aw yeah part six [video=youtube;_QaXabzUHx8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QaXabzUHx8[/video]
Awesome guy.
Yeah, I've been following this LP for a while. Kinda cool that he's been working out the code; that aspect of the game does seem sorta neat if you're into investigation. Then again, would you say that it's a good thing or a bad thing that you'd need to have a pen and paper handy to work out the puzzles, being that there's technically no in-game "journal" to record it for you? Also, it would have been rather neat if he actually wore a fez during the LP, though then again that'd probably be taking it too far.
I've never played this game before, but I sure want to now after watching this playthrough. I love secrets like those in this game. Where they're not blatantly put in front of your eyes.
I like Hamst3r but I do not like FEZ. The dev is an egotistical jackass.
fez is a bad game
[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;40552376]I like Hamst3r but I do not like FEZ. The dev is an egotistical jackass.[/QUOTE] But is that reason enough to hate the game by that judgement alone? Even if the developer is a bit of a cunt, surely that doesn't automatically mean that Fez itself is objectively bad, and that anyone who claims to like Fez is brain-damaged? I don't see it like that; I think the game is alright in terms of aesthetic and mechanics, and they do not directly reflect the negative traits of it's creator; I'm certain that even if you look at the mechanics you wouldn't be able to see the arrogance of Phil Fish, nor would it be possible to stare at the graphics and see how he apparently betrayed Ed McMillen (apparently that was the inspiration for Judas in Binding of Isaac). Still I would have preferred if Gomez obtained functional special items along the way, like a hookshot or a power-glove, and for that matter a few actual enemies mightn't have gone amiss, even if they were just bosses. But regardless it's still an interesting game despite Phil Fish being a bit of a twat.
Nah Fez is just a bad game.
i like my games to have gameplay maybe that's just me i might watch it anyways though cause Hamst3r is a rad guy
Bad idea to post anything about Fez that isn't negative here, it's cool hate because of principles or something
Yeah; the whole "hate it because it's cool to hate it" strikes me as a negative trait that needs to bred out of the human gene pool. It's better to hate something for legit reasons, rather than hate it because everyone else hates it and you want to be cool/not stand out as a heretic. Like I said, it feels like it's lacking something that could be there but somehow isn't. I don't think I said it was a great game; I merely said it was interesting. Also, No Party Hats' comment is automatically invalidated because he thinks it doesn't have gameplay. Just because it doesn't throw a bunch of enemies at you or you never see Gomez doing a 360 noscope with a customized assault rifle doesn't mean it doesn't have gameplay. Then again, does a game really have to have combat and conflict in it to be a game?
The puzzles in Fez were awesome as fuck.
[QUOTE=ironman17;40553841]Yeah; the whole "hate it because it's cool to hate it" strikes me as a negative trait that needs to bred out of the human gene pool.[/QUOTE] Yeah, don't reproduce if you don't like this game, just fucking die off.

Not because there's literally no challenge or consequence, everything about it is stolen from games that the developer directly insulted, and because it's "innovative" gameplay mechanic is just click a button when you get stuck, and then you'll be less stuck.
[QUOTE=nox;40553912]Yeah, don't reproduce if you don't like this game, just fucking die off.[/QUOTE] Wow. Way to take it out of context you bumpkin; I wasn't saying that people who hate Fez shouldn't breed. I was merely saying that [B][U]if you hate things just to get on the bandwagon, rather than find out WHY people hate it[/U][/B], you should seek mental help. Just look at human history; this kinda thing is a serious problem born out of not willing to find out more, millions of people have died because of people mobbing together to purge something they don't know a lot about. As a human being, you are [U]obligated[/U] to have a good reason why you hate something, not just because it's cool to hate it. If you refuse to explain why you hate something, you are merely a human, not a being; little more than an animal. Prove that you are an actual being by explaining WHY you hate it; I can see many things that people can hate about this game besides the cunt of a developer. Now, don't you EVER take things like that out of context again. This is not something you can negotiate; this is in your contract as a human being, it's basic etiquette that even a young child should be able to understand. Also, at least "lee7" has given some reasons why he doesn't like it.
i really dont understand facepunch's collective hatred of fez i thought it was really neat
[QUOTE=Rediscover;40554161]i really dont understand facepunch's collective hatred of fez i thought it was really neat[/QUOTE] Judging from their criticism, they haven't played it for more than 10 minutes
[QUOTE=I_love_garrysmod;40554192]Judging from their criticism, they haven't played it for more than 10 minutes[/QUOTE] Or we've played it long enough to know there's no game there. Also, Phil Fish is a douche. [quote=Me] Polytron is only two people, but all the /animation/important stuff that matters (besides the coding) was made by Trapdoor Inc. who co-published the game. Music was made by Disasterpeace. Renaud did all of the coding for Fez, Phil was "Designer" and art. So, basically, his job was to draw pictures that Trapdoor would animate while wasting everyone's time making unsolvable puzzles and hiding pictures in the soundtrack. [QUOTE=DMGaina;40378368]But it's kind of unfair not to support the other artists and programmers then, isn't it?[/QUOTE] If you want to support the devs, send Renaud a check for doing the engine/tools/game features and send Trapdoor a thank-you note for doing pretty much everything else that was important. Then send Trapdoor a nice fruit basket for finishing Fez even though they were busy on their own game, [URL="http://store.steampowered.com/app/102850/"]Warp[/URL], which is actually a fun and challenging game. [/quote] That said, Hamster is always entertaining and puts out good videos, so I don't want to turn this into too big of a debate on Fez .
where's that best gamers review?

You know how it is, one day we're disliking some indie game next thing you know my blind hatred has run so rampant I'm killing anyone I dislike and I don't even know why.
FEZ is bad because it's just another pretentious indie game but this time with a shit dev.
[QUOTE=SFC003;40554325]where's that best gamers review?[/QUOTE] yes that one the only clear-cut "this game sucks" review of Fez in existence, thats from a review group that does exclusively dramatized sarcastic reviews of popular games because because troll reviews for the humor of it are the whole point of what they do great silver bullet facepunch! this'll really show everyone just how much phil fish sucks [editline]7th May 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=ZestyLemons;40554358]I don't hate it because it's cool, I hate it because it's hardly a game. There's zero challenge and no penalty for fucking up.[/QUOTE] That's like saying there's no challenge in portal if you already know all the solutions to get to the end of the game, and that there's no challenge in journey There isn't any real penalty in portal for "fucking up" either so I really don't get this argument that FP almost exclusively uses against this game. Dieing in portal, as rare as it happens, doesn't set you back more than a few seconds to a few minutes which is exactly what fez does Why can't FP just admit they hate the game simply because they don't like Phil fish is beyond me instead of throwing out non-arguments that don't have any basis in reality, or that are fake/percieved issues from people who have never played the game, and are things that aren't actually issues in any other games out there (such as "its hardly a game") This is all especially funny to me because the one user here who is disconnected from the whole Fez drama and actually watched the videos said it looked good.
[QUOTE=SFC003;40554325]where's that best gamers review?[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8Ifue2xGFY[/media] [del]I'm not sure if this is satire or not (everyone's taking it seriously so I'll assume it isn't), but if it's not, this review's biased[/del] As revealed by KorJax, it is indeed satire He didn't show any gameplay that wasn't from the first 10 minutes. He only showed one thing after the first level and that was just him complaining about the only meme in the game, which is after you beat the game and unlock first person mode. He didn't show any points as to why the game sucks other than there's no challenge, no obstacles and that the creator's a dick. Apparently the game is just being pretentious and trying to be art by showing you a 360 view of the level you've just entered; it's not trying to give you an idea of where you're going or anything. As a platformer, this game is pretty easy, and the creator is a dick; but he's wrong in saying that there aren't any obstacles in the game, there's plenty when you get further in. The one big puzzle in this game is deciphering the language, which will help you solve a whole bunch of other puzzles. That's what's unique about Fez and why lots of people enjoyed it. It's about the exploration and using the subtle hints to find where you're going next. If you've played this game a good deal to understand that and still don't like it, that's fine, but that's no reason to shit in every thread relating to Fez. We all know the creator's a dick, but that doesn't effect the gameplay

The only mechanic in Fez is 'rotate the world'. Don't know what do do? Just rotate without even thinking or a worry that you'll fuck up and lose progress or w/e. In Portal you need to figure out where Portals go n shit and there's energy balls and cubes (read: actual puzzle elements). Fez doesn't have any of that neat shit, all it has is collectables and rotating and nothing else. [editline]6th May 2013[/editline] I could care less about Phil, the game has one mechanic and a tired art style.
Doesn't look as bad as everyone makes it out to be, really. Kinda reminds me of Super Meat Boy in terms of infinite retries and making jokes at game traditions, merged with Banjo Kazooie or Donkey Kong 64 in terms of collecting everything and puzzle solving.

I think fez is an alright game for people who want a very relaxed puzzle-ish game. It's got some neat puzzles in it, and, from what i've seen hamster play, there might be some hidden things to figure out, like the owls. seriously. what's with the owls?
