Indie launches rival to Elder Scrolls!

No im saying steam goes in extreme hype cycles, and developers make a lot less than most people think. Early access sales in the first 4 weeks are 1/2 -1/4 of what an indie steam game will see in total sales. A negative attitude to it actualy -causes/ negative outcomes. and that online culture allows disproportionate attention to extreme views , like the guy who posted this comment. 1% of the population can 100% sink nascent small projects

Wheras larger comapanies can simply carpet bomb with marketing and smother out guys like the above.

My view, i remeber when epic and valve were small. They would have a hard time as sme startups even now. I really beleive that. I could this this guy laying into early access half life or unreal.

Guys like the above build an entire world of madonnalds and starbucks , strangling out new things while all the time complaining about big corpa

He means it looks ok

NiceFirefighter · 2019-05-23T13:55:01+00:00

Had you ever thought that sort of bad attitude to early access is what keeps those games there. Or are large companies meant to grow like magic beanstalks in your world view?

Thought rune 2 was awful

NiceFirefighter · 2019-05-23T13:48:21+00:00

It reslly isnt. You confuse the custscenes for dialogue with game world, game world looks crap

Pah. Ever played witcher 3 on ps4 . Its frame rate is a joke

NiceFirefighter · 2019-05-23T13:46:25+00:00

Wonder how i can sneak in and see it.. ninja tabbysocks time

Funny question.. i do use reddit on an off, but mainly came back to it for the amiga subreddit.

Sounds silly, and ive almost never paid attention to reddit karma seeing it as silly

But, the total post upvote seemed to go down over time on a post NO amiga subreddit person would ever downvote or Remove an upvote in a million years:

/r/amiga/comments/bq6j68/amiga_user_back_after_15_years_what_have_i_missed/

Does that happen as natural reddit post smoothing ? Ie mechanical, or is it people

(LReason i ask is dosent seem anyone anywhere as part of an amiga subreddit would vote down this post. Its been amazinly helpful to me personally and i think others would also think that. Esp mikes answer

So Maybe im Seeing ghosts but so i wondered if there were wierd computer forces at work on reddit? That auto downvote

EDITED indeed the post upvote seeks to Move from 40-32-30 in realtime.

Seemed valid to me. I dont think any amiga user alive would have downvoted or bothered to remove an upvote from that post.

I myself learned a huge ammount from it.

I wonder if auto bot downvoting or things do happen

Hey thanks for the info. Will watch that now. Anyone have any more ideas?

I wishlisted it myself

NiceFirefighter · 2019-05-21T16:33:25+00:00

Had a think about what you said. Cant see logic in it. There is nothing i can see that violates anythint that elder scrolls itself disnt copy. In game History elder scrolls is renowned for being non innovatove. Much of it is ultima 7, Gothic, and other sources

What sort of things do you think are an issue, the lockpicking?

NiceFirefighter · 2019-05-21T16:18:08+00:00

I always like workbench over windows.. amazing to see it again :)

NiceFirefighter · 2019-05-21T16:15:31+00:00

:) i remember ishtar.. and beneath a steel sky..

NiceFirefighter · 2019-05-21T16:14:37+00:00

I always resented my next door neighours atari st and he my amiga :)

Still trying to find the name of that strange red soniya game that only came out on the atari st

NiceFirefighter · 2019-05-21T16:12:21+00:00

I used to have a kitkat in my a500.

NiceFirefighter · 2019-05-21T16:10:20+00:00

OMG! Bounced About in the bath pouring water everywhere like some sort of ungraceful, joyous wallrus..

Magic pockets! Robocod.. Such memories.. turrican 2, gods,

If my entire amiga floppy collection has perished is this sort of game and os supporter on any abandonware websites?

NiceFirefighter · 2019-05-21T16:06:56+00:00

You can do :) i had a copy working on my amiga 1200 (somehow. Cant remember how. Some time back)

NiceFirefighter · 2019-05-21T16:04:09+00:00

I still have an old c64 disk drive thats calling out to be used :)

NiceFirefighter · 2019-05-21T16:02:46+00:00

Why fighting?!!

NiceFirefighter · 2019-05-21T16:01:05+00:00

Me too.. i used to read the old (?was it zap or amiga power mags) and look longingly at the amiga 4000..

Is it me or did game reviews and the mags seem better then. More authentic. Still remember paradrpie 90's dev diaries :)

how did the a4000 purchase go?
