I want a 6-legger.

Maybe if it was a Norse-themed enemy, but alas, it is generic European-robot-thing.

I'm going to jump on the train that hopes Starbound isn't just Terraria in Space. More depth than the blatant grinding and base building that's only aesthetic is a big hope for me.

But considering that I enjoyed the heck out of Terraria in all stages, I'll probably enjoy it either way. In the least I hope they improve the combat.

Anyhow no it was Cubeworld, one of my sympathy purchases >_<

What really? I actually planned to get that game at some point, is the game finished, and is it that bad?

I actually would have gotten it, but I got lucky and it was in the middle of the whole post-release fiasco when the dev took it down for a while. From what I understand, I didn't miss out on much. The developers, a husband/wife team from what I understand, were pretty clear that it was a side project but it was implied that they'd continue developing it until it was finished. They didn't really do much of anything after the initial release, but recently came out of complete radio silence recently with promises of a new update (Story here).

Honestly, I'm skeptical. Their past performance is anything but exemplary.

What we've seen thusfar of combat is already an improvement. Just giving enemies attacks and abilities beyond bumping into you or shooting straight-line projectiles at you is a novel thing as far as Terraria is concerned.

If we build the door, will it come?(ref to an old movie)

Fun fact: Nine people have had $2,000 to buy a impervium preorder of this game.
That money could have supported soooo many people living in poverty conditions. So you know, game better be damn good.

Miniscule compared to the grotesque amounts of money US politicians spend on namecalling in election years. Just to keep it in perspective.

[Max White]

So the question is: Will this game be better than watching US politicians with their name calling?
Not the highest bar in the world.

Honestly, I think the game will be good, but seriously, that is insane troll logic trying to say "well some people used a bunch of their money that could have been put elsewhere"

Yep you heard it here first. Stating the straight up fact that people have money that can be used to buy any assortment of things and products is such crazy insane thinking... that mentioning it causes a rip in the fabric of reality and transforms you into a cave troll.

At least that MUST be what you mean. Since the only comment you could be referring to was just stating that for what people paid for it, it should be good. Which would be the exact opposite of what you are implying it to mean. Plus even if it wasn't what Max White meant, even your "corrected" statement doesn't make it insane troll logic. Of course if someone spends their money that money could have been spent somewhere... else...

Ohh my goodness... etgfrog lives in a dystopian future where they force you to buy videogames against your will and chats on bay12 forums not knowing it is actually from the past! IT MAKES TOTAL SENSE!

Ok very bad joke aside. Max White's comment is basically a "For what people paid for it, it better be good" and used the fact that the money could be used to save lives to qualitate it.

Fine, I'll go quote what I'm referring to

This to me is insane troll logic.

Now, as for why I would say that, to me when you put your expectations that high that it has to be the best game ever or it was a waste of money, then your life will be nothing but disappointments.

[Neonivek]

Ok let me rewrite what Max wrote in other words while preserving its original meaning.

"Hey did you know? Nine people paid 2000 bucks to preorder the game.

With that kind of life saving wads of cash Starbound better be good!"

to me when you put your expectations that high that it has to be the best game ever or it was a waste of money, then your life will be nothing but disappointments

Well you added information that wasn't even there. Max White said the game better be good. Not that the game needs to be super fantastically amazing.

[Max White]

Lets not get into arguments.
Yea, I was pretty much saying that considering just what 2,000 will buy, for people to actually spend that much they must have very, very high expectations, and it would be a shame to be two thousand dollars worth of disappointed. I'm not going to tell people how to spend their money, just that clearly some people really love something they have never even tried.

[Neonivek]

I don't know... this argument was sort of silly at best.

I don't think either of us took it personally, though I don't speak for Electric Telepathic Giant Frog.

[etgfrog]

That's fine, I more or less wanted to post about trying to compare videogame kickstarting and donations to a charity but avoided that as that is worse of an area to bring up. I more or less got the impression it was a serious post. I hate sarcasm

Don't think I've ever heard that guess regarding my screen name, but strangely enough it almost fits as I tend to think far too deeply into things and try to guess what others think.
