Incline FEZ

[Ranselknulf]

Platformers are works of art.

 

[sexbad?]

isn't anything that hasn't been done dozens of times before.

Not that I care one way or the other, but why is this whole "being done before" seen as old-school classic incline when applied to cRPGs, but a sign of redundancy and lack of talent when it describes platformers?

Metro just wants to justify disliking games that aren't for him.

I mean, FEZ doesn't look impressive to me, and it's a broken mess on the two graphics cards I've tried to run it on, but other puzzle platformers that are genuinely brilliant tend to be just lumped together with extreme prejudice by people who don't enjoy puzzle platformers.

Quantity. Over half (if not more) of indie games produced are some iteration of the puzzle platformer genre.

I am discovered.

I'm deeply worried about Fez creator Phil Fish, and you should be too

I guess what I’m trying to say is that Phil Fish has been demonized to the point where he feels he has to leave the gaming industry for good. In a sense, Fez II was cyber-bullied out of existence. The sad part is, most gamers are going to be upset that an amazing game was cancelled while completely ignoring the fact that a human soul was destroyed in the process.

I could have raped a child and my game would still be fucking perfect. Just ask Roman Polanski

I love this quote.

 

[Metro]

This is so over-the-top that if it isn't part of the act it's fucking pathetic. The guy reaped what he sewed. Act like a douche and you'll be treated like a douche.

Ahahaha.

 

[Cynic]

It’s astounding that he and Polytron finished it at all, let alone to the point where it’s a beautiful, brilliant reinvention of gaming’s equivalent of the wheel – the platform game.

These fuckers never played Nebulus did they?

 

[himmy]

It’s no secret that I admire both the work and quirky personality of Phil Fish.

I don't think this guy knows what "quirky" means. There's a big fucking difference between being eccentric and outspoken and just being a plain asshole who can't take criticism.

Can you explain the joke for me please?

Cyber bullying

 

[evdk]

And amazing game.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

More like a human butthole was destroyed in the process.

Because every stupid argument goes when you wanna shit on something for Kodex Kool Points?

I don't get it. Phil, you just described every single western game from the last 10 years.

[Athelas]

What can change the nature of a shitty pretentious indie hipster developer?

So a bunch of indie devs being smug about the "major" impact their games made on the industry. So why does people question the cyber bullying that occurs to these indie devs like Phil?

 

[Drakron]

Actually if you want anything new done, its Indy because publishers only care about sequels and IPs and the same shit we seen before.

Problem is, indy are just experimental and they likely lack the experience to make the game work or their impact is trying to add new things without their games being actually known for it.

As for for this ... he raged-quit, likely his personality but from what I read he was baited into doing it, he called that guy a "middle aged parasite" and ... well they are, gaming journalists became nothing but a extension of the publisher marketing department and willing ones at that, mind you Beer apparent baited him because Fish was vocal on Microsoft self-publishing and became silent, Fish might had deserved it but this didnt happened without outside help and his poor public behavior come from someone else also poor public behavior.

Fuck you haterz, Fez is the Citizen Kane of platform games.
