Lmao this may be the most ignorant thing I've read in this forum
There's still plenty of space to foster hate, with or without a specific gaming forum.
Lack of a forum isn't going to put a dent in that matter. I mean you can just ignore it if you're not interested to take part in it.

y'all need to chill. this is their official line. should've know this would lead to this kind of reaction if I didn't specify every detail:

now let's move on from that...

you mentioned nazis
there is nothing about that in your response touting the "official line" that you linked which only talked about review bombing
so selling the lack of a feature as a plus based on that reasoning you posted is all on you and is nothing "official"
OP
OP
see edit above, also what even does it matter if every word in my post is a part of that quote?! you do get the point I was trying to make, though?
no you're being extremely disingenuous and selling the lack of a feature as a positive over disgusting edge cases to disparage an entire platform and a huge community.
I'll say no more as I'm not derailing an OT any further, but your argument holds no water.
OP
OP
I'm not making any argument. I'm telling you what they said supported by well established context examples. I honestly don't care if they do or don't have forums. What I failed to do was make clear that this was their argument in the initial reply.
OP
OP
It's because the people saying that are dissaccociated with what they're talking about, and would rather anything that can be used for hate that they don't care about just die then care for any nuance in a subject they aren't immediately involved with.
There have been shitty people on this forum, so I guess that haters are right, this place should be shut down. Like, it's absolutely ridiculous. Some folks are allergic to discussion, and addicted to snappy quotes. Gotta learn to talk past them sometimes.
I'll never put anything on ignore, but I will refrain from acknowledging low effort derailment.
Edit: oh jeez, I didn't even realize what I just did, sorry!
On topic, I absolutely adore the way all the characters are animated, the random system for the characters, the weirdly amazing depth in clothing options...
Whoever did all the moment-to-moment graphic design in the game is a real genius! The game looks and feels beautiful!

This thread is about Shakedown Hawaii. Please go back to discussing the game rather than throwing your comments about any forums related to PC Storefronts (Or lack thereof). There are numerous other threads to discuss that specific topic in.
So do they have an ETA on the "Basic features" update for the game? It would also be nice if they included a way to buy multipliers en masse, or move the numbers much, much faster when editing your personal salary instead of having to hold the button and wait as it scrolls through every single dollar amount. Come on guys, this is basic quality-of-life shit that shouldn't have been an afterthought after you release the game.

Vblank is more or less a one-man dev, while those are very basic features, cut them some slack at least in terms of tone. Ask on twitter, it's quite likely you get an answer.
I'm not defending the developer, but I'm not surprised a lot of basic stuff is missing. He's the type of creator that doesn't know when to stop adding content to his game (for better or worse) and probably just decided to release it now, as the game's original release date was April, 2017 (for some reason). I expect MANY updates in the coming months and an eventual DX version (free for all owners of the base game) with even more stuff added.
Great little game, I'm enjoying it much more than Retro City Rampage. The business simulator elements add that extra something to it to keep you invested in the world; while this game is pretty mindless, RCR was a little too mindless for me to be kept entertained throughout. I kinda wanna beat this 100% if I can. It's fun and charming. The SNES aesthetic owns.
I'm not going to go all-in on the dev, but I do think the difficulty could have been made a tad harder.
Having said that, I'm frequently an advocate of making games simpler so I actually get to see all of it rather than getting frustrated halfway through, so perhaps I'm just a massive hypocrite.
OP

Maybe there's a compromise to be found here. Maybe it's not even the difficulty but how engaging the activities are. It's not always just about "ooh I have to react faster or memorize this and that better so I don't fail" ...

Honestly it feels like its partly what a modern GTA would be if it stayed 2d over the top imo
Huh. Someone else had the same issue on Vita as me (Switch) on Twitter, so maybe it's been patched on some platforms?
I'm not saying it doesn't happen, just that it didn't happen to me. So it may be random or related to some other save-state that wasn't present when I played.
Beat this today, fun time. Last 1/3 of the game had an odd tone with all the fretting about business units "failing" and Featherbottom, as I was basically God at that point... making 8+ mil a day, I basically bought everything available on the map and still had 25 missions left. Gaming the multipliers makes it super easy to make an absurd amount of cash. Ended the game owning 78% of the island and hauling in 29M a day.
Even without any of those things, it's super easy to make a ridiculous amount of money, and whole campaign was only like 6 hours or so. I never really had to use personal money for anything anyway.

No, it's not difficult. I finished the main story tonight making over $50m per day. Though the fact there's no way to buy multipliers in bulk is very irksome, as you can spend quite a bit of time having to go down each individual list and purchasing each one. The developer clearly doesn't value the player's time when there are oversights like this.
That's not true...I'm on PC if that makes any difference.
Using an Xbox Controller:
Manage a business by hitting the A button. Then hit Y to see multipliers. Hit Y again to buy all. It will show you how much everything will cost -- then hit A to confirm.
I finished the game, purchased every building on the island, and maxed out multipliers for all of them. If I didn't have the ability to buy all multipliers at once I would have miserable.

I was playing on Switch and didn't see any such option. I don't think I missed it because I looked for the control details on the bottom of the menu.
Probably because I'm on PC. Played all of Tuesday and this feature was there. Maybe it's in a patch that Switch doesn't have yet?
Never played RCR and hadn't even heard of this, but I just might get it due to the PSV/PS4 cross-buy support.
Impressions seem good and I've got some space bux knocking around, so thinking I'll dust off the Vita.
Feels good to support small studios, too!

Bit late, but Vita performance is solid. Haven't experienced any slowdown so far, even in challenge missions where you're shooting rockets and crates are exploding in a shower of coins everywhere and pedestrians are running in all directions.
Initial boot up takes about 10secs, everything after that is instantaneous. Tiny footprint as well.

Stupid question, how do I acquire residential properties? Can't find any on the map that the owners are willing to sell, and can't seem to, like, shakedown a house or anything like that.

I'm liking this update. Scooter is a pain to upgrade at the Vet. I kind of wish he could get allowance from his dad/Feeble like his dad gets from the company.
Stuff becomes available to purchase as you play through the missions. You'll eventually get access to everything over time.
