Oh, that sucks :(. I was really looking forward to this one... Guess I'll have to take it off the wishlist then.

Was about to comment the exact same thing haha. That and the terrible PacMan port :D

Quoting: ArehandoroI wish this game is at least half as good as The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief.

Same! :)

But with at least half as many graphical quirks.

I'm glad Divinity got at least some recognition, despite being so late in the game - it's absolutely fantastic. I'm surprised people love Cities Skylines so much to be honest... I really felt like it sucked all the character out of one of my favourite genres and replaced it with drab and dull northern European "regeneration" type city planning. It was possibly the biggest let down of the year for me, but then I knew I was going to be hard to please with a city builder.

Also, I'm glad someone took the job from removing Broken Age from every single category - apparently someone's idea of a sick joke.

Never got a chance to play this after the update to Unity 5. I'll try it out again soon, really enjoyed it the first time round.

Quoting: scaineI thought the video was superb. It's a real shame it's made by a GamerGate supporter (and general misogynist judging from his twitter feed - assuming not all GamerGaters are misogynists, I suppose).

Yes, it's a shame. But like you say, the video was very good, and thus shouldn't be discredited by association.

Honestly, I would love to see a good piece of investigative journalism into DF. I'm most curious of all really where the $3 million (and much more than that if you consider the first $3 million was only for half a game) was spent for Broken Age considering I've seen much bigger adventure games with much higher production values made at a fraction of the cost.

My suspicions with DF is that the company are like someone who's "living paycheck to paycheck", waiting for the next influx of cash to get by since money is being leaked everywhere. I've never seen a company that has had so many kickstarter projects in development in one go and so many in such a short period of time. I would really love to look into the financials of this company, since they make less and less sense as time goes on and eventually I think a few things may come to light.

Quoting: neffo(76 metacritic if that means anything)

It's not particularly good and Massiva Challice has similar reviews. They're both terrible games. If the Steam returns system had been around then, I would have returned both.

What DF relies on is a "hey, we're your buddies" kind of demeanour to attract a cult-like devotion from fans who will defend any legitimate criticism online. Putting dodgy financials to once side, I would understand this mentality if they were pumping out great games relentlessly, but it is very clear by this point that the company is a one trick pony.

Good year, and may 2016 be the Year of Linux Gaming.

First ever new year doing absolutely nothing for me! Can't be bothered with that stuff. Still another 3 and a half hours to go in Argentina though. Might play a bit of Divinity: Original Sin later and hopefully i'll be in the right frame of mind for a CRPG since Pillars just didn't do it for me.

Nice to see one of my articles there :)

Also, 57k is insane! Though I guess that was pretty much the biggest news of the year, was a massive surprise at the time.
