Gone Home Speed Run. Thread of Mastering the master Race

So MLG, my god......

Someone has a laughing problem.foxhound_fox

Must be the struggle of the 90's.

Petit gave this a 9.5....

Ha, he even streamed it. I'm sure his viewers had a blast watching that run. :P

I watched the video, does this mean I beat the game too?

Only watched half of the video so I can't say for sure, but it looks like this might need a spoiler tag.  The video could ruin the game for anyone who hasn't played it.

It sure does!

Be glad you didn't pay full price.

SO YEA ANYWAY THESE ARE SOME PRETTY BIG SPOILERS THANKS.

I've already beaten the game but man you gotta label that better.

[QUOTE="MrYaotubo"] And IGN a 9.5 also,Giantbomb a 5/5,Polygon 10/10,EDGE a 9,among many others,it´s an amazing experience.MrYaotubo

Debatable.

I'll just say not at one moment during my 1 hour and 30 minute playthrough *I took my time* did I feel like I was experiencing something amazing or even great. Obviously anything can be boiled down to opinion but I wouldn't even say the story was deep. Anyone who could potentialy think that and tell me straight to my face would give me the impression they have never picked up a book in their lives.

Too Dear Esther like for me to want to go to that for my indie fix. Steam bargain bin is the only way I'd try it. jg4xchamp

If you disliked dear esther even a bit, Yeah stay far far away.

I really got bummed when I found out Machine for pigs is being made entirely by chinese room, my hype got pretty much killed off. I thought they were just going to offer Frictional support.

It's not necessarily my fault you can't read properly.

Sorry, I just don't know what to say here.

It's not necessarily my fault you can't read properly.

Edit: Let me make this more clear. A speed run does not mean any kind of reveal of plot or reasonable gameplay experiences. See speedruns of any myriad of story based games like MGS4 for evidence of that. Or see a speedrun of Dark Souls which skips 80% of the content and all of the story. With this, you've literally blown the biggest plot point of this exploration based game with no labeling. I don't think it would kill you to mention this is a spoiler in the OP.

And IGN a 9.5 also,Giantbomb a 5/5,Polygon 10/10,EDGE a 9,among many others.MrYaotubo

We're on GS. One evil at a time.

Quite frankly, all that tells me is that Petit felt safe giving it that score.

it´s an amazing experience.MrYaotubo

As a game? Not even remotely.

It's a sociopoltical statement. And it should be graded as such.

Suckering people into buying your favored propoganda through good reviews is stupid.

I guess I sort of walked right into this one, but I still wanna post this for fun.:P

It´s debatable for any game in existence.MrYaotubo

So, basically, it's all shades of grey. Is that what you're going to hang your hat on?

There's one extra click required for the full story, it's all good man.

Why would I want to watch a speed run to a game I haven't played yet? *Walks away from boring thread*AmazonTreeBoa

It's so cool and edgy when you describe your actions through text. :)

Champ after Last Light you should know better than to make up assumptions on games before you even try them

Dark Descents level design isn't it's problem. It's that it has 1 type of scare and that wears thin when you learn the pattern of it which is just before halfway through the game. Then the rest is spent running away from monsters in annoyance rather than fear

Also what the fvck were people expecting Gone Home to be? So many people ragging on it saying it's a let down, what were you expecting?

wait, what's with the satanic table early on? the hell?BrunoBRS

[QUOTE="Vaasman"] A speed run does not mean any kind of reveal of plot or reasonable gameplay experiences.foxhound_fox

Words. Mouth. Mine. Get out of my mouth.

Gone Home is exactly what happens when a developer is more concerned with an idealogical message than with a game.

First off Speed run does indeed scream spoilers as a speed run is an entire playthrough of a game as fast as possible

also they still have to WATCH the video to actually be spoiled and it takes a little bit into said video to come across anything worth considering a spoiler

I was expecting nancy drew meets the exorcist.

instead I got nancy drew meets The L word.

Is it really that much of a thing that I think it should be labeled with a spoiler? Jesus.

Seriously though. The Steam description says it's just about exploring a house and that's it. No puzzles or combat or anything of the sort. They literally tell you it's about picking things up and walking through a house

If you expect anything more than that you were obviously gonna be let down
