@joshwent: I think it's just the octopus wanting to go back to the ocean.

I don't get it. It looks like could be enjoyable in a short burst, I suppose, but Octodad looks like it's a nightmare to control and not very fun to play.

Why is everyone drooling over themselves to play this?

I really like the whole silly yet surprisingly heartwarming thing this game seems to have going on. I can always use more games like this or the good Ratchet games that just feel like you're playing a cartoon. Hopefully this turns out to be as fun as it looks.

@triviaman09: You're an octopus and you try to perform everyday tasks with a goofy control scheme and wild physics that leads to hilarious results. I was laughing like an idiot at [LARGE ELECTRONICS RETAIL CHAIN] as I played it on a PS4 demo station.

So sort of like a more fleshed out, mission-based CLOP or QWOP? That sounds like fun.

March? Guh, was waiting for January on the PS4 as well. Looks pretty great, though, so hoping it'll be worth the wait.

Same here dude. My girlfriend and I were having a blast getting through that demo. I'm super stoked to play it when it comes out.

If this was Greenlight it'd be a thumbs down.

Maybe it's something you just have to play to get. (I doubt it)

so when did you lose the capacity to have joy in your life

They really upped those graphics eh. Remember when it looked like a PS2 game. Good on them for sticking with this octodad thing. Pretty funny, but it always reminds me of Chicken-Boo.

Didn't Octodad start as an anti-drug game? Or was that something else?

On the Bombcast a bit ago the guys mentioned that this is a game that doesn't really make sense until you play it. Apart from the absurdity, I'm not sure I get what the excitement is about...but I'd love to play it sometime.

I never imagined that Octodad could pull on my heartstrings, but the end of that trailer was good. And yes, please, tell me ALL about sharks.

This game will break Giant Bomb's awards as it's clearly "game of the forever."

How did she get a free trip to the aquarium? She is the one who is really hiding something.
