[QUOTE=goon165;42496529]I found the Demo entertaining.
it also puts forth an interesting concept of rather than rehashing a press event demo, game developers should try to make the demo a unique experience by encapsulating the games mechanics and narrative style in a self contained box separate from the actual game while still basically being the same game.
IE, a small side story to the main game.[/QUOTE]
I liked HL Uplink a lot back then

Also I had never played the mod, so I played it and this one after the other
Died laughing
Will buy the full game
Wait, Rusty was being serious?
[QUOTE=goon165;42496808]I find it funny that in the singleplayer game Carver literally feels like a figment of your imagination[/QUOTE]
so Clarke's figment of imagination has it's own imagination?
woah :v:
it would be nice if you can ban admins :DDDD

It's funny because I use S2D as an acronym for my alias from time to time :u
Well I dunno what to think. Guess I'll just wait for the final product. I absolutely adore the mod which was a wonderful insight to narrative in video games and the illusion of free choice in them (goddamn pressing down on the elevator button was glorious I'm so glad I did that last). It leads me to expect that this Remix will just be examining modern video game things like achievements and always telling you what to do and then doing a wacky subversion whereas the mod actually got genuinely disturbing and brilliant at the same time.
I dunno I'm just rambling. Can't wait till' the 17th.
That was a solid and well-made demo. Can't wait for the full game.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;42488632]
the whole indie and experimental thing is a fast growing excuse to have zero gameplay and still expect to flog copies of your game because you are so avant guard[/QUOTE]
This would mean a whole lot more if Davy hadn't already created a mod two years ago before that whole indie experimentation thing got big.
It's a bloody story. Like an audiobook. It just uses source engine as a method of telling it. No need to get all "but m-muh challenge or gameplay" over it.
What? It's not "story" by any means like an audiobook; if you put the entire script of The Stanley Parable on an MP3 player you'd miss out on everything what the fuck. Your post would apply to Dear Esther certainly but The Stanley Parable is a mod dicking around with the illusion of choice/narrative in video games.

Did you get the other endings? There's like 7 I forget.
[QUOTE=Rellow;42483444]good thing i probably won't be able to run it on this macbook air
even better, i won't have access to a decent pc until i'm out of college
[I]woooo[/I][/QUOTE]
You ar eusing a [i]macbook air[/i]. You have no one to blame but yourself.
IMO the demo was crap. why is everyone saying its so great?
just some stupid "emotion chambers" and other useless stuff like the walk through wall. After which the guy will keep saying "oh no you haven't even played the demo yet". almost got my hopes up and then he shows me the 8 game and "thank you for playing the demo" after that which throws me back to desktop
will not buy
My wallet is ready.

To be honest, I'm not entirely convinced either. I mean, it was interesting, but something about it just felt dry. I'm a bit annoyed I don't know what it's about, and though that was the point, if anything it convinces me to not bother buying it.
I feel like it'll either be really boring, or really good, and the demo feels somewhere in-between.
Gonna go try the original, and see if it's worth it.

[editline]12th October 2013[/editline]
then maybe they shouldn't have made a completely terrible demo?[/QUOTE]
So does everything you've said, this quoted post is an example in itself.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;42498026]couldn't have said it better myself dude[/QUOTE]
I'm pretty sure I could go through your posts and pick out enough "objectively's" and "literally's" to actually form that statement so in a sense I guess you already did. :v:

At least TH89 was awesome when he wasn't moderating.

Garry created Garry's Mod and Rust. Doesn't mean that Facepunchers get it for free.

Rusty's not a bad mod really. He's full of shit, but he's a good mod.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;42488139]how can i enjoy this when there's almost no content in it to enjoy?

As mentioned earlier, The Stanley Parable isn't just an audiobook, it's more than that.
