Competition Codexian Wasteland 2 Location + Statue Fund-Raising Drive

[laclongquan]

You think?

Those 'orrible, orrible romances of recent games are from the result of paying too much attention to horny idiotic gamers out there.

Hey I just noticed that MCA is in the updated donor's list

Even J_C Matt Brandon donated

 

[Kingston]

Taluntain ran off with the jewgolds.

 

[Outlander]

This is the beginning of a new era in gaming where the developer gets to work directly with the fans to build the type of product that the fans want.

Somehow, I have this feeling that this is going to end badly...

The Wasteland 2 board is already a fucking disgrace, with assholes proposing romances, auto regen health, NPCs getting KO instead of permanently dead, no swearing in the dialog, full voice acting and assorted bullshit.

And they're not trolling... we should take the fight to them!

 

[DwarvenFood]

PM sent. Not in a particular hurry to get a response, but it'd be nice to know if the money actually reached you and wasn't intercepted by a destitute Nigerian Prince.

The one does not exclude the other.

7 trolls for MCA to draw already.

Tell me about it. Check the "Must Include List" section, at this very moment, the top 3 threads are:
"Characters should KO, not die"
"Marriage, Owning A House, Maybe?"
"LGBTQ Characters"

 

[GarfunkeL]

Bah, they already deleted my thread "Say no to romances". At least my posts in other threads are still there.

They probably just merged that thread into another thread on the same topic. I've seen that happen more than once.

Sweet jesus. What is that?! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?!

Romances, house decorating, no swearing, KO'd enemies? D:

I don't know where that thread currently is, but In the original poster's defence, they seemed to just be bad at phrasing and fully expanding their ideas - If you believe their follow-up posts, they were not asking for a "characters don't actually die" system where people stand up right after combat, just asking for a systen like the original's where you don't go from completely functional->dead but rather have an intermediate UNC state (And various wounded states before death) in between.

Not that I disagree with the assesment of the board as a whole - I just feel that poorly written posts like that, while undesirable, should not necessarily be lumped with some of the other junk that is being posted there.

I just think Brian Fargo should ignore the fan feedback almost entirely. "Design by committee turns out shitty", I read that somewhere and it holds true. Might've been here, even. Go look at the Bethesda mod sites and come back and tell me it's a good idea to listen to the internet, if you haven't already gouged your eyes out or lobotomized yourself in sheer horror.

Yeah, I agree. At first I thought "What a cool thing, man. Just like the old days where developers got involved with the fans!" and now looking at that board I sincerely hope they're not paying attention. Fucksake.

I did join, my screen name over there is 'Madball357'

And no, I didn't get my status changed yet, but I don't really care.

EDIT: that falloutgod whatever dude is a faggot.

Nah, let those morons occupy the W2 forums thinking they are listened to, and just convince Brian and rest of the InXile team to come here. This way everybody wins.

Yeah, like fargo was born yesterday... hmpf...

chill the fuck out and stop panicking.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Reading "The Codex" on credits would be nice, reading a list of codexer not so.
Or hell, they may list all 20k backers and prove me wrong!

Heh, yeah. After the Krys Peyson incident, it would also be a practical benefit

But I would make this option turn on/off in game settings menu. Because games must be done for all people, but not only for hardcore players.

Why do You refuse people in right of choice? Will it bother You when someone is seeing quest compass when You are not?

I agree! Movies too! That's why horror movies should have cute critters and not be too scary so children can also watch them! Drama shouldn't be too hampered by sad stuff, what about all the people out there who just want to enjoy a good laugh? Action movies should have segments where the hero and the girl discuss their relationship, plans for having children, and their mortgage. So housewives can also join the fun!

Game developers should listen to other game developers only. Fargo's got a good team on board already. If he can speak to Avellone, Boyarsky, Cain and other people affiliated with Fallout and good RPGs then that's good. But no suggestions on game design from people with no qualifications.

I'd say Fargo needs to listen to himself, and I'm fairly certain he will. I don't expect any serious compromises because of some morons on the W2 forums who want a game with waifus and regenerating health

 

[Charles-cgr]

He's been pondering and planning this for 20+ years. I doubt a couple dozen nutjobs will sway him. I'm wary, but optimistic.

 

[Crooked Bee]

I'm pretty sure Fargo's "the fans will decide" is mainly a marketing move anyway.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

That was a good post but:

I wouldn't want someone to look at the wasteland 2 forums and decide not to contribute to the kickstarter because of the way some retards are acting.

Come on. Let's not be maudlin.

 

[Crooked Bee]

If someone could confirm the 'unofficial' statement by Mr. Avellone I would be more than happy to donate.

This is now 100% official: MCA himself will draw a personal troll for whoever donates >$250 as long as the Codex donation campaign runs! Final confirmation received now.

Now you can donate towards Wasteland 2 itself, RPGCodex thingie in there (whatever it might end up being) AND a personal troll at the same time!

He already has 7 trolls to draw, by the way.

 

[Takeda Kenshi]

Here's a massive, epic headed MCA's way.
