When was the last time you played a game, any game really, where you walked into someone's home, nonchalantly opened drawers, cabinets, picked locks, upturned a bed and talked to the freaking homeowner in hopes of finding something you could loot? Oh, right before this game? Yeah I thought so. Aside from more humble games like Skyrim, where you had to steal items instead of taking them, every game that has item management lets you play the bad guy without being the bad guy.
Let me tell you something: NPCs hate your guts, they just can't say it to your face! Just cleared a forest of roving bandits? Well they were the only ones keeping a population of meerkats in check. The local farms can't keep them at bay and you've just triggered the worst national food shortage in the past decade. Good job, hero! I think it's time for some payback.
You Are Not The Hero is a 2D Action Platform RPG that ditches the battle system to focus on richer RPG gameplay elements. Instead of playing a traditional hero that saves the world, you're playing a bystander swept into the affairs of heroes and villains alike.
You play as Petula, an unemployed, emotionally charged, ill-tempered, otherwise average young woman. With the royal army hot on their heels, the heroes have made their way to your village where they begin scavenging for supplies in everyone's homes. After you confront them for stealing your pendant, they rush off to continue their quest, giving you a quest of your own to retrieve it.
I was really looking forward to this, but god fucking damn it... another "early access" title that will languish there for a year. Early Access is rapidly starting to piss me off, it's just a cheap get-out-of-work free card for lazy developers who want to make money off something without it being finished. They already took $100k from Kickstarter (for an RM title no less) and now it's months in EA .. and, like every other EA title, if it doesn't make the money during EA, there is ever likelihood the devs will just give up on it.
This is what happens to me when I see an EA game that I like
1) Oh an interesting game
2) But wait.. it's early access!
3) I'm gonna wait until the final release is out and then play it.
4) Time goes on and I lose hype for the game
5) XX months/years later game releases - I have no interest in playing it and it goes into the ever growing backlog
yeah - but i honestly dont really care about stuff in EA while they are in EA
This one i liked since kickstarter but forgot to make a thread for it.
I just ignore that the EA exists and i start to care when they announce full launch date. In the end i enjoy those games or not if they turn out to be crap
