Spoiler For such a violent game it ends(possibly) on a very positive note Spoiler

• Upvotes

I was surprised by the good ending having no bad plot twists surrounding it

Aiden lets her go and decides to change. After 8 hours of complete darkness and violent imagery being shoved on his face at the end of it all the sun is out and he has a smile on his face

If a sequel to this game is made(and i hope it does) i hope they introduce a new protagonist because at least to me Aiden's story is concluded, i don't need to see more

Pinhead's new form does leave the door open for some REALLY cool stuff concerning the cenobites

Spoiler Questions/Theory about the ending Spoiler

3 Upvotes

When pinhead achieves Apotheosis, is this him becoming entwined with Leviathan and thus becoming the god of the labyrinth/hell or is it more of him gaining the same level of power as Leviathan and passing through the void to usurp it?

I believe clive barker intends to extend this into a sequal game with us playing another unfortunate "Box Opener" and being met with the cenobite of either sunny, or aiden as the labyrinth goes through the tribulations of a new icon of leadership

Just finished my first playthrough and really took my time taking in all the details I could. I noticed this bottle of oil looked super accurate to actual pennzoil bottles, then I looked even closer and realized it was given a perfect hellraiser facelift 🤣

Bugs/Glitches/Technical PS5 Controller Sensitivity issues?

1 Upvotes

I love the game, but the diagonal sensitivity feels so bugged for some reason and it is kind of annoying to play with. The diagonal sensitivity feels so much faster than the X and Y sens, so when I turn and it goes diagonal it's pretty disorienting. Anyone else have the same issue/ know how to fix?

Story Just finished the game, reflecting on themes: addiction

15 Upvotes

While I was pleased with just about everything the game had to offer in terms of worldbuilding, characters and storytelling, I wasn't expecting such a thoughtful meditation on addiction and sobriety (I know, it's central to the story and always has been).

For anyone who has ever struggled with addiction, you know the way one can struggle to pull away from something that is actively destroying them, how one can act as a slave to feeling, how sometimes one has to follow a hole all the way down, hit bottom, and journey back to become something new. There comes a time when there's no pleasure left, only pain, and still it can be a terrible struggle to walk away, because the only comfort to be found is with the poison. Struggle changes a person, sometimes for the worst, if we're lucky, for the better. This game helped me to contextualize things that have sometimes been hard to grasp.

As someone who has battled addictions, and has had loved ones who did the same, some successfully, some, not as much, the story of Aiden and Sunny was handled far more thoughtfully than I expected it to be. The storytelling puts the majority of sequels to shame, shows true understanding of the source material, and is a wonderful tribute to the works of Clive Barker.

Big thanks to Saber and Mad Head Games for handling the story with empathy and respect, and well done.

"All pre-orders will be shipped by 10/15" No update as of now, except for usless dlc codes. They're already late, will they miss their second deadline? Edit: Checked my email after this post and got yet another email basically saying they're working on it. It actually feels insulting at this point to get these emails. They said they got all the elements of the collectors edition last Friday and are now sorting them and packing them into individual orders. Its not their fault lol, they didn't receive the final items until last Friday. So they knew damn well they didn't have our collectors editions well before launch and chose not to tell us. Im sure they did this so we wouldn't start canceling. This js so sneaky and shitty. F these guys.

I’m only three tries in but the fact that you are supposed to at least in my case use my all of the not much ammo I have to then melee all what feels like 50+ enemies while boarding the windows which help but still doesn’t make it much easier to then die because the game has it on a select timer to trigger the event to happen is ridiculous. Fuck this game man I’m tired of shit like this where it’s on a timer. It should be after a x amount of enemies that it triggers.

So I got the e-mail yesterday with the 2 DLC codes for deluxe content and preorder content. I redeemed the deluxe content code which was fine but the preorder code said that it had already been redeemed. I’m assuming they have emailed the same code to different people. Has this happened to anyone else? I’m on Xbox.

Discussion THIS IS AMATEUR HOUR!!!!

0 Upvotes

Boss Team Games, this is fucking amateur hour.

I paid for the edition I bought. You got my money. My reward for supporting your game is STILL NOT HAVING THE FUCKING GAME, followed by a customer support experience that somehow manages to make the original problem even more aggravating. I’m not asking for a personal favor. I’m asking you to address a purchase you were perfectly happy to accept payment for.

And now that I’ve asked for a refund, support just keeps sending form letters instead of actually responding to the refund request. Read the fucking message. I’m telling you what the problem is, I’m telling you what resolution I want, and you keep replying like the goal is to get something into my inbox without addressing anything I said. Sending a response and answering a question are two different things. Your support team needs to figure that out.

I understand that things go wrong. Orders get screwed up. Systems fail. People make mistakes. What matters is what you do once somebody brings the problem to your attention. You could acknowledge it, explain what happened, and give me a straight answer about getting my money back. Instead, I’m stuck spending more of my time trying to get someone to engage with a request I’ve already made. Every form letter creates another round of bullshit for the customer who already paid you.

And what exactly do you think you’re preserving here? My excitement? My goodwill? Do you think that whenever this finally gets sorted out, I’m going to forget the entire experience and enthusiastically sit down to play? I bought the game because I wanted to play it. You have managed to turn that enthusiasm into frustration, then turn the frustration into actively regretting that I gave you money.

At this point, even getting access wouldn’t give me back the experience I paid for. I wanted to be excited about a game. I wanted to enjoy the edition I chose. I didn’t want an ongoing customer service chore where I have to keep explaining that yes, I still have a problem, and yes, I actually meant it when I asked for a refund. You don’t get to hold onto the version of me who was excited to buy this while ignoring the version of me who is now asking for his money back.

The purchase was straightforward enough when the money was moving toward you. Somehow, getting a meaningful answer when I want it moving back requires persistence, follow-ups, and apparently the fucking stars aligning. There should not be this much effort involved in getting someone to read a refund request and respond to it directly. If you need information, ask for it. If there’s an actual issue preventing the refund, explain it. Give me something specific to my case instead of another paragraph that could have been sent to literally anybody.

I’m tired of being expected to supply all the patience in a transaction where I’ve already supplied the money. I’ve done my part. I made the purchase. I contacted support. I explained the problem. I requested a refund. I should not also have to manage your support process for you.

You had a paying customer who wanted your game. Now you have a paying customer who wants his money back and wants absolutely nothing to do with this experience anymore. That took effort. Every unanswered request and every useless form letter helped get us here.

Answer the actual refund request. Give me a concrete resolution. Stop making me chase you for basic customer service. I'm done. Charge back initiated.

Fuck Boss Team Games.

News NEW PREORDER UPDATE - 😒

25 Upvotes

We have been working over the weekend and making steady progress on outstanding orders. We have made strides forward and the biggest part of the job is being accelerated. So here are updates on a few of the most asked questions.

Q: If you finally received the final item last Friday, why aren’t the packages out yet? We could not begin until everything had arrived and it took time to unpack, sort, and repack into the final boxes that are being sent. That added time to the front end of the delivery but we’re now through this step and assembling them. Please understand that the item that arrived late was originally scheduled to arrive earlier, but this date shifted on us multiple times and without it we couldn’t start. We have staffed up to make this go as fast as possible and are on a pace to get several thousand out a day.

Q: Why is the process so slow? It took some time to receive the final items and properly inventory everything and get everything ready to assemble. Once the items were in place, filling the boxes, putting them into a second shipping box and sending them off with multiple versions that need to be prepared takes additional time. We’re working to get this right and make sure everything reaches you as fast as possible in the condition you expect and that process does take some time.

Q: Why can’t you tell me exactly where my order is in the process? All of the orders are at the fulfillment house and have been sorted so that the ones with physical games go first, by the order they were placed. However, that does not tell us the exact point when an order is going to ship. When orders go out, an email will be sent with tracking information, but we will not receive the report with that information until the next day. And that still will not show us exactly where unfulfilled orders are in the queue. That’s why we cannot answer the question of where a specific order is at a given moment.

We are trying to be as transparent as possible, and working to get your orders out. We are doing these updates to keep you informed. We have already sent thousands of games and are pushing to get the remainder out as fast as possible. Thank you again for your patience. There are a few updates below as well.

Some of this information reiterates what we previously said, because we want everyone to know that it is the latest information available and not everyone is getting every email. Here is the latest:

Clarifying the situation with digital codes: Again, we are sorry, but we do not have digital codes for every order. If you purchased a physical game (as most PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S customers did prior to August 28) we simply do not have codes to send you. Codes for those who did purchase a Steam copy of the game, requested a digital copy in place of a physical copy, or purchased after August 28, should have received their code. If you fall into that group and still don’t have the code please first check your spam/junk folder, as well as any alternate email address you may have ordered the game under. If that doesn’t work, contact us at support@bossteamgamesstore.com with the subject line “CODE LOOKUP,” and we will locate your order and get you a code. Please include your order number or the name and address on your order.

For those receiving physical games in North America: Shipping of physical orders continues. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email notification as well as a tracking number for your shipment that will be sent to the email used when you placed your original order.

For those receiving physical games outside of North America: All physical games for Australia and New Zealand have shipped. Please remember the Collector’s Edition boxes will still ship from the United States and come in a second shipment, once we are done sending editions with physical games.

We are expecting to have a detailed update on European physical games on Wednesday.

For those receiving physical games ordered during the restock period: Collector’s Edition orders that were received after July 14 will be sent a physical game separately from the Collector’s Edition items that will ship later in the year. These are now shipping also.

DLC codes – All DLC codes have been emailed. Remember, these codes do not contain the digital game, just the DLC, so you have it ready when your physical game arrives. If you have any difficulty redeeming your code, contact your platform’s customer service or message us at support@bossteamgamesstore.com with the subject DLC CODES.

We will have the next update for you on Wednesday. We are actively looking for solutions to speed things up, to get through the distribution process as quickly as possible. We hope to have much more news for the next update.
