Thats the problem but the devs should be more open and reach out to the fans too, even just a kickstarter update so that they know whats going on.

I dont think the DLCs are handled as badly as before as a lot of the DLCs has been focusing on mainly adding lots of content, such as DLCs from games like Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Dishonored, Crusader King 2 and even Battlefield 3 to the point, some DLCs are essential to enjoy the game. These DLCs add a tonne of content to the price to pay and I dont see whats wrong of paying up for it if you are enjoying the game.

Limit Theory, Project CARS and Distance say hi.







And these games are all still pre-alpha where the graphics will be continued to be improved as time goes by. The most amazing fact is Limit Theory is made by one Stanford computer science student without using any existing engines or codes.

Limit Theory also have a very good update system, as he posts graphical updates each month as any backend improvements wont be easy to show on videos.

I think quite a few projects are pretty good at updates, like Battle Worlds and PA. Just that Nekro, Distance and Grim Dawn is kinda sucky on it.

The problem is, not everyone check the forums.

I really cant keep up to 10+ projects i had pledged.

I only got one released, Strike Suit Zero and it sucked.

I pledged a lot as i think, i rather put money to let indies have a shot to make something truly theirs, than buying more AAA games.

Its true that its easier to update on forums but it quite impossible to check each of them to be honest.

SSZ's problem is pacing, difficulty and checkpoints as it is done terribly to the point that i dont even want to continue it.

Borderlands 2, I think i dont give a crap about it anymore, as UVHM is just unfun to play solo as it felt like Gearbox trying to force people to play coop considering they have been giving more and more raid bosses in their DLCs, which I also dont want. Still, i enjoyed my time there, so its time to move on.

Eternity and Star Citizen are quite good at keeping people up to date, but most of my other projects arent so good. There is always a chance of failure though, regardless of size of the project.

Keep them as you have tonnes of games anyway and price will go down sooner or later. Unless you want it now.

I got $30+ in my Steam wallet and im keeping them for Winter sales.

IMO, buying a game or DLC early is just like paying more for early access. Nothing wrong with that if you really want to play it now and they arent forcing you to buy early, if not just wait for years till the GOTY version is $2.50.

Considering that i gave up on any sort of multiplayer game, except its asynchronous multiplayer that some of the upcoming TBS has, I pretty much only play for SP so i only buy on release on the basis that i think the game has potential.

It's nice when devs give you the option to upgrade your existing copy cheaply or give you an additional but i dont think every developers entitled to do that which is why i still kept buying all the Civ V expansions despite i didnt even play them because Firaxis are a bunch of nice guys who genuinely cares about making fun games. Personally, I am alright with it as the entire DLC practise isnt as ridiculous as the whole IAP business model in mobile games. I only buy DLCs on sales anyway, as it is cheap enough to justify the cost.

I rather have one Steam account and lose multiple copies of the same game as at the end, you only need one copy of the same game. And its quite annoying to see people owning multiple accounts when you want to talk to them, you have to go through multiple dup accounts to find the same person. I know a guy who separates his Steam account based on genre and its damn annoying to find him in the friends list.

Dont think i'll pledge any of them, doesnt look very interesting to me and I dont know who are the devs. Im actually a bit scared of developers that never shipped a project before, unless they have amazing talent like the LT guy or a project that is quite far in the development.

I had used up my money for Warmachine too.

It's like all the Venomancers trying to give each other antidote while trying to poison the newbies.

Well, thats why i still buy Firaxis's stuff and even their mobile games are actually decent. Will buy Brave New Worlds when its $7.50.

Then, dunno what happened to him and disappeared from Steam.

So, i just removed him. He was quite extreme with it for some reasons.

More like Venomancers are immune to their own poisons cause they have it d.

Space Hulk isnt a kickstarter project.

They fund the game themselves.

Space Hulk is an actual board game from Warhammer 40k universe. It is supposed to be about a bunch of Terminators infiltrating a abandoned ancient ship.

The game is just an adaptation of the board game as a video game.

The problem with Star Citizen is, i felt like they still felt like all light show, not much substance at the moment because there arent any alpha builds available to the community or any actual gameplay footage.

A kickstarter project is just like any endeavors in life, as it will never be a smooth sail from the start to the end. Some will made it to the finish line while some will give up half way. I know that Broken Age having issues with their funding, it might be just a rough patch for them but i'll still think its worth risking with some disposable income that you dont mind getting nothing in return. Only if you liked their idea they pitched to you. Tim Shafer is really bad at managing their finance though.

If an idea is good, i'll still try my best to back it as i think it is better to let the indies to have their chance to develop something they truly own it themselves.

However, i really think the kickstarter model is really flawed in many ways.

Just my 2 cents.

Thats true, an idea that sounds great on paper, might not be as good in the final game.

It definitely a good idea to be cautious about kickstarters as it isnt something that anyone should throw money at it when you see it.

Worth preorder if you dont have any of the XCOM games yet.

Great, my PC is screwed up by the latest antivirus update.

Now, i cant even boot to Windows anymore.

No, Avira. Dunno is it Avira cause after restoring to last known restore point also cant boot.

Now, i cant never boot into windows at all. Safe Mode or anything also crash the system. chkdsk seemed ok but when i try running the PC with one stick of RAM, the PC cant even get pass POST while 2 sticks can. RAM's dead?

Found the problem, its because the other RAM stick is in Slot 2. You need a RAM in Slot 1 or 3 to start the PC. Probably not RAM problem now but i think Avira f***s up my entire system with yesterday's update. Firstly, cant connect to internet then now, cant even boot at all.

Windows 7 actually, not 8 yet.

Getting really strange errors in Bsod like BAD POOL HEADER.

Looks like it has come down to that.

My work stuff is inside and im gonna lose my past few day's work.
