Very weird game, but if you don't mind a bit or morbid stuff, a really good story driven experience. I started watching a Let's Play & had to buy it for myself.
Essentially it's a point & click adventure game without the point & click. Keyboard controls work well though & it uses the classic adventure game conventions of finding & choosing the right object in the right place. As Kevin says, the voice acting is a bit hit & miss, as are the quality of animations. This is definitely a low budget indie game but the small flaws can be forgiven for success of the overall game.
I'd say certainly not for everyone, but if the aesthetic & theme has intrigued you, definitely give it a go.
@hystavito Well earlier this week it came out that M$ were offering money to youtubers who did not mention any negative aspects about the Xbone, they may be offering Sqenix a slightly higher amount though.
(Or more likely they just don't want to mention it because they want to maximise sales despite the fact that it performs less on one machine, but conspiracy theories are more fun.)
@pavoid @bbq_R0ADK1LL Do you feel bad that they're not paying you to say that?
I'm sure the Xbone is fun, however the unit & the games that you can play on it probably have some negative aspects as well & if you are going to youtube expecting a balanced opinion, looking to make a purchase decision, then there should be some more honesty.
I guess now we all know not to trust anything from Machinima. You can look elsewhere if you want any sort of balanced opinion. I really hope they see a serious drop off in views & change their ways.
Also, you can likely question anything good about the Xbone you've heard anywhere.
OK let's just pretend for a minute that the internet infrastructure is actually able to handle streaming of games.
I think it would actually be a good service. There are plenty of console games that I have rented because they can be finished in a matter of days. In the last year I rented both TLOU & Beyond: two Souls, 2 great games that I easily finished with a 3 day hire. However I won't be able to get the dlc for TLOU because I didn't buy it (& I won't at the prices they charge in NZ). If I could play games & their dlc with a streaming service at a reasonable price, that would be a pretty good value proposition.
My PC handles most of my gaming needs these days, but there are still a few console exclusives that I wouldn't mind playing (again) if I thought I was getting value for my money.
I don't know why so many people get so caught up over review scores. They're supposed to be a tool to use to decide whether you want to get the game or not. If you've played it already, why do you even care if GS scores it higher or lower than you would? Maybe you liked the game & you want it to have commercial success, but surely any intelligent individual would look at a range of reviews. GTA V certainly sold plenty of copies even though GS *only* gave it a 9. Personally I think that game was overhyped & really deserved a 7, but each to their own.
@simulacraman Probably a good option if you don't want the hassle of building a gaming PC. I'd definitely keep watch on what games actually run on Linux though, it's not a lot yet.
@pongley @AngelsongCA Clearly he only has a problem with a religion that actually makes him feel guilty about his life.
Zeus doesn't tend to demand to much these days, but God might still actually want you to stop doing those things that make you feel guilty & start caring about other people in the same way that you care about yourself. I can see how that might be troubling for a lot of people.
