Because the idea that one must have a corporate job in order to be successful is so ingrained that some people literally can't comprehend people going into business for themselves and being more well off than they would have been otherwise.

Black August posted:I always respected the guy for trying something different every game, and I really liked the idea behind the mechanics of the 4th one. I have no idea why he got so popular and people are so rabidly obsessed with it, but I am very happy his kids can grow up in financial security and he can retire comfortable. FNAF has a really really insufferable fanbase that heavily overlaps with furries. Not Scott's fault but that's probably why misguided people dislike him.

There's a touching Scott post somewhere about stocking shelves under the supervision of high school kids as an adult for a living. He made something and got lucky, good for him

He totally struggled for most of his adult life working lovely jobs while his games went unnoticed for over a decade before striking gold. Dude put in his time and earned his scare cam furry money.

Just played what there is of Layers of Fear. If you enjoy walking through doors that aren't locked and not walking through the ones that are locked until you get to the end of the game then this game is for you.

Niggurath posted:I think the person was just joking considering they were using some joke from Family Guy about faux aggravation. Also I found 'Layers of Fear' to be pretty enjoyable for the most part. It did some interesting setups for some of the scares and the only thing that seemed fairly janky was the 'death' mechanic. Like I couldn't really understand how to avoid death or if it was possible, or if it was just some mechanic to reset room position. Maybe it'll get fleshed out more in the final product. Additionally, speaking of something that I wish could get a final product, Darkwood always seemed super interesting and it still gets updated...but it's also been in early access for a year and half and hasn't gotten past development of the prologue it seems.

I just picked up The Forest on Steam. I saw it was mentioned earlier in the thread and just wanted to pop in and say that game ate most of a day for me. It's a pretty freaky experience and playing it co-op with a couple of friends was really fun. It's easy to get used to the cannibals and how to deal with them, but then you go thirty yards into a cave and see things that legit make you not want to go any further. And gently caress, if you get killed...ugh. I was curious about what you guys think about it these days. At like $15 I'd say it's a solid purchase.

Fojar38 posted:FNAF has a really really insufferable fanbase that heavily overlaps with furries. Not Scott's fault but that's probably why misguided people dislike him. The other night I watched a streamer play FNaF World and its amazing how so many folks in chat expressed how much they despised the game, called Scott a sellout/moneygrubbing, called all fans autists, and so on. It feels like for every insufferable FNaF fan there's five anti-fans who flat-out ignore that fact for all the furries there's tons and tons of little kids who adore FNaF. Scott's fanbase are literally children. After all, remove all the obsessive fan theories and you're left with a slightly spookier jack-in-the-box; stuffing you in a bear suit and popping your eyes and teeth out sounds like a fate from Goosebumps. It's just amazing how people can get so frothing angry over FNaF yet defend Undertale to the death (like several in chat were) or refuse to separate product from consumer.

This is the #1 thing here. Fan(atics) are the absolute worst and nobody should want to seek them out or look at it even from a distance to ridicule. And it's really annoying when people judge a product based on this very loud minority that they can't help but engage directly because it's the internet and everything is freely available for you to view. You know you've made it big as a creator when the people who proclaim to love your work utterly repulse you or even worse attack you for not catering to them hard enough. If somebody unironically calls you a sellout then you're probably doing well.

Shindragon posted:Wow that is really nice of him to do that. I hope he takes this not to rush games even though it has worked in the past for his series. The reason it worked for the other games is because the engine was made and all the assets were made and he just had to make some new models/images/whatever and then put it together. He also had the base formula to build off so it was a lot easier to make a new game. This RPG thing is totally different and he's doing a new engine (probably since I doubt it's RPGMaker) and more new things so it takes more work. I don't know why he didn't include some of that super basic poo poo like having a map and seeing stats of stuff including the party. That's a basic RPG thing. Good on him to admit he hosed up and pull it and then offer it for free.

It is a fate worse than death.

So, I'm about two or three hours into Soma and it's frankly boring me to tears. It just seems to consist of wandering around overly large empty areas searching for the next maguffin to open up a door to more emptiness and occasionally an easily avoidable monster or two shows up. Also, the voice acting is garbage and so is the story so far. It has the "cheesy fairground spookride" feeling of Machine for Pigs. Do it get any better or is it just more of the same going forward?

Lunchmeat Larry posted:Not really, if it's not working for you now it's not going to anytime soon. I liked it but I can see why it didn't work for a lot of people, it's very walking simulator-ey. I gave it another hour or so and binned it. It's an incredibly dull game. I don't mind walking simulators at all. I really liked Gone Home, Dear Esther and Everybodys Gone to the Rapture. I loved the first Amnesia and didn't mind the second one at all but Soma is just utter shite. Bad on pretty much every level. I usually don't feel cheated out of money when I don't like a game but this thing got criminally boring about 15 minutes in and never recovered so I'm pissed at myself for wasting 20 odd quid on it.

There isn't one outside of delaying it a bit to try to build hype. not liking the fandom isn't really a reason either since it's not really in his control who likes his games, or how crazy they get.

I felt that the first part of Soma was the weakest part, funnily enough the game becomes much more interesting and intellectually engaging once you meet your companion character. Some of the best encounters in the game are after that stage. This game feels very back-loaded, the opening is weak, but it gets better and the quality never falls off at the end.

Dying repeatedly to the first stealth section in Alien Isolation. I don't know if I'm bad at stealth or if the game hasn't told me something important yet, or I haven't figured it out.
