So what do you hope his stint in the Rickshaw will accomplish? Is it simply nebulous, largely meaningless 'punishment'? I thought I was having a discussion with the guy that was pretty productive, and would be welcome in most threads on the forum. I think it was a back-and-forth...

Help me understand what the point of him 'being in here' is, then. Is it for punishment and isolation? If so, I suppose I've misunderstood. I was under the impression it was to protect the integrity of the #GamerGate thread. If the real motivation is exclusion, man up and suspend him or stfu.

Well, if the definition that we are gonna use for game is 'you control an avatar in an environment', then yes, I suppose Gone Home fits that criteria. I still don't believe that is an adequate definition of a 'video game', but I'll agree to disagree. @the good doctor: I apologize for...

That sounds like a moment my eyes were probably intensely focused on the bowl of my bong. Unsurprising I missed it.

Hmmm I don't remember knowing my own name. Maybe I'll play through it again when I get home to refresh

I'd argue that the player/viewer present in Gone Home is not a protagonist, as it doesn't possess characterization.

I would have used an example like PlayStation Home. But basically, your stance is 'I can't define what a video game is, but Gone Home definitely is one'? I'm not sure this discussion can be productive if that is the case.

@Tanoomba: what exactly is your definition of a video game?

How is this thread still overflowing with butthurt? Did Brad fuck all your moms?

Your misdefinition of products like Gone Home, The Stanley Parable, and Mario Paint seems to stem from a lack of understanding of where the interactive digital entertainment medium is headed. The only reason people with outmoded notions of 'video games' are identifying the above mentioned...

I got a good 8-10 hours out of Tower of Guns last month. So that's something. What I've learned in the past year as a ps+ subscriber is never ever buy an indie on release unless it's something real special. You'll be getting it for free within 12 months anyway.

You haters just mad about Bloodborne GG no re 420blazeit Just wait. I'll be flyin' high in my Coupe de Swoop spaceship in No Man's Sky with my wingman KratoS69 and you PC oldies will be applying anis cremes 2 soothe ur buttfrustrations. Have fun in cities:skynerds, uglies.

Agreed, thanks. I wish I could remember the name of that UFO apocalypse game... It was a real treat. Spent a while trying to google-fu it tonight and came up with nothing. It was somewhat like Proteus or Eidolon. I looked on Steam too and I didn't see it. Imagine an open field with sparse...

Thanks! She bore the fruit of my loins, so she kinda had to. Anyway, maybe 'fail state' isn't enough of a defining characteristic. I'd look to the definition of 'game' for further guidance: GAME noun 1. a form of play or sport, especially a competitive one played according to rules and...

Edit: SOME people are doing this. There are some people who legitimately believe it's a game (dumb), and people who think the distinction doesn't matter so let's hug! (Tanoomba)

Right? Honestly, the whole 'OMG shitlords Gone Home IS TOO a game' feels like a fucking buttmad pissing contest to me. They want it to be called a game just because some shitty people are calling it 'not a game' for shitty, poorly articulated reasons. They don't need it to be 'a game', they need...

See, here's where we disagree. I think Gone Home is an excellent example of what it 'is', deserving of every ounce of praise that it got. What it 'is' just isn't a game. I like experiences like Gone Home a LOT, and would seek them out more often if I had an easier way to find them.

I feel the presence of fail states/win conditions define something as a 'game'. The only thing limiting your success in a title like 'Gone Home' is whether or not you actually take the time to complete the narrative.

You're probably right, but I wanted gaming to be something we could do together. PC gaming isn't great for that. And Tanoomba isn't bad to converse with when you're on a topic that hasn't been totally beaten to death already. He just gets bored far less quickly than the rest of us, and it...

Here's the issue as I see it. My fianc? is not a gamer, and finds the whole thing super intimidating. Her reaction time is pathetic, and she has zero comfort level with a current gen 8+3 button + dpad dual stick controller. We all learned for YEARS on dpad + 2 button controllers, which got more...

It's rare that I see someone get owned this hard and not even realize it's happening to them. Bravo, lendarios. My lulz meter is full.

Lol as I prove my own point, and call the spaceship thing a 'game' because we don't have appropriate words for these products yet. It's an immature medium that should be explored and respected as its own thing. We're all cheating ourselves out of what could be the next cool thing by ignoring...

I'm saying it's just fine to sell it on Steam or anywhere else that sells interactive digital media. Just categorize it properly. It's a (quite decent) digital novella, not a game. It's no less noble or entertaining, and categorizing it improperly is not fair to consumers who may be looking for...

Cook books aren't novels. Should they be taken out of book stores?

To be fair, I said it wasn't a video game. I said that because it isn't a video game. It fits the 'video' part just fine, but not the 'game' part. Not everything presented on a monitor that you interact with through a keyboard/controller is a game. Gone Home and experiences like it, are...

Ya, when I realized we were somehow talking about Anita again, despite her claims being thoroughly debunked by rerolled, the entire internet, and fucking scientists, I decided to bow out. We all know where the discussion goes from here by now anyway. Is 'fraud' a personal insult or a...

If they make his eyes solid yellow It wont be that bad. Right now though, without the demonic eyes, he looks about as fierce as a live action my pet monster.

Coming should be 'cooking'. Fuck the shaw.

I dunno... Seems like an attractive product to me. I find it difficult to find the extra hours for physical activity. Shakes mean i can use the saved time coming/grocery shopping to work out. Not to mention, if I were closely monitoring the details of my food intake, it would be real nice to...

Protein shakes as meal replacements don't work? Learn something new every day I guess. Tells you how much I lift...

Dachshunds or Huskies?

Yea the tweet about feminists not being taken seriously was a bit much. Looked to me like the person behind the Twitter account was just lashing out because they felt attacked, and went a bit overboard. Something all of us on rerolled are familiar with. While I agree with most of what you say...

A 'marketing campaign' requires planning and premeditation. That's not at all what happened here. Are there individuals who will buy protein shakes just to stick it to SJWs in light of what happened? Sure. However, it's a stretch to claim that was the plan all from the start. Maybe people who...

You should have put #GamerGate in the thread title, moved it to Other Games, and observed which thread did better. Science!

I love how in Tanoomba's reality, Protein World's strategy was 'to piss a large number of people off' rather than 'to support the already loyal customer base, and defend their lifestyle choices and values'. This is demonstrably false. Protein World did not throw the first stone. They were not...

A couple Gamespot dudes talking about the limited gameplay they've seen. Sound underwhelmed. Star Wars Battlefront: How Does the Gameplay Look? - The Lobby - The Lobby - GameSpot

Thanks for that. At least that's one positive in a huge list of negatives. Holding out to see if it's more than 4 environments on release though

Source?

I really really hope that this is the release where gamers take a firm stand and say 'fuck you' to an industry that seems to think they're retarded. If anyone can get as angry as gamers, it's Star Wars fans. I mean really, 8 maps over 4 environments for $60? No single player campaign? No space...

Only discount was bundled with expansion pass I think, but I'll look again.
