Reading a lot of the stuff Patrick links to makes me realize that there are a ton of people writing about video games today, many of them are crazy, and I'm glad I decided not to try to break into the field.
Only reason I'm considering picking one up is because I'm leaving my Wii with my parents, and this is supposed to carry over all your purchased Wii digital content. But without any games that I give a rat's ass about at launch, I can probably hold off til next year.
I'm very happy that this project reached its goal so quickly. It means I don't feel the need to fund it just to support independent game makers, which I feel is important. And now I can wait and see if this actually pans out into something I would want to buy.
For something like this, I'd rather make that decision when the physical object exists and can prove itself on its own terms, without having someone talking for it. In the end, all Kickstarter has done is turn us into investors, but instead of betting with large sums of money on a project being profitable, we bet a small sum and get the product as a consolation prize (hopefully). I'm not an investor and I don't want to be. I'm told enough pie-in-the-sky stories on a daily basis.
@SuperWristBands: I just switched to a controller, so now I will totally fill my sub palette with spells. These are all very important aspects of the game that I probably wouldn't have figured out on my own! Thanks.
@SuperWristBands: These card weapons sound pretty dope, I hope I can find one soon. Space Gambit sounds like a cool class. Is three the maximum amount of spells you can attach to a weapon? That seems rather limiting compared to the older games.
I played a Hunter for a bit, which was fun. Even at lv4 I felt like I was messing dudes up if I used the right weapon and PA. Then I had to delete my character to come over to Ship 2, and rolled a Force.
While I appreciate how quickly PP regenerates, the force spells seem exceedingly weak. Do you charge the spells by holding the button down before casting? If so, for how long? Perhaps I was just doing it wrong. I also picked up a different Foie disk, and it seems to be a targeted explosion that instantly travels far, hits multiple enemies for more damage and is the same cost as base Foie. What's the downside to that?
