I think your comments are especially on point as rulebooks have come so far over the last 40 years. There is no excuse for not having an efficient, well organized, concise, well illustrated rulebook with player aids. I am reading the rulebook to B17 Queen if the Skies and remembering what a task it was to read all the text in those old war games. I have both the Modern and WWII versions of Warfighter, but won’t be delving into Fantasy. I’ll just stick with my old Pathfinder deck building game.
Good call
Realy sad because this game looks like something i would love. Thank you for keeping us in the loop.
I hope something goes right with this but as of now I just don’t think it will happen
Thanks for putting this up. I didn't back it because of the price point and I figured I would pick it up at retail. Then , I heard nothing but delays and the endless amount of rules complaints. Now we're here, what six months later , and it still sounds like we've got rules issues? Totally unacceptable for a company with their track record.
I agree
This game looked so good and couldn't wait to get it. Thank God for your channel, because I watched your first review and didn"t buy it. Your channel and some others that I watch really help me decide if I want to purchase a game or not. Also, congratulations on the new additions to your family. They are so cute. See you in the next video.
Thank you my brother!
Warfighter armies are supposed to be interchangeable from era to era. It was part of the original design criteria.
And dumb at best
The outright refusal to hire professionals to do any editing on rules etc has really killed their polish. I watched the guy who is the lead designer for the air leader games and he seems to have a good grasp on things. Hes outside the family. They need more help like that esp in the graphics design, editing, and operational aspects. And slow down the pipeline if you cant handle as much.
Very true
Original Warfighter was such a clean easy to play system that carried so much theme. I my opinion, all they had to do was “fantasyify” the skills and weapons, throw in thematic baddies and locations and your off.
Why they felt they needed to go in and change every aspect of the game from suppression to combat range to baddy damage is just beyond me. Once they started showing off new mechanics I lost hope.
Train wreck for sure
Where I think they went wrong is that they had an idea for a system, but they didn’t fully flesh it out before they started releasing core modules years ago. I got in on the modern titles, and watched over years while they adjusted the rules again and again, clearly trying to shoehorn them into a fantasy game that that they hadn’t thought through from the beginning. I have a whole core box of cards for the modern core games that were replaced. The system got to be so confusing I shelved it a couple years ago and haven’t played it at all. Didn’t pledge for any of the last three titles in the series. Have better things to do with my time and money.
Amen
Yeah, this one is a bummer. Warfighter WWII is one of my favorites... I have the footlocker box stuffed with cards for it.
Just sad
This is so sad. I love to play my Warfighter WWII.
Me too
I own, and enjoy Warfighter Modern but never really got the appeal of the cross-era compatibility. I'd like to try WW2 Warfighter but have no desire to see how a WW2 squad would stand up to today's armies (spoiler warning - not well) and certainly don't want to see how Aragorn would battle an M1 Abrams. The whole cross-compatibility contributes to the rulebook being a mess.
On another note, I don't think I've ever experienced a Kickstarter where they say they need more time to "perfect the product" and it actually came out better - do have high hopes for Maladum though.
I’m done with them this is a train wreck
I went all in on the kickstarter. Talk about wasting money. I almost went in on the Warfighter Vietnam. Backed out as soon as I tried to play Warfighter Fantasy. I think I made a wise decision.
I do as well
Depressing and so disrespectful to their fans. Like many, I have spent a ton of $$$ on their products. You don’t treat loyal customers like that. I was so looking forward to this but grateful for the multitude of honest coverage of how bad it is
I wish I knew what went wrong there
I dont have this but do have the WWII Warfighter. I've felt ripped off a bit on a few of my newest games. Mostly its the careless rule writing and mass errata. I know its a task to write a solid set of rules but come on...getting the turn phases wrong? Its unacceptable IMO. I'm pretty sure my money, which they have isn't flawed in any way. Is it REALLY too much to ask to put out a clear, concise and error free rulebook?! Get some fresh eyes on it! Im ranting...thanks Rob and its A-OK to give criticism when its fair and deserved!
you are 100% correct!! and thank you!
Yeah, it's clear by now that DVG don't even play the games they publish, let alone playtest them. And they don't even care. It's like they're selling the business and doing the absolute bare minimum until then.
Good point
Don't know what it is, but around the time Sarah left DVG, they seemed to head downhill. It's a shame. The people have always been good to me, and they normally put out good games.
Not anymore
This is one turkey that i am glad i didn't back. I think they have finally milked the warfighter product to death, and they wanted one last kick at the can. For me, it was the art....so bad. At least the regular warfighter uses photos, and has a decent look to it. In as much as i would have rather had Vietnam era over the previous Mediterranean edition...I am done with DVG.
Me too I get even madder when I think about to be honest
Manchester United scarf. Top man.
You know it!
@@seahawk8601 I am from Manchester and I am a United fan.
Glad for your channel Rob. You saved me money. Glad I didn’t buy it.
Then I have done my job
I was so turned off by the one sentence "updates" they would send out, that were such an insult to backers. Then to finally receive the game and it be a mess. DVG really shot themselves in the foot with this. I'm done with them
I’m afraid I am as well
I backed this and the delays were pathetic. The worse thing was the demeaning treatment given in the updates. I am sure someone from DVG will be jumping here since they are quick to respond when negativity is brought to the forefront. Its amazing that this is ignored yet they have the time to spam my mailbox with new campaigns. From the kickstarter updates I can only piece together that the only playtesters were the son, his wife and the pet dog.
Where is Dan? Dan never let things get to this in the past he really tried to give a superior product …..I just don’t get it
@@seahawk8601 Haha. He did post in your original video stating they were working on a revision
