what's with the Obsidian insults? DS3 has shown that they can make bug free games when working with their own code and not with leftovers from other devs

Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
$2.1 million and up = Obsidian and Chris Avellone on Wasteland 2 dev team
- Thread starter duckroll
- Start date
Hey someone has to come up with more cancellations.
Could have been a fluke you know. We won't know till their next game if it wasn't.
TBH DS3 isn't nearly as ambitious (true sandbox-y) as their other RPGs so keeping it bug free was easier than ever.

I don't have any more money to give, think they accept kidneys?
One was the CEO of Razer, one was the president of Epic, one was a regular guy from RPGCodex, one was a group pool from RPGCodex, and one was likely Notch although I'm not sure on that one.I hope they do something cool with that, I love this kind of private joke cameos.
Edito we know who made those huge donations?Are they associations from websites or really rich people?
There are probably others that were identified, but I can't remember at the moment. If there were others that identified themselves, I don't think Fargo commented on them; he commented on all of the others besides the RPGCodex member I referred to.

Never thought I'd be a backer, but sometimes you just need a nudge like this. I'm in.
You don't "fluke" QA testing.
I see thanks, that's pretty interesting.

There are ways of getting your kidney on the black market, the going rate is around 5g, that would be a more then enough for a pledge.
A kidney would make for a great personalized artifact.

Pretty sure, yeah. 249k missing in 16 days means about 15,5k/day. This means every hour needs 0,6k funding for it to come true and every hour that saw more than 0,6k funding makes it way likelier.
And now look at the last 8 hours for example:
2K funding every hour (which isnt too unreasonable) would lead us to about 2,5M. I think that is more or less the highest reasonable and attainable goal here, especially if they set another funding goal, like Mod Kit on launch at 2,5M or something.

where do you guys keep getting all these fun KS stats and graphs? is it on KS itself or is someone specifically making these?

Kickstarters always tend to spike at the end, so I'm not worried about it reaching 2.1M. Would be nice to see it hit 2.5 though.
Yeah, I am not at all worried about 2,1M. I just want to know actually if they will promise anything for 2,5M
People need to fund faster!Maybe they'd promise Fallout 1 levels of VA? Obsidian probably has connections to get a few decent VA to record several minutes worth of dialogue.Yeah, I am not at all worried about 2,1M. I just want to know actually if they will promise anything for 2,5M
did anybody care about VA in Fallout 1-2???
It made those characters feel special. Unique sprites might go further though.

I liked it. It was nice that the most important characters were animated and voiced. Not that I would care if they go with no voice acting at all for Wasteland 2.
I liked it a lot. How it highlighted certain NPC's, gave them a bit more character.
Not a huge deal here for me, though.

How big are these big pledges? Is there a way to list all pledges by size?
The Epic and Razer CEOs were in the thousands. Pretty sure Notch was as well.
I think another may have been Ed McMillen (Team Meat), based purely on the order some things showed up in my twitter feed.

What the fuck...?
I recognize Ron Perlman and I think I saw Jim Cummings somewhere.
edit: lol, people are so up in arms. The only games where VA is outstanding are GTA IV + episodes and Red Dead Redemption + some bits in Bioshock. Well, Vampires Masquerade Bloodlines are good too, but not outstanding. And Uncharted is good too, but not outstanding. Outstanding = could be in some great movie.
edit2: oh and I forgot Schafer's games. They really had outstanding VA.

Don't forget Richard Moll, Bull from Night Court as well as appearing in such '80s movie classics as House, Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared Syn, The Dungeonmaster (aka Ragewar), and The Sword and The Sorcerer.
I haven't watched these...
You don't know Richard Dean Anderson and Clancy Brown?
