Was Project Phoenix a scam?

I always keep forgetting about Project Phoenix did that just blow up?


Ah.

No it's not a scam, but the game was backed Sept 2013 and had a projected release of Mar 2015. I new it was unreasonable back then and knew it would take a little longer.

But if you see where they are at with the project it literally looks like they've spent only 2 months of development time on it. It is fucking bad.
 
Was Project Phoenix a scam?
Not a scam, the problems though included it being originally planned for eight platforms, not receiving enough pledge funds in the first place and having everyone working on it a part-timer.

the guy in charge was making recent updates on the game's engine though, but it already passed its mid-2015 release

I feel like dogshit

XCom 2 delayed to February

Deadly Premonition for $1

While Ubi has sales as often as any other publisher, it is rather bad at discounting its relatively unpopular back catalogue titles. General sale discounts of 40-50% are the best you can hope for when it comes to items like the R6 Vegas games.

Maybe it'll come back around when Siege goes on sale and they bring back those Tom Clancy catalogue-wide sales that seem to have disappeared.

listen to the mad man
Maybe this alleviate the pain of Disgaea 5 not coming to STEAM...
probably not

I'd expect it to come to Steam eventually. Most publishers dipping their toes into Steam have done older games first and then newer games (see: Neptunia). I'd expect the same thing of NIS whenever they get on board.

Maybe very eventually-- NIS seems pretty comfortable releasing only on Playstation-- but at least, with their games being so technically similar, when or if they do there'll be no reason not to just release their entire catalogue.

Didn't we fail the NIS test when none of us bought Cladun x2. Might help if NIS give it a discount, oh I don't know, once a year at least. Though I do recall one of their branches saying something about looking at PC a while back.

I wish their test had been a game that actually looks good.

:3

I need a very short game(s) to play tomorrow/the next day (er, sub 7 hours?) before mgs5

Help guys

Maybe Civilization V? Just play a few turns of it.

Telltale probably got the show runners' notes on making episodes it seemed, because all of them have forgotten that ASOIAF is so much more than shocking moments. Now both the show and game are just killing people off for the lulz.

I think Season 3 of Game of Thrones peaked for me with surprise shockers that weren't outright kill someone off. The end of episode 3 coming right out of nowhere producing a massive 'what the fuck!?' moment for example. But Telltale's whole shtick had been give you a choice of who you're going to kill off, who does the deed or in a roundabout way gets chopped next episode so I'm not surprised to be honest.

The game gets pretty tiresome after a while, so much grim and no real reward. I imagine the final episode will end with
Ramsey Bolton
killing ever single character in an orgy of blood and then turning to the camera and saying "Ha ha, you played this all the way through." It's verging on death porn at this point.

Tales is infinitely better.
 
it's not just you, I complained about it several days ago, so disappointed with that game as I was almost 100% sure I'll like it, I don't

I had the same feeling too, especially when the speed ramps up. Some people have mentioned it might be because of the grid-based design. Whatever the issue is, it definitely makes it less fun.

Thanks for your replies, I thought I was going crazy. The slowest speed is also waaay too slow.

The game embraced show season 5's direction, maximum shock value is top priority.

Oh I agree, even as a huge fan of the world, I find the story boring at times.

Any idea if the Nvidia vouchers people are selling come with the bonus stuff?

According to Peeler on the Steam forums for TPP, the Nvidia vouchers will include everything except Ground Zeroes.

RobertPeelerKJP [developer] Aug 4 @ 1:57pm
You receive everything that comes with TPP
http://www.konami.jp/mgs5/tpp/en/products/index.php5

[METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN]
includes [METAL GEAR ONLINE] *
[Special Contents for [METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN] ]
Emblem "VENOM SNAKE"
MOTHER BASE STAFF **
Collector’s Video ***

But you don't get a copy of Ground Zeroes.

I'd love it if you imported your save from GZ that you extracted everyone, including all the guards, that come The Phantom Pain your reward is just a plaque on Mother Based saying 'Thank you for playing Ground Zeroes. Through your dedication and effort you saved all these guys. They're all dead now' that you see once and then is replaced by an animu poster.

He has to be right about something I guess but he's made a pig's ear of quite a lot of what he's said so far.

Well, there are 3 APPIDs/DEPOTIDs listed for the SUBID the Nvidia vouchers have.

287700 - The game itself
287701
287702

So it looks likely at the very least. I'd wager one is the video, the other is the actual DLC.

As I posted the day in which TPP preorder went up on Steam, all rewards except GZ are included in Nvidia codes AND every retailers selling the game. Konami site stated this clearly.
Collector's video, Mother Base 3 DLC etc. are NOT pre-order boni, they will be available later too if you don't purchase the game on D1.
