A true regional fucking, then.
I expected triple penetration to be in the game, not the pricing. XD

Can’t really help what conversion rates are. Like some other posts have said, it’s real cheap for them to get.

I wonder if you would have to live on brazilian paycheck if you would still call it "cheap".
It is so easy for everyone to judge if something is cheap or not if they are living in a country where the price of a video game is 2% of the minimal wage there. Brazil's economy is fucked, even if the prices are cheap from our perspective, they are certainly not from theirs.

Blame steam for regional price change. The game price in $ has been consistent since early access
Some tips for using VR in Subverse.
View attachment 2024-11-28 23-10-01.webm
Since UEVR allows to use VR with most Unreal Engine games it works with Subverse as well. However you'll need to tweak the game a little otherwise it'll be unusable in VR.
For this I use Universal Unreal 4 Unlocker (UUU).
After launching Suvberse and hooking UUU to it you'll need to open the console (~) and disable Depth of field effect with
r.DepthOfFieldQuality = 0
command otherwise the game simply won't work in VR (it has similar issue with a free camera).
After that you can hook UEVR to Subverse to start the actual VR mode.
Enable\disable camera and Toggle HUD buttons in UUU are very useful for VR so map those and remember.
After that you can just go to Pandora or pretty much any other screen ingame, disable HUD and enable free camera with a hotkey. You can sorta move the camera with holding left and right mouse buttons to adjust it closer to a position you want, the movement is a bit awkward so you'll need to get used to it. Then you can just go around in VR normally. You can switch Pandora scenes with joystick on VR controller.
Some scenes require further tuning to work properly tho.
Sometimes there can be an effect which is very distracting in VR, like intense Bloom for example.
For scenes like that you'll need to tweak Effects settings in UUU.
In this case Bloom intensity but for some other scenes you might want to tweak Bloom dirt mask and Lense flare settings.
Some premium scenes seem to use bigger more detailed (?) characters' models so they'll appear quite bigger than usual in VR. Lily's Leg up scene is an example. If giantess fetish isn't your thing you'll need to tweak the World scale in the UEVR menu for such scenes.
Something around 1.2-1.3 should work.
Most scenes don't require such tweaking though and can be just viewed normally. Also, for some reason Free camera breaks for me in Gallery photo mode so it's kinda hard to move camera around in VR there, not really sure why.
A lot of crutches but still looks kinda nice. Studio FOW did tease VR in one of early trailers but I don't think they ever mentioned it again, obviously it's not a priority for them but would've been cool to get an actual official VR support or maybe dedicated VR mode.

That's interesting, I am less far into the game (start of Act V) but my opinion would be basically the opposite. I'm giving the story a pass because it's a parody porn game, so I'm only talking about the gameplay and sex scenes. The ground combat I found mostly inoffensive. It's brain dead easy but not mindlessly boring, so it's okay. But the damn space combat, man. I have no idea what they did, either it's the movement, the bullet speed, the bullet speed relative to how fast everything moves, our hitbox, or the time to kill, but something is just off about it and makes those sessions a chore. Here, take the dash for example. The ship basically follows tank controls, right? You move the angle of the "turret" with your mouse, and handle the movement with WASD keys, a solid system that works fine. Then the dash, for some ungodly reason, does not go into whichever direction you're inputting on the WASD keys (you know, with the hand also responsible for hitting the space bar) but the direction you're pointing at with your gun. So you can't dash away from enemies while still shooting them, you got a lot more precise control over the dash's direction but no, I would not like to have to turn my ship 180 degrees to dash away and then back 180 degrees in the other way to resume shooting. It's just an example but whatever is in the space combat mix, it ends up making the system a chore. Really, both space and ground combat end up being a chore, ground combat is much less of a chore but still, there is nothing enjoyable enough about either.
And the damn characters. The designs are great. I may like some more or less, but it's all a personal opinion. Would I like less fur on the catgirl? Yes. Is it still an acceptable amount of fur? Also yes. Would someone else have the exact opposite opinion? Probably, yeah. So it's all good. But the characters feel samey. Here, you know the smoking hot turboslut who could easily kill the MC, which makes her a bit scary but also sexier? How many of the damn crew fill that description? Over fucking half. That's too many. I know it's a porn game but the devs strongly overestimate just how endearing of a character trait "turboslut" is. Variety is the spice of life, and while we have variety in design, the characters struggle to establish an identity and it really shows in the sex scenes with the MC, which tend to be bland. Especially given how formulaic they are. You have no text beyond a blurb when selecting the scene, and barely any dialogue ever. You get a few poses but there is rarely a theme. The most braindead option to differentiate the girls is by associating certain kinks with them. Here, in her intro the elf mistakes the manticore-controlling collar for a sex prop. Nice, the girls before her have a bit of a domme vibe, maybe we found a sub and it will be reflected in her sex scenes by having some light BDSM elements. NOPE. Her gift is a goddamn fucking slaver cuff but none of that is reflected in the scenes, there is not a single collar, leash or cuff in sight. Part of the reason sex scenes feel so bland is that they're kinda basic and utterly disconnected from the game. Here, at some point a character implies a girl could apologize to the MC by putting his balls in her mouth. Alright it's funny, but do we get such a scene? NOPE. We do get a blowjob, but it's a normal ass blowjob. There is no continuity between the story and the sex scenes we're getting with the characters. The names of the scenes can be a bit more racey, but do we get some petplay with the catgirl? Nope. Calling a scene the "Turbo breed me daddy" does nothing if the SFM is a normal ass missionary. That's an exageration but you get the point.
But that's just the scenes with the MC, what about the scenes with the girls fucking each other? Hell, we have a couple of girls who are almost exclusively lesbians and explicitly mention scissoring, so likewise do we get that? Nope, I hope you're into dickgirls because that's basically the only girl on girl action you're getting. Said girls don't even have a scene together, and it's all futa action besides one pussy eating scene for each. Shit, if memory serves they even get less "crew" scenes than the other girls. At least the former lesbian couple gets some scenes together. But again, with dicks. It's all formulaic, you got your "captain/solo/crew/xeno" tabs and you got to fill them.
So yeah, if you're not into dickgirls, or monster cocks, you're losing out on over half of the scenes. AND of the scenes left, only few are premium, and some of THOSE are not even sex scenes (being BJs, HJs, etc...). AND THEN even when you find a scene you like (premium or not) sometimes the MC pulls some fucking distracting shit during the animation. Hi, I would like to beat my meat to this, do not fucking salute me or do a fucking thumbs up, thank you very much. Don't get me wrong, there are a ton of scenes, but when it comes to looking for scenes to do the job a fucking porn game is here to do, it's like sifting for gold nuggets, and you don't always find some.
Oh, and on the subject of monster cocks. FUUUUCK the manticores. I can enjoy a good horse cock joke every now and then, but at this point they fuck things up more than they help. At one point the elf mentions the dwarf tanking for her so she can lay some outrageous DPS. Hey, that's nice. AND OF COURSE WE CAN'T FUCKING DO THAT. Because we need to have only one waifu leading a bunch of manticores, meaning the girls are never on the same ground combat encounter and can't interact with each other. Why? What's gained here?
It bothers me to hell and back, but again the real issue is the personality of the waifus being samey. It feels weird saying it about porn game waifus but personality is everything. And "I wanna fuck like a rabbit" is not nearly as endearing as the devs think it is. I understand sexual liberation is one of the main themes of the game but just because we're in a porn game doesn't mean everything has to be about sex. The Imperium is the fun police about everything, cracking down on anything moderately chaotic. Sure, it encompasses orgies, but it also encompasses a whole lot more. Shit, the pirate's recruitment quest has nothing to do with sex in one way or another, besides the promise of fucking her once we're done. And it's great, there is still a lot of sex jokes, but then when we later learn in passing that the pirate's race is genetically optimized to fuck anyone and anything, it doesn't feel one note. It's not like her entire purpose it to get reamed in every hole. The elf IS one note. And it's not like her hang-up is related to the plot, the Veil, or anything. It's just space elves being fucking elves. But hey, sure, we have a slutty mainframe, a doc who loves monster cocks so much that she fucking breeds them, a pirate that's all about fighting drinking and fucking and now an elf which wants to be a slut competitively, but surely we'll get some variety now, right? And lo and behold, we do! The catgirl is awkward, had never been with a man, and is all around shy. She just gets uncontrollably horny in the presence of human males. Hey, that's a nice gap, I can dig that. Her subsequent contributions (in scenes or events when we take the time to read those...) are all about her masturbating left and right. Not just in the presence of the MC. Her kink is just getting herself off anywhere and everywhere, that's even why she chooses the part of the ship she ends up residing in. And predictably the rest of her quest is how she left her planet due to discovering sex toys, and her desire to reclaim the magical vibrator. Okay, so we completely lost the gap, making the character one note, but at least she gets a lot of "solo" scenes to represent that, right? NOPE. They're even on the low side for her, and only one is about masturbating. Again, the divide between the characters and their sex scenes is steep.
That's about where the game loses me. That's just one too many, especially when I thought we were going to get something less one dimensional. Which is too bad because the dwarf's quest which immediately follows is a lot better. The sex scenes have slightly more personality to them, but we're basically rerunning the elf's storyline at this point. That being said, the dwarf is one of the most well made characters, I'd say. She actually has some nice banter with the MC and there seems to be an actual bond between the characters to play with. He loves T-Pop, she's a Teelee, she has a playful nickname for him, etc... it's all good stuff. It's the story that's starting to get repetitive at this point.
The next character is a lot better and it's one of the moments where the game's humor actually worked for me. She has an emotional moment with flowers, something funny that shouldn't happen happens, and she has a minor freak-out because even though it's a "joke" the universe is playing on her, she doesn't have the heart to find it funny in that situation. An actual good example of gallows humor.
And the two recruits of Act IV also have a lot more going on besides "I want dick" so I agree that the game gets a lot better then. But at this point we're saddled with the bullshit from Act II and III. If you lose player interest in the midgame, it won't suddenly reappear in the lategame. Especially since if you're not into futa or monster cocks, you already unlocked every scene that interests you 20 levels ago. There is a real dry spell until getting the devotion scenes, which are cinematics, not Pandora scenes, which begs the question of what even is the fucking point of Pandora.
It feels like the game got fucked over by early access. I didn't follow the alpha builds or things like that, I'm coming in fresh with the 1.0, so I'm just spitballing here, I could be completely off-base. But it feels like the devs put forward a build full of ideas, and that became the template for the rest of the game. If there was a normal development, maybe the devs would have gone back on those ideas midway and wondered if they were actually good ideas, changed them, slashed some, added others. But once there was an expectation for what the game looked like, they couldn't do that now, could they?
As it is, ground combat is kind of a chore, space combat is a definite chore, and the sex scenes are meh. They're not bad, there are a lot of SFMs, but if I want to get my rocks off I am not going through multiple loading screens, selecting five disjointed animations with no story, no text, barely any line ever, and stringing them up. The juice just isn't worth the squeeze. Even though the graphics are great.
I can kinda rationalize the hours I put into this game, it's clearly not bad and the story is even good when it wants to be. The story is not often in the mood to be good, but when it wants to it definitely can be. But if I had spent forty fucking bucks on this game I'd be slapping my own balls.
TL;DR : Ground/space combat is a chore, manticores are shit, waifus are samey, porn is unfulfilling.

Yeah, the elf really sucks as a character most of the characters are sluts the difference being they have one or two other traits and even then I'd argue they're sluttiness gets in the way of those a bit to often. The elf is just a slut with no real story besides being a slut they could have had it were for all the talk about being a slut she's only ever done fake porn (mentioned in her dialogue that the porn had fake penetration) because that would be something you could joke about or just done something with her being reluctant when given the chance to do the real thing but no she's a dime a dozen slut who's not even the first slut you recruit.

Steam usually offers adapted prices for the Brazilian market. Some games do it, some games don't. I don't know how this works, but obviously there is a mechanism to do so. I looks like Subverse did adapt the price before, but when they released 1.0 and adjusted the price it wen't for a simple conversion and it's not affordable at all for Brazilian people to buy it. The new price is over 10% our minimum wage!

Wow, you are attacking me for the post where I agreed with you because your reading comprehension is equal to the one toddler would have. Learn to read or fuck off.
GoG is awesome but has limited library and itch.io is great for porn games but it's hard to even call it a platform.
