I felt the same. Game was just crap.
>>729310925>john blow making his next revolutionary game>supposed to be even better than the witness >he's making a fucking programming language for it>it's been years in the making it's gonna be the most mind blowing game we'll e er see>trailer is out>block pushing puzzle game
buy an ad, nigger
>>729312910we've known what the gameplay is like for years and years. the working title was "sokoban" and he showed it in action many times.
>>729313128I just looked into it now and it was extremely underwhelming. I really hope there's some more things he's keeping a secret to make it more interesting.
>>729312910it's a tech demo for the languageif it looks like a game to you that's because your expectations are way too low
What race even is that?
>>729313314californian
>>729313226Why do you hope for that? Jonathan Blow's games have been shovelware slop with a literally who preaching philosophy at me. He's like Kojima where everyone acts like he's some genius when overall he's incredibly mid, and so far none of Blow's games have done anything at all to gaming culture
>>729310925It kinda looks like hes in a bath tub
>>729310925Say what you want about Blow but he has some absolutely based takes. This is one of them.
>>729310925He's being overly dramatic about it but his complaints are fair. Startup logos are always annoying and benefit nobody, content warnings are for fucking babies and putting confirmations on every menu option is tedious, even worse when they do the "hold button to accept" shit that is way too common even if not present in this particular game.
>>729313502I didn't care for braid but the witness was really good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWqnz-7iQbY
>>729310925He sounds like a faggot
>>729310925Baldy roundy-heady twat
>>729310925i am not watching your slop YT videoad revenue is not real money and a scummy way to make a living
>>729313314Ashkenazi + Slav
Yeah? let's see what soulja boy thinks
>>729313502The Witness filtered me when the rules started changing
>>729310925>has a melty over a waning screenAre all devs this autistic?
>>729312910he has like 3 games in production. the sokoban, a vr game and the main "game 3".
>>729310925>that low test immasculated voice>anti wokeHe sounds like the guys from 2 best friends, he sounds like this sort of shit should be just up his alley.
>>729312910https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SONQTu9QHGANon stop threads for the past few years, there's a reason why.
>>729310925>>729314147The resemblance is uncanny
>>729310925>confirmation pop up for starting a new game>THAT'S IT THIS GAME IS FUCKING UNPLAYABLE GARBAGE FUCK THIS
>>729312910>10 years of developing for a shitty Sokoban game with an artstyle straight out of a 2015 Play Store chink gameI look forward the inevitable flop and Blow's nuclear meltdown.
>>729312910>block pushing puzzle gameIt has a lot of impressive tech in it. Which is irrelevant to you because you don't actually care about video games, but still.
>>729313314Looks English
>>729317603Why would you need a confirmation pop up for starting a new game when you have no previous game saves?
>>729318453Why is it such a big deal?
>>729313314>>729314491Looks slavoidish but I doubt he's jewish.
>>729318613Because it shows that the developers are cargo cultists that put zero thought into UX from the beginning
Not buy a game from MAGA supporting incel
>>729318890>Not buy a gameI bet that basterd bitch doesn’t support H1B from bharat
>>729318680while putting a huge amount of EFFORTinto it. that's the baffling part. they went through loads of trouble (nigger warning, automated camera turns, a bazillion text pop ups, hold to skip, "confirm" to do the only thing you can do, telling the player how to crouch when there is no need for crouching yet etc) only to make their game worse than if they had just done none of these things. they built entire features just to make the game less engaging.
>>729310925EY SOULJA BOI TELLEM JON BLOWHARD AINT PUT OUT A HIT SINCE 2012
>>729318209okay, what kind of tech
>>729319057another example:>preventing you from pausing / opening the menu during cutscenesliteral anti-feature. just don't do this and your game is already improved.
>>729315587Based. Void stranger made me like sokobans
>>729310925>content warning>"this makes me not wanna play it"so same as silent hill 1, resident evil 1, etc? this shit has been there forever. I don't really have a problem with short content warning in the beginning, especially for shit like flashing lights, I'd rather have that one second warning for those who'd like to back out and devs NOT censoring their game
>>729310925>Nick Cave tanktopTrying way too hard, go find a nice girl and make a family
>>729319465Grow up.
>>729315587Has Blow even played this game? I think the gay would give him the ick.
Its really weird to me that in a post Baba world, Blow opted to make a regular sokoban game. I'm sure the puzzles are good, but it doesnt appear to have any real hook
>>729320107>regular sokoban game>literally made the sokoban game to kill all sokoban games by putting 4 different sokoban games into it and then elevating them beyond all sense
>>729319465I put a content warning on my game, but that's because it has explicit fucking sex scenes and I don't want some kid to find the .exe on his dad's computer and start playing without knowing what's in store for him.
>>729312910>block pushing puzzle game>sword swinging adventure game>gun shooting action gameI hope this puts in perspective how narrow your vision of a game is.
>>729310925What a whiny faggot.
That tank top of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds made me laugh out loud what the fuck ahahhahahaha
>>729319465content warnings should be on a store page, BEFORE you buy a game, not shown to you every time you boot up the game. This is information you should have before you buy it and absolutely influences your purchase, so either you look into it and know, or you don't and its not conveyed to your properly and now you are maliciously blind sided.having it on new game start or something makes sense as well, but on launch? why.
>>729320904go back to twitter john
>>729320241I don't see that. The ad just shows sokoban+gimmicky characters who turn into werewolves on Thursdays and Fridays but can't eat gluten
Let's get Soulja Boy's opinion on this one, Mr. Blow.
Blow might be a pretentious faggot but his games are good so I'm looking forward to it. And I dislike Sokoban because I fucking suck at them.
>>729313502Braid definitely left a footprint, but only really because it was one of the first good XBLA games.
>>729310925BLOWBROS WE WON
>>729310925I hate this pretentious faggotbut hes 100% right here, I agree on all of his points, somehow
>>729310925There ain't no point man
>>7293192841000+ puzzle rooms fully interconnected and rendered without any loading screens in-between. Those rooms also combine with each other in real time to create multi-dimensional puzzles. All of that strongly optimized and working fast as hell. Plus there is a complex state management system, which allows you to undo moves a thousand times back.
>>729327497>1000+ puzzle rooms fully interconnected and rendered without any loading screens in-between.That's not the case. The overworld is only 120 screens, with each leading to isolated puzzles (there are also underground and sky overworlds). Rendering all of this is still pretty impressive, though.
>>729323501The trailer is rushed and sucks dick. If you want to see what this game is intended to be, play all 3 Heroes of Sokoban games, Mirror Isles, Skipping Stones to Lonely Homes, and Promesst 1 and 2. They are all free and short.>>729328312>Heroes, Duplicated2 wizards. Maybe more. Imagine.
Hr's being nitpicky but he's pretty much spot-on about the game being a game for 6-year olds. Seance's mystery solving is extremely handholdy and the timer the game has is not limiting in the slightest and you forget about it pretty quick. I really love the mindmap in Outer Wilds and Pathologic 2, but after playing Seance and Rue Valley this year along with other crappy mystery games I've already forgotten about, I've started to feel like other developers have used mindmaps as a crutch for lazy mystery design because their game world and characters are complete cardboard, as well as lazy gameplay design because they just rely on the player referring to it as a hint guide. It also does not help that those games have even less gameplay than Pathologic 2 even though you could describe that as a walking simulator due to a lack of management and stakes, visual novels or movies essentially but without the self-awareness that it is one.
>>729319465>resident evil 1>content warningAckshually RE1 didn't have that, that was RE2
>'ey how he did dat?>WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP
>>729310925>content advisoryyeah that shit's lame, no doubt, but he's a retard.>throws a bitch fit because he clicked 'new game' and it asked him if he wanted to start a new game>I can't do anything else!!!this is what is called>being in front of a camera so I have to make shitty nitpics for the 50 people watching me so I can pretend I'm entertainingsyndrome.
>>729328721Not him, but I plan on playing those only after Blow's game since it seems to take very direct inspiration from them which I kind of find to be a bummer because I was expecting something more novel with how long the game took to make. Sure he'll use those mechanics to their fullest extent and then some but still.
I swear to Christ I think I have developed a complex where seeing a human face fills with me with anger and disgust because of the sheer amount of fuck ugly loud obnoxious faggots jamming their nostrils into a camera so they can yap loudly about whatever dumb shit they are seeking attention for now. ME ME ME LOOK AT ME, you give normalfags access to the internet and all they fucking post is pictures of themselves. Fucking shut the fuck up you ugly sewer mutant looking retard, I don't care what you have to say about anything, hide your disgusting fucking gangrel visage from my eyes, I don't deserve the ocular abuse you are visiting upon me. Of all the virtues humanity as a whole is lacking, humility has to be the one we are most deficient in. Just practice sitting in a room on your own doing something while shutting the fuck up for like 10-15 minutes a day.
>>729310925JBlow may be a faggot but he's right here, all that shit is annoying.
>>729328721>if you want to see how Jon blow revolutionized sokoban games, play these other non Jon blow sokoban games that came first......
>>729310925>https://youtu.be/llK5tk0jiN8?si=SByIKx8QGETMeY_X&t=258Reminder Jonathan Blow's Sokoban needs to make over 20 MILLION DOLLARS just to break even after nearly a decade of development. He blames slow employees who make work that isn't good enough for the cost.
>>729320505Pussy
>>729333773how did he spend that much on something that looks like it should take a single dev less than a year
>>729310925The kind of content that the game has should be obvious from the art, screenshots, tags, etc. After all, you want to reach your market. Also, the world has everything that gets advisory warnings, and your kids will encounter it in the wild even if there's a total media ban. All of the arguments for the nanny society are feelz-based platitudes. Parents need to parent.>tax-funded schools actively bringing in predators to a captive audience of children and forcing them to listen to and read their propagandaTotally different problem. They're abusing their position of power to actively try to hijack the role of parent because they're scared that you might raise a child who can spot a malicious lunatic, might love his people and his culture instead of feeling guilty because deeply hypocritical grifters need him to, and might not want to live under the heel of their evil cult. I unironically advocate for the death penalty for everyone who's been involved in these efforts, especially the pig-faced Karens.I'd also be in favor of getting rid of ratings boards. This is one of those things that seem benign until you question the presumption that the ratings boards will be comprised of gamers with no political agenda, the media companies won't avoid making what the customers want in order to appease the ratings boards, and the politicians and storefronts will just let the games go to the shelves. Sorry, the tradeoff of grandma not needing to do her own research isn't worth it, especially given what I just said about political agendas corrupting the process. She can do her own research and use her brain.>WAAAAAH WHAT KIND OF SOCIETY DO WE LIVE IN WHERE I HAVE TO USE MY BRAINGet fucked.
