Fall Guys is good and fun. I got it today and just lost two hours to it without realising. Still have yet to win, but strangely addicting. I can only imagine how crazy it would be with friends.

Team rounds are hectic. Although I feel that the lack of any sort of chat functionality makes it seem kind of lifeless.

I'm on the edge of refunding it because on the one hand, it has multiple different maps which are silly and fun. On the other hand, you play with random people on random maps and not all of them are great. I feel that the lack of any sort of lobby, chatroom or anything of the sort dampens my enthusiasm. The more I think about it, the more it feels like SC2: Wings of Liberty on release, except the UMS maps are gated by random chance and the skill of other people.

Hell, I wish Laser League got big. That game really pulled me in, and you could pull of some real mindgames there.

Where are you getting these friends, I recently wishlisted Subverse and no one at all on my friends list wants it. I don't know 80% of the people on there, so I'd assumed there'd be at least some horndogs.

They are, if anything, less horny than I anticipated. I had never even heard of Subverse until last week during a discussion on sex games in general (I also found out about Being A DIK around then).

Sex Poker looks kind of lazy and is apparently scam for loot your money, though.

I’m honestly surprised that high-quality porn games (like, generally decent games that also have porn content) aren’t topping the Steam bestseller list more often. It seems like an obvious way to make tons of money on a polished but otherwise unremarkable game, but it doesn’t seem like it really happens.

Yeah, that also came up last week. We might be seeing a breakthrough in 2020, where developers finally start trying to fill in this niche. Of course, the obvious problem for them is that the visibility (and to a lesser extent, the audience) will always be limited for this type of game.

There are a remarkable number of Steam curators that are either a bot that "curates" every game with the same quote (like "Batman Curator" who just responds "I'm the Goddamned Batman" to every game released) or are so wildly specific in their review criteria (the "does it have denuvo" types who only give a thumbs up/down based on that metric and no other qualities) that "number of curators" is a pretty terrible metric.

I'm thinking Subverse might be -the- triple-A Western porn game. It might be too much to hope that it'll crush the market for those hentai jigsaw or stolen art porn games. Those all still exist despite the presence of the Senran Kagura series, Akiba's Trip, Gal*Gun, Conan: Exiles, Dead or Alive, VR stuff, Genital Jousting (the most erotic of them all), etc.

porn stuff will never take off or get big imo because "lol buying porn" is to ingrained so it'll just get pirated

I hope they can throw a lot of resources at this over the next month or two. If it doesn't reach a critical mass some big developer is going to push out a polished mtx version and make themselves a buttload of money.

I like the idea of the game, but the execution just doesn't grab me all that much. There is a number of things that'd need improvement before the game really starts to shine. Maybe I'll give it a second chance later on, but for now I've refunded it.

Note: it works perfectly fine on Windows 7.

It doesn't need to crush anything, I think the two niches only overlap somewhat. I'm not interested in those hentai dating sims. I have no problem with them, everyone is obviously free to play them to their heart's content, they just don't appeal to me. The (imo) overused anime aesthetic plays an important part in that.

If Subverse actually succeeds at what it promises, and doesn't have any dodgy stuff, I'll probably check it out. Whether or not it will succeed, and whether or not it will sell well even if it does, yeah, that's a different matter.

Hopefully they added something to make re-arranging and designing your town less painful. Not being able to use the mouse and the selector moving at a speed you'd get bored just crossing the screen made doing that so painful it's what stopped me playing last time I tried that game.

FallGuys looks fine but there isn't a lot of levels and there's nothing about the physics that looks fun/wacky in the way that Gang Beasts does so it just doesn't look that fun to play to me. It's only $20 so that's not a bad asking price for a couple hours of fun but I feel like this might disappear once the initial marketing rush for it dies down.

For the single quote ones I think the original one was the Commander Shepard one which was a moderately funny gimmick by itself, but since this is the internet the joke had to be run into the ground by dozens of copycats.

There's one Denuvo curator that's genuinely useful, though, for every goddamn time the game doesn't even list Denuvo on the store page. Or for when they actually remove the Denuvo, since it's very quick to update to reflect that too.
