

Full Trottel, more like.

 

They are actually making Day of the Tentacle Special Edition or something... I think. I read something about that. So yeah.

 

Yeah, they got the resources from the aborted DotT remake that LucasArts was working on before they shut down.

I'll say - it's never a dull day in the Adventure Game business, is it?

So, DosBox + 4×SaI filter + Steam Achievements?

 

You can't be any more cost effective than this.

 

You can make a KS for a game you won't work on.

DFA are going to publicly release the documentary to try and get sales interest.

 

Hurray, now anyone can hear Tim calling me a jerk.

 

Man, how many times does he have to tell you... "You weren't playing it the right way!!"

 

One day I almost downloaded torrent versions of the documentaries, just to see this part. Since i don't know in which episode it happened, I gave up.

 

Can someone fill me in about felipepepepe calling someone a jerk?

 

I believe the image is posted earlier in the thread. He was (rightly) criticizing the game on Double Fine forums and the documentary had a part in it where Tim was reading the post.

 

Felipe's critique wasn't inflammatory/offensive either; Tim tried to play it off as a joke later.

 

He asked for a partial refund on the forum, Tim Shafer called him a jerk in a video.

He's pretty famous now.

 

On a forum? Twitter?

 

The doublefine forum.

 

It was ridiculous... I made a thread on the backer-only fan feedback sub-forum addressing the devs, asking if I could get a refund. They didn't reply me and instead let their army of drones harass me (should have made a Patreon), with a bunch of guys with thousands of posts acting as if their opinion matter in this, calling me all kind of stuff while the mods turned a blind eye. Yet the mods had plenty of time to lock the thread I made on the Steam forums complaining about how dumb the game's puzzles were.

Then about a week later, when my thread became the most viewed one in the forums, Chris Remo replied me with that retarded logic that they made the game "in good faith", so I had no business asking for a refund. I fucking hate that "they worked pretty hard on this!" logic... as if game developers are the only people that work hard on stuff and so must be respected even if the result is bad. A month later, the documentary episode comes out. The camera shows Tim reading my forum post and going "You're a jerk. Thanks for backing, but you're a jerk". That's some fucking A respect for the customer there. Of course, Tim's hugbox first laughed and called me a jerk as well en masse, then went "oh, he's just joking, he's like that!".

Luckily, karma is a bitch and now everyone is noticing what a failure Double-Fine really is. About 4 years and 5 million dollars later, they still haven't delivered the game, did that douche thing with Spacebase D-9 and are still on business just by milking Tim's past achievements... In the end, not getting a refund was actually a good thing. I'm very curious to see DF upholding their word and sending those special edition boxes. And if they ever deliver, I'm sure I'll be able to sell it to some fanboy for more than they would refund me.

 

Send felipepepe to pull a John Walker/RPS interview on Tim.

Wait... all this time and they still haven't sent out physical rewards? Wow.
