Guess they figure now that they've released Update 2 they might as well try to get as many sales as possible and maybe increase their review score.

"Ultima Underground"... makes sense.

Planescape: Tarmac

Planetscape is better.

"From the creators of acclaimed Underworld Ascendant comes their next project.."

Who publishes their next game ?

 

[Taxnomore]

Their next game can only be even better.

It is over.

The score is improving: 37% positive overall, 45% recent. I can see it settling at 40-41% and getting a permanent "mixed" rating.

And it's got 40 active players, the most since launch.

...and down deeper, deeper into the abyss they went.

Also: never noticed how awkward and painful Will "Horsefaced Snow White" Teixeira's body language can be. Sheesh.

Calling it great or brilliant is quite an overstatement.
I'd call it better. Anything beyond that is probably battered housewive syndrome.

The main quest line is still mostly just a key hunt. What I positively noted though, is that you'd find a key and backtrack through areas where you'd need them before.
So there are a couple more closed metal gates around and there is an actual reward behind them. At least in Upper Erebus.

They sure are gonna save their precious game, allright

Is Razorfist personally invested in the game or something?

 

[unfairlight]

He's just a unhealthy LGS fanboy. I guess he did pay money in the Kickstarter though. He's the type of person who will never admit anything wrong with their games, which isn't far off from some people here to be honest.
