Well, for me, I'm not really sure. I love the game I have, and I do want more of it. The thing is, I still haven't gotten the last expansion I backed yet; I don't know if those ideas were as fun as they sounded or not, or if my interest will hold up. I understand the reasons for the delays, but it feels awkward to be asked to commit to buying more of a game that I haven't had a chance to play yet.
Big Godzilla.. I don't really care about him. I don't hate him. This game is silly. My party has Al Capone, Einstein, Rasputin, a little girl who throws fireballs, and the mascot from Iron Maiden in it. Sure they can fight Godzilla. Why not? Do I want to pay 200 dollars for it? Eh.. probably not. I'll take that free one, maybe even spring for the comic con variant, since I like that sculpt better. I will say.. I didn't buy big Cthulhu either. Just more than I wanted to pay for something like that. I did spring for Galactus though. Because I am a man of culture. I wouldn't have been more interested in Godzilla fighting Galactus though. You know what I would have probably slammed the money down for? Godzilla attacking Castle Grayskull. Don't judge me.
Campaign Mode sounds like a fun little bit of spice. The game's not balanced, and the campaign won't be either. That's not really the experience I am looking for here. Just a bit of narrative hook I can weave into a story, and if it gives me an "excuse" to use more of the what are we at now, like 100 investigators or something? If it forces me off my favorites because they died earlier in the campaign, that's cool too. I like seeing new and different things interact.
Proto-shoggoths and shoggoths aren't the same things. But I think Arctic Elder Things and regular Elder Things kind of are. Cool new sculpts though. If we're doing new versions of old monsters I want some Tcho-Tchos that wear clothes-clothes please. And Yithian variants with cool sci fi gizmos that I don't have to throw moose bombs at.
As far as the tiles this is another thing where, if I had seen my season 3 and 4 stuff I might have a more fleshed out opinion. I like the images on the kickstarter page they showed me. But what will they look like in person? I dunno. They probably need to be bigger though. People complain about the existing ones being out of scale or hard to follow the action, but honestly, in my experience, I don't see much of the tiles because they are buried under a horde of plastic tentacles. Maybe that's a consequence of 5 player play, but that is how I like to play, and the tiles strain under it. Or outright fail, when an elder one and half a dozen cultists and large monsters try and fight us inside a broom closet.
I am all about more relics, unknown monsters and old ones. This version of Yig didn't do much for me at first, but he is growing on me. I like the snake monsters. Ghatananotgonnatryandspellthat is a cool deep cut with freaky little dudes he spits out. I'm down. I'm down to throw them at the old quests, or in the new ones. I love the modularity, this is what I like about this game. It appeases the 80s kid in me that was trained to want to use a lot of toys.
I dunno, I'll probably grab it. We'll see.
