Do we have a proper Sekiro thread? I see a LP thread, and something in the Imp Zone which just seems to be a bunch of shitposting, but like an actual talk-about-getting-better thread? edit: vvv Thank you! Serephina fucked around with this message at 10:12 on Nov 29, 2023 |

Planet Coaster developer Frontier refocusing on sims after low sales of Warhammer RTS quote:UK developer Frontier has said it will refocus on making simulation games following the launch of real-time strategy game Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin. Age of Sigmar, lol. To be fair idk if they set their expectation really high because of that 250% they might have been used to, but still.

I wish I liked Planet Coaster/Zoo more than I do. People do some crazy stuff with the tools to make really elaborate looking parks but I don't have the patience to build enclosures and facades piece by piece for no reason other than to make it look nice and that's really a lot of what those games are. The actual management stuff takes a bit of a backseat to the park design minutiae.

Same problem. If I wanted to spend dozens of hours to make nice looking stuff, I'd rather learn 3D modelling or painting.

I care about all the technical details and Starfield is still really boring and bad. I was actually kind of excited for parts of it and went in expecting nothing from the story or really much besides the exploration due to modern BethSoft and it still disappointed me. I'm playing New Vegas again instead. explosivo posted:I wish I liked Planet Coaster/Zoo more than I do.

The actual management stuff takes a bit of a backseat to the park design minutiae. There's some really great player made enclosures and such for Zoo if you don't want to mess with that (I enjoy it, though). Planet Zoo is one of those games that I don't play a ton but when I do it's a full day session usually because I get so focused on it. I wasn't even aware an Age of Sigmar RTS had been released at all.

Why spending money marketing when you can reach out to a youtuber and offer them a free copy and maybe a tshirt to show the game off for you?

I played the demo of the Warhammer RTS in the steam NextFest and the reason you don't see any marketing for it is because it's so incredibly bland it doesn't even inspire people to make posts about it

Jack Trades posted:Game website articles. Youtuber coverage. loving, Steam ads at least?! I follow quite a few Youtubers who do RTS/Grand Strat/Total War stuff and only one of them kinda tepidly covered it? It's weird because this crowd doesn't just go for sponsored content and I would have expected to see them cover the AoS RTS but like, almost none of them did? Steam reviews seem tepid as well. Base price is 60 dollardoos with options for more expensive versions, so I think expectations for quality were high and it's just... Kinda on the vibe of a generic AA Warhammer License game, with a big helping of jank as well?

Absolutely nobody cares about Age of Sigmar. I have no idea why anyone would want to make the game in that utter void of a setting. Though, honestly, it fits Frontier.

A friend of mine bought Age of Sigmar and was telling me how cool it was and I thought he was talking about the VR 40k jawn, legit had no idea there was a new 40k RTS until he told me what it was. I also chose not to believe him about how cool it is because it looks bland as hell.

Yeah I think this is an instance of the demo actually being not great for the launch of the full game. I follow plenty of strategy YouTubers and there’s been some coverage, but not a ton and not very wholehearted. It’s just a kinda mid game. Antigravitas posted:Absolutely nobody cares about Age of Sigmar. I have no idea why anyone would want to make the game in that utter void of a setting. I don’t really agree with this, though. AoS as a game is plenty popular and the setting side of things has come a long way. I’m positive you could create good AoS games, this just isn’t one of them.

I'm pretty sure most influencers with actual numbers in their viewer base get paid a lot more for their marketing than a free game and a t shirt Less than traditional advertising platforms, sure, but the internet hasn't been 2002 for a while now

I think a spelljammer type RPG in AoS would be a fun time. It has that 3.5/Pathfinder vibe at times where you could have adventures in weird and wild places, meeting all sorts of creatures and strange dudes.

StrixNebulosa posted:I am confused by Myths of Rules, a text-based horror game by Chinese devs with a... workable translation. You click from node to node, drag nodes around, and it tells weird, interesting stories. I can't tell if they're helped by the weird translation or not, but it really feels like I've entered a strange, nightmarish like realm. This is strangely awesome lol. Really hard to explain but it's kind of like a collection of interactive stories all along the lines of those creepypastas that are like "My new gym has some strange rules to follow..... they say if a mysterious man asks you for a towel between 10:54 and 10:59, don't speak to him and leave immediately". Everything is handled through a flowchart but lots of little puzzles and tricks involve manipulating the text and positions of flowchart items. You can definitely tell the game has been translated by an amateur, but it doesn't feel poorly machine-translated or anything, just a little off to where, like you said, it gives it an otherworldly feeling. Really pleased with this for $2!
