Anyway. Economically, there's really no way back from such an awful launch.
Yup. It's already out of Top 10 sellers and it's been what, 5 hours?
It's dead Jim.

But there's always a weird dynamic with these Kickstarter games where people bitch about weirdest shit that has little to none corelation with actual quality of the product. Box got damaged in the shipping, cat ate my homework, developer liked a Trump tweet, 0/10 worst game ever, 0.1 hours played.
I assume all games have stuff like this but with certain Kickstarted game the problem seems worse, because:
1) There aren't enough other reviews drowning that stuff out, because you're not an AAA.
2) You're not an indie either, so people are more aggressive with nitpicking you. This wouldn't happen to Jeff Vogel.
The "middle class game" gets squeezed out of the market in all sorts of ways. This is just another.
I don't think it's any of that, honestly. It's the public nature of development. AAA guys work on stuff in secret for 3 years and the first thing you see is a pimped out trailer with Holywood style montage and Patrick Stewart voiceover. Kickstarter guys on the other hand are under 24/7 scrutiny, there's always various camps in the fanbase fighting for this and that, and it just snowballs.
Come on, do you actually believe this?
Hey Infinitron ,what was the last RPG you finished? Didn't knew that you played games.Come on, do you actually believe this?innovative mechanics
Did you think that mfkdngrlgf is shilling or not? Because Infinitron's opinions are just as outrageous as that guy.I was reading the reviews while downloading the game. Stopped reading, deleted the torrent. GG WP.
Is Infinitron shilling for it or not? Just curious.
Sounds like they're tearing their butts off at inXile HQ
or 10 seconds with SSD.The loading times make me want to hang myself. Pretty sure it took like 10 minutes to load the level after chargen, and I'm not exaggerating.

Game looks like garbage though.
FWIW, based on my beta experience, combat is good and fun, it's just nothing like the classics. Party building is disappointing at first, may get interesting mid-late game with skill trees, I don't know. (The classics of course had lots of party building options up front ... and then that was it, you just ground up your numbers over time.) Loot and itemization are good, I found myself interested in what my doods equipped.Damn, sounds like these guys are working really hard to bury the renaissance of crpgs ten feet deep. Stuff I'm reading about character/party building, combat and loot (three most important things in crpgs) gives the impression of total shit.
What? Did they not fix the tunnel vision FOV?
Wouldn't a bigger FoV tank performance even more? Maybe this was deliberate to make the game runnable.
Maybe. I had no performance issues in beta but the lack of FOV was annoying.That would result in even lower fps
FOV slider is important. The beta had a slight feeling of watching the whole thing through a telescope. Maybe not a gamebreaker but it is a thing for sure.People give negative Steam reviews bc their boxed copies came in damaged or bc of a missing FOV slider. Everyone who thinks Steam ranking has any value or weight whatsoever should apply for a brain cell replacement therapy.
This is how they gated content. Instead of having "there's another locked door here" they have unwinnable fights. Like the guys inspecting the courtyard, that's how you know you're not supposed to go there yet. Come back later and they won't be there any more. Check around in some of the places you saw dragons before, they may be gone now.I'm a bit confused. I did all the quests I got and gathered my first party member - but literally every combat encounter after that is too high (as in "red") for my party level? Why?
