I hope the person who designed that piece of shit minigame Spitfire chokes on their food.

i'd rather not have them tied together, if that's all the same to you.
there's nothing tying them together. not the setting, not the aesthetic or atmosphere, nothing.
"During the podcast, Gaynor also went on to allude that System Shock 2 is also set within the same universe as Bioshock (and thus Gone Home as well), but there's no direct connection between Gone Home and that classic. Still, Gaynor has managed to subtly tie together disparate stories into one universe"
Roughly translated "I'm trying to force my game into sharing a universe with this masterpiece, so it must be a good game by default!"
[quote]Gaynor has managed to subtly tie together disparate stories into one universe--much like J.J. Abrams has with Slusho.[/quote]
He did a reference/homage to another game in his game it does not mean anything about what universe it's in or so. This is stupid.
no.
any dev can say their game is part of another games universe, but as long as the other dev doesnt agree to it, what the first one said is null, and if they still want to believe its a part of the games universe, then you can just write it off as fan fiction
that said, fuck off gaynor

[B]BRAVO, GAYNOR[/B]
I think people are just trying to find excuses to get mad about Gone Home at this point.
It's just a little stupid reference. Who cares.
because it's a terrible game trying to ride on the coat tails of infinitely better games.

YES I'LL SAY IT TIL THE COWS COME HOME!
How insanely pretentious do you have to be to try and tie your game to another series that you didn't even come up with

I'd be fine if he were just referencing something else that he worked on. That's cool and interesting if you're familiar with his work. The fact that he's also alluding to the fact that this takes place in the same universe as the other games because of it is confusing.
[B]OH NO YOU DON'T![/b]
Bioshock might be a series in it's own ass sometimes yeah. But it's a far far far better series of games with better devs on it, than Gone Home.
Keep your mitts off of it!

Because when other games try to ride on the popularity of other (see: every voxel-based or survival horror game) we bash it. Don't think your precious Gone Home is any different.
Wait, if we're applying the logic that referencing something else means your game takes place in the same universe as that thing, then how many different games get set in the same universe as Borderlands?
This kind of crap reminds me of MatPat and his "Crossover" bullshit where he takes some minor thing from a game, ties it to another and says they co-exist in a similar universe (e.g. Super Meat Boy and Daytona USA).
God, thinking about that just made this even worse.

They made Bioshock 2: Minerva's Den. That's what it's referencing. IGN are just being retarded.
Eh, okay... I didn't even know there was a "Super Spitfire" cartridge in the game when I played it.

Alright. No jokes allowed. Video games are serious: they are a no joke zone.

Basing your entire game around a concept (voxel graphics, survival horror, zombies, etc) to ride the success of other games isn't the same as a small Easter Egg that most people won't notice unless they listened to this obscure podcast.
Gaynor even said that you have to make huge logical leaps to think about it this way. I really doubt he was being entirely 100% serious.
I want irrational to agree so nerds get mad.
So why does everybody hate gone home ? I don't see the problem with it

It's receiving praise that it doesn't deserve. It is not a revolutionary game neither in its narrative, the way in which it tells that narrative nor its gameplay.
For people saying "why get mad at a reference" it would be because Gaynor is trying to sneakily feed off the popularity of another game by directly drawing attention to it, instead of letting it be a simple reference.
I can't believe the seriousness over an easter egg.

is he really? Is game dev guy sitting in a room stroking his van dyke and laughing as he imagines all the people who are going to shell out cash for his video game after reading the interview where he joked around about how an easter egg means his game and bioshock share the same canon? is that really what's going on here?
[QUOTE=T-Sonar.0;43647895]I can't believe the seriousness over an easter egg.[/QUOTE]
It's not even a remarkable one at that.
By this logic, TF2 has been confirmed to be a part of every PC game universe ever.
Jeez, I can tell who has never listened to Idle Thumbs pretty easily from all these responses

like when valve put that Lost reference in episode 2
but nO Valve good
gone home bad
totally different
or when rockstar put that half life reference in san andreas
they're easter eggs who cares, besides, Gaynor worked on Bioshock 2
