Holy shit, did you guys know they basically brought back Army Men?
http://store.steampowered.com/app/360940/
Game just launched today but it looks like no one is buying it. Im gonna wait to see if it takes off before i purchase but holy shit they didn't even advertise this.
Just refunded it, game has potential but the maps are just too long, I'd like to personally congratulate anyone who manages to win that cup gamemode. I don't have a problem with no shooting while jumping, but I do have a problem with everyone having every weapon.
>>319448315
Yeah, no advertising means nobody knew about it. Smart move on their part.
We've got a steam group,
http://steamcommunity.com/gid/103582791440617888
but most people are refunding it.
I'd recommend trying it if you're interested, coming up with a list of issues you have, and then posting about them in the discussion board constructively. Then refunding.
There's a ton of potential, it's just not quite there.
>5v5
>plastic army men
>5v5
They showed this at an Xbox conference a while ago. Totally forgot about it until now. Looks like this is the first video released since it was first shown.
>>319448737
bro, we don't have the technology for bigger fights
Was it all the Army Men games you could position them and plan their attack ahead of time?
Or just Sarge's something?
I do not like the deaths right now they feel generic T rated shooter, I wanted some melting plastic and exploding chunks bascially the opposite of I want in a normal shooter
>>319448737
There's a bug that lets people keep joining after the player cap is hit, hopefully it becomes a feature.
>>319448315
I want this game to be good and catch on, but it sounds like it has a lot of ironing out to do, and things to put in. I'll keep my eye on it but if it doesn't shape up by the time it's sale is over then I'm just gonna have to pass on it.
Army Men 2 on PC was goat.
>>319448315
>multiplayer only
It burning and crashing shouldn't have been a surprise.
>>319449845
A BAZOOKA?!?Hehehehe
>>319449125
I think that was only a feature in Army Men 3D's multiplayer.
Not sure, it's been years.
The game is bad. And the devs have outed themselves as scumbags by trying to hide and delete negative reviews and criticism in the forum.
>>319449998
>animeposter is also a shitposter
Suprise.
>>319450432
>what I said

Try again
It's perfect for 10€, really
>nice visuals
>good enough gameplay, rolling helps a lot
>good UI
>variety of gamemodes, although I'd have preferred more deathmatch maps
>shotgun is fun
It's a shame it's flopping, looks pretty fun. Came out with more maps than Battlefront though
>>319450757
How is it flopping? It's got a bunch of streamers playing it and a decent amount of buzz for absolutely zero marketing.
>everyone gets all weapons at once
>can't shoot in the air
Refunded so fast
>>319450898
see
>>319450353
>>319448737
>>319448709
>bunch of streamers playing it
doesn't mean anything if they pay the streamers to play it
That bathtub CTF map is fucking terrible. What the hell were they thinking?
>>319448315
the music on the trailer is catchy
i want it
>>319450989
You're making up spooky stories in your head anon, streamers play whatever is new so they can keep viewers attention. It's also "bugged" and allows way more than 10 people per server, I've seen a few 25 vs 25 matches.
>>319448315
>5v5 people battles
>shitty graphics
>shitty gameplay
>new engine and interesting maps are the only + in it
fucking lmao
>no campaign
>5v5
Funny, for a second I was excited. Looks like even the deaths aren't over the top
>>319451395
The graphics are actually pretty decent and the maps are all neat to look at. That's the extent of compliments I can pay this disappointment though.
Friendly PSA: there's no melting animation when you kill someone with a flamethrower, which is something the original N64 and PS1 games had.
the game is not fun, refunded it myself just now
>>319451721
It's not related to the army men series, it's an indie game.
>>319451340
No anon, streamers are owned by larger companies. Polaris owned by Makers owned by Disney.
It probably doesn't apply here but they do get told to play video games, like Battlefront, and stream it for a certain period of time.
You do remember the JonTron video of "Im at walmart here to buy battlefront" right?
>>319451806
No excuse faggot. Dropped the game like you on your head when I saw that.
>>319451590
The donuts don't look tasty at all.
>>319451806
>It's not related to the army men series
So in that case it's a blatant rip off?
I wanna buy this, but it seems kinda obvious no one is going to buy it, it's already dead on arrival
>>319452004
Yes
>>319450574
Fuck off and go play a VN or something, weeb.
>>319451934
You need to loosen the strap on your tin foil hat.
>>319452027
there are 330 players playing it right now .
>>319451806
>a game ripping off a series from the 90's using modern PC gaming tech can't replicate a cool and iconic effect that ancient console could pull off
It's pathetic.
REFUND : THE GAME
BYE GUYZ
>>319448315
>5v5
why? at least make it 12v12
>>319452070
>mad because you bought a dead game
you know you can still get a refund right?
>>319448315
>10 Modes
Of which only 2 will probably ever be played
>10 Map
Which are clearly too big for 5v5
>6 Weapons
Seems low but not a big problem from the outset
The game looks really nice but it's going to need some real improvements before it's worth a buy.
reminds me of microvolts
I have a problem with everyone having all of the guns from the start, the rocket laucher is pretty much a free kill.
Gonna refund now but if the game is still alive down the road with improvements I may come back to it.
>>319451721
you could also stop, drop, and roll to put out the flames.
is the game well optimized ?
Heh it looks pretty fun. The maps look varied enough
>>319452027
It's shit, don't bother. It'll be completely dead in a few days, people are refunding left and right.
>no classes or pickups everyone just has guns
how to make a shit game in 1 step
>>319451721
is this really something that would make you buy the game are you retarded
>>319452207
>I'm going to hate a game simply because it doesn't have a certain animation that only plays in a very specific situation
You sound like a really fun person to hang around.
It's a neat game that's kinda fun and looks great, it's not balanced at all and has a few handling issues. For ten bucks its nice, the problem is going to be can it get a large enough playerbase to be worth it.
should have called it "army men: re-funded"
>>319452483
Fuck you
THANK YOU STEAM REFUNDS
>mfw reading the first thread from a couple hours ago and the disappointment that follows now
it's funny but also depressing
>>319452114
hurr durr
Big name streamers have big names behind them. When they are feeding them money and equipment, you're pretty forced to do what they ask, and that can be to play one of their video games.
http://www.makerstudios.com/
http://www.polarisgo.com/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCgsfZWMzHs
>>319452352
Very well optimized, just not very... well, good.
>>319452694
Big name streamers get big amounts of donations, they don't have corporations behind them. There is no conspiracy going on here, they just play whatever is new or popular to soak up the window shoppers.
>>319452918
I wish I was as naive as you
>>319452918
>they don't have corporations behind them
I literally just provided you with the websites of the corporations behind big name streamers like Markiplier, JonTron, and Pewdiepie.
You're seriously going to still deny this?
>>319453005
It's called not being retarded.
Forsen is a good example of how people throw money at streamers just to get their name on the screen. He makes $18-30,000 a month off bulk $2-5 donations.
>>319451721
Autistic kid detected. From all the things you could have complained about this is your reason for not liking it? Kill yourself retard lmaoo
>>319448737
>PC only game
>game not restricted by consoles in any way
>only manages to get 10 players at a time
>game still looks like shit
>>319453132
You do realize most people who put down a 2-5 dollar donation is CHARGEBACKING
Also streamers have viewbots, and donation bots. They make fake donations to entice others to donate.
>>319453161
>>319452483
are the game's devs in this thread?
>>319453330
Looks like it. They're mad as fuck that people are refunding en masse. They've been hiding and deleting negative reviews on the store page too.
![[rori] Kokoro Connect - 14 [71B1ED54].mkv_snapshot_19.40_[2015.11.24_18.05.43].png](https://i.imgur.com/VVp9204.png "[rori] Kokoro Connect - 14 [71B1ED54].mkv_snapshot_19.40_[2015.11.24_18.05.43].png")
Well, it's fun. I played a few games and it was fun, but I can already tell there is basically nothing to it. The gameplay just needs polish and fleshing out. Weapon pickups would be good, larger team sizes. Some kind of screenshake or sound effect when you get shot.
It's a good core, but there is a ton of little things that make it not very worthwhile. Maybe in time it'll be fixed, maybe not. And maybe by then it'll be dead.
>>319453309
You clearly live in your own little universe. Anyway.
>>319452352
It looks and runs great, the gameplay side of it is what you have to worry about.
for everyone refunding it, at least leave a review as to why so the devs can fix it
>>319448315
Im gonna wait til it becomes popular so i can hate it
>>319453465
the devs delete the reviews
>>319448315
I'm havingfun
>death to tans
>>319448315
>mfw people romanticize shitty old games
>>319453465
I did, and it got deleted like 5 minutes later.
>>319453607
spot the millennial
i bet you never even played with army men you fag
>dev just deleted my negative review
There goes any chance of this game getting better
>>319453441
I see you don't understand anything about how twitch works or how streamers get popular and you choose to ignore the facts in front of your face.
>>319453780
You're over 35? Why are you still on 4chan? Or do you just not know what a millennial is?
>>319453330
>gets called retarded for a stupid post
>"he has to be a dev!!"
No I am not you tard. This game looks well below average.
>you start with all weapons
Sounds like another toy shooter, at least it looks morefun.
>>319453607
>make a game that is literally banking on people's nostalgia for an old franchise to sell
>get called out for being a shitty game that isn't as good as the game it's trying to copy
>get mad and decide to call the original games shit
Modern indie dev logic.
>>319448315
Looks like everything I wanted in a new battlefield only army men which is good too
>>319453780
All of the Army Men games got horrible reviews when they first came out. It's alright if you enjoy them, but don't pretend they're not terrible.
Its not just 5v5 you can join servers that are full and play
>>319454181
It kicks out everyone after the game ends though
>>319454181
The devs say that's a bug and they will fix it.
It ruins a few maps having 20-60+ people on them but the game still runs perfectly fine, I just hope they do add in a way for people to still push the numbers that high. Bigger game modes would be lovely in the future.
>>319454129
>All of the Army Men games got horrible reviews when they first came out
i was talking about actual army men
I have great memories of playing army men and so the game really makes me nostalgia
>>319453735
>>319453793
I posted the very first negative review a couple hours ago and it's still up. But I think they've hidden it or something. It got hit suddenly with like 100 thumbs down in less than 2 minutes, and I'm not sure it shows it to anyone now. They also tried to comment on it a few times saying I was lying about all my complaints so I deleted those.
Devs shouldn't be allowed to delete reviews that system is such bullshit
>>319453554
>>319453735
Please, please don't let them be like this.
Please just let them accept the criticism and try to improve the game.
I want to love this game.
>>319454375
They should just increase the player limit to at least 10v10. The maps are massive, 10 players total doesn't work at all and the game can clearly handle it already.
Sounds like the developers are a fucking bunch of faggots.
>>319453309
okay now the tinfoil hat is on the other side of the argument
I have a fucking fetish for games that let you play as a small dude, exploring an environment of normal objects that make up the entire terrain.
I'd like this game, but it looks like the debs are cunts, deleting reviews...
Guess I'll stick to Toy Commander for the Dreamcast
>>319454604
Fairly certain devs can only mark reviews as spam or abusive, then steam support needs to step in.
>>319453465
thats just sad
i was going to grab a copy because i had some spare dosh lying around
i guess they dont want people buying the discounted version eh?
>>319455308
Have you played Pikmin?

It's so perfect. Too bad the game is meh.

>>319455936
I like the Christmas map music, it's like a mashup of different Christmas songs mixed with a military march
refunded. I love the visuals and the music, but the gameplay just isn't there. needs massive improvements in mechanics and map design

it's like I'm reading a steam review on 4chan
>>319457390
A lot of people do I think.
>>319457026
I think the devs have been playing it in random matches today or hired people to play it to gauge opinions (and perhaps boost player numbers). I was in a match and some guy said something along the lines of "this game reminds me of Battlefront but not as good" and a couple guys went off on him, told him to go play that instead then, and kicked him. It was absurd.
>>319457390
That's actually my review, but I'm not the person you just replied to. Problem?
>>319457642

Man, Army Men RTS was the shit.
This guy got extremely pissed off at me for using periods at the end of my sentence in the chat, I don't know if it was because I said the game needs work or what.
>>319457928
>not deploying those tanks with freeze mortars yourself
>>319459160
did you screencap it?
>>319459383
Nope sorry, I know that means it never happened but I don't really care. It was just weird.
There are a lot of people playing that get very angry whenever you say the game isn't perfect.
>>319459510
Mommy could only buy them 10 games this Christmas so if they aren't perfect it's your fault.
>>319459510
That goes for most games, but I've definitely noticed it too. I doubt it's buyer's remorse, it's only $10 and they could refund it, so I have no idea why they'd get so defensive unless they are the game's devs.
>>319459510
Welcome to Modern Gaming anon.
No criticism allowed.
>>319459754
I said the game has a lot of potential but all in all is poorly executed, some fella was like,
>SAYS THE IDIOT WHO BOUGHT IT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
I told him I could just refund it and he said,
>NOT IF YOU SPEND 2 HOURS CRYING ABOUT HOW BAD IT IS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
He got really mad every time I mentioned something that I think should be changed. He'd go
>FUCK OFF
every god damn time.
>>319460064
I've seen 3 different people react that same exact way to fairly harmless comments or observations about the game in the chat. That's pretty strange.
My favorite RTS.

One time my friend got so drunk and was throwing up non stop me and my other friend were freaking out because we were under age and had no idea what to do so we got my second friend's parents to drive him to the local hospital. When we got back and somehow not in trouble at all I played Army Men RTS for the first time before passing the fuck out, fun game.
are the devs still mad we're refunding their game? kudos on the graphics and music, but like... did you even playtest this shit?
>>319453227
Its coming to PS4/X1 tho
>>319461818
I think so, still trying to cover up negative reviews and deleting threads in the forum from what I can tell.

Who even owns the rights to the Army Men IP now? I'd really like to see GoG releases, but the series has been silent for a long time.
>>319462492
3DO took it to their grave I think, so anyone looking to get the rights would probably have to jump through a lot of hoops.

>>319462492
>>319462839
>>319462949
From what I can tell, the rights might currently be with 2K Games. After 3DO folded, the last couple games in the franchise were finished and released by another company, Global Star Software, who was then bought by 2K in 2007 and renamed 2K Play. The final Army Men game was a mobile title from 2010 by some other no name company though.

It's kind of fun, it's got a great starting point but it seems like something I'll refund if they don't improve on it in a few weeks.

Destination Software Inc. 2008,
Zoo Games 2008,
Connect2Media 2010.
>>319465013
Yes, I already checked wikipedia, thank you. Connect2Media was just the last publisher (for some shitty mobile game apparently). The franchise could have very well been bought out by someone else in the last five years.
If what >>319464192 says is true and 2K has it, it makes me wonder why they haven't done anything with it. I mean, they brought X-Com back, so they're obviously willing to revive franchises.
Purely speculation of course, I doubt we'll see the Army Men brand again.
>>319465743
It's a shame really. I feel like if they took the franchise back to its roots with a little bit of a modern sprinkling it could do well.
>>319464984
>>everytime you're close to doing an objective some nigger who just spawned in pulls a bazooka out of his ass and ruins your teams push turning it back into a stalemate

That reminds me of that Army Men 3 fan game that guy was working on.

I think the refunds are really starting to get to them. They're making some vague and very lofty promises right now on the forum, such as an implication of a single player campaign as free DLC. All this despite the fact that they were saying earlier that adding bots to the game would be too difficult...
