Quick Look: Krater

Why all the Patrick hate? this is completely stupid, I cant understand what makes you not like him.

I like Patrick. But Vinny isn't as funny with Patrick. Vinny needs Jeff or Dave or Ryan.

What?...

I have been reading some reviews, sounds like people don't like it because you keep having to reset your characters. It seems once you hit level 5 you have to get new characters who can reach level 10 and then again reset and get characters who can reach 15. It seems that there are a lot of complaints that the game has a lot of confusing ideas and turns into more of a grind.

I like the music in this game!

@HarlequinRiot: I'm trying to think of what it is some people lack that makes them post comments like that on the internet. Some people are just assholes or something I guess. Oh well, best to ignore them.

Great Quick Look guys, this game looks pretty great. I really dig the art/music and the way the game works seems pretty different compared to your Diablos/Torchlights atm. I really dig that playable characters are sort of like loot and how they can also die permanently. I'm trying really hard not to just buy the game right now, hopefully it'll be on some Steam sale soon enough!

@HarlequinRiot: That would be pretty funny.

This game hasn't been getting good reviews.. but.. I NEED it in a way that I can't describe.

Dr.Alban, Bamse, thrashed old KABE caravans... so much Swedish in-jokes. I love you, Fatshark.

As with the Magicka guys, it's kinda weird that they put in so much humor that will pass over the head of international players. But hey, I'm not complaining.

This looks kinda cool, but it's getting terrible reviews. Why is that?

Nice QL guys, I just have to get this game.

Same reason kids don't like their step dads for a few years. They are stupid, juvenile and don't like change.

@Twinblade34: I don't understand how anyone can not like either one of the guys. What I REALLY don't understand is how anyone can get on some site and comment on a video and talk about how they don't like a particular person. People are so fucking rude. I really can't stand it.

I never got this either. I mean, I guess you can have whatever opinion you want of a person, but making it known you don't like someone on a public forum where the person in question can easily see it and constantly complaining about them seems really rude, like you said. Like, do people just constantly yell "I DON'T LIKE YOU" to people they don't get along with in real life?

As far as I can tell, these people feel:

a) that they are allowed to express their opinion anywhere on the Internet, in any form, no matter what that opinion might be

b) that being hurt by any opinion or other combination of words written on the Internet is basically your own fault, since the Internet is a mean place

c) that they are entitled to something "better" than what certain GB staff provide

and d) that the best way to get this "better" staff is to yell at the current staff in the comments sections of articles or videos they post.

Now, as to why they think these things? - your guess will have to be as good as mine.

Took them long enough to liken it with Fallout. For the wrong reasons however. That overworld is straight out of Fallout 1 and 2.

Nice nods like the doctor in Norrmalm being named Dr. Alban and the guy outside IDEA being named Ingemar.

Edit: Oh and the T in the Krater logo.

Yeah, I found it a bit odd that they were talking about JRPG's when the game very obviously is drawing a lot of inspiration from Wasteland and the original Fallouts.

I've been keeping my eye on this game for a while though, so it's finally nice to see someone cover it in a bit more depth. I'll definitely be picking this up soon.

"Nod to Japanese RPGs"

Or, far fetch here, Fallout 1 and 2.

OMG random encounters in the world map!? JRPG?

C'mon giant bomb, none of you have played the original fallouts? I have terrible game memory, but even I remember that.

This is Fallout 1 -2 with real time combat. Which is rather cool actually.

I really like Vinny

Never heard of this game. I totally love this game. Thanks!

I thought everyone was just jealous of his hair... you know what they say about jealousy. Jealousy(fear) leads to anger and anger leads to hate and so on and so forth.

Some of you saying Dave would have been better suited for this QL? Preposterous!

Anybody else get a Tron Legacy meets Neverending Story vibe from the music at 5:00? So awesome.

The thing about Patrick is that he takes his work very very seriously. Makes him a great journalist but for quick looks the tone of what were used to from the rest of the crew is very different. Its not necessarily a bad thing its just not what we expect from a quick look.

So this is just Dungeon Siege 2 with better graphics

Ugh, as a swede I gotta say, IKEA food is pretty bad...

That's the stupidest comparison I've ever seen, not liking some guy you don't know and probably will never know is completely different than not liking some guy you don't know that's supposed to be your new father.

Hay guise!!1 Maybe if we keep being assholes about Patrick, Jeff or Ryan will decide they don't like him anymore! That's how stable-minded adults work, right?

Good god, it's like I never left high school.

Ahaha, a Doctor Alban reference! You don't see those every day.

If I could give you a thumbs up or a +1 or something I would but you will just have to settle for a big kiss XXXX. You lovely truth-telling person you.

All this Patrick hate got pretty boring, stupid and unnecessary a long time ago but it keeps comming..

Hey! Everyone that is thinking about getting the game, look at this. It's the games great soundtrack along with the game itself. Looks pretty nice! Go here http://store.fatshark.se/games/krater-soundtrack.html

Oh god, so many ridiculous Swedish word-plays, puns and references to Swedish pop-culture (Dr. Alban? Solside? Snajdarn? Elmerhult?) which should go above the heads of non-Scandinavians. Aren't these guys from the Stockholm area (GRIN was located in central Stockholm anyway)? This kind of humor tends to be associated with Göteborg.

Hooks and Big Bo should team up.

And yet, yesterday someone on the forums explained to me how Patrick just copies Jeff.

WHICH IS IT, GUYS?!

Everything, as long as they can say something negative about Patrick, I suppose. Then, Menito's comment was rather reasonable, but I'd rather say it's Jeff, Alex and Ryan that have a distinctly different tone from the other guys. Vinny, Brad, Patrick, Drew and Dave go great together imho, and all have their place at the site.

i love all the Swedish touches, like the currency beeing kroners. and the names of the places, wish it was a console game, not to big a fan of playing on my pc

After watching this quick look, I am contemplating purchasing this game.

This looks really interesting. Maybe I'll pick it up after the bugs have been ironed out. The music is fantastic.

I instantly like anyone who thinks the way some people bitch about Patrick and others is stupid. We will build love out of their hate!

Hell, more recently Dragon Age: Origins had random encounters on the overworld map.

I'll start the bon fire. We can sing songs. Songs of love.

This game looks so awesome.

Patrick is Patricking his Patrick Guys! Patrick! PATRICK!

Is it just me or does the overworld map look like a brain?

ALL GAMES

Shift+Click auto loots items. Video games.

this actually looks kinda rad, was ready to write this off but no way, especially since fatshark made this game (ulf anderson and simon viklund)

tp;dw

This game looks fantastic, too bad the system requirements are insane.

Note that IDEA furniture is a real thing in Chicago, oh the Polish and their IDEAs. http://www.ideafurniture.com/

Is there like this weird new trend where every video @patrickklepek is in there are people complaining about people complaining about @patrickklepek even though there is basically no one complaining about @patrickklepek? Its like the people that are complaining about @patrickklepek have suddenly teamed up to act like they hate the people that complain about @patrickklepek. Then instead of voicing their real opinion on the comments, they start complaining about people complaining about @patrickklepek, which then actually makes it seem like more people are complaining about @patrickklepek than there really are. Therefore actually accomplishing the goals of the people complaining about @patrickklepek without ever actually complaining about @patrickklepek or making themselves look bad...

Hmmmmm...'tis strange indeed.

@DoctorWelch: tl;dr

ThIs looks super cool, how much is it on Steam?
