Playdate: GBE Megadate (08/11/2017)

Wait so, whats the story behind the first game? The devs took a game, somehow made it worse, and then rereleased it under a different name?

Awwww yeah

Vinny, Abby, and Dan play three horror games and everyone (including both Vinny and Dan) was scared...

Nice damage control, Abby :P

Solid video description.

Awesome !!!

Why is this not Abby playing a Nancy Drew game?

ANSWER ME!

Ahhhh. How I've missed the purse

56 minute megadate more like minidate.

We all have the clap!

I thought it was Blue Bombing stream.

Could have gotten up @ 5Am for this

Did Alex narrate the second game?

Megadates>Blue bombin

I love seeing the weird "games" that people get away with selling on steam.

This is the content I need

The "click" bit is frankly annoying.

Aww snap!! More Bequest?!! Let's do this!

I really think a Spookin' with Abby feature would be great.

Nothing

They've ruined this beautiful game is what they did!

E!

More crappy horror! Haha, this is awesome!

I enjoyed this stream a lot, but it also kind of depressed me a little. Like, which is worse--the people who made these games thinking they're actually good enough to charge money for, or them knowing exactly what they've done and not caring?

One is pathetic, the other is just gross.

Ah well. Hope Alex feels better soon.

@danryckert Vinny was technically right when he said Silent Hill... Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (Wii remake of 1) removed the combat and it came out before Amnesia.

I love Abby, but yeah, the click bit needed to stop way earlier.

This was fun! Please find more bad scary games to play.

Wait, what makes this a megadate and not a playdate? I thought megadates were when they had guests.

@tikicobra: From historical patterns, a play date has just one game where a megadate has several games usually including a guest or a theme. There were a few other Megadates with no guests like an early one with Austin and the one where Abby is introduced to new experiences... and of course, ranch soda day.

Didn't enjoy this personally, couldn't laugh at bad horror games. Shame they didn't get around to No Man's Sky.

Is it just me... or does Abby's pitch-distorted voice sound like the zombies from Deadly Premonition.

That "click" thing was driving me crazy

Exactly!

Also, Vinny, Abby and Dan are THE best trio for "scary" games. Vinny for exploration and manipulation, Dan for scoffing and ridicule and Abby for pure reaction. Love it! :)

Someone needs to make a version of the Nintendo Switch reveal trailer with Abby saying "click" instead of that joy-con sound effect

Good stuff but it's a shame Alex wasn't feeling well, hope he gets better.

I mean...yes. That's the story.

They released an incomplete non-game, then did it again under a different name to try and double-dip.

Stealing THIS.

Thank you for your service.

Nothing

I knew this was gonna be good when Abby completely lost it at a door opening XD

also hope you feel better Alex!

GBE Coffee Date :)

The window of the last game titled "MyProject" before they switched it to fullscreen. Just... wow

The second game is way better than the other two. Also, I am not the developer.

@ybbaaabby click

I don't want to live in a world without Abby.

Abby getting scared from really stupid games is the best thing ever

Abby freaking out over the door opening is probably one of the reasons they keep making garbage games like this, so that easily scared folks will then do spooky streams of those. I hope they asked for a refund of all of those.

Bequest revisiting?! Starting with a showstopper.

@bisonhero: I totally agree!

Bequest for the next endurance run please.

Keeping a journal on graph paper? Hell yeah.

So apparently on steam Bequest is now a 99 cent DLC for "Last Answer". The original Bequest is I mean. So now to play the better version of that game, you have to buy that extra unfinished Last Answer garbage, then the DLC for a dollar for Bequest. Sounds like this was all a scam to get negative user reviews wiped or something... but this is just what I am reading I am not sure on this.

Also the steam page for the 99 Bequest dlc lists it as an "RPG first person" as well lol. Maybe that is a translation thing... because yes you do "play a role" but that is a meaningless definition because in about every game you "play a role." Obviously to call it an RPG implies something else lol which I don't think it is.

Real bummer cause I mean yeah the Bequest was total garbage but.... it was actually really really entertaining to watch. This Last Answer game is just extra super garbage.. It is like they released some prototype they made of Bequest from long before the release, and then made the real finished Bequest game a dollar dlc... lol. Like they had some old build they threw up there just to do this wiping the ratings thing on steam.

Seeing Kerbal Space Program in the steam download list at the beginning makes me very excited!

Yeah it was after a bit but for a while was ok to me.

That is really bad lol XD . That is like what you name stuff when you are learning to code.

I wonder if they started it as some project to learn how to make a game but didn't know how change the title of the project once they realized they may actually release it lol?

I mean it seems like something someone just learning to make a game would do. Import a bunch of objects into some engine. Make just one room to experiment in. Make the whole game some super simple to code objective like collect 10 pages. With everyone having the EXACT same crouch it seemed I almost wonder if they went and used some pre built character controller code or something but that could not be the case lol just speculating. I think that was unreal engine too and I never used that so just kinda speculating a bit.

Seriously though it just looks like "I am going to download a game engine and watch some tutorials and learn to make a game" project.
