Gooses honk. How the gently caress is that a "meme"? What the gently caress is wrong with your brain dude?

I shan't be flamed. It's the "press x to _" meme.

[after opening the manual for my brand new tv and seeing the words "press the power button to turn on"] wow, epic memes much? i dont believe samsung has resorted to such high level of aids to appeal to the normie crowd

Its appearance in the trailer suggests a gimmicky presentation to me. But maybe I'm wrong. Enjoy the goose game.

I think at this point 'meme game' is just a catch-all term for any game that uses overt goofiness- usually of an 'ironic' sort- as an excuse to mask lazy programming and gimmick-driven gameplay... stuff like Goat Simulator, Goose Simulator, Bread Simulator, Mayonnaise Simulator, etc. Very deeply bad games, both on an aesthetic level and a moral and spiritual one ('irony' humor is inseparably associated with misanthropy, insincerity and nihilism)

no ones questioning the gimmicky nature of the game but your argument about a game telling you what buttons to press is a meme

Maybe I've got the wrong semantics here. My take on the goose game is that it looks like it's designed and marketed to become a stream fad that kids later buy during Steam sales.

it looks like an entertaining environmental puzzle game. maybe sort of like a low-key adventure game kind of thing. if it's 20 bucks or less, and review suggest more than a gimmick, i'll buy it.

For what it's worth, I don't dislike how the game looks or think it will suck, but it just looks like something where I feel like seeing the gameplay video of it from 2 years ago is enough for me.

the animation is really fluid, and it took like 2 years in development to come out, so i don't think it's going to be garbage in terms of programming (maybe in terms of design).

I think people are lazily lumping it in with Goat Simulator (which is a lovely meme game) because you control an animal and do fun stuff. Obviously it looks pretty shallow from what we've seen but the gameplay/stealth/puzzle aspect of it seems interesting.

shame cos geese are pretty lulzy , theyre pretty smart as birds go, super stupid looking, theyre kind of noble in a weird way etc. if they really cared about geese theyd celebrate them properly, by making a full blown 200 hour long JRPG.
