That’s a smart man right [REDACTED]. I think we both know who beat Bennet Foddy at his own game, and well everyone who resisted the urge to plague [Either their, there, or they’s are] steam library with something so revolting.
This whole game is like saying "If you shove a red hot piece of barbed wire up your urethra and keep it up there for 3 weeks, I'll give you a coupon for 5% off onions."
Hard games aren’t a problem, take the souls/borne games for example: they are hard because they are based on tactics and skill. This game is just hard because it’s frustrating and not enjoyable
Thomas Wightman the souls games are cheap pieces of shit. Most of the challenge is from the crap controls, enemies jumping you from behind and the lack of checkpoints
Rayza NC I can only use bloodborne for this argument but I personally didn’t find it unfair , yes enemies are tough and you can die to cheap deaths but I can’t tell you the satisfaction I felt when I defeated the bosses after numerous deaths, the challenge motivated me to win

This game is definitely worth remembering for it's intentionally frustrating design, but I don't think it's worthy of all the praise it got back then. It's a funny rage game with interesting narration, not a masterpiece.
And he said multiple times that it wasn't an inherently bad game, and that the only reason it was even on the list was due to the culture currently surrounding it. IMO it seems super hypocritical how he despised GOI while Undertale suffered the exact same exposure effect and he praised Undertale for being the game that it was, while dismissing GOI because he couldn't get past the hype.
"I like Jirad but he seems to be a hipster who hates on things that are popular and loves things that aren't." The fuck? That's not Jirard at all xdddd And the thing about Undertale, is that it was a good game despite the fanbase, GOI however...
"A hipster who hates on things that are popular and loves things that aren't." Yeah, that's why he loved Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild, really unpopular games...
Honestly I strongly dislike rage or frustration based games. If the main goal of the game is to frustrate me and make me angry then it has fundamentally failed at its job as entertainment. It doesn't matter how satisfying getting to the end is if the entire journey was nothing but misery. Like i like Octodad but like Caddy said it has a charming story with fun characters, on point jokes etc, and it's frustration in controls is part of the joke of the story. It can be frustrating but its not the main point of the game. This game honestly seems like a game no one would give a shit about if it didnt have some big youtubers playing it. It's something funny to watch someone get frustrated over a bit but that seems to be the end of it in regards to its popularity. :/
Just a question: Do you like horror games? Even though I've never played this, and probably never will, I think it's interesting that people seem split on rage games as a whole mostly due to the fact that the entire point is to elicit a negative response. Horror games do the same, but generally don't catch this much flack. Is the only difference really how the games of each genre control, or does it have more to do with the emotions tied to them: anger vs. fear?
KidKatastrophe2314 It has a lot to do with the goals they set. In rage games, after finishing them, you'll still hate the game, and you will most likely only feel stressed after finishing it. In horror games, after finishing it, you feel accomplished that you got through it all, that you didn't quit the game in fear or shock. And in the end, you'll enjoy the experience.
And creators of rage games seem to forget that the granddaddy of the genre, I Wanna Be The Guy, wasn't merely a rage-inducing challenge; it was also hilarious seeing all the unexpected and ridiculously contrived ways that the game screwed you over.
Rage game like this are only good when people watch someone to play it, that's why many lets player played it. That's also the reason why this game is super popular. And yea no, some people like rage games too. To some people it like you and me, this game make us mad, but to some other they feel the accomplishment for beating it. Just imagine, how many hours a speedrunner spend his time on this game. If that's not dedication and passion i dunno what's it.
I agree 100%. I bought the game, played for 45 seconds, and got a refund immediately when I realized that it had intentional mouse acceleration and input lag just for the sake of making it frustrating.
Turning on trackpad tuning (an option in the options menu, there's only like 7 optinos so it's pretty hard to miss) disables the mouse acceleration. No idea why you think it has input lag.
I think the real way to "get over it" is to not play this game. Gamers get sucked into challenges and try to beat them no matter how many attempts it takes because they want to feel the satisfaction of beating it as well as the in game rewards you get for progressing. This game takes advantage of that, like Caddicarus said, and gives you a challenge but doesn't reward you at all for beating it. I think a bigger challenge is being able to walk away from something for good and never come back to it rather than being tempted to play it again and getting more angry over it. Even the game's dialogue is anti-video game because it pretty much calls pop culture trash. The game developer acts like he doesn't care about video games, but then charges you to play the games he makes anyways. So he actually does care and this review is probably pretty scathing for him because he thought people would love it. They do, but it needs some work. Next time, he needs to try to make it more like Octo-Dad. Make it silly and happy go lucky and people won't feel as cheated as the narrator just being a prick to them.
The difference is that TSP's Narrator is really funny, and ties into the game's theme of Stanley being expected to do what he's told. This one is just there to mock you for not winning at an intentionally poorly-made game--
It wasn't done in a humorous way though. I have to assume that's his natural voice, so you're saying he's copying someone because he's commentating over the game he made. He's not even a narrator. Correlation does not equal causality.
Fun fact in the end credits he gives thanks to Davey Wreden who created The Stanley Parable though he was thanking him for making it's spiritual successor The Beginner's Guide.

100% accurate. You also forgot Caddy, that the game LITERALLY has the worst mouse acceleration that you can't turn off without losing 95% of your total sensitivity, and honestly the game is overwhelmingly terrible on gamepad imo. It's doable on mouse, but just... no. It's the most overrated game in all of gaming history, I personally have a massive vendetta against it. It's... perhaps a bit unhealthy.

Yeah,,getting over it,a shitty game with terrible controls,got recommended over masterpieces such as the last of us,bloodborne,super meat boy,and Uncharted 4.
Caddicarus!!! Thanks for not being another empty sheep! All your criticisms are spot on and OBVIOUS. The fact that the issues, community and product wise, are not the main topic in more circles does not bode well for Gaming Culture : /
The destruction of the individual under the guise of benevolence and enlightenment repurposed and translated into mediums and the importance of the Meta in terms of the analysis and participation with that medium in the context of Western Culture.
@@pink1200 Know I'm 2 years late, but the dude basically saying that games made to make you rage are shit enough, but then them mocking you for losing in the game that is purposely shit under the disguise of being "woke" is just shit.
If you're incredibly pretentious, hate yourself, and have absolutely nothing interesting or rewarding in your life, then this will be the game of the century for you. Thanks for piercing through the veil of overblown hype and giving a frank, reasonable opinion on this game, Caddy.
+ Cinnamon Noir I agree with everything you said. It's like people forget that there are plenty of other hard, and even frustrating games, that have way more substance and entertainment value than this.
why some people find it entertaining and others don't is because entertainment is subjective and while some people can ignore the flaws of the game the same flaws will ruin the game for others is that a good enough reason
I feel like if any game deserves a "You quit the hard game and that means the creator won", it's a game where the primary philosophy (and draw) of the game is the fact that it's based around the nature of difficulty in games and how far players will go for the sake of a challenge.
There's challenge, there's tough as nails, there's kaizo difficulty, and then there's this bullshit. This is like those stupid troll levels in Mario Maker that kill you and then spam the laugh effect.
@@mythicalthings1796 exactly. The thing about FromSoft games is that they're never hard for the sake of being hard, and the difficulty is never the sole point of the games. They are incredibly detailed, have amazing lore and soundtrack, are extremely fun to play and the games are never once condescending to the player or anyone else. The difficulty just happens to be a part of it, maybe even a core one, but it's still a part of it. It's always fair (except maybe for Bed of Chaos but we don't talk about that.) The controls work, and are as least frustrating as humanly possible. Dark Souls never throws you back in the Northern Undead Asylum and forces you to go through the entire game again if you die to the final boss. Getting Over It does exactly that, in its own way. FromSoft want people to enjoy their games. They want them to have fun. Bennett Foddy just wants people to hate themselves and his game because "commentary", I guess. EDIT: edited for more clarity
@@mayhare9754 ... You realize I was agreeing with you, right? I said DS1-3, Bloodborne, and Sekiro are hard games that reward you for the challenge in that you get better and are able to achieve more as you progress if you are willing to learn cause they are built with love and care, very rarely are they ever bad in design or control. Sure it happens but it's not like what Foddy is doing.
Getting Over It is like Waiting for Godot. If you're not up for what it's giving then it's not for you, if you are up for it then it's probably one of the best things you'll ever digest.
Dorris Adrian it's not the jumping, it's the bullet hell feel of the bosses and the fact that there's not much freedom to change play style. The constant attacking and wacky art style just end up confusing me visually and I just get overwhelmed. It feels like trial and error more than skill.
Matthew simpson plain and simple, it's not your game and now you're blaming the artstyle for your lack of focus? Jeez dude don't dig your hole too far I can't see you
It's not my lack of focus, it's the game's bright colours and constant movement that sometimes I get confused on what's my projectiles and what's the boss's projectiles. I could probably get used to it, but I just find it more frustrating than fun. You don't need to be a smug asshole about by the way. It's just my unpopular opinion about one popular game.
Actually I have not heard anyone saying that this is a good game. Its a funny game, yes. Very frustrating, oh heck yes. But thats about it. The fun begins when you watch youtubers like Pewdiepie or Markiplier play it and rage over it (I especially enjoyed the transformation of Pewdiepie from swedish boi to crazy hammer swinging climber).
well there's the screenshots from this video showing top 10 lists on gaming sites and then snowman gamings "good game design" video on it, that's all i've seen of the games praises.
its an on running joke in his video for him to hold controllers for games he is not playing. For example in a lot of his videos you can see him holding an n64 controller when he is reviewing a ps1 game
He himself says that. Though I, as someone who doesn't really get easily frustrated and kinda enjoys these types of games it isn't bad. The levels of praise is way over the top in some places and the cost is a little much still but it's not that bad of a game, just a very niche target audience.
So this game has Kaizo Mario syndrome?(Being overly difficult for the sake of being overly difficult. And relies more on trial and error, instead of legitamate challenge?)
So you hated Bennet Foddy's Stockolm Syndrome Generator? And didn't succumb to his shit? Good. That's all that it is for anyone that has anything positive to say about him and this "game". Want a difficult game that actually feels rewarding to overcome? Get Cuphead; get the Dark Souls games; get Bloodborne; get any bullet hell game (DoDonPachi, Ikaruga, fucking Touhou) but not this exercise in psychological manipulation.
If you want a really want a mountain climbing simulator that's frustrating but FUN, get Celeste. Charming story, tight controls, and awesome level design. Nice that you showed a bit of it at the end. Are you gonna do that next, Daddy Caddy?
Clay Ayers The fuck does Celeste have anything to do here? The only thing they have in common is the fact that it’s on a mountain. Everything else is different.
Clay Ayers The gameplay of GOI is different to what Celeste is. Celeste IS miles better, but GOI isn’t bad in terms of what it’s trying to do. Is it great? No, but that’s not an excuse to call it bad.
I actually really like this game but I can see where you’re coming from. I found the commentary in the game very relaxing and after awhile I didn’t get angry when I fell down. It seems impossible at first, for my first time beating the game it took me 12 hours but the second time it took me 50 minutes. That’s what I love about the game, I could see myself getting better at it after som time.
As someone who has no intention of ever playing this game in favor of those that do dificulty right, I looked up the ending myself: All that you get at the end of the game after being asked if you're livestreaming is access to a chatroom where you can communicate with fellow "winners". Because that's worth the price of admission, right? At least demos for Ninja Theory souls likes give you cool gear for beating them
You get a stinking chat room with people who beat the game and the creator if you finish Getting Over It. I do not care if you get mad, foddy deserves it, asking us to do something for him after the teeth grinding infuriation he created.
Retro8bit I mean downloading Discord and joining a server or going outside are both much less painful ways of achieving the same thing, but if you wish to make everything in your life as painful as possible then go ahead.
tbh this seemed like one of those "only fun when you watch someone else play" style games. the game being a awkward mess that you wanna give up on is the whole point and no random poetic quotes about not giving up changes that.
Bennet Foddy simply achieved his goal. And his goal was to polarize a community with an artsy concept but no deeper meaning than simply getting over it. Nobody got over it. That's the point.
Fuck that point in its entirety. In the end, nobody is better off, the developer comes across as horribly pretentious, and you just leave with a bad taste in your mouth.
In his website, Bennet Foddy said that the game's purpose is to hurt someone, so the game is either the game of the year where he achieved the game's core message flawlessly, creating a weapon of mass distruction, or the worst game of the century because the core message itself defeats the reason of the existence of video games------to have fun.
I personally found enjoyment and satisfaction with the game. Sure, getting from point A to point B may take an hour the first time and it sucks to fall back to point A, but I felt myself getting better each time. I remember taking multiple hours getting to the orange on the grill part, and I literally fell back to the beginning of the game. BUT getting back only took around 20-30 minutes and it felt great demolishing the segments that once gave me a lot of trouble. It does require a lot of patience though, and its completely understandable why someone would consider that a bad thing. you shouldnt have to have patience with the CONTROLS. So I see what youre saying, Caddy. I just had a different experience.
I don't really understand the audience for games that intentionally have really, really shitty controls... Why would you prefer this to a hard game with good controls? Bad controls makes the game feel bad to play to me.
I have no real idea what anyone means by bad controls, considering I beat it in around 3 to 4 hours with only slightly less sensitivity than normal. I too also fell down a few times and I could tell that I learned how the physics and controls worked based on how quickly I made it back up to where I fell at first.
I was gifted Getting Over It for Christmas because it was on my wishlist. I can honestly enjoy some wacky physics games sometimes and I don't tend to get angry at games very often at all, so I do think I'll genuinely enjoy it most of the time. That said, I have yet to play it, because it also seems like a game that is more fun to play on a stream than by yourself. At least then you have someone who's enjoying your pain and someone to drive you forward again.
Some say this is a game for masochists. Look, I play bullet hell games all day. I play hard games for FUN. This game just isn't fun, so I have no drive to continue in the same way as Dark Souls, Cuphead, or any Bullet Hell.
I do have to agree with him. It's not that great of a game. It's sole purpose it seems is meant to troll people while putting up a pretentious front of being "artistic". It's the equivalent of putting a toilet in an art gallery and calling it "Art". -__-
Idk, I honestly really like this game. The calm, jazzy aesthetic that the narrator brings helps me feel a little better about falling down than I would without it. A big theme is trying to get up again and again, not letting your mistakes get to you and being patient. It genuinely is a fun time for me, though that may be because I really enjoy hard games like this.
Marquis Payden Mostly the stupidly hard difficulty having no satisfying payoff all to hurt the audience, the shoddy presentation and controls (which I’m pretty sure are intentionally frustrating) and the excessive droning on about philosophical bollocks all to make the creator seem higher and better than the players.
Wait, seriously? This is getting praised as one of the best games of 2017? The game was funny the first time and quickly became boring, it's a rage game for gods sake, did people worship I am bread? no. Did people worship Surgeon Simulator? no. So what's different about this fucking game? It has the messy controls and physics of both other games, so what's different about this?
I mean, at least I Am Bread and Surgeon Simulator are funny. Getting Over It is just some guy being condescending to you while you play some broken, frustrating shit. The only funny thing about this game is watching someone else play it and rage, and that's the only reason it ever got popular in the first place.
If I ever wanted to buy pain, I'd get any of the soulsborne games. They're fun, rewarding, with solid controls (for the most part) and the bullshit doesn't make the game unplayable... for the most part.
Game is pretty fun imo. Like a condensed Dark Souls experience. If it's only about getting presented with difficult challenges and you have to get better to overcome them.
I remember saying “fuck this game” on Reddit and someone was like “you obviously didn’t get the message.” Like, I got it. It’s just a stupid game. It subjects you to all that anger and stress for no real reason and then acts all like “oh, you gotta learn to persevere” No. It’s just subjecting yourself to so much anger and stress, taking time off your life, pissing you off. It’s one of those games that is purposefully shitty and impossible and acts like it’s all artsy and deep. With better balance, it could be interesting and what it was going for, but as is..... fuck this game!
I don't get why people would assume that people who didn't enjoy Getting Over It aren't into novelty, or are just weak. And I say this as someone who sunk like 25 hours into the game and really liked it. Getting Over It's release trailer itself makes it clear - "I made this game for a very specific kind of person. To hurt them." It's not for everyone, and a lot of people won't like it.
Cloud Strife I'm sure he doesn't need to blow off steam, he's quite happy from the numbing agony and anguish caused from the game he has brought forth to piss off more people than flappy bird

@@mrmasterball217 oooooohhhhh sorry, i didn't know there was a game called hollow knight. Also shovel knight is also a masterpiece
Yeah,,getting over it,a shitty game with terrible controls,got recommended over masterpieces such as the last of us,bloodborne,super meat boy,and Uncharted 4.
Ok seriously the way caddy says "sin" instead of seen is charming!! Also loving the intro!!
*theres a difference between a fun challenge and blatantly annoying*
Caddicarus!!! Thanks for not being another empty sheep! All your criticisms are spot on and OBVIOUS. The fact that the issues, community and product wise, are not the main topic in more circles does not bode well for Gaming Culture : /
GammaCatch What.
Are you talking about?
The destruction of the individual under the guise of benevolence and enlightenment repurposed and translated into mediums and the importance of the Meta in terms of the analysis and participation with that medium in the context of Western Culture.
GammaCatch layman's terms please.
@@pink1200 Know I'm 2 years late, but the dude basically saying that games made to make you rage are shit enough, but then them mocking you for losing in the game that is purposely shit under the disguise of being "woke" is just shit.
I never understood what the mass appeal to this game was and that alone makes me happy I never jumped into the bandwagon
Sanic 5515 I think it was watching people rage to it
You're probably right
Haha yeah, they must just be hanging onto to popular stuff, there's no way it could be an actually good game.
Hu Man Haha yeah why express yourself over something you don't like that's just cheesedick amirirte guys
it's one of those games where watching it is the only way you should interact with it. Like Markiplier or Play Pals
If you're incredibly pretentious, hate yourself, and have absolutely nothing interesting or rewarding in your life, then this will be the game of the century for you.
Thanks for piercing through the veil of overblown hype and giving a frank, reasonable opinion on this game, Caddy.
A frank reasonable opinion with no examples, no evidence, and no clout.
OH MAN BUT HE DOESNT LIKE THE GAME FEEL SO HE MUST BE RIGHT
+ Cinnamon Noir
I agree with everything you said. It's like people forget that there are plenty of other hard, and even frustrating games, that have way more substance and entertainment value than this.
The way Caddie expresses his salt rejuvenates my soul and gives me the continued strength to live.
I have never seen Markiplier rage at anything as much as this game.
I lost it when you said, "It's because of memes isn't it."
It's so true XD
I fully agree, the game is so lackluster and there's fuck all to it. How people can find it so entertaining is beyond me.
why some people find it entertaining and others don't is because entertainment is subjective and while some people can ignore the flaws of the game the same flaws will ruin the game for others
is that a good enough reason
Only good for TH-cam videos.
Also the fact that Caddy watches PBG makes me happy
I feel like if any game deserves a "You quit the hard game and that means the creator won", it's a game where the primary philosophy (and draw) of the game is the fact that it's based around the nature of difficulty in games and how far players will go for the sake of a challenge.
Yea its basically how i feel. Games that are "crushingly hard" are there just for people that want to do something because it is hard.
Dark souls 1-3, Bloodborne, and Sekiro achieve that exact thing.
There's challenge, there's tough as nails, there's kaizo difficulty, and then there's this bullshit. This is like those stupid troll levels in Mario Maker that kill you and then spam the laugh effect.
@@mythicalthings1796 exactly. The thing about FromSoft games is that they're never hard for the sake of being hard, and the difficulty is never the sole point of the games. They are incredibly detailed, have amazing lore and soundtrack, are extremely fun to play and the games are never once condescending to the player or anyone else. The difficulty just happens to be a part of it, maybe even a core one, but it's still a part of it. It's always fair (except maybe for Bed of Chaos but we don't talk about that.) The controls work, and are as least frustrating as humanly possible. Dark Souls never throws you back in the Northern Undead Asylum and forces you to go through the entire game again if you die to the final boss. Getting Over It does exactly that, in its own way.
FromSoft want people to enjoy their games. They want them to have fun. Bennett Foddy just wants people to hate themselves and his game because "commentary", I guess.
EDIT: edited for more clarity
@@mayhare9754 ... You realize I was agreeing with you, right?
I said DS1-3, Bloodborne, and Sekiro are hard games that reward you for the challenge in that you get better and are able to achieve more as you progress if you are willing to learn cause they are built with love and care, very rarely are they ever bad in design or control. Sure it happens but it's not like what Foddy is doing.
Getting Over It is like Waiting for Godot. If you're not up for what it's giving then it's not for you, if you are up for it then it's probably one of the best things you'll ever digest.
Thank God, someone who feels the same as me!
Samantha Harris Well, I'm glad I didn't get Getting over it and instead got Cuphead
Haha yes, vindication, now you don't have to stand for your own opinions.
I didn't care much for Cuphead because I found it too hard to be fun, at least it didn't treat me like an idiot.
Matthew simpson ....git gud
Matthew simpson If Cuphead is too hard then you're just absolutely trash at platformers with challenging gameplay
Dorris Adrian it's not the jumping, it's the bullet hell feel of the bosses and the fact that there's not much freedom to change play style. The constant attacking and wacky art style just end up confusing me visually and I just get overwhelmed. It feels like trial and error more than skill.
Matthew simpson plain and simple, it's not your game and now you're blaming the artstyle for your lack of focus? Jeez dude don't dig your hole too far I can't see you
It's not my lack of focus, it's the game's bright colours and constant movement that sometimes I get confused on what's my projectiles and what's the boss's projectiles. I could probably get used to it, but I just find it more frustrating than fun. You don't need to be a smug asshole about by the way. It's just my unpopular opinion about one popular game.
Actually I have not heard anyone saying that this is a good game. Its a funny game, yes. Very frustrating, oh heck yes. But thats about it. The fun begins when you watch youtubers like Pewdiepie or Markiplier play it and rage over it (I especially enjoyed the transformation of Pewdiepie from swedish boi to crazy hammer swinging climber).
hahahaha yeah =)
Katojana Aleksielsis I thought it was a fine game. Nothing special and nothing that bad, but just a game that you may play a few times and move on.
This game is E Z
well there's the screenshots from this video showing top 10 lists on gaming sites and then snowman gamings "good game design" video on it, that's all i've seen of the games praises.
Definitely carryminitai’s reaction to goi, he broke his monitor,keyboard and green screen. It’s only fun to play once,and only once.
I honestly wonder how people speedrun this game. Those speedruns are so quick and make it look like a breeze.
I don't care that Caddy considers these videos old, or maybe bad, I still love these videos along with the new stuff
W...why did you hold a Guitar Hero Live controller?
I also hold things when I'm angry, usually tennis balls so not look like a lunatic
its an on running joke in his video for him to hold controllers for games he is not playing. For example in a lot of his videos you can see him holding an n64 controller when he is reviewing a ps1 game
Jaded{151} I SAVE EVERYTHING ASWEL Wait really?? I never noticed that lol
Ora Saikatsu neither have i. I'm gonna have to go back and watch some older episodes
"You are not the target audience. Masochists are."
Hmmm Markiplier is this true? 😂
Bennet Foddy's a great guy and all, but he's getting praise he doesn't deserve for this shit game
He himself says that. Though I, as someone who doesn't really get easily frustrated and kinda enjoys these types of games it isn't bad. The levels of praise is way over the top in some places and the cost is a little much still but it's not that bad of a game, just a very niche target audience.
0:38
Karting over it with Jim Caddy lol
2:01 JOSEPH YOU ARE *UNCLEAN!* YOU MUST *GRIND YOUR SINS AWAY!*
PB+Jeff! My pure bois!
That PB&Jeff shoutout tho
Ye.
He did want to be part of normal boots
So this game has Kaizo Mario syndrome?(Being overly difficult for the sake of being overly difficult. And relies more on trial and error, instead of legitamate challenge?)
TheArceusftw no. Kaizo mario at least had consistent controls and feel to mario.
Kiazo Mario just requires you to be good at the game and a little trial and error. Getting over it seems to be complete random bullshit.
That shot of how you played Peace Walker on PSP brought back sooooooooo many Monster Hunter memories
So you hated Bennet Foddy's Stockolm Syndrome Generator? And didn't succumb to his shit?
Good.
That's all that it is for anyone that has anything positive to say about him and this "game".
Want a difficult game that actually feels rewarding to overcome? Get Cuphead; get the Dark Souls games; get Bloodborne; get any bullet hell game (DoDonPachi, Ikaruga, fucking Touhou) but not this exercise in psychological manipulation.
If you want a really want a mountain climbing simulator that's frustrating but FUN, get Celeste. Charming story, tight controls, and awesome level design. Nice that you showed a bit of it at the end. Are you gonna do that next, Daddy Caddy?
Clay Ayers The fuck does Celeste have anything to do here? The only thing they have in common is the fact that it’s on a mountain. Everything else is different.
Buttery Bob Both have a similar premise: A mountain climbing simulator that is balls hard (Celeste is less so), but Celeste is actually fun.
Clay Ayers The gameplay of GOI is different to what Celeste is. Celeste IS miles better, but GOI isn’t bad in terms of what it’s trying to do. Is it great? No, but that’s not an excuse to call it bad.
Buttery Bob Hmmm. Good point. However, I still hope he reviews Celeste. It needs more attention.
+Clay Ayers
Game Grumps are playing Celeste, so I think it's getting a decent amount of attention.
This game has been created for the single objective to get views for youtubers who rage on it.
Nothing more and nothing less.
Honestly kinda cheeses my onions given how blatant it is, especially with Caddy saying, "how dare people give this terrible game strong attention".
Actually no it wasn't. The creator's actually heavily condescended the people who watch Getting Over It Let's Plays instead of buying it.
Doesn't really change the fact that he's still being an egotistical dickwad.
@@Obsessor23Right, got it. Bennet Foddy is still a loser.
I hate when games get popular for being bad
Daycen Greencorn I’m ok with that by when a game gets an award (or several, idk) for being popular for being bad, that’s when it pisses me off
David Cain yeah like goat sim
It's like the same way I only get attention from my parents when they yell at me for breaking windows
TheRomanNumerall or when I eat tide pods
*cough* *cough* Big Rigs: Over The World Racing *cough* *cough*
*"IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT YOU JUST NEED TO GIT GUDDDDDD!!!!!111"*
-- probably what 90% of this comment section will be.
Except no because the game isn't even slightly worth improving your skills for it.
no its more like the hate bandwagon and a dead horse
2 be hours later and the comments aren't that bad...
*YET*
Just a hate bandwagon mostly.
Bad predication; no one has said that but you.
1:03
Yep. He pretty much sums it up what this game is.
I actually really like this game but I can see where you’re coming from. I found the commentary in the game very relaxing and after awhile I didn’t get angry when I fell down. It seems impossible at first, for my first time beating the game it took me 12 hours but the second time it took me 50 minutes. That’s what I love about the game, I could see myself getting better at it after som time.
As someone who has no intention of ever playing this game in favor of those that do dificulty right, I looked up the ending myself:
All that you get at the end of the game after being asked if you're livestreaming is access to a chatroom where you can communicate with fellow "winners". Because that's worth the price of admission, right? At least demos for Ninja Theory souls likes give you cool gear for beating them
4:15 Oh my gosh, 'A man is in love' by the Waterboys! I love that celtic rock band!
So your telling me this game is better than Sonic Mania...
Humanity is at its lowest again
You get a stinking chat room with people who beat the game and the creator if you finish Getting Over It.
I do not care if you get mad, foddy deserves it, asking us to do something for him after the teeth grinding infuriation he created.
absolute fucking scam.
It makes for good conversation
I don't even think foddy is in the chat anymore
Retro8bit I mean downloading Discord and joining a server or going outside are both much less painful ways of achieving the same thing, but if you wish to make everything in your life as painful as possible then go ahead.
tbh this seemed like one of those "only fun when you watch someone else play" style games. the game being a awkward mess that you wanna give up on is the whole point and no random poetic quotes about not giving up changes that.
That doesn't change the fact that it's a giant heap of garbage that should've died on arrival.
What I find most frustrating about this game is the stupid, condescending shit the narrator says to attempt to sound witty and profound.
"internet comment"
I have spent over 48 hours in this game, and I still can't get past the stupid construction site...
Vintage sonic 1 48?
48 hours really ?! you need some help man
Vintage sonic 1 how do you focus on something so mundane for so long?
Sure you did
You have a problem
Quick, before the hoards arrive, how's everyone doing today ?
Good
Alright
Im doing dandy
Pretty normal, but now it’s raining and cold outside so that’s bad.
Soo sleepy
Bennet Foddy simply achieved his goal. And his goal was to polarize a community with an artsy concept but no deeper meaning than simply getting over it. Nobody got over it. That's the point.
lasarousi well screw him then
Fuck that point in its entirety. In the end, nobody is better off, the developer comes across as horribly pretentious, and you just leave with a bad taste in your mouth.
In his website, Bennet Foddy said that the game's purpose is to hurt someone, so the game is either the game of the year where he achieved the game's core message flawlessly, creating a weapon of mass distruction, or the worst game of the century because the core message itself defeats the reason of the existence of video games------to have fun.
Just cuz he got his goal, doesnt mean it's good
I personally found enjoyment and satisfaction with the game. Sure, getting from point A to point B may take an hour the first time and it sucks to fall back to point A, but I felt myself getting better each time.
I remember taking multiple hours getting to the orange on the grill part, and I literally fell back to the beginning of the game. BUT getting back only took around 20-30 minutes and it felt great demolishing the segments that once gave me a lot of trouble. It does require a lot of patience though, and its completely understandable why someone would consider that a bad thing. you shouldnt have to have patience with the CONTROLS. So I see what youre saying, Caddy. I just had a different experience.
I don't really understand the audience for games that intentionally have really, really shitty controls... Why would you prefer this to a hard game with good controls? Bad controls makes the game feel bad to play to me.
I have no real idea what anyone means by bad controls, considering I beat it in around 3 to 4 hours with only slightly less sensitivity than normal. I too also fell down a few times and I could tell that I learned how the physics and controls worked based on how quickly I made it back up to where I fell at first.
BintonGaming are you talking about this game or Lol? Because this is how i feel when playing Mordekaiser
If you dont know wtf i said THEN GO PLAY LOL!
@@hoodedman6579 ask the classic castlevania community and they'll tell you why
All of that time could have been spent playing a better game, you know.
I was gifted Getting Over It for Christmas because it was on my wishlist. I can honestly enjoy some wacky physics games sometimes and I don't tend to get angry at games very often at all, so I do think I'll genuinely enjoy it most of the time. That said, I have yet to play it, because it also seems like a game that is more fun to play on a stream than by yourself. At least then you have someone who's enjoying your pain and someone to drive you forward again.
Octodad + PS Move Controllers= Fantastic fun!
Some say this is a game for masochists. Look, I play bullet hell games all day. I play hard games for FUN. This game just isn't fun, so I have no drive to continue in the same way as Dark Souls, Cuphead, or any Bullet Hell.
I absolutely agree with your opinion on this game.
Edit: Also Peppa Pig’s head as the pickaxe/hammer end should be a mod!
That intro made me laughed every time.

Getting over it with Bill Oddie, Ken Doddy and PC Ploddy
I do have to agree with him. It's not that great of a game. It's sole purpose it seems is meant to troll people while putting up a pretentious front of being "artistic". It's the equivalent of putting a toilet in an art gallery and calling it "Art". -__-
Or an upside down urinal that's been signed
I Wanna Be the Guy is much better than this x.x
Idk, I honestly really like this game. The calm, jazzy aesthetic that the narrator brings helps me feel a little better about falling down than I would without it. A big theme is trying to get up again and again, not letting your mistakes get to you and being patient. It genuinely is a fun time for me, though that may be because I really enjoy hard games like this.
Thanks, as someone who has beaten the game around 200 times, I can confirm that it is an amazing game
God I hate this game and everything it stands for, so glad other people seem to hate it too.
Davidon 2112 Why do you hate it?
Marquis Payden Mostly the stupidly hard difficulty having no satisfying payoff all to hurt the audience, the shoddy presentation and controls (which I’m pretty sure are intentionally frustrating) and the excessive droning on about philosophical bollocks all to make the creator seem higher and better than the players.
Davidon 2112 Fair enough
I don't think it was meant to be good. It was a tribute to a shitty flash game.
It’s a great rage game if you’re not up for games like that than don’t play it
note: bennet foddy himself has said ragequitting is the true ending
Nice new intro, my boi
Wait, seriously? This is getting praised as one of the best games of 2017? The game was funny the first time and quickly became boring, it's a rage game for gods sake, did people worship I am bread? no. Did people worship Surgeon Simulator? no. So what's different about this fucking game? It has the messy controls and physics of both other games, so what's different about this?
The narrator
I mean, at least I Am Bread and Surgeon Simulator are funny. Getting Over It is just some guy being condescending to you while you play some broken, frustrating shit.
The only funny thing about this game is watching someone else play it and rage, and that's the only reason it ever got popular in the first place.
*JOSEPH YOU ARE UNCLEAN*
Your profile picture is unclean.
*YOU MUST GRRRRIND YOUR SINS AWAY*
i really like getting over it. its therapeutic.
OH MY GOD, Caddy looks almost Amish with that beard. Definitely a far cry to how he looks nowadays.
The fact that it's from Bennett Foddy should always be a warning sign. This is the dude behind QWOP, might I remind you.
Imagine trying to platinum relic this game.
I feel I'm the only one that appreciated the Rugrats style music in the background
If I ever wanted to buy pain, I'd get any of the soulsborne games. They're fun, rewarding, with solid controls (for the most part) and the bullshit doesn't make the game unplayable... for the most part.
You know you didn't save for a while in any game, then die and have to do it all over again. It's basically this game
Swagbucks is still a privacy nightmare...
Game is pretty fun imo. Like a condensed Dark Souls experience. If it's only about getting presented with difficult challenges and you have to get better to overcome them.
I remember saying “fuck this game” on Reddit and someone was like “you obviously didn’t get the message.”
Like, I got it. It’s just a stupid game. It subjects you to all that anger and stress for no real reason and then acts all like “oh, you gotta learn to persevere”
No. It’s just subjecting yourself to so much anger and stress, taking time off your life, pissing you off. It’s one of those games that is purposefully shitty and impossible and acts like it’s all artsy and deep.
With better balance, it could be interesting and what it was going for, but as is..... fuck this game!
Thank gosh Peppa is bacon with some salt and pepper
I bet Caddy's neighbors must live in a constant state of panic and fear XD
I don't get why people would assume that people who didn't enjoy Getting Over It aren't into novelty, or are just weak. And I say this as someone who sunk like 25 hours into the game and really liked it. Getting Over It's release trailer itself makes it clear - "I made this game for a very specific kind of person. To hurt them." It's not for everyone, and a lot of people won't like it.
So it's for masochists?
I nearly lost it when Postman Pat started playing 😂
Errant Signal made a good analysis video about the appeal of this game, if you’re curious why it’s getting praised.
The fact youtube thinks this is "Octodad: Dadliest Catch" and also the fact caddy mentions octodad in this video makes this even more funny.
Let off some steam, Bennett Foddy!
Cloud Strife I'm sure he doesn't need to blow off steam, he's quite happy from the numbing agony and anguish caused from the game he has brought forth to piss off more people than flappy bird
I've watched this 3 times, and the ETC (Especially Tom Cruise) cracks me up every time. Just the way he pronounces it :D
I agree completely. This game exists purely as TH-cam/streamer bait, gaining popularity from frustrating masochists who have a platform.
Caddy i dont get how you dont have any more subscribbers than what you already have you are the one video game youtuber that everyone needs to see! This video is gold! you tell it how it is and i love it!
thank goodness im not the only one who hate this game
this is one of the worst designed games of 2017/18
,I wouldn't say this is the worst designed game but it's definitely overrated
yeah i can agree on that xD
I had no idea until this that people actually said this game was good...
If we’re talking about mainstream let’s player games...
DDLC
You’ll never be the same
It's about as clever and nuanced as that old The Maze game from albinoblacksheep, only you have to sit through two hours of intentionally dull content to get to the "screamer" portion.
I'm Very Angry It's Not Butter!! Pretty much that and the fact that it's a visual novel, which doesn't really count as a Game.
