Battles of King Arthur

If this game is anything better than utterly mediocre I am gonna be so over this! I think it looks fantastic. I love the boardgame look to it.

Have no idea if the gameplay will be compelling. It's certainly hitting the right itches with me in the description, but I guess we'll have to wait and see what the execution is all about.

Looks like new date is now September 2014....you can even pre-order for about $42.....has a trailer on this link too, does interest me....but since unknown and has been delayed multiple times, this will be one that I wait for release.

Still looks very good. I like the boardgame look of it.

^ +1.

I don't see any reason to pre-order it though. I'll wait and see what the reviewers have to say. It certainly looks like a must-buy to me, though.

42.00 seems a little high unless there is some kind of uber sandbox mode.

That's my feeling, and that's the discounted price. In today's market this strikes me as more of a $20 or $30 title. It's not exactly AAA.

Yeah...I am sure it will go on sale not too far after release, like everything else.

Grim.Reaper · June 02, 2014, 05:40:17 PM

Yep, no preorder for me...still suspicious of this one:)

Looks like a specific date of September 12th picked right now for steam release....will be interested to see if this turns out to be any good.

I'm interested, but I wonder if they're still going to price it at $49.99 at release. This isn't 1998, you know.

Pre orders already bein taken for $42 so that likely is the release price since does not mention discount.

Price is a bit rich for my blood too. Game does look good though.

I hope its not a re-skinned Chess.

Yes, it does resemble a chess board in this video:

I wouldn't be worried about the lack of advertising at this point, release is very far away. Not everybody is SOE and hypes up games not much beyond the concept stage (Everquest Next).

I am not worried from an advertising perspective, although it is really not that far away, just about a month from their published release date (9/12). Much more hoping it just turns out to be a fun good game.
