/u/JD-King the "it's not finished yet excuse" is shit that DayZ fanboys still thrown out. It wasn't a good excuse 5 years ago and it isn't an excuse now. A game that looks like shit during development is a game that will be shit after release.
At least people who buy a game in EA has something to play. Kickstart a game for $400 and cross your fingers guy don't get ripped off.
I'd take EA over kickstarter any day of the week.
Anyone who treats kickstarter as a preorder program is a fucking moron. Those are two different things. That like saying I'd rather buy a hamburger than mcdonalds stock because at least I get to eat.
The difference is what? Kickstarter lets your throw an unrestricted amount of money away for hopes a game gets released that isn't total garbage and pre-order means you're getting something that's already made.
Someone supporting a kickstarted is taking shots at EA, that's a good one...
Or could be a proof of concept. Just a thought. If the guy was showing this with a laundry list of coming features Id understand but its a tech demo. Some of the best games started that. Splatoon started out that way.

lol cuz their selling it in EA just like- oh wait their not. Maybe wait and see if a game is good after it releases? nah too difficult

Just looking at the game I'm going to take a wild guess and bet it sure as shit had a kickstarter or some other crowd sourcing?
n/a JD-King 2017-06-14
And?

Cool false equivalency. Wana try a straw man next?
n/a Flyboy142 2017-06-14
That's not what a false equivalency is. Get out of your armchair and actually learn what logic is.
n/a JD-King 2017-06-14
EA = kickstarter because they take your money either way? Yeah... "logic"
n/a Flyboy142 2017-06-14
Now look who's trying the strawman?
n/a JD-King 2017-06-14
Those are your words dummy
n/a Flyboy142 2017-06-14
No, they're not. Pay attention. You're going full retard here.

A direct quote isn't what you said? ok mr. president whatever you say...
n/a Flyboy142 2017-06-14
Lol not if the quote wasn't me, you idiot. The quote was from r/Swineflew1, not me

You mean there's more than one dip shit like you?! I give up I'm outnumbered by morons.
n/a Flyboy142 2017-06-14
I agree, you better backpedal as far as you can before you embarrass yourself even more.

No, I was saying EA is BETTER than kickstarter because you're actually getting a product at the time of purchase for a set price.
Kickstarter is there to dupe idiots out of thousands and thousands of dollars for hopes that a product actually gets made.
Preorders are buying a finished product before it's released.
I'm not sure what part is hard to follow.

That game was originally some kind of masochistic FPS torture engine that took Arma and somehow made it worse.
What's mind blowing to me is that in development of the standalone they managed to make the game even worse.

Why the fuck would anyone expect indie ARPGs to show "the story" in previews?
n/a Hellkyte 2017-06-14
Tech demos don't always make great games. Remember Force Unleashed? Neither did I which is why I had to google it's name.
