Gaf was down last night. Did Sony really do a kick starter? Got 2 million dollars out of y'all? Da fuck is wrong with y'all? We are way past $70 game with exclusive editions and dlc.
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
It's $30 for the digital edition and $60 for a physical copy in a hard case. Same price as any new game on next gen consoles and the digital price is lower than most brand new AAA Steam games.
So...yeah. Not seeing the problem with people supporting something they've wanted for years by paying regular price for it.

The problem is that Sony could fund this if they wanted to make it. They know the demand is there for it. You're being used, they'll take 2 m dollar out of y'alls pocket and throw something at you 2 years from now and you're all happy like thank you, massa.
I honestly dont think shes evil incarnate like some in the thread are saying. I think its pretty clear that she reallllllllllllllllllllly wants to be black.
I do think shes batshit crazy though. Girl needs help
you will see in 12 years

So it turns out Halo 5's Super Collector's Edition Xtreme is a $150 hike above the standard Limited Edition because of a single statue. Like, the Limited Edition ($100) has literally everything the Collector's Edition has (even a small statue!), but you get a small statue and a big statue with the Collector's Edition.

I am doing the standard edition and that is it. No more physical gaming trinkets in my house.
only super omega collectors ediction that was ever cool was the one that came with functional night-vision goggles, and a pro spec remote control helicopter.
Jesus!

The whole situation is very unfortunate. Most of the Haitians there were allured by the promise of work in the bateys and for years Haitian communities have been extorted by local police who threaten to take their citizenship away, pretty much squandering the money made for themselves. Now they're all going to be deported to a country were some don't even speak the language more broke than when their ancestors left

That is some fuckery to the next level. Glad to see the US is condemning them, but that is just pathetic. Racism knows no bounds. Add DR to places I won't be visiting, ever.
This deserves it's own thread. Freaking ethnic cleansing right in our backyard.
Dear lord O_O I want to say I'm shocked but considering I'm Hatian on my mothers side, I've long been aware of the "tensions" between the halves of Hispaniola
Gross stuff all around.bobbychalkers

That is completely fucked up...god damn.
I was expecting the usual extreme racial tension but:
"According to the decision, Dominicans born after 1929 to parents who are not of Dominican ancestry are to have their citizenship revoked. The ruling affects an estimated 250,000 Dominican people of Haitian descent, including many who have had no personal connection with Haiti for several generations."
This is an international travesty. How is this legal? Where are the sanctions? Why is this my first time reading of this? This won't just affect blacks, it'll affect everyone!
But they don't know. That's the thing.
Internet talk is cheap. It's hard to tell just how big the vocal minority is.

They had 10 years to figure it out... but it doesn't matter, really. I will enjoy reading the threads from idiots saying how they have nothing to eat or nowhere to live because they spent all their money on the Shenmue kickstarter and pe-ordering FFVII Remake.
Putting in enough for the game itself should be enough and maybe a little extra as a love letter. But you can't go spending hundreds to thousands of dollars to a game that has not even begun development.

For some reason I not surprised D.R. of all places would do some fucked up shit like this.
Gamers need to smarten up before they get cleaned up.
Gaming is already a premium hobby and going even higher than that willingly seems crazy to me.
It takes the risk out of everyone's hands but the gamers. Company goes bust before game launches, sucks for you thanks for the "donation". Let me tell you about my new kickstarter.
Shit like books, card games, little trinkets i can see. But unknowns like eletronics, and game development? Nah son.

If you search through the OT you will find many many posts about people having no food or nowhere to go or live and then you will also find posts about about all the gaming bullshit they bought. Right now there is a thread about a gu who accidentally got put into the 10,000 tier of Shenmue supporters and he's thinking about paying it so he can get some Shenmue jacket.
Dude going to float 10K for 3+ years, and at the end for it he will have a jacket and a dinner? Worse investment ever, and folks scream bloody murder over preorders.
double jump
you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
some real ish right here.
Hold up?
They were doing a poll/market study but using people's money?
yes
typically in modern times you have multiple investors, kickstarter is now considered just one of those investors in a plan, sorta
so basically "get x money from KS, and we'll believe you and put in our money too"
Hold up?
They were doing a poll/market study but using people's money?
Yeah, that's kinda sleazy
"We already potentially have major publisher backing, but prove to us that you want the game by giving us a shit-ton of money! Then we'll make the game...and then charge you more money!"
But as sleazy as it is...gamers WILL spend money on this shit, so who can blame them?

Igarashi straight up said said that in the Bloodstained video. Pre-ordering is not enough for pubs to gauge interest so we pay millions in games that don't even have names for them to pick them up or notice.

This shit would not fly anywhere else.
Honestly, dudes like that deserve what they get. I have no idea how you get to the point where you place more value on fucking video games than on your own ability to take care of yourself. To actually consider giving up being able to eat in order to support a niche video game is pure fucking insanity.
can't knock the hustle. But it is weird to see, especially how F2P is so demonized, this shit is Super Pay 2 Play: Ready to go Hungry edition.
Hold up?

If the $30 and $60 tiers didn't come with copies of the game then I would agree that it's extra sleazy. Frankly I just see it as another form of preordering at those levels.

the dudes who spend $25,000 on Star Citizen are the same ones who get mad at hookers for not accepting coupons.

Weird? These people are fans, it does derive from fanatic after all...
