[AliceAlcina]

Anyway, they started to delete discussions that don't paint them in positive light.

Any examples?

there was thread "Early Access? Are you joking", now nowhere to be found.

They really need to stop using BG as their acronym. It's already taken and people will get confused.

nobody outside the Kodex cares tbh

If they're making a game based of BG, they probably shouldn't use the acronym BG. BG was a good game, and BG has potential to be a good game, and although I don't think BG will surpass BG, I think BG will be fun when it comes out.

BG will eclipse BG enough that no one will talk about BG anymore

 

[Krivol]

BG will be better than BG!

WTF is up with the animations in this game. The running animations are bad but the combat animations are even worse.

Same John Walker that was at RPS previously? I stopped reading as soon as I saw his name.

If this is true, the name Black Geyser will be strangely appropriate.

More like the sequel to 2 girls 1 cup.

Q1 2022 for full release, nothing to see, not much to play once again. Not going to do QA for free.

exactly my words, BG will deliver that oldschool feel

We can abbreviate Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness with BG:CoD or, even better, B====D

How about B-Gay?

 

[AliceAlcina]

Don't get me wrong, but this gay jokes got old really fast. I understand they choose poor name, but they are way too shady about important stuff and that's a problem for their backers. Although, backers seem to love being gaslighted by these company, so what could I say.

Could you please stop treating us as mature adults? Thanks.

I haven't looked at this title for ages, but it looks like they really cleaned up the art and animation. Sadly, "story rich" is the first bullet point.

Luckily, that story takes place in SCHOOLFART

story rich"

Translation error, the game is about being greedy.

They have to appeal to the people that don't want to engage with a games mechanics and don't put much research into the game. The people who like combat tend to do a little bit more research and know what's up so less advertising is needed for them.

They don't have an advertising budget, but I get what you mean. If you look at the 'Story Rich' tag on Steam, it's a dog's breakfast of results that even includes lots of titles with no story at all, with most of the Top Sellers being AAA cinematic titles with a story focus.

So, I believe that when most shoppers are following recommendations based on this tag, they are buying cinematic titles with lots of voiceovers and mostly animated cutscenes, including the two MMOs on this list. I believe that when developers of games like this (which do not have cinematic cutscenes and instead have Infinity Engine style text boxes), they think they're tapping into a goldmine of demand, but in fact they are just being confused by the demand for something else entirely. If you were doing a marketing breakdown of why games like Pillars 2 did not sell well, this kind of miscalculation helps to clarify things.

I'm sure that if you focus grouped 10 people who loved Red Dead Redemption 2 for its story aspects and put them in front of a text dialog game with non-animated voiceovers, you would get a unanimous negative response. It's trying to sell (bad interactive) novels to people who are shopping for (bad interactive) movies.

The story will be so good in BG as vegetables on fertilized land!

Steam tags were a mistake, just look at what Steam queue offers me to play based on the tags of the games I've played.

The term rpg has lost all meaning resulting in the proper rpg'ers getting mixed up with weebs and decliners. We're either going to have to go the way of the crusade and fight back for it, or the way of the Jesuit and separate off of them and do our own thing how we see proper. I don't want to see any real rpg fan get recommended another weeb jrpg ever again.
