Having this thread pop up makes me wish Ashes of the Singularity doesn't launch like this game did.
Wouldn't think so.
From really wierd coding issues like basic save/load problems to very questionable community relations, PA is an EXTREME example of how wrong developement of a game can go IMO.
Stardock have a very good track record. I really like RTS games and if I could afford to buy into the alpha build right now I would. Sadly right now it's not possible for me.
There were bugs everywhere, and the tutorials were of poor-quality. Planetary Annihilation's flaws were of a scale to its ambitions, and while it developed a passionate following, it always felt like there was a better game somewhere inside Planetary Annihilation, buried beneath a poor interface and a hurried release.
A year later, and Uber Entertainment have unearthed that better game.
On the other hand, you can't deny that it is a failed Kickstarter. It did actually pull through.http://www.pcgamer.com/planetary-annihilation-titans-resurrects-a-flawed-rts-and-its-out-today/
Oh, you mean the game it SHOULD of been that people paid for and never actually got..so now lets release a "new" version of the game which is really 99% of the old game but we added some bigger robots now so it is "new" and not a patch so we can charge for it. And on top of that already have various issues with the game....cause our QA is just "ubertastic"
I might buy Ashes sometime next month. If I do I'll toss you a coupon. Like you, I don't like spending $50 on a game. I love sales! But the allure of playing with DX12 is very strong.

3Q2015: Founder's Program Phase II. Benchmark build made available to public, basic single player AI is now in (good enough to provide a reasonable challenge already). Map editor tools provided. Official DirectX 12 build (the map editor won't work on DX 12 yet though). Founders will get coupons for additional keys to share with their friends to help us build up the community.

How many Kickstarters really pull through?
Hey everyone. I just started this game up last night for the 1st time after buying it months and months ago. When I started it however, I didn't see a tutorial anywhere. Is there one in-game?
the base game was crap is was just one massive blob of stuff vs a blob of stuff
How does this compare to TA and SupCom? I really liked those games so am wondering if I'd like this one.
For sure, the game could be awesome and i own PA and i have enjoyed it for the times the game actually worked (local server.. how long did that take)
But these dev's need to deliver on what they promised people from the kick starter even..
SupCom FA is still fantastic.
I wish someone would just re-build SA to handle 64bit/multi-threading/be more efficient on modern hardware. One of my favorites of all time.
Ashes of the Singularity is coming soon.

Where is chris taylor when you need him? I hope hes doing something with the total annihilation IP bc hes the only one that has been able to truly deliver on the next gen RTS front. I wish this game could have made it thru development...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB-Xdee1nN8
Tried PA:T over the week-end. Same AI issues - opponent builds an million unit flying army, has no way to move it off the planet, hogs down CPU resources. Sound output starts to distort pretty quickly with large battles. But at least now there's a way to break them using 50 orbital pew-pewer and factories to build a titan.
"Normal" difficulty is a joke, "Hard" is easy. If you got a general commander, you can crank it on the galactic war all the way up.. with 2 AI team-mates there's no difficulty whatsoever.
In any case, not sure how dev can justify this being a stand-alone game and not a 5 buck DLC.
