Feel like backers got screwed...

[(N☆G) Jackal ★JJ★]

The ID tags on the basic enemies made sense to me.
ID on human corpse, basic cyborg, mutants.... made sense.

An ID tag on a security robot? On a damn Serv-Bot.... how do those make sense?
When I saw that a lot of the backer stuff hadn't been met at launch I really thought that when they finally get added it'd be... more.

Like ACTUALLY uniquely named entities....
In what world does it make sense for a Serv-bot to be holding an ID tag and is suppose to be representing the person on the tag?

I'm not sure why this bothers me so much but damn it just feels like ANOTHER slap in the face to backers.

XD Welcome to video games, sir.

An ID tag on a robot means backers were screwed? I wanted a SS remake and that is what I got, the game is highly rated on Steam. If that is being screwed . . .

There were clear and obvious incentives for donating more money.... I didn't think I had to spell that out for you.

The people who donated $50 barely get less than people who donated $300.... what is not clear about that being screwed?

The only time I've been satisfied with backer rewards was with Wasteland 2. I got everything I paid for, including physical items, when the game came out. None of this "we forgot your name in the credits" or "we'll ship the physical stuff a year later" crap from Nightdive.

Like it just is crazy how the people who devoted so much more than the price of entry, where there were clear incentives got shafted.

And like look I like the ID tags on corpses and mutants... in places it makes sense but I was expecting to see people who paid $500 with the description of

You will be converted by SHODAN. Have a enemy named after you on Citadel Station in the game.

for one of the rewards, the biggest actual selling point for it.... to be well an actual living enemy with a unique name.

And you're going to tell me an already dead Serv-bot with an ID tag counts?


I just don't see how that is not a slap in the face since the only way to get something other than a human corpse which was $350 backing... was to pay $500.

Were you a backer?
Its probably up to the individual backer to decide if they were slapped in the face or not.

I wonder if it hurts a backer when I break these tags into scrap, they clutter my inventory easily and don't stack. It would've been better just to have a view screen in a hallway or office monitor scroll through these names like an easter egg. Kinda like reviewing the names of a bunch of anonymous investors.

I mean regardless if you're a backer or not you should be able to see the issues with this.
As Jackal pointed out already this is ANOTHER slap, not the first one. They already screwed backers before and now this.

The original idea sounded pretty good actually even though I myself am not a fan of this kinda stuff. But to find random ID tags on actual enemies where it makes sense for them to have them, finding a random name attached to the body you just killed is pretty interesting and adds more to it than it just being a nameless enemy.

Again, when it make sense. Which it absolutely does not when you kill a security bot and find a name tag on it. Just why?

Only a backer of this tier would be the one to see if there were issues or not. Everyone else is just guessing.

Maybe they were asked what type of body they wanted their tag on. Who knows? Only them.

I've been leaving them on the bodies to make identification of the corpses easier. The protagonist is a hacker, not a monster. Or at least that's how I think of her.

But the description which already has been posted goes against that.
