Dunno if this has been pointed out before (prob has) because I'm like 30 pages back, but apparently viewing the terrible games on the steam website leaves a cookie or whatever that the client reads, because my recommended stuff is now full of total trash like:



Where before it was mostly general big release stuff.

Steam bad.

edit: oh, literally last page this was posted. Steam still bad.

Looks like the Survarium (game by some of the Stalker devs after GSC canceled Stalker 2 and shut down) devs are jumping on the Battle Royale bandwagon. 100 legally distinct "hunters" drop into the "area" to battle for Fedorovich's Loot Crates.

Man, that's disappointing. I loved the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. It sucks that former S.T.A.L.K.E.R. devs decided to poo poo out another unnecessary battle royale in the same general theme.

Okay, for all I know this game might just turn out to be perfectly decent, but I only really got as far as "Early Access multiplayer open-world zombie survival game". I mean, still? Who still looks at the market and decides we still need another one of these loving things? This one in particular seems to have decided the particular improvement the genre needs is absolutely :spergin: levels detail on the most inane poo poo:

quote:

Complex Simulation: SCUM utilizes dozens of complex systems to allow players to go as deep as they choose into the management of their character. Players can delve into the minutia of the survival experience through systems controlling their character’s metabolism, inertia during movement, and even how fast layers of clothing dry on and off the body. The devil is in the details...

I feel like the glut of survival games is my monkey’s paw moment because I used to complain that I wanted to see some modern attempts at a Robinson’s Requiem style survival game (which involves a lot of interesting field triage and things but the interface is VERY “90’s game design”). Instead what I got was hunger meters and “crafting systems” and multiplayer focus and it’s just like.... “no, not like that”.

Although funny enough that game you linked is a lot closer to what I was envisioning than most.

This was recommended to me by Steam a few days ago (why??) and it actually looks pretty good. The graphics are awesome, and it's by Croteam, who made Serious Sam and The Talos Principle.

Still, the multiplayer part will no doubt be 100% gankers.

Aha so it turns out the assets for Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass only partially came from a "100 Serious Sams parachute onto a island from the Talos Principle" game. :allears:

See I actually like all that detail although the way it's presented is TERRIBLE. My worry is that despite all that the damage system is some ultra-basic "HP" thing like every other game rather than actually getting specific injuries that require different treatments.

It is kind of ridiculous that you'd somehow be able to KNOW all that information, but I think it ties in with the fiction of the game that you've got some sort of constant vitals monitoring (I don't know much about it but I think it's meant to be some kind of "Running Man" death sport game show thing).

Related: Here's an article about the game that is the source of literally everything I know about it thus far. Also features gifs of the player character making GBS threads, because that's what we want in games, right? Realistic poop physics?

It's not ALL of them, but the trends for protagonists being shouty manchildren or grumpy teenagers (of all ages) haven't helped. And that they usually get zero character development while gaining a zillion powerups that make the supporting cast irrelevant for everything but filler and commentary.
