>>724516786 (OP)
megabonk, ball pit, duckov. indiebros are eating

Triple A games are a fucking joke this year. They've been mogged over and over by indies all fucking year.

AAA studios are probably seething at how many indies are completely dominating and overshadowing multi-million dollar projects.
Moreover corpos are probably panicking that trying to charge fucking $80 for games isnt fucking sticking thanks to indie games proving them wrong.

I get a bad feeling like vinny has to play these slop games to make ends meet.
They look fun but idk man

>80% chink players

>>724517570
the chinks are having fun

>>724516786 (OP)
this game is only shilled because it's chinkshit. nobody wanted "Tarkov but it's a gay mobile game for women"

>>724516786 (OP)
looks like a good laptop game desu.

>>724517797
>>724517879
Its fun though

>>724517797
I'll take a good game with chink propaganda over shit games with faggot propaganda. Sad, but that's where the industry is at rn.

>>724517969
We don't use that word around here sssstranger

>>724516786 (OP)
This seems like some shit mobile game slop that's only getting attention from being a parody.

It's like the gaming equivalent to one of those late 2000s parody slop movies.

>>724517969
its not really

>>724517068
effortlessly as well, they're simple games that don't take millions to make, without accounting for marketing

>>724516786 (OP)
shill me on the duck game. i like to watch tarkov on yt but i don't have the 9999 hours to become barely competent at it

>>724523575
It's PVE so you don't have to worry about every lobby having at least one cheater in it.

>>724523575
Singeplayer top-down/isometric shooter with the same general loop as Tarkov. Go out, loot, shoot, get new gear, don't die, complete quests, go back to base to sell stuff and upgrade. Since it's PvE you don't have to worry about getting raped by kitted out PMC teams but that doesn't mean the AI can't fuck you up, but if you die you can recover your stuff at least. Obviously it being PvE means it is more casual but it still has that same dopamine hit when you find a good weapon or that item you need to progress a quest.

ESCAPE FROM DUCKOFV VS MARATHON

>>724525227
NTA but I'm thinking of picking this up. What difficulty do you recommend?

>>724516786 (OP)
>all Tarkov had to do was make a singleplayer version that's easier and has a more 2000's FPS feel to it
>this minor task was too much for them
Lmao

>>724523575
it's like Tarkov but without the immersion, aesthetic, or anything that people liked. it's got that ultra chinese style of "baby toys wearing armor" they love for some reason. It's an isometric single player game. If you are interested in Tarkov for ANY reason, it is absent from this game.

>>724517309
>>724517106
This would only be true if those AAA games didn't still make a ton of money. Even when a game fails and everyone hates it, it still somehow sells millions. Failures that actually lose money are few and far between and AAA executives will keep rolling those dice as long as they either keep making money or view the losses as acceptable to push an agenda.

>>724525401
true the china duck game is actually far superior to the tarkov game.

>>724525349
I started on Survival and have been doing fine so far.

This POS is the kind of game people would have called a mobile phone chinese ripoff just a decade ago. Western consumer IQ dropped like a brick

>>724525878
China is also exponentially more wealthy than they were a decade ago and have a games industry beyond mobile crap. This is also like a $15 game that isn't pretending to be anything else

>>724517068
megabonk is kinda shit

>>724516786 (OP)
played 30mins of this then deleted it. dogshit game

>>724525878
The western game devs ability has also dropped. This shit will probably be more entertaining than Marathon.

>>724526831
wow next you'll tell me that getting kicked in the shin is better than getting kicked in the teeth. I don't want either you dumb ching chong retard. you'd be better off donating directly to the CCP and watching AI generated bilibili videos than playing this dogshit

>>724525227
>if you die you can recover your stuff at least
not if you die again while trying to recover gear with less optimal gear. then your previous death box gets overridden because of course it fucking does
>that item you need to progress a quest
i've been stuck for 10 hours because i cant find a second vodka or a specific cellar key while swimming in whiskey and cola and getting dozens of duplicates for other keys

>>724527072
I have yet to die a second time after dying so I was not aware.

>muh mobile game
You obviously haven't played it if you think this could be played on mobile, it wouldn't even work with a controller.
Duckov is the best top down shooter I've ever played, 9/10 game so far.

>>724527318
you're going to talk about gameplay in reference to this mobile game that bugmen purchase on a computer?

>>724527445
This has 100x more gameplay than modern AAA games lmao

>>724527445
>you're going to talk about gameplay in reference to this mobile game that bugmen purchase on a computer?
better than seething and posting about a game you've never played.

>>724527445
Are you just a muskbot projecting your seethe about China onto this game? Fucking hell dude

>>724525401
>>724525561
why would i play it instead of zero sievert, another 2d sp tarkovlike

>>724516786 (OP)
>Chinks starting to develop soulful games
It's over for the western games industry I'm afraid. This is the best Chink game yet, It's not just a soulless clone like its name suggests. They took Tarkov and made their own game with it. The scopes, the way recoil works are all done very well and not like any other isometric shooter that I've played.

How does it compare to quasimorph

>>724536703
thank you for bump when advertisement get far from page 1
ching chong chong chang chingu my friend glory to the dogeaters

I went into this game expecting some fairly low quality chinese slop but it actually is good. The maps are fairly big, there's tons of loot and neato stuff. Like finding a blindfold and using perception totems turns you into a "blind" wallhacker. Melee is very viable too.
The storm area is cancer until you have the space protection suit but otherwise 8/10 game actually had a blast.
I recommend extreme difficulty or rage, playing through a second time on a higher difficulty isn't really that fun or hard, so make sure you choose the right one for you the first time to get the real experience.
A lot of playstyles work really well and there's a lot of strange/unique items with fun mechanics the game will NEVER spoonfeed to you.

>>724518087

both are the same you retard who do you think spreads the gay shit in the west you massive retard

>>724517797
>>724520254
>>724525878
This is the beginning of their profession from the slop era. This game is about as fun as older games in the west, they can only get better from here

>>724536774
>Like finding a blindfold and using perception totems turns you into a "blind" wallhacker.
That is ancient roguelike stuff, as in Nethack not Hades. Shows they have some cool inspirations at least.

>>724527154
for me it was getting raped by the speedy gang by the warehouses and then going back in and getting trapped in the northeast corner with Lordon, his dog and a merc squad blocking the way out
lost my good kitted M4 and a lot of AP AR rounds, everything else was whatever because the game keeps handing me lvl 3 armor like candy

>>724516786 (OP)
>pve
Isnt it a shitty extraction shooter?

>>724536908
yup and there's a lot more like that in terms of the equipment you can find, when you're doing the blindfold perception build you can spam smoke and gas grenades and completely trivialize most fights since you can see through all smoke
there's some low quality stuff like the knife gambling lootboxes but you can safely ignore that and complete the game fine

>>724537105
It's a PvE extraction shooter.

I'm surprised more big studios arent trying their hand at indie market like Dave the Diver.
Yeah, that wouldn't ve indie then but whatever, small trendie game targeting the audiences of indie games fans.

I guess Ubi's failed attempts at metroidvanias PoP count.

Pain.

>>724516786 (OP)
Still kinda funny this is funded by basically Chinese Youtube. Still looks cool though, I'll wait a while and see if it gets more updates or if they just dump it like what happened to Noobs Want To Live about a month after I bought that.

>>724516786 (OP)
why is there no fps/3ps like this with pure sp survival/looting shotter gameplay? (stalker mods dont count)

>>724541052
It's called State of Decay.

>>724527072
I've only had 2 deaths where I've suffered real setbacks. But honestly? If you keep doing missions, your deaths will hurt less. Completing missions or grabbing blueprints means you can either rebuy or craft what you lost back at your base, in most cases. It will sting if you lose a gun with a bunch of attachments you liked though.

If you need keys, keep looting the houses and the road camp past Chapo. Both the starting zone and warehouses can have that cellar key, IIRC.

>>724541110
but its not a shooter, its zombie survival with completely different combat dynamics

>>724517570
Look at the graphics, it's clearly made for them, of course most players would be chicks

>>724541416
I mean it does have guns but I get what you mean

are there any isometric fantasy games that play in the same way? want to explore dangerous hand crafted dungeons, do some alchemy/magic, and actually lose things when i die. duckov really clicked with me and i'd love a fantasy variant

>>724541528

Oops, sry, missed the fantasy part, my bad

>>724541370
>gun with a bunch of attachments you liked
lost my fucking 2x and 4x scopes on two separate occasions and at this stage of the game only that fucker on the hill sells them and not even 100% of the time

>>724541669
no worries anon i appreciate the recommendation and will check it out regardless

>>724525227
>you can recover your stuff at least.
The game is clearly designed around the Extreme difficulty, filthy casul.
If you never lose your equipment you will just sit on a pile of money, and if enemies don't have x1.5 damage modifier you will always be able to facetank them due to metaprogression and superior weapons/ammo.

>>724516786 (OP)
>base building
As if fortnite wasn't cringe enough. You fucking chinese and your soulless attempts at creating things never work, can you please just stop trying? It's beyond a meme at this point and just getting sad. P.S. Fuck off shill. You don't need to shill this here, there are a billion bugmen in china who you can shill it to.

>>724529826
maybe hotseat strategy games count?

>>724543296
>base building
???

>>724542797
i finished the game on extreme and i'd almost argue the game was designed for rage difficulty
on rage you have new debuffs that require specialized medical kits and everything hits super fuckin hard if you aren't careful

>>724543442
Oh I just read the description that said 'build your base'. I forgot there was an even more limited version of 'base building' than fortnite in tarkov with that dogshit hideout

>>724539405
Studios mostly want to employ as many people as they possibly can. Your sense of self-respect and meaning as a corporate manager mostly comes from being the lord of as many people as you can stack up. The ones that are really driven by money make start-ups, the ones that really care about games make indie games.

>>724542797
I dunno dog I just picked survival because it was the highest option available on a new game, I figured the higher difficulties would need me to beat it first.

I had a lot of fun

>>724541614
dysmantle is such a good fucking game

>>724545747
Mid and late game get tedious and meh, but the concept has so much potential. Collecting shit and just dumping it into a container without any worrying about space is addicting and precisely what the duck game is lacking.

>>724543759
>I just picked survival because it was the highest option available on a new game
I think they patched it later, because now Extreme is available from the start.

>>724535926

Latest demo is pretty cool in terms of gunplay and performance but it's a long way off fulfilling it's potential.
The AI is absolute bonk at the moment and the permadeath save file wipe in Vostok is not for everyone although you can mod that out currently.
It's also another 1 man dev fiasco which frankly I'm getting very sick of. It's impressive what he has done solo but it just means that you're waiting months and months between updates and years and years before a full product.
When it hits early access and inevitably makes some money he needs to fucking hire a couple of programmers or asset developers to speed things up.
Surroundead is the same thing. Cool game although pretty much constructed out of asset packs, made by one guy, progressing at a glacial pace.
Everyone trying to be the next notch and rake it in. Just hire someone or ask for volunteers and get your damn game made within the next decade please. Constantly coming across promising indie games only to see that they've been in development by one nerd for 4 years and haven't even reach EA yet.

What you’re missing is that those companies require constant growth.
