There is a lot of little things I like here.

Quote

We don’t like complicated Kickstarters, so we’ve made this one as simple as possible. There is just one pledge level for gamers, and one pledge for retail stores.

As the campaign progresses, some stretch goals will unlock an ‘Add-On’ which is an optional item to purchase; to buy one of these, simply increase your pledge amount. This also drives the campaign total up thereby unlocking even more stuff!

The best bit is that every 'non Add-On' stretch goal that gets unlocked during the campaign will be included in your pledge! So the more people that support the project, the more goals get unlocked, the more value we can squeeze in, and the bigger the box we're going to need!

We don't have multiple pledge levels, except for when we do!

All the models and stuff is stuff that is either super neutral or explicitly DS1 or DS3.

Also general "get gud dont' button spam scrub" nonsense all in a game that doesn't actually teach from repetition and is massively randomised.

This 100% is created by internet Dark Souls Fans hive mind.

$80 sight unseen for a game that's baking a chunk of its price into minis. Thx but nothx.

Hah. You made it further than me. I saw the words "cooperative" and gave up.

I want to hunt hollows and steal humanity.

Oh yeah there is masturbation there about being teh hardcorz and then it being coop.

That said someone is going to buy it for $80 and never play it with anyone because they are xXxThEReElDaRkSoUlxXx and coop is for casuls.

Let's be honest: they'll never play it with anyone because they don't have any friends.

Dark Souls : the board game is like Fast and Furious: The book.

Oh my god how did these guys raise half a million pounds already

What they're not telling anyone is that when people start a co-op game, a GPS device goes off that notifies other random players to go to their house and wreck their shit.

Eh. That I disagree with. There have been far dumber concepts that have produced excellent games (Puzzle Strike, Yomi, and BattleCon all jump to mind).

You are basically saying that most stupid sounding idea can turn out great.
Which is right, and a Fast & Furious book could also potentially turn out great.

I'm just saying that none of the strengths of Dark Souls can translate to a board game format

Seriously if there are no youtube videos of people playing the game then having their apartment trashed by dudes in red and black...I will be severely disappointed.

I would almost want to buy the game just to film a review and do this. :p

Does it involve them rocking up with a boom box and Drowning Pool - Bodies on cassette?

I think I should hire you to write the review.

You will not respond to them until one of them can't find a spare power point for it, they will interrupt the interview with a "Uh hey sorry man, I know you are doing something, but do you have a spare outlet?" (Because you are fuckign filthy americans who call things the wrong names) and its just a vague, "try over there" sort of thing.

Then the spiderman mask gets pulled down and card tables being flipped begins in the background.

Took me a minute to figure out why you would be looking for a Microsoft Office product because I am a filthy American.

Don't listen to them. They eat Marmite, you know.

Grefter · « **Reply #1217 on:** April 21, 2016, 04:45:30 AM »

When I am a billionaire I am going to overinvest in being able to get plumbing in a moving platform so that I can build a toilet in an elevator.

My humour is some next level shit.

Marmite is Brits and Kiwis. We eat Vegemite which is the same thing by saltier.
