I have paid into exaclty 0 kickstarter campaigns ever because I don't like the idea of paying for promises



I will make a single exception here though

Also, they did a great job with the Shadowrun game so I have full faith in this project

I have paid into about 30 KS's so far (shovel knight, G07 gaming, Faust, Epic Card game, Xia, Strike Suit Zero, etc) . Usually less than 6 months late, usually very happy with the results. If you are selective is a great way to bring new and interesting things into reality. Precisely 0 have outright vaporized on me but one or two have taken years more than expected, but they were $5-10 pledges on small gaming companies. If you are willing to take a little risk it is a great program.

I am definitely pledging for this after backing all the HBS Shadowrun campaigns.

I paid into MechWarrior Tactics. Lost my money. I'll wait for completed games from now on.

Well.....there is a huge difference between IGP and Kickstarter.

Now THAT is a mofo King Crab!

Too tall, though. I has a sad that they're carrying on with PGI's skewed perspective. Mechs aren't supposed to be 10 stories tall... the biggest are 10 meters tall. Since those tanks are 3-4 meters tall, the Mechs are way out of scale.

Impressive and awesome, but out of scale.

I really hope the standard backing packages aren't insanely priced.

I did Descent: Underground and EVERSPACE on KS. I might do this too.

I personally haven't been burned by kickstarter before and I certainly hope that this game goes far. The company has done a few games already so that is a good sign that they won't screw everyone out of our money.

Expect it will be inline with previous HBS KS campaigns, something like $15-20 for the base game.

I'm still holding my fingers crossed for Quadrupeds to be included.

Hopefully at least as a stretch-goal and hopefully, if it is a stretch-goal, we shall reach it.

Mechwarrior Online looks like Call of Duty in big robo suits.

Yeah, Biiiiiiig difference between Tactics and this Kickstarter. HBS has successfully delivered three amazing games already, I wouldn't be so concerned here. Especialyl since it's got Weisman working on it too!

*Hello, bank its WarHippy. Remember that credit line we talked about needing? Yeah, it's time, and you might as well start transferring funds from my money market account I'm probably going to need those as well.*

The website just got updated with a date of September 29th, 2015 - the date of their Kickstarter's launch.
Also a new picture

sigh....12 days before more wallet distress.

I need more info before I will drop any cash like when they are planning to go closed Beta. Not buying anymore from PGI for several reasons so If it seems like it won't drag out I may just do it. This twitch/high TTK nightmare PGI has created has lost me most likely for good.

Except this isn't a PGI game.... its a completely different company.

Shortly after (like, in less than a day) the game was first announced, Russ tweeted that PGI is sharing its artwork with HBS for "consistency".

Since when does battletech artwork have consistency?

And Harebrained Schemes has been putting out some quality content lately. Shadowrun is really well-made and a lot of fun.
