Why don't you just buy the game?

For what? Spending money, I could use elsewhere, and buy a game that I regret buying afterwards? If the game is good, I'll buy it then. If you're rich, and like burning money, go right ahead and buy games to play for 5 minutes before trying.

Or you could watch playthroughs online and decide if you would like to purchase it and not just go into it blindly. How often do you pirate a game and then buy it btw?

Often enough. The correct question should be, "how many games you only pirate you complete", then I could answer about 5~10%, after I started earning my own money, before that it was way more.

I respect your opinion on piracy, just don't try to make me believe it as well, I have my own opinion. I don't intend to start a piracy discussion here, so please just stop.

And yes, I do watch gameplays on youtube BEFORE downloading them to try the gameplay myself, and see if there isn't any problem about the games running on my computer. And for games that have DEMOS (which, somehow, are very uncommon these days), I don't even need to pirate them, I just download the demo.

About FTL, I pirated it, enjoyed the gameplay for about 20 minutes, then uninstalled it. I'm still waiting for a good sale to buy it.

If you enjoyed it, it's on sale at the moment on the developers site. $4.99 for Steam key and DRM afaik.

I know.. I'm pretty undecided yet if I buy it on the last day or not. Summer sale is coming up, could be a better sale than 50%. If there's not, I could buy it later for the same 50%. I still have other games to play. But I haven't decided yet xD

I think that I got it from their site for 75% off but I can't remember. And if you're willing to wait then it might show up in a Humble Bundle.

Fuck it. I couldn't stay strong, and the power of sales corrupted me. I started by buying mark of the ninja, and felt sad I didn't buy FTL for the same price. I bought it.

Well too bad I was born in April 1987, I'm 26 years old. My first PC was a Compaq DeskPro 286 N with EGA/VGA graphic and a Intel 80286 12 MHz processor and a 80287 math coprocessor and 13 MB of RAM. I was 6 years old when I obtained it through my father work connections (he's a programmer) so I began to play videogames in 1993 with it. I'm not really that old but in my childhood I played the same classic games old gamers played like The Secret of Monkey Island, Wolfenstein 3D, Ultima, Alone in the Dark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Prince of Persia, Duke Nukem 1, Hocus Pocus, Realms of Chaos, Scorched Earth, Dune and Dune II, Gabriel Knight, Ultima Underworld, King Quest, Winter Games, Test Drive The Duel, Nibbles and Gorilla.bas and others. In 1997 I bought a Sega Saturn with Virtua Fighters 2, Sega Worldwide Soccer '97, Virtua Cop 2, Exhumed, Duke Nukem 3D and other games. In 2000 I bought a "modern" PC (modern for my father budget - Intel Pentium II 500 MHz, 128 MB RAM, 6 GB HDD IDE, S3 Trio GPU) and played Quake, Quake II, Half Life, Resident Evil 1/2, Starcraft, etc), later I bought a GeForce 2 MX 400 to play Morrowind and then a Radeon 9100 to play it better. In 2001 I bought a PlayStation 2 with Final Fantasy X, and then I started buying many consoled, Sega Dreamcast, Xbox 1/360, Nintendo DS lite, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 slim, PlayStation 1, Amiga 500 (that's a home computer I know that), PlayStation Portable 3000. Now I want a Nintendo 64, Nintendo Gamecube, SNES, NES, Wii, Vita, 3DS, Nec PC Engine, Sharp X68000, Nec PC-98, MSX 1/2, FM Towns. I don't know if I will have money but I definitely will buy them someday. So maybe I'm not very old like guys who player Oregon Trail or Frogger or Pitfall on a Atari 2600 or a Commodore VIC-20 or even an Amstrad CPC or a Commodore 64 but I know something I think about videogames. Don't you think so? : ) I played FTL but I didn't like it. I know roguelikes are like that but I prefer roguelikes like Neo Scavenger or Dungeons of Dredmor (ok, that's not properly a roguelike but it similar). I prefer game with atmosphere like Black Market or Don't Starve that don't kill you right away but give you a gradual learning curve. If the games doesn't give a method to win or simply to play like I want I don't really enjoy it because I don't want to play a flipper or a FPS like CoD but I want to immerse myself in a world of fantasy and interpret a role and Weird Worlds gave me that. I really love the battle system of FTL but for a Kickstarter that gained 200,542.00 $ of the initial 10,000.00 requested I expected more graphics and more ways to play, like explore many sector of the galaxy and so on.

Weird Worlds just seems so much more shallow to me. I can't even play it.

Well, I didn't like it :/ It has more stuff than FTL, but FTL has something about it that keeps it addictive, you know? The simplicity and refinement in FTL makes it the great game it is. This one is more complex and specific, people have to read a lot more, and think a lot more, FTL is a bit more fast than this one. I would recommend it to who likes it more complex tough, it's very similar to FTL.

Not only random. But also too linear at the same time.

Ah, I wish there was something similar in complexity to Space Station 13.

I thought it was pretty fun. Some friends couldn't get into it though. Check out some Let's Plays because the game isn't for everyone.

I didn't expect to like it, but I sure did. So for me it was a case of "so good it goes beyond genres and usual tastes".

If you can deal with often frustratingly difficult roguelikeness, or you are just a fantasist who wishes they could have been an Admiral in Star Wars or in control of the USS Enterprise in Star Trek then you'll probably love it.

That said, if you're unsure I would say it is likely to be reduced in the summer sale, so if you can wait a while you could pick it up very, very cheaply.

I dont think it will be less than $4,99 which is the current price.

50% is a good deal. It's like... Β£3.20 - About the price I got it for. Nab it!

Edit: Also, if you have the option, buy via the above link, not Amazon. Then you'll get DRM free as well as a Steam key.

It dropped to $4 at one point, but really there's no point in putting off purchasing a great game to save one, at most two bucks.

There is some RNG but it is largely skill based. I clocked over 100 hours at $6, a definite great game in my books; like others have said though, it's not for everyone.

It is a great game imo. If you are not sure watch WTF is FTL? on youtube by totalbiscuit

Even though it's randomized, it feels that almost every run is winnable, at least in my experience.

Yes, but it is a pretty simple, so don't expect to get too many hours out of it.

Most people who like it, get more than a few hours out of it. Most people seem to get a minimum of 30 hours enjoyment... others hundreds of hours. So many ships to try, combinations to experiment with... very addicting game.

The is not that many combinations. You could spend hundreds of hours on on any game. I have almost 40 hours on mine and that was pushing it quite a bit to get achievements/see everything. Every run is so very quick.

Yes, it's one of my favorite indie titles, but it can be frustrating since its so unforgiving at times. It keeps you coming back though.

Be sure to pause often.
You should teleport your whole crew to utterly dominate most manned ships.

Depends on the ship. If you get the right setup, teleporting will slow you down and cause more hull damage than fast victories and no hull damage.

I've enjoyed it fairly well when I've played it. Once you come to terms with your likeliness to fail surpasses your likeliness to succeed by a large margin and that you can very easily lose if an encounter goes wrong it can be a very fun game.
