ORION: Dino Beatdown

[Dankk]

If you were curious about this game at all, save your money. The developers are scum and they apparently treat their employees like shit. Just another friendly reminder to never support dick software devs.

Edit: It's also buggy as hell.

I was about to buy it on sale, good thing I checked here first.

I looked at the screenshots on Steam...and for a game called "ORION: Dino Beatdown", there was a surprising lack of Dinosaurs.

Well, that actually quite amusing kinev - since apparently the game released with a bug that spawns ludicrous numbers of Dinos. It's so bad, that surviving a single full play through is worth bragging about on the Steam forums.

So, it's both a moral imperative that you skip it to not support an evil developer - but also in your own self interest, as merely getting the game to work at all is a task in and of itself.

I'd make note of that - but I pretty much stopped paying any attention once I realized the game was named "Dino Beatdown". Because, nothing of quality ever released with a title like that.

That said, I am still excited for "Suckerpunch a shark", coming from them this fall.

LOL...I'd buy Suckerpunch a Shark...on sale.

Seriously, though, I saw the title and looked at the screenshots just for giggles; it might be one of those so-bad-it's-good games.

THOSE are the Steam screenshots from "Dino Beatdown"?!?!

I think I see an outline of a T-Rex in the second one...

It should be called ORION: Pastel Armored Guys with Guns™

It's time for a Mystery PC Games Theater 3000 show. It could resurrect G4. Think about it. And then cut me in for 20%.
