InvictusCobra Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Basically, what the title says. Watch the video (TotalBiscuit's, not mine) and you'll understand. Hell, just one minute is enough, the rest adds to the feeling of dung. Quote
Nosebleed Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Even http://www.fimfiction.net/ has better derivative works than this. Funny enough I was just watching this same video when I opened the thread. Welcome to the indie game world where 80% of games are copies of each other. Quote
Flutterz Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Good old Russian games industry... It's games like this that make me proud of my motherland. :`) Funny enough I was just watching this same video when I opened the thread. Same here... Quote

Nosebleed Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Heard about this when I was reading through Dennis Wedin's AMA on reddit. You'd think people would feel some slight shame about blatantly ripping off someone else's game and slapping a new title on it, but apparently not... Quote
InvictusCobra Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 Well, the games insdustry is currently a sea of uninspired ripoffs, plain copies and putrid amalgamations whose "developers" have the nerve and audacity to make people pay for their supposed "hard work". Of course there are still good games and more than plenty are still coming out/being made and most of the crap I mentioned earlier never gets to see the light of the Steam Marketplace, for example. However, with the dawn of things like Kickstarter and Steam opening the floodgates for any and all, I've become much more pessimistic regarding small projects (and even more of AAA companies). Ah well, there is still hope and what I'd like to do for a living is sustained by this medium, so can't be too pessimistic. Just as cynical and suspicious as Yahtzee and Jim Sterling:D Quote
InvictusCobra Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 I'm surprised he didn't get funded. I've seen several projects get funding through Kickstarter and other crowdfunding sites that were just as bad, if not worse, than that. Steam really has to get serious with Greenlight, because right now, as long as you have enough connections, you can get it approved, regardless of the quality of the game, and it makes Greenlight as a whole look bad. The fact that a bunch of Russians supposedly voted for Bloodbath Kavkaz simply because it was set in Russia and made by Russians...ugh. Please, stahp. Quote
Nosebleed Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Steam Early Access and Steam Greenlight were two good ideas that the general public managed to abuse and give a bad name to, sadly. Quote
BookwormOtaku Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 I wonder if we'll see the Angry Video Game Nerd play this. Quote
Tawm Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 It's a joke game, made by trolls. The fact that they're charging for it while falsely advertising non-existent features on the Steam store page makes it border on scam. Additionally, they've stolen a lot of sound assets from games such as Call of Duty: Black Ops and Postal 2. They were also caught ripping promotional art assets from Payday 2. I don't think this game will last very long on Steam. Also, have any of you actually seen their Steam forums? They're actively deleting criticism and also banning users outright for mentioning Hotline Miami. 3k copies sold last I checked. That's a lot of money. Quote
InvictusCobra Posted April 23, 2015 Author Posted April 23, 2015 For anyone interesting, Jim Sterling has played this game, with the usual amusing criticism: Quote
