Congratulations on beginning your transition! And yes, toxic people pretty much live to make other people miserable. I hope you can get away from them. Be you and don't let them drag you down.
This just in: "worth" is relative! Thanks Ben Kuchera, Games Criticism Police! Sorry, I just find him tiresome at times. He takes a stance of critics should be nice by calling them assholes. Nice. Was there a lot of sneering pretentiousness from critics? I haven't read much outside of Giant Bomb coverage, other than some fantastic essays that were linked on Twitter.
I have piles of $60 games that I haven't finished and I played through Gone Home twice over the weekend. Then I made my husband sit down and start it last night. I feel like I got my $18 worth.
It goes back to a conversation the Bomb crew had recently (I think on the Bombcast?) on how price isn't a good metric for reviews. It's relative. I look at it as I gave a developer $18 for a unique experience and hopefully that enables them to go on and create more. I could on about the cost of things that aren't actual goods and how we gladly shell out the bucks for those, but like I said, it's relative. At this point in my life, I enjoy games that I can sit down and complete in a couple hours that are low pressure as far as game mechanics. Plus the story it told, I just loved everything about it.
Not yet, they're still working some stuff out with the Android build. They're hoping for sometime in August, according to the latest update. I hope it's soon because it won't run on either my iPod or iPad and I backed this silliness!
