It's very sad to see this - actually a total shame. People supported this Yogscast (and frankly I never heard of them before...maybe because I never played mindcraft) in faith of them producing a video game - third party or not, they promised a game.
I remember in one video what Brian Fargo states about Kickstarter - he stated that yeah there will be sour grapes around however it's still a great platform. Well I'm starting to beg the differ as I supported about 20 projects there and most I paid a lot of cash only to realise I'm getting ripped off. Ironically, the ones I'm on the fence are the ones that actually turned out well.
Now my biggest burn was Legend of Dawn - a proud backer of $174 dollars. Well this <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/522716131/legends-of-dawn/comments" target="_blank">forum</a> says it all.
Granted some actually delivered (Divinity: Original Sin) and Larian Studios LLC are known to deliver and their community support is brilliant.
Yet, and sadly now, Kickstarter burned me with shoddy players - yes there are shoddy players everywhere however I'll be staying away from that platform for quite some time.
@waxcriminal @quakke @Azghouls Let me give you an example - Bulletstorm, despite its flaws, was (and excuse the pun) unreal. That leash and adding combos was top notch. What happened? It crashed.
What I'm getting here is that CoD send the FPS genre into the stone age. Then someone invents the wheel and viola the freshest game of the freshest.
Again I gave up on this review as it deemed as 'fresh'. Fresh in what eyes? It's not fresh - the wheel has been invented again.
@waxcriminal That's true however sadly enough, the world seems that CoD is the only FPS and everything else just entered in Oblivion. I bet if a similar gameplay like bombing run was introduced, all hail that game for the fresh innovative (insert power words here) gameplay.
I gave up listening to the review at the one min mark. The 'fresh' movement thingy, well UT2004 done that - you can wall jump, double jump teleport etc. Other words, give credit where it's due.
I only played Thief 1 and looking at this, I really dislike that focus thingy. I remember in Thief 1 I have to look very carefully for items to pick up. That was awesome as it made me the Thief...not the game telling me what to do. Oh well, goodbye Garrett...you were the master thief.
