it was fundamentally flawed imo the stupid essentially meaningless dying. back in my day we had these things called lives so you could only gently caress up so much and then no more game for you. therefore you only died in the game if you deserved it and likelihood of dying was a meaningful difficulty measure that went up as you went along, and there was a sense of risk and stuff. i had this housemate who was a hosed up retard but for some reason went and bought a load of awful military shooters for my wii and played them over christmas. i witnessed him playing call of duty once and it was the worst thing i've ever seen, he jsut wandered around pissing about and dying constantly and eventually survived to the next auto save by dumb luck and that's how he got through the game. limbo is evidently made by someone who grew up with that being the norm Abandon fucked around with this message at 13:11 on Jun 3, 2014 |

it was a cool game ruined by everything about the game mechanics. dying and having to do stuff again is the worst thing to make somebody do in a game. you let someone do something again if they choose to

Palpek posted:Closure, The Swapper, Nihilumbra, Lume  I tried out Nihilumbra, I like the idea but the contrived environments and goofy narrator didn't do it for me. Swapper looked like it had weird mechanics, but I might have to give it a try anyway. Lume and Closure I've not even heard of, I'mma check em out Busta Chimes.wav posted:play Another World op

i liked when you ran through the traps and all the little boys chasing you died or got eaten by a spider. that was hosed up and i like hosed up things.

i liked that it managed to tell a (simple) story without a word. you're a lonely little boy who probably just wants a friend but the other inhabitants reject you not just because you look different but also because drag karma along with you Everywhere you go you exude suffering, from harming the spider, bringing it to the village, forcing the children deeper into the unknown, finally dismembering and impaling the spider completely, forcing the little rat creature into the toil and fear of the running wheel, ripping the leg off the wasp, burning the brainworms with light and feeding them to the chomping urchins... all just so you could progress and propel yourself deeper into your own nightmare. It's a legit form for a negative afterlife to take... every action serves to propagate the suffering of both the self and the other.

when you reach the end with the girl, then look at the menu screen afterwards, you see the same forest the two of you were in, but there's now two clouds of flies over two dead bodies, which means you died and the girl died, and that is also hosed up and cool.
