I was talking about the part in the rant where they pointed out that people voted for Postal 2. And otherwise I agree. I spend a lot of time going through that stuff and so far I have been thoroughly intrigued by one game, which was a horror game that quite easily may have been a Slender clone and I was merely deceived. Everything else was mediocre or worse. At the very least they were forgettable enough for me not to remember them now, but that may be do to the mounds of crap piled up on top of them.I.Muir said:
I'm sorry, fifty Slender clones is not an opinion. It is bullshit. And I'm not talking about clone like your average shooter, I am talking about games that are fucking identical. All of them do the damn note shit, all of them feature the same villain and the same features, all of them suck. This is not, "oh, you're just ragging on people for liking different things than you." This is ragging on people for liking what amounts to shit piled on the rotting corpses of the innocent. This is bad stuff, and for some damn reason, people want it to exist, and people fucking love to keep making it. There was a damn bed simulator on there!erttheking said:
Not really. I thought you were defending the whole thing. Still, their point is still true. Democracy's biggest flaw is that most people don't really know what is the right thing to do. Essentially, many people are just dumb. That is why representational democracy works better in many regards. Not all of course, just many.erttheking said:
On the off chance you are being serious... look at the title again. It's an acronym.Souplex said:
I haven't played Zomboid in months, but it was worth the money. I loved it, but it did get a bit boring after a while. I think my longest survival was a few weeks, and then I built a blanket rope to go out a window as an escape route and I miscalculated and it ended about 2 floors up and I fell to my death. I havne't played since they changed the animations and such, so I'm sure a lot has been done.Vigormortis said:
I do recommend the game to people, though, it's well worth it.
Edit to add on topic thoughts:
I like Greenlight, but I tend to say no to a lot of things because I honestly wouldn't play them. I think they need an extra button that says "This looks good, but I won't play it" because I feel like an awful person when I turn down genuinely good ideas. Not that I always do, but I also feel like saying yes to everything that looks like a good concept and is coming along well isn't the right way to vote either.
I love the face in the last panel.
The $100 entry fee did little to stem the flow of Slender clones, and I'm ashamed to say that I voted 'yes' to a few of them.

This perfectly encapsulates my entire experience with the "indie revolution". Sure, there were some good games made out there, but they were vastly outnumbered by the stampede of obvious clones from every person with the slightest bit of coding knowledge deciding they were going to be *real* game developers.

This joke don't work! 100$ fee! Recycled comment!Grey Carter said:
But seriously apologize to "Octodad: The Dadliest Catch" and "Stanley Parable:Redux"! Because I don't like your portrayal of retail releases of super indie mods/games.
Well, that sums up a lot of my feelings about Steam Greenlight pretty well.
Given, there are certainly a lot of good games that get Greenlit. I'm really happy that Giana Sister: Twisted Dreams got Greenlit.
But there's also a whole lot of junk that not only would I not buy, looks pretty amateurish in all the wrong ways.

Random slight thread necro: I know that song lyric reference at the bottom. I can't remember what song though, part of me is thinking it's Killswitch Engage but I'm not sure, it's going to be stuck in my head forever now.
