Game News Wasteland 2 Kickstarter Now Live!

[VentilatorOfDoom]

Because all you twits pledging atrocious amounts, I changed mine from 65$ to 165$. But that's it. They better deliver.

 

[Crooked Bee]

no paypal no pledge - simple as that. fuck you kickstarter!

As hiver said, Paypal would block this kind of transactions, alas.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Shit got real, now is our turn to fight the good fight

Codex on it's 10 anniversary went to war, for RPG incline. It's glorious.

 

[Castanova]

Put in my $$$. A professionally-made turn-based party-based RPG? What else can you ask for?

 

[St. Toxic]

Just registered entirely to say how pumped up I am about this. After nigh on a decade of gut-punches delivered by the "RPG" industry this is the first reason for optimism in a long time.

Donated my $100. Hope lots more people do the same.

Ah, just as planned. It's luring all the lurkers out into the open. Soon, master, soon your machine will be complete!

 

[Luzur]

So who's the kid in the video? Fargo Jr.?

Bethesda's CEO

i'll add when salary comes in.

 

[Art Vandelay]

Did my duty,now all we can do is wait!

 

[empi]

I said it in a much nicer way

 

[Stabwound]

Holy shit, someone just did $10,000.

And now Notch did a tweet. Maybe that $5000 (or even the $10,000) was him afterall, like someone said.

 

[Semper]

Or just walk around with a sign: "Blowjobs $10 each. I swallow." to raise the money. Then Fargo could send you a t-shirt that says, "I sucked dick for Wasteland 2".

and send brian the money within an envelope?! yeah, those fuckin' poor us postmen will be happy about it...

As hiver said, Paypal would block this kind of transactions, alas.

ain't that what adaptive payments are for? i will buy some instant credit card shit to pledge. hopefully that works :D

 

[St. Toxic]

Someone really wanted that extra MEDAL.

How many blowjobs did this guy/girl do before donating?

And you raising your pledge is making me want to up mine to $250. :: Moth flies out of wallet ::

Honestly, I think they will deliver. Of course, nothing will make everyone happy -- especially not here -- but if they are not talking out of their ass and do intend to follow up on the kind of game design they are espousing then more power to them. It warms my withered old heart.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

Goddammit I'm supposed to be working and all I've been doing since 9am is spamming the fucking F5 key on the Kickstarter page!

 

[VonVentrue]

I've decided to pledge $65 for now, though I might not resist the temptation of changing it to $115 for the premium boxed edition.

“There was a Fallout 1 and 2?” is sig-worthy.

 

[oldmanpaco]

Did my $115 duty.

 

[sea]

Put down $50 $65. Major brofists to all the crazy people that dropped $1000 or more.

 

[Temaperacl]

In for $500. I'll probably up it a tier or two later in the week.

 

[Takeda Kenshi]

Trying to decide between 250 and 500... might just bite the bullet and go 500. TAKE THAT TODD HOWARD.

 

[Infinitron]

In for $500. I'll probably up it a tier or two later in the week.

Oldfag lurkers coming out of the woodwork to donate. It's like the ending of The Eagle.

 

[Fryjar]

Sorry for cross posting from ITS but here it goes anyway:

I hate to be the doomsayer but at this pace I have my doubts that they will reach the 900k.
These funding schemes are heavily front loaded with a spike at the end. Funding declines exponentially after the first day, and after the third it usually almost stagnates. Looking at the current pace they can be happy to reach 300k after the first 24 hours. Where are the remaining donators supposed to be coming from?

I sure hope I'm wrong but the optimism of some people here is a bit premature.

Edit: All that being said I donated as well.

 

[Azael]

Did my duty.

 

[hiver]

In for $500. I'll probably up it a tier or two later in the week.

 

[bonescraper]

So, the Executive President of Epic Games pledged his 5k.

So, who's next? Todd Howard? Ray Muzyka? Bobby Kotick?

It's all nice and everything, but also fucking ironic.
