>thought ADR1FT seemed pretty cool, I'll check out the reviews
>turns out it was made by the "I want every device to be always on" Microsoft guy
>the entire game is about how butthurt he was for getting fired over the backlash
>"Then there’s the story, oh boy. I want to be careful that I’m not over-analysing here, but the fact creative director Adam Orth has been on record talking about how the game is a personal story, based on his experiences at Microsoft mean that (unless I’m mistaken) the story here is laden with similes, and, at times, feels very unapologetic. A machine reading the words “always online” were very jarring, and a heavy implication that the person at fault for this space wreckage was just toeing the company line and doing their job, and also quite a driven person – I don’t know, but it feels a little too on the nose for its own good."
8/10 from Game Informer, Destructoid, and Forbes
Videogames will always be the lowest form of art
torrent when?
>$20
ridiculous desu
>>332307659
There is litterally nothing wrong with an always online device.
Id still perfer it to be not always online though.
Look, if an asshole made a good game then he made a good game. You don't have to suddenly adopt all his ideals just because you also enjoy the game.
Why are you so fond of the "everything or nothing" mantra? That's the domain of religious fanatics and SJW.
>>332307659
He's just like Fish.
Therefore I don't care what the fuck he makes, I ain't buying shit.
I will pirate this game because he said something I don't like on twitter.
>>332307898
chinese market is huge and not all of them has always online
>>332307659
The visuals just remind me of Shattered Horizon and how shafted that game was
>>332307984
Because if you don't like a person on a personal level you're not going to give them money to obtain their product. Hell, if a shop is stamping on kittens in the back room, most people won't want to shop there again just because the bagels are good.
How can you not see this?
>>332307984
That was just about the embarrassing story, it's also a walking/floating simulator with broken mechanics
>>332308178
this. But Shattered horizon was really just a tech demo with a game attached.
Everyone is online all the time anyway, why are people bitchy about always online?
MMO's require internet access, are people bitching about that?
>>332307898
>literally
Lmfao
>>332308182
>Hell, if a shop is stamping on kittens in the back room, most people won't want to shop there again just because the bagels are good.
That's a serious moral issue. It is not analogous to "That guy is such a dick" at all.
I don't agree with Christopher Nolan's political view but I still watch and enjoy Batman Begins because it's a fucking fun film. I'm sure most of the people whose media I consume I would disagree with almost as much as agree with.
This is not a big deal and if you can't get past it then you should go join the SJW morons with their no platforming bullshit.
>>332307659
>game is a personal story
I don't see how being a twat on Twitter as a PR guy can translate into space stations colliding.
Always online is code word for ''I give up on trying to stop pirates so let's do the worst thing imaginable''.
>>332307898
>There is litterally nothing wrong with an always online device.
Yeah, like telescreens?
>>332308661
It's an issue when you have a single player game that you can't play because there is a problem on their end.
Is the game always online? If it is, then I refuse to play it because it's a single player experience, and has no reason to be online.
If it isn't, then I Refuse to buy it because it proves that games don't need to be always online, and he was just being an ass with a blatantly wrong opinion.
If you allow it, other players—also playing as Aiden—can enter your game and install viruses on your in-game equipment, spy on you through hacked security cameras, and generally cause all sorts of trouble. Every player sees themselves as Aiden Pearce and other players as generic enemy hackers, allowing you to seamlessly interact with other people playing through Watch_Dogs without breaking the illusion that you are living the life of Aiden Pearce.
It's a great way to spice up single-player games with human intelligence, and it's only possible because Watch_Dogs was developed with always-online consoles in mind.
>>332307659
this 'game' is simply a walking simulator, I don't know why people spend their money buying this crap.
>>332307659
this is the game that had fire in space in its initial teaser
>>332307898
>this glass of water is totally not poisoned
>but I ain't drinking it, fuck that
>>332309243
it's like paying for movies some of walking simulators are worth the money
>>332308752
>what you don't WANT to give money to someone you think is a cunt? What's WRONG with you?
That's you. That's what you sound like.
>>332308319
It was a really good, well thought out game, to be fair.
I will not play Shadow Complex because Orson Scott Card hates gays.
>>332309640
You won't BUY Shadow Complex.
You can't taste bigotry.
>>332309584
Yeah it was fun. It was nice during sales you would sometimes see people there.
The game was MAXIMUM space cumfy
>>332307659
I saw this thread and I thought "Oh boy people are going to talk about this game I wonder what its like"
nope
instead, typical drama
>>332309414
>everyone must agree with me on everything always and if they don't, even on a trivial manner, then they are completely worthless
That's you. That's what you sound like.
>>332309414
>I can't separate someone's ideals from their work because I'm still a child
>>332310235
Nice way to put words in my mouth, cunt. Did I ever say nobody should buy it? No I didn't. And that's why people don't like to talk to you and your parents roll their eyes whenever you go on one of your "episodes"
>>332310235
>>332310352
>you should be willing to buy a game even if you don't agree with their ideaology
>unless it's a game "I" don't like like Undertale
Nice hypocrisy.
>>332309262
I haven't seen that teaser but was it actually fire in space, like a flaming piece of wreckage or was it just an explosion of gas from a ship or station that created flames, cause that can happen dogo
>>332310352
You know those two things always get tangled up together, right?
Just like the fucking OP blatantly states.
>>332310514
Where did Undertale even come from? You are seriously reaching.
>>332310665
Making something semi-autobiographical doesn't mean you're filling it with your ideals. The only thing I read from OP that even suggests that is a robot that says always online with no given context. Think for yourself for once dumbass.
>>332308752
>I still watch and enjoy Batman Begins
But it's so forgettable. I mean it's not bad like The Dark Knight Rises but everyone knows The Dark Knight is the best of the trilogy.
Heath Ledger fucking carried the movie.
>>332311020
They are all shit. Kill yourself
>>332310418
You can't possibly be that fucking retarded...
That's hilarious. His butthurt was so glorious that it spawned a game. When's the novel and made-for-tv movie?
>>332310961
>semi-autobiographical doesn't mean you're filling it with your ideals
You can't make anything without putting your ideals into it. Even attempting to emulate someone elses ideals will leave a sour tone, a trace of your original ideals. Even drawing a straight line on a blank piece of paper can be interpreted.
Think in general for once, dumbass.
>Edna is 110 dollary doos on amiami
anywhere that is cheaper?
at least it looks pretty good desu
>>332311341
>Little hallway and few objects
Of course it should look good, it would be a slap to the face if they couldn't ripoff, i mean, make alien inspired game with less elements on it.
>>332311465
You're embarrassing yourself anon
>>332311465
>Alien inspired
more like Gravity
>>332310352Is this a whole comic?
>Adr1ft

Why?
>>332311720
And gravity was shit, oh well.
Also
>4 hour game
>>332311935

Gravity was fine. You're just fedora-ing because it was popular and award winning.
>>332312147
>muh strong womyn
>/v/ despises when "SJW's" boycott games for stupid reasons
>tries to do the very same
>>332312147
Fine compared to what?
Moon, Sunshine, even the apollo 11 movie shit all over it.
>>332312147
This is bait.
>>332312147
The only good thing about gravity were the effects
I will pirate it too, then send him a tweet telling him that I pirated it and that it is also shit
>>332307659
>just toeing the company line and doing their job, and also quite a driven person
If this excuse didn't work for the S.S. Officers I don't see why it should work for this guy.
>>332311843
Only one person will buy it.
>>332311720
>>332311341
How about some in-game screenshots that aren't hallways and corridors? So far this just looks like a walking sim in space with a message of 'the world dun did me wrong'
>>332312864
the entire game is hallways and corridors idiot, its a space station
So whats this? Floating simulator?
itt; people who seriously need to fuck off back to [eight]chan
I don't give a fuck about this dipshit only because he had a couple of opinions I don't agree with personally
is the game good or not, that's all that matters
>>332313614
>steam
>early access
>survival horror
>DLC
You can guess if it's good or not.
Superhot was also short and costs also $20
Is this game worth the money?
>>332313823
>early access
>survival horror
>DLC
None of those are right, though. There are legitimate things to complain about, like being fucking boring.
Crack this Denuvo shit ASAP, I don't want to pay to play games made by those fuckers.
>>332312147
>It's good because it won awards
How's Evolve?
>>332314146
Superhot is not. Wait until a sale.
This game is not worth as much as Superhot.
>>332314159
Oh. Okay then.
>>332313050
Oh so original, sign me up!
Tell me why I should buy this game over Starsector or SS13

you are comparing a first person walking sim to a 2d strategy game and a multiplayer hijinx scenario game?
>>332310615
>an explosion of gas from a ship or station that created flames, cause that can happen dogo
No it can't, there would be an instantaneous flash where any oxygen was burned up but nothing after.
>>332312864

>>332317907
>>332308752
>That's a serious moral issue. It is not analogous to "That guy is such a dick" at all.
The story of this game isn't analogous to "always online" either but he obviously believed he was the innocent faultless victim so oh well
>>332318037
>>332318226
>>332318360
I see it kinda like this
Would you guys want Super Mario 64 to be always online restricted?
If it had existed then, would the servers still be up for the game by this time?
What would always online add to the game except more ways for the game to not work?
If you can give good answers as to why Mario 64 would benefit from always online, maybe i can see why people would want it nowadays, but seriously, it is the shittiest idea ever to have always online drm
>>332311935
>never heard of Gravity before
>check it out
>starring Sandra Bullock post surgery
She was such a cutie, now she looks dead and soulless.
>>332307659
I... was looking forward to this, and thought that review was fake. This industry is so embarassing. Underwater VR game that's really about being cut off from your trust fund when?
>>332309262
You just decribed every sci-fi space opera ever.
>>332319898
Won't be long before every person featured on 'The Internet Ruined My Life' will have their own VR game
>>332317127
He's comparing three roughly comparable uses of $20

underrated comment
>>332309414
Not him, but you realize no one is talking about donating to the guy, right? I'm not just giving him money, I would be receiving a product in return.
You know, like, I dislike his politics, so I'll call him a dick on twitter or whatever, but if I like his game I'd buy it (the "I" here is general; I pirate everything).
Bad receives negative reinforcement, good receives positive reinforcement. It doesn't seem like a hard concept to get your head around.
>>332307659
I'm watching the Giant Bomb stream and they're playing the game, it looks like another glorified walking simulator to me.
>>332325319
Hey, at least it has a fail state.
I'll get it when it's five bucks, I've bought a Rift, and upgraded my computer.
More like ASH1T
Guy seems like a huge faggot, but I would probably pirate it to see if it's worth the money or not.
Typical arrogant nerd
Why are people paying attention to him?

So can you walk behind the vessel and die? Or are you limited to turning your head to marvel at a scripted event and then continue your way along a designated course a la Dragon's Lair?

>Failed dev

None of these are bad, they all go together quite well. Fuck everything involved in this shitstorm.
>>332327912
You have free movement, but you don't have a lot of oxygen.
>>332328228
So you can only move and advance in directions allowed by the dev. I see. Back to Sega CD levels of gaming. Night Trap here we come!
