I have to say I'm a bit dissapointed about using 3D, the graphics doesn't look that good. I'm sure they will improve on this, but it still won't look as good as the pre-rendered backgrounds (ala TLJ). I hope the story and puzzles will make up for it. I also have a feeling that they won't gather as much money as I have anticipated. In the beginning I expected 3-3,5 million, but now I think they will be around 2-2,5 million.

Maybe it's just me, but it feels to me that they don't understand that they have to cater to the oldschool gamers if they want the big money. The newfags won't cough up millions for an average looking P&C adventure game. The game should be like TLJ, only with higher resolution textures.

That said, I will still support them, but only with the minimal ammount which yields me a game.

I still like Dreamfall more than TLJ (as I've already stated here, trying to list my all-time fav Adventures), so I'm perfectly fine with this :P
I don't think they would've gotten more money if they wanted to make a game more similar to the first one either.

I don't think they're going to reach anywhere over $2 million though. Possibly $1.5 million.

Maybe if they did the Kickstarter "when it was still hot" right after Double Fine and Project Eternity, but as of now I don't think they will exceed 1.5 million.

Exactly. They'd get more money and acknowledgement this way, instead they try to cater to the mases. I hate this false assumption that casual/popamole sells more than hardcore/oldschool. Why are some people so blind?

Some people have realized this, which is good, like Wasteland 2, which made the most of its situation. Imagine how much money would have a first person Wasteland 2 made?

Had promised myself to restrain from posting but, Seriously I thought the codex was more manly than that.


That Main character whore female looks like a mix between this :

I can't believe people would find that epitome of emo crap appealing. She looks like the perfect role model for young leftard teen girl in angst.

Trying too hard with this bullshit. The game could have many problems, but the work in progress modell of the character is not one of them. And fuck you for bringing up this emo bullshit. Do you know what emo means at all?

Even better question is why couldn't you have restrained yourself from registering? We already have enough people offering your brand of valuable perspective on things.

Oh look, another random new shitposter to ignore. Stick to GD Akarnir, it's probably more your speed.

After a lot of consideration (loved TLJ, hated Dreamfall), I've decided to pass on this and maybe give it a try once it's released if the consensus is positive. I'm almost categorically opposed to real-time 3d in adventure games (pretty awful every time it's been tried), and I don't see any particular reason that this should buck the trend.

So codex is full of repressed tranies. I don't see how any grown men could find such a cliche character likable. She's just like the rebel teen goodie goodie two shoes.

Prove me wrong faggots. Is there any instance where she's something else than a cheesy problem solver, trying to bring peace love and acceptance to the world ? That's why I compared her to the 2 pictures. Pure faggotery.

Well, he's right, though. That character looks horrendous and irritating. Only J_C could like that shit.

If you would have played TLJ or Dreamfall, you would know that those stories are not about bringing peace love and acceptance to the world. It probably won't be different in this game either.

Oh come on now. That 's just an average woman modell. There is nothing wrong or good about it. The game could have problems, but this ain't one.

I did played a bit of those games. Gameplay was fine, story was too cheesy. I like to play as authentic guys (=assholes), so that limits my field when it comes to story games. And now prove me wrong, that this little cunt, isn't the irritating goodie heroine, who isn't capable to do anything else than helping kindness prevail (unless she suffers a breakdown due to her weak mind), and promoting her weak ass vision of the world = everybodee happeee, perfect comunion with each other, Harmony Harmony aaaaaah.

I think we can reach a compromise: the model looks like shit and Akarnir is a dumbfuck.

There you go.
