General Godus discussion

This kind of monetesation seems so much less... douchetastic?
The best part of Crossy Road? I didn't have to play a 20 minute monetisation grooming session tutorial to prep me on how to crossie the roadie. 10/10, would get again.

As disheartening and demotivating as it is - perhaps you (And more importantly, the rest of the cans that feel the same way.) can now understand how it felt for all the backers and supporters that have been on board since the start. Hearing promise after promise and seeing nothing come of it.

That feeling you feel right now? That feeling that people really don't care and that what you do doesn't really matter at all?
Yea... Thats the feeling we've felt pretty much ever since Godus has been in Early Access and even stronger so since the mobile focus became evident.
Yes, this is your genuine chance to prove your intent. I just hope (for you guys) that its not completely too late to recoup some of that lost credibility.
Godus always has had a ton of untapped potential. Thats still the case. Its just a matter of getting it out and getting it to the right audience.

Probably this. I suspect many people limit themselves to maybe three or so consistent sources of info per area (i.e. maybe three networks for televised news, three sites for net/gaming news, etc.). I know when exceeding that amount it can grow cumbersome to monitor unless you configure filters for more specific topics of interest (e.g. series/franchise updates, reveals/launch/new, discovery/breakthrough/success, etc.).

You know, when I put it like that, I really ought to have my RSS feeds configured in roughly that way by now...Maybe at some point. By the way, I've mostly been relying on RSSOwl for my feeds, how's Feedly for more particular customization of feed content sorting? Any chance you've looked into it? =O

One could also read a magazine like PC Gamer.

If you only read one videogaming news blog, I highly recommend VG24/7. It's the fastest with updates and covers a good spectrum of both product and industry news.

The problem with Destiny is there's no local co-op.

j/k but serious. 

I could even do w/o the story. Don't get me wrong, I generally go for story-based games as a rule, but nobody plays Halo for the story. I played through the first 3's co-op campaigns with my boyfriend, and we still look back fondly on fighting back waves of the Flood together. And laugh at how ridiculous and incomprehensible the story was. 

I managed to play about half an hour of the Destiny beta, and was mildly impressed – I didn't think I'd go for the always-online MMO-ish design, but it was pretty fun. I have no idea what the story was about, or if there even was a story. All I can say is that if there were local co-op, I would've bought it as soon as it came out. Without it, we either need to buy two copies of the game and an extra console or one of us would need to go over someone else's house just so we could play the game together.

Briefly, I entertained the idea of buying one copy for PS3 & one for PS4 (once we get around to buying one), but even that wouldn't work. It's like they don't want my money.

The problem with Destiny is that it exists. All other problems stem from that.

This isn't a problem exclusive to Destiny - its a problem with many titles these days.
Its a bit of a shame that the "solution" they found/created to getting people to play their games is exclusives bound to consoles...

I'm still very much of the opinion that consoles are overpriced compared to PC's (especially when you compare functionality and flexibility).
Oh sure, a PC needs a bit more maintenance, but its really not that bad when you realize that consoles get issues just the same and then you often have to send it back for weeks or even months...
PC, especially these days with games going on sale 6~12 months after release, is more affordable than ever.

I find that most consoles have only a few titles that I'd consider worth playing.
And to get a €300~400 device for that just is silly. Especially when it comes with such limited and clumsy controls (sorry, not a fan of the gamepad).
While I never got to play the later HALO games (console exclusives...) - I also played HALO and various other shooters for their single player / campaign elements.
Not their multiplayer focus.

Repeating the same maps in multiplayer just doesn't hold my attention for long.
Better a good story and well-created world than a map I can run around in shooting random people over and over for some K/D ratio or score.
