pretty cringe price

[brettapuss]

This guy clearly just scrambled to stuff something else together that somewhat resembled cruelty squad visually because all the notoriety gained from people like Pyrocynical covering the game then jacked the price up to a ridiculous amount in the hopes people would buy it.

[>:(]

yeah its pretty shameful, he then had a meltdown on social media. hes been hiding for a week now though. he probably had a reality check and realized how embarrassing him and his sycophants were acting.

I mean its pretty fun and I enjoyed it a lot but that price is ridiculous for a 20 hr max game to full completion that is not optimized or finished yet. I will say there are many games that would probably be better investments. $20-25 would have been great pricing and so much controversy would be dodged.

What's with all this 40 dollar being too expensive for first worlder? I thought you guys showering with expensive sparkling water sourced from Alps, wiping hinder quarter with gluten-free bread, drinking kerosene and riding horse to work.

What are you talking about? There are literally just two tweets mentioning people's complaint about difficulty and the rest are just memes.

It's okay to not agree with the price. At the state in which the game is now it's awful but to make up a scenario in your own mind about how the dev is having a meltdown on twitter is some next-level cope, lol.

i agree, who would even buy such a thing

i have no idea what you're on about. $40 isn't necessarily a tone of money but we're in a cost of living crisis and when something is over priced $40 starts to look more valuable as you realise it could be put to better uses. When you set a price for something you set a standard too, most people can very easily afford to spend $40 on a game, but when the game clearly isnt worth the $40 dollars it feels more like that $40 is being stolen than you buying something. Right now Baulders Gate 3 is $40, Last of Us Part 2 $40, For $10 more you can get Monster Hunter Wilds, Spider-Man 2. If you can honestly sit there with a straight face and say this game is worth $40 then you're not a gamer at all. You're just someone who has more disposable income and just contributes to the downfall of this hobby. Going back 10-15 years ago we called stuff like this out now people just roll over and take it, and even defend it by saying people are broke when they call it out. You aren't special because you bought an overpriced game, a Nikki Minaj skin in Call of Duty or a cringe Fortnite skin with dance emote.

It all started with the damn horse armour in Oblivion and here we are all these years later with gooch licker outright defending this stuff madness. What happened!

This game is worth $5-$10 at best, but the developer listed the it at a silly price because he has a bit of a following now because of some Youtube coverage of his previous game. So hes trying to cash in on it.

Also, I think you should be more pragmatic with your approach. Personally I think everythink is worth whatever people are willing to pay for it. People were buying beanie babies for hundreds of dollars. Now while I personally think both the price of that fad and this game is overblown it's quite insulting blaming people who buy this game for contributing to the downfall of gaming.

Well I never said I’m special just because the fact I can afford PPR, if I did it would be as stupid as pseudo intellectual claim they are smarter because they watch Rick and Morty. To disclaim I didn’t actually paid 40 dollar, I paid 20 dollar which is like working two day shift in convenience store where I live.

I do realize in some country even a single soup can cost around 3 dollars on average and 40 dollar if plan well can live for the entire month. Maybe someone’s spare money to spend on hobby is exactly 40 dollar after paying living expense with their wage. However, with these facts raises a question: why should entertainment commodity’s price be lower just you couldn’t afford it in the moment? I don’t want to jump to the conclusion of parroting “no like no buy” but I’m generally curious what part of the game you don’t like or you think isn’t able to justify its 40 dollar price tag and, despite out of your affordability you incline to purchase it even in short time the price certainly won’t be cheaper unless sales going on? Something must be really good about Consumer Softprouct’s product and yet you only willing to pay lower price to purchase a product with better quality.

Now, for the commodity you have brought up. Maybe in the near future I will purchase Baldur’s Gate if it is on sale, I know this game because of the Youtuber Warlockracy. Call me a contrarian but I don’t want to buy Monster Hunter Wilds despite some of my friends playing it, because I purchased Nier: Automata and regret buying it. Not going to buy Marvel related stuff, the rest I think you can figure it out. With this in my mind I probably saved 130$ which is fine for me to purchase a game developed by a guy I known before and appreciate. I’ve purchased some various other games which I think is really embarrassing for me. I’ve purchased Tarkov EOD edition, World War 3 which is before it got acquire by Mycom and currently doing F2P with micro-transaction. The most embarrassing one, Battlefield 2042, the most expensive package because I was confident EA and DICE certainly won’t be that incompetent to screw up copying whatever Battlefield 4 is good at, guess I was wrong. I’m willing to purchase Psycho Patrol R for even 60 dollar just to give mainstream AAA game dev a giant middle finger. Plus, I’ve already put 211 hour in Cruelty Squad and 51.7 hour in Psycho Patrol R, I think both worth the price.

For now I can’t really think of any game I’ve purchased for less than 10 dollar and is quite memorable, PPR is literally the last game I’ve purchased before my VISA card expired. My personal lyf hak is if a product is currently too expensive maybe you should put money to better use, save more money to purchase and come back while having a sale. The forbidden option also can be considered if desperate.

Ville feel free lower the prize and/or make the game doodoo for the lulz, I certainly can’t refund now that’s for sure. I was on the Civvie train not inflation fetishist train for your information.

What an outright cynical interpretation of what's, by nearly any examination, a single man's passion project. He literally has been working on this game since Cruelty Squad's release, when it had NO following to take advantage of, as a matter of fact.

Like, sure, disagree with the price,
"Hurr durr he's just milking his fans" is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tiring when, if I was working in Godot 3 like he still is, I'd be charging $80 for the trouble.

Maybe find a way to say "I don't like this price" without slandering a man you don't knows intentions, all because you're pissy a game you clearly don't like is going to make a man you clearly don't like more money than you think it should?

He literally posts memes about how he dislikes the popularity Pyrocynical brought to Cruelty Squad, how people who go "Lol gorbino's quest!!!!!" are annoying soyjaks.

Maybe learn literally anything about the actual circumstances of a game's release before vomiting your impoverished screed all over the Steam forums?
If anything
It seems to me like you're using the price as an excuse to speak unfactually about the Psycho Patrol's development. There is nothing "scrambled together" about it, it's just a little empty because Early ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Access.


Consider this
If you were a completely cynical gamedev who wanted to milk happenstance fans,
Wouldn't you reuse assets from the game the fans liked?
Wouldn't you just wholesale reuse the entire framework, gameplay loop, character models and weapon models from the initial game?

Then why is it, I wonder,
That he didn't do anything remotely like that and instead developed a different visual style for the people and weapons and world? And why he made a completely new gameplay loop with entirely different game rules and an entirely different setup?

Really makes you think.

Epic bait though, King/Queen.
