Game News The Age of Decadence Released

[Cynicus]

Vault Dweller, is there a high res version of this pic that I could get my filthy mitts on? Would love to have it on my desktop.

 

[Jaesun]

Yeah, I would love that as a wallpaper as well.

 

[Obsequious Approbation]

Congratulations, ITS! Be Thursday in a few minutes here, and now I see all is well in the world again. Did my solemn duty and spread the word on the only other forum I frequent off and on; hopefully some of the declined ingrates will come seeking the light.

 

[Excidium II]

What a time to be alive. Shit's expensive though.

 

[mediocrepoet]

Nice! But I think I'll wait for the Enhanced Director's Cut Edition.

Should be around quickly... Q1, 2076.

 

[M0RBUS]

I can't believe it's here.
I'm gonna play this game so hard it's not even funny.

Speaking of hard, the combat is not necessarily difficult. All you have to do is know your strengths. The tutorial is ridiculously easy with some skillsets, and absolutely impossible with others. But 2 hours in, I'm loving the game, omfg.
Seriously, can't believe it's here.

 

[Jaesun]

Not sure if I want to do a talky or a fighting character. THE TYRANNY OF CHOICES.

 

[Cadmus]

I was kinda expecting the whole Internet to explode with buzz about the game and all I can hear is crickets :/

Not sure if I want to do a talky or a fighting character. THE TYRANNY OF CHOICES.

I've been planning to play the merchant since 2013 but I keep hearing so many good things about the combat. It seems a waste to not utilize all the cool weapons and armors... But also there's one game I trust to have a fully fleshed out non-combat path. What do? Captain William Shatner once asked this question: To kill or to not kill?

That is the question.

It's now 12th on the Steam. It looks Vault Dweller will get his 30 000 copies even after all his gloom and bad expectations

 

[VonVentrue]

What is this, some kind of family reunion? I don't recognise the Codex anymore. The Ancients logging in, omnipresent kissing, cuddling and canoodling.
It's... beautiful.

As for the commercial reception - AoD's climbing the charts, or so it would seem.

Spoiler

 

[Sensuki]

If it makes it onto the PC metacritic sidebar then it will probably make it.

 

[Alienman]

Congrats, will buy when I have money!

 

[Suicidal Meat Slapper]

I'm glad this day finally came. I finally have a valid reason to once more be glued to my computer for days on end and know that I won't be disappointed.

Spoiler

Now if only Cleve can hurry up and finish his shit

 

[Jigawatt]

Awesome! Bought this today, but won't be playing it until my exams finish end of next week. Going to be damn hard to resist though.

Congrats VD and team on finally getting some incline out into the world.

It's all The Codex alts buying them. All three of them.

 

[deuxhero]

Interesting to see the launch going so well (and not just on the Codex). Steam Spy documented pretty clearly in the past you only get one launch and most "full" releases after ea do little to boost a game's sales.

Wonder what's different here. The two year early access period? Changes to the steam storefront? Are people just that excited for a game like AoD?

Steamspy will need a week to get actual data.

I got the game during the Summer Sale and didn't really play it because the final release was soon. I'll give it another week now that there's a lot of people playing who will be finding bugs.

Now that the text is more or less final, does the team have any plans to get the game translated?

 

[Alienman]

Kazakhstan?

 

[Jaesun]

Kazakhstan?

 

[Crescent Hawk]

Congratulations guys.

They played Wasteland 2, Pillars and Divinity, and a memory of the alpha of AoD stirred deeply in their minds. Thats what probably happened.

Fuck I thought Underrail was coming out first. Lost that bet.

 

[Perkel]

Fuck yes and 1000 brofists to ITS team.
currently 3rd on gog right after TW3 and its expansion.
13th place on steam top selling chart

I told you VD. No one wants to play unfinished EA game and spoil their fun for full game.
I assume this will get something like 300-400k first year. with mln+ after 2-3 years

Vault Dweller don't fucking lower price you dickhead. RPGs and especially good fucking RPGs have holy shit long longs. If you will lower your price quickly it will only bite you in ass.

lol good goy.

 

[a cut of domestic sheep prime]

People (on steam especially) like to buy on sale. It's a good decision imho.

yeah it is great if you have platformer no one wants to play which will forgoten next month for all eternity.
If VD wants to make money he should keep price at 20$ for a long time and then lower it.

Point is that RPGs have super long legs compared to any other genre.

To make this point clearer. You can now walk in to empic store (biggest general goods retail chain in poland) in poland and buy Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 almost 20 years after release same with Fallout 1/2.

More money to VD = more incline.

 

[Saduj]

Congratulations to all at Iron Tower!

Now get back to work. We'll be expecting that colony ship game next Thursday......

 

[deuxhero]

Steamspy's "also owned" data

Spoiler

Past this it's largely titles that have been in a bundle, have been given away or are otherwise extremely common (Orange Box ect.) and would be true for most games or hits low enough similar percent isn't worth much. Bloodlines is, curiously, just ahead of Fallout 3 though.
