I Never Knew Time Travel Could Be This Boring I like the idea of an insane Russian man and his two idiot dropkicks going around stabbing everyone in the eyes and that somehow this is unable to affect social change. No comparing it to Fallout, Stalker, Metro, or any other game- I want to hear solely about the work and ideas of the ATOM devs. You posted you enjoyed ATOM, so I want you to name one good thing about ATOM that stands entirely on its own merits. Now that I've answered your question, I have one for you. Steam pushes this game fairly heavily if you own a lot of CRPGs, so it's worth a look if only to see what exactly is being advertised. We could do this all day, but the fact is that small indie studios do produce good games on small budgets - so when we get something like ATOM, which has an intriguing premise that it absolutely fails to deliver on, it's worth examining how the hell they hosed it up. Of course, what we're forgetting is that there are tons of good indie games made by small studios that are actually good. Fallout 4 and Cyberpunk 2077 are right over there, made by AAA studios, and could easily be subjected to a ton of mockery for hours of entertainment. It's offensive, sure, but the more valid issue is "why are you spending this much time and effort on this small crappy game no one has ever heard of?" It's a fair point. I think I've covered all of the offensive bullshit in detail, like Abraham the Jewish bookseller who is a stereotype of.wanting money that doesn't actually require you to be Extremely Online to recognize, or using real Youtube celebrities as pedophiles that the game rejoices you killed. Before.Īlright, I've got 2 hours stuck in the Denver airport so I may as well answer this. Gort fucked around with this message at 11:21 on Nov 11, 2021įor one, it helps warn the people who were eyballing it for that oldschool Fallout RPG itch. They chose to do numerous lazy, hateful things, and it's funny to read about them without having to go through the slog of playing the game.īeing small-time doesn't give you a free pass to be a bigot, and "I didn't notice the bigotry" doesn't excuse it either. The flaws of this game have nothing to do with it having a tiny budget or being from a tiny studio. Doesn't really matter if the game is small time or obscure, infact, that makes it all the more likely it will happen. If the OP thinks the game is bad, its a classic subforum passtime to take down, in intense detail, their flaws. you should still take issue with the game being lazy and bad. I mean "Extremely Online memes and references", obviously. But why the need for a brutal takedown of a tiny indie game from a tiny indie studio, which have garnered next to no press from anyone in the mainstream western gaming world?Įven if you don't have a problem with alt-right bullshit. I'm not one of the Extremely Online that many here are so I don't have a clue about all the Extremely Online memes and references that are obvious and problematic to everyone who knows them, so maybe I'm missing something deeply important. I loved Fallout 1 and 2 and loved having a new game with similar gameplay that I felt captured the feel of the games that inspired it with an interesting new setting. Just to offer a small bit of dissent, what is the point of this thread? I really enjoyed this game.
