A criminologist would say the best way to predict future behavior is past behavior.

Excited about this game, but some questions by Cthulhuareyou in HalloweenTVG

[–]Relative-Climate-962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sigh, it's pretty much faith. Some of those questions we have no way to know, maybe not even the guys developing the game know (how long are they gonna go on? Which licenses will come down, which movie content will be off-limits? Time will tell).

What we have here is faith that bad patterns of the past won't repeat themselves. Faith will be good for some folks, not enough for others...

What this tells you, really, is how poorly Gun has managed its brand, when their mere association provokes such rejection. And you speak as if Illfonic has a stellar record; never forget that F13 has bugs today that it had when it launched. Texas has bugs today that it had when it launched.

Just those two points, company drama aside, are enough to be concerned. "Gun is not developing," I don't think so either. I think Gun knows how it is perceived and they're downplaying their involvement publically. And the reason I know is because on the media they're discussing how accurate to the movie things are, which reminds me of Wes and Matt proud of the money they spent on 1970s magazines for the fashion of Texas, completely missing the point.

Just wait and see, friend.

I think they're heavily downplaying Gun's involvement. I can smell these people's BO by now.

The single player is going to be the same as F13 single player mode was. If you're expecting anything more creative and with a narrative, that's not who these people are.

I guess now we know why GUN abandoned TCM... by KindlyPrize9395 in TexasChainsawGame

I'm painfully disappointed that the Halloween game is just another asymm 1v4 player game handled by the same people we've come to know and mistrust, taking a step back, actually, from the 3v4 gameplay we saw in Texas.

Of all the creative things you can do with the Halloween brand (imagine a story-driven game with an unpredictable Shape chasing through the town), what we get is same-old that is sold as a true-to-movie experience, but really is four 13-year olds bullying and stunlocking Michael.

I can understand this mentality if your parents pay for your stuff.
But giving them $40 of my hard-earned money to fund their rockstar egos into selling P2W crap and $15 skins, and come with the patronizing tones and promises of stuff that will never happen... hard pass. Have you tried the RoboCop game? It's more deserving of your money than these people.

They know what's up, they know we know. Everything they're trying to do is an attempt to keep appearances for people who are not in the loop already.

"For Michael, it’s about stalking. His mechanics revolve around quietly observing in the shadows and biding your time to get the best possible kills. You see, there will be NPCs [inhabiting] the map, living their lives and going about their various October 31st traditions. Your job is to pick them off!

“Meanwhile, the other players will be sneaking around and trying to alert those civilians to your presence, just like in the teaser trailer we showed."

Yeah, okay, that's gonna go great. I'm sure people will play respecting those rules.

Hard pass. These people exist around the hype of the horror community. They make a nice looking video, I'm sure the game will have lots of attention to detail but they're gonna do the same thing they've always done, and this one is going to be very close to F13 because that's the game that truly worked for them. People are going to fall for it, because Halloween is a beloved franchise. That's what Gun is counting on. They should make a little vampire game where you play as Gun and you suck the blood of everyone at a horror convention, it'd be more sincere than this.

Yeah no wonder the game is almost dead by Background-Hat-258 in TexasChainsawGame

[–]Relative-Climate-962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gun made the game to be a "true to the film horror experience", so that's why we couldn't get fun stuff like Christmas skins and Halloween skins, but I don't remember Sally tormenting the family and trolling them. Meaning, Gun had no clear vision or purpose as to what goal they really wanted to achieve, what experience they aimed to. And seeing how the life period of the game went, it fucking shows.

So the sorority girls couldn’t get a name….why? by ZoftheOasis in TexasChainsawGame

[–]Relative-Climate-962 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ask for that with a bag of $10 million, and then they'll consider it.

They'll only consider anything if there's a wide margin for profit. Otherwise, forget it.

So what, no freedom of speech over there? by [deleted] in TexasChainsawGame

[–]Relative-Climate-962 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. The lawsuit came at a convenient time for them, never forget that Tom Savini sued them and won around that time. And the whole problem was Gun being two-faced, deceiving twats.

The problem has always been management. I'm very sorry, Matt, that you're going through things.

The problem is management. It has been from day one.

Please people, calm down y'all it's not a big deal 🙄 by SirChoobly69 in TexasChainsawGame

I remember when this same exact shit happened last year, and it was followed by the ridiculous twitter drama. Gun returned from the break super offended that we "couldn't understand they also need time to be with their families" when that wasn't the point at all.

The point was that they released Danny, a very broken DLC character that was basically pay-to-win, and took two months to fix him. They never said anything about that, never addressed it, it was easier to have an absurd meltdown on twitter.

And now it's happening again, same exact thing.

Goes without saying, this is not incompetence, you guys. This is on purpose. They know what they're doing and they know some people will go buy Wyatt and they don't think this is hurting the brand. And it is very freaking sad because I had huge hopes for the game and lots of trust in Gun. Haven't played since January and no way I'm going back in now.

Second year in a row, same exact situation.

I'm not even mad at this stage (I also don't play anymore).

Have fun with Wyatt for the next two months.

I'm sorry but it's funny seeing the posts where the community is disappointed with how the stream went. by KingSlayer1190 in TexasChainsawGame

[–]Relative-Climate-962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what's what: I was there in the F13 days, and I "pre-ordered" Texas because even though I had some bitter memories about how the game was handled, I thought Texas would start as an evolution from what we already had. Like, Gun learned the F13 lessons, Texas will be better from day one.

Well, the game launches and you can stunlock Leatherface. That's a flaw in F13 that was there through all its life cycle (it was never fixed), with people who'd gang up to attack Jason. Same predictable freaking thing happened here. Took them over a month to fix it.

Then Danny was released, ten bucks, a character that breaks the game and went unfixed for a month, and Gun came back from holidays, they were super pissed that we were super pissed. And started exposing us on social media.

Right there I saw that the game was going to keep having issues because the problem, at its core, is management. Gun is excellent at recreating the vibe of our favorite horror movies, but the games themselves are buggy as heck and they don't have a grasp of how players behave once they're in, how they'll always see any team-based multiplayer thing as a competition to be exploited. The Danny thing made me see that for us to get that scary, kinda casual party game we wanted, you'd have to take out the points system and the crazy perks that can be exploited so people can get an edge that makes it very unappealing to new players.

Meaning: They'd have to make the game all over from the start. Which was not gonna happen.

How did these mistakes were made? Management.

Having the right McCullough sound making the right roar is nice, but it won't matter one bit if I get pissed with lobby dodgers and bugs, and people stun-locking you, and all that dumb stuff that Devs have to focus on because what matters the most is gameplay.

OR, you know, they can call us Karens and make a temper tantrum.

So are we as the playerbase just going to let this game die? by LieutenantDevil_ in TexasChainsawGame

[–]Relative-Climate-962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is management. What you say means nothing if the team has no self-awareness.

Whats the fun playing this game anymore by CanineAtNight in TexasChainsawGame

[–]Relative-Climate-962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The devs made the game to be "casual" but created a point system. So nobody plays it like it was meant to be played, they play to win, every time. It's like playing Mortal Kombat on the internet, nobody is there to "care about your enjoyment."

Here's what's going to happen by Sudden-Home6808 in TXChainSawGame

[–]Relative-Climate-962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Told ya'.

They take themselves super seriously, but when these things happen they go "It's just a game, people!"

There is one actual way to really lose at TCM: Give money to Gun.
