Have you run into any? For me it's this one...

The concept has so much going for it that after I got done geeking out and took a closer look I wanted to yank it away from them and give it to a really good game crew. At first it looks like they have everything under control, but once you look closer you realize their problems.

1. While I love the concepts of the villains they've come up with, we're still not given a good idea of who these characters are. We know where they come from, and in the professors case his motivations, but we don't really know them as characters, and when you check out the heroes you realize they started getting a bit lazy. anybody who looks at the hero designs can see that they're just rip offs of famous heroes, or hero teams. Now on one hand they may have done this to create an impact as you kill heroes you know and love. But most likely they got lazy, and if they are going for the former there is a good chance of backlash. I know I don't want to kill my childhood heroes. Other then that they don't have much story beyond the concept and ther heroes are just drawings at this point. Which is a shame since if anything sells this game it will have to be the story.

2. Game mechanics look weak. It's a basic 2d side scroller. The graphics seem a bit dated to me, and while the lighting and atmosphere is there for a dark game, it's a bit ruined by the fact that the powerful monster I'm supposed to be controlling, that can summon mouths bigger than your average human, only seems to hit enemies hard enough to throw them back and not even bleed before they go right back to shooting.

So basically good concept and potentially good villains. But the mechanics need a lot of work and they need to come up with some original heroes.

Alpha Man....I mean really? What about you? Any Kick Starters you wanted to fund, but knew better?

 

This is what I meant, sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

 

This is a perfect example. When I first heard about the Ouya, I thought it was going to be the most awesome thing ever. But then I looked at the specs and realized that they were just barely average (when it was announced - they were kinda shitty by the time it actually released). And then I saw how few games would be fully supported. And then I remembered that I rarely play mobile games anyway and it would just be a waste of money for me. So I didn't fund it.
