Very little about this game that appeals to me, other than art style. Speedrunning? Nope. Deck builder? Nope. Dating Sim (that isn’t Persona)? Nope.

and yet, so intrigued. Glad you mentioned Paradise Killer as well (love that game). I initially thought this might be a followup project from them.

“Probably cause most Juneteenth celebratory stuff is being done as a last minute, half assed cash in.”
Yeah, this is probably the biggest factor. Are they charging for it? It’s not free?

Oof. Full point. lol.

I dunno. QA’s job is literally quality assurance. Yeah, it should never have made it that far, but us programmers shouldn’t put bugs in our games, artists shouldn’t accidentally make clouds that look like copyrighted characters, etc etc.
If this was a small game with no budget, sure, QA is just making sure it doesn’t…

I would be more willing to believe that somehow it default populated the field. Bonobo is kind of too short of a word to have in your copy buffer, and who copies the tool name? If it was Bonobo.Exe or something, I’d go with this theory, but I don’t see a workflow where you’d have your tool name copied.
“how do you…

We know 343 didn’t mean for this to happen, but how did it not get caught? I’d be sweating if I was in QA. I’d take a 50/50 bet that someone on QA noticed it and chose not to say anything...

Anthem-like? Not sure that’s the best way to describe things, at least in the optimistic phase. :P

“Unfortunately, Layers of Fears isn’t the Silent Hill project fans were hoping it to be.”

You misspelled “Fortunately” and “fearing”.

The first one is pretty good, and the reason why I’ve played all their other awful games.
 But the main thing, I think, is that LoF1 is a 3 hour game. Observer, Blair Witch, The Medium... they’re all 3 hour games that are 8 to 10 hours. So much filler. I think that’s the biggest flaw. I always like the first few hours…

It looks like they’ve rolled back the previous price reductions in the store and everything’s 30% more, like with launch...

You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. Drop a special thanks to the kid’s family, and we all good.

Plot Twist: It really is Silent Hill and it’s AMAZING. This is just the craziest marketing scheme.

It’s bizarre to me that they would even consider releasing it without voice clips, let alone actually doing it.
At the first least, I would have expected them to reuse lines from the shows. I’d imagine that Nick would’ve had full buyout of the voices (especially back when these shows were made) so they could use them…

I smell New Twitter’s first free-speech violation ban.

I used Carja Shadow almost the entire game because it was one I thought was legit cool looking...

The gamepaas numbers are a big colourful goose egg.

Yes yes, I’ve heard this line before. The volcano sharks will make a great President because they’re *not* politicians.
Still, couldn’t be worse >_>

It’s good they’re listening to feedback, but it does amuse me that their live service is about 50% “Does a thing/undoes the thing. That’s 2 updates. you’re welcome!”
