The King of Jank

Zoom Platform has had one available for months.

He said the offline installer is available now. Anyways this game looks different.

Not the graphics, obviously...

Having watched the trailer, I'd imagine Protagonist crying "Shovel that", like a lot.

Juts get it and Bob's your uncle.

I've never been to Mexico, and it looked exactly like in that trailer video!

WOW!
Is this Unreal Engine 5.3 at work?

Sad that there are alot of smooth brain people in this post that care more about graphics than gameplay.

At least they were able to state their opinion without insulting others.

Anyway, why exactly should gameplay excuse crappy graphics, when we can choose games where both are great? Games are a visual medium. Tastes may differ, but graphics/art style always matter.

On gog galaxy?
Because mine is still 12.6 without the B in offline installers.

While insulting the developer's product without having actually tried it? Being critical is good, but without experiencing the title for yourself, its a moot point and about as useful as an asshole on an elbow. And no, graphics don't matter. Gameplay does. Game could be the most realistic and amazing looking game ever made, but if it plays like shit, then, what's the point if it looks good?

Gameplay is central to a games success. Not graphics. That is basic common sense since the gaming industry began.

Product is not a person. I am not much concerned about "insulting a product".

That's like saying that visuals don't matter in a movie. It's all visual storytelling. Of course the visuals matter.

Why should I choose between the two? There's a ton of games with great graphics and gameplay.

Nonsense. A lot of games achieved great success because of their graphics, despite lackluster gameplay, something like Crysis being a good example (not a good game though). Of course, the reverse also happens. And neither result is really much good.

One doesn't preclude the other. :)

The only reason for the way it looks is the developer's choice to use an outdated, limited, and officially unsupported engine and programming language, DarkBasic Pro, to write code for it.

It must be a nightmare having to write the same lines of code and assign the same values to the same variables across several files a thousand times, instead of being able to use classes, variables, constants, functions, ternaries, arrays, vectors, etc., and perform operations with only a couple of lines of code. I don't even want to imagine how difficult it must be to debug such a project...

He would really do himself a huge favor by switching to a modern engine and rewriting the code from scratch in a well-supported language like C++, C#, or Python to make his game shine as it could if he did.
