I'm not trying to be snarky, or shit on the game or anything. Since it came out, this game has gotten some fantastic word of mouth, and now it's up for the grand prize at the IGF awards. However, from the quick look, it doesn't really look like there's much to this thing.

Don't get me wrong, burning things can be great fun, and it genuinely looks like a good time. I'm just curious where the praise is coming from. Is this game more than it seems? Or do they just come up with exceedingly interesting ways to burn things as the game goes on?

Hey guys, I just finished ep. 1 myself. I loved it. It definitely created a great sense of place. Sucked me in right from the start

Oh, and when you're riding the tram, turn the lights off.

I didn't even think to do that... Oh well, gives me an excuse to play it again

@Jackhole: Not bad! I'd totally listen to that

Do people really think local multiplayer is dead? I can only speak from personal experience, but I have friends over all the time, and we would have a blast with something like this. And even if it is dead, isn't it worth trying to bring back? I have way more fun playing games with people that are in the room with me, rather than playing with someone I can only hear through a headset. I don't know, "because local multiplayer is dead" seems like a poor reason. If you aren't interested in Joust, I get that, but there are 3 other games in that package that are definitely worth $15

I just picked mine up at the local Best Buy, and there were several boxes just sitting around of both versions. I don't know, doesn't really feel like a proper game console release. If this is what Nintendo's launch is like, it makes me wonder how Microsoft's and Sony's new consoles will do.

I actually think they've been getting more hilarious lately. That could just be the sudden injection of more Vinny though

That sweet, sweet Vin-jection

I fucking love board games. I playing Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, Dixit, Say Anything, Pandemic, Creationary (which is surprisingly awesome), and a whole bunch more. I could keep listing but that would be rather tedious.

Also, I think you'd be surprised by how many people would like spending 3 hours playing a board game. I have a bunch of friends from a bunch of different backgrounds, and they all love playing board games. Try out Settlers of Catan. It's longish (about two hours), and heavy on strategy, but it's easy to pick up and everyone I've ever played with has loved it. Ticket to Ride is another great, low impact strategy game.

And board games really aren't all that time consuming, unless you consider hanging out with your friends and family a waste of time. The bigger problem is that they are expensive. Even just writing this post makes my wallet hurt.

Early Worth Reading!

HELL YEAH! So stoked I finally got that quest on my favorite feature on the site

Holy hell, that's funny.

I hope to see more ridiculous things out of you in the future

AWESOME! I'd totally have a poster that looks like that
