Torment. Was okay I guess, for the cheapest possible price. Would not have been worth it at full price.

>Have you ever put money in a kickstarter video game?
Once, Indivisible.
What made you do it?
Loved Skullgirls and the prototype they gave.
Do you regret it?
Nah, the backer preview was great and everything else they shown off looks good too.

Put money towards Divinity Original Sin 2, got it and the first game from that. Don't regret it at all.

I would, but I just don't pay enough attention to Kickstarter to be honest, I dropped some cash on Shenmue III but I haven't heard anything more about that since the Sony conference where it was announced.

Not that I'm bitter about it though it was $30 bucks almost 3 years ago.

actually, no, but I have bought a few Early Access games and I haven't really regretted any of those purchases. in fact, a few of them became some of my favorite games despite still being in early access.

Star Citizen is the only crowd-funded type project that I really regret spending money on. Even though I only spent about $13 of my own money, since I was gifted a package by someone, I still regret it simply because I've come to hate the community and CIG.

the lack of progress that has been made is amazing, yet they keep having ship sales and concept sales. it's amazing how many people still have faith in CIG.

I love all the people that stumble over their own dicks explaining that, actually, everything is fine and it's totally a good sign that they put up the entire company as collateral for a last ditch loan on a game that is clearly going nowhere.

There's been some games I probably would have put money on, but it seems that every time I hear about a kickstarter it's already been funded. I don't pay enough attention to it.

no, but im doing a kick-starter for my own game later this year. I look forward to your donations

yeah, it's no doubt the same people who dumped hundreds or thousands into the game. they feel obligated to defend the project regardless of the circumstances since they're so invested monetarily.

dopes.

I gave money to Nefarious because I liked Brawl in the Family. It's ok.

I've backed and gotten:
>Shovel Knight
>Grim Dawn
>FTL
>Darkest Dungeon
>Hyper Light Drifter
>Hollow Knight
>Divinity: OS1 and 2
>Mercenary Kings
>Yooka-Laylee
>Mighty Number 9
8 excellent games, 1 mediocre game and 2 stinkers ain't too bad

Waiting on Psychonauts 2, Phoenix Point, Wasteland 3 and Consortium: The Tower right now. Feeling pretty good on all of those, especially Psychonauts and Phoenix Point

gave money to crowfall, don't regret it at all, the game looks great, and I'll get it for free when it comes out.

I hope people play it though.

>Crowfall

God I hope that game ends up good. I want a new MMO in my life that does something a little different and does it well. Have they said if it's gonna have a sub fee or just upfront cost like Guild Wars?

Is that a dwarf? Does Crowfall have dwarves?
I want to play a dwarf in my gay PVP games.

>Kickstarter game never comes out cliche

>dev ran out of money ex machina

I backed Star Citizen after the kickstarter, if that counts. I don't lament my purchase and I'm intrigued to see if they could actually bring the whole project to fruition.

The only other kickstarter I backed was a novel about griffons and that delivered on all fronts.

JAMES WHERE THE HELL IS DIABOTICAL

It's gonna be a one time fee, no sub cost
they're immortal dwarves made out of stone

PS, excellent taste

>Have you ever put money in a kickstarter video game?
Shantae Half Genie Hero and that spirital successor to Eternal Darkness
>What made you do it?
I trusted WayForward and that Eternal Darkness looked good
>Do you regret it?
No, the Eternal Darkness campaign got cancelled and everyone got a refund, they tried it on a different site but I didn't pledge on that
I got Shantae for Steam now and sold my Wii U Code(I got a complementary code because they didn't ship the Wii U codes while others got their codes)

I think you mean Tales of Game's, where the hell is The Magical Realms of Tír na nÓg: Escape from Necron 7 - Revenge of Cuchulainn: The Official Game of the Movie - Chapter 2 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa?

Almost backed mighty no 9. Ended up not because I wasn't 100% sure how I'd turn out and wanted to wait just a little more before dropping cash on it. A week later all the dina stuff hit. Dodged a bullet.

I almost backed System Shock, but thankfully they're so incompetent that they never gave the option to donate through paypal.

I backed a game called Re:Legend that isn't out yet. I'm really hoping I won't end up regretting it.

>Re:Legend
That one looked pretty neat. Hope it's good

You should feel bad if you backed Mighty No. 9 or Hiveswap because there was literally no gameplay footage at the time (Hiveswap didn't even tell you what it was) and you had no idea what you were in for.

If you backed Yooka-Laylee and regret it you have no excuse because there was plenty of gameplay footage and you decided that was acceptable.

Yes indiegogo.com/projects/crosscode
The demo was fully playable and i found it pretty comfy cross-code.com/en/start i can afford to lose 15 bucks, the game is releasing somewhere around this year and the devs have been streaming it every week as well as doing dev blogs so im not really worried about it not launching, no regrets so far. I did however buy int cube world and that space game that was shilled by youtubers, i learnt my lesson back then and consider backing a kickstarter/early access game means 100% loss of money steamcommunity.com/app/368340/allnews/

Oh I remember I backed Chivalry Medieval Warfare, played that for 500 hours when I still enjoyed it, back when I thought the game had promise and the developers would expand on the idea and take the game places and perfect it.

They eventually got lazy, reversed some of the changes to the game that made it better because some competitive people sperged out, competitive people never came out and now it's pretty much dead and it was ironically killed by another independent developer Mordhau who pretty much BTFO'd chivalry competitive players and the developers that you don't need retarded glitchy mechanics to have a competitive FPS melee game.

Triternion* Is the independent developer sorry I accidently put the game title.

>that space game that was shilled by youtubers
Star Citizen?
