Nope, I haven't tried playing the one you can access from the menu. I see people in the OT being really pissed about it so I still haven't tried
I was already pissed right at the start, it feels jerky like I don't know what, and that was my most awaited thing about Korra game (><)
must be my luck
Someone should write an article titled 'Alienating the player, or the save system in The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.
Me-ow.

interesting how ridiculous most of the complaints are.
We played different games.

I dont agree to that at all. I mean he even admitted using a cheat...
Sorry but he also pointed out that the tension is what makes the game good, but then admits using a cheat to not encounter the alien in most situations.
I also dont get why he is comparing it to Last of Us or Red Dead Redemption.
I can totally see why people wouldnt like the game, but this article seems like the author tries to find "scientifical" reasons instead of just saying he didnt like such kind of games.
I somehow think he was expecting a Colonial Marines and got an Outlast.

Excellent news! Will have to try this out again today. Got to chapter 4 but kind of fell of it, really enjoyed what I played though. Even though I had to play through the first 2 chapters three times because of the save erase bug >.<
so the IndieRoyale Soapsuds bundle just ended and mystery game still not revealed.. they are not used to run multiple bundles, i think they forgot

He has incredibly pedantic complaints:
1) Complaining that he can't view certain objects in-depth in the first room where the player has control.
2) Small moments of gameplay/story segregation with regards to needed equipment. Might have been a fair complaint, but considering the fact that Amanda is an engineer and thus knows what's needed to open the door, and that information has to be communicated to the player in some fashion, that's a nitpick.
3) Admits that the game is too scary for him, so he uses cheats to trivialize the game, LOL.

Besides I dont get what he means by that:
Usually it takes a while to kill the androids by using the flamethrower.
I posted an update on the Night Dive/NOLF situation. Spoiler alert: it's not good.

his problem was the tension is ramped to 11 the entire game, which I completely disagree. It's a survival horror game where F2F encounters generally lead to death 95% of the time. Is there tension throughout the game? Yes. Are there different levels? Also Yes. The 'Alien-present' tension is a whole lot higher than the 'walking around the world' tension.
Seems like he's just bitching to bitch because everyone else loved the game.

Most of the stuff they've worked on is owned by Sony
Outland seems to be an exception since Ubisoft published and Housemarque apparently owns the IP but the rest of those great games they're known for? They're probably never leaving sony platforms. And I wouldn't be surprised if Alienation is owned by Sony, too.

This post has made me realise that trainers still exist. Good times. Also, a decent article. I really liked the game but I can understand why someone might find issues with the pacing. I haven't finished it but in the time I've played it's felt extremely deliberate in trying to ape the original Alien movie.

That's actually a good sign, because if someone (in this case WB) gives enough of a shit to spend money to defend this IP then that means they wish to do something with it eventually.
Maybe WB is going to buy the rights and give Monolith their chance to make NOLF3.
Yeah I'm aware of that. That said they are not owned by Sony or anything so they're free to work on whatever they want. Here's what they said when they announced Outland for Steam:
Coming back to PC is huge for Housemarque. As our first release, Outland doesnt support mods, but its performance will let us test the waters of a community that is really open to user generated content and crowdsourcing. As a company, we feel that our style of creating games stems from the mod-scene and now making a leap back to PC feels a bit like returning home.
I just hope something comes out of this.
I'd rather have an article about save system taking away any choice from player: when to save and why or get screwed by autosave if something goes wrong with it, of many things that can go wrong. I'm so not fond of that system and any amount of excuses can't make me see otherwise.

Pretty sure that was the point, or at least one of the main points. Between the design, the

I know this, hence why I loved the game. I think it's a game that captures it's source material better than any other game I have played. It's incredible.

Wait, what. Outland is released on PC? What the fuck?

It'd be nice if indie devs would use literally anyone other than Sony as a publisher.
*Put popcorn away*
I'm on my phone but my Steam Profile is on my GAF Profile. I'm sure you can find Dunder on my friends list.
That's terrible news.
These big publishers are so frustrating. If they succeed in blocking The use of the IP, then they will just sit on the game indefinitely.
There is the possibility that this was Night Dive's plan all along.
Yeah, I don't see WB making an effort to buy or "lease" the games from Fox. At the moment I'm inclined to think this is more a "Because we can!" thing.

Usually, last-minute extensions are frowned upon by the courts. It always looks like the claimant is not prepared and is just stalling for time while they figure out what to do.
Given what you said, I'm reasonably sure that Night Dive has a good case to prove grounds that WB's objection is frivolous, considering they didn't bother to do anything until the eleventh hour.
Here's hoping!
What if Sony was the only hope they had to make those games? Like Bayonetta 2 was for Nintendo and Bloodborne is for Sony.
I have speed runners and i play it from time to time
not very good at it

Forgot its out today.
I want to get it. But don't want to rush through it in a weekend.

Thanks for the game!
Also that Bayonetta hype. Game looks interesting the more I see in my Twitter feed but I really don't need the game now... so much Steam backlog, MH4G... nah. Later.

Yeees managed to get the last SE.
It's ugly (thanks USK and PEGI) but it's what's on the inside that counts ❤
Depends on if you own a WiiU.
If you don't, it's just a pretty knick knack that will sit on your shelf forever.

So... apparently changing your steam installation drive counts as logging in from a new computer.
Volvo, your incompetence will never cease to amaze me.

No One Lives Forever, outdated copyright laws on the other hand....
I look at a game like CounterSpy, which is on PS3, PS4, Vita, iOS, and Android, two platforms that I own, and just wish I could play it on my PC but don't see it ever happening because of Sony.

He's selling in the B/S/T again?
So now we're villifying Sony for publishing indies?

That's the version that has two seperate DVD(Or does the WiiU use blu-ray? I forget) cases right? One for Bayo 1 and one for bayo 2?Yeees managed to get the last SE.

Just in case I'm missing your joke because I don't see anything close to that happening.
I'm lamenting that Sony ignores the PC.

It does. It has two separate cases too, which I was pleasantly surprised with. Also, the Wii U uses a proprietary format for their discs.
