I like the whole "nimble approach to development to ferret out the best innovations" which judging from Underworld game, means cutting lots and lots of corners

 

[Max Heap]

Sometimes I feel like this thread is only still going on because you guys haven't played the game.

It's like missing a funeral and therefore lacking a sense of closure.

 

[Child of Malkav]

It will probably go on until Otherside closes down. What a spectacle this was.

 

[Nifft Batuff]

"Cazzarola!", as my grandpa always said.

it seems like only yesterday when they kicked off the kickstarter and immediatly jumping into the deep end with talks of implementing complicated eco systems

 

[Alphard]

It seems the game just isn't for you. If you don't like it don't play it. Like every game tlit's a matter of taste

 

[Efe]

Finally, an ally against unclean hordes of decline!

The thing about studio boilerplates: they're not written for players, they're written for investors and press releases.

It's no different when it comes to politicks or anyone who's bullshitting you: they use a lot of words, but don't make much sense. You can literally cross out the grass speech and see what's left. In the same vain you can simplify lawyer speak (although in this case you have to put in some extra effort for translating the remaining sentences into English).

Sry i was just trolling. I would never post that reddit tier nonsense seriously

 

[Hines]

According to his Twitter bio, Joe Fielder's back to being a writer following his unsuccessful stint as game director. He's now working on Deathloop. Nate Wells is also at Arkane, but working on an unannounced project at the Austin studio.

 

[MasterLobar]

Good! Joe always seemed to be such a nice guy. Nice to see those liars and fraudsters at Otherside couldn't ruin his career.

Sadly there was nothing complex about UA, a more shallow game would be hard to find.

The only complicated thing about it was trying to work around the game bugs ... or just finding a reason to enjoy it.

I gave up, really did, did try again on final patch and wrote it all off to bad experience and pure lies and deception from the beginning. Criminal charges should be bought against these people for pure and utter blatant lies and deception.

OK: It's the software gaming industry, but should they be exempt from lying and taking our money on false deception? Of course, they should not, its theft, its false pretences, moving the goal posts when kickstarter funds came in, its out right FRAUD the same as anything else.

I've not seen such dishonesty in this industry in my whole life, it's a bloody disgrace, and alll over one of the best game franchises of all time too ... these scum have no standards anymore.

Mind-numbingly boring chore fetch fest of pure fucking crap, with no redeeming quality whatsoever is what UA is and that's me on a kinder day.

Lies to everyone, from beginning to end ... what is our society becoming? It used to just be the domain of politicians to lie, now thanks to these fools we have to contend with game Devs lying to us too in hordes and expect to make a living out of it ... something needs to change, society is going backwards, maybe even imploding if we think the road to success are lies and half truths with no intent, ever to fulfil.

I just hope these shitheads have not opened the flood gates for other Devs to follow suite for the quick buck lying route, but I fear they may have set a trend, if they can get away with it, others will try to ... rest assured of that, the fuckers have already tried to do it with SS3 but have been caught out.

Pure shit/drivel and an easy candidate for worst game ever made, especially so considering what went before it.

Pure bile

It really does sadden me some morons supported this crap and still claim they enjoy it ... says quite a lot about them ... I guess. very, very, very sad

I never thought I would write this a few years ago, but after UA, its probably as well SS3 is not getting released, we do not need another franchise ruined forever by fraudsters and liars out for a quick buck with a stupid buggy shallow game to show for it.

 

[Nifft Batuff]

It goes deeper than that. I don't think that the Otherside devs have became particularly richer after this scam. It's a cultural thing forced by economy. Marketing has been so internalized in human psyche that lies and incompetence are so common and happen everywhere.

 

[Katana1000S]

Nifft is quite correct of course, its all very sad how lies prevail these days, just who are we all fooling? Ourselves.

Why can't people just say NO in the face of blatant obvious lies, Game dev or real global Politicians, why do some become willing lemmings to their cause?

Efe ... I fully realize you are in this for the giggles at times, but your trolling does not help, its seen as a sign by other Devs to keep ripping off simpletons like you, please stop the trolling already and look at the bigger picture.

 

[Efe]

There is no harm since otherside does not post here and no other sane developer looks to a flop like this for information or validation.

even if otherside came knocking, I doubt they would mentally survive an encounter in this thread

 

[Katana1000S]

Otherside are finished Efe, we do have one ex dev/whistleblower/colleague here trying to do some damage limitation, that's not worked well, has it.

When will you ever let go of this retard game and grasp some sense of reality boy?

 

[Katana1000S]

FFS: their own forums are dead now from their feedback, what the fuck will it take to convince you its over and has failed?

Are you really this dense, Efe?

 

[MasterLobar]

Your signature quotes Chris Avellone...

 

[Efe]

i agreed with you and u still rated my post shit and trying to dogpile..
you really take this antifanboism too far

 

[MasterLobar]

Some dude on the official forum is trolling the devs.

"Happy holidays everyone! Any news about updates for Underworld Ascendant for X1/PS4/PC? Especially about late patch for X1. I wish you great achievements and creative innovations in new year."
