wat. Ill tell you how many servers are in play when the game launches. Believe me, this game has an immortal community
While it may have a long lasting community, it will eventually falter. Only time will tell, but when I see a small community I see a game that will end up dead soon. Who knows - like I said time will tell. I remember something similar with Shattered Horizon, and that was a unique and great game.
How is the price ridiculous? Same as Chivalry, and that game has done very well for itself.
Price for what is essentially a game that started as a mod and there is a $25 tag on it? Maybe $15, not $25. Especially for multiplayer only games.
It actually does invoke confidence. I been in many closed betas lately, you will be lucky to find a single half-full server. At this moment, there is 6 full ~20 slot servers.
I've been in quite a few closed betas lately as well, and there are servers always there, but small. I was just basing my "small community" assumption on what was said prior to my post.
mod+? video games, how do they work!
with >50k+ copies sold, and that amount onceover in free copies, there's probably going to be a few people always available to play.
Right, but I personally, at least, like to have a community that is at least decent in size where there is potential for growth, when I see a small community day 1 it doesn't make me confident. Again, this is my opinion.
Brand new, built from ground up engine = mod+?
25$ = premium price?
What universe are you in?
A mod, with a foundation for what the gameplay will be. New engine or not, doesn't necessarily mean it deviates from the core mod concept from which it originated from. $25 for multiplayer only, and was previously a free mod, yes it is a premium price IMO. I currently live in this universe... hopefully.
We now live in a world where to build a game entirely from the ground up right down to building an entirely original engine is considered a "mod"?
On top of that, the term "mod" carries a negative connotation?
edit: beaten. :O
Not negative so much as the game is based on a mod, which I enjoyed I might add. I think many of you are not understanding "built from the ground up" doesn't mean the game is a new concept, with new game mechanics - it is still similar to the original game hence the '2'. Yes the engine is new, but that doesn't mean it deviates from what it started out as a, a free mod. I'm not bitter about it going for a price, I just cannot justify the price for this game with everything I've seen thus far. Sure the picture of the server list may be populated now, but I want to see it 3-6 months from now.
That being said, I still wish to try out the game, but the price point along with other factors have turned me off from it.
. was gonna upgrade this xmas but it's frustrating because I've been able to play every other release so far, even witcher 2 with no issues. Gonna try to play on my gf's machine instead I guess. still sadface.
