    On the contrary, I do want to be a loser in Shadowrun, because that's how most cyberpunk protagonists are portrayed, from Case to Deckard to Nero.Let Frodo save the world. When I play Shadow I just want to save my next month rent and food.

    Actually, lots of backers mention the Genesis game and ask for its open world elements in the new games. In fact this was a constant through all three games developments..

    So, they really don't mind Dragonfall being the way it is because they just gave HBS 1.2 million dollars to keep them making Dragonfall style campaigns for 2015.

    If you'd actually bother to do a minimum of research you'd know we already have that:

    You are just a complaining lazy bum who is completely ignorant what SRR really can offer.

    Considerating that they pretty much said they didn't need more money after the 1 million dollars and they ended with 1.2 million anyway, you cleary see that kickstarter fatigue is a real thing isn't guise?:lol:

    Also they had way less physical rewards available this time so I'd imagine they will actually get their hands on a much larger share of that 1.2 million compared to their first KS. I remember reading them saying that about 1/3rd of the 1.9 million was actually spend on KS related fees and manufacturing the physical backer rewards.

    Now let us see how far i'm off. The 360k is a false number, because i had to go to sleep or something like that. So the correct numbers are from Kicktraq, and this are the first two days.
    267945 + 134007 = 401952.
    401952 x 3 = 1205856.
    1204696 / 1205856 = 99.904% of prediction accuracy. (not real forecast accuracy, only the difference between the numbers, but basically it is the same) WAPE=-9.6289e-4
    But even with the 360k this is 89.649% of prediction accuracy. (not real forecast accuracy, only the difference between the numbers, but basically it is the same) WAPE=0,103508
    Still better than the weather report.

    Yes i'm a fucking arrogant asshole, that has always prove to other people how good he is, or a mathematics autist. The interpretation from this, i will leave to you all.

    Kickstarter needs always projects that heat up the kickstarter. And Shadowrun is a good supporting act (Vorband in german), for things to come.

    It's good to know that Dragonfall allowed them to regain their creed. I thought that their reputation will be irreparable after the letdown that was Shadowrun Returns. Especially since Dragonfall wasn't that well known.

    Sykar, I've actually played Shadowrun Unlimited to the end of its "campaign". While its a fair attempt at providing the kind of dynamic and open -ended environment we are talking about, it ends up falling short due to the engine limitations. Did it get better with Dragonfall ?

    Clockwork Knight, I want to be able to fuck chicks like in Fallout and Arcanum, not love and romance like that crap we see in bioware games.

    Nice pics. Is the the engine receiving a facelift to look grittier / less cartoony ?

    (question is honest)

    They say mid year 2015, and the estimated delivery on the $15 is August. Seems a little hopeful to me.
