Honestly, it's refreshing to see someone actually brainstorm solutions to these problems rather than just telling people to get mad. It's a long shot but a legal win in any major market could see business practices start to change. Like when the EU revamped its privacy laws and suddenly every website gives you the option to reject some of their tracking cookies. Or whatever the impact of China's new regulations on spending in games actually ends up being. It's worth the effort at the very least.
I was going to be all over this, especially as having the original PS4 disc edition gets me a cheap upgrade. But after watching the Digital Foundry video, I don’t think it’s actually worth it. Unless you really want the bonus material, get the original cheap and let it apply the PS5 patch.
Everything I’ve seen so far of this game just looks so…OK. The graphics are pretty, but that’s the least important part in an RPG for me. I really want this game to be good, I loved Pillars of Eternity and while this isn’t a sequel, it’s still set in the same world. I agree with the common opinion that the combat looks pretty weak, none of the attacks had any impact. I hope they surprise me, but so far this gives me a “pick up on sale for 20$ or less” feeling.
You can still play the game offline and single player just fine. Multiplayer has never been a core feature for my playthroughs. I don’t think it ever worked particularly well.
I liked the first one alright but I remember it being a bit easy, and putting it down for rim world, a much more challenging game in the same vein. Guess I’ll wait and see on this one.
I think the artstyle is ok in a vacuum. It does look bad if you look at it as a direct sequel of prison architect 1. As for paradox, it would be a new low for them if they managed to fuck up the performance for this game by releasing it early, the only problem I can really see are bugs and they usually aren’t gamebreaking (for the pdx games I’ve played at launch - c:s2 and vic3). I just hope it isn’t treated as a cash grab by the higher ups. As long as they don’t release it before it is ready the game will be fine, but we know paradox will crunch the developers to release early. I’m mainly just worried about the dlc.
Idk I think the new art style is good. They probably didn’t want it looking like Rimworld anymore and wanted to have 3D for the verticality that was lacking in the original.
It looks a lot like Prison Architect. What’s up with that?
Blame my (Tynan’s) lack of art skill - especially with characters. I made the character art you see in the trailer as a stopgap, and borrowed the Prison Architect style because I’m not a good enough artist to develop a new one. They were never intended to be final. With this Kickstarter, we’ll be able to get a real artist who can sit down and develop an original style for RimWorld.
I’ve talked with the original Prison Architect artist, Ryan Sumo, and he’s fully supportive of RimWorld. We didn’t share any art or code with the PA guys.
