Boring Movies

"Boring Movies" is a failed party game/quiz game where you guess the title of a movie based on a description that's intentionally boring. Who makes games that are intentionally boring? These guys I guess. It was a massive failure. What do you do in the game? Nothing, there's no players. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games. Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now. There's no excuse. On pricing and value for gamers, this isn't really free as you're expected to pay up $11 USD to unlock content/DLC, the game should not be considered completely unlocked until you empty your wallet for the developer. This is some nasty, predatory pricing and PC gamers don't like it. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 9 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off. [quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Response![/url][/quote]The developer has weighed in to inform everyone they didn't read the [url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Usage Rules[/url] for Steam "partners", or they deliberately ignored the part where Valve says: [quote]Though it may be tempting, not every review needs to be responded to. A developer response will frequently draw more attention than the original statement, potentially turning a small issue into a much larger community discussion. It's also not a good idea to use this feature to refute customer opinions. Your direct attention can be seen as validation or a defensive attempt to silence your customers.[/quote] So, this is apalling and, I guess nobody should be surprised about this, but the developer is here to advertise the DLC that you have to buy before you can use this failed and dead game. The developer whines that because you have to buy an eye watering $10 worth of crap DLC before you own everything in this game, it's complete without owning the crap cosmetics. But obviously it isn't because that stuff exists. And forcing people to pay even more money just to host... that's cancer. What a toxic, predatory and misleading attitude to push a game as if it's free... and the developer insults every single gamer by pretending this misleading dishonesty is okay. [b]And then tries to market this cancer.[/b] You can see their presence on Steam has nothing to do with gamers and everything to do with being a marketing exercise. When arrogant developers put themselves before gamers and before the gaming industry, misleading gamers for profit, this is the kind of disservice to gamers that we see. No wonder this was a complete and utter failure. Turns out gamers don't like toxic devs with toxic monetisation schemes. Nothing in the developers pointless breach of Valve guidelines changes any of the objective facts of my review. My review stands unaltered. I cannot recommend this failed, dead, and misleadingly marketed product to anyone.

Игра "Boring Movies" – это именно то, чем она кажется: симулятор просмотра ужасно скучных фильмов. Идея интересная в своей абсурдности, и в первые минуты реально смешно кликать, наблюдая за индикатором скуки. Звуки храпа и закатывающихся глаз добавляют атмосферы. Однако, геймплей быстро становится монотонным. Просто кликаешь, ждешь, и... все. Никаких особых механик для борьбы со скукой, никаких неожиданных событий, ничего, кроме неумолимого процесса просмотра этого виртуального киношлака. Графика нарочито примитивная, что вполне соответствует концепции, но анимации почти нет, и фильмы, которые нам "показывают", ограничиваются статичными изображениями и короткими, повторяющимися звуками. В итоге, "Boring Movies" - это скорее юмористический скетч, чем полноценная игра. Весело один раз запустить, посмеяться над абсурдом, но возвращаться к этому опыту вряд ли захочется. Разработчикам стоило бы добавить больше интерактивности, каких-то мини-игр, связанных с попытками не заснуть, чтобы поддержать интерес на более длительный срок. Сейчас же это просто кликер ради кликера, хоть и с оригинальной задумкой.

Doesn't work with full team. Can't even get a single round to work.

Idt this game would be fun under the influence

really interesting concept but poorly executed to the point where the game is practically unplayable.
