Haha, what an absolute mess. This absurd dispute is far more exciting than the game itself

Indeed! The other day when I saw the Dev and the Publisher trashing each other in the Steam News section I just had to laugh and rdy the popcorn. What a shitshow, not exactly professional behavior.

I have no Idea which of these parties are in the right, sounds like the Dev is the victim but then again I just read that this is not the first time that Frogwares are in a dispute with a Publisher. Seems like they have made a habit of fighting their publishers Rolling Eyes

EDIT: Frogwares DMCA'ed it's own game on Steam Very Happy

It is available on sites like Gamesplanet as a DRM free download and through Origin as only Steam seems stuck with the Nacon bootleg version.

Usually i love lovecraftian games, but there is something about this game. I got to the hospital and just felt a fatigue come over me. I dunno if it's the open world or whatever but i just couldn't be arsed to play more.

It's probably because most missions have a similar design. To date, I don't think any game can match Stygian in terms of representation of Lovecraft's horror and themes. It's a shame the game isn't finished. Bloodborne does a pretty good job, but it's another beast entirely that morphs into a different kind of horror under the moonlight. Smile

For Bloodborne, don't expect japanese to follow western themes fully. But i'm gonna give this a new try today. Hopefully it clicks now.

Typical remaster. Can't decide if it's supposed to be a upgrade or a downgrade. Looks worse for the most part. Duller and less detailed. Probably the lightning. But realism does not triumph over artistic vision, sorry to say

It looks definitely worse. Where's the rain? Where is the lighting? In some cases they increased fog, then in other scenes there is no ambience clouds or anything anymore? I only watched the last video, but it looks like some of those stupid reshare mods where 14yo boys try to "improve" the game...
