CarrionCrow: It's been close to 15 years since a Mechwarrior game was put out. It's been over 14 since Mech Commander 2.
Given how long it's been, and how screwed up everything with the rights became, thinking it's not a stretch that a Kickstarted Battletech could do just as well as the best Shadowrun Kickstarter, if not better.
Figuring I'll back that one for 60 when I have the chance. It'll be better spent than buying overhyped "triple-A" garbage.
Oh yeah, wasn't there some sort of IP copyright fight that spiralled down into a dick measuring contests and which ended in a total SNAFU?
ElTerprise: I'd actually like to see that one at some point. The other two were okayish imho. But from what i've read about the new one - i've no intention to watch it....
Try searching the darker parts of the intertubes for it, it's not safe though,
so take this. CarrionCrow: You're not the first person I've seen make that statement. Fortunately I don't give much of a shit about Fantastic Four, so it's just a series of trainwrecks to laugh at. Just so long as they don't screw up Deadpool. I could go for a superhero-type movie with an R rating.
Clear Returns first. Pretty sure the last stage of Returns would be insufferable after playing Dragonfall at length. That's the one big sign that Harebrained Schemes didn't have a lot of game experience. They put in a mechanic that they thought would make things more dramatic, but just made it intensely obnoxious to play through.
I'm still offended that they went the ultimate-verse route and made Galactus into a goddamned
cloud!
Well they seem to have learned, and fast too, from past mistakes.
Let's hope they don't make new ones.
