The Witness is a fantastic puzzle game and the environment is really cool and the hunt for "environmental puzzles" is really fun, but the audio logs, videos, and meta-"plot" are all absolute horseshit. Like a goddamn freshman philosophy student that just discovered postmodernism for the first time cornered you at a party. Jonathan Blow is a loving genius-level game designer and a goddamn moron of a philosopher. Also, I really hate how it has no accommodation whatsoever for people with disabilities (particularly colorblindness and hearing impairment). So I simultaneously love this game and hate it; it lives rent-free in my brain. If anyone's played The Witness, but you haven't played the free parody game The Looker, you absolutely should. The Talos Principle is so unlike The Witness that I am struggling to understand why anyone would compare them, other than to contrast how completely different they are. TW has good puzzles and bad philosophy; TTP has bad puzzles and good philosophy.

Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:I'm with you on the "explore an interact with a strange environment thing" though. I've been playing with the idea of writing an interactive fiction game with a visual map you can navigate and hand drawn, still images of the scenes/characters you come across in a setting with a really dense and alien culture. Just really make something where your interactions aren't limited to violence or explicit problem solving. I really should just draft out a general structure and start working on it because I'm capable of doing the work myself dude as I get older I am just generally turned off by violence and there are very few good games where you don't have to kill or beat up anyone. what i'm saying is it sounds good

I liked the Witness and I thought it was cool when I got my first environmental puzzle and it made me see the world differently. Then it lit up one of the symbols on a little pillar and I saw there were a bunch of pillars and each once had like a million symbols on it and I instantly lost all will to play. Talos was okay, but with all its stuff about breaking out of your predefined path and free will I was expecting them to do some sort of mind bending meta game that just never appeared. The gameplay and puzzles were all pretty straight forward start to finish, with the only noteworthy bit being when you shoot a beam from one puzzle into another one. The Witness was more off the rails than Talos. I was expecting some Icepick Lodge you were playing the game wrong the whole time because we didn't tell you how it really works level poo poo which was probably unfair.

Nope. The “true ending” comes from following some clues, no timer There is a timed gauntlet that’s only good for an achievement The hour-long lecture is optional, but also does let you complete an optional environmental puzzle that has zero effect on anything other than “I did it”

All this talk is making me want to give the Witness another go. I like the open undirected gameplay but man it gets daunting when you realize how much stuff there is to look for. I didn't want to look at a walkthrough to see what's important because I wanted the natural experience, but it just gets overwhelming at some point.

None of the game's puzzle content, or any content at all, is locked behind the environmental stuff, you can just skip it if you want. I think that hunting for them is fun but ymmv.

Well I guess I’ll weigh in. I copped an Xbox series x with all the bells and whistles about a year ago. The result was less than stellar. Sure I dropped some time on halo and forza but how much tie can you spend on such samey environments? I was on gamepass aka the monthly subscription to a bunch of crap you don’t want to play….a bunch of OLD re released junk. Not to mention the very real under discussed problem where Xbox uses violence and “mature” content as a standin for decent writing and actual fun gameplay….sure the graphics in gears are sharp… but wtf is with the chainsaw brutality. It’s like a 5th graders idea of what mature adults would want. The result was my 500+ dollar Xbox with all the trimmings became a dust collector. Finally this week I was blessed enough to cop an OLED switch and the results couldn’t be happier. I’ve copped Mario Odessy and BOTW and Havnt even opened BOTW yet because I’m having such a time flying though colorful worlds with my friend Mario….and there are still shelves upon shelves of beautiful PHYSICAL (imagine that) games to cop which I won’t be waiting hours to download. The switch is a TRIUMPH for gamers everywhere and the Xbox ( and I can only presume the PlayStation) are a fail.

Gears of War is absolutely aimed at toddlers and small children, as evidenced by the 45 minute unskippable tutorial that teaches you complex controls like how to "move forward" or how to "strafe left" and makes you demonstrate each one at least three times, with dialog in between each demonstration congratulating you on being such a fast learner. In the fifth game in the series.
