RS And the REVIEW thread

PC gamer must be on the metacritic list - making 3 of 4 required?

Would give 84 in score if the fourth averages out and 86 from user reviews.

That is above crtical numbers for casual browser just looking for something to buy on steam.

I cant wait to see metacritic scores added to steam :).

Destructoid - perhaps a touch disappointing to get a 7.5...

http://www.destructoid.com/review-rising-storm-255151.phtml 7.5/10 [Metacritic]

..Deploying weapons can also get pretty dicey while prone, as the game tends to constantly block the view of your gun depending on your location..
What does he mean here? Deploying his mg and then ducking perhaps..?

A 7.5 is pretty low considering RS's price for which you get great gameplay overall.
Did the few map clips and hitreg problems he encountered drag it down to that score?

Ah well. Onto the next.

It was. Way for the outlier to screw up a score. But is should average out to 84-87 I reckon once more reviews get in (if they follow the general review trend given in this thread).

But still, the rating beats RO1s acclaim. Congratulations on the new TWI metacritic high score!

When i look at steam community screenshots i see quit a few of them typed with tittles and comments typed in Japaneses fonts :)

Baseball, not football. Games, not war.

Pornography and RS share more than the same demographic as major consumers. They share the same delivery system (PC games in Japan are almost exclusively erotic in nature).

Japan is as we know oddly suited to cult-followings of non-mainstream things, but there are barriers.

If I were to market there, I would underline safety implicit to anti-cheating and whitelisting (servers cannot fill your work machine with viral content due to steam and other distributive safeguards), aim at the fringe (defined by people who might physically visit PC game selling stores), and underline a chance to practice English in a well functioning and modern VOIP system (which many japanese in the target group are actually interested in).

Though frankly I think key to the Japanese (and Korean) market goes through battles on the mainland. Or through China.
