Ugh, I'm so conflicted on whether or not to get this.

The [i]Stanley's[/i] Parable? I get to play as a guy named The Stanley?

Is this game worth buying?

[QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;42554591][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5evl5Qp.png[/IMG] Uuh, how long is this game exactly[/QUOTE] If its like the original Stanley Parable, the "boring do as your told" path makes the game super quick. But there's a LOT of endings and a number of the paths made the game significantly longer.

[QUOTE=Skyward;42554621]If its like the original Stanley Parable, the "boring do as your told" path makes the game super quick. But there's a LOT of endings and a number of the paths made the game significantly longer.[/QUOTE] The original game only had six endings, all of which took a maximum of 10 minutes to beat. Unless the game has far more content than the original mod, $15 seems like a bit too much.

[QUOTE=SoaringScout;42555308] Unless the game has far more content than the original mod, $15 seems like a bit too much.[/QUOTE] Allegedly it does. I can't confirm one way or the other, but I doubt they'd charge 15 dollars for a facelift.

[QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;42554591][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/5evl5Qp.png[/IMG] Uuh, how long is this game exactly[/QUOTE] Twice as long as Gone Home. :v:

[QUOTE=Skyward;42555316]Allegedly it does. I can't confirm one way or the other, but I doubt they'd charge 15 dollars for a facelift.[/QUOTE] Question is just how much. If they put 10 times the content of the mod into it, it still doesn't make for a good hours/money ratio. Of course actual quality doesn't factor into this equation, so 5 minutes that blow your mind, change your life and cure cancer couldn't be compared to 20h of hugging chest-high walls with mild enthusiasm. Personally I think it'd be tough to recreate the surprise of the original mod to me, no matter how much extras and superficial polish they've been packing, so unless this gets an overwhelmingly positive response, I'll just mark it down as a "courtesy purchase" I'll get around to some day.

[QUOTE=Skyward;42555316]Allegedly it does. I can't confirm one way or the other, but I doubt they'd charge 15 dollars for a facelift.[/QUOTE] much more content

A cash machine ate my card and my account is now blocked until tomorrow ... Fuck! Got to wait for this :v:

I found the [sp]confusion/restart[/sp] ending pretty clever. Probably the best one. I have got a [sp]screen with "The End" and credits, does this mean I have found all endings,[/sp] or is it just a clever joke again?

I'm just disappointed it's not $8.88

Found out I can't buy this...noo!

so this is basically dear esther with multiple endings?

[QUOTE=robotman5;42554581]Is this game worth buying?[/QUOTE] Yes

[QUOTE=Marzipas;42556001]so this is basically dear esther with multiple endings?[/QUOTE] And not needlessly pretentious.

[QUOTE=Marzipas;42556001]so this is basically dear esther with multiple endings?[/QUOTE] it's more like a deconstruction of such games like that, gone home, etc.

[QUOTE=Sadim;42555338]Thats not something a game should boast....[/QUOTE] It's not?

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;42556783]It's not?[/QUOTE] If a game can be beaten casually in 4 minutes (assuming casually since it's an achievement, meant for anyone to be able to get), then it's not good.

The Stanley[highlight]'s[/highlight] Parable. What.

[QUOTE=redBadger;42557389]If a game can be beaten casually in 4 minutes (assuming casually since it's an achievement, meant for anyone to be able to get), then it's not good.[/QUOTE] [sp]The game can't be beaten as such[/sp]

[video=youtube;PZe9_LWlOtM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZe9_LWlOtM[/video]

[sp]The game put me in the serious room for one hundred million billion trillion years for launching with console and using sv_cheats 1[/sp]

[sp]what the hell do i do after turning on the mind control device?[/sp]

Anybody else find [sp]the computer that asks for input[/sp]?
