Same here. =[
And all my anger points to that shitty Steam community that didn't vote for Speedrunners in the Community Vote flash during the summer sale.

That sounds like the worst example so far, considering how much money they got.
I have backed one game that also completely failed, Unwritten: That Which Happened, but they "only" received $78k, was quite open what happened, didn't take forever to admit it, and according to a later update, they did refund those who asked for it.
I wanna see the livestream for this epic race.

But Alan Wake, man! Couldn't pass that up.
Not too long ago I read an article on Bugbear and how they were nearly bankrupt before they managed to get NCG going, and the article said (loosely translated) "According to Bugbear the publisher simply didn't pay hundreds of thousands for work that Bugbear had already done, and so Bugbear couldn't pay their taxes."
Now, it doesn't say who's the publisher, but considering Sega Rally Revo (2007) is Bugbear's previous game before Unbounded, it does sound very much like Bamco didn't pay. Unless it's some project that never saw the light of day of course.
Sort of reminds me of Grin and SquareEnix. Nordic developers and Japanese publishers don't mix.
Everyone better gang up on Dunder.

Exactly. I follow dozens of campaigns since I manage the 2014 KS thread. Sorry, but putting your faith in some Let's Players is just ridiculous.
And it doesn't even have to be to proven devs. Every game I've backed has had steady regular updates from the devs. The duds, scams, failures don't diminish the work and dedication of all the developers who actually are working hard to deliver to their backers.

In a world where people donate for potato salad, I am surprised.
Edit: sorry, thought this was a funding dud until I clicked on the link.

We'll be ready to play and I'll start the stream in a moment.

As much as I love D:OS, according to Swen, it actually cost around $5.4 million to complete. I would love to know how many people are working on Wasteland 2 though. Larian is only around 40 people.

It's kinda bullshit how they are releasing an updated version of the game for PS3 only... and they trailer they put out is blatantly PC level footage.
Freedom = $1.05

Finished Ys II:
I dunno how anyone plays that game without a guide. The last 2-3 hours consists of leaving and returning to a maze, with the game really not guiding you all that much through that process.
I found Ys II much more frustrating that Ys I, where the game spreads its dungeons out and never seems like an exercise in patience. If you make the mistake of walking away from the last dungeon for a couple of days and come back, just be ready to kinda sorta never find your footing again without an FAQ by your side.
I'm just relieved that Ys II is over. I feel as if i might have made a mistake playing the first 2 Ys games before getting into Oath or Origins because now I'm terrified of the notion of 3d windy mazes and a game that's too comfortable being obtuse.
Yeah, play both of these games with a guide but ESPECIALLY Ys II, if you must play them.

I played Civ V for like...10 minutes.
I half feel like it just isn't my thing and half feel that I should give it a longer chance.

Yes. Sadness should be added to the bundle in a few hours
Kipp could do it.From what I've seen, certainly noone new. But maybe with enough practice?
I don't think I ever will though
From my perspective, it's the worst
havent even heard of this. Im a sucker for B-movie style janky games, but that base price is killing me. would have insta bought of it was 5 like the other 2 I mentioned (which I did insta buy
)

Don't be scared of later Ys games. I love the original 2, but even I recognize that they're a bit obtuse in terms of level design. When I played Book I & II originally on the Turbo CD back in 95 (and I'd played Ys I back in 89 on the Sega Master System), I do recall getting stuck multiple times, and just combing every square inch to get through. The layout for Chronicles is actually slightly better. The other games benefit from being more modern. If you got through Ys I & II, you should have no problems negotiating the other games.
I've only played the PS2 version so I can't comment on the PC port, but it's totally worth it for the current sale price (assuming nobody comes in here and says the PC port sucks).

Yeah... the best part :'(
It's like he doesn't even have to try... just smashing other players left and right
He never does, he broke me a long time ago...
I swear I did beat him one time...

Hehe yeah, Kipp is just as good as me, the matches against him are crazy intense and those matches are the best!
Really looking forward to when you guys have put in a few hours in this game and will come up to our level, even if it's a lot fun to troll you too
Haha, and then The_Super_Inframan hooks me and goes through the closed gate, that was beautiful.
wasnt bundled no
