Should we Kickstart the Past?

[MephistoZX]

I don't think the criticism was overblown. Broken Age 2 used most if not all of the same backgrounds from Act 1. The ending was Mass Effect 3 levels of "what?" and "that's it?". And it was a short game that took over 1.5 years. It's the thought of "we're shelling out money for this thing we enjoyed originally and this is what we got?" I'm trying to think of a comparison but I can't do it. Also, Act 2 was part of original game, it was Double Fine's decision to break it up.

Plus there's original's overestimated time on the original, which is summed up pretty nicely here:

But I only bring it up because Broken Age, combined with some of Jason's fears, make me leary of kickstarter. I mean, yes, these are the types of games I want to see. I want another Banjo Kazooie, I want another Mega Man, I want another Castlevania. But it's that hesitancy that is inherit in an idea, and not an finished product you can research which gives me pause. I'll probably support both, but I'm just really leary of it.
