I had no idea this many people were Switch exclusive.  I've always viewed an xbox or playstation as the "necessary" console to have, with Nintendo's consoles being a bonus if you're really into Nintendo games or whatever their latest gimmick is.

 

Console... "necessary"?  I mean, they're nice to look at in a "I'm totally a geek" sort-of way, and they're decent if you can't get a real gaming machine, but let's be clear: Real gamers play on a computer. cheeky

i was this close to ignoring this thread but then it entered the console vs pc debate and honestly, even with the smily, I can't be sure your joking so I'm gonna go out and say it right now: both methods of gaming are great and honestly, I prefer console because I like having a controller in my hand. (Plus I only really play minecraft in the computer and am getting the ps4 version of this game because, again, I like having a comtroller in my hand) (oh, and looking at it from a professional point of view: the only pc exclusive games are the crowdfunded kickstarter games made by companies most people have never heard of. They may be good but, really, pc gaming isn't really very mainstream. This isn't meant to offend anybody. Just my honest opinion. It's also all I have to say so don't argue with me. I'm out of points and I don't like the console vs pc debate.)

You youngsters!  Back in my day, consoles were used primarily for fighting games and the real business was on the PC!

I know your joking and this really shouldn't get on my nerves but.... It does. I hate myself for even getting invloved in this. (Also: I could say the same thing about PCs and FPSs right now) (edit: anyway, I didn't mean to reopen that can of worms. Let's stop now)

We're incredibly close to the Guise unlock! I hope we make it of course, but I want us to shatter that goal in our last few hours and really improve the game...

Hey, speaking of guise, specifically things that are not him: any hopes we might see some non-card game characters that have been mentioned before?

heck yeah!

 

on an unrleated note: is that thing on wraith's head supposed to be a hood? Hair? I can't tell and it looks like it's attached to her so that really just... I don't know... My opinion of it is not a good one.

In her alternate costume, her hair is pulled back in a tiny ponytail, so as not to interfier with the sensors(?) on her mask. Or are you talking about her main costume in game, i.e. her RPG look?

In all honesty I wouldn't be too worried if you don't like any of the new looks. They only seem manditory for the side quests so far, so I don't think you HAVE to play with them if you don't want to.

They got that update out quick!

Guise is looking pretty rad, and I'm loving the sound of how his abbilities work!

Somehow I missed seeing Wraith's stealth suit when they announced it.  It's a strange look for her, indeed.  That purple star thing looks like she's being attacked by a facehugger.

There will definitely be characters not in the card game, at least as villains.  They aren't providing details so as to avoid spoilers.

Guise picked up a little bit of color from Wager Master, apparently, and... a mouth?  That'll take getting used to.

In all honesty, I find the PC group and the Console group both think the other side is going out of style.  I prefer PC because I have more control over the system and I am better aim with a mouse and keyboard than a controller, but I used to play a ton of console games.  I think everyone has their preferences and they both allow people to share somethin they love:  games.

They're both going out of style compared to mobile and portable.  But still plenty healthy.

original. I don't mind it in the rpg but in the game it looks awful. If that is a hood they really screwed up there.

Weeeellllllllllllllll...

Me on  the KS Comments section:

On a more serious note I have a question regarding the Stretch Goals we may not reach. Since this will be an episodic game from what I've been lead to believe, is there a chance we can get certain goals in future episodes if game sales/post-kickstarter pre-ordering goes especially well? The new update brought to life how much certain levels will improve gameplay, and it would be a shame to lose them...

Underbite:

the Kickstarter assures the features will be in the game at launch.(reffering to what goals have been unlocked) Our plan is to continue to expand the game so you will likely see the other features over time after launch.

Edit: Italicized text added by me to add context

For what it's worth, I did end up changing my mind on this project.  I backed it yesterday.

The later updates have been much more to my liking and the SotM IP was too much of a draw for me to resist.  Don't let me down, Underbite!  :P

Its a hood and attached to the cape.  I’m not sure I like that direction for her outfit but it’s been shown long before this KS.

yeah, but it looks fine in the art. It's the game model I don't like.

plus side: combat simulator.

 

negative side: no mr. Fixer at launch. Dissapointing.

Not bad though, that's pretty high over the original ask price for a game that was rather loudly derided when the KS launched. :) Here's to... waiting for stuff again. :B Oh, Kickstarter.

Ya know, th games websits is very proud of it being funded in two days despite the fact that it's probably the least funded sentinels project so far. Hopefully the rpg kickstarter will be able to get close to some of the higher funded kickstarters. Not OblivAeon high but maybe vengence high.
