I think Karma's main issue is something a lot of games fall into, that being that while trying to convey a message, it forgot that inconveniencing the player doesn't necessarily always convey what they want. There's a different between smartly conveying something and still making it functionally annoying without being too much and just making it too overbearing and therefore...well, stressful, lol. And yea, I get the point is stress, but there's a point where it actively hampers the game design. Maybe more clarity in things like purchases etc would've fixed this.
I was just thinking about that too. From what I've seen, it seems like there's an element (perhaps accidental) of inducing irl stress in the player too from the appearance, to the constant movement of edges, to the stress of trying to figure out how to move forward while not overloading on your stress levels. But it's missing an element of decreasing irl stress levels too. I'm not sure how they would manipulate the player's emotions in that way to match what they're trying to do with the mechanics, but I think if the player felt that balancing act between trying to reach your goals and trying not to overload yourself with stress in a direct way and not just as an "I can totally relate to this issue" type of way it would bring it into a genuinely good game.
18:47 That's a common tactic to sell your game on key reselling sites like G2A and other places. Because they sell game lootboxes where they guarantee the buyer "at least X games worth X dollars" to make it seem you're going to get at least one AAA game if you buy said lootbox. So instead of doing that they hit up indie devs with loose morals and offer to buy cheap review keys (every dev on Steam can generate a certain amount of keys they can hand out to reviewers/friends/backers). It's pretty disgusting.
always wondered why there were games so overpriced and after i found out that, i feeled even more sickened. because before I thought " Greedy devs specting fool people" but now is just nasty despicable strats...
@@TheaArtsFox Yea, it's just disgusting. What's even more annoying is when they are constantly on "sale" so they appear in the list of games on sale. Basically it's just the product version of spam. Really goes to show that there is absolutely ZERO quality control on Steam's store. But as long as Valve can still profit off it there won't be any changes.
@@kurdtcobencan tell you have no clue what youre talking about. Fyi steam offers a good return. So dont like the game refund it. Simple as that. But can tell youve been scammed a time or 2
Im assuming the reason Dark Astral is $60 is due to key reseller sites. Ive heard of stories where people buy random steam keys from 3rd party sites which include a high priced game which usually end up being garbage which was priced highly.
The game is expensive because it got delisted and removed from steam. The price goes up quite kickly for a majority of delisted games. Now carry on assuming
Ever since I first came across this series of yours, I keep telling myself "pace yourself. just watch a game or two at a time." but I always end up binging the entire video because it's too fascinating and your voice is so soothing. And now that I've caught up I have to wait for a new one. It's like eating my favorite meal at a restaurant I barely go to. I love to have it when I can but I can never have enough 😭 Please never stop making these!! It's crazy that bad games can bring this much pleasure but you are a wizard at it!
Watching you play The Visitor I was like "This feels familiar..." - turns out I played (and speedran) a game called "Exanimum: The Silent Call" which uses the same house model in one of its levels haha. Love this series :)
Found this channel by accident and it was exactly the kind of content I was looking for! Playing bad games is so entertaining to watch for some reason. Keep playing bad games and I'll watch it! Thanks! Nice video!
Last Epoch - At the same time Last Epoch was having these issues, Helldivers 2 was having MASSIVE issues, with no offline way to play, and that game still has very positive reviews. I was on Last Epoch at launch, it was annoying, but it also was expected. It's like the game was full of newbies who hadn't experienced online game launches. Online games of any popularity always struggle with launch day server issues, it's very rare for them not to. The few to "solve" this have had 3-12 hour queues to wait to get in the game, which start all over when you disconnect or crash.
then why are most the negative reviews about the game itself? from broken loot systems to insane bugs so i dont think that its that they are "noobs" they just expected a game that had a demo released 6 YEARS AGO to work on release silly them i guess! so now that the servers are fixed everyone has realised how bad the game is and the reviews reflect that oh and the game punishes you for doing more damage what a trash mechanic
Maybe after a certain number of good games in the midst of the worst reviewed game, like Last Epoch, you could revisit 5 or 10 of those gems to re-endorse them?
Why, son? Haven't your mother and I taught you that you shouldn't hurt yourself for attention? We're worried about your sanity, any more of these bad games and you might just... lose yourself. Just be careful... We love you.
I love how I found this series through RUclips recommendations and every time a new vid comes up I'll get another rec. Thanks algorithm, I love these 😊
The existence of Cobra Kai kinda baffles me. I thought we were past the era of shitty cashgrab games based on movies, TV shows etc., that kind of stuff was such a cancer during the PS2 era and especially the Wii.
Hey, it's a few months late, but Fobia made me curious and I went and found some videos of people playing it. For the spiked wheel, you have to perfectly time your jumps and land on the non spiked parts. It looks like it may be close to frame perfect, which would explain why so many people had trouble with it.
Galactic Bowling reminds me of those game discs you'd get at Walmart that would say like 2000+ games or something. Those always sounded cool to me until I got one and realized that like 99% of them sucked.
IDK if I misunderstood that part about the bowling game. In the 2000 we already had a huge gaming market on PC. The era you are talking about was in the early- to mid-nineties. Are you saying that the game was from that period (because that can't be) or are you saying it is a game that would have worked in that time period?
Yeah that was a weird premise. The PC game market was already huge, it just wasn't on online storefronts like Steam. You could go to any major store and find tons of great games on CD. Maybe he's just too young to know this.
It's incredibly generous of you to say "You'll why that price is egregious in a minute" when $60 is NOT what this game is worth based on the style of animation, and the graphics alone. A seasoned game dev, bad or not, should absolutely have better graphics. Like wtf.
My favorite son, I've seen the house of "The Visitor" at least half a dozen times in indie horror games and yes, indeed, all or at least most of these assets aren't hand-made.
When you said "The Visitor", I thought you meant the flash game with that title. It's a point and click adventure game where you play as a space alien that eats everything and can mutate on the principle- "You are what you eat".
For steamer simulator: There was/is a "RUclipsr Simulator" flash game. It got around the problem of not getting much money at the start by: Letting you get a job. The game adding that would help a lot.
If you want to play two really good Tower Defense games with unique mechanics check out X-Morph: Defense and Rift Breaker. Very addicting and with Couch Coop. Nice Video again.
@@YourFavoriteSon1 Actually, I am a game developer myself, watching these bad works relieves me, because even at my worst, I am much better than these and this reduces the excessive pressure and stress on me.
Maybe im tripping but i think streamer simulator ripped assets from Crypto Miner Tycoon Simulator. Either that or its the same engine Edit: im pretty sure they made a room in that game then screenshot it, put some bubbles over it, and called it a day.
@@joe--cool I suspected as much and watched someone elses gameplay, and comparing it to this, in the other person's gameplay the wheel moves far slower, so it's actually possible to do that. Looks to me like with the wheel turning as fast as it does here, it's impossible to jump correctly, because the character moves so slowly
@@flusendieb6833 I wonder if the wheel's speed is tied to the game's framerate or something like that. I know that happens a ton when people try to play old games on modern systems, but I can imagine an indie dev making a mistake like that too.
It took some time for me to understand that it was "MMA" not "anime" and I was very confused that you watch and practice Anime. Also I thought "what a weird pronounciation of anime"
It could be that Phobias physics engine is tied to FPS, so youre meant to have a very slow wheel you jump past but its speed up like crazy and makes it impossible instead.
So far im only half way through the Streamer simulator portion, but I have to say, ìf all that your describing is intentional, thats kind of genius commentary on the idea of Streaming as a whole.
If you'd still like to play a tower defense game that's good, I can recommend "Crystal Guardians". It's currently a free "Prologue" version of the game and is slated to come out soon. Some interesting systems, quite fun.
Some constructive criticism; don't use music with lyrics in your background. It was extremely distracting, and I know the volume was really low, some of us just have sensory issues. There are instrumental versions of heartbreak you can use instead! Because the song choice is excellent!
While I agree that Last Epoch wouldn't deserve a bad review, steam reviews are more "Do you recommend others to buy it?". It's not necessarily a quality rating, atleast that is what the review feature says but I think people mostly use it as a thumbs up or down system anyway. Anyways, great video! Keep it up :)
I hate the current mindset around release games. So many people seem to expect a flawless game on release and if anything goes wrong they start parroting "scam", "dead game", and "just refund" like the bloody seaguls from finding nemo. (Just to clarify, if you want to refund and wait til it's more stable, that's fine. Just don't shout it from the hiltops and encourage others to do the same)
I played through Fobia two years ago on the Switch. That wheel you couldn't get past was going way faster for you than it was for me. There is no way you could have made the timing with those mechanics with it going that fast. And don't fret about not beating it, it doesn't get all that much better if at all.
Why do I feel like the way to get through the spike wheel in fobia is to lower your fps? It look like the spike wheel is following your fps and spinning too fast
to be fair to developers (especially solo devs) making models is extremely time consuming so as a solo game dev myself i really don't mind games "ripping" models from the asset store.
Was really surprised to see last epoch on the list! Didn't realize it had been reviewed so poorly. I picked it up the week before release and have since logged ~200 hours in it. It's been a perfectly fun time, but I guess people just got really mad about all the release bugs and server issues. I've had no major issues since like the 1.1 patch. Certainly no crashes like at release.
Out of curiosity when did project z come out? Reason i ask is because it honestly looks like if someone took dysmantle (i think thats how its spelled?) took only the turret defense parts and had no clue what they were doing and botched the fun parts lol might just be because of the pov and graphics though idk
I've been interested in making something like that for a while, but I'm generally not a fighting game guy. I'd have to really learn a lot in terms of controls and mechanics for the genre, which would be an interesting video in and of itself. My answer in short is...maybe someday haha.
@@YourFavoriteSon1 thank for the replay love all your retrospective videos n and regardless of what's next I'm gonna watch it. Keep up the great work son!!!
I feel like Karma is missing a more irl interactive element to drive its point as well. Elements that would increase and decrease USER stress as well. Not just as a game mechanic, but as something that the user would feel in their body as a result of interacting with the game. If they could have figured out how to manipulate user emotions that way, I think that could have been super interesting. As it is, the game JUST looks like it has increasing user irl stress levels down pretty well though. It needs elements that decrease stress of the user too.
I saw LE in the thumbnail and was about to Deus Vult but its literally because of the reviews eviscerating the server issues that have been fixed by now lol.
if u have time try the first cobra kai game : cobra kai the karate kid saga continues , actually brougth me back to old style scrolling beat 'em up and actually had really fun going trought it , second one was meh fun dialogue tho if u are in to the series
I think Last Epoch fixes a lot of that. That's the main appeal of the game is that you don't really need to do a ton of research just to be good at the game. With that being said, there's still a ton of variety in builds. It's great.
you know what sucks? Im the son that is not the favorite. My family went out to get pinkberry and left me in the bathroom. Well its been ten years and im now assistant nightmanager of the lowest rated pinkberry in the tri city area.
@@zachwathen9689 I can't really remember, but I'm pretty sure, only the spikes should hurt. It wasn't that hard and I'm not very good at Jump'n'runs. And I liked it. It's not very long but I bought it on sale. Later there is also an enemy, a shadow version of themselves. That was kinda hard. So yeah I'd recommend.
Streamer Simulator and RUclipsr's Life games brought me a flashback of a piece of history I had totally forgotten. Pewdiepie's Tuber Simulator. Anyone remember that one lol?
Last Epoch is really good. The story could be told better, especially from a world building perspective, but the game itself is really fun. I only play it in offline mode, so server issues don't affect me. (It's so nice to have a game with an offline mode in these days.)
16:50 Yes, yes it does. As long as the game or product doesn't work, customers are eintitled to say so. It deserve the rating, so other people don't buy it and maybe wait until the issues are fixed, so those customers can have a better experience.
![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)
Note: Last Epoch is now at "Mostly Positive"
Note 2: Cobra Kai was originally a RUclips Premium show, not a Netflix show.
Would be more accurate to say *back* at mostly positive
Steam reviews was a mistake. Most of them aren't even real reviews 😂
Last Epoch is SO good. It just got review bombed for a week of server issues. OW2 servers were 100x worse at launch
15:49 - you said it was 150k at launch, then at next saturday this number got up to 230k... guess that was a very rought week for backend team
it was a review bomb, now the game is playable online. tbh i expected those problems so i played offline until the servers were more stable
"The amount of money you get streaming is barely enough to pay your expenses"
This game is so realistic

Getting money day 3? I don't think so lol
These have become a great "wind down and relax" kind of thing for me.

There's definitely a balancing act when trying to include more meaningful mechanics.

@@imalittletoxicjustalittle wdym with being punished by doing more damage?

That would probably be a good idea after getting maybe 10 or so. I can really only think of like 2 or 3 so far though.

I went back after this comment, now I've seen it. It really made me wonder if there's more hidden stuff in that game.
Using these videos to help remind me I'm doing a good job as a solo dev, so thank you. I can program in peace.

Visual design of the second game increased my stress more than any amount of programming ever did

Sometimes a simulation management game becomes too realistic.
Niko! Its Roman, lets go galactic bowling

I heard galactic bowling and thought it was bowling with planets…I kinda want that now
The house in The Visitor is the same house as one of the houses you can build for yourself in Ranch Sim with some minor changes.
The least realistic thing about Streamer Simulator is that the streamer only pays $500 for rent, for that much space.
Well it is 500$ a week so 2000$ a month which yeah seems right lol

It could be that Phobias physics engine is tied to FPS, so youre meant to have a very slow wheel you jump past but its speed up like crazy and makes it impossible instead.
over the years ive learned a very simple lesson: if a steam game is overhyped and costs 60€... it almost always flops

Looks like Dark Astral and the dev's other games (at least a few I searched for) have been removed from Steam.

With the release and success of tekken 8, any chance we could get a retrospective on the series???
I've been interested in making something like that for a while, but I'm generally not a fighting game guy. I'd have to really learn a lot in terms of controls and mechanics for the genre, which would be an interesting video in and of itself. My answer in short is...maybe someday haha.
@@YourFavoriteSon1 thank for the replay love all your retrospective videos n and regardless of what's next I'm gonna watch it. Keep up the great work son!!!
Son we love you. This doesn’t have to keep happening!
I feel like Karma is missing a more irl interactive element to drive its point as well. Elements that would increase and decrease USER stress as well. Not just as a game mechanic, but as something that the user would feel in their body as a result of interacting with the game. If they could have figured out how to manipulate user emotions that way, I think that could have been super interesting. As it is, the game JUST looks like it has increasing user irl stress levels down pretty well though. It needs elements that decrease stress of the user too.
I saw LE in the thumbnail and was about to Deus Vult but its literally because of the reviews eviscerating the server issues that have been fixed by now lol.
I've played it far too much since launch haha
The whistling is so nostalgic
This video series is comfort food for my mind. Yum yum yum.
Enjoyed your comments on Last Epoch, and agreed with all of them. Good work being balanced regarding the 1.0 launch.
if u have time try the first cobra kai game : cobra kai the karate kid saga continues , actually brougth me back to old style scrolling beat 'em up and actually had really fun going trought it , second one was meh fun dialogue tho if u are in to the series
day of payment 2 had me cracking up for some reason
Bro baited us all with the thumbnail of LE. We all know LE is great
Steam page currently shows "Mostly Positive" for Last Epoch
Mmm want to try last Enoch. Think i hate about most arpgs is that i do more reading on the game systems and build than I do playing the game
I think Last Epoch fixes a lot of that. That's the main appeal of the game is that you don't really need to do a ton of research just to be good at the game. With that being said, there's still a ton of variety in builds. It's great.
GameMill almost feels like a modern incarnation of LJN.
you know what sucks? Im the son that is not the favorite. My family went out to get pinkberry and left me in the bathroom.
Well its been ten years and im now assistant nightmanager of the lowest rated pinkberry in the tri city area.
Ah son.. You make me proud!
I played Fobia on the Switch and I reached the end.
I didn't even realize it was on switch lol
How do you get past the wheel? Would you recommend it?
@@zachwathen9689 I can't really remember, but I'm pretty sure, only the spikes should hurt. It wasn't that hard and I'm not very good at Jump'n'runs.
And I liked it. It's not very long but I bought it on sale. Later there is also an enemy, a shadow version of themselves. That was kinda hard.
So yeah I'd recommend.
Streamer Simulator and RUclipsr's Life games brought me a flashback of a piece of history I had totally forgotten.
Pewdiepie's Tuber Simulator. Anyone remember that one lol?
I actually completely forgot about this game
It's still relevant!
It looks like all of the games from the Dark Astral Dev including Dark Astral are no longer even listed on steam. So thats good news I guess.
I've never heard of Last Epoch. It actually looks like a lot of fun. I'm gonna check it out as soon as I'm done with FF7
Last Epoch is really good. The story could be told better, especially from a world building perspective, but the game itself is really fun. I only play it in offline mode, so server issues don't affect me. (It's so nice to have a game with an offline mode in these days.)
16:50 Yes, yes it does. As long as the game or product doesn't work, customers are eintitled to say so. It deserve the rating, so other people don't buy it and maybe wait until the issues are fixed, so those customers can have a better experience.
It's what the reviews system is for. People get mad at review bombs but they're informative and a large warning for uninformed buyers.
1:55 had me dying lmao
hey son, can you make Retrospective video on Hitman series?
It's on the list eventually. I'd like to get into that series.
THE MENTION OF CUBEWORLD HAD ME SENT. I still love cube world, Just hate what happened and the lack of what happened.
