Pretty much this.I had no idea it even came out...
And I do remember being interested in it at some point.
So it's not that good? That's very disappointing, and to be honest, I also had no idea that it finally released.
Now you are making me feel bad. I swear I bought Sword and Sworcery twice. :(Pretty sure you were being straight with me via the thread title [WINKY FACE GOES HERE]
I wanted to have an opinion on this game as a game, but when I tried to run it on my PC with 4GB of RAM it just ate it all and CTD'd due to failing to read a file.
So I have no opinion on this game as a game, but as a program it is very much a shoddy job.

I mean I played Return of the Obra Dinn, Florence, Celeste, Dead Cells, Between Two Gardens, Into the Breach, Donut County and a tiny bit of The Messenger this year in 2018. I also play a fair amount of phone games. (Monument Valley being my GOTY a few years back)Era poster Vire, player of all the indie games, makes thread about indie game not being popular or something
I wish you made this thread when Full Metal Furies had underperformed, there's a game that has been completely ignored by the playerbase
Didn't watch Microsoft E3 then did ya? :)
idk about NMS being a flop but its launch shitshow was flopping hilarious and my favorite fail of the last decade.
This seems hyperbolic, we don't know if it's actually flopped and even if it did flop, it's not even close to being the biggest indie flop ever. It was never touted as as big a deal as you make it out OP.
No matter how much you throw back to try and support your argument, it is absolutely a critical flop.
So you played most of the highly rated indie game's and this one didn't meet the bar so it's the biggest flop all of a sudden?I mean I played Return of the Obra Dinn, Florence, Celeste, Dead Cells, Between Two Gardens, Into the Breach, Donut County and a tiny bit of The Messenger this year in 2018.

If that's not enough, I'm not sure what to tell you.
No Man's Sky was not a flop at all though? It made back it's money and then some, and eventually and bitterly lived up to most of its promises through free expansions.
That said, relative to how much it was hyped it, it was released to so little fanfare and with barely any build up. That's the problem. I doubt many people know it even released, but that's on Microsoft/Capy rather than the game itself.
All of the sudden, I don't think you read the OP. I outlined pretty clearly why I felt it was a flop in terms of expectations vs reality.So you played most of the highly rated indie game's and this one didn't meet the bar so it's the biggest flop all of a sudden?
Define flop because if we're talking about sales (and normally I would when using that word), I don't think we know enough about Below's sales performance to make this assumption.No Man's Sky was not a flop at all though?

Exactly, no one is denying the sales success, but the reviews, the horrible launch and the state of the game, all the lies and the dip in playerbase and user reviews on Steam was not a "flop"; only a "disappointment" for one of the most hyped titles of this generation. And i'm not a casual hater, i bought the game day one.
No, a "flop" is a term used for a media title that did poorly critically and commercially. That's the usage in almost all contexts in media, including film and music. Terrible films that attract millions of people to cinemas aren't labelled flops, they get sequels!
Judging from many responses, I guess you could say that its release flew "Below" the radar!
I'll be here all week, folks!
Im just joking around. Thanks for buying Sworcery!Now you are making me feel bad. I swear I bought Sword and Sworcery twice. :(
Read my edit. 71 Meta with positive rating on steam just cause it didn't meet your expectation doesn't mean it's like biggest flop .All of the sudden, I don't think you read the OP. I outlined pretty clearly why I felt it was a flop in terms of expectations vs reality.
If you are proud of what your team made and no one's going hungry over it, I think a 60 review score doesn't really matter. Seems like quite a few people in this thread enjoy the game, so obviously it works for some folks.Im just joking around. Thanks for buying Sworcery!
OK FINE I'LL WADE IN MORE... FWIW, seeing our reviews range from 90/80/70/60s etc really means the game was divisive. Is that a flop? I dont think so at all, but I'm just one biased dude.
Not to be a dick, but how do you expect to run anything on 4 GB RAM today? Most phones have 4 GB RAM.
I expect a game that lists 4GB of RAM as its minimum requirement, to at least actually run on a system with 4GB of RAM.
I don't really see what's ridiculous about "Full Metal Furies".This is a pretty good answer, the ridiculous name really buried the game alive and they didn't leverage the fact that it was made by the people behind Rogue Legacy.
For me?I don't really see what's ridiculous about "Full Metal Furies".
Below is like the most non-descript name you could have, it tells you nothing about the game. Personally, I don't think that has anything to do with making a good title though.For me?
It's too close to Furries.
It's a mouthful (keep it simple! Like Below! ;)
It's rather non-descript and I have no idea what the game is even related to based on the title. (Then again, I'm sure that could be said about a number of games)
