    WTF??

    How can anyone with a sane mind say this looks amazing,it looks like some 1980's vaporware crap,not even a 1/10.

    Then i see mention of Smedley which reminds of where i saw this title mentioned before.he is still trying to peddle the exact same crap that he spent NO TIME thinking out or coming up with some solid development ideas.This is very simply a very fast cash grab with no care for spending time to create quality.
    No way is this game worth even a mention let alone a trial.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    Still so hacked I put the wrong year. And it's not just SWG everything the man gets involved with gets either 1/2 done, ruined or dropped.

    smed sucks yeah, but come on.  people were shitting all over brad mcquaid too until the last 6-9 months of pantheon updates and now people are back on the mcquaid train.  1 guy doesn't make or break everything, it's a team effort.  the game looks cool, if it's not a total microtransaction shitfest i'm in.



    There are no micro transactions. They stated that there will be none.

    While I'd be willing to bet it was the fault of SOE pencil dicks and not John Smedely he has made the exact same promises in the past about games he was in charge of and those promises turned out to be empty. So time will tell.
    Apparently they are organizing the company with a completely different business model. I sincerely hope it is true...

     

    "We got into this business to make great games. We decided to make our business model as simple and fair as possible. There are a lot of great games out there that have microtransactions as a part of them. Many of us on the Development Team have been involved with that business model for years and we decided we wanted Pixelmage Games to be different. Our games will have no microtransactions and they will be reasonably priced. We will offer two versions of Hero's Song. The regular version will be $19.99 and the Deluxe Edition version will be $49.99. The Deluxe Edition includes the soundtrack by Inon Zur, the digital strategy guide and a wallpaper pack. Aside from that there are no differences."

    If it's good it's good. As simple as that.

    Although i'm a bit cautious with believing in "old school", "the game that Smedley wanted to make since forever" and such. Especially old school seems to become a buzzword lately, because it surely attracts genre vets.

    Why taint it by adding perma-death? Devote many hours enjoying yourself in a fun game just to lose it all for no other reason than a perma-death feature added for the hardcores.

    Don't need to copy everything from rogue-like to make a great game, guise.

    Looked at the game read the posts but in the end I can't see why any justification for the labels 'innovative' or 'old school'. It is a game and it will probably release but in the end it is a vanity project. It is just there so Smedley can say, 'see I have still got it' and allow him to delude himself into thinking he is still a major player and not a has been.

    Smed and early access, not touching it until full release.



    Then you will pay more money to play the same game.

    The graphics and animations look far from

    Ambitious


  • AkulasAkulas Member RarePosts: 3,028
    I'll give it a go and see what happens. Worst case scenario waste $15. Which I've done before on bad takeaway. 

    This isn't a signature, you just think it is.

    Stopped being angry about SWG etc. a while ago i guess.
    Doesn't mean i would ever touch a game Smedley has had a hand in though. :o

    Get a fucking grip, did smed do your wife or girlfriend lol. 


    Fucking over the top with this "we will never forgive or forget" lol. 


    Ill play it and ive been playing Smeds games since 99.

    Since when dk you speak for everyone else. 
    For the record, in my opinion John Smedley is the Ron Jeremy of MMOs... He fucked everybody and everybody watched! But that is just my personal opinion.

    Cheers,


    Having an opinion is fine but declaring that you speak for everyone else isn't. 

    All that 'we will never forgive or forget' crap makes you sound like an pathetic melodramatic fool. 


    That's not me calling you a fool its me saying you sound like one, are you a melodramatic fool?

    This game seems very cool for people accustomed to old school mmos and muds. And i see no reason to whine about it not being AAA+ mmo with state of the art graphics, theyre asking for 19.99,not your kidney.

    Looks fun and for the price , ill be checking it out

    $15 for campaign, $19.99 for pre-order and on sale for $10 before they are done with early access.

    Hi,

    You do know I am not toolak right? You seem to be responding to me as if I was the person who stated "we will never forgive or forget" I simply put a bit of humor and inserted my opinion into the conversation.

    I never claimed to speak for everyone as a matter of fact I actually stated the exact opposite by saying that this was simply my opinion. Secondly, considering I  was not the one that said "we will never forgive or forget" I doubt it makes me sound like a melodramatic fool.

    Blindly answering the wrong person with insults makes you, in my opinion, a fool. Armed with just enough information, too little common sense, a burning desire to be right and a keyboard you are a danger but only to yourself.

    Best regards,

    Careful, some gamers might give up a kidney for 19.99$.
