Flower... wtf was this game trying to do

There's no sense of achievement, or accomplishing anything in this game. It doesn't relate the scenes in the city to the plains parts, and the gameplay was too basic. This game for me is the biggest failure in gaming this generation.

yeah I was bored after 30 minutes....never touched it again

It was trying to be a unique, peaceful and beautiful experience butobviously it didn't fit your taste.

Are you serious? This game was awesome!!! It was trying to be awesome and succeeded. Best downloadable game of 09

Whats the point of flower again? Ratchet_Fan8

To entertain it's target audience, like any game.

Its wayy Better than all the shooters around which are only about killing 24/7.. Flower is a great game imo

The only problem I had with Flower was that I thought it was a tad expensive for the amount of content. Apart from that I thought it was fantastic.

nope, that was shadow complex...by far.

I won that VGA Dew Downloadable Game thing and they sent me Flower this past weekend. I redeemed it but haven't tried it yet because I'm too busy playing recently purchased Castle Crashers. I'll play it later on this week. So far the reviews I've read are positive so I expect it to be good.

Here comes the guy who always tries to piss people off but fails at it.:roll:

To relax.

Relaxing games are very few. Sometimes I just get tired of stressing out myself over a shooter or a difficult game. There are times where I just want to play in peace.

Heavy Rain is looking to do that as well.

It seems like it would be pretty cool. I don't think I'll spend $10 for it though

I never played the game so I am only speaking from watching the trailers but seemed kinda like a girly game to me. I mean the whole point was to just float around as a flower and thats it.

It was a very peaceful, and different game. It is not for everyone, but for those who will end up liking it should have a good experience. Its not something you will play over and over, but the experience is great and very relaxing.

i like it but it could use the dual analog rather (or optional) instead of the crappy sh!taxis controls

Yea kiddo, but what about the adults, like me,who work 8 hours a day and come home wanting to relax using video game entertainment?

It was made to help relieve stress and as a peaceful and beautiful alternative to all the bloody, gory shooters.

You're right. It's better than a game.

If I didn't win it from the VGA DEW Downloadable Game Giveaway I don't think I would have bought it for that price.

The next time you watch a movie, pick up your 360 controller. Then tell all of us if you can control it or not? Tell us if you can control your character's morale decisions and spoken dialoges.

Heavy Rain has a few things but gameplay is sure not one.

I liked flowery... though I didn't buy it (played it on my friends ps3).

I don't think it had a point, other than trying to be artistic and unique. I'm really starting to hate those two terms.

For some reason, the game kind of gives me that Sonic Adventure vibe.

It does too relate the apartment visuals to what's happening in the level. Guess you didn't bother playing past the second level or something. The gameplay being basic is kind of the point. It's supposed to be calm and soothing. The simple control system and design works perfectly to that end.

IDC wat the point of it is, it was a beautiful game that really helped me to relieve stress.

It was meant to be calm and relaxing and I for one really enjoyed that aspect. Video games don't always have to be KILL KILL KILL EXPLOSION DEATH!!!!AcidSoldner

Are you guys kidding?

I mean you play a powerful force of nature and the purpose of the game is to rip apart plantlife and drag their remains behind you.

Seriously though, some kids are just not gonna get a game with no guns. :roll:

Did you actually try the game, or did you just watch a video? It's a beautiful, relaxing experience. If you can't understand the goal of the game, it obviously wasn't for you. That, however, does not make it a failure. It obviously won the hearts of critics and people posting in this thread, myself included.

its not for everyone, but i loved it!!! its actually nice to play this for a bit after playing an intense fps.... calms the nerves down a bit :P

The silly, shallow Dualshock-waggling was annoying, I agree. I didn't like it very much. I suppose it's relaxing, but to me laying down is equally effective, and that doesn't cost money. It's pretty, at least.

I love it how people criticizing the TC and assuming he doesn't like the game because it doesn't have guns when all he complained about was that there was no sense of achievement in the game and that the gameplay was too basic

I derived enjoyment out of the very first level. The mellow music, how it plays a note on the guitar as you pop a flower, how the grass bends as you woosh through it, how you fill in the world with specks of color, the twirly motions of the petals, the tranquil pace, the oddly tangible feel of controlling the wind, flying through yourself, the pretty visuals, especially the glowing grass level. I found it immensely satisfying. I'm not quite sure what type of achievement the game would be missing.
