Wow, that list has a VERY old name for me (Khold). I guess I'll re-introduce..

The post-sale speed has it hard for me to poke in here often but here's my profile if anyone recognizes me and has space on their friend list.

http://steamcommunity.com/id/Levyne/

So that this isn't just a beg-for-friends post..hope it works, if not PM me and I'll work it out

You can update your info for the list right here and I'll delete the old entry once I get back home!
 
MOBA's are to PC as Call of Duty type games are to consoles, they are cheap/easy to make, have millions of players and have a fairly effective monetization method, B-tier MOBA's are always going to be around because of those reasons.

I haven't seen a call of duty clone take off on consoles in, like, ever. The closes was Medal of Honor and those games are gone.

Just gave Urban Trial Freestyle a go and...it's not bad? It's obviously not as good as Trials, the bike handling doesn't feel as good, but the levels are pretty fun with tons of stuff going on constantly. I've played like 5 levels and I've already blown shit up, been chased by a giant boulder, had flaming barrels thrown at me and rammed cops.

CoD is cheap to make? I've seen all kinds of insults lobbed at that franchise but that one's new.

Claire now has a Steam Store page. Releasing in 4 days.

Should hit Early Access when it releases, have a release discount. A 2D survival-horror game I've played an hour of the alpha of, and thought it held a lot of promise over half a year ago.[/IMG]

Ah wonderful. I remember playing a bit of it some time ago and enjoying the tone and style they had with the characters. Thanks for the heads up.

I also see they added controller support, good for some of my friends who may have passed it by because of that.

that claire game looks like cool shit

sort of makes me wanna play lone survivor dc

i guess he means b-tier version of these games but those are never really successful.

i'm guessing making a zomba game isn't so expensive compared to an rpg or something but it's still probably a whole bunch of millions that crytek's putting down

I already received Bad Rats. :p

reminds me. what the significance of receiving a copy of Bad Rats is?

It's like a STI/STD, just something that isn't very good and gets spread around.

Unless it's won in a giveaway as a roulette (random chance of getting Bad Rats or a game you actually want), which means you then have to play it and try to beat it.

I have Bad Rats and I can't even remember why.

I'll bet the game has actually sold millions of copies from people giving it as a gag gift.

Call of Duty type games are cheap, not actually Call of Duty, I was referring to the B-tier games that copy the COD formula, I have no idea what COD's budget it is but I would think Activision would just gives them a blank check.
