Velvet Sundown is actually pretty fun. I roll the thief so I'm just going about and schmoozing. I'm approached by the undercover agent who wants me to steal some data. I steal it and sell it to him and then tase him as soon as I get paid.

It's a pretty neat game with a lot of rough edges.

Someone said earlier but this would make a load more money as a five or 10 dollar game then it will as a subscription based game. It just makes no sense for them to do this.

Yes. These days there isn't a whole lot of suspenseful horror out there and the advent of scarecam lpers means that people want jump scares and people reacting to them.

The funny bit is that's just a waste of money since Minecraft is on every platform now -- and Mojang knows their time is up. They won't ever do anything of worth so might as well get bought by a high price.

Honestly, it's pretty smart of them to do this. I don't think it's on a Nintendo platform but honestly, it's on so many platforms that it really doesn't matter if it's not on one of them.

So apparently Paranautical Activity comes out of early access and is getting a full release. Please don't buy Paranautical Activity.


This is something that the dev said on the steam forum


quote:

You should rate PA reviews (and write your own!)
As some of you may have noticed, ALL the PA reviews that show up on the store page are negative, despite almost all of the reviews we have being positive. This is a leftover from when there was a bit of friction in the community and reddit decided they hated us for a day.

I wouldn't mind so much if they were people that just hated the game, but it's pretty much exclusively people just saying "gently caress THE DEVS" (which isn't totally unjustified, but sucks for us and unhelpful for buyers)

It would be immensely helpful if some of you would take the time to rate down flame reviews, and rate up some legitimate ones (positive or negative), and maybe write a review of your own.

I feel like a real piece of poo poo coming on here and basically begging for reviews, but it's just eating me up inside knowing that our reviews section is just totally useless


This is in regards to them saying that their next update would be the final one despite not adding in co-op support (which they had been advertising and using as a selling point long after they knew it wasn't feasible), not having added in occulus rift support (which they are contractucally obligated to add since that was part of their successful kickstarter/Indie Go Go) and being gigantic shitheads about the whole thing and being open about cutting and running. So he's saying "we don't want this bad publicity, you guys who bought our game do something about this" and them just doing it because people on the steam forums are loving morons for the most part.


Also, don't buy it because it's voxel based garbage that has already been obsoleted by Tower of Guns which is a genuinely good game.

Also you need to have played the game (ie: have bought it) to leave a review and it shows how long you've played it on the review, so you can easily verify that it's not because reddit bombed the game page for a day on a lark.

It's all just refusing to take criticism for making promises that they never intended to keep (once more they knew that multiplayer wouldn't be possible to be implemented in November of 2013, they were advertising that co-op would be coming until May this year until they revealed that they were done with development of the game) and then their developers were such shithead divas on the forums and on twitter that it burnt a lot of good will that they might have gotten if they'd just been honest about it.



EDIT: Holy poo poo wow, one of the devs even left a positive recommendation on their store page.

I've heard a lot of bad things about Valkyria Chronicles 2.


The vast majority of complaints about VC2 is that it was released on the PSP and that the story leans more towards slice of life anime stuff alongside the war story. Maps are also smaller thanks to the hardware restrictions but there are far more class upgrades and such available.
