Looks really really cool, but - sigh - why do every indie RPG have to be turn-based?
I'm sure some will now slap some real-time indie RPG titles on the table but seriously, they are in the clear minority. Turn based totally dominates on the smaller RPG scene.
Why? Is it cause it's easier to design/program?

I could go on. TV channels, streaming services, DVDs, you're not entitled to any of these offerings. But with video games it's different? Get out of here. Real life doesn't work that way.

Quoting: emphyWhy? It costs 60-80 USD - often more - to go to the most popular concerts today. By far no all can afford that. Is that offensive too? Or the movies. Or theatres. They all cost, and for many it's too much. Is that wrong? Do they have the moral rights to break into these arenas if they can't afford the admission fee?you’re not entitled to anything.Sorry, but this is extremely offensive. Blocking off people from cultural activities because of their financial situation or location is simply wrong.

Everyone must play Rocket League all the time every day. I look forward to Deus Ex but this game practically holds the GOTY in its hands already.

Reviewing something is a craft, just like journalism, artistry or most other crafts. It's NOT just about opinion. It's about experience and insight into what's being reviewed, the ability to place the product in the right spot in a landscape of that category. To see BEYOND personal opinion and be able to communicate the essence of the product reviewed so that the audience can make their own decisions.
Just because you CAN doesn't mean you're good at it. And a solid review requires a lot of things, most of which amateurs don't have any kind of awareness about. And why should they? They are just random people on the Internet.

Quoting: EhvisI don't find that those "pro" reviews have any more value than the "amateur" ones.This is a widespread misconception and one that frustrates me to quite a degree.

Quoting: EhvisIt's difficult what to make of the reviews. This game has a pretty low rating, but most of the reviews on the front page are positive. Which contrasts quite a lot with "Valley", which has a very high rating but quite a few bad reviews on the front page.Word of advice: Ignore amateur "reviews", read real reviews to make up your mind. You'll find them on the metascore sites, for example here:

The big question is: How's the community on this game? Are there many players online today? Will there be many players the coming months?
