Maybe the meteor is the friends we made along the way while shitposting.

Same, I'm cool with Olivia being the only option, but I like my VN with divergent paths and the more divergent the better.

GVH team couldn't show the balls to write about how the evil Count Meteor was secretly inside the scepter of Cavemanon Lee Walsh.

This just reminded me of how the Dinosaurs Tv Show ended. How in the fuck did an animatronic sitcom for young kids and families manage to have the balls to ACTUALLY kill everyone off at the end, but this game meant for adults didn't?
People didn't expect the writers of this show to actually tackle the death of the dinosaurs directly, but they did and even gave it an extra layer of depth by making the meteor a metaphor for human greed and its effects on the planet. It wasn't even a quick, world-explodes type ending, it was the slow, gradual nuclear winter that slowly kills the protagonists one by one as they freeze to death. It's darker once you think of the gradual deterioration of the family's dynamic once they started dying off slowly.

I found this comment while looking through any recent comments on that video to see if anyone tried to bring any GVH parallels.

He certainly missed the fact that nobody dies to it in GVH unlike the Dinosuars TV show.

You are certainly missing the fact that no GVH fan has the slightest fold on their brain unlike those of the Dinosaur TV show.

I want someone to make a tier list with every piece of fiction starring dinosaurs, just to see where GVH stands.
IMO, it would be on par with Dingo's dinosaurs and that shitty pixar movie.

But here's the thing. It's been about a week since GBVH has come out, and really what has this piece of media changed in the world? No huge swarm of fans like Tobyfox got for Undertale, no one is saying it's so bad it's good like The Room. All in all this game which got hundred of thousands of dollars in tax revenue just ended up being a wet fart in the wind. Quickly forgotten, and lost to time.

Yeah, no kidding, just look at the number of Steam reviews

For the sake of comparison, let's compare it to a much smaller game.

Yeah, i get it, Pizza Tower is a platformer while GVH is glorified VN (also it was released back in January), but still, Pizza Tower is based on the Wario Land Series, pretty much a dead IP a this point, not to mention that most Wario Land fans are on the Switch, not on PC. It's really something that Pizza Tower did so well while GVH had a such poor reception, specially since most buyers are Snoot Game fans who wanted to play it ironically.

Maybe GVH is doing better on the PS5, but i doubt it. Seriously seeing this shit i can't help but wonder, ¿Where's this game's audience? ¿Where are the women and minorities who consume this kind of woke media?

not really a fair comparison. its like comparing mario to life is strange. in fact, life is strange would be the better comparison for this and even then still ends up being the better game than GVH because all things considered, it's still more of a game than whatever this is

The Steam Revenue Calculator (https://steam-revenue-calculator.com/) seems to think that there's one review for every 45 sales. Assuming they're right, that works out to be a smidge over 20,000 Steam sales, which tracks with what Steam Spy says (https://steamspy.com/app/1310330, recently ticked over into "20,000 to 50,000").

There is no way that this thing possibly makes a profit.

I personally found out he's the one whose autistically erasing every positive mention of Snoot game on tvtropes. Another anon confirmed this too on their forums that he was openly complaining about snoot existing.

He's also the editor of the games Wiki, given a special thanks credit on the game, and is the editor of the Tamagachi Wiki.


Here's their picture.

I'm sorry if I'm late to adding anything, I'm having more fun watching people cope that snoot game is winning over this.

Their intended audience don't buy "queer" video games, they just moan about lack of representation online.
As both a woman and a bisexual who loves visual novels, GBVH has nothing that attracts me. The story is vapid and shallow, the characters are vapid and shallow, the art and design choices don't appeal to me even if I admit to liking anthro characters and the "gameplay" is vapid and shallow.
I can find much better stories for fewer dollars in poorly translated Japanese VNs, I can get much better gameplay that actually matters in other games, I can get choices that matter and splitting timelines in other games etc. etc.

GBVH has nothing of value that cannot be gotten elsewhere for less money or for a better dollar to video game length ratio. Some JP VNs are 30-40 hour experiences at a normal reading speed and they don't have the audacity to cost $30/5hs. One of the most beloved VNs, Steins Gate, costs between 26-59.99(for the Elite version, which is a remake kinda, that includes a second game and is basically the anime as a game with full animation and more story than the original) and takes around 40 hours to finish, has great writing and interesting characters with a ton of branching storylines.

At the very least, Life is Strange dared to pull the catastrophic ending where an entire town gets wiped off the map if you choose to fuck with the timeline. Yes, Life is Strange has a ton of story issues worthy of laughing at but LiS *entertaining* when you play it to riff on it. Hell, even Life is Strange 2 has entertainment value. I highly recommend both titles if you want to get drunk and laugh at it with some mates in a voice call. Plus you can rewind and watch Chloe shoot herself ad infinity.

I can't recommend Tell Me Why in the same way, even if the main character is a pooner, because it's somehow dumber than LiS and there's not a true branching narrative. I won't even speak on Life is Strange True Colours or whatever it's called, the one with the chink protag whose superpower is empathy (really) because I haven't experienced it for myself.

Does anyone think GVH will get any support post-lauch?, stuff like DLC?

Because i think that after working on this thing for 5 years and getting such a lukewarm reception (to put it mildly) i think KO_OP will most likely let the IP die and pretend it never existed.

Odds are 50/50. on one hand, they probably would in some attempt to ignore the evil choods and prove themselves right, but on the other hand, a parody game not only stole it's thunder way before it launched, but is now getting a spirtual sequal and possible franchise that amyone at KO_OP wishes they could have gotten had Snoot Game not exist and they released GVH as it was intended to be.

I would be utterly floored if KO_OP did anything more with this game beyond just tweeting out a milestone or two, or retweeting a glowingly positive review from an outlet. I doubt we'll see any patches for technical issues, let alone any kind of DLC route/chapters exploring more interactions with characters. My money is on them starting another egregiously long development cycle on another game focused diversity and representation and all that, so they can attempt to collect more government funding, maybe some Sony cash.

Hahahaha, fuck no!

It took them 5 years to shit out what you see. Usually DLC is supposed to be low effort stuff that you can make fast because you now have all the dev tools and libraries in play. But these fucks clearly don't have anything of the sort, or at least nothing you can rely on.

GVH is featured in Steam's "Save and Sound: Celebrating Music in Games" sale/event, appearing in the lineup today (at 1PM PDT). Will we get an appearance by the devs/musician behind the soundtrack? I don't know. I tuned in and the live broadcast put me on ugly tranny named fingerspit in a dark room playing a discordant guitar in honor of their game The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood. So if that's your jam, check it out, I guess.

(Oh Christ, I think I just found the most globohomo/Corporate Memphis game I've ever seen: Saltsea Chronicles.)
