    Give me a solid pa update with a heads up on what's to come. This will allow me to back hr hands down. The game does look like a blast.

    My question to all the haters is...........will you change your tune and back hr if uber shows they're still in it for us, the players?

    Will you still hate and say it's to late,they only did this because of that?

    I say your right, vote with your wallet, but allow the creative genius called uber a chance to redeem themselves.

    Pa is awesome. Unfinished yes,but awesome.

    I think hr could be awesome too. I think it deserves to see the light of day. I also think the players should see a little proof in an update and a lose constructed plan for the future for pa first.

    Let's not be the ones who bit the hand that Fed us awesome rts glory because of bad timing. Instead let's motivate that hand into action.

    Uber can be a company we lean on the next couple decades for cool rts games or we can get all upset over a minor timing error not give them the chance and lose a huge creative force in the rts scene.

    Lets give them a chance. They have heard us.

    When they act accordingly we should let everyone across the net hear it as loudly as they heard our bickering. We should get the game funded and keep this creative giant thriving.

    This also means the giant will have its eyes forward in creation of another rts after hr.

    It's what the giant must do to thrive.

    It is what it is.

    So, shall we give em a shot or what?

    It's great that you're enjoying PA, it really is, I wish I was too.

    But a whole lot of people aren't, and promises of what's to come won't change that.

    Never use the words hater or fanboy or anything related to them if you want to start a discussion, especially not directly in the title.


    With that being said, I agree with you that PA is a great game, but it's sadly also not finished, and that creates some problems. What people currently see is a company that released a kickstarted game without all the promised features. That on its own is already hard enough to explain in this day and age where early access is pretty common. And it gets even harder when you consider that there is no publisher involved telling Uber what to do. They could have simply left PA in early access till all the promised features were done, but they opted to not do that.
    Now Uber started a second Kickstarter and had John Comes pretty much lie to us in the trailer. Granted, it was just one sentence in a 6 minute video but a lie nonetheless, and that doesn't really build confidence. It's okay to be proud of what Uber has accomplished with PA, but you can't say that you "have delivered on it [PA]" when your game still misses important core features such as the option to save or the offline/lan mode and with other stuff like Galactic War just about 50% done. Calling this "delivered" isn't just hard to defend, it's impossible.

    I am willing to give Uber a change, but sadly they set their own deadline for it by starting the new Kickstarter campaign right now. They now have only 29 days left to actually deliver on PA (and to fix a few things with the HR Kickstarter) or I won't back them. That however doesn't mean that I won't be playing their game once it is done, I will probably buy it on Steam as soon as it is finished. I currently just can't justify throwing money at them up front.

    Finish pa, deliver the kickstarter promises, then perhaps i will trust uber with another kickstarter donation. Until then, they are not getting another penny from me

    I'm reading through the SMNC party now, realizing what I'd missed. It makes me feel quite insignificant and inconsequential. Lesson learnt that sadly I already had learnt : you can always learn from your elders.

    I'm sure everything will calm down UBER-SOON!!!

    Urban Dictionary definition
    UBER-SOON, when someone says it's coming soon but in reality it's not.

    Yeah but now we have a new level of sooness... UBER-SOON!!!!

    Also we may need to re-write the definition of "Uber" though because the current definition just doesn't fit.

    Uber
    The ultimate, above all, the best, top, something that nothing is better than.

    I'm proposing

    Uber
    The average, below all, the worst, bottom, something everything is better than.

    Uber has given Uber a bad name.

    I start to believe that when he said "To me the game is very representative of the original vision." what he really meant, is that they made a **** lot of money out of it.

    That's the thing - we did that. It's called Planetary Annihilation. When HR releases I will give the reviews a look. Until then, no thanks; I have more good video games to play than I have time.

    Im starting to get a lil upset myself. October 2014, and I havent even been able to play PA yet at all... Been waiting for offline to come, and yet...nothing...

    If Uber wants to get any funding for me, They better get cracking on PA first...
