@Toy_Link Awkward in 5-10 years? Ding ding! 🛎️

@spadgy Thanks for the review. I was spending a lot of time reading it waiting for the description of the unique control system that didn’t quite appear, but certainly was referenced. I know some games writers get taught to not delve in to that as much as possible, but it’s definitely something I look for in reviews of some games to get a feel for whether or not I could be at ease physically playing them after a bit of mindset adjustment and practice. Thank you for your time.

I did also enjoy the philosophy within the review that might baffle some, but makes a lot of sense as a stylistic choice for anyone that makes it halfway through this game.

@DashKappei looking forward to moving that box without being next to it in the early game for myself one day.

Yeah, it’s a shame it didn’t come closer to living up to the hype, and only now has been patched into what you’d expect from them at launch as far as bugs.

@DashKappei tendog again?
The problem is I only ever see tendog’s videos referenced. No one else.

It’s at Vooks’ social media that I saw a couple of the team mention their opinion it was faked.

None of the major outlets checked it out for themselves or even mentioned how the layout needed to access the room could only exist early in the game.

I’m surprised that it’s not an option in the UK.
I’m in Australia and we use the backend of the German EU store. We have our issues like not being able to digitally purchase games banned in Germany without setting up an account in another region and figuring out how to purchase that way, but refunds are an option at least.

That’s very kind of you.

@Nanami_Ataraxi P Plenty of people managed to get refunds for Baldo: Guardian Owls back in the day. There is a refund process you can go through to get store credit back that’s quicker and easier than expected. Week 1 Sports Story should have qualified.

@DashKappei I’m all for having my mind changed about it, but the Australian games media were expecting them to make this joke in the previous patch notes haha.

So how did the real dev room you’ve seen in action differ to that youtube mock up that went viral?

The dev room that totally existed beyond that one video that was mocked up haha.

@Anti-Matter unfortunately I don’t think the game would be true to a setting of ‘90s Indonesia without some tobacco usage. You probably have many bad memories of how prevalent it was while growing up.

@angrymice I think if I’ve learned anything about the gaming industry during the past three years its to not offer open insights about the video game process. Eventually someone gets upset about the way things are presented and some over-the-top controversy blows up with people attributing faked abusive messages to you bringing in more hate. It’s so weird and I completely understand why developers clam up and don’t offer clear or unfiltered communication about things such as getting funded, the story writing process, or game coding for a big game when there’s so little to gain and so much to lose.

@Banjo- That was shut down at the end of 2017, but yes the Wii U had video chat.

Ha! I’ve played Astro Bears. Silly quick party game.

It’s the second anniversary of development for “Mother 4”, but I don’t like what I see so far. There’s a few elements missing at the moment that I closely associate with the Mother series and that battle rhythm demonstration shows something that needs a lot more work. Hopefully they prove me wrong after another two years.

@Twilite9 a sequel to Earthbound Halloween?
I quite liked Toby’s approach. Make a small fan game that people enjoy, and go on to make your own original game using what you learned.

@Bakfug Every team was running a crustle if they were paying attention after that accidental mega buff. It could easily push through a two opponents to the space on the map it wanted to occupy and rack up huge scores.
It was hilarious for a little while, but I’m glad they patched it.

@Dm9982 The September patch from a few days ago seems to have gotten Cyberpunk to an acceptable state. It’s not quite the game many of us expected, but you can now play a decently bug fixed version of what came out at launch.

Definitely worth diving into for a few hours to experience.
