I'm sorry. I really needed to re-read your post a few times before my mind actually read what was really there.

I'd like to join the sentiment that while we often seem to go off-topic, I enjoy this community. I'm constantly finding people with common interests, as well as being introduced to things I never would have found otherwise that I'm enjoying, and meeting likable people. It's one of the few places I've found where there actually feels like there is a reason for me to interact with, rather than just skim over things and lurk.

Things have gotten rather serious in the last couple of days, it's like one of those moments in life where you look back on everything and suddenly have to make an important decision that will impact the future
It that where this thread is going?
How optimized is The Evil Within on PC? I should probably just download the demo.

Pat said they started their LP on PC but due to crashes they are switching over to PS4 for the rest of it. Take that how you will

I think that we're just worried that the new influx of people that will come Pat is shilling us a lot. While we love to go off topic, we really don't have that much discussion towards the best friends.
Maybe it has hardware compatibility issues? I was more wondering if it scaled well with mid-range computers.

OK so can we go on topic and talk about why Cabela games looks so great??
Hunting and Killing showed me that the developers of that one Cabela game did an environment so much nicer looking than Skyrim. Liam was right.

There's the free PC demo you could try, if you don't have it yourself.
Edit: I can't read, fuck me.
Destiny is Destiny is Destiny is Destiny is Destiny is Destiny is
and as we all know, Destiny is Destiny
I suspect it's because Cabela games are always made by different or fresh developers and if that's all the work a studio can get, then some will be motivated enough to put in the work to make it look nice.

I believe it's due to the games artstyle. Skyrim was built on a the theory that people wanted to do dumb quests and a lot of them. I believe they didn't put much effort into the detail of the environment and focused on the number of quests they could put in.
Cabela's focus was an immersive hunting experience. It's due to this that they put way more work into the detail of the hunting grounds.

All of that stuff can and should be talked about elsewhere. I don't understand how people can find a chat to be inconvenient, but whatever. My point is that this is a thread for the Super Best Friends. Whatever reason you have for not wanting to discuss off topic stuff in their appropriate threads is not a justification for you to talk about them here.
Anyway, it makes no difference in the end. I'm not the moderator of this thread. These are just my 2 cents.
Geez, if I knew this was going to be a problem I would have just made a forum on a site that allows it and we can have off-topic conversations there.
It's more visually appealing the the chat, and while you just have to sign up to the site it's not that much of a hassle, and since it allows self moderation and what not it can be helpful.
If anyone is interested just PM me.
Now back on topic,
I still haven't had time to watch the podcast yet, but the hunting games are always a treat. I love how casually the main character treats nearly dying constantly.

I backed Under The Dog after hearing about it from the zaibatsu and a friend. Seeing the staff behind the project made it a real easy decision.

them talking about Ghost Song and Hyper Light Drifter got me to back those games.

I have never backed any game on kickstarter.
None, but just cause I don't like using money online. What about you?
IRC/Steam chats are too transient, I like the permanence of forum posts. And you can't post gifs in IRC/Steam chat so that can get fucked.
As to why I'm here, it's because you're all cool guys, and sadly enough, more mature than 95% of Gaf. Of course, SBF is cool too and we can talk about them when new stuff drops but I enjoy you guys' company too much to not use this convenient nexus of a community thread to yakk about stuff as well.
However, it doesn't hurt to join a couple more communities outside of this one. I post/sub to about 10-15 communities and OTs myself.
Speaking more seriously (and I believe I've talked about this before), right proper discussions can actually happen in this thread since the chances of someone leaving because they lost an argument or the other person won't capitulate irrational/illogical stances or ad hominems start flying is extremely low since everyone in this thread has interests to keep the peace and be respectful.
Anyway, I'm probably gonna to bed soon, I've spent way too much time at uni and I only got back past midnight, and I gotta go back early in the morning as well.
purchased rather than backed for me, at lot of the time I hear about said thing, go to check it out and think yeah I'll back this later, then completely forget to do so, and then feel really bad about it. I do always end up supporting the game/project after it's out though, I brought all three versions of Shovel Knight and Hyper Light Drifter/Ghost Song have been on my radar for some time so I'll be supporting them at launch too, the guys seem to be avid Kiskstarter browsers, it's nice to find out about cool new stuff I never have the chance to find myself

I've never backed a KS project.
I have an issue with KS and crowdsourcing. I often miss out on goodies (like Earthbound/Mother swag) that I'd love.
The one game I wanted to back was that game Matt and Pat played on the shitstorm that was surviving in the wild in first person. The name escapes me right now.
I missed the window on Shovel Knight. I also threw a little money at Grave. Otherwise, I've backed a bunch of projects that the Zaibatsu have pushed, but usually by coincidence.
I'm a big proponent of Kickstarter, and I think the burden of risk falls cleanly on the backer. So, I applaud people not using Kickstarter if they aren't prepared to.

The gunplay is so poor though :/ I find it confusing to have a hunting game with poor gunplay.
Oh thanks!

Found them. Only 3 person team too.
It's such a novel idea and yet the right execution would put the game would much more than 15 dollars.

If I had the money I would have backed some projects.
I think it's really great of them to support some kickstarters that need the PR. I'm really glad that Under the Dog got funded.
We even got lore that Woolie only funds if it meets the goal.

Eh, we're just being meta, all forums and stuff do this at some point.
I think they focus a lot on the environments to make up for the fact that a game about hunting is probably going to be incredibly boring no matter what.
Never backed a game on KS. Only thing I've backed has been Dice Rings, which seem to still be going on and the one I have is fantastic. Plus I have ADHD so the spinner ring is helpful for me hiding my ticks.

I found and backed Shovel Knight right before they did that preview video. Kaiju Combat I backed entirely because of them though.
I never drop much more than 10-20$ into a kickstarter, so they're not huge investments for me.
Never heard of Grave. I would have liked to backed Hyper Light Drifter though.
Maybe they were going for realism? I've never fired a gun but I can't imagine it would be as easy as games would have you think.
Only three people? Yeah that game is never getting finished

I've never played a Cabela game, but if it's really bad as you say, it may have to do with the idea of actually killing an animal in a realistic setting is the main selling point.

From personal experience, it isn't. It takes a ton of practice to effectively aim and handle a firearm, both pistol and rifle.
For a game that's hunting based, I guess I'd expect a little more simplicity in ADS and little recoil and all that. It could benefit from the CoD simplicity.
Watch the videos of Matt and Liam playing. I haven't played a Cabela game either, but it doesn't seem like a super accessible game. Maybe the series could benefit from casualization?
