Zeno Clash has landed some decent reviews since it launched, so those of you who held out on the downloadable release might consider picking up the $20 retail package.

I bought this game a while ago from the Steam indie pack. I'm not very far into it but so far it's been pretty damn good. The first person melee combat is done very well (thought I'm not very good at it) And every time I start to grow tired of a certain area or gameplay style they switch things up and surprise me. The story is pretty intriguing too.

I love it when DLC goes retail.
just like WipEout HD. but it was 'exclusively' available to one retailer over here!

They'd have to port the Source engine to the Wii first, which they won't.

I wonder how this game will fare in sales at retail? I feel like these sorts of "indie" games sell best digitally, Steam or otherwise. I've only played a bit of it on Steam, I have such a massive backlog to wade through.

Zeno Clash is one of my favorite indie games. The art style is fantastic and the gameplay is very solid. Only thing I didn't like was the length, but that's understandable as the developers are a small group with not a lot of resources.

Oh, and Tripwire is just the publisher. The developer is ACE Team, a group of around 8 guys who are located in Santiago, Chile.

Don't get mad at me because you have nothing better to do than troll the comment thread of a blog post about at Chilean PC game with shitty box art at 3am.

Maya animation. Breezing though the blogs during a short break.

I hope Maya doesn't have anything like a reply function, because other wise your animations are going to suck.

OK- I deserved that... I suppose that's what I get for bothering to respond to a troll at 3am. First time I've ever replied to a reply comment. Didn't realize the additional step required.

What's the point of this? The game requires steam activation and the retail disc is completely useless without it, so really you're just paying an extra $5 for the privilege of standing in line at Best Buy.

Lack of internet is the problem, these retail Steam games MUST be activated on Steam, otherwise they can't be played.
As far as slow internet, how slow can it possibly be? Even at 1kB/s, it would have downloaded hundreds of times over since it was released.

I'm tempted to say I'll need to spend $1500 to play this game just to spite some elitists, so I guess I'll just leave this here.
That aside, I think Zeno Clash is more interesting than anything. A decent first-person brawling system covered up by the fact that the world is just so damn weird you're compelled to play through. I haven't played the full game mind you, but I can see why it has such a cult following.

Haha, yeah I know. In the past week I said that I'd spend $1500 to completely upgrade my computer. I got an extremely negative response for some reason, everyone was quick to want to correct my wording.

If you re-read the thread you are the one who started being negative. Thatguy was just trying to lend a helping hand and stop you from spending more money than you had to. He said something along the lines of "are you new at this?" though he meant it in a helpful way, and you took it as offensive and a silly flamewar started. The major problem is that you can't hear the tone of someones voice over the internet.

Actually, I do understand that. Funny thing, he could've said "I wasn't being condescending, sorry you mistook that" instead of calling me a "prick". The major problem there was a few people, yourself included, served only as a propellant and didn't help the situation at all. Rationalize it all you want, but we were all wrong.
