Limited Run Games |OT| Sweet XOXO for Digital to Physical Media

- Start date
The thumper artwork is stunning, did I imagine thumper supports vr ?
I hope for hellblade maybe this was the huge deal they signed at psx ?
I can see iam8bit getting grim fandango etc if lrg have failed
Just go to a craft store and buy a big piece of foam and cut it to size. A buddy of mine did that and worked out really well.
I'll probably end up doing that, once I go through everything and replace what I need to.
Next year. In a few months. There was a bug or something.
Finally!
Damn, I might have to miss out on this one. Money's tight after the holidays. If I can only swing one LRG release during the first part of the year it's going to be Phantom Breaker.
Yes in terms of QA and dealing with the bug. LRG has to answer the actual ETA since I can't recall anything else.
I think they teased it for January. If its not January, forsure February.
Night In The Woods LRG release would be amazing. My GOTY for this year, completely in love with it.
Hmm. I was on board with Croixleur Sigma because I thought it was an Action RPG. But looking at some reviews, it looks like a pretty basic arena beat-em-up, which is exactly the type of game I'm trying to get better about not wasting my time/money on as I get older.
On the fence with Rock Boshers, too... will have to look into that one some more.

It's always funny to be reminded some will find beautiful what you think is objectively ugly and probably vice versa ^^
BAM.
Even if I were to find the game appealling (I don't), the price is higher than usual, and there is AGAIN three variant covers to push some to triple dip, one of them being $10 more for no tangible reason.
I think it means that selling it for $2 on Steam isn't a good business model.
But... but... but... isn't more choice, more games, more buying opportunity.. more preservation always a good thing?
I might have misinterpreted the other post. So never mind edit.
Easy to have sympathy with the devs when you see PC people saying "wait for the Steam sale, it'll be $2" and PS4 people saying "just wait and it'll be a PS+ game in no time".

This is quite possible one of the worst games LRG has ever featured, so releasing this while claiming it's to help the people responsible to "continue thriving and creating their art" is a hilarious proposition to me, but hey, there's always people who will buy anything LRG releases anyway, so the more power to them.
Right, and the Internet is always full of hyperbole so it's easy to dismiss it as such, but I am being factual here. Don't be fooled by the artwork, you are paying for a videogame, not screenshots. In fact, recall Plague Road which also got a LRG release and everyone was wowed by the graphics, but then they played it.
Man, Arcade Distillery is a bunch of scam artists who make terrible terrible games. I'm so disappointed to see a "Developers Edition" to help support them.
Developer Edition? What the heck is that nonsense? They should be grateful thousands of people are going to pay $30 for a game that is $2 on Steam right now.
I was about to ask what the third variant cover was then realised that the PS4 cover was also different!
Yeah, we knew. But I feel like people seem to understand this situation and why it's called the Developer Edition.
Will never understand the appeal to have something like this artificially limited in ridiculous numbers so that some collectors can put it on their shelf and be... happy? I doubt games like that will be worth a couple of hundred $ 20 years from now on. Barely anybody will even remember this particular game.
Whatever, good for them I guess. I still believe it's great that games that would have never gotten a retail release have a chance this way. It's just that I hoped LR games would have made bigger runs of more popular games when they first talked about their business idea/model. Or reprints of them if it's hard to guess how popular they are and how quick they sell. I mean I would love to buy things like Nex Machina or La Mulana, but on the other hand I think it's just not worth the hassle to wait until they are available for pre order only to get shafted by quicker people.
With every Indie game announced I hope LR doesn't pick it up. Practices like that just confirm my feelings about it.

Nex Machina and La-Mulana weren't hard to get. We printed enough of those.
We do increase the print size for larger releases, not all of our stuff instantly sells out.
I also don't understand. It's a way to get money from full-set collectors so the developer can fund their next projects?
Isn't like... patreon a better way?
Part of it is to ensure that they don't stick on excess stock, but the other part of it is to manufacture hype around releases. Same tactic is used by other companies out there.
I don't mind that much, I'll just vote with my wallet and won't take it.
I guess we're just bitter because every time a subpar game is revealed it feels like it takes some time and some space away from another game :x
(just talking about the game, not the triple cover + extra fee which is something else entirely)

I mean, yeah, we understand price gouging.
You tell me the value of an extra $10 for a slip cover.
On the LRG forums you said that this wasn't your idea (which I believe), but... you guys are the company? The buck doesn't stop with you?
I don't either; I don't really follow the developer.
That being said, for a developer in trouble that makes a great game, I'd be more okay with the prospect of a developer edition. Both Plague Road and Mechos Tale seem to have really underwhelmed, though, which makes their devs feel a little less deserving of the honor.
Practically speaking, this doesn't really affect or bother me. Buy the game or don't; it'll sell out regardless because of people chasing the complete collection rabbit.
It's complicated. Let's just say we won't be doing this kind of stuff anymore.
I will say this, I personally like Luc Bernard and think if he was given better timelines and fewer projects he could make a game that knocks it out of the park.
Yeah it probably will. Plague Road sold out pretty fast at the time, even if hype wasn't super high.
It's a small enough run that there should be no problem.
I hope he'll be able to conceive his masterpiece someday then. I don't like it when corporate hurts the quality of a product.
I get the feeling Luc is making his case now from what I've seen to get more time to dedicate to the games vs cranking them out so quickly.
That's fair, but personally I'm not sold on it, artwork be damned. Plague Road was an okay experience for me personally, but just okay.
I can agree with this. In the end we'll all vote with our wallets regarding the next round of releases.
i'm pretty sure Nex Machina and La Mulana were in stock until early saturday morning, maybe even the afternoon so there's nothing to cry about
I will always have endless respect for LRG bringing me so many good games, and for inspiring other companies to do the same (for better or worse). I have confidence that 2018 will represent a better swath of games on offer, but they have to get through the contracts they've already signed first.
Contracts like Plague Road and Mechos Tale were probably signed long before the game came out, and I'm sure they're just as disappointed that the game didn't shake out to be a CupHead or Ray Gigant.
The problem is that they know the full set collectors have gone this far, so they'll buy crap to keep the set.
Ok so I tried Mecho Tales. Granted I've only played for a brief time, but the game seems flawed in the control scheme. Maybe I'd eventually get used to it, but it's a twinstick side scroller. The right stick fires from a drone that follows your character around rubber-band style. The default jump button is the right trigger on the pad. I found that somewhat cumbersome, but if the game was interesting maybe I get used to it. Would be tough to remap to a face button since you need the second stick to fire.
The worst part to me was trying to dodge enemy fire while actually shooting things. Trying to aim is weird b/c you are shooting from a rubber-band drone rather than one you actually control. And dodging stuff is weird too b/c you're trying to track and aim from the drone. I like the art style though.

Unless the next round is hellblade and night In the woods then I don't care if there is 15 covers
