Wasteland 2 Kickstarter (Possibly featuring some Obsidian de : Othor Games

» Tue May 15, 2012 10:52 am

We aren't allowed to discuss the merits or demerits of this game, this distribution model, nothing? Is gathering donations the only purpose of the thread? Wouldn't that count as advertising, then?

Of course we are allowed to. I do not recall where I implied otherwise. All views of importance are valuable, but I was saying I do not approve some views to be constructive enough.

No you're not. That's true. But what are you doing in this thread, if not trying to do harm for it, if you're not pledging. I mean, this is not your ordinay Beth game where everyone is to give their pledges and then go away to hope for something special. This is a Kickstarter game, where people come to give pledges to stuff they want to see.

I don't have money to pledge at the moment, but I might want to buy it. I'm hanging around hoping to see what it'd be about, what the details would be. I see no point in having TWO threads, one for advertising donations, the other about the game. So I'm hanging around here hoping to get a peak at its content. :laugh:

That's a perfectly fine stance to have. Why didn't you say so the first time you applied to this thread?

I really like this project and I would pledge, but I'm not exactly in the best financial state so I'll have to buy it when it comes out. I'm a sad panda, I've been waiting a very long time for this.

Because I don't always make coherency until about somewhere midway into my involvement in things. :spotted owl:

You have the undecaf syndrome, for sure, but you should still try to think about what you're doing. A bit more than I do. :lol:

And not cause drama? Good sir, I shant think that a marvelous idea. Continue to tell me to use.....coherency (Such a filthy word), and it will be pistols at dawn! GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR!

But, hey, your drama is overacting. Which we, as a community of cultured people, cannot accept. You must do better to be in our cultivated group of philantropists.

Good sir, I do declare, if you will not recant this poppycock accusations of my unculturedness, I'll forget to bring the tea and scones to the next meal, oh yes! THAT will show you good sir! I WILL NOT BE A MAN TO BE MESSED WITH!

I doubt it would be as super fancy as some other modern games, but I don't think that graphics are the point here anyway.

I haven't played the first Wasteland, but I'm keeping an open-mind about the sequel. If it turns out really good storyline and depth-wise, graphics won't even factor into my decision to buy.

I'm talking more about the graphical part that helps gameplay. Like Resolution, Letters (As in "using a typeface that let me easily read what's written". A lot of old games had extremely "bad-to-read" letters), Visual Fidelity (Less Pixels, More Image) and so on...

No need for fancy graphics. ;D

Ok, I'm about to pledge $50, and there's a new parenthesis asking to add $15 for international shipping. However, after going through Amazon, it's only asking for $50. Shouldn't it ask for $65?

I suppose it's one of those fine print things, since on your end it'd be saying '65 dollars', even if 15 of it goes to shipping and not the project.

We're not likely to see anything for quite a while other than artwork. We won't know anything beyond that for maybe 6-8 months before screen shots or rudimentary gameplay videos will start appearing.

Add the $15 to make it $65. All the prices are for domestic US shipping. There is an international packa for $55 that you don't have to add shipping because it's all digital.

Exactly. Most of the work on the project isn't going to even start until the Kickstarter ends, because until it ends they have no access to the money so all developers/artists/whatever would have to be paid with Inxile's own cash reserve.

I see. Alright then. Ima have another gamebox baby.

» Tue May 15, 2012 8:24 am

Didn't know that I had to manually change the amount. First pledged $50, then I pledged $65. I hope I'm charged for $65 not $115 or I'll be mightily pissed off!

I wonder if the VAT charge will be included...or if I'll have to pay more (these extra necessary costs which are not related to the game annoy me

).

I just found out about this yesterday! (curse you school and family!) I am so freaking excited!!! I hope I'll actually be able to play it :banana:

This is betterr than any announcement for Fallout 4.

I pledged $65 just the other day, i also bought a lottery ticket on the off chance i'd win a few million and be able to invest a couple of thousand into being a character in the game. Shame that masterplan didn't work out.

I really do need to get my hands on a working copy of the original.
