Community Let's raise $5,000 for Dead State.

[Jaesun]

As much as Elhoim is hotter than the FLAMES OF HELL, that just seems kinda silly.

 

[hiver]

Ill pay 200 for it not to happen.

 

[CrimsonAngel]

There i put 25$ towards the Kickstarter for now.

A Rpgcodex comic store location is LAME. It ruins my Inmeshun.

 

[Havoc]

I don't like zombie games... but here's my 15$.

this has got to be the slowest codex fundraiser ever...

They have nothing to believe in, after what Vince did. How can we expect them to be willing to donate after such an exceptional troll as AoD?

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

Clearly this is all my fault. Vincent Price cannot hope to defeat the masterful manipulation Lord Militant Ess Vee has instilled upon the populace of Imperial planet Codexium. And soon? Soon the hordes of Tzeentch will swarm all over this wretched place and I shall be rewarded!!!

 

[Ulminati]

Fucking this.
Everyone who bought Decline 3 and will not put at least equal amount of money for Dead State should have his brofisting privileges revoked. Anyone who has positive decline footprint is a scum, not a bro.

Don't worry bro. i'm gonna give dead state EXACTLY AS MUCH CASH as I did Diablows 3!

Wasteland 2 offered a product I wanted. If someone - anyone - wants me to care about a game with zombies they need to invent a time machine and pitch it to me sometime before 2008-2009 or thereabouts. I wasn't terribly excited about zombie sot begin with and the recent zombie had has only increased the ennui I feel when something moans "brainsss"

 

[DarkUnderlord]

$707. We have reached in-game poster level.

Zombies are so overdone these days man. they turned a game that evoked in me nothing but ennui into a game I actively oppose.

If they cut out the zombies I still wouldn't pay money for it, but neither would I let the world know I'm not interested in it. I'm not sayin git's a bad game. Just a game I have zero interest in.

 

[Haba]

Oh well, at least I tried.

Firstly, it's hardly overdone from a 'proper' perspective (i.e. proper survival fixture). Unless you'd call Dead Island and its ilk survival-games.

Second, what damn do you give? I don't care for zombies. I didn't care for zombies when the wave started, and don't now. As far as I'm concerned it's a contrived, arbitrarily unrealistic way of telling a story that could be told within a realistic framework. Fuck zombies, in other words. I do however like party-based RPGs, base-management and survival games. And I'd pay good money for any RPG with any kind of depth these days. So why the fuck would I get me knickers in a bunch over the fact that the setting is not exactly my favourite?

I dunno, maybe I'm white-knighting this shit. It's just that the Codex usually has better arguments against a game than screaming 'teh graffix' or 'teh story'.

 

[Tigranes]

It is, as far as zombie / infection / apocalypse stories go, terribly unimaginative, though. It may be different in the game, but in all the pre-release info thus far it seems like they themselves treat the setting as a stock foil. Fallout's post-apocalypse could be equally uninteresting, but they paid a lot of attention to things like the 1950's carried forward, the chronology, etc, etc. Seems like here, the developers themselves are telling you, don't worry that much about the zombies, it's about the NPC management, people, survival. The thing is, wouldn't those things be a lot more poignant, emotive, interesting, having tension, etc. if the setting tried?

I gave $15 for the main kickstarter, but only reluctantly. That's as far as I'll go.

The whiteknight-o-meter registers you at 8.3 DeciHivers at this point. Take a chill pill bro. Even ignoring the zombies the previews didn't strike me as paticularily interesting. Like tigranes said, even the developers seem to treat the setting as something that's just there. If the devs themselves don't seem to care for the setting their game is in, why should I?

And I thought I was a storyfag.

 

[RK47]

O_o say what u will, even though I kinda feel this won't be that great - I'm still curious at how it'll turn out in execution.

 

[Ulminati]

And I thought I was a storyfag.

Hey, an RPG without a decent story is indistinguishable from a really, really bad strategy game.

Time for bedtime story.

 

[Ulminati]

Sorry. Indistinguishable from a really bad strategy game-slash-corridor shooter. Forgot you played mass effect.

The only thing this game has going for it is that the developers post on the codex. That's not really a compelling argument to give them money that could otherwise go towards beer.

 

[CrimsonAngel]

Give money to this dam project or i will fucking cut you.

No, I have to buy cake for my princess.

Which crap have you watched/played that had zombies and made you saturated?
