I don't like being a downer, but while AVWW 2 is being mentioned, it's not really being liked.
I noticed the Beta trailer just made it on IGN's youtube channel, and it's already one of the more poorly received videos out of the thousands on that channel.
While IGN and youtube are silly and stupid in general, in this case there are low budget PC indie games and iPad games that are also on their for comparison. Unfortunately, about the only videos that do nearly as bad on that channel as AVWW 2 are cheap iPad games, really cheap ones (the decent ones do much better).
It would be fine if it was just IGN, but most other places I've seen AVWW 2 mentioned echo the same thing, it's being mentioned but it's not being liked even within communities that generally like indie games.
Unless I'm really missing something, so far reception still seems rather negative.
AVWW 2 is getting publicity, but there is still very little positive reception. The game still has an image problem that has to be fixed somehow (though I'm not sure how).
