Their funds are going to dry up and the game will be something any competent studio could have done in half the time and a tenth of the budget.

I want it to be good. We need a good space game, we really do. But the writing on the wall is a neon sign at this point.

>>387579939
im getting the impression you really dont think they can complete it
nobody else is willing to undertake a project of this size, hell they even developed their own tools for it too
also finances is not a problem, they are too big to fail and if it comes down to it they will just sell merch which they needs to get on track since we was promised HOTAS systems

i can tell you the game will be great, but it does a long freaking time for it to reach that point
TLDR; take a seat motherfucker

They absolutely will complete it. They'll just repeatedly dial back the requirements, as they have already.

Are you having a laugh mate?

But I don't mind waiting if that means the game is better. I will wait 10 or even 20 years if that's make the game better :^) Everyone knows the longer it takes the better the game is, look at FFXV :^)

Also I don't mind the fact that they had to completely trash and remake the fps module because they picked some incompetent -but cheap- company to make it.

Also I don't mind the fact that it takes more time because they picked the worst engine possible for this type of game But probably the best engine when it comes to making great looking kickstarter trailers with 4 assets, also very useful engine when you need an excuse for your game taking too long to make

It's fine, I truly believe these guys know what they're doing. Real professionals.
:^)

the money is actually being spent to convert their office space into an actual functional spaceship

>>387580497
in all seriousness has there ever been a game stuck in development hell turn out good?

>>387580376

Why even live.

>>387580326
>They absolutely will complete it. They'll just repeatedly dial back the requirements, as they have already.
they try to reduce the size in order to get the game out faster, hell without that kind of thinking we would not have seen arena commander so soon
its funny really, on one side we see feature creep but on the other delays of content

>Are you having a laugh mate?
im havin a feckin giggle m8
jokes aside, they provide many jobs and someone will buy them out if things turn sour

>>387580578
they need to mocap an actual spaceship first

and a horse, because why not

>>387579324
I make >200k a year after bonus and the most I've ever spent on a game is $60.

Come at me, bro.

jesus, how long ago was the kickstarter

>>387580632
FFXV is good. Not amazing but it's way better than XIII or even X.

>>387580661
>they provide many jobs
The backers are providing the jobs as they are the ones financing this thing
>>387580770
2012 I think

>>387580774
Better than shit doesn't make it good though

>>387579402
No Man's Sky has come and gone
and the fools are still defending that all these fucking promises will be delivered

>>387580661
It's understandable to worry, then, I hope you understand. They suffer from feature creep and over-perfection, which then results in important features getting cut from the game. Over and over. The game that people receive won't be the ones they donated to.
>someone will buy them out
And shove whatever they have out the door in a rush, because they know it's a money black hole. It won't make the kickstarter funds back, that's for sure, but it'll be profitable for the future buyers.

>>387580795

ultrakek

>>387580813
But unlike XIII, it's actually good. There's gameplay, for one. Also, no Vanille or Hope.

>>387580680
Never paid for DLC before huh?

>>387580774
it's not.
XV has a lot in common with XIII
>it gets good after 30 hours, or in XV's case, the first 30 hours
>people love talking about the part where the game opens up, but the real focus on the story and characters happens in linear sequences
>stats boil down to HP / STR / DEF
>everyone shills the combat's complexity and posting crazy ass webms of endgame bosses yet you'll spend 90% of the game using one button

>>387581085
not him but DLC is why I don't play games on release anymore

>pay 60 + additional 30 of ''content''
>or wait a year and get it all packed for half price

not hard desu

>>387581085
>>387581123
Waiting is really easy to do if you're busy with work and have a backlog.

Also, I used to buy expansion packs back in the day. Like WC3 TFT if that counts.

>>387580795
>The backers are providing the jobs as they are the ones financing this thing
money dont create jobs just be being there, again this is creating jobs

actually the game is closer to what was originally promised now and a good portion of systems works, with the 3.0 update you can now fly big ships with buddies in a meaningful way rather than just having them be passengers

>And shove whatever they have out the door in a rush, because they know it's a money black hole. It won't make the kickstarter funds back, that's for sure, but it'll be profitable for the future buyers.
IF that happens, look they got a ton of money to make this project happen and if they try to run away with the money the fans will get pitchforks and torches, in other words the chances of this project failing is pretty slim

>>387579324
he spent 30k on the promise of a video game.

>>387581286
exactly. I still have games 10+ year old in my backlog

>>387581286
> Waiting is really easy to do if you're busy with work and have a backlog

Considering how old the industry is, anyone who isn't a retarded kid has a backlog. You can be NEET all you want, but even in years you won't be able to play everything out there.

>>387580376

Wow it's fucking nothing

>>387579402
Remember that Roberts never said this and this sprung from a mistranslation from an interview which was done with a foreign publication.

>>387579402
I love how they put a scripted sand worm at the end of their demo just because it's the tried and true formula for generating hype, and apparently nobody learned from NMS.

>>387581361
>if they try to run away with the money
They won't try to do that. I know a lot of people say "scam", but it's no scam. It's a genuine project, run by a bunch of passionate perfectionists.

I've said it before, I'll say it again, and you're all free to screencap it:

If this turns out to be a scam, I will personally track Chris Roberts down and get the money I pledged out his ass.

>>387582171
The game is convoluted scam in this way it's hard to prove it's not a scam. Chris Roberts is painfully unaware of his own unprofessionalism and he's pathological liar. This combination creates impossible situation in which he doesn't necessarily realize the bullshit he's spewing out. But I wouldn't be surprised to see they were laundering money or transfering that to somewhere else. It smells burned by now. And now they are working on "specific demo" for Gamescom. Not full game, not patch but a fucking demo. People are paying for .jpg ships and demo presentations along with youtube videos.

>>387582374
I know. It looks more and more like I'm going to be paying him a visit as time passes.

What the hell are you doing, m8? McDonalds?

>>387582171
Define scam.
Because what roberts is doing is promising the moon to idiots who then pay him exorbitant amounts of money. He continues to do this, while making excuses for why the game misses every deadline, and has convinced his whales so effectively they look like creepy cultists to everyone not in the loop.
He will continue to string his whales along until right before they start legal action, then release whatever they managed to code in between the cocaine parties and boats and call it finished.

It's either a scam or incompetence and over-promising, neither is very encouraging.

>>387582824
Filthy, dumb, spoiled scum. Most people in the first world earn that much. Sometimes even less if the country has huge taxes.

>>387582645
And didn't they sub-contract the Friday the 13th devs for the ground combat? That's just asking for trouble.

>>387579259

It's always his face that gets me. I don't know who the man on the right is, but i can see in his eyes the telltale glimmer of disbelief aimed squarely at the expense of the man to the left. It's concealed only by a clear self imposed constraining of the need to pinch his chubby Jewish cheeks to see if he's dreaming.

Is he dreaming? Is this fat, balding asshole wearing a heavily worn Rush shirt, posing for this fucking picture, a real person?

His eyesbrows say "Yes, i believe he is."

>>387582928
They really don't. Maybe you should reevaluate your life choices

>>387579324

I'm lucky to make 10k a year, I don't understand how you can't live on 30k a year.

What happens if they decide to stop development and take all the money just like that? Can people actually go after them?

>>387586183
I can live on it, but I'm not going to fucking spend it all on pixels on a screen

no doubt kids of rich mafia guys/arab oils barons ended up falling for the scam so when it inevitably happens they'll no doubt end up being tracked down by hit squads
