NoXTheRoXStaR Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/images/13/apr/jaf1.jpg When it comes to Tbs games (Turn Based Strategy) only XCOM ranks higher than Jagged Alliance on my list. Therefore I feel it's befitting to add this topic to the games forum. Thorondor has already submitted some JA news located in the "Other gaming news" section of Strategy Core. You can click here for that. Keep in mind this is a Kickstarter type funding based game. So it's up to you and me to contribute to this games intial birth of development. "Heading to Kickstarter next week, where it will have a target of $350,000" (USD) I don't find that the amount is a very lofty goal considering the success of other Kickstarters I've personally contributed to;Torment : Tides of Numenera which generated ($3 Million) & Wasteland 2 which damn near generated ($3 Million).The Kickstarter for JA Flashback will reportedly start next week. (I'll post a link when available) I am aware that the last series of JA was disappointing not only to myself but many other people as well. (check the metacritcs for Back in Action and Crossfire) We should contribute to this Kickstarter and be watching the developments with bated breath. -NoX GoodlySn and Vitezsype 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silencer_pl Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I'm guessing because of Turned Base thing. That is at least what turned me on. Is there a chance for SC team to have an interview with the guys making Flashback ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoXTheRoXStaR Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 Update :: As of 5/3/2013 GMT 4:00PMJagged Alliance : Flashback kickstarter has raised $130,035 (USD) with 3,178 backers and 19 days to go!.... Some math....if the first update was at $58,375 and the second at $130,035 which is an increase of around $71,000. (10 days later)Assuming the increase were to remain the same for the next 10 days, we'd have a total of $259.000 with 9 days left needing somewhere around $91,000. Hmmm. -NoX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Last days the flow of backers usually increases. Usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 The "poor" backing is probably because many people are too defensive about JA. Most stick around with the community mods for JA2. Also there were so many fails for recreating JA series. First was that poor Hired Guns, then well mediocre Back In Action. I am keeping my hopes because well I want to see something new in JA series. JA 2 ain't giving the same fun it used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daredevil Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 10 days to go and the projected numbers aren't looking good.

silencer_pl Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Today they gave early access keys to 25$ backers. I've installed the game and right now all I see is global tragedy... It's even worse playable than Back In Action. I haven't read all the development diary's, but if this is to take place when the A.I.M was founded I shouldn't be getting Mercs that were added in Jagged Alliance 2. Some of the voices I think were also re-used from the Back In Action. I'm guessing that the early access has different mission than full campaign but for example the main dude you get control (and any other male merc you get for now) has voice of Raider from BiA. Optimization also extremely sucks. Would you believe that I'm getting 30 FPS on a i7-4770K CPU with R290 GPU? Unbelievable. I somewhere have heard some voices that this game is trash, but with what I saw..... I don't know if even hope can help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalash Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 @ silencer_pl: No, the game is not good as JA fan's desire doesnt mean it's a trash game. Game is funded. In case someone missed it : https://www.kickstart...ck/posts/467693https://ymlp.com/zt6n1ebut only 368,614$, much less than Wasteland 2 kickstarter( 3 mil $) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoXTheRoXStaR Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Well this is a very sad day. Did you know that as of right now you can get this game off of Steam for a petty $14.99? You know I was going to write a review of this game, but every time I start the game to use visual references it rips parts of my soul out!So begins my drunken rant. Seriously? What the fuck were they thinking when they made this game? Were they thinking? Did anyone of these piece of fucking shit morons ever go up to the producer and say, "You know sir, I've been a long time fan of the Jagged Alliance series and I don't think a lot of our investors would like this or that". NO. They probably were all like, "Hey boss, since this game wasn't funded very strongly, let's fuck our backers and release a half-ass game and the box artist can stamp Jagged Alliance all over it like they did with the shitty Wild Fire". They basically spit on the face of any fan of the Jagged Alliance franchise...ha, and I use the word "franchise" loosely because the only people that got this series right was the Canadian team of Sir-Tech and they of course are dead and buried which is the current status of that company. I don't feel too bad, I started this topic. You can click here to read exactly how I feel about this game. -NoX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 NoX? Did you change your nick? Which review is yours? And how many games did you really play? Asking as many reviews at Steam have like an hour of registered play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoXTheRoXStaR Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Yes, I shortened it. I didn't do a review on Steam, I did a rant here at home/S.C. I've played this game for about roughly 4 hours. As far as how many games have I really played....well my best estimate would be in the thousands. Games I finished to completion would be in the hundreds. Why, are you doubting me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 SV because an hour is more than enough to dislike this game. As a Kickstarter backer I feel ripped off. I can't even find words to describe how bad this game was made. They have promised something awesome but delivered a poo in a bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Why, are you doubting me? Not doubting you, but I have seen many people create an opinion very fast and change it later based on seeing more of the game. Four hours usually presents a large chunk of a playthrough though, so you'd know if you like the game at least a bit. @Silencer: Yes, Kickstarter. As a backer of several projects I'm sure I'll get this feeling of being ripped off about a few, too. Even The Mandate, that I eventually backed, is still updating us with ideas only, instead of showing more of actual work being done. Sooner or later, we'll all have to either accept the risk of paying in advance or simply not do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four hours usually presents a large chunk of a playthrough though, so you'd know if you like the game at least a bit. Well S.V. my friend I am not many people. When I give a to a game it's because I absolutely feel the game is;Below standardsRushed out of productionMeant to be milked (Destiny-Borderlands-Madden-Call of Duty, etc) I am very critical of the Jagged Alliance series because it was one of many games that got me into gaming. The others of course being X-COM,Heroes of Might & Magic, Command & Conquer and Master of Orion. And we all have seen the shit series they've become.(Minus XCOM, I actually quite enjoyed it) Ha! So you must understand I was hoping Jagged Alliance Flashback was going to ...how do I say... reignite my faith in classic strategy. Silencer was correct when he said that many people didn't need to play it more than an hour to dislike it. Which is true, as I write this I've played about 6 hours of it and I don't think I'll be playing it again...A lot of reviews of a game are posted with lopsidedness. So I can understand your concern when people have played it very a short time. -NoX Space Voyager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
