^those are beautiful!

I've never pre-ordered a game on steam before, does it usually take this long to go from countdown to unlock? Right now it just looks broken.

I usually give it an hour before I suspect that something is wrong.

Please don't go to the Steam forums and shout at the poor developers, it's not their fault unless they just never uploaded the actual code.

It doesn't usually unlock at 2pm, which was irritating. I was going to play it while I waited for my physical copy of Warfighter to arrive but no midnight unlocks for this game.

We're marooned on a small island in an endless sea, confined to a tiny spit of sand, unable to escape.

But tonight, on this small planet, we're gonna rock civilization.

First wave of reviews are out. Glowing praise all round, it seems. Here's mine - unsurprisingly, it's rather positive.

Just buy the drat thing. It's great.

Interestingly, the whole thing was made using GameMaker, which is on Steam now. It might be officially 'entry-level' software, but it's a very powerful package in the right hands.

Did you guys with the error popup also get a message when it did the first time setup, that you had a newer version of Visual C++?

"A newer version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable has been detected on the machine."

It does this every time I try to load the game as well.

edit: if I mash Ignore through a ton of the popups the menu does load but no sound, so yeah this is pretty screwed. Tweeted at the devs.

Is this game playable on a controller or is it keyboard/mouse only. I'd assume there is a controller option but the mouseaiming I've seen in trailers makes me doubt that'd be possible.

Edit: nevermind I found my answer two posts up

There's a 360 controller option in the options.

Nice of them to let us know. And the 360 controller support is broken? Well I just lost hope in playing this tonight. Can't be bothered debugging for the dev, football on in 30 minutes, etc.

It seems to only support the back button and the joystick right now. I was able to get the game to launch, but no sounds and it crashes when I get into a game. Controller mode makes it impossible to actually get into the game. gently caress man I was pumped to play.

If you do not have a 360 controller do not toggle the option ON as apparently you might get stuck in the menus with no way of using the keyboard to do anything. And even reinstalling doesn't fix it.

I knew this game would be crazy, but it looks brutally loving hard on top of it. The speed at which guys come at you combined with one hit death makes it look pretty rough judging from Gyoru's stream.

Delete the file titled xbox, and you should revert back to keyboard..I just worked for me, but with how screwy this game is, YMMV

I am a bootlicking scab who loves seeing people be paid less than living wages. If the workers don't like it they should just kill themselves. Let me know who is organizing so I can report them to management. I pine for the days of the Pinkertons.


I had the same problem and the game runs fine, except I'm having some insane "vsync" problems despite the game not being 3D. I'm retarded when it comes to these types of technical problems, but the screen tearing is really awful. I am playing at the odd resolution of 1360x768 because I'm using my tv as a monitor. But before I go digging out one of my computer monitors out of the attic to test things, is anyone else having this issue?

Besides that, the game is loving awesome. I went into it not knowing what it was all about besides it looking like an old school GTA game. It feels like a strategy game almost. Reminds me of the old Rainbow Six games how you plan to breach a building full of well armed rear end-holes. Except your planning phase is in real-time and done through trial/error gameplay that you can instantly restart. Also, the music is K-RAD TO THE MAX!!

Having just mashed my head against part of chapter 4 until beating it, I can confirm this. You're fighting AI that has perfect aim, perfect reflexes (unless you're JUST entering a room and they weren't ready), and can detect you from a couple yards away if you're in the same room, even if you're behind them. You're usually better off throwing your melee weapon than trying to catch someone point blank with it. Gunfire will often draw the attention of enemies clear across the level while inexplicably not alerting one randomly selected guy right on the other side of the wall from you.

No windowed mode, no resolution options, and the only control that I want to remap, namely lock-on being assigned to MMB, is the only one that's not remappable.

It also feels like the better I get at the game and the more bonuses I manage to start racking up, the worse my letter grading gets. My "Flexibility" rating is also constantly at 0. What the gently caress does it want from me?!

E: All the tally-based achievements are apparently broken too, and it doesn't support the Steam overlay.
