So wait, is this why people didn't like Gone Home; it told a story? I thought The Best Games Ever (jRPGs per your average neckbeard) also told stories?

The best I can figure is that it's first-person, But There's No Combat, so they feel cheated. But then again Zork, Myst, etc... whatever. Sorry to derail. Have some TCC.Motivational Lobster posted:

I don't think "it's okay to be a gay 5,000 year old dragon/demon that is in the form of a child" counts.

She wasn't a stripper, her Jungian collective unconscious fear being manifested as a giant technocolor monster with a satellite dish for a head was.

TetsuoTW posted:"People" didn't like Gone Home because the player character is a woman, it's about The Gays, you don't get to kill any minorities/minority-stand-ins, and they're scared of unfamiliar experiences. I think it's more about envy than anything else. "This person made a game that I personally think is kinda junk but they're seeing all this success that I don't think this game deserves." That's enough to turn anyone's run-of-the-mill "bleh" opinion into frothing dislike of a game.

Its because its an pretentious interactive storybook that you can beat in literally 47 seconds with no glitches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9qlm8olmn0 If it was a newgrounds flash game it wouldn't have recieved any flak but they charge 20 bucks for it. Edit: I think people get kinda mad about it is because people like the above make not so subtle implications that if you didnt like the game or rated it low you dont like gay people or women.

If you play games just to find the next event flag and think zelda games have worthwhile stories then yes Gone Home is not good E: Hey wait I'm in the quotes thread? Thought I was in the steam thread.

Yeah I can see this. I don't think Gone Home is bad, I actually kind-of dig it, but the way people try to smear those who criticize it is just as bad as the people who actually do sperg about it for being a game about gays and women.

From what I understand Gone Home is a game about hot lesbians making out, so I don't know why so many people seem to dislike it.
