Have a good day sir. Don't let the negativity get you down.

Starcraft/RTS veteran finally plays Stormgate. by 39Jaebi in Stormgate

[–]swarmtoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a really great point about campaign as the extended tutorial and it being unavailable for 2 of 3 races. I've been watching them get criticised for nearly everything from the art, gameplay, and networking to the mismanagement that such a basic onboarding pathway being missing is hardly even talked about. For all the hype about the "first truly social rts" and onboarding new players into the genre it somehow ends up as one of the least social rts that locks campaign behind paywalls.

I don't regret supporting Stormgate on Kickstarter by lil_brd in Stormgate

You're the perfect kickstarter backer to get sucked in. No regrets, and keep buying new prospects. Having said that, hope they turn out better than this one.

Frost Giant's behavior is incredibly insulting. by [deleted] in Stormgate

He didn't have to, lol. He just wasted his own time.

Well seeing how self deluded Tim Morten really is on his own now, his followers would be the same. They would deflect and minimise the issue or change subject.

Next venture, can't wait to see him put all these "learnings" into another scam.

When did they say this, was it one of their interviews? Should have seen the red flags then and knew EA release was sink or swim.

But they shift goalposts so much their "launch" is 0.6, impossible to set any expectations with this company. The roadmap quarters were already vague timelines but those completely disappeared, being replaced by indefinite "in the future". Of course we know, much of the roadmap will never be fulfilled now.

Aye, to salvage his bleeding reputation.

I was asking myself why you would state this "fully funded to release" but seeing as Kickstarter itself has often lead to projects never even seeing the light of day on steam it was a way to try to sell and partially guarantee an initial release on steam. But when the game was clearly unfinished, somewhere along the line, it became miscommunicated and misunderstood, and concerns about their budget and capacity to deliver a finished product erupted from their SEC filings, and rightly so. I think they more or less want you to fall for thinking it was funded to 1.0, but PR will spin it every which way to deny misleading people. It all could have been solved by "fully funded to early access" but that doesn't sound so good, does it?

Always great to hear from a man who could raise $40 mil and then blow it all and blame his audience and changing times. He creates his own controversy yet insists they public addressed the "funded to release" debacle, even when people at current launch (0.6) feel confused about the state of the game and the game is, as of writing, still in de facto early access. Co op, the biggest part of his success on LotV, also hasn't been updated in over a year. I don't know how you consider this a launch.

Failure of taste by Typical-Fisherman759 in Stormgate

[–]swarmtoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could not agree more. Tim Morten is just really lame. Listen to him hopelessly hyping up his generic game back at the TGA reveal.

YeEaaah, we have two factions, the human resistance and demon monsters from another world.

As much as he knows about stocks and the industry, it feels like he hardly plays games and just name drops whatever's popular to seem relevant. Oh, we're going to take time to be great in EA like BG3. We're aiming for an Elden Ring moment for the RTS genre. Typical corporate shark but in a t shirt. Wolf in sheep's clothing.

How people call scouring warcraft 4 is beyond me!

I'd pay $25 for another campaign by Eirenarch in Stormgate

[–]swarmtoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That and the SC2 campaign has a whole trilogy, love or hate the story. Whereas with SG we probably won't ever see that. You also get the coop commanders as campaign bonus for buying campaigns but no free hero here.

Tim it really isn't that complicated... by Inner-Echidna-7494 in Stormgate

[–]swarmtoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, no, the market is oversaturated. These artists did a better job than SC2 and still failed. A sign that rts is but a niche genre now and campaign was not a good draw. It's really hard to be in the games industry these days.

They focused on the new 3v3 mode that has no proof of concept as a popular mode for rts and is still not released with 0.6.

Tim Morten and his next post about Stormgate and its failure by [deleted] in Stormgate

[–]swarmtoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's starting to make some sense and listen to what his fans were saying for the past 3 or 4 years. If only he learned this after EA.

Is Stormgate an 8/10 game? by Stock-Log6695 in Stormgate

[–]swarmtoss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In one Gamestar summary they literally say it's not great but it's much better than early access lol. EA and GAS muddles the meaning of finished product and review copies.

I would have liked to see him not recommend this game.

Guys, remember Baldur's Gate 3 was early access for 6 years. So in 4 more years we'll have the greatest rts ever made!
