I really don't want to laugh at them but...
Ah who am I kidding?
The lack of mental faculties you'd need to think that something like this is good is absolutely astounding.
This game made me start up L4D2 and appreciate it even more.
This game really sucks.
This seriously looks like a fucking joke, the game, the entire dev team, valve letting them sell their game on steam. They are the best trolls ever or the worst developers. Or a valve arg.

A complaint against our game? Can't be our fault!
You all have to admit.... being able to try this with 3 other friends would be a blast. Hopefully they do a random free weekend or something...
So they lowered the price and also are apparently trying to make the game better.
Well that's a step I guess.
Now it's $10? That's still $20 too expensive.
I have some extra copies if anyone wants to trade

They should give us money to play that game
I am extremely tempted to get this just to see how bad it is. Maybe even try to port some of the maps and shit to L4D2, it would probably be a glorified copypaste job.
This just makes me depressed
you just know one of the developers is gonna show up at some point and flame us or something

ahahaha oh my god they have a section of their forums devoted to ancient aliens
Hahaha, oh my god, what

Well, they certainly made a "Great Work".
I have 2 copies left, I can sell them each for 6 keys if anyone wants, PM me!
[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;35723959]As terrible as the game may be, you shouldn't be making attacks on the developers for their appearances.[/QUOTE]
Yeah it is not nice.
The game might be bad, but I dont' see why everyone has to be an ass about it by insulting the developers themselves

I'll take a copy from you, alongside 4 keys. I am always happy to help a fellow Facepuncher to get rid of such terrible waste of Steam Inventory.
Waiting for a TF2 tie-in.
:v:
I sort of feel bad for them. I mean, it's not wrong to want to be a huge company in gaming, though they're going about it the wrong ways by hiring people who are "Self Proclaimed Non Gamers" and the sort.
it shows a huge amount of naviety to think a game like this would work at any price
the game mechanics aren't there and no amount of graphics will fix that... and the graphics are crap
they need to spend a LOT of time working out what customers want

You decline the invite :|

I was not sure if you understood the joke that you would be the one providing the keys, since you didn't respond to the chat message.

I wasn't joking, you missed out on a pretty sweet deal
[QUOTE=EliteGuy;35803764]I wasn't joking, you missed out on a pretty sweet deal[/QUOTE]
Well then, I guess someone else would be the (un)lucky man.
I'll be that unlucky man.
You know what I find really depressing?
Well for one, as has been mentioned numerous times is that most of the development team comes from the same family, but also the fact that at least 4-5 of the people on their development team have only a high school education or came from Devry Technical institute for electrical engineering or some shit like that.
Also, some of their aspirations like buying new cars, bringing the developer to 'the top of the charts' or turning it into a 'billion dollar enterprise'.
Fuck, they have like 3 high school kids on the team, and that bald fuck Kenny Dyal who is a 'self proclaimed non-gamer' and a surfer bum.
I mean there seems to be not a single person on that team that is even close to having a talent or skill necessary for making a game. MAYBE their programmer makes the grade, but even he is shit as evidenced by the 'invite everyone' glitch.
The animation department is a joke too, where they consider 'animating' a model putting on a MoCap suit and dancing around. It's an art, you don't just fuck about with a suit on and call it 'animation'.
And about that, aren't MoCap suits and systems like really expensive? They probably just do their shit with an Xbox Kinect.
The only relevant thing these people all have in common is that they have an obscene amount of time put in as 'gamers'. 20 Years? More in some cases?
It's like the got the bad end of the 20 years where computer/video games were still in their infancy and just completely ignored the rest.
This, more than anything else is a prime example that being a [B]gamer[/B] or just [B]playing[/B] games does [I]not[/I] make you a [I][B]Game Developer[/B][/I].
I mean really? Half their fucking titles are just made up or make no sense. The kid in the Venture Scout uniform is a real laugh riot. He has been mapping since 05 and specializes in [I]lighting[/I]? What the fuck does that even mean? He just goes around placing lights? How utterly and completely useless.
It's like they have 4 separate people specializing in 4 separate skills that a [B]SINGLE[/B] level designer should possess.
1 guy for lighting
1 guy for entity work
1 guy for making the actual level
1 guy for being a 'design artist'
All overseen by one random fucking guy with no relevant level design skills at all.
And let's not forget Jarred Wolfe, a 2008 high school graduate who always dreamed of working for a game company, yet really has goals to start a family and a production company for movies.
What the actual fuck? This has to be the biggest collection of people who haven't really and don't want to work in the game design industry.

Here's the thing; look at their bios.
Now; they are either incredibly stupid, or have never used the internet before they set up their site and marketed the game.
My feelings of hostility, come from the fact that it seems like they can just waltz into the game design industry and try to pawn off such a horrible game for even 10$ and actually expect not only to make money from it, but to make A LOT of money from it.
It's insulting, frankly. It's especially insulting [I]because[/I] it comes from a start-up company and not from well known exploiters like EA and Activision. You EXPECT those two will employ some shitty skinner-box scheme to take as much as they can and get away with it.
It seems like the developers came into the industry thinking that was OK, that it was easy to make a quick buck and rise to the 'top of the gaming industry'. I mean it's start-ups like these that are supposed to be more relateable, and deserving of support, not another leach to deal with.
So no, I don't think people should be making fun of their physical attributes.
But I firmly believe that their company and the capabilities of the people therein deserve to get [B][I]EXACTLY[/I][/B] what's coming to them. You don't just blunder blindly into the industry and expect success, and this backlash, brutal as it may be is necessary to prevent more of this shit from happening in the future.
