CCC says: "It's hard for me to imagine that Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded, the remake of a title that was originally built on a vague promise of pixilated nipples, could survive the trip through time. But the folks over at Replay Games, backed by a slew of Kickstarter supporters, are obviously less skeptical."
Gamepressure: You know that feeling when your favorite game is getting panned by critics? So do we; that's why we've prepared a list of games that – despite mediocre reviews at launch – are adored today.
Serena Nelson writes: "Here's the thing. Despite there being so many adventure game projects, they're still a small part of crowdfunding games as a whole. It's also an incredibly niche genre compared to shooters and RPGs. Which means that unless you're asking for a fraction of what you really need chances are good that you'll end up not making it. Outside of titles like Broken Age, Dreamfall Chapters and Obduction, none have breached seven digits."
Serena Nelson writes: "Kickstarter is well-known for being a platform to get ideas funded by fans and without the need to have a publisher breathing down their collective necks. And while it should be enough to give from the kindness of one's own heart there still needs to be a carrot dangling from the stick to make backers reach deep into their wallets. And that's where the reward tiers come into play."
I really want to play it.
I loved the originals, when I was a kid.
Sometimes the very nature of Kickstarting a game or project is for the devoted fans. Its great to share, but without their support there wouldn't be any LSL reboot to criticize. There should be some praise to the Kickstart program, and the contributors as well as the devs. For bringing the best product they cold produce from planning to completion.
