147 games/apps in the store. 103 to go before the end of the year for XBoxPants to not get banned... I dunno, I still don't think it'll reach 250.

Final Fantasy 3 had hundreds of upvotes last time someone looked, so I'd guess it might sell a few thousand copies. That's right - the "indie" console of the future's best selling game is a port of an android game that's a port of a DS game that's a remake of a game from 1990, made by one of the largest game developers in the world primarily known for their incredibly high production value games, most especially their lavish cutscenes.

Protocol7 posted:103 games/apps is a lot to ask for out of a console that's dead on arrival. It's worth noting that they had 104 at launch, so in the past 3 months, they've gained about 44. At their current rate, XboxPants'  is going to come down to the wire.It's worth noting that 20% of those were one guy dumping 9 emulators at the same time. edit: Almost every single tweet with #ouyapark in it is from the food truck company.

I don't put it past Ouya people to heap ever increasing amounts of shovelware bullshit onto their market even as it becomes obvious the thing is a failure. They might not be as visibly retarded as the Buttcoin crowd, but the same delusions are obviously at play.

You know, it makes me kind of sad that someone probably worked pretty hard to make that piece of poo poo, and they're proud and/or oblivious enough of it to show it to other people. It makes me even sadder knowing that there will probably be plenty of people to feed that delusion.

When did beta become this catchall safety net for "Don't blame us for any bugs" The problem, as with any jargon, is once it becomes mainstream and enters the modern vernacular the word becomes corrupted. Now its a marketing excuse. Just like "cloud" has become a marketing buzzword. Yeah calling DOTA 2 a "beta" at this point is pretty silly. They have goddamned tournaments where people win money; the beta is loving over.

Relevant thread for more fun! alsutton@ouya posted:[Just to make clear, my posts are my views on things, not an official statement from OUYA] TL;DR - if anybody screws their system up, it's not possible to do anything with it, without having USB keyboard to crash the startup. It's not an issue due to "user error". Well - if I were to buy a car, and if I replaced the engine, and if I were to see it's not working, I'd, I guess, put the original engine back on? In this, broken, analogy, the new engine has exploded sending parts flying everywhere. On the other hand - I do see the point he's trying to make, though even on Windows, if I screw something up I *can* install a fresh copy and am not left with useless piece of junk.

That would be just LOVELY if they hadn't literally advertised "Hackers welcome". "Hackers welcome to try, but if you screw anything up you've voided your warranty and we're not going to fix it" is the policy of every other piece of hardware in the world, so it's pretty irritating that they act like they're more friendly. They still haven't realized that "really wanting to be a certain way" or "saying we will be a certain way" doesn't make you that way.

quote:It's open to anyone to write games and apps without having to pay dev kit and licensing fees, it's open in that once you have your console you can code for it. And with the quality of games that are showing up on their marketplace, I wonder if they're reconsidering the idea.

DOTA 2 has been a beta for so long because they've tested different aspects before deciding it was fully released - server capacity, character balance, community management and so on. I believe it's exiting beta fairly soon, at least according to RPS. The DON'TBUY is in beta because they're figuring out new ways to fleece consumers.

I believe it's exiting beta fairly soon, at least according to RPS. Their motivations may be different, yes, but the important point is that neither is truly in beta, the term is now meaningless. Both are released (well OUYA is about to be, and is for kickstarters) and yet continuing to finish features. That's not beta, that's unfinished. You can do an unfinished release, sure, but that sounds bad so they call it a public buy-in beta. (and leave the buy-in part out) Nothing wrong with that per-se, except its completely against the original term of beta in software context, which was a round of testing prior to release which takes place off-campus.

Also the reason we actually have a 'beta' like this for Dota2 is because players saw how it looked at The International and there was such a massive outcry for a beta that valve had to crank out invites and servers to hold everyone in.

Doesn't something being a "beta" also take a lot of legally mandated support stuff off the table? I always heard that as the reason for Google apps being in beta in perpetuity.

You can argue the same for both considering the sheer amount of TF2 like crap that's flooding the shop (I swear to god, it's now my goal in life to find the employee who thought it was a bright idea to create those chests, kidnap him and put him in a room jigsaw style and make him spend the rest of his time unlocking chests in hopes that one will contain the key to his freedom).

Don't give them any ideas, I can already see it now: Introducing the Ouya Surprise(tm)! For the low low price of $99.99 we'll ship you one of 3 different versions of Ouya and one of 2 different controllers! Will you get the "dev console" or the amazing wifi blocking vanilla one? Who knows! The combinations are endless, you'll have to collect 'em all to find one that actually works!
