I was hoping for some trippy glitchy nightmare horror game. This feels more like that prosperity path game...
Before I entered this video, I was also hoping the same thing as well. Alas, it's "hippy dippy bullshit".
one hundred to hype reduction.
Alanna Nikol I wasn't expecting that in this stream because I played it before watching Vinny play it, but when I originally played it I was partially hoping for that too because I hadn't read anything about it before.
Adam Ziakh I guess if you played the game before you kinda knew what it had, although it seems rather disappointing.
There really aren't any choices in this game, unfortunately. You do pick up the same people every time, they say the same things, and your choices really don't matter. The hitchhikers will just ignore what you say, or reply in a single line before continuing their monologue.
So it's an interesting first experience, but you really shouldn't play it a second time. Ever. Just let it be what it was, because if you look deeper into it it's quite disappointing.
Shilag This.
It's a great idea, and seems better suited as a proof of concept for something better, but on it's own, not really THAT great.
I think that if your choices actually changed the dialogue, this would have been a whole different game. Maybe even a good game.
cornish guilt Exactly. I would've loved it "as a game" if it had say.. 6-12 hitchhikers that were randomized every run, dialogue options that actually changed the stories being told or perhaps what happened further down the road, and finally having the last choice of driving onwards or heading into the city make *some* sort of difference (no matter how minimal).
As it is, it was almost not even a game, but it was still somewhat pleasant in an eerie way.
If only they at least got angry at you if you spoke rationally
Shilag it has randomised hikers per play
Let me just spout random words related to space and time and meaningless metaphors. That's how you're deep right?
to this day I still sleep to this video on nights when my anxiety is bad. I’ll forever love the video and this game.
90% of the dialogue was straight up stolen from Carl Sagan.
Throw in one pound of pretentiousness and we have this shit...
Poe8100 It feels like the dev is one of the self-proclaimed scientists that pop up on the internet after reading or watching a little bit of Sagan-esque material. The whole thing reeks of stoner conjecture.
Poe8100 what the fuck is your avatar
@snow, it looks like a frame from the film adaption of Fantastic Mr. Fox
Definitely stoner conjecture. I'm a good for nothing stoner and I've known a couple people who never shut the fuck up with this existential nonsense.
Watching this. I get the vibe of "Welcome To Night Vale"
benracer its a LOT like night vale
For all that people don't like about this game, I really enjoyed it, and I'm glad to see people like Vinny at least giving it a little bit of exposure. I know it's not an amazing, polished experience, but it has a couple of core ideas that are really cool. If you don't mind, I'm just gonna talk a bit about what I liked.
1. It took a completely different approach to interactive stories in that it wasn't really even that interactive. (which, yeah, if you're looking for a real "gamey" game, probably comes off as pretty shitty) Throughout, much like the proverbial hitchhikers, you're really the one who's being taken along for a ride, getting to see the different passengers and hearing their stories, which all actually ask some hard questions. The only real choice you make throughout the game is the one at the very end, which I'll get to later.
2. I see a lot of people talking about how this is just another "2edgy2deep" wannabe philosophy game, but that's not really how I see it. I don't see this as a confrontational, "oh you're so dumb for thinking god exists ha ha loser" sort of thing, but rather that it just sort of assumes godlessness, and then goes on to outline how shitty that idea can be. It's basically textbook existential questions, but the way the game presents them so matter-of-factly and almost casually is actually really uncharacteristic of video games, just going ahead and assuming that the player is ready and has an open mind and all that hippie stuff.
3. The music is on-point. On the game's webpage, the creator said that this game was inspired by night drives on the highway, listening to NPR at 2 in the morning and hearing all the unusual, eerie, surreal music that they play at that time of night, and the music used in-game does great things to recreate that feeling.
4. Finally (yes this fucking block of text is almost over, congrats on making it this far), the final choice in the game. Incidentally, this is also the first real choice besides dialogue options. Throughout the entire game, you can see the two brake lights of a car in the distance in front of you; no matter how much you speed up, it constantly stays at a fixed distance. The car is never alluded to in dialogue or by any visual other than the two constant red lights, leaving the player to assign whatever value to it they want, but usually, they assume that it will become important later on, or at the end, because of the way it eludes you. Then, at the end, as seen in the video, you never do catch up to the car, but instead you have to make a choice. If you've been flooring it, you can still see the car, but if you haven't, the car disappears from view, so you don't know which way it went. Then, within the frame of about two seconds, BOOM! you have to make that choice to stay on, or exit the highway, to follow the car, or go off on your own. Every single person who I've talked to about this game said it was one of the best ways they've been forced to choose in a game before, even though the choice literally has zero meaning and is never revealed to have any even implied results. Here's why I think that choice is so cool; because instead of other games that might tell you up-front, "if you stay on the highway you get to keep playing but the car you were following is gone, but if you exit you find out what the car was" or something like that, and then it would be up to the player to take the decision from there. But in Glitchhikers, again, the choice is only presented, without any idea what the results will be, leaving it up to the player to assign any value they'd been giving to following the car or discovering new places and put those values into the choice, making it that much more natural and organic, something that a lot of other games, even great choice-making games like the Walking Dead, fail to do. It takes something that is in the end meaningless, and conditions the player throughout to assign meaning to it through repetition.
Okay, fuck. If you made it here, well done. Thanks for listening to my ramble.
and yeah, it could be said that the decision at the end says something about the player, but again, that depends on what value they assigned to the car. is the car what's making all these crazy hitchhikers appear, or is it symbolic of achieving answers, when all you've really gotten from these dialogue trees was questions?
I know, I'm starting to disappear up my own ass with pretentiousness, but I think it's really interesting.
I think a lot of these "haters" just don't have the wonder in their minds to understand it. It isn't a philosophy game, its a game that makes you just sit down and think about what the universe is like by giving you choices and giving you 'aliens'. You just need to have an open mind enough to imagine what you think the universe is, as well as what that says about you as a person.
It isn't pretentious, it's a conversation starter.
technobarry I totally agree with you, within this thing, yeah, let's call it a thing, I really didn't see much pretentiousness, it didn't seem to be trying to shovel things down your throat, I applaud this game for nailing it's atmosphere, because if people were actually keeping their minds open, they could see that every character wasn't just spouting pretentious nonsense in a desperate plea for you to have some deep revelation, they were more just talking to you like the odd strangers they were, about a bigger picture and infinite possibilities etc. it's that kind of talk you just talk about... I don't know, I'm not very smart, but I know that I just kinda liked this.
'Produced by Silverstring Media Inc.'
Ah, suddenly everything makes sense.
From the comments it seems many Vinesaucers are really bitter people.
Tiztu it was a joke, The game was fucking stupid and unexpected. People just hate when games make themselves seem "deep" and "philosophical" when they are pretentious piles of shit.
CheekyScrubinator2000 I can't tell if you're trying to exemplify yourself or defend his opinion.
Jedi Knight a little bit of both, i really feel like people should leave this game be... to think about it even though it's kinda bad it still feels genuine.
CheekyScrubinator2000 So what if it is? Better than Gone Home by a long shot. Sure it was rather ass backwards and simple, but it felt less pretentious. Also less feminism.
Jedi Knight Hey, nice avatar.
I find myself coming back to this. I love the vibe. It makes me feel happy, cozy, and relaxed.
Really dug the music. Drowned from how deep this was though.
It was kind of shallow in my opinion. Just trying to seem like it's deep, but the message is basically "We're important even if we're not, enjoy the trip."
Shane McZane lol, what depth? All they did was go "hey maaaaan, look at all the staaars! We're all just specs in the universe man! *puffs joint* Woah, look at how small and unimportant everything is, that means we're all just as important!"
It was really just nonsensical gibberish from pseudo-philosophical kids that want to be deep, without having the depth of mind to actually go that deep.
It's not really vapid, just... surface-level. Boiled down to the simplest questions, the ones we all ask ourselves when we gaze at our navels, because ultimately this game is just a fairly simple navel-gazing experience. It's a simple emulation of a late-night drive on an almost-empty road, an experience that can get you thinking things you normally wouldn't think and pondering things that don't really need pondering, boiled down to a fairly linear twenty minutes of the kind that only walking simulators can rival in stretching the definition of a "game".
Ultimately, you're a victim of expectation. If you people knew you were in for a shallowly but hopefully philosophical linear experience that can only give you the impression of a transcendental experience, you might not be so annoyed by it.
Ugh this reminds me of the "uwu we are all flower gods and made of stardust, go take a tea bath u beautiful nymphette" tumblr posts
(hopes you're a girl before posting this) Been a long time since I've encountered a girl who doesn't use that abomination of a site
Ivo Robotnik lmao but I do sometimes, but mostly for anime and shit posts and shitty memes and such. its not as bad as everyone says it is for the most part. sorry to bring you false hope.
No worries, I just mean most girls are on there, and a majority go, "You're a white, straight male? Gah, how dare you exist, you chauvinist, sexist, racist, genderist monster! Burn in hell... I mean, Purgatory!" *3 seconds later* la la la la la, rainbows, galaxy patterns, pastels, aesthetics (which is using the term incorrectly, much to my chagrin).
But I understand, some blogs are really great and funny, and there are some great fandoms on there. I just usually see more bad than good from it.
Ivo Robotnik Well, I'm all for social justice. But I know how intense it can be on that site. A lot of the sj stuff they say on that site is true, but the way they handle the situations they talk about turn people off, turn people away, and they make up making fools of themselves to people out of tumblr. But theres nothing wrong with pastels and aesthetics brah ;o) Lmao.
CheekyScrubinator2000 ok chill
"Theres no memes that means its HIPPY DIPPY ARTSY BULLSHIT"
capy bara And considering Crypt Worlds
...or maybe everyone has different tastes; and just because someone doesn't like a game you do, it doesn't make them a 13 year old memester
cornish guilt No, I am compelled to make sweeping generalizations when someone disagrees with my views.
hi there He does have a valid point, though.
It's gotten even worse since chat switched to twitch. I don't know how anyone can bother reading it.
Im honestly surprised people agreed with me instead of attacking me
I like how it touched some deep subjects while still being delivered in a simple hippy fashion. I really enjoyed it.
...so far up it's own tailpipe...
haha At least Stick Shift has a sense of humour, doesn't take it self seriously (at all), is actually somewhat of a game and most importantly, wasn't made by Silverstring media - the _special snowflake_ studio.
MrWolfSnack Hey, I loved Stick Shift. And my icon proves it too.
***** I was sort of willing to give this one a chance until the line about "sonder," one of those made-up words from that insufferable collection of useless made-up words for humorless self-important sadbrains tumblr teenagers.
*****
In contrast, a word for the sort of shriek released when one's genitals are suddenly and unexpectedly perforated with a sharp object actually might be useful.
He was discussing the heat death of the universe, entropy, dying in the heart of a star, chemical equations, construction of molecules, and make up of fireworks. This was all 6 months while in grade school.
You know a game is hella serious when Vinnys starts reading the text with emotion.
I enjoyed it for the ambiance. I've always enjoyed being the passenger on long drives. Drifting down the road at speeds I can't comprehend because I can't actually feel that we're moving... So calm. Vinny's abnormal calm was also nice.
"Shower Thoughts" The game.
This game tries way too hard to be smart and philosophical that it accomplishes niether of those things and just ends up being a bore.
Electrolysis Then fuck off?
***** No.
Electrolysis lmao
pandemic confirmed hippy
***** why? it's not even game. why so defend.?
I could seriously fall asleep to this, in a good way. The humming of the drive, the calm music, reminds me of the late night trips I took as a kind wit my parents and sister, falling asleep after a fireworks show from an other town.
Sounds lovely. Memories like that shape lives, imo
CptWaddleDoo Agreed. That's a good comparison. We went on lots of car trips when I was a kid (moved around the country and drove to visit relatives), so it kind of reminds me of driving home from a visit, late at night, when we've been on the road for hours and are ready for sleep. Since nothing "dangerous" happens (no bad guys or anything), it's got a calm comfort to it. =)
Erm…in general, falling asleep while driving is a terrible idea…
It looks like a walking simulator except without walking.
r/atheism: The Game
More like /r/philosophy, considering they basically ignore you if you say there's no god and "2deep4u it was a metaphor lol". Both are cancerous, though
Spartanhero613 I occasionally visit r/philosophy and r/atheism but I never do anything and yes I do agree that they are both cancerous - that is if you are talking about the subreddits and not actual atheism/philosophy then I wouldn't be able to agree with you. I mastered in philosophy at college so that shows you how much I enjoy it and I don't think atheism is necessarily bad but 99.9% of people that claim to be atheists don't know anything about it. I however, am agnostic.
Yeah, I was just talking about the subreddits. Theism itself has got to be worse than both
Adam Ziakh "99.9% of people that claim to be atheists don't know anything about it."
It's 1 statement, do you believe there's a god or deity? If not then you're an atheist; really not much to it.
" I however, am agnostic."
Do you understand what you're talking about? agnosticism doesn't "sit" by itself, it's meant to be paired with theism or atheism. I personally think Gnostic atheism is quite obnoxious and presumptuous and the other side isn't much better in that respect.
If you really wanna be in the "middle",just be a deist.
I'm not trying to be mean or insulting just trying to help avoid a possible flame war that might occur from a lack of knowledge on the subject
Adam Ziakh What is there to know? There is no god or gods, no afterlife, and magic isnt real. Thats it.
tiny volcanoes and baobabs is a reference to the book The Little Prince.
Too bad that absolutely nothing matters in this game.
like driving irl
Deachuu Except you're driving for a reason, you're going somewhere. This game has neither.
Maximemoring sometimes i drive for no reason and ram into everything i see
Maximemoring But, if I ever get angry or stressed or even worried I'll go for about a two hour long drive to cleanse my mind.
People take this game way too seriously, more seriously than the game takes itself. Just sit back and take in the aesthetic, don't overthink it.
The radio is like Welcome To Night Vale but not quite.
Its like Cecil in a way 0~0
I AM GAMUR
I HATE ART
MUST PLAY DARK SOULS TO CLEANSE BRAIN OF PASSIONATE EXPRESSION
GAMEPLAY AND FRAMERATE ONLY THING THAT MATTER IN LIFE
A brief summary of the comments on this video.
Rogueofmv
Yeah real great "Art"
There's nothing wrong with Art, but when its so far up its own ass that it either has to explain to you why it's deep, or you have to interpret why it's deep, because it's just that abstract.
Because then it's not art. Art doesn't need to explain itself, because the art itself should be explanation enough.
Also, even if it is art, then it's not a game. Games imply a level of difficulty or some sort of active involvement, whereas the choices in this game are entirely inconclusive. I would call it an interactive short story.
KrypXern
"its so far up its own ass"
Nothing about Glitchhikers is all that deep, nor does it try to be. The graphics are unconventionally stylized (likely inspired by currently trendy aesthetics), the characters are comfortably quirky, and the dialogue is like a chat you might have with a friend on the porch over a beer and a couple cigarettes. It's nothing that's meant to be taken at face value. It's an overall mild and down-to-earth experience by video game standards. People calling shit like this "deep" just because it's not common to storytelling in interactive computer entertainment is simply immature and closed-minded.
"it's not art"
I see other people comparing this to the Prosperity Path games. Those are clinically batshit insane by any standard. They have no rhyme or reason to their structure, they're just slapped-together pieces of mismatched puzzles. And they appear to only have been made to sell units and make the creator some money. Those games may not be considered art. This, on the other hand, was a labor of love. The creators went into it with a definite idea, put their heart into it, and ended up with just what they wanted to express. I'm pretty sure that's what art's about. Stop trying to pretend your definition of art is THE definition of art. Now that is actually pretentious.
"it's not a game"
It never claims to be (in its own words; the press describes it as a "game", probably more out of convenience than anything), and from a purist viewpoint, I'd agree that it is not. I would call it an interactive short story as well. But why get up in arms about it "not being a game"? Not only is no one forcing you to play it, but if you decide to, it's FREE, so there should be no remorse (especially now that you've essentially seen the whole thing through this video).
I'm not saying Glitchhikers is my cup of tea, but the regressive nature of the comments on this video (and others I've seen in the same vein) are just disgusting to me, as someone who has an appreciation for contemporary art.
Rogueofmv It's unfortunately clear that a great many viewers of Vinesauce have never experienced the joy of just discussing total bullshit without a single thought with total strangers under the night sky with some cold brew.
They completely don't understand the concept of just talking bullshit with a random person you just met.
'Must play dark souls to clear my brain of passionate expression'
You mean the game that, in itself, is a work of art? Both the haunting landscapes and lack of companionship give the sense that you're something bigger, part of a story you don't understand and that is just out of reach. For me, that's art.
Rogueofmv
I'm literally choking on the condescension, oh intellectual one
Of course Vinny like this hippy dippy bullshit, he likes Pink Floyd and Jim Morrison.
What's so bad about Pink Floyd? :3
Riley O'Steen Nothing, it's just that it was called "Hippy music" as it was around in the mid 70s and most of the band members were high all the time.
***** Jesus Christ, it was just a joke, I wasn't saying Pink Floyd was full of loner druggies
I'm not really sure this is a "hippy-dippy" game...
***** Lol but Jim Morrison and alcohol...
Does the first person you pick up always have a jay? because that would explain a lot
So, how is this a game again? Everything happens almost automatically, and the things you choose to say don't seem to have any effect on the outcome.
But hey, they're talking about SPACE! Obviously they're deeper than you and I! 10/10!
It's about as much a game as a walking simulator like Dear Esther, which is to say it is a game in name only. But really, what else do you call this sort of thing? Calling it an "experience" feels too pretentious to me.
Pseudo-philosophy at its finest?
Yep
I haven't tripped this hard since the worlds stream
i like its art style
i dont like the "hippie bullshit" though
ok u do better
This is a profoundly beautiful game... I love it...
I find this better than the full game version.
This is like Welcome To Nightvale type shit. I keep expecting the radio to say "and now, the weather."
I quite like the atmosphere in this game, there's just something about being on a motorway late at night with more of the weird shit appearing on the radio that's just appealing, it gives you time to think and shit.
The dialogue was kinda pretentious tho.
Boring, pretentious, noise. No substance or anything that could, or rather should change your view on anything.
This game's beliefs remind me of my agnostic friend (not speaking of other agnostics out there) who just rattles off about things that don't make sense and are contradictory, but he believes he's the smartest guy on planet Earth. I personally think philosophy can lose people, or rather, opens a path for them to lose themselves.
Whatever the case, this game failed to sway my thoughts on anything.
I r8 -8/b8 m8
The pretentiousness is making my eyes water
Okay, so apparently this is pretentious, it's stuck in it's own little world and trying to be super deep, apparently pretty bad if we're going off of the comment section. Honestly through all the "Dippy Dippy Bullshit" I enjoyed it, I liked it's sense of individualism, it nailed what I could see as a good drive, it's an escapist experience, but not intense enough for you to not get locked in your own thoughts. I don't know it kind of just felt natural to me...
This comment section is mildly upsetting. I mean, free speech is free speech, and they're allowed to say whatever they want, and I respect that but...c'mon, this game is really pretty. The atmosphere and music was dynamite, at least I found it to be so. Can't we just enjoy it for that?
I personally didn't mind the game. It kept me interested. Sure it wasn't the best of games but it certainly wasn't the worst. But then again, I'm one of those people that don't complain about much. Also, I liked the music.
You know, I liked this game. It was nice to just, literally, enjoy the ride. And for the people who hated it, you have to at least admit that this hippie-dippie bullshit had a nice soundtrack.
The atmosphere of this game reminds me of the game Off Peak a little bit but without the beautiful music , wide environment, in depth interaction and stuff.
This reminds me of the episode "a story about you" from Welcome to Night Vale.
I liked it. For all of it's downfalls, I think this game is cool. Even if it is just hippie-dippie bullshit.
Well, there are even people who like Nazis, so its a statistical certainty that there will be losers who liked this game
@@lingricen8077eat a snickers bar
@@tjlnintendo why?
This wasn't as bad as people said, I got quite the laugh from this.
Gotta love these pretentious games that just spew nonsense trying to convey a sense of intelligence and deeper meaning. What a snore-fest.
That 2001: a Space Odyssey novel reference at 10:40. (My god, its full of stars)
I somewhat enjoyed this game. I love looking out into the sky and wondering what's going on out there.
Hello 301 viewer club!
I can't tell if the dialogue is pretentious or if they wrote it while high
Nice music, though
i had a religious experience when i saw vinny streaming it
oh, the little prince's planet was overtaken by the trees... that's too bad
Don't you just hate it when random high hitchhikers teleport in your car?
This reminds me a lot of the podcast Welcome to Night Vale.
BRBhorror You're not the only one who thought that extreme Midna fan thought that too
*****
It's like this could be the highway TO Night Vale now that I think about it.
lol in the twitch chat everyone was saying
SONG NAME? at 18:40
i saw this game and thought this was another shitty joke game
but
holy christ, its like kentucky route zero mixed with euro truck simulator, i love it
a lot of people're claiming its pretentious as fuck, and i've played a fair few 'pretentious as fuck' games, but i kind of view this more as a visual short story: you can't change anything in the game, yes, but theres a really great atmosphere and story about it
its mean't to be a short experience and is misinterpreted as something you 'play,' which is why people're unfortunately getting up in arms about it being pointless and pretentious
Finally a smart game for smart gamers! :^)
This game has literally tons of atheism in it. Did you even see the dialogue options? It's like the driver was as atheist as Bill Nye.
He was so eager to disprove a god, as well.
Corrupt Soul Finally a le smart game for le smart gamers! *tips fedora*
Marjar Im Smerter den u
Tuuc le Tuuc Indeed, m'lady. *double tips*
Like driving thru Nevada at night. This game gives me the chills.
MY GOD IT'S FULL OF STARS!
I loved this. Really relaxing.
This game reminds me of Sluggish Morss ad infinitum...for some reason
At 9:52, if he had selected option 2, it would have been an amazing intertwine with the other hitchhiker's childhood story. Dammit now I need to go play the game myself to see what happens if you select that option.
Ah the second type of indie game, next to the poorly built wacky nonsensical barely playable stuff, the limited interaction, surreal/narrative game.
I saw some people in the comments saying that games like this aren't "real" games. Granted, the game doesn't tell you what your goals and objectives are, and user input is somewhat limited, but if those are your qualifications for what a game is, then that is really unnecessarily limiting to the medium as an art form. This game asks questions, which the player then has to answer, both as a character in the game and in real life. That is what makes this game a piece of art: the fact that it forces the player to think and question something in a way that they otherwise might not have. The ending was my favorite part, where you can see the city on the left, and are given an option to either end your journey by taking the exit, or continuing on the road. Without explicitly telling you the consequences of your decision, it's really telling the player about their own mentality. Subtlety like that is really lacking in games, and most games that try to emulate that kind of subtlety end up either failing or being cringe-worthily pretentious, so I'm really happy that this game exists. Also, 10/10 for Carl Sagan.
TheLastAdvacado You're forgeting one factor that makes a game, the risk of losing or the risk of death, and with all of those factors it would be considered a game.
I'm the kind of person who agrees that videogames can be artistic, however they're good ways in delivering the meaning, and that will depend on the dev.
Although I'm okay with videogames like this to exist. Because they offer a different experience, but not when it's just games like succulent, where the dev tries to critisize the desired gay male body and not accepting other types of gay bodies, but it ends up being a game of a musical videoesque guy sucking a lolipop. At least glitchhikers tries to do something and last a while longer.
assholemon That's true, and I think that we currently lack a true definition of what makes a video game, so there is room for interpretation within the colloquial understanding what a video game "is". That being said, you still refer to this as being a video game in your statement, and that to me shows that, whatever we might think about what video games are on a conscious level, we still classify this as a video game. I'm not even sure what I would call this game if I didn't consider it a video game. Interactive movie? Interactive experience (pretentious, bleh)? I guess what I'm trying to say is that any conditions we attach to what a video game *is* will just be arbitrary (needs a stated objective, needs win/loss scenarios, needs anatagonist/s, etc.) until there is a clear definition for what this medium is and fully explore what it can accomplish, which could be a long time. In the mean time, any video-based medium that incorporates interactivity is a video game, at least to to me.
half of the video game population don't like "presentation games" they don't like the idea of enjoying a ride...you know...like a car ride...
Getting vibes from Another Light album from this... i think this may have influenced him more than expected...
I don't know if I like this game, because its odd and interesting, or if I don't like it because the dialogue, which makes the game, is so pretentious.
This is like WTNV: The Game.
Relaxing Shower Thoughts: the video game
The radio DJ is like a very boring uninspired Cecil from Welcome to Night Vale.
I think I understand it all now. We all float about like dust mites. Shadows in front of a mirror. Does it even matter? It all ends sooner or later.
Relaxing game.
holy shit i didn't know he played this
this was one of the best games i've played in a while honestly
everything is infinity and we only know
2deep wow very thought provoking
Existential Crisis: The Game
Chat loved this last night.. I kind of agree with the people who say it was pretentious, honestly.
Hey Skullgirls!
Also, I don't think pretentious is quite right, more like, "forceful", or "wishy washy". It sucks at what it's trying to do, people who are moved by pill bugs amassing under rocks are the ones praising the game; they are boring and think listening to this stuff makes them smart. At least, that's how I feel.
Btw, which girl is your fav?
Ivo Robotnik Yeah you're right. Better description.
Cerebella is my favorite (predictably). She's great and deserves better from her life, damn it!
.,.
Lol, I feel Cerebella deserves everything she gets, as she literally gets anything she wants being a mob girl, and she kills poor Ms. Fortune over something stupid. Even after all this, she gets the ONLY good ending (besides Beowulf, Big Band, and Peacock) while more pure characters get awful endings. (but like her if you want she has cool design and nice hair, besides a cool weapon)
My favorite is Valentine; I mean, who doesn't love ninjas? Even still, she's also sassy, clever, has a great design and a cool nurse theme, and is totally decisive.
She needs a better life I feel, as she was forced to create monstrosities like Painwheel under Brain Drain's command, lost all her long-term friends and partners in battle at once, then was forced to kill her old colleagues in the lab by the people who killed her friends, and finally had to sacrifice herself to apologize to Painwheel for her wrong-doings, as it was the only way to end the Skull Heart's influence once and for all. She's pretty much the floor mat of the world, but she doesn't let that hold her down, and still saves the day despite being considered evil. Plus, those blockbusters doe. :3
Ivo Robotnik No, she deserves better because she's naive but is sweet inside. She doesn't know what she needs and that's why I feel bad for her. And she killed fortune because she threatened the mafia and that is ALL she has in her life. You can see it start to fuck her up on the last still. This is going to eat away at her- that's no good ending whatsoever. She fucked up and she starts to realize that. Her "family" wasn't worth it.
The way I sum up Cerebella- not her fault. I have 100% confidence that all your points are moot, honestly. I've yet to see any good arguments against her either. And yeah, a big reason why I like her is because of her awesome design, colors, and kickass attitude. Looking past her flaws of being naive. I also think that in many "potential futures" she would able to get away from that life.
Valentine probably deserves a better life too but if you're going to inquire, I can give my honest opinion too. Her design reminds me of a sexy halloween nurse costume and nothing less. Not a bad character, but that's totally uninspired IMO. But no hard feelings mate.
If I pissed ya off, I apologize, that wasn't my intention. I don't think Cerebella is the worst thing to happen to society or anything. I can kind of see your points about her life, and how that would be bad. I just always got the impression she'd just shrug it off at the end and reassure herself that she was ok. In the end, I'd sum it up as this: "Not her fault, but she still has to live with her choices." I feel that way for all the characters, even Valentine, who killed Avian, "father" of Peacock and Big Band, and destroyed their home.
I just find it cool that in Valentine's story, she discloses that when she did attack the lab, she planted research and documents about Skullgirl behavior and weaknesses, so she tried to make up for her wrongdoings.
Also, I guess you're right, her design isn't wild, crazy or much new. I just think it's neat how her moves coincide with her design, like her leg crosses used to cut the enemy, and I feel her outfit just looks really solid.

A little pretentious, but thoroughly engrossing. Nice pick, Vinny!
I liked the music
chill game. nice to listen to when im sleepy and its late.
I really like when you play games likes this
This game just looks like its trying to be deep but not.....ugh its just so hippy dippy
Take out the music and this game would pretty much have nothing going for it.
This was awesome tbh.
Your voice reminds me of someone I went to college with... Roey Hershkovitz. Worked for both WCWP and Conan O'Brian.
This reminds me of Welcome To NightVale
Blood dragon tho.
So is "pretentious" the new buzzword now?
I think this would be a great game to play under the influence of something but otherwise after playing it once you got your experience. I don't think there's much more to get out of it.
Silverstring Media... Why does that name signs familiar?
Nick Shomos It's a consultancy company of sorts for indie developers. Anita Sarkeesian and Jonathan McIntosh are advisers for that company.
MookieMog so in other words its a company for hipsters?
criticaldrive97 Yup!
If this is what our government is pushing then God help us
I finnaly found this video!
Athiest Philosophy : The video game
welp liked it for what it was but thats it.
when vinny said it had more hikers and that your choices matter i thought that that was actually nice but apparently its always the same and theres no choices whatsoever.
i think this could have been somewhat good if it had those things ,way more interactive stuff ,maybe a lot of random events and not every hiker with the philosophical dialogue.
First and I don't have time to watch the vid right now. I'll watch it tomorrow when I wake!
***** dank
U WEAK !!
WHEN VINNY UPLOADS.
WATCH. OR. DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE >:c
i was so stresed but this vid helped me thx
hehe no
Watch Too cute, that eases the mind right on up
Reminds me of Phillip K Dick's story , or biography , Valis
I can only imagine how the conference with the creators went for this piece of shit.
"Alright, take off your fedoras everybody. I have an idea: let's make a game where we spout shit about stars and stuff to make it sound like we're being deep."
"Should we also put the illusion of choice in there as well?"
"Why not? Don't forget to give it shitty polygonal graphics to fool people into thinking we were going for a minimalist aesthetic."
