everyone stop playing rocket league

there are only so many times you can haphazardly boost into the ball

I saw a video game review where the reviewer said he had 1500 hours of rocket league at the bottom and it immediately made him distrust him

1500 hours?

Inside is a really fun game, mostly because I never thought about a hidden story or why I grew into that blob (story of my life and all that...haha). It was just a lot of fun.

It's sequel, Carrion, is even better.

Carrion isn't a sequel to Inside though? Unless there is two games called Inside, Inside is a sequel to Limbo and not made by the same company as Carrion or related at all

Inside is one of the most bafflingly rated games I've ever known. Any rational person would say it was a boring 2 hour long creepy platformer but folk on the internet would have you convinced its slightly original or interesting. Its not. Its loving dull.

The Wikipedia page has the most pretentious thing I've ever seen written about video games

Much like Limbo, Inside went on to be considered one of the greatest games of all time.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

This isn't even under reception this is just the main blurb

I know, but it kinda feels like it somehow, imo. I mean yeah, Carrion is a completely different game, but beeing the experiment that escaped the tank and now murders stuff on it's way out is somehow more fun than it should be....

Inside is a very well made game. Art direction is cool and good, gameplay is pretty simple but very polished, and yeah, I get why it's dull to many. I enjoyed it, similar to Limbo. It's a chill, simple game with a cool art style. Similar to Gris. Enjoy the show. Pick it up if on sale, see if it's for you, if not, drop it.

I feel the same about Carrion.

People trying to make more from it (Inside/Limbo) or trying to tell you how "deep" the story etc. is the same Undertale poo poo again.

the whole "it's actually a metaphor for, like, survivor's guilt, maaaaaan" horse poo poo from the late aughts/early 10s that came out of indie games was horse poo poo

it turned Lone Survivor from a really cool survival horror game into navel gazing garbage about how hard it is to be the ~lone survivor~ of a bus bombing, which i'm like 99.9% certain the dev has only ever read about or seen on the news

I played and beat that and had no idea what it was about. I had guessed mental illness, but a bus bombing? Never would have.

even the one game that talked about war from a civilian point of view and the devteam were nearly all survivors of the siege of sarajevo wasnt good ludically, as a game qua game, it just had good points about poo poo that happens

It had the skeleton of a good game, but too much stuff was slow in a way that made it feel like their was a barrier between me and the game.

This War of Mine may have been an excellent work of fiction but in order to be a good game it has to be fun instead of making you feel terrible about everything

Spec Ops: The Line had the same problem. For whatever point it might have to make about the horror of war, the game itself is a really dull, generic third-person shooter.

I've never felt so ripped off by an Overwhelmingly Positive game on Steam. It's cool the first time you have to choose between robbing some granny or letting one of your housemates starve or whatever but it only takes an hour or two until you hit that moment of "wait that's it? that's all you can do in this game?"

I liked this war of mine, it was fun managing my survivor colony. At some point early on I said "gently caress it" and decided that one of my survivors would be better off as a thievin' murder hobo, and I learned that the game actually reacts appropriately to the player deciding to become a marauding bandit

Frostpunk was definitely the better game though
