I would also still appreciate some danger.



Are they even pretending there's a legit reason to call the game that?

Jesus Christ it's like all these asset flips are in a game of toeing the line and seeing what they can get away with. I don't even believe they're legitimate representations of these ideologies so much as seeing who's willing to go furthest. I have to. I just have to....

I imagine a lot of it is just ironic where they're only pretending to be white supremacists, but also basically using the irony excuse as a means of covering their asses because they're actually white supremacists.


In other words, something steeped in irony to the point that it is no longer ironic.

I'm....legit sort of worried about the mental health of this developer:

Internet Simulator. It's a VR game. Features include:

quote:

-Ability to browse the internet via a virtual computer
-OS on the computer with mail and gallery, PC can be turned off via a button within the OS interface
-Comments when you visit certain web-sites
-2 Levels to choose from (much more to come)
-Interactivity and a feature of the level "Room" - you can turn on and off the lights, turn off the computer through the PC case, and you can also kill the character forcing him to jump out the window.
-Interactive objects that can be moved
-Ability to walk, run, sit on a chair
-Steam Achievements
Experimental:
-Ability to pray to Putin and get money for that (Tab to pray, E to stop praying)
-Ability to buy furniture for that money in online store
-Ability to call dancers

quote:

In a few months after release next to the player there will be optional to sit a friend (female or male AI) that will comment on the sites on which the player enters. With a friend you can also talk on different topics, and I'll try to make as many dialogs as possible so that the player won't be sad from the fact that his friend is just an AI.

It seems to be a game where you sit and gently caress around on the internet, but you do it in VR. Features that make the VR version supposedly better than reality: having a nicer room, having money, having strippers, having a friend, killing yourself.

the weird thing is, that nazi Stranger Things knockoff actually doesn't seem to be an asset flip. it's just extremely bad and unoriginal.

Not sure what I think of Face au train. Basically, the company that runs all the French trains has released a VR thing to teach people about train safety. In practice, it seems to be a way to simulate hideous train-related accidents from the safety of your living room. Watch a dude blown twenty feet when he touches a high-voltage power line!

And there, till Christ call forth the dead,
In silence let him lie:
No need to waste the foolish tear,
Or heave the windy sigh:
The man had killed the thing he loved,
And so he had to die.

Things the free version has that that doesn't (according to the reviews)

  • voice acting
  • a decent art style
  • gear that actually changes character appearance

things that version has:

  • a price tag
  • anime
  • ???

For a crappy mid-2000s flash RPG the original wasn't bad at all.
Also this is a lot more American graphic novel than anime. Kinda reminds me of those Mass Effect comics they make you play if you start off with the sequels.

The sad thing is that the base premise of different choices having physical and narrative effects on your friends would be a solid premise for a surreal body horror game. But no, this has to be all furry pirates and implied rape and muscle sharks with tits.
