Best game of year or sumthang. Jess look at the great dev team. Don't belive what those childrens or sumthang say about this game, they don't know real games from bad games. It is ment for real good players like me and 23+ players. Its not just that tho, it's perfect visuals. Jess vote like us veterans, 10/10.

I want to believe what they're saying about not having enough time in 2 years to make it perfect, but then I remember that Facepunch made something far better in a week. http://www.moddb.com/mods/1week

Oh man, the comments where the level designer tries to pass as a customer, I'm laughing so hard it hurts.

I honestly think that this game is sort of a trolling effort.

Expensive effort though.

It might not be that expensive considering if people continue to buy the 4 pack to laugh at the game, It must of not been much to make this, if people continue to buy 4 packs I could imagine them making a profit

[0mighty_K]

The reason why I bought it is how well did they implemented in the source engine. What I expect was a copy-n-paste over L4D content and has awful animations, voice-over and lazy AI difficulty. The map is purely outrageous when your teammates cannot see you far away, plus there was an area where the whole quarter of the map size is cliffs that has no purpose what so ever.
At some point I'll have to 'finish' the whole game to see the overall content. It's bad enough to even be a paid game when it looks like those free mods you download.

[revan740]

I feel slightly bad for the developers. It may be possible that Valve felt sympathetic and let them release the game (on steam of all places) to get them started on their dream. Everything Valve does just makes me love them more.

I just bought the game yesterday and have been playing it pretty much all night. I love it. Its a lot of game for the money. The attention to detail in terms of the Mayan environment is top notch. Coop is going to be a lot of fun as was suggested in this review. I gave it an 8 out of 10 for the fun factor as well as the awesome landscape. You won’t go wrong for the money. Do not listen to Arvuti as he is has been trolling the game for awhile now, I don't know what his problem is

I like how he called Arvuti out for some reason.

[Ownederd]

i honestly hope they learn some hard lessons with their first released project and then make their second one much better

[Chaohord]

the devs are just digging their own graves here

I wouldn't play any more of their games even if they do improve at this rate

I've done my own large share of developing and I have to tell ya folks........thats not all brush art. Some of it is actually photo realistic and brush art. I guess now the question is......of whom? Note freckles around the upper....umm areas, and well ........bikini area.

Look anything like this? Shes one of the developers and sports a tattoo in the same area. Darkartz animator according to their site. They should update their ratings blurb though so it includes nudity. Ratings people will be all over them otherwise. In fact, I wasnt aware you could sell a game in the United States without a ESRB rating applied but you probably can. Interesting.

how many custom .wav files are in the game that aren't the default Source ones?

Played some more tonight. This game can get pissingly hard at times, especially when your ping won't cooperate. Have some more screenshots.

I'm not entirely sure what this is, other then we could walk on it and it made glass noises.


This skybox texture looks like something out of Doom


The intro camera screwed up for me so I instead got a view of what was going on at spawn.

[Zips]

So, I just subjected myself to this game, just to get a feel on whether or not I actually wanted to 'review' this in an upcoming video. On one hand, the game is a pile of garbage and everyone involved in it should feel ashamed. Thus, I would not want to subject even a video upon anybody.

On the other hand, my eyes and ears are both bleeding so profusely that I can't help but feel some obligation to warn people to stay away from this game, less they fall to the same fate.

I mean, COME ON! What the hell is this crap?!

Played through the first level with a friend until the game crashed.

It actually is fun with friends, it has a silly charm. Main issue is animations, and map design. There are huge open areas for no reason.

I recorded it all and it was pretty fun. Will be editing it up and posting it soon.

Edited:

at 8 seconds in "Uhhh Fuck me in the ass!"..... wat.

[red pan]

I've read the thread and seen every screen shot but I still have no fucking idea whats going on in them.

[MoarToast]

I don't think this game would be considered nearly as awful as it is right now if the developers weren't horribly insecure about their game being terrible. They're pulling shit that even a 13 year old on Youtube would find childish to try to justify this piece of crap.

Hell, at least the developers of Big Rigs didn't pretend like they got a lot of good reception "besides the haters and trolls". I'm pretty sure they probably knew that their game was crap but shipped it anyways. For god's sake, the developers of Superman 64 knew their game was terrible, and they were even going to fix it with a rerelease on PSX before they ended up losing the license for the Superman franchise.

I can't wait to see how Dark Artzzzzzzzz bows out of this, because they are certainly not here to stay. I hope it's with a long, overdramatic post on a message board with poor grammar strewn throughout.

TotalBiscuit.

He is a game review, preview, commentary, community monolith.

http://www.youtube.com/user/TotalHalibut He's posted bad reviews of indie games and the studios go out of business, he has immense influence over small titles.

He does no reviews of games, and as they told you, they're first impressions, which is not the same thing as a review.

First impressions are just his own personal thoughts on a game on the first few minutes/hours of it, a subjective opinion summing it up.

Reviews on the other hand, consider the entirety of the game, from beginning to end, in an objective way and in no way influenced by the author of it. Or atleast, that's some close brief explanation that should be the theory, and sadly not the reality in most major examples.

He's essentually a videogame critic in that part of his content, and claiming he's done bad reviews of indie games and therefore they've gone out of business is a little bit too fucking sensationalist bro. Even following your review thing, I can barely think of 2 or 3 titles he's done 'reviews' as you call them that he's actually really disliked. And it's really just because they're broken games or they can't even do what they're supposed to do right. In which case they deserve the bad 'review'.

And I've never heard of any indie developers being thrown out of business because of TB, quite the opposite, he's massively boosted sales on indie titles in an incredible scale, he's saved more indie games than doomed them, insanely more. He's free marketing for indie devs, and they actually beg him to be featured on his WTF is series.

That's the purpose of his WTF is show, to boost sales of indie games and help them. Games that are unfinished or they don't do their job right shouldn't be given the good seal, on the contrary, it helps them perfect what they've done wrong so they don't fall again on the same mistakes. Not everyone has a place on the market and there's a reason why it's a competitive business.

That's one of the various good things he's done for the videogaming community, and that's not the only place where he's helped too.

People should atleast be respectful, even if you dislike something.

The beta user interface looks better, yes it is even more of a rip off of a L4D2 GUI but at the same time fuck it, if it's going to rip off the menu it might as well rip off the GUI.

Many of you have posted strong opinions regarding Revelations 2012. Dark Artz Entertainment would like to act on this sea of criticism concerning improvements that need to be made on our game. However, our manpower is somewhat limited in this aspect so any changes we do make are going to take some time and effort.

What we want to know is this.....would any of you like to be a part of this effort? If you have a genuine interest in helping an indie development team we would like to hear from you. You can PM Tiger_lily or you can send an email to mailbox@darkartzentertainment.com

Serious respondants only please. Again, thank-you to everyone who has already provided feedback.

In their features, it says "Old world Mayan city setting." Shouldn't that be "new world"? Old world is Europe.
