By that logic I suppose it was bad on that modder to let the thousands of people even use his garbage of a mod. No doubt those thousands of people wasted their time downloading it. If anything he should pay them back for the bandwidth they wasted. What a debacle!

What if someone makes a mod for a game that isn’t “fan content” but is instead a complete overhaul? You took that game engine and made a new game with it, how does that differ from using a licensed engine (even free licenses)?

Modding is the new web design. Everyone wants you to make it for them and they want you to do it for free because “exposure”.

Reading comprehension for descriptions on items, non-labeled tutorials, and learning situations within controlled environments to show you what you could run into in an uncontrolled environment are the tutorials.

It follows a similar system to Megaman X, you are introduced to something in a controlled environment and then thrown into a situation where it is no longer controlled. Rather than yell it at you with text bubbles, it gives you the situation and assumes you know how to press buttons to figure out what they do. I’d say…

Yet the backlash from his statement is inherently giving the game a bad review as the article also stated. The proper thing would have been to do an objective review as a professional or just not do it without the 5 minute talk on it.

Am I the only one here who finds it funny that TB is talking about being objective after posting an opinion and everyone is outraged that the dev called him a name and state that TB didn’t like their game in their own twitter post? Is this really what our society has boiled down to?

Because every game that didn't have a story was a bad game?

This and Necropolis are up there for me for games that have a gorgeous artstyle and I want badly.

At least I have Darkest Dungeon and Hyper Light Drifter to look forward to when they release this year.

Regardless of implication, the one time I’ve seen it even mentioned months afterwards there’s someone out there ready to make the bandwagon and then jump on it. I’d go on but it’s not anything that should even be a thing anymore, so I’ll let it die as quickly as possible.

I do find it absurd that people hate DQ as a game but everyone raved about Dear Esther or The Stanley Parable as the leader of a new era of indie game development. People are a bit over-sensitive thinking you can’t mesh an interactive writing or experience with the hundreds of games about BigGun McManHandler. They…

You’re probably thinking of the original mod. The game that sequeled the mod was completely free and even offered a free altered version of the Source SDK to make mods, levels, and even new games based off of it. Shame it never took off. I could see workshop revitalizing it though we won’t see that.

I did read the rest of the replies. I even continued discussion with some other people. It's unfortunately apparent you don't even want to discuss the matter you implied you wanted to. To lovingly top it off, you followed up with the exact toxicity you wanted to discuss. Thank you for being the example of your own…

The issue with that is less so about the actions and the anonymity and more-so about the owners of the mediums being used to do said actions not handling the matter more appropriately. Twitter is one of the worst offenders in that category. Their system is poorly constructed and even does little against stopping…

You did an amazing job derailing your own topic with a bit of the very thing you wanted to discuss. With anonymity you were able to make a backhanded statement towards someone without repercussions regardless of the situation. That right there is what drives toxicity, that bit of power you have that makes you drunk…

I suppose I believe a large company that I understand the structure of more than you. And I can tell you haven't dealt with customers and PR before so that's okay.

As someone who has written software and worked support, I can tell you that hand in hand, you don't pull this kind of thing off overnight let alone gradually. It's not some game where you throw alpha access at the masses either. You don't have to believe them, but there's no reason it won't change. It's not an if…

Can't speak for Humble Bundle as of the last year or so but in their first couple years they were superb. Perhaps they should bring back the support ninja chatbox.

You can't improve a broken system. Valve said, "yeah the system is completely wrong, we're working to rebuild it from the ground up and make sure it's very good from the get go".

What was that little switch closest to you that you flipped to near the end? Power? Figured that was handled a la Xbox with the center button.
