It seems like a game can breathe and get overwhelmingly positive. Why is Mina so low?
BLM
>>739824162Uncslop sucks. The age of low quality GBA trash clones is over.
Bad gameplay. Soulslike combat doesn't work in a 2D environment.
Lots of Turkish on this board today
>>739824231AHHHHH
>>739824162>more difficulty slop with a million items and a ton of linear stat upgradesI'm fucking tired boss. And they all implement it way worse than any Souls game
Question.The fuck are you even supposed to do in this videogame?
>>739824162Idk but every time this seems to happen it always turns out to be some random third-world drama shit like "players in China are unhappy over X feature".Like how Silksong got reviewbombed purely because the Chinese translation was allegedly bad.
>>739824231I'd love to had been a fly in the board room meeting when they made this decision
>>73982423120k is not much for a company, but still...some of that money went straight to buying a mansion for a sheboon in one of those scam organization.
>>739824162If you check the reviews, it's people complaining about the difficulty, so git gud
>>739824162>need 200K sales to save the studio>all time peak on Steam is 8K playersGood riddance, nigger lovers.
>>739824162redditera just can't catch a break, eh?
>>739827879Is this 20k for all of them combined or 20k for each?
>>739828043the remaining 192k bought it on Switch surely
>>739828383yeah, I'm sure they did
>check negative reviews>nearly every single one is "What the FUCK, game is TOO HARD and ANNOYING because of [thing you can change in the options menu]."Guess difficulty based "accessibility settings" don't count unless they're forced on the player.
>>739824162Confirmed to be shit
>>739829507They don’t you lazy dev. Make an easy normal and hard mode instead of 50 billion toggles.
Why are people creaming their pants over this basic shit?
>>739829783Shills, culture warriors, and boomers who played shovel knight
>>739829663What you really mean is present the player with normal mode (neutered braindead game) and then hide the actual game deep in the options menu.
>>739829814>everyone who doesn't blindly hate games is a shill/vee/ moment
It's alright. The critical reviews HAVE to be paid off though. This game is getting Hollow Knight scores, and it's no Hollow Knight.
>>739829663Isn't it lazier to present fewer options?
>>739824162I give it a week before it's completely forgotten.
>>739828006It's not the kind of difficult that is worth getting good for. It's uninteresting frustration for the sake of frustration.
>>739829860There were 3 options there.
>>739829860>immediately jumps on the defensiveshill spotted
>>739824162Donated to nlm, shant be buying
>>739829961Which part is frustrating just to be frustrating?
The real reason is retards not reading the manual and getting filtered by the first boss
>>739830132Reading is STOOPIT, I should win everything first try without paying attention
>>739828268Who the fuck cares, just skip it, pirate ar best.
>>739824162It's unironically too graphically unimpressive. What were they thinking making a 240p game in 26 years after year 2000?
>>739826554Nine Sols was reviewbombed by virtue alone of being a taiwanese game, when it first came out it was just "positive">>739828006>complaining about difficulty>in a game with modifiers
>>739830127basic traversal. There's no reason why every enemy on every screen should be such a hit sponge while you also have to leap over pits while also getting shot at by fireballs from indestructible enemies.
Making the combat such liquid ass sure was an interesting design choice.
They went way too far with these crunchy ass graphics. Gameboy games were way more readable than this shit. What the fuck were they thinking?
>>739830338You can change enemy health, Mina's damage taken, and how demanding the platforming is in the settings. There's even multiple ways you can address these things if you don't like the default.
>>739826554Silksong is pure artificial difficulty. ">Make everything hit twice as hard as Hollow Knight
>>739826554>Translation is unreadable shit>It-it's review bombing Go fuck yourself localization bootlicker
>>739830103So you’ve surely boycotted every other company that makes luxury goods you enjoy, correct?
>>739830491>Dumbasses are still shitting up Silksong discussion like this
>>739830686Nope just them
>>739831089Then you’re more of a slacktivist than trannies screaming about Harry Potter.
>>739830708>No argument since the release of sliksong till now
>>739828043Concurrent players isn't total sales dumbass. People don't all buy the game and play it at the exact same time.I released a dumb little self made indie game on steam not too long ago that hit 200 concurrent players, it's currently sitting at 6500 sales. That's 32.5 sales per top concurrent players. With a top concurrent player count of 8000, it's very likely they're going to hit 200k sales within a month or two. I don't know if the numbers you're using are actually the numbers they're hoping for (Let's be real they're likely hoping for way more), but by your own standards they're 100% going to succeed.
>>739824162It's OK OP, you're 100% AIDS
None of you have played the game.I have and it's... Fine. It just doesn't play as well as Shovel knight and the core gameplay loop got boring within an hour. The reviews are not going to be uniformly positive because many others are likely to feel that stale-ness too, game just ain't great
>>739832112I'd be fine if the reviews I saw were saying that instead of crying that it's hard.
>>739826554Game isn't bad but it's genuinely got some issues in the gameplay loop. Not at the standards of Shovel Knight
>>739829931Only if you don't balance for them. With toggles you are sure they didn't balance for any of them. With that said I haven't bought this game yet so no idea if that applies.
>>739830629>ching chong nip nong>I DESERVE PELFECT TRANSRRATIONS STUPID GWEILOFuck off back to behind the Great Firewall, chang
>>739829663Didn't the trailer that showed off the gameplay customization features show presets?i.e if you are having trouble, turn on "assist mode" and it sets all toggles to a preset to make the game easier.
>>739827879dude they were burning down the country and murdering people for months when they did this, and I’m pretty sure the yacht club guy is canadian too, which would make this extra insane… $1 is fucking inexcusable. fuck these people.
>>739824287Soulslike combat doesn't work, period.
I was going to buy it but I literally cannot see what’s going on when I enlarge the screenshots. The resolution is so low. There’s no grid filter, is there? Why would someone make a game like this with such a basic usability problem?
>>739833185May we say one of those "burned down" places? Should be easy to get photos that aren't just a cia agent throwing over a burning trashcan for photo ops if they razed the entire country, right?
>>739833447the minneapolis police department and several businesses in minneapolis. google it
TrAnthro fatigue settin' in HARD.
>>739828043>need 200K sales to save the studiowait thats all it needs? Pfft thats nothing for them. The company is totally saved
>>739824404You are contractor tasked to do maintenance on generators you installed ages ago.The shit you installed is leaking evil radiations everywhere, but management insist it's fine and that OSHA has a standardized anti-local-citizen-turned-monsters shiv specifically for those situation - so stop asking questions and start stabbing and fixing.
>>739829931>realize your game is shit to an irrecoverable point during the last beta>decide to just vomit every single quirky effect you can think of in a menu >someone complain the part of the game you *actually designed* are shit>you can now handwaved it away and declare it's the player job to make a good game out of your messSo yeah, it's much lazier than actually fixing your shit.
>>739829507to be fair, using them disable achievements, so it's a huge>you didn't beat the game, doesn't countflagso most people will never use them even if it makes the game objectively more enjoyable for them
>>739829507Expecting people to design your shitty game for you is just ridiculous.
>>739833606Wow that's totally comparable to what you were saying lmao
>>739835124right? how much lazier are these dogshit modern devs gonna get?
>>739824231This kills the Minatrannies
>>739828043It's around 400k just to break even, and the head said if they don't sell 1m they will be disappointed. Budget was well over $5m.It's actually ogre for them
I have "go recover half your money from your body every time you die or lose it forever" fatigue.
>>739832568Absolutely braindead take.It's much more work to handle a fuckload of toggles and gives you more options.
>>739829507you have to remember most players NEVER check the settings menu
>>739824231Thank you sonic
>>739827879Ah, so the high reviews make sense now.
>>739828043>retard doesn't understand how buying games works
>>739841434They meant to round it up to 10,000 ... but they added an extra zero in there by mistake and wrote 100,000 instead.
>>739841434Sales fall extremely quickly now. Mina likely won’t ever sell 200k if it doesn’t sell 100k in first 3 days
>game forces you to pick a weapon without letting you try it on enemies firstinto the trash it goes
>>739842395i guess we'll see. If that doesn't prove to be the case i'm going to look back at all the seething melties in these threads with glee
>>739824162>less than 500 reviewsDamn, considering they had money troubles this flop might put them out of business
>>739842561One can only hope
>>739830329>Nine Sols was reviewbombed by virtue alone of being a taiwanese game, when it first came out it was just "positive"So did China stop reviewbombing NS or what?
I'm not a black looter, so the game is not for me
>>739824162I re-looted 5 copies. BLM!
>>739843629BasedIt's not stealing, it's reparations
>>739824231Keep saying it.
>>739842395Thats only true if the game is dogshitCapcom says half their total profits are from their back catalog on PC now
>>739843929>Thats only true if the game is dogshitbad news for Mina then...
>>739824162It's just another retro 2d furry Zelda with an inaccurate jump button because of the perspective.They literally make a million of these games every year on PC.
