HQ Bros....is this true? :cry:
Back when I played the demo - yes, it was nothing like a crpg. It was real time combat game where you would cycle through your characters and have a vagrant-story like system where you'd stop time and get a shimmering sphere to show you the attack distance of your current weapon. It was difficult to manage the party since control limited you to one character at a time. Perhaps this was changed.

Looks awesome. The art reminds me a bit of Wallace and Gromit and that one movie with the chickens that are trying to escape. Claymation is underappreciated.

I actually really like the look. I appreciate deliberate art direction over Unity/Unreal attempts at "photorealistic" slop. Wishlisting this one and keeping an eye out for the full release.

Updates are looking pretty nice, I bought the game very early on but it was pretty basic and content was a void. Enjoyed what I experienced, just needed more and a heavy duty of polishing. Honestly, just relieved to have something to play that isn't a ******* carbon copy of something else.

The critters look ugly in a fairy tale kind of way, not that they're ugly out of spite against Good Things. I'm still confused what sort of game this is...

Didn't assume it was a real shot, but now I appreciate it a lot more. And now that there's a good bit available I hope to finally get around to playing it. At the time I last played there was two zones and and some annoying bugs, but that was a few days after the EA launch. I'm very curious how much of the core systems have been tweaked since then.

I think it looks great. Now I'll wait for gamer's reviews to know if it's hiding anything shady, like **** and *******. If it's safe, I'll buy it full price.

That'll make it easier to vote on whatever comes afterwards since there'll only be about three entries on the poll.

Some updates. Nothing too big. Just putting them here in case anyone is worried about the lack of updates.
