Decline Broken Age - Double Fine's Kickstarter Adventure Game

How can they, if the game isn't ready? And they'll wait until the documentary is finished to send the CE box - on their calendar that's "Fall 2015".

 

When I briefly interacted with him at PAX East last year and he stated the Codex wasn't "playing it right" after expressing our disappointment with the puzzles I kind of felt bad after my write-up here. Maybe he had tried to recapture his past glory and make an "old school" adventure for us old "school gamers" but just failed in the execution? I did kind of an ambush him at his signing thing with my critical comments. However, since then he's actually been interviewed and admitted he made the game for his little girl. We were right all along and he never intended to make a game for those who gave him millions. I don't feel bad anymore.

 

And after Part 2 released, you all will see how good the puzzles are, and you have to apologize.

 

So I bit the bullet and started this game finally (backed on kickstarter). I was gonna wait till they release the second part but what the hell, might as well get the first part out of the way, since the second part isn't too far away now.

And this game is shit. Played an hour, but I just can't continue. The "puzzles" are way too easy and they're spread thin, the art style doesn't really appeal to me and I feel like I'm watching a movie with the constant cutscenes, not playing a game. The humor is... meh. I just can't see myself enjoying this.

I'm just gonna drop this. 15 bucks into the trash..

 

I dislike Tim Schafer and his fanboys more and more every day.

I guess the only way I will play Grim Fandango is from a humble bundle with all given to charity.

 

Yeah, 'A whole bunch of awesome PUZZLES', my ass. That's consumer fraud, is what it is!:S

 

There's more than one way to play the game?

 

Of course: the right way and the wrong way!

 

Nah, it'll definitely get released eventually. DF can't afford to fuck that up. Whether it's going to be any different and/or better than part 1 - that's a different matter altogether.

I do wonder if it's even possible for this game to achieve profitability at this stage. The initial budget must've, what, tripled by now?

 

Playing it with a little girl makes a world of difference

 

GOG selling the entire game for €7.59.

LOL.

So the people who didn't back it can get it for a much better price than the people who did before it is even finished.

 

They always could... it's called piracy.

 

Every game will be discounted eventually, so people can get it cheaper than the original price. Duhh...

 

Usually they wait until after the game is released...

 

Meh, the game is on GOG, Steam, so they can discount it whenever they want.

 

Just because they can doesn't mean that they should.
Either way I personally don't give a shit what this shit studio does - pirating their shit games is the way to go.

Fuck Tim Shiter.

 

Why would you pirate a shit game?

 

So I could know that it's shit.

 

Oh, the hypocrisy, people bashing Tim's game to hell and back, but will play it anyway. You guys sure like to play shit games. "oh, I'm just playing so I know if it is shit" Meanwhile with all the reviews, second hand experience and youtube vidoes, people know exactly what the game is like.

 

Maybe he didn't know it was shit before he played.

 

Then they're fucking stupid. When you just hear "mismanagement", that should be a big fucking red flag that the is going to be shit.
