This game is amazing and refreshing. Sleeper cult gem GOTY if you don't have ADHD and low IQ (so will filter 99% of this board)it is NOT a soulslike
>I'm going to make a thread about a game that will filter 99% of potential viewers of said thread
but rollslop is ADHDslop because it's fast paced rhythmslop
no thanks, i heard there are like 5 enemy varieties in total
Silksong is the definite buy for this week and i'm torn between this one and Cronos.HiU is more up-my-alley + i really liked the demo, plus i'm very selective about anything survival horror but if Cronos is the game that Callisto Protocol should've been, then that might take priority. i need more Dead Space type shit in my life.
>>719679417I was watching the trailer and it looks super bland in design and art directionMaybe the gameplay is better? idk but the overall appeal looks super unimaginative and lame, specially the enemies that are either humanoid cumshots or distorted colorful clouds
>>719679962>super bland in design and art direction
>>719679417it needs quest markersthere's nothing fun about exploring a swamp. lets hope mods will fix it
>>719680927yeah im not feeling it, even with those concept art images, the appearance is still rather bland, maybe because we have been bombarded with those kind of aesthetics in many other games lately, that it doesnt feel relevant anymore, but more like a copy of a copy of a copy
>>719679417>it is NOT a soulslikeit might have been fun to play if it were
i have rollslop parryslop soulslikeslop fatigue
>>719679417>go to the north of here for this quest>go to the west of here for this one>theyre all just fetch quests in the endFaggots will act like traversing without a map is revolutionary gameplay

I'm glad this game is filtering brainlets and/or zoomers with AAA brainrot.
>>719679417What would you say the minimum IQ threshold is for this game, OP? 116 IQ borderline-midwit here. This is a serious question. There are numerous games and even entire genres I'm simply too stupid to play.
It's alright. I'm about 7 hours in and just beat Act 1. Combat is a complete joke and feels like they just added it in so the game wouldn't just be exploring to find stuff and puzzle solving. It was kind of funny since I got to an area that was perfect for a boss fight and all it had was a slightly stronger generic foe. You also cannot completely clear areas when you first get to them and solutions for certain things may be tied to completely different areas.I'm enjoying it even if it feels like some times I'm just stumbling around to track down side objective stuff.
>>719679756You should not purchase any of them until at least one week passes.By then it should be slightly more evident which games are worth your time.Let the excitement wear off a little, it fogs your ability to make objective judgements.

I legit have no idea if these Hell Is Us threads are;a) Corpo-shills using some super advanced meme-irony marketing.b) People actually excited for the game.c) Total schizos just looking for a troll.Either way, my 2cents is that it just doesn't have a great aesthetic. Starting with the name, it just doesn't hold my imagination. "Hell Is Us"? It's like a 12 year olds first attempt at a metal concept album. The enemies don't look cool, or threatening, or really like anything but Plasticine mannequins someone partially melted and stretched. The glowy force weapons look silly and out of place, like something from a much more scifi game than this.
>>719684621>gkikeshills shilling another boring tryhard fps
>>719685518The answer is A and a little bit of C, but mostly A. I wouldn't let OP or the posts sucking off the game fool you into thinking it's "filtering" anyone because that's the entire gimmick behind this game's marketing of it not having quest markers n' such. The majority of /v/ doesn't know or care about this game and every thread dies at < 100 posts.
>spent 6 hours running around fighting only basic enemies>get to the flower field and its dungeon>clear it and reach the game's first actual "boss">mfw it's just another basic enemy but with more of the flying addsLost all interest then.It's a shame because the game looks nice and has some interesting mechanics, but there's no way I'm putting myself through the slog of such terribly designed combat options.
combat is bad to serviceable and the shitty dark souls fall-to-platform sections are awful but otherwise i've liked it so far
>random lady saves your life>gets killed>immediately take her clothes, weapon and pet droneuhh based
>>719679756>CronosWait that's coming out this month?
>>719687935The protagonist is quite literally referred to as a high functioning psychopath. It was a practical choice because her weapons worked on the monsters.
>>719679417>bro what if we put stalker and rollslop togetherYuck
>>719688071the clothes also worked on the monsters?
>>719685518its obviously shills, the way they type is too obvious, also, for all the unimaginative things they put on this game, they sure must have spent a penny on getting those graphics either way, so they are obviously trying to shill it hard here
everyone complains about the rollslop soulslop combat mechanics, but what else can be done to make fighting in these games interesting? genuinely asking
>>719688625I personally liked the combat in Ryse: son of Rome (even if it got a bit repetitive after a while, I guess it needed more combos and special moves)Hell, even the combat of Arkham games that gets memed to death about being "press one button to win" is still more interesting than the rollslop soulslike games spammed
>>719688625Good question. I think fundamentally the RollSouls combat is interesting/fun, but I think they've taken a miss-step in their later games. They're leaning more towards Character Action (DMC, Ninja Gaiden) than their slower and more methodical roots. But with some small changes I think they could bring back what people enjoyed about Dark Souls. And there's no reason they can't go on to make something faster like Devil May Cry, just don't call it DarkEldenBloodSouls.>Remove flashy weapon arts. Keep the more practical ones (things like Upward Cut, or Giant's Hunt for example can stay).>Make Rolling cost more Stamina, with a penalty for repeated rolls (+15-30% cost per roll after the first), and put it on a double button press. Pressing Dodge once is a quickstep based on direction of joystick, costs less stamina, but you get no i-frames.>Bring back Adaptability so Dodging is something you need to improve with investment.These changes would encourage positioning and planning over spamming and rolling, and I feel would add more depth to the combat over all.
>>719682771>I'm about 7 hours in and just beat Act 1what the fuck are you literally sprinting through everything? God damn slow down for a minute
>>719688625they should obviously make combat like in fighting games, where every hit you can make is a different key
when they inevitably patch in the ability to fast travel between save points i think this is a pretty solid 8/10. wouldn't recommend it until then though. just awful trying to test out puzzle solutions or see if certain characters care about certain things when it means having to just hold W for ~3 minutes
>>719688625I legit find combat in this game interesting BECAUSE it's not rollslop. The game rhythm feels completely different.Yes it suffers from enemy variety but the combat design itself is a fairly unique take on formula.It's WAY MORE focused on crowd control. Because it loves to spam those white walkers AND the linked enemies are inherently about controlling two (or more) different entities. And unlike souls, you also don't have free ranged attacks and easy ways to aggro separate and funnel enemies one by one because they keep clustering together. You get one drone distraction so you have to choose and prioritize which enemy to distract first, but even that tool is only a minor help when you start facing groups where one shape is linked to multiple whites and some of them throw projectiles at you. THOSE FUCKING SHAPES feel way more chaotic than usual humanoids and are a pain in the ass to read. Which is GOOD. At least I feel like I have to learn and adapt.Stamina management is also WAY MORE conscious and potentially challenging because it's tied to HP. And there is a punishing exhaustion penalty if you drain it.And what ties it all together is the healing pulse obviously. Which is a cool gameplay mechanic based on timing, but unlike parrying it's active. Also comes with its own risk-reward trade-offs. Because the longer you keep hitting, the more hp it gains back but that increases danger. You also don't have estus refill to rely on, meaning the only reliable way to heal is not to back off and skip an attack opportunity turn, but to be aggressive. It's an aggression incentive. And obviously, being required to be aggressive when you are low hp and therefore low stamina, is tricky in itself. Those moments of TENSION being low hp are something I really appreciate here, it's different from souls formula and it makes the game more horror-flavored.Not perfect but what a cool game, fun, thoughtful, trying different things. I don't get that mindless backlash.
>>719690047new ip scares the tard
How's the PC optimization.
I torrented it cause unsure plus silksong soon, it's pretty neat: like ww2 war theme + supernatural stuff from control + puzzles + investigating stuff, combat is pretty smooth for a soulslikebut i'd say it's only "soulslike" in terms of combat, the rest is very much exploring like an RE game or whatever.
>>719685518I downloaded it off 1337x. The ww2 + paranormal aesthetic is pretty neat. also I like how there is puzzle solving that isnt retarded and requires you to use your brain a bit. it's kinda like control but outdoors + war between various factions (so far, i'm only in the first map or two).
>>719688275it isn't even rollslop, you can block and hit stuff and regen off hits, then there are diff abilities for you + the drone. for "soulslike" combat it's pretty smooth, better than most wannabe souls games
>>719679417Which weapon should I use sword, axe, halberd or greatsword?
>some mediocre, generic piece of shit drops>random fags on /v/ start sucking it off as their "GOTY"Meh.>>719683248Wow, they're not paying you much at all, huh?
>>719693545I like the axespolearm seem as goodsword is boringgreatsword is strong but slow
>>719693590this, i cant believe a gacha or eceleb thread died for this
>>719693613Then I'll go poleward then since I'm not an axe guy.
it's pretty neat, you got trenches and tanks and alien stuff moving around for some reason that has yet to be explained.
like 2-3 zones in and idk what the ghost guys are yet, I guess thats a major plot point later.environments are cool, warzones to scenic stuff
i'm tired of soulslop
Lmao the shills are so low energySays a lot.Now post the main character's zoomer haircut.
>>719693992it isnt a souls game, only the combat has some similarities, you have a dodge, melee, but you also have abilities and a parry.
>>719679417Is it interesting?
>>719694071theres a conflict going on with some factions and also alien things, and there are a lot of documents you can collect like in control, and you can ask diff npcs stuff to progress various questsI like it, control + RE type of game with some souls-like combat mechanics
>>719694071Yes, I like the strange and mysterious atmosphere
you know what's funny, it's like death stranding but if it was actually an interesting or good game, and not just delivering pizzas over hills.
>>719694057well i'm watching a streamer play and the protagonist is talking to.... his mom.... woah10 minutes and no combat yet for me to judge
>>719694318the game starts with you in some facility being interrogated but we dont know when/where. presumably after the plot, but who knows.you talk to lots of diff people, and there are a bunch of optional sidequests/npcs to talk to. combat is pretty smooth, instead of rolling for everything you can block or parry, and there is also an ability to regen health but only after getting some hits in.
>heh our game doesnt have a map CHUDS>oh but it does have combat sliders so you can make the enemies do no damagewaow...
>>719693970what do you call this phenomenon
>it's not a soulslike because you parry instead of rolling hyuck hyuck hyuckLow effort shilling.
>>719694513"chuds" are the greasy gamer type aka normal men that females are attracted to. the word you're looking for as a gotcha is "trannies" because their brain is so fried that they couldn't game for shit so they chopped off their willy for no goddamn reason.also the game is too easy even with max modifiers, so it's not really a chudcore game.
>>719694516a cliff far away in fog/mist? idk
>>719679417It just doesn't seem all that intresting desu. I might get Silksong though.
>>719689510we are real gamers here
>>719680927eh
>>719693590>any form of positivity is a shillI wish you faggots would go back to reddiit, you're trying too hard.
>>719694071Not particularly. The main character being preset and sucking while at it doesn't help.
ENOUGH WITH THE ROLLSLOP ALREADY!
>>719694724I've been on this board for years. I am able to recognize generic shilling instantly. Please put more effort into fitting in.
>>719694813I have barely rolled at all. the guard is good, and parries give big openings. also, you can do the heal pulse move while guarding.
>>719694837if you feel the need to declare that then you haven't been here long at all
everyone asking for a minimap, quest log, or markers should die
>>719694872Long enough to know when the "positivity" is just paid shilling.

>>719679417But silksong is coming out in 2 days. Why should I play your game? What makes it unique to make me play it over over her game?
>>719679558Dark Project has like 4 and it's still the best game ever made.
>>719695248do it for him
>>719679417>>719695248The battle of the shills.
>>719695271dark project is not a combat game kind of a shit comparison
>>719695248Silkong, you talk about that 2d game that can be released on ps2? Lol
I can't play a game with an ugly protagonist
>>719680927you´re just proving the people right, saying it looks bland, by posting this mock up.
>>719680927>everyone saying this is bland/generic yet can't post examples of lookalikes

>>719680927I can unironically click on Art Station and bring up +200 asians and slavs making concept art indistinguishable from this with a vague search on the subject.Hell, this is a random picture from wherever on Pinterest I have laying around. Same shit.
>go to Tower at beginning of the game>manage to beat the two enemies>find the loot under the stairs>can't go in
>>719695946>you HAVE to like my shit game, it's not like the rest except in every way!
shit it feels like a soulslike to me , even if it's soulslite. Same feeling combat, same piecing together of npc quests . The healing pulse thing was annoying to get into , now i just look at the health bar which seems way easier.
its interesting cause it isnt clear why these people are at war or why there are alien creatures roaming around, it's not generic souls + anor londo clone game #2138283.
>soulslop>refreshing
>>719696380AKA play +20 hours to roll a dice on whether this was all absolutely retarded or actually interesting in the end
>>719695248>What makes it unique to make me play it over over (a sequel)>unique>fomo faggot favoring a sequel>to an overhyped game>in an overcrowded genre>but claims he wants "unique"you are a bot, unironic brainrotalso im now convinced 80% of the retards fomoing into silksong havent even played hollow knight, they just see new shiny fomo object and hop on the wagonpeople here claim to hate reddit but you're same circlejerking consensusbrained algo chasing bot retards, kys
>>719696427it's interesting so far, and there are more puzzles and exploring than anything so far, all the stuff you collect is like the articles you find in control, something is going on but it isn't 100% clear, yet.it's interesting enough to torrent and play before silksong, that much I know.
>>719696437You are right, but this game is also garbage so... eh.
>>719696502also, the game not having a retard GO HERE marker is a nice change of pace compared to other games. you have to figure stuff out yourself.
you can't discuss anything on nu-/v/
>>719688625People like you are the reason we can't have nice things anymore. I can't blame it on your age ether. I know personally a guy who old enough and he played other games before dark souls came out, but it just like he memoryholes it. New armored core copies soulslop? What else could they do? New Silent Hill does it? How could they make a combat any other way? Onimusha too? Those faggots genuinely forget other games existence and act like copying dark souls is the only way to make a game.
This dogshit game has like 3 enemy types, not even textured and no bosses. This thread is nothing but bait.
>>719679417>50 bucks>20 hours of game.Shant.

>>719697218im not a shill. I wanted to pass the time till silksong release so I checked 1337x for new torrents, the game seems interesting, so I tried it.
>>719685518I did a weird thing and ''pre ordered'' the game because I played the demo and it ticked some boxes that I liked like the character design and the EE-centric environments, specifically mixing modern timeline with historic backgrounds. But now that I play it, I don't like a bunch of stuff. >Not being able to jump over tiny fences is retarded>Not a fan of the ''linked enemies'' specifically how the Haze ones look like and act in combat. They're visually annoying>Having to manually press the X button while engaged in conversation is FUCKING ANNOYING. Just spit it out and don't make me work for basic shitI'll keep on thrudging through but I won't recommend it to others
always with the dog .gifs
Why do retards keep pretending this doesn't play like a AA easy soulslike?
>>719684621this game looks good but holy fuck what are those sound effects... Did they forgot to remove placeholders or what?
>>719679417Damn unc is bussin fr
>>719679417Combat and enemy design are both shit
>>719697789did you play the game or just regurgitating from youtube daddy
>>719697280>Not being able to jump over tiny fences is retardedI'm about 5 hours in, and really enjoying it so far, but stuff like this in games annoys me. This game not having a jump really sucks.

how many times are you fucking parrots going to go on about the enemy variety and spouting "bland"
BUYANADshillLITERALLY NOBODY cares about this game, nor on Steam., no reddit, nor twatch and yet you are here, making threads every day GEEZ I WONDER WHY
>>719697817I dont watch ecelebs I just pirated it
Is there a trick to consistently hitting the healing pulse? It seems like the timing is different for every swing of your combo and like you need to do it at the start of an attack, so in order to get the healing from 3 hits you need to start a 4th attack
What's with the giant goofy anime swords in a grounded western setting?
You can tell what posts are shill/botted just by the way they type them out. Way too generic and trying way too hard to push how much the game requires you to 'think'
It's a 7 for me so far but I hate how stamina is tied to health. That's just shit design.
>>719697942It's a weird mishmash of artstyles. Weird aliens, military drones etc.

creepy
>>719679417It's actually kinda shith8t4n
>>719699229This game easily could've had an FPV function to go look at things. Instead it makes you do dumb shit with the Photo Mode if you want to zoom in on something, like I had the urge to after the first cutscene encounter with a Haze enemy - where some chick saves the main character and then she dies in the process. I guess it's fine that it offers that mode as an option, but it's the small things that matter in the overal product and it falls short of more than a handful.

the game is death stranding except not incredibly shit or with d-list actors forced into it.

The combat is a slog. Same handful of enemies makes every encounter the same. It's reminding me of South of Midnight. Had the same problems. Honestly wish it wasn't an action game.
>>719701123>>719701142Oh it was just very similar >>719622604 >>719700562As is this. >>719613624 >>719700161And this >>719621664

I'm using compass like a big boy instead of following quest marker, I can feel my IQ increasing
>>719698650That's a thing? I'm making this game piss easy then, not a chance I'm spending so much time on such a shitty combat
>>719701794someone needs to import dragons dogma 2 monsters and the combat into this game and it will be good. a simple job.
>>719701914>compass requires a button hold so it doesnt clutter the screen 24/7now thats based. if any devs are here good fucking job on doing it that way
>>719701794Damn, that ball makes me think I'll get filtered.
>>719701997seems like you could just play dragons dogma 2 at that point
>>719702079It's a toggle and it keeps it on screen for too short amount of time. Another thing I would like to slap the developer for
>>719701462here i filled em for ya
>>719702206good job for figuring that one out, it's obvious but I wonder how many will fail anyway
Wew there a lot of shillbots in this thread
>>719702257nta but I remember a cow at the start of the game. If that's not the solution, or a cow at some other place, then the game can go fuck itself

is this a 4chan reference
>>719703132yes everything is shit we get ityou're very cool and contrarian
>>719703175for my view to be contrarian there would have to be consensus that the game is worthwhile to begin with, sadly for your paycheck this week there is not
>>719703208go do something productive instead of seething over a game you haven't played

>>719703359If he dies, the game literally flashbangs you with a screamer of a fat dude stating "nah you didn't die there" and it's cool

>>719704560https://youtu.be/wOM1uOfegn4?t=707Here's a fragment here, but the first time you die it's longer, and he states that you didn't die.
>guy needs pills>find pills>give him pills>they're wrong pillsI love the game trolls you for not paying attention to details
>>719704702The first pills you find are for the woman in the refugee camp from what i remember. Wonder what happens if you don't give it to her.
>>719702904On max sliders the game can be pretty brutal when there's a giant katamari of enemies attacking you. But the game also gives absolutely ridiculous tools to you. The quickstep drone module allows you to safely disengage no matter what, i combo it with rage ability to pull enemies to separate them safely.
>>719704687Now I'm interested in who he is.
>>719704839I'm about 10 hours in and seems like he's from a literal SEELE
>>719679417looks boring + minimalist ui + too dark + low enemy variety + no bossesHell is refunded
>>719679417When you go to ministry of cultural primacy in Lethe, DO NOT leave until you give the ON lady the jacket you find behind the locked door.

when is the industry going to realize, you can do grassroots shill campaigns but the game has to be good new unique and challenging first. it cant just be another ue5 slopper. sorry guys. better luck next time
>le shillsShilling for who? This shit is from the devs who made the mid Mordheim and Necromunda games nearly a decade ago. Does every random AA or indie game get their own internet shill team now?
>>719708802>Does every random AA or indie game get their own internet shill team now?yes fucking retard

>>719679417Cool, maybe I'll play it next year.
>>719679417I hate this game because my favourite streamer is doing a week-long subathon and only playing this game. It sucks to watch and the brightness is too fucking low.

Looks like a Remedy made soulslike
>>719712917If it doesn't run at 10 fps without upscaling then it's not modern remedy
>>719709783These people look like they belong in a sonic game
>doted U shapeddoes it mean I only have to activate only one of these thing or am I completely wrong?
>>719712917It's not gay enough to be a modern remedy game.
>>719706102Prey would have been a lot better if it had more than 6 enemy types.
>>719715090It's also still good, just like this game.
I unironically love this game. Call me a shill fine but the little hand holding and the world is great. And the items having hand drawn art for each is peak 90s RE/silent hill sovl.
What emotion powers do you like the most thus far?
>>719679417Its a mid 20 hours soulslike, calm your tits
>>719715090/v/ fucking loved Prey despite it having little enemy variety so I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Played it for a few hours, unlocked the blacksmith but I think I'm probably over the game, seeing as how I've killed everything in the swamp and all that probably awaits me is walking back and forth through an empty map as I match symbols in the right order for the countless symbol safe combination puzzles. It is nice to have puzzles that don't completely treat you like a toddler, but it's still pretty rudimentary as far as I can tell.
>>719717170It was soon after that part when you figure out the blacksmith basement puzzle that it all clicked for me
hell is sus fr fr no capwhat were they thinking with that hair?
This thread doesn't seem very organic
>>719717709What clicked, the redundant gameplay loop ?
About to enter the fourth region. It's gonna be much longer than 20 hours for me.
>>719698650>difficulty slidersIf the devs have no confidence in their own game design then I have no reason to play it.
>>719679417you faga have been shilling this game daily since the first demo came outit sucked back then and it sucks now.
>>719719096then don'tfuck off
>>719715601also kinda feels like stalker
>>719717765>another dei female protagonist slop
>>719717709Maybe I'll come back to it at some point, but it sure felt like the game shot itself in the foot going for that open swamp, the way the game is set up it feels like it lends itself better to somewhat more condensed level design.
>>719720486
>>719720738>it lends itself better to somewhat more condensed level design.you're in luck then. Swamp is biggest by far area. The next several areas are RE/silent hill towns
>>719721063good to know
>"story" involves two opposing factions with a generational hatred of one another due to religious differences>twist of the game revealed to be that the creatures manifested due to this hatred, referencing the titleshocking, absolutely shocking, I have NEVER imagined a story like that, holy shit. two warring religious factions that look identical to an outsider? overall message being "cyclic hatred is bad, mmkay"? utter fucking kino. somebody call up druckmann and let him know what a revolutionary storyteller he is for having inspired such BRAVE and POWERFUL stories.

>just got to the vigil base>dozens of shields and flower slotsI don't even want to attempt to decipher whatever retardation this puzzle is. It's not that it's hard, it's that it looks incredibly tedious and not fun to solve.
>>719721261okay, schizo.
>>719721339translation: it's hard but i'm pretending it's not
>>719714532you find a paper later that outright tells you which ones to activate. There are 5 pairs of these levers hidden throughout the swamp. You need to go around and activate the correct ones to open a door. Fairly certain you can't access all of the levers until later, I was only able to find 3 so far, and there are areas I've come across that I can't access yet, so don't go crazy over it for now.

>>719722138yesmy point is still right and you are still a faggot
>>719722284post hand and I'll post negative criticism
threadly reminder this game's story is just a ripoff on druckmann's last of us 2 overall message, endless cycle of religious-based violence. There are also only 5 kinds of enemies, some of them have a colorful ball companion, but they are still the same enemy.
>>719684621>budget Doom 2016 No thanks
>>719722371
>>719722284It might be hard to comprehend when you're from a part of the world where the average IQ is likely to be closer to 80 give or take, but when actual people talk about a game they don't absolutely need to split their conversations up in lists of pros and cons.

>>71968310499.9% of gamers wouldn't know and even less give a shit.
This game is like CDDA and Zomboid if they were good
>>719723059didn't say it wasn't true, said it was formulaic and expected. why bother playing through the game to experience the story when you already know how the story plays out. the combat sucks, the exploration is tedious and the puzzles are also tedious, designed to just waste your time.>find secret door in one map>key is hidden in corner of another map with nothing else nearby that would lead you to organically finding itoh boy, what a fun time it is to comb the ground looking for arbitrary mcguffins

reply, shill-kun
>theres actually rape in the gamewoah wasnt expecting that
>>719721680it's fascinating that this is bringing out this many honestly, it's a fairly inoffensive, mediocre game that as far as I know doesn't have any tranny devs making retarded public statements.
>>719724282Yeah, it's somewhat daring. Hell they don't even portray the soldiers' cumbucket as an innocent victim either. Since she fesses up to getting whipped up in the lynching of that family as well and is getting raped in revenge.
the shilling is WAY too obvious bud. you attack literally EVERY SINGLE criticism as if the game is utter perfection. it's a mediore game made by a bunch of frogs on a shoestring budget. you can count the amount of enemies on one hand, literally. the combat is a complete joke. the MC has a hilarious broccoli cut. the movement and animations are straight out of UE default settings. the story is boring and done to death. you can refute any of this to your heart's content but it's plain as day that this game isn't devoid of flaws, budget limitations and poor design. complete non-admission of any flaws easily outs you as a shill. also advise not using the key art as the OP, it's also extremely obvious. Use an original screenshot or webm at the very least.
>>719718250Computers are inorganic

OK NIGGERS I NEED SOMEONE TO ANSWER TWO THINGS FROM ANYONE WHO PIRATED THE GAME EARLY:DO SAVES CARRY TO STEAM VERSION?DO YOU GET ACHIEVEMENTS AFTER DOING SO?
>>719725849yes to both and steam will ban your account if you have all your achievements unlocked at the same time
>>719679417whats the game about?
