Yeah, Ben mentioned it but he was the only one that played it so far and he doesn't sound very far in, but enjoying it. Too much raiding to play it probably....

As you can tell none of them actually knows or cares about the busy Switch release schedule.I dont appreciate that Brad is still saying "people are starved for Switch games," when I barely have enough time to play all the Switch games that came out lately
...and even more coming in a few days.

They put out two new movies a while back and the first 28 or so episodes of Super are mediocre to bad retellings of those movies. Almost everything after that is pretty good.

As someone who never got around to watching the movies I enjoyed those episodes a lot.

Very happy they've played it. It's in my top 10 this year, easily.

just got to watch the final destiny 2 raid stream
i live for moments in that raid
the fucking ecstasy that the entire crew showed, that chat showed, that people here showed, and that people from other gaming sites showed, you just don't get anything else like it from other video games
i didn't think they'd be able to do it, especially with how poorly brad and jeff were performing in the first half of the stream. thank god for alex's positivity and dan's competence. ben choking was also killing me, but he did great in the spooky slide. abby was reliably hilarious.
despite all the crap they went through to get there, it was amazing to see them firing on all cylinders at the end, figuratively and literally. pretty sure that win cements destiny 2 in the staff top 5 at the very least. alex, ben, and dan will be touting that momentous experience as something they've never felt before in video games.

Using Fig if you aren't already established in the crowdfunding space with a ton of reach is just a really stupid idea.

Yeah. Kickstarter would've been better but..
...1.5 million? That's a fucking lot for kickstarting/figging something. God fig is so stupid.

The thing is there are only 2200 people who want that

A publisher giving Swery the money he wants is how it should have went. Devolver should step up and fund it.

the thing is
I feel swerys games don't have marketable appeal. Devolver funds games with little appeal but
I doubt they fund it for 1.5 millions worth. If Swery asked for half a million, sure I could see it happening through a publisher like Devlolver

With the right marketing, Swery's name attached to the project would probably be worth $1.5 million, he has a pretty loyal fanbase that loves his work. I don't know the business end of stuff but from the outside looking in, $1.5 million for the next Swery joint sounds appealing to me.
The campaign has more problems than just the budget. Honestly the budget is reasonable (though it does maybe prevent people from backing because they think there's no point since it won't reach it) so that's not my concern.
My concern is more that the reward tiers suck (and they knew this weeks in advance when they previewed it to users here), the updates have largely just been GIFs which doesn't comfort backers who want them to at least try to turn things around somewhat, and Fig doesn't seem to have helped them with any of this despite the fact that using Fig (despite its success rate) does have some tradeoffs with its perception compared to Kickstarter.
I'd up my pledge from $69 to somewhere around $300 for the extra physical stuff that'd get me but it's not even worth doing that at this point when it's not going to succeed.

I honestly think if he put it on Kickstarter instead he'd have a way better chance of hitting his goal.

Pillars of Eternity II is the only major one I've heard.

The Rock Band PC port used it and failed, and Psychonauts 2 used it and got funded, those are the two I remember.
Psychonauts 2 and Pillars of Eternity 2.

The big three have been;
Psychonauts 2 ($3.8 mil)
Wasteland 3 ($3.1 mil)
Pillars of Eternity 2 ($4.7 mil)
Though technically none of those three have come out yet.

I don't think his fanbase is bulky enough to make back those 1.5 million and then some.
Like, Swery isn't that popular. He's niche as niche gets. We just have the impression that Swery is bigger because GBs love for him.
Yeah, he's big in hardcore circles in general, but it seems louder than it really is.
