Is Fez the one that's the metaphor for the nuclear bomb, the alcoholic dad, the death of a sibling, or just a dork jerking off in your face for a few hours while a bunch of other dorks clap and cheer about how artistic it is.

the worst was not the qr puzzle, or even the esoteric alternate alphabets you were supposed to learn yourself that were required to decode two thirds of the puzzles in the game, but the clock that required you to wait up to a week to get the jiggy cube

i mean you could just change your system clock but that was hosed up

Does anyone take game reviews seriously anyway? I thought it was common knowledge that reviews are bought and paid for and basically just lengthy ads for games in most cases.

The only difference here is that no one plays indie games, so she has no money and has to trade sex for reviews.

nintendo power was great because it was uniformly biased so you could just subtract two layers of cocksucking from each review (three for first-party titles) to get an accurate rating

As a video game journalist (you can read my review of Skyrim in this thread), I found Fez to be fun for just exploring the world and treating the platforming as a puzzle. I got a good kick out of it and think it was a fun game. The creator seems to be a manchild, but I'd play a game by Hitler if it was fun.

Actually, this very week a male creator, of a web-comic, not a game, was also caught do really skeevy sexual poo poo. He was immediately treated as guilty, before any proof was provided (the pics were indeed provided, but not under the circumstances that were being claimed), and he was doxxed, with his family receiving threatening phone calls. Even after he released a statement explaining where the picture came from, how it came to circulate and that he didn't send it out to dozens of women as alleged, he is still treated by the twittersphere as having done so.

Like this, there is also a weird angle to it, as the whole controversy sort of arose from someone being offended about him making non-profit images for charities and tragedies (the one that triggered this was Ferguson).

I mean I guess you're kind of right in no one cared to ever take his defense, not even to say the harassment and doxxing of him was bad and shouldn't be done, but enough people were outraged.

sorry but that goes against the narrative that anyone criticizing animehair is a misogynist and not just someone who hates useless hypocritical scumbags

every person "ironically" posting itt that they'd like to WRITE A REVIEW of her VIDEO GAME and so on needs to remember that she basically looks like a potato rolled in cornstarch but with a weird zitlike dermal implant

if you want me to write a positive review of sadbrains the game you need to bring something more to the table than what i'm seeing now

Thanks to gamefly for consoles i never have to worry about paying attention to gaming bloggers (they are not journalists in any right). For PC games i check steam comments and sometimes the games threads here.

There is no reason on this planet that a blogger should be paid for their lovely opinions about games, let along called a journalist.

the way this story was framed at the beginning she was a smoldering anime haired temptress and her myspace angled photos sort of backed that up but then more photos came out and i was like lol all of these people are gremlins

wait was that the actual final final puzzle

when I played it (read: followed along on gamefaqs because like hell I am decrypting hundreds of glyphs myself) they had figured out how to get all the collectible doodads and then they could press a code to make one doodad disappear but there was still one doodad that didn't, and also making the doodad disappear didn't appear to actually do anything

man that game was a waste of time
