Dwarfs?!

I stumbled across this game after Yogscast showed the trailer and did a bit of a play through... (shown above)

What do you guys think of it? After... You know... Dwarf Fortress.

yo man, lets do it again, lets create another thread, lets fight another flame war cause dwarf fortress is the only game allowed to have dwarves, burn the heresy, burn the devs that create game with even the most remote idea of digging and midgets.

anger!
hate!
blue berry pastries!
burn baby burn!


no serious, I could not do anything in the other thread before they died away, here is my chance to give my flame thrower some fresh air, I wanna be part of it,

battle royale!

Did you check all the subforums? Did you make sure to use the search-function?

Approximately 50%* of all threads on the internet are about that game.

*statistic is 100% true, for a given value of true

Okay, I have played the game.
It is very fast paced and hectic, a good little time sink.
The dwarves dwarfs are stupid and have very little self preservation.
The dwarves are the same in the self preservation/stupidity respect, the gameplay is so polar opposite however it's shocking.
Depth however: very little.
My two cents.  :D

Business as usual.

People who aren't smart play aren't smart games. Despite their aren't smartness, they have money. People like money. People make aren't smart games to get money from aren't smart people. Everyone's happy.

"I'm starting to think I should have played the tutorial"

ORLY? You need a tutorial to tell you to not make the same mistake over and over and over again?

Hey, now, you don't need to be dumb to enjoy dumb things. It's nice to sometimes shut off your brain and watch some Beavis and Butthead or something.

(It's just as enjoyable to watch when your brain is on, but I digress)

All I can accuse these guys of is not knowing about DF's anger-happy fanbase.

We have a certain good (building game starring dwarves), and we don't want anyone else to make it. You know what that makes us like? ELVES! BY COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS KIND OF THING, YOU'RE MIMICKING AN ELF!!

At one point the devs actually gave out free keys to the game, here at Bay12, as response to angry DFers. But that was a long time ago.

It was today, wasn't it? Though, technically, they're all used up.

DF is less of a game than a simulation.

Dwarves is just a game. And not a very good looking one, at that.

This was ages back, they gave out about 300 of them. And then sent more keys to people who'd missed the first three batches in private messages. MoM even got a free key for the expansion pack.
