MrBeefy Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Well this doesn't give me confidence they got Cornhole right. Also don't mobile gamers on average spend $80 a year on games? Why are the numbers like this then? $15 is way less than $80!!!!! Haters and gaming racists!!!! 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to stream this (and the other $15 Amico mobile games) but as I read about the app I found out that apparently you need at least two mobile devices to play it? One device needs to run the free Amico Home app and the other(s) connect to it and act as the controller(s)? Seems like a lot of trouble for a bunch of sub-par games. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzie.P Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 So, we know it's not gonna happen, of course, but for the giggles --- lets say they manage to release actual controllers this holiday at a decent price point... anyone planning to buy? Maybe just as a collectible (some of y'all bought empty boxes, so that's not a stupid assumption) or maybe with hopes it can be a neat gadget to work with PC emulators or something. Heck, people have a hit with "so and so beat Dark Souls with guitar controller" and things like that, so it'll not be completely useless if someone gets creative. I have zero interest in getting one for those "$15 a pop" mobile games they're crapping out, but there's a slight chance I'd be slightly, mildly, a wee bit, like 3 out of 10 interested in having a couple if they can be used for anything else, like PC or rpi. Maybe on clearance or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait... so other than the "2 devices needed" nonsense, you actually wanted to pay $15 each for these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingonwheels Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Just out of curiosity, I attempted to register my console order on the Amico website. Yes, after all these years I still have an active $100 pre order. Just never bothered requesting a refund. When I put my order number in I get a message telling me it can't be found. I'm 100% sure my order number is correct. John Alvarado suggested I contact Amico customer service. I did a couple times but never heard back. This was months ago. I also never got Amico Home working on any of my devices. Alvarado suggested I open up some ports on my router, but I did and no change, I still couldn't connect so gave up. I have no desire to redeem codes for any of the games due to learning that Amico will subtract the purchase price of the games from my deposit, yes I also purchased the 8 pack or whatever it was of physical products why back when. They have been sitting on a shelf unopened for years (underneath my nearly complete US Dreamcast games collection). Anyway, here's some screenshots of the failed registration process for those curious: Edited March 6 by livingonwheels 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on there. What's funny is the market they want has literal access to it now. Anything short of 3.2 billion is a fail. Aw who am I kidding 1000 is close enough. Let us celebrate their success. Thi should have been a device for me. Multiplayer focused, cheap, good for non and young gamers. It failed miserably. In so many ways. It isn't cheap (price not build), the games aren't casual friendly, and most the multiplayer looks like forced crap. Shark Shark and Astrosmash look the best amd that isn't saying much. Those games shouldnt be more than $5 tops. It never has been anything they said it was. 3 hours ago, Radio F Software said: I wanted to stream this (and the other $15 Amico mobile games) but as I read about the app I found out that apparently you need at least two mobile devices to play it?

Giving money to people like them just embolden the next guy to try and rip people off with subpar products and ideas. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be really honest, I recently hesitated strongly to buy the CD-i like controller for Switch that Limited Run is making for Arzette, although I didn't plan on using it anyway. I even put it in my cart but changed my mind. That being said, it was less than $40 iirc. So even though a part of me would want it just as a funny souvenir, if it's more than $50, and it probably will be, then nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure if they still are doing refunds. Some have gotten, some have not, and it seems to be a combination of luck with asking at the right time, and/or the right people making a stink about it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beep boop they were refunding until they weren't beep boop they have no money but continue to pay salaries beep boop they don't lie beep boop. That is a good point that now would be a good time to make a stink. They've done nothing to earn that $100 and quite frankly it isn't getting made. You could buy a bunch of good games on good platforms in the $10 or less range and have a better gaming experience. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightWolve Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I dreamed a dream of an Amico in that sweet vintage woodgrain signed by "Intellivision CEO and Amico visionary" Tommy Tallarico himself, but alas, it was never meant to be...

Sad thing was, I was a pretty good fit for what they claimed was their "target audience," I think. Kids, family, gamer, disposable income and buys a lot of useless shit whether it's worth it or not. I was the "sucker with youngins and money" that they've been dreaming of. And they blew it... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBeefy Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Chinese production is complete. This Cornhole chicken isn't a scam. Look I picked a cute date that is divisible by three! hardy har har. Some General Beef's Chicken. Ah I miss the days of people telling me my concerns are false because they have stupid dates and spent money on licenses for demos or games they weren't working on. Actually, I don't. Seeing that level of stupidity was exhausting. At least we are only down to one audible idiot left here at AA. Most the others know to not talk about their love for it knowing they will sound dumb. I wonder how many nights they cried in fetal positions knowing they joined a cult based on lies and sold their dignity? So has everyone else heard the news that Tommy is slowly delisting videos like his hour long "apology" video to Pat and Ian? Now time for grilling. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
