OP's gay, please go away.
Shame, this guy would have been really handsome had he had some hair
Why is he so bald?
Shaved his head to look like Dr. Phil
Dick was recently on a podcast with a full head of metal rocker hair.
that's ryen mcpherson, creator of bumfights.
what even is this game about
This is the story of a man named Stanley. Stanley worked for a company in a big building where he was Employee #427.
Everything and nothing. It's a 9/10 game.
Basically the state of the vidya industry.
The Narrator wants to tell a story about how Stanley (you) needs to stop pushing buttons (playing vidya, working in a cubicle farm, etc) and go touch grass or something. Very generic "corporations are mind controlling you, go be free" stuff. But the irony is, of course, you are playing a video game and the narrator is controlling you and telling you what to do. So all of this is hypocritical.
Adjacent to this is what happens when you do not listen to the Narrator, which quickly becomes a metacommentary on various games and how games are designed - with developers often intentionally giving you the middle finger with a bad end if you dare stray from their intended path. I think the Dishonored franchise is a good example of this, where the 'best' ending is also the one where you basically don't use any of the cool powers or swordfighting mechanics the game offers. Rewarding pussies for not mastering the game. The expanded edition also comments about video game reviews, mocking people who wanted to be able to skip the Narrator's dialogue and also just further fricking with the player and the narrator in general.
It's a walking simulator, and it certainly isn't even the best (that'd be Obra Dinn, God I wish I could play that game with fresh eyes again), but it is funny. The broom closet is my favorite part in particular.
>The broom closet is my favorite part in particular.
I find this very concerning.
nah they're right, it's def the best part
>The broom closet is my favorite part in particular
meds now
Superliminal is the best walking simulator.
Superliminal has actual gameplay
it's not particularly challenging but it's still much more than TSP where you basically only ever need to choose alternate paths.
if you bought the TSP expecting "gameplay" then you're just moronic.
>can't follow a basic conversation
>has the gall to call anyone else moronic
Superliminal is the most midwit walking sim.
Ah yes and the Obra Dinn totally doesn't have any gameplay.
Is this sarcasm cause gameplay isn't twitch shit; reading text and making meaningful decisions is gaming, and perhaps one of the oldest forms of computer gaming via text adventure games. The gaming industry really took a nosedive when FPS took off with all of its twitch-gaming.
"totally" was my sarcasm marker
I was mocking the previous post for saying Superliminal doesn't count when I was responding to the claim that obra dinn is the best walking simulator.
I enjoyed that game. Felt very Portal 1 but with less murderous intent
All metacommentary art pieces like this are really cliche at this point. I remember stuff like this starting to feel washed 15 years ago and the cope at the time was "2deep4u", as if meta commentary is somehow deep or exceptional than other forms of commentary.
its a free shield from criticism
and as a bonus if anyone doesnt like it you can say they dont get it
>enjoyed well-written, accurately-typed post from random Ganker anon
>jadedness and bitter boomer mentality briefly overpowered by positive chemicals in brain
>decide to spend energy googling "Obra Dinn," giving this intelligent and charismatic anon a chance despite my brain telling me low chance of success
>press enter
>black and white shit
Thank you for ruining my brief good mood and reinforcing my belief that all of you are tards with terrible opinions and I should not again waste my mental energy looking up obscure shit y'all suggest, because it is invariably bad and dumb.
black and white walking simulator jeez lmfao no thanks i am, as the kids would say, GOOD, f.a.m.
Obra Dinn is amazing, you're just getting filtered. It's a detective story about a missing ship that just arrived in port with nobody on board and you're trying to figure out who or what killed everyone.
I am accusing you of being a false boomer.
>walking sims are fine
>but monochrome isn't
>posts a monochrome picture
>y'all
That was intentional; I thought it'd make it a tad more funny and possibly net an extra (You) for someone who thought they were clever for pointing it out.
I'm gen y (33), but close enough. It was the easiest way to convey what I meant.
Black person the game itself is a filter, the most boring and bland of them all (monochrome). I don't play gay shit. Plus, God was based enough to let me see colors despite having dogshit eyesight otherwise; why wouldn't I want to enjoy such a gift to the utmost?
Plus, I like to use reshade these days and autistically enhance all the colors 'n saturation 'n contrast 'n sheeeeit.
why the frick do you zoomers keep applying the walking-sim meme term
the actual gameplay is pretty classic point-and-click adventure it's just done from a first-person perspective.
Man if all it takes is a Google search for you to be that bitter... Like I hope you're just shit posting man.
>Like I hope you're just shit posting man.
why
are you gonna get mad at him
Anon feels a profound sense of pity for the poster who can so easily upset himself.
seems like a waste of energy for someone whos so holier than thou
It is, unfortunately. You can drive yourself nuts caring about that kind of person if they refuse to abandon that mindset.
The anon is a fool who still holds on to one last shred of hope for humans.
>OH, DID U GET THE BROOM CLOSET ENDING? THEB ROOM CLOSET ENDING WAS MY FAVRITE!1 XD
Stanley Parable's legacy on the Internet is something so bizarre to me. This game used to be prime YouTuber bait around 2011-2013 until it was eventually forgotten, and now you have Tumblr fujos trying to reclaim it because in the eyes of everyone else TSP became the quintessential example of what being a "Reddit game" means. The only instance I see anons ever bring it up now is during the occasional Poker Night threads, for some fricking reason.
anyone play the original mod?
I did.
>Everything in its Right Place from Radiohead plays in one of the endings
kino
I don't think I would like Stanley Parable today like I did back when it originally came out, this is why I didn't buy the remade version. It was one of those games like Spec Ops The Line which came out during a time where "subverting expectations" and "metacommentary" was novel because of how dumb and hypocritical a lot of games seemed at the time, but now fricking every game that feels pretentious feels that way because it's trying to be meta and subvert expectations, when the way to actually subvert expectations nowadays would be to just be straightforward, fun, and enjoyable while seeming like you actually enjoy making video games and wouldn't rather be writing a book or making movies.
In the time since Stanley Parable has come out, I've really grown to hate watching video game writers disappear up their own ass while trying to sniff their own farts. I can't believe I actually WANT brown and bloom masculine dudebro shooters like Gears of War back knowing how bored I was of them back in the day, but that's kinda where we are in the current state of video game writing, cause at least Gears of War was interested in being a VIDEO GAME that had no intention of making the player feel bad for playing a VIDEO GAME.
>the one ending with dan deacon
kinotosis
also i agree, its like every video game now has 30 youtube essays about it explaining how its a metaphor for feeling sad or some gay shit because itd be a childish toy otherwise and we gotta prove that one homosexual wrong who said games cant be art
I did, but I've never played the new release. I didn't know until just a few months ago that they added so much to it.
I also played Dear Esther back then.
As opposed to what though?
>le being productive
I'm not playing video games right now, and I'm not being productive, because I'm lazy and don't want to work right now.
I really should play Obra Dinn, huh?
>Obra Dinn
Palpatine was behind it all.
If only I watch sports ball instead
