No,they didn't say it's B2P from the start. I had this game preordered before they even verified what model they were going for,and i watched every livestream they presented on twitch tv every friday for over a month. Not to mention iv'e been checking out their web site for the last couple of months,and i can tell you that they officially announced the B2P about 3 weeks ago. Stop jumping the gun trying to make someone else look stupid. He made that comment a month ago.

You all have to agree it's a great idea but it needs more publicity

I watched 3 or 4 episodes of the show and my main complaint is that it is a soap opera more than a sci-fi show. It seems formulaic in all it's aspects of writing. For example, there is always the bit of tearjerker at the end of every episode that supposedly makes you care for the people.

They also have a problem with making sense in general. Often someone can easily get out of a situation with a gun to their head. Or when the Albino Lady told that Mexican girl they can always kill her father...

GUYS?! Did anyone of you ever seen this kind of weather in game so far ? It's on 4:09

Without digging the comments: Is it just me, or does the game look better in this video than the final product? I haven't seen any...dynamic weather so far, like rain etc and the final product (at least on pc) does not have such vibrant and nice colors and ambient coloring. I had to install SweetFX to achieve better colors and color correction.

Saint LouIS? With a pronounced S? Man, all this time I've been pronouncing it Lou-EE like any sane person would. Then again this is the same country that pronounces the G in Pittsburgh...

Syfy could win back all ( OK, almost all ) of the viewers they lost during the change from SciFi to Syfy in 2009 - 2010. Just add character development, for heaven's sake. Make them 3 - dimensional !

That's all there is, you are a nobody who follows orders and that's it. If you thought to expect more..you don't get it. I think the most immersion my character got in the game was on the LAST main mission to i'm pressuming season 1. *Spoiler* Cooper talks about getting you a drink because he owes you at least one for what you did for them. That's my involvement in anything other than quest grinding. I just wish there was more than a nod or a glare at the npc's, show some life please!

Got the game on the PS3 last week and finished the main storyline 'so far in the season', i can't find many faults with the game other than the immersion your character has in the 'story'. It's a pick up quest, look pretty, kill some bugs/bandits/robots and plant/recover/find, go back, look pretty some more, you're voiceless, you have no choices to pick, you're a through and through mute, Show SOME sign of a mind in that skull of yours. *Nods at Grant* *Nods at Cooper* Pewpew *Looks at Cass*

"[...] and create a new terraformed planet." No. No it didn't. Terraform is 2 part derivitive - terra meaning earth and form or shape. Terraform means to make like earth. If it makes earth like some alien planet then it is alienformed. Not terraformed.
