I actually like this game but it should have been like 5 hours long and $5 not 20 hours long, because it overstays its welcome by 15 hours.
Highguard devs were claiming they were le indie.
>>741941457What makes you say that?
what makes something an industry plant
I don't think its an industry plant as much as the idea of a single player, self-contained, reasonably priced buy to play title is so fucking foreign to Nexon that they had to complete a completely different subsidiary experimental games wing to give this completely asinine concept to the chaebol mindset a try. The game itself is quite good and they've been updating, expanding and recently a big fucking expansion pack for it.
>>741944663if you don't like it
>>741944529it was called an "indie" game, but it was developed and self-published by Nexon (Revenue ¥274.5 billion (2021)). Won every single indie game award in the world.
>>741944572Agreed. Felt like something similar happened with Sukuna Rice and Ruin. There's just way too much repetition.
>>741941457umm no thats dave
The most forced AAA franchise ive ever seen
>>741944663Any successful games that i dont like
Mixborn.Dusttape.
>>741941457>This was an industry plantYou can't just say that and not provide any actual evidence.
>>741946523Hoping the newest Horizon will flop so hard Sony will finally have to shelve it.
Mouse: P.I. for Hire
>>741946523If you play shit like this you're an NPC
>>741946523>>741948601>>741948831...why?
>>741941457>>741944618>>741947365OP is a tranny cuck
>>741941457Like they paid for publicity? Sure. I played it and enjoyed it. Just finished a playthrough and excited to see what’s in the jungle.
>>741941457It was ok game for the money.
>>741949573>and excited to see what’s in the jungle.Fuckton of cameo crossovers that makes you think that most of the dev time was spent on talking with lawyers and managers instead of actual game development.
>>741941457REmake 4
>>741944663The pretending you're not of the industry is what makes one a plant.
>>741941457Silksong
>>741941457I can’t remember if the devs themselves ever referred to their group as being indie though? I mean I know journalists and moron consumers did.
>>741949917So industry plant just means good game?
>>741949765>>741949851Every Staff member is a reference to another game. Which was apparently far more important than including an actual Final Boss for this DLC.
>>741941457Redditcore
They put the fucking green monster from Cut the Rope in it, and you hire him as an employee!Also some hilbilly music comedian that drinks gasoline.
>>741949982Oh that sucks.
is shovel knight in this? shovel knight was in everything for a couple years
Atleast we got an unhinged gun nut waifu.
>>741944663Investments of big corporations with a huge shilling wave, when presented as something independent
There's no Final Boss for the Diving segments and there's no Final Boss for the Jungle Turn-Based RPG segments.There's also no new Fish Farm and there's really no need to upgrade any of the Dishes that much anyway, since money and ingredients don't carry over between the DLC and the main game.
>>741944663When a major corporation publishes a game but calls it "indie" for marketing purposes
>>741949765>>741949851>>741949914>>741950016what the fuck
>>741952864I was watching someone play it for a bit and there was a Muse Dash item as well. I didn't see any other crossover stuff at the time so I was wacked out
>>741949713
>>741952864
>>741952864There's fucking Godzilla DLC
>>741953873But do you hire him as a cook?
>>741946523I think it's overhated here and is a decent open world game, but yeah it's nothing special. Forced is probably the best way to describe its presence in the wider social landscape. I don't know why Sony hedged their bets on this franchise in particular when they could have made it one of many other similar franchises like in the old days.
>>741954027You fight off Ebirah in a minigame. Not bad actually.
>>741941457Toby Fox
>>741944663When it's a game from a AAA developer, or otherwise has a fucking gigantic budget in the 10s of millions, but they present it as an indie game underdog in the marketing because it has a quirky art style.
>collabed with Nikke>Dave probably fucked the girls like that fat ugly bastard he isI kneel
>Wanted a restaurant sim>Its actually a fetch quest underwater adventure game and the actual restaurant part might as well not existlame as hell, hopefully the Bancho spinoff delivers.
>>741946523are you not browsing the catalog, and experiencing all the gta6 threads with names deliberately designed to avoid your filters and force exposure? they have been reposting ai reskins of the covergirl for weeks to engagement farm and are desperately trying to hype people up based on preorder numbers now. i have been here since 2012 but i dont remember any other ops being this bad
>>741946219Did nexon adopted the valve structure or something? With dark and darker, this, sounds like mfkas just do whatever they want there and it's just matter of how many people are on the project..
>>741954709You should play Touhou Mystia's Izakaya if you want a restaurant sim.
>>741959573I did
>>741941457i don't see this as a industry plant. It's a low budget indie game that's actually decent. That's all it is. Got good enough sales to make another game.
>>741954709>>741960242What about Cuisineer?
>>741948831Even NPC's didn't want to play it, it simply sold as much as it did because it was always bundled in every retail region, I know multiple people that just gave it away when they got their consoles
>>741960351Indie, kek
>>741941457This game would be good if it stopped getting in the way of the fun
>>741960242Is there anything as good? After playing it I feel like I'm just never going to be able to play another restaurant sim as it will just pale in comparison. I don't even know anything about Touhou.
>>741960567i'll give it a go, thanks.
>>741941457Cruelty squad
>>741949119no organic demand for it, yet it has sequels and bunch of crossovers with famous brands like Lego. Demand doesn't sustain this, but corpo pockets can.
