    You know what I actually agree with this, thank you. 

     

    What is this, reasonable discussion between two people with different views on the internet? thats not allowed!

    Joking aside, one thing I personally feel about a lot of the refund scares people jump into for many different reasons, is often silly. Its true that you should know what youre getting into before backing the game. That said, its really not *purchasing* the game, its an investment in the development of the game proposed. I have the impression that some do not fully understand this, and jump to think their money is being stolen and they were scammed because they dont have anything yet. Its complete fallacy. Investment inherently means chance of loss, we arent guaranteed that identity will succeed or come out. Things happen and things fail, but if everyone that funded the game in the first place jumped for refunds and bankrupted the project, of course its more likely to fail.

    Early acces titles have spoiled gamers with "pay now, get it now". Truth be told you end up playing a botched half of a game and get bored and move on long before you have even got what you paid for. This reason alone is why I have a bit more faith in Identity, modules to give us a taste of whats to come without totally squandering what the whole experience should be but in a broken and incomplete state.

    Actually no. I've paintballed plenty in the past, but am an avid airsofter. I train at least once a week, so I'd say that's quite fanatic. Paintball and airsoft are two different cakes. Paintball is in an extent less accurate than airsoft, shot take longer to hit their target, and are way more arched. I love going out to paintball with friends, or even as group activity with colleagues, but I'm well aware it's less "serious" than airsoft.

    If you own a decent paintball rifle yourself, it will be accurate, it will fire quick and hit its target a lot faster, and it will go more straight because you will ramp up the pressure on your rifle to suit your standards. The problem is, you won't be allowed to use it in competition because it just shoots too hard (too many Joule's of impact). But it will be fun to use at home, I suppose.
    When you go to an arena and rent the crap out of their gear ... well, you can imagine it's all regulated, and inaccurate and such it won't be too much fun.

    If you own any kind of airsoft rifle (electric, CO2, or gas) and you regulate it to standards of maximum allowed ### of FPS (feet per second), it will even be more accurate, quicker to hit its target, and goes straight forward (fix hop-up to get this as it should be) with minor delay.
    When you rent gear at an arena, those replicas will be TOP-notch. And most likely even better than newbies their cheap-ass first airsoft replica.

    Point being: you can never have a bad experience with airsoft in any decent establishment, but you will most likely have crap gear at a paintball venue.

    As extra: If you like FPS games for example, then shooting an airsoft rifle feels like shooting a sniper rifle, and shooting a paintball rifle feels like shooting a rocket launcher, or even a shotgun over long range.

     

    This is ridiculously biased and also missing the point. We're talking about a mini-game within a game. Paintball simply stands out better because stylistically it looks different from the actual thing. Being a game, too, you can make the mechanics work pretty much how you want, its not a rant on the differences of equipment and regulations quality.
