I am profoundly disappointed that you didn't collect all the crystals (there is a single crystal completely encased in a glitched tree hitbox in level 5. Level 5 takes about 40 minutes to complete.)

The game was already boring us to tears as is; I can't imagine actually looking for and collecting every worthless crystal in that game. It's just a functional but bland game where you basically do nothing but run straight for 20 minutes each level. There's hardly any obstacles or platforms (especially after level 1), and the game wasn't even broken enough to provide comedic entertainment.

This thread is slowly turning into a lovely games speedrunning thread and I like it.

Oooooh, let's stop posting visual novels because they're such a low bar it's not even worth going for any more! Gosh, I really hope something even worse comes along today to make us all know what truly low quality sexual pandering looks like!

That's kind of demented. Why would anyone give a poo poo about steam achievements? It's not even like you have a Gamerscore to proudly show off next to your name, and it doesn't count toward your "level" right?

Some people take their poo poo and draw on the walls in public restrooms. Who knows how anyone's mind loving works?

That seems to be a straight up porn game. I wonder how long until Valve wises up and takes it down.

Never? Porn anime games have been up for years. As for the quality, it's bad. Giant Bomb played a few minutes and several YouTubers have and it is literally Cinemax Porno: The Game.

Its also not censorship. Its an individual refusing to sell/promote a product because its against their interest. Steam isnt making them remove the porn, they just wont sell porn.

Case and point, this shouldn't be on Steam.

But honestly, I could spam and fill this thread with asset flips. I check new releases multiple times a week and see half a dozen every loving week. They're the leading argument on why an open Steam is a horrible thing.

Not entirely true. Hunie Pop at least has titties without a patch. I know it's not as egregious but it's still pretty shifty.

Well, then I stand quite corrected.


Back when the first AssCreed came out I rented it via Gamefly for the 360 and did all the flag collecting poo poo for the achievement. Well, almost. I did all but something like three of them before saying, "Well this is just a drat waste of my time collecting a bunch of poo poo for a stupid achievement!" I have since realized I should have had come to that conclusion after finishing it.


But, again, that had gamerscore associated with it. I literally have no idea why these 9000 achievement games are a thing.

They have embraced a laissez-faire attitude and have the idea that if you don't like it, don't buy it or play it.

Almost every single person I've ever complained about the loving landfill that is Steam these days gives the same excuse.

The problem is that Steam is like a great store that often has great things and awesome deals that decided to let anyone come in and also sell stuff. In theory, you could get some really neat and unique gems that someone was previously selling out of their garage so you never knew about it. But the reality is that you have a bunch of homemade sex toys, barely legal ripoffs, and other downright made-with-toxic-chemicals poo poo that the cool garage guy is buried under all their poisonous dildos.

"Don't like it don't play it," doesn't really work here.

That's the problem. The don't like it don't buy it argument can't really be beaten. It's technically correct, vote with your wallet and such. But it can only go so far defending such low quality and questionable content.

It's kind of like the old rear end beaded curtain at a video store. You know what's back there and you know whether or not you're interested. It's not surfaced hardly at all (barring last week's Humble Bundle with a dozen anime porn games) but neither are the actual unappreciated grems that are released alongside the deluge of low quality garbage.

Truth be told, as much as I hate them and think they're garbage, the porn games are a niche and sell. A lot are incredibly low quality, but they're honest in their own right. My biggest complaint are the things lowering the marketplace bar. Asset flips, games asking for money off the books for achievements, the ten thousand achievement games, all the poo poo that actually is questionable and should be moderated against as scams literally have no consequence to taking advantage of and further breaking the system.

Maybe don't go giving Valve credit for Left 4 Dead when all they did was buy it and then polish it up. Turtle Rock was 95% of that game.

In the same way Valve just bought and polished up Narbacular Drop, sure.

From what I've read, Turtle Rock did most of the work and Valve brought their particular brand of polish to it so that it didn't end up like Evolve. There's a chance Valve may have done more than I've seen but what most of what I've seen has basically said Turtle Rock was just renamed Valve and did what they were going to do for the most part.
