toxicitizen Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) A Bird Story. I kinda don't want to shit on it but, uh.... meh. The first 20 mins or so felt incredibly boring and pointless. I guess the middle part was slightly more engaging because by the time the credits rolled I didn't entirely regret the hour I spent on it. The one positive thing I can say about it is that it does some pretty neat surrealist stuff with the map design. That alone was almost interesting enough to make it worthwhile. Almost. I generally don't agree with the idiotic "it's not a game!" criticism often leveled against titles like Gone Home and Dear Esther. So keep that in mind when I say that A Bird Story is even less of a game than those. It somehow has less interactivity than To the Moon. And when it does have interaction, it just hits you over the head with keyboard prompts. "You may move now!" "See the arrow? Yes, go there." and so on. What's kinda mind-boggling is that most of the time the game actually does the walking for you. It's like, this map is not only linear as fuck but also pretty damn small. I'm pretty sure I can find my way to the next bit! If you're interested in A Bird Story because you liked To the Moon, it's nothing like it. It's basically just a short story in video game form. And the worst part is that the entire time the guy was making this, he probably wasn't working on the follow-up to To the Moon, which is teased at the end as "Coming One Day". Sigh...

toxicitizen Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Well, last game I beat in 2014 is Escape Goat 2. At first I only intended to play it until I got all my card drops so I could sell them, and keep the rest of the game for later. But I ignored most of the optional sections and pretty much ended up clearing the game just as I got my last card drop. I still intend to go back and do all the rooms but yeah, I guess I accidentally beat it. Edited January 1, 2015 by FLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Heat Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Last game I beat was The Last of Us on Tuesday morning. Really enjoyed the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pojodin Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Deus Ex: Human Revolution Bravely Default Dark Souls II Paper Mario: Sticker Star Super Smash Bros. 3DS (watched a friend play through The Last of Us) (watched a friend play through Infamous Second Son) Not a big year of gaming for me, but I had a lot of other stuff going on and there weren't a ton of games that interested me. Other games I'm working on will probably be finished in 2015. Edited January 5, 2015 by Pojodin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
