Subverse is one of the most successful Kickstarter campaigns in gaming. This is the top Steam. This is a hooligan project, which was carried out by a studio that previously made only videos for adults. Let’s see how justified the hype around such a debut in the interactive entertainment industry is.

Notes of awkwardness and embarrassment in the voice, covered by cheerful intonation and jokes..
I can imagine how Anton and Gleb screamed when they voiced the preview. đ
P.S. The preview included âExpense for everyoneâ from Gleb and âUuuu with… ka!» from Anton.
The review for the full version requires âShut your mouth with my nippleâ from Kungurov and âYes… yes… lie on a manâ from Malt.
This issue of the refund came out simply wonderful.
The review turned out to be a cool co-op. Not the standard: âKat, hereâs your section. Read, while I go get some coffee,â namely, a cooperative with jokes and exchanges of remarks. I even remembered Igrozor a little. (Gleeeeeb?)
And the game itself, as expected, is another mediocre craft that uses exploitation and graphics.
As a baker, I haven’t seen a single unfounded argument here.
Regarding the gameplay, they actually said the same thing as you. Cosmo fights are good. It’s true.
But about the history:
Most people, when playing such a game, will skip all the dialogues.
I’ll surprise you, but even when playing regular games, most people skip all the dialogues. But this is not a reason to feed fans (who spend time paying attention to them) with shouts in the spirit
between streams of exposition unfiltered and not integrated into natural dialogues.
And early access is a weak excuse. For example, right now, also in early access on Steam, another VN porn is being sold, with a wonderful picture – Seeds of Chaos. I’m ready to safely admit that I read the dialogue diagonally, constantly choosing the most disgusting solutions that will lead to the most interesting scenes. But every time I paid even a little attention to them, they were damn catchy… I could have missed all the circumstances that led the characters to point X, but I perfectly understood the opinions and motives of everyone and how these motives could hinder/help me
gg has already gone through the standard path of a hero who saved the world from the king of demons and now lives happily in a godforsaken village with his wife. And then she is kidnapped by a couple of the heirs of that king and blackmailed, they force her to take a (magical) oath of allegiance to them. Because who the hell will be less suspected of espionage when they begin the conquest?
And yes – the whole game is dedicated to working for them and making decisions about how low they can fall.
Of course, you can nobly refuse almost every piquant scene, except those with your missus, but who will do it in such a game?? However, the developers give you a choice so that later, with a clear conscience, you can remember all his stupid decisions. And damn, itâs so deliciously written that by the end, I was already choosing the stupidest decisions, just to see how it would come back to haunt him?». And the screenwriter who came up with possible answers to his wifeâs question âdid you sleep with [your assistant]?"add "Yes. You can fuck her too" deserves an award.
But Subverse is still having a hard time with this.
In fact, now the main thing that sells the game is space battles, sex gifs and promises âin the next update, we will release personal quests for partners and everything will be better there, both with dialogues and scenesâ (in the attached picture)
And IMHO, it would be better if they were released into early access, a little later, but immediately with quests, because so far itâs very weak
It’s clear that they did everything they promised. And they clearly tried and did it with soul. But apparently they spent too much time building those. parts and too little to think through the overall structure of the game.
And based on this release, it seems that the first pancake came out lumpy.
Of course, I hope that they will really get it right for release, but itâs hard for me to imagine how they will remake an already finished script and re-record all the lines. I have much more hope for the conditional Subverse 2, if they gain experience trying their best to fix the structure and script of the first one, before leaving EA. Then you can really wait for the goodness
Why is this a game then, and https://casinowg.uk/games/ not a collection of videos on a relevant topic (or a genre more familiar to the authors)? Like they called themselves a game, make gameplay.
That is, okay, yes, in theory it was possible to create some interesting plot, drama and characters, but something tells me that most people, when playing such a game, will skip all the dialogues.
Firstly, the authors of the game themselves promised a porn version of Mass Effect. Secondly, Acting lessons, Being a DIK, City of the broken dreamers is a clear example of the fact that you can create an interesting plot, drama, characters and at the same time players will not skip dialogues, as evidenced by reviews.
Regarding the strawberry, it is obvious that the camera cannot be turned because the director has his own vision of the scene
How will the scene itself and its content change if the player changes his perspective?? And if you compare with Detroit, Iâll give you the example of GTAV, where during a private dance in a strip club and the services of a prostitute you can change the camera angle. Does this make the scene worse?? No, you’re seeing the same thing, just from a different angle. Visual novels also have something similar – Girl house (you can move the camera slightly, but the angle is generally the same), Away from home (you can choose first and third person view).
And what kind of gameplay do you want during sex scenes??
So not during, but between. Like, the task of the gameplay here is to do everything so that you get from one video to another and donât turn off the game with âwhy didnât I just download a separate collection?».
To be honest, for me personally, voice actors pull everything out. They are interesting to listen to and they play the material they are given very well. As for the characters, a patch has been released that adds Devotion dialogue that opens and allows you to reveal the characters a little more than what is in the main plot. For me personally, the game has already earned its 500 rubles and I canât wait for the further development of the project and I want to hear again what the voice actors can present, after all, in my opinion they are not doing hack work and are trying
In fact, previously people were banned for halos creeping into the frame. I know one very good blogger, if you know what I mean ( ÍĄ~ ÍÊ ÍĄÂ°), who suffered from this.
personally, it captivates me with its absurdity, no, rather, its stupidity and directness
A matter of taste (and mood). I’m so categorical because it didn’t work for me
Seeds of Chaos works in a slightly different direction
In the initial stages, the developers showed a very local story, with almost no exposition, where the conquest of one fortress is the goal of the entire early version. And the updates came out at most once a year, they were good enough to maintain attention and hype for the game (the developers’ patreon is now $12.5k per month)
And only when the developers developed the plot to the capture of the capital and political intrigues, they began to interestingly play with some of Chekhovâs guns associated with the origin of the city (spoiler – a simple peasant, with zero magical powers and significant ancestors) and give exposition according to the principle âthis is the minimum, without which you will not know what to do. You can jump straight into the execution of the plan, or you can chat with all the characters to understand their motives and which scenes are more interesting for you to get.â.
If you want my measure of humor, then look at Sunstone. The jokes there are also simple, but tasteful (if anything, the last picture is a flashback)
P.S. And in terms of story presentation, Subverse is 80% also a visual novel (=comic book)
You should at least read what is planned in the first patch. The guys had never made a game in their lives and managed to roll out everything without any bugs at all, with minimal optimization problems, and with quite normal combat. CDPR couldn’t do this in 8 years. Yes, they were very right about the pacing – indeed, there is too much lore that is not the most interesting, but, by the way, the humor is very good there. Dropped on âI tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesnât even matterâ. The girls have really different abilities, which really make a difference in combat. Of course, this is not enough for a full game, but it is more than enough for Early Access. First of all, they showed them that they _can_ do what they had in mind and created a base on which they would build up content. And that’s cool.
But the soundtrack seems good, you can throw it into the playlist to play in the background.
P.P.S.Adding media to comments is an ass.
But I will continue my comment
If yes then that will be great
As for me, it is much more important that the developers showed a fully working skeleton of the game, now all that remains is to stretch the skin over this skeleton and fix the long loading times
The latest statement from the developers says something like this, but IMHO, the trailers gave the impression that there would be more content and I was disappointed by the bloated introduction and how many parts were âunavailableâ
In general, we’ll see. If the developers fill out and polish the game, then I won’t complain. Good porn games, I’m always happy.
For now, Iâm just sharing my impressions and opinion about the original âthe review contains unfounded arguments and hateâ comments
P.P.P.S. a little more Sunstone, as a positive booster
But there is gameplay and it’s not that bad.
P. S. Kinetic visual novels are also games. What can you say about the gameplay??
It seems to me that Pauli doesnât understand a little that the subverse (like almost any porn game) is first and foremost PORN, and only then a game.
I will be grateful if you send me the source
Yes, I was confused, but, in fairness, the developers did not deny such a comparison.
Yes, but it seems to me that a heavy and dramatic plot is not suitable for such games.
And no one demands a plot on the level of âSaving Private Ryan,â which is not what the plot in the above games is, and it simply wonât work in such works.
it’s just additional work with composition and lighting
It just looks shoddy – they have such a budget, hand-created characters, and not ready-made models from the public domain, but they donât allow you to look at them from different angles.
P.P.P.P.S. And âif yes, then it will be greatâ was in response to
Well, thatâs why they released the game into early access, to collect feedback, so perhaps the dialogues will become better in the future, without unnecessary water
Hey, StopGame, users asked for a redesign of the site, but not a replacement of comments with this buggy stub (just today a couple of times, when inserting a second quote, the first one simply disappeared)
And they are full-length? They are half an hour long, where 25 minutes is a sex scene.
I’ll surprise you, but even when playing regular games, most people skip all the dialogues. But this is not a reason to feed fans (who spend time paying attention to them) with shouts in the spirit
between streams of exposition unfiltered and not integrated into natural dialogues.
Perhaps I donât particularly like satire in general, so a setting based on bashing everything and everyone with breaking the fourth wall doesnât suit me. Based on this, I canât judge how well they did their job in this regard. However, as for me, this is a fairly well-developed network and personally, it captivates me with its absurdity, no, rather, its stupidity and directness, which makes me immerse myself in this preoccupied world.
Seeds of Chaos, on the other hand, works in a slightly different direction, and for the sake of fun it forces you to be a creature, and plus itâs generally a novella, and novellas are more like a comic than a game, which does not imply âunfiltered exposition not integrated into natural dialogues,â but about
but itâs hard for me to imagine how they will remake an already finished script and re-record all the lines.
Well, thatâs why they released the game into early access, to collect feedback, so perhaps the dialogues will become better in the future, without unnecessary water.
And again, you say this as if the plot is important for âsuchâ a game, that is, I certainly agree with you that this is not a reason to piss in the playersâ ears, and a good trashy plot obviously wonât make it any worse, but this is not such a fatal thing, for me it is much more important that the developers showed a fully working skeleton of the game, now all that remains is to stretch the skin over this skeleton and fix the long loading times
There is an hour and a half where there is even a âplotâ (somehow connecting the scenes yes)
