Topware CEO(Dirk P. Hassinger) loses it in steam forums, starts threatening to sue for defamation some random steam user. Didn't read the whole thread but this pretty funny.

End result:

The gaming sites will receive copies when the game is ready. And when the game is ready it will be released. I am in the gaming industry since 35 years and I do not need advice.

Once again - what you do is a crime. You defame us and you defame our products - and even worse - you defame our customers. This harms our business - and if you do not stop this, I will make you liable.

I do not know, if you are a kid and do not know what you are doing or whatever makes you believe your behavior is acceptable. What you do is far away from posting your opinion about something.

Probably you should read this definition (from Wikipedia):

Defamation—also calumny, vilification, and traducement—is the communication of a false statement that harms the reputation of an individual person, business, product, group, government, religion, or nation. Most jurisdictions allow legal action to deter various kinds of defamation and retaliate against groundless criticism. It is usually regarded as irrational unprovoked criticism which has little or no factual basis and can be compared to hate speech, which can also be taken to encompass discrimination against a particular organisation, individual, nation, corporation or other political, social, cultural or commercial entity which has often but not always been entrenched in the practitioner by old prejudices and xenophobia.

Under common law, to constitute defamation, a claim must generally be false and have been made to someone other than the person defamed.[1] Some common law jurisdictions also distinguish between spoken defamation, called slander, and defamation in other media such as printed words or images, called libel.[2]

False light laws protect against statements which are not technically false but misleading.[3]

In some civil law jurisdictions, defamation is treated as a crime rather than a civil wrong.[4] The United Nations Commission on Human Rights ruled in 2012 that the criminalization of libel violates freedom of expression and is inconsistent with Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.[5]


I hope you understand now what I mean.

I can already tell this is not going to be very good.

Typos abound, disconnected cutscenes that teleport you around, completely random start of the game with no actual info regarding what preceded it, wonky as fuck clickfest combat, missing VA, absolutely b0rked sounds... and that's only like an hour in, ffs. The 'prologue' already shows you everything you need to know about this game's development process.

Is this in the DB? Or by data retrieval? Or javascript?

Can you give some detail about the combat system? How many foes can attack you at once, parrying mechanics, special abilities + skills, deadliness etc.?

im not her to be your "clown" if you don't likre my opinion on da:i or ubisoft thats ok. but is this really the way you wanna handle it?

 

[Angthoron]

Wow, how did I miss this thread?

Oh right, the game looked awfully lackluster even compared to regular shovelware by the guys that brought us the snoozefest simulator.

To bros playing it, do they have the same protagonist VA that tries to outman Geralt's original actor again?

Bah, that's not as hilariously all over the place as 2W2 was, and the actor hasn't had nearly enough cigars.

Well I just complimented the voice acting in my previous post, surely that will have them spare me.

Dude, you need to relax a bit. Nothing wrong with you liking these games and companies. But everytime I read your replies in this thread I'm reminded of this Cop, the one with the glasses:

Breathe deep, take it easy and welcome to the internet. Don't take yourself and this website too seriously.

 

[Angthoron]

Okay, this is making me want to play it.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Yeah, alas

This protag here just sounds like Steve Blum.

Well judging by the few fights I've had thus far, the combat system is about clicking your enemy to death with LMB if he doesn't parry, and doing hit-n-run whacks with E if he does parry.

There's a parry tied to your rmb, but the combat overall is just so horrendously clunky it doesn't work very well.

idk about special abilities didnt get any yet.

Deadliness is a funny thing - some dudes can kill you quickly, but you have 2 countermeasures

a) Clicking them to death with lmb before they react

b) Sheathing your weapon and kiting them to hell once you are too wounded in order to wait for your health to regen (and it regens fast).


Also, I just love how obviously unfinished this game is. This starting island, St Lucia, is of moderate size. It has 2 patches of land with buildings on both banks of a river + some wilderness areas. But there's NOTHING of interest here except for one building (a tavern). The wilderness is C O M P L E T E L Y empty and it makes you laugh just to think how much time must have been wasted to create it. Same with the town, it's full of buildings that look characteristic, but they are all decorative. I even found a house I could enter and it was also empty. Hory shit.








The music is cool tho. And Morgan Freeman is your best bro

 

[Perkel]

Okay, this is making me want to play it.

same here

 

[Snorkack]

Spoiler

O my god this is hilarious! I need to see that shit with my own eyes some day.
I guess I'll... PIRATE IT!!!!!

im relaxed i don't know why you are thinking im not. im not angry or anything like that. but for example the the video you posted the guy with the glasses. i don't know in wich world this isn't an insult. it's simple as that. because it's the internet doesn't make it ok in som magic way. maybe you should take a breath? and think about it?

 

[subotaiy]

Okay, this is making me want to play it.

That pissing animation reminds me of Gothic. I must resist this, surely will be disappointed.

 

[Darth Roxor]

bros you dont want to play this

i'll try a few more hours just to make sure since i already made the effort of dloading it, but you really shouldn't consider biting the bullet as well

technically speaking the game is playable, but from the looks of it I'd say that only about 25% of its actual content is really complete

True that, we all know that when Germans get angry, they start breaking their keyboards and upload the videos of that on the net. You're very zen compared to that, man. But just a thought, maybe check what forum you're on? It seems you've confused us with some kind of a mean-spirited forum with a rather volatile reputation, the kind most AAA devs try to avoid, where people get mean-spirited tags above their names and so forth. Don't take things so personally, man, we ain't like that.

But how does this compare to Risen 3 and Arcania 4: Gothic 9?

Thanks for the review. Do you think it is even possible for them to fix it with patches?
