Too bad I played it once and that's all someone needs to play it.

I'm impressed with that description of the game by Patrick, it made me chuckle. I would love to play this game, but I didn't think it was worth $20 at the time. I think at this point I kind of know what happens in the game though.

Developers spoke recently of how MS's ID@Xbox or whatever it was called program had things in it that scared developers away, but with how they turned around on some of those things I think it'll be both of them.

..what's a WiiU? D:

The big question is Xbox One and PS4, or Xbox 360 and PS3 (or all?!?)?

I'm really glad this is happening, so I can finally check this game out. My PC is too junky to run most stuff well, so I enjoy stuff better on consoles/handhelds.

@klinkcow:

That's what I want to know. I have a PC but it's 4 years old so I can't play it at all on it. I got to the door and it kept stuttering when I moved the mouse. Everything on the PS4 has been free that was brought over from PC. I would still buy it but would like to know if it's next gen or not.

Makes me wonder what kind of trophies/achievements the game will have since consoles require those.

I love how Patrick described this game. '' Emotional first-person walking simulator. '' This is so devilishly funny.

Awesome. I bought this on Steam but I'm a console gamer so I so much rather have it there.

I was waiting for a sale on steam...but if I can play on my console, I'd be willing to drop the money they've been asking for.

When it's inevitable free for PS+, I'll play it again for the trophies, but I can't think of another game in recent memory that left me feeling so utterly ripped off (despite being "good.")

I finally picked up this game during the valentines sale on steam, but it ran like garbage on my Mac. Lowest settings it still stuttered like crazy...and I still loved it. Since it's only 2 hours, I might play it again...PS+ maybe?

Hey guys, I came back from the year 2024 to tell you that because of Gone Home was considered game of the year by elitist pro-PC agenda "journalist" hacks, all other types of videogames have been declared illegal by all world governments. Good going you guys...

Ehhh, I don't think so. Is dialing your phone gameplay? Is playing with the radio in your car gameplay?

For something to be a game it has to have rules and goals. Football is a game. Monopoly is a game. Super Mario Bros. is a game. Gone Home is interactive art.

@oasisbeyond: I mean if you don't know what the word 'gameplay' is then sure.
