[QUOTE=Gatekeeper828;44200139]After reading through this thread and a few others where Gone Home is mentioned, I still fail to see why this game causes a shit storm whenever it's mentioned. Is it really from just some awards they got or am I missing something?[/QUOTE] Short game with effectively zero replayability that costs two to four times more than other indie games. [I]Gone Home[/I] won awards over the comparable game, [I]The Stanley Parable[/I], and it won awards over other games with much more replyability and/or story, which many people feel [I]Gone Home[/I] doesn't deserve.

[QUOTE=G-Strogg;44199989]Thats the main reason people should stay the fuck away, System Shock did a similar narrative back in 94 or whatever.

[QUOTE=Laferio;44198716]because it won "best PC game" undeserving award for a game that is [B]ok[/B][/QUOTE] I still don't get it. How is it the game's fault that someone decided to call it the best PC game?

[QUOTE=milkandcooki;44198585]the game does what it does, it doesn't rip people off[/QUOTE] Hah, funny story about that, actually: My housemate bought this game as soon as it came out (slightly discounted to $18 for pre-order) because he's a big indie game fan and had high expectations for Gone Home based on all the hype it was getting. As soon as he beat it, he came over to my room and told me he just had to rant about how ripped-off he felt and how shitty this game is for the money. He spent nearly $20 on a game that didn't even last two hours for him, and one that he felt was extremely boring, cliched, and anticlimactic. And he was saying all this before the 'hate storm' took off for the game. Not everyone complaining about the game are people who haven't played it. I looked at your Steam profile and you don't even own it. How can you say this game isn't a ripoff or a disappointment?

[QUOTE=Diet Kane;44196109]how could you miss the 90's the music was garbage and the fashion was scary bad[/QUOTE] It was my childhood and I've always had a huge nostalgia for it. Life was easy, some music was good, but we had all the hits from previous decades to listen to. I never paid attention to fashion. I'm the type of guy who watches an episode of friends from the 90s and feels depressed because it doesn't look like the peaceful and perfect place it was in my childhood mind.

It's ok to dislike a game. It's ok to hate a game. It's ok to voice your opinion on a game, joke about it like "gone homo" and "not a game". [QUOTE=lazyguy;44198432]Maybe I'm getting disproportionately angry, but this picture absolutely infuriates me. People gave you an award, you fucking fucks, look like you appreciate it. At least the cunt with the cock looks like he might possibly be trying to make a shitty faux-serious (but still deserving of a punch) joke face, but the cunt with the cunt (and the red star hat, [I]nice[/I]) is LITERALLY LOOKING DOWN HER NOSE AT US. Fucking fuck fuck it's a good thing they wear glasses because if I ever saw them I think I'd spit in their eye.

[editline]11th March 2014[/editline] Also, the very first Pokémon games from 1996 had an abandoned house where you pieced together the backstory from reading journal entries.[/QUOTE] This is not ok. This is the point where you should start to consider what the hell you are doing with your life, getting angry at something as meaningless as this to the point where you are basically exploding with rage. Last time I checked, Facepunch(generally speaking, we are no hivemind) hated the generic military shooter and wanted Devs to try something new. They do and get made fun of or flamed to hell and back. It's not a game in the traditional sense but then, are Telltales Point & Clicks games? Some of the best ones I ever played IMO. It's ok to hate but please atleast be reasonable. I never played Gone Home simply because it didn't seem interesting but the amount of hate this game has gotten is pathetic. Go and throw your hate at Eutechnyx(Ride to Hell: Retribution) or the Bad Rats creators if you want to point and laugh at the "bad guys" of gaming.
Well, good for them. As a sort of exploratory artpiece it was good in my opinion, just good. The biggest problem I had with it is that if it was in any other medium of entertainment, for instance if it was an indie movie, then I don't think it would have been nearly as well-received. But since it's a "game" it ends up being innovative, controversial and hip and of course critics love that shit. I don't feel like Gone Home is a deserving of any awards though nor is deserving of it's hate.
[QUOTE=mchapra;44199874]maybe if i call them nerds people will ignore my lack of an argument[/quote] well, what's your argument???? that gone home doesn't deserve all this money and all these awards because... gglrufgghlgggelle.e blrrlrufgghkk... vomit?

If award show's are giving awards to those undeserving of it, it is the award show at fault.

I can remember pretty much my whole playthrough of Gone Home, but only a couple of the more interesting moments in Stanley Parable
the game is not very special but the game got awards and critical acclaim because its about gay girls which makes it a Very Special Game tm, its a fucking awesome idea and im upset that i didnt do it first
I don't get it, what's this game even about, exactly

I'm honestly just sick of seeing every Gone Home thread go to five pages of people doing nothing but bitching. "Don't click the thread then." I don't need to click the thread to know what is going on, I've seen it in every other Gone Home thread already and I see it from the page count and the dozen of boxes in the subforum. Fucking get over it guys. We have a lot of vocal people who really don't like Gone Home. We get it. It's not going to stop news outlets from posting news or the developers from putting it on other platforms because they don't give a shit about a dozen or so angry kids on Facepunch.
