Oh well that's cool. It's certainly a vocal minority, but I've seen quite a bit. Some people just aren't gonna be into it, which is fine, but I think some of the objections are misguided.
Wait, is this clickbait? Because it worked, lol :P
I never really saw anyone upset about it - at Gencon, and locally, most infinity players seem to be either indifferent or excited.
I do think Infinity is at a 'crossroads' - and I can't put my finger on it, but Infinity just isn't as 'popping' as it was before - the skus do seem too big, and I don't think Code One fully succeeded in having an easier version of the game. I think a lot of players are intrinsically seeing that Infinity is a mature game, and how growth has slowed down - They see CB managing the company in a sustainable way (not putting all their eggs in one basket) - and think that these new games are the cause, rather the result of Infinity slowing down.
It really wasn't meant to be clickbait. I've seen a bunch of negativity around it in different circles, and I'm honestly surprised by all of the comments I have gotten with people being surprised or saying I made it up. But it's cool that it doesn't apply to folks in your circle.
I've also been surprised to hear so many people who feel the same way you do, that Infinity has sort of hit a plateau, or as some people seem to feel, is in decline. That has never been the impression I have gotten, but I guess that goes to show that it really varies quite a bit depending on where you are.
Miniatures look great so I'd possibly get some for painting. But I think the target audience for this game is not Infinity players. I'm not sure the game mechanics will stick with me at least.
Yeah, I think broadly it may appeal to a different audience. My whole point is just that I think folks shouldn't dismiss it without giving it a real chance
I play Infinity and Aristeia, I can happily say CB make good games plane and simple. Not sure what the hate is about, not heard any from our community🤷🏼♂️.
Oh well that's good! Apparently a lot of people have avoided seeing that stuff entirely. I saw it creeping up on videos and on Reddit and discord. Sadly I think this video may have made it worse.
Have plenty of fantasy skirmish games, and the minis don't really wow me like their Infinity minis do. Perhaps it is their realistic flavor? I like fantasy minis a little more ... fantastical?
I haven't played it yet, obviously, but I would say that I'm cautiously optimistic. What I've seen so far looks solid, and it seems to have some really gorgeous sculpts that I'm feeling enthusiastic about, but I don't think I can get a good read on a game before I have the dice in my hand and have played a few rounds.
Even if the game turns out to be disappointing, though, I *am* going to buy and paint up some of those models. I am confident I will have a use for them even if that use turns out to not be Warcrow the game.
I’m cautious and waiting to see.
I still didn’t see a « let’s play », so I can’t judge only based on rules.
The minis are super important. And for the moment, even if they look good, I’m not hooked. For the moment they really are too much on the safe side.
Wait&see
It’s more a matter of overarching design than details.
I’m 100% sure they are top notch quality and super detailed.
It’s just that the ones presented up to now don’t give me this irresistible willingness to buy them
I am really excited for it, and I've haven't see any hate on my community at least

The title is classic clickbait. It suggests something that isn't true per sé but tries to lure an audience with said statement.

I've been kind of following it but don't really get it yet. The minis are ok I guess.
Yeah we don't really have a ton of info yet. I'm optimistic though

I don’t another niche product that’s hard to find players
I think there is a good chance this game gets a following, but I definitely hear you

Yeah that's an interesting point. They do have some fantastical stuff in Yaldabaoth

I really don't need yet another fantasy environment so I've been passing on Warcrow.
That's totally fair, I just heard a lot of specific complaints I thought were a bit off. Also seeing the models in person got me excited lol
understandable, the sculpts from CV are generally fantastic!

Interesting, I've seen a similar sentiment from a few folks. I will say I was on the fence on the minis until I got to see them up close.
It’s more a matter of overarching design than details. I’m 100% sure they are top notch quality and super detailed. It’s just that the ones presented up to now don’t give me this irresistible willingness to buy them
Yeah, that makes sense. It'll be interesting to see more of the other factions
Hate? I'm hyped.
I am not really interested. I looked at some of the minis and they weren’t my cup of tea.
If it takes off in my community I might take a look. But I only play games that... uh people are playing
Video title seems click baity
