Ech, as someone who plays ps4 on the side another open world game makes me feel a bit bloated :sick: Especially when it's a bunch of meaningless sprawl, I suppose I'm just more of a linear boy :B

Though I'll admit I'm also still sour after such an insulting radio silence. Game publishers need to get over themselves.

Disclaimer: Not trying to kill anyone's buzz, but I am generally a critical person :P

I'm pretty turned off when a $60 game has the balls to start playing the "Please, sir, can I have some more?" gambit. Though considering 'year of free DLC' it might be justifiable, though I'd wait until finding out what this DLC is exactly to make that call. That said, such a model could be a preferable since the alternative of paid DLC maps and such in a multiplayer focused game would split the community. It was also stated that nothing is exclusive to those who pay, the micro-transactions anyway.

However, I still think it's quite a slippery slope to support developers making games with free to play models that aren't actually free. Especially since there's no doubt that such models have to make a challenge curve to incentivize players to part with their money. If I'm paying $60 for a game I want a proper experience curved accordingly. They say it's just for people who don't have time, but such a statement deepens my fear of how much this has affected the development of the game (and if you check out the history of said development it's quite murky in itself.

And personally, I prefer either a good competitive shooter or a linear single player one (Wolfenstein: The New Order was a blast btw <3). This whole open world co-op thing leaves me feeling rather uninterested, not to mention that it reeks of following trends, as it'll likely mean a lackluster narrative and bland character, if any. This could partly be because I'm an anxious twat who resents being forced to cooperate with people who aren't in the same room :dizzy:

I may still get the game if it's good, but I'm certainly going to do my research beforehand (as if we penguins don't need to do that already :P).

Ooohhhh, I think I now see why Valve chose this and Portal 2 to be the SteamBox gift titles :O Normally one would want two great games that are new to the platform, but failing that they ingeniously picked an old game and a game that won't be available on said platform for months to round things out :P

Seriously though, what a goof on Valve's part. I wonder how many SteamBox owners got sour over that (I certainly would be). And I wish Psyonix would be a bit more transparent. It always annoys me when devs get all tight lipped; giving the impression of snubbing the community, either out of sloth or snootiness.

Looks like a Russian game; brown and shooty XD No offence, of course, but I've noticed a trend with Russian developers on early access :P That said, I'm itching for a good shooter!

Hells to the yes :B I was on the edge of caving and just playing through WINE, hopefully the wait is nearly over.

Quoting: 14My only interest is because of the hype (doesn't mean I'll buy it). I don't buy very many 2D games because I think they're overdone. Hello, I have powerful gaming machines and I want nice visuals.

Also, what? I can understand when people complain about the abundance of games that use pixel art, even though it doesn't bother me so long as it fits the overall aesthetics. But dismissing all 2D games? That's like saying I'm tired of movies that are in color or that comics that aren't 3D magic eye pictures lack any decent visuals. 2D and 3D fit different aesthetics and gameplay mechanics. I can't see what 3D could've added to games like Hotline Miami or Paper's Please. End rant

The story as presented doesn't seem to have much personality, but the gameplay looks like it has potential. At any rate it's also good to get higher profile games on the platform :)

Quoting: KeizgonPretty sure this is in my Steam library. I haven't tested whether it will run or not, but IIRC there is a playable beta branch for it.

Sorta, it's just the demo though.

Quoting: ElectricPrismHow to make a game trailer in 2015:
1 ) Insert 3d cinematic that looks nothing like gameplay
2 ) slow motion / fast motion
3 ) cut to silence
4 ) Loud BwwaaaaaaaHHHH Sound
5 ) Profit
6 ) ..... What did I just buy?

Don't get me started on modern movie trailers :'( Just replace 1 with "Several dramatic, disconnected dialogue bits, with black transitions."

And don't forget about the fast BWAAAHWAHWAHWAH -w-
