[QUOTE=Take_Opal;41616562]I've never seen anyone excuse his behavior. And also, you don't know 100% of Phil's life. Just because he hasn't documented his therapy on twitter doesn't mean that he hasn't or doesn't attempt to help himself.[/QUOTE] Maybe he should just fucking get off twitter? Even he has said it does nothing good for him. All of this is literally his own fault. The dude can't keep his mouth shut.
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;41616561]"Being a human being like me" is not an excuse to be an asshole, and it's not a solid justification either, let alone a reason for me to excuse him. He wants to be a bitch and complain about everything while insulting anyone not agreeing with his shit opinions ? Fine, I'm just going to treat him like a bitch who complains about everything. If he wants to play the "I'm a dick who needs no one's affection" card then he's just going to end up being a dick that no one likes, period. I don't have to feel sorry for that guy and because we all have our "faults" doesn't mean I have to feel sorry for him. He's an asshole and so far he's been assuming it entirely, if he won't even bother apologizing I won't bother treating him like a respectable member of society.[/QUOTE] I'm sure he'll do just fine without apologizing to you. He doesn't owe anyone anything, you don't need to sympathize but you should know the other side of the argument.

imagine how satisfying it would be to punch phil fish

It's pretty obvious he doesn't actually.
Haven't played FEZ and I'd like to someday, but this guy is a total cunt. He dishes shit out on a daily basis and somehow expects his plate to be clean in the morning.

heh, almost trending on Twitter

[QUOTE=Take_Opal;41616621]You shouldn't take everything you read online so literally. I doubt he wanted you, specifically, to suffocate on his cock. [/QUOTE] He said that to a specific guy on twitter though. The full backstory is that the guy criticized Phil Fish, who then responded by saying he got some indie game award (which means jack shit) and that the dude who criticized him should suck on his dick and choke on it. It was a very clear literal insult directed to a single individual and it very clearly wasn't humor or a quote from anything.
[QUOTE=Take_Opal;41616621]You shouldn't take everything you read online so literally. I doubt he wanted you, specifically, to suffocate on his cock.[/QUOTE] I get that, I'm just trying to say that if you want to be treated respectfully you should probably act in a way that's respectable. People shouldn't just crucify him, but he also can't really expect people to be sympathetic or understanding when he says things like that.
[QUOTE=Carnage2323;41616649]But if he does possibly have psyche issues, he might be literal[/QUOTE] I doubt it, but you aren't wrong.
Why is anybody celebrating that Fez 2 was cancelled If you didn't want to play it then it literally does not affect you in any way at all, meanwhile the people who were looking forward to it are negatively affected There is literally nothing to celebrate here
[QUOTE=Take_Opal;41616061]All parties are being immature. Fuck the gametrailers guy for attacking Jonathan Blow and Phil Fish's character and as well for throwing in "...fucking hipsters" because they're indie devs. If people don't want to give quotes, then they don't need to. Phil Fish is obviously a very mentally fragile person. You're all picking on the weird kid in school who would cry over kickball. I'm sure if he could control it, he wouldn't be so awkward. He can definitely be a big ass hole and deserves some of the flack he is given. But being proud about FEZ II being cancelled is fucking idiotic and all you are doing is associating the game with the creator.[B] FEZ is a completely unoffensive game, its certainly undeniably well made and has a lot of heart put into it[/B].[/QUOTE] It's a pretentious piece of shit that tries to be relevant and funny but it is instead incredibly bland and generic. Well made and lot of heart being put into it doesn't = a good game. You need more than that. and the devs personally many times can make a BIG difference in the game itself, just look at Running With Scissors. Or even better, Day Z's devs.
[QUOTE=Take_Opal;41616621]You shouldn't take everything you read online so literally. I doubt he wanted you, specifically, to suffocate on his cock.[/QUOTE] It's a shitty thing to say regardless in public view

I doubt he wanted you, specifically, to suffocate on his cock.[/QUOTE] Seeing as how you're grasping at straws to defend his awful attitude that has gone on for months, relying on nothing but "doubt," you're the one who should stop talking out of their ass. I mean this in the least offensive way, by the way. Phil isn't worth insulting others over. Regardless of intention, telling someone to choke on his dick is a terribly unofficial and childish thing to say. Also am I the only one who thinks cancelling Fez 2 is a bad thing? If there was ever a chance for Phil to redeem his ability to make a good game it'd have been with Fez 2 by making it efficiently better than Fez 1 through basically avoiding what people complained about with it. For example, he could've added a penalty for dying and/or increased the general difficulty.

The tweet specifically was some guy calling Phil Fish an arrogant schmuck who was talking shit about everyone even though he never released a single game, and Fish responded with the whole "choke on my dick" thing. [img]http://thewiredfish.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/phil-fish-tweet.jpg[/img] Phil Fish is just a spoiled manchild that started being an unsufferable prick the instant people picked up on his game. He got really full of himself after people started calling his game great (despite not having played it, at all) and then became a massive prick when people complained about the game being delayed so much and eventually not being good at all.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;41616726]You can hate the guy, but I don't see the problem with seeing a game being developed that people want to play.[/QUOTE] It's because the first one was really horrible, overrated and extremely pretentious. Just like Phil
A lot of people bash EA for treating their customers like shit, what makes Phil Fish any different? Is it justified for him to call his customers tools and insult other developers just because he's ~indie~ and ~artistic~? He literally acts like a child going through an autistic meltdown when someone questions him.
[QUOTE=KorJax;41616413]TBH Beer was being a douche too Look I know we all love to hate oh phil fish because he's a doucher who doesn't understand how to approach social/PR situations but fact is Beer was the one who started it and he was being a doucher as well. I'm pretty sure that Beer even knew this and baited him on purpose just so he could get fish to blow up on him, which is a pretty damn childish thing to do that most people don't tend to do once they get out of high school.[/QUOTE] The whole 'the other guy was an ass too' doesn't excuse the fact that Phil was being an insufferable turd himself. That's the equivalent of a child saying 'but he did it first!'
I didn't know much about Fez but from what I saw from Indie Game the movie, Fish seemed like a colossal pretentious condecending cunt and has had this coming for ages.
[QUOTE=Take_Opal;41616621]There is absolutely no way you can rightfully assume that he doesn't. Quit talking out of your ass as if you're some sort of PhD.[/QUOTE] You do realize if he was getting help, he wouldn't still be on Twitter. It's a big part of the reason he has issues and it doesn't take a person with a PhD to realize this. He even said, "i don't want to get off twitter. i love twitter. but it also invites SO MUCH UGLINESS in my life."
Ah well. It's not like he made actual games.
I hope people have the mental awareness to recognize the cancellation of Fez 2 is far removed from Marcus' hands. That's in no way on his head. That's entirely Fish's own insane reaction.

[editline]27th July 2013[/editline] Not to mention I'd rather keep the indie market less saturated with pretentious 'games' that fill people with such shit expectations of the whole indie scene.
[QUOTE]"compare your life to mine and then kill yourself."[/QUOTE] I'll do it! So, you're a hipster asshat who released only one game that was only really bought during a huge sale, your ego is the size of a truck, you tell everyone to choke on your dick despite their insults getting to you, nobody likes you, aaand you just cancelled a game. What is it that I should kill myself for?
[IMG]http://i42.tinypic.com/dy4ui0.png[/IMG] what's Fez again?
I can actually understand what you're talking about Take Opal, because when I was younger I [I]was[/I] the weird kid that sometimes said mean things and was picked on by everyone. It made me furious and so I lashed out at everyone even harder, and surprise surprise, things just got worse and worse for me. I eventually realized that whatever emotional problems I had weren't actually everyone else's problems, they were mine, and that when I acted like an asshat, that's all that people would see me as. Things didn't get better for me until I actually started acting like a better person. People are a lot more inclined to care about your problems if you treat them respectfully, and I think that's the lesson Phil Fish needs to learn as well. [editline]27th July 2013[/editline] Holy shit half a page snuck up on me while I was typing this.
