Was Fez a good game?
Eat a dick.... choke on it....
I didn't play it but what I saw didn't seem amazing people had already done the perspective thing and there wasn't really a fail state as if you fell off you were placed right where you fell from
>>738823631Maybe instead of making QR codes, Phillippe should have made enemies, hazards and boss fights.
>>738823631no
>>738823631No. And I like puzzlers.
Yes it was pretty cool
speaking of indie fags...I read somewhere that the guy who created Braid has done nothing but sit and seethe about life for like 20 years now, and I could not have been happier to hear that.
>>738824062He put out another game that's even more pretentious, and then apparently spent the rest of the time writing a programming language from scratch that he might someday write a game for.
Compare your life to mine and then KILL YOURSELF
>>738824418>He put out another game that's even more pretentious>already forgotten way before releaseBlow should kill himself with a souljaboy cd
>>738823631Toby did the exact same thing and you fags handed him the world on a silver platter.
>thread made with the sole purpose of making anons punch their screens
>>738824714No, not really.Both are not true games, but undertale have a bunch of hot animals, and toby fox didn't acted like a fucking asshole 24/7
>>738823631What is he up to nowadays anyway?
>>738823631cool tech demo, bro
>>738823631it's fun for an hour until you realize you don't want a puzzle game to be pretentious
>>738823631What was his fucking problem?

nobody really cares about it 14 years latermeanwhile people still love and talk about Spleunky, Hotline Miami, and Faster Than Light (indie games that also released in 2012)so I'm going to say no, it was not
>>738824893Playing the shit out of Rez
>>738825274actually I misrememberedto be fair to Spelunky, the remake was the game released in 2012, the original was 2008
No one cares. Games are products of their time and non of them age particularly well as technology progresses. This is why they cannot be art.
this type of male does not exist anymore in the current political climate
>>738823631I didn't play it, Phil Fish was too much of a cunt for me to bother
>>738825274I gave FTL a real try after years of it sitting in my backlog and ended up putting ~150 hours in one month. What a great game. I'll play Into the Breach next, hope it's as good
He supports women who rape men
>>738825564ITB is pretty meh
>>738823631Why does this faggot have the must punchable face on the planet? is it the glasses?
It was a decent concept made by a dev who couldn't do anything with it. Made during a time when indie games were being fetishized and people were desperately trying to push games as art.
it was okay but this guy acted like he released the mona lisa or something
>>738825274Hotline Miami kind of fell off compared to the others but it was still far bigger than FEZ. You also had games like Journey which definitely made a larger splash too. Phil Fish wanted to make some grand point about developers he knew nothing about and couldn't take the shade thrown back at him
>>738823631Kinda funny how he talked so much shit about how Japanese game design was outdated (as if that was some kind of insult). Well, his ilk are still seething about Japanese games to this day so not much has changed really.
>>738829239between like 2006 and 2016 Japanese (outside of kiddy stuff like Nintendo or westernized like Capcom) games were often seen as weird or lame, as this was the peak era of dudebro gaming with stuff like CoD, AssCred, Fallout, Skyrim, Halo
>>738823932I'm the worst millenial ever and didn't know wtf a QR code was when I played through it so I missed out on some easter eggs or some shit I guess. They were still pretty new at the time right?
>>738825274Even back then I hardly ever saw people discuss Fez itself, just Phil's sperging. I think it was briefly mentioned in an Ahoy video but that was it.
>>738829512And it was wrong then. From released Demons Souls in 2009, Okami was in 2006, Vanquish, Nier, Dragon's Dogma, Gravity Daze, Revengeance, anyone not paying attention to Japanese games was being blind or obtuse.
>>738825432this also applies to movies. 70s movies look like shit nowadays. Next year everyone will have a hard awakening when they realese the shitty 70 version of Star Wars. I expect the comparison threads to be a wild ride
>>738829881>From released Demons Souls in 2009, Okami was in 2006, Vanquish, Nier, Dragon's Dogma, Gravity Daze, Revengeancehmm maybe he was right
>>738829568Yeah, it's reasonable to not know what the fuck that is at the time.
>>738823631just another indie "masterpiece" in the era of "indies are the future!"
>>738825274>SpelunkyFez clears high diff>Hotline MiamiFez clears low diff>FTLZero diff
>>738825274isaac is the closest thing to a game from that era still mattering
>>738823631Not particularly. It was just ok.
>>738823631I didn't know about the controversy, and it was actually alright. Wouldn't say it was great, but it was solid. And it was more indie than Mixtape at least.
Phil Fish has gone utterly insane.https://mastodon.social/@PHIL_FISH
>>738824714He did not participate in a navel gazing documentary highlighting how much of a giant cunt he is.
>>738824062his programming language is pretty hyped and will be successful when he does an open-beta
>>738831223You sure that's him?
>>738830410i mean, they are
>>738823631No but he was a good co-host.
>>738824062He should've made an animation of the princess in world 1 getting dressed (time always moves backwards in world 1).
>>738823631I wouldn't know. I never had a desire to play it, even before I knew he was a massive fuckhead. For my money, it always seemsd stupid and highly overrated.
>>738823631It was pretty mid and required a guide or autism to translate the runes to win.The dev was a fucking tard.
>>738831387>be 100% right>still lose
>>738825432You attempted to elicit a response, but my bait sense is too powerful to be overcome by an amateur like you.
>>738829112more like Fail Fish lmao
>>738829978This gotta be bait or zoomer post, old movies shit all over modern slop, until you go back to the first decades of film
>>738830410>"indies are the future!"*looks st the state of AAA gaming*Yeah... how silly hahahaha...
>>738831357It's him, he became yet another violent shitlib account on mastodon.social and no one cares, twitter fags are not aware and everyone that shat on him for being a french hipster 10 years ago moved on.He's probably blacklisted from the industry for fedposting too much.
>>738831223Thank you for the yellow paint showing me where to look, kind anon
>>738823631Yes. Phil is awesome for bringing it to Vita.
>>738831860im a gamedev, youer welcome
>>738824418People using the word "pretentious", "crazy" etc just exposes themselves.
>>738825274Man, 2012 was a good year for indie games. >>738829112I blame Hotline Miami 2.
>>738831223America already does invade, just uses military as pressure rather than bombs. All the tranny, surveillance, immigration is American.If somewhere was defended: America would attack it.
The soulja boy meme just makes me think that the average /v/razilian would kill themselves because a literal nigger rapper laughed at him.Are you that afraid of cool nigger?
>>738831990I get that it's overused, but Braid is a Mario clone except the princess runs away from the player to to not!Bowser and it ends on a quote about the atomic bomb. It wants to be a deep art piece without actually picking a theme and building the rest around it.
>>738831786based
>>738832246anons will say no, chimp out and start bitching about niggers this and niggers that, but truthfully they are afraid. they all fear soulja boy shitting on their magnum opus.
>>738832240Is it a french canadian or puerto rican or mexican thing to imagine yourself being raped by a big american tranny invader cock (fan fiction, headcanon) when you just live in a shit country and amerizog did not cause that?America already voted for Trump, why are you still voting for Liberal in Canada and (((Sheinbaum))) in Mexico.Mexico got a jewish president before America, how zogged is that?
>>738832438Yeah probably. It's a huge disincentive to making something great, that a nigger might play it.Truly disgusting. No wonder the world is so held back. Untill niggers are exterminated the world is effectively in hold.
>be me 10 years ago>watching a documentary about videogames>phil fish is presented as the most influential indie dev of the decardedid I hallucinate this documentary or was it real?
>>738832541That's why Jon Blow makes puzzles, it's not for niggers.And the language programming he's been working on for 10 years is just to flex on C++ for being voodoo and niggerlicious, Bjarne is BLACK.
>>738832653*yellow paint* programming language* *yellow paint*
>>738823631It was okay
>ctrl+f 'zoe'>0 resultshe was running around the same very early SA (SomethingAwful) rings as our esteemed acquaintance Zoe Quinn, among OTHER trust fund babies
>>738829881Read that as "blind or obese" and I thought it was funny
>>738832828Alec Holowka tapped that pussy and the pussy made him kill himself.Put that bitch Zoe Quinn in prison, avenge the "Night in the Woods community".
>>738824989You dont know what fez is do you?
>>738823631No. The game ran like shit.
>>738825564Into the breach filters people cause its a puzzle gameSee>>738827987
>>738823631Not with the nonexistant sequel
>>738831734retard.
>>738824062After he made Braid he actually released one of the greatest puzzle games out there disingenuous-kun
>>738833417The Looker wasn't that good.
What's interesting is I think this was the start of Social media's influence on video games. Social media had gained use of 50% of the population and because it tends to create cancerous attention whoring people (see zoe quinn, anita sarkessian), we got to see first hand a fag who came from that realm trying to make a video games and failing. I don't miss this era of the internet at all and so glad that it died by the time of covid. With the exception of the elections and many vydias, I'm glad its over. I just wish now we had an actual culture
>>738833009>trust fund baby prisonLOL
>>738833685fez itself didn't fail it reviewed and sold well. the crashout came later.
>>738824714Toby doesn't shit on people at Q&A's, star in a circlejerk documentary(Mcmillen seems chill at least) and throw tantrums on twitter.
>>738833009She deserves to be thrown out of the window for all the biblical evils she unleashedhttps://youtu.be/Zz5kJiAs4ZE
Mandatory watchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmTUW-owa2w
>>738833828Toby humblebrags every chance he gets on social media.
>>738831786huh, that's kinda disappointing. Always thought he was pretty based for fucking off from social media completely before it really took off
Toby Fox is a niggerfaggot and I don't care about his 10 year long nothing project that will never ever be completed.
>>738834090Dude the retards that run this board trying to get people to unbuy a game that came out a year ago are whining that he has given them no material to bitch about in over a month
nigga fuck toby chucklefish
>>738832292>Braid is a Mario cloneand you're a down syndrome clone
>>738831223>memestodon
>>738833234You only liked it because they went out of their way to make the characters ugly.
>>738824062What are you talking about? he released "the witness" as well and this year he will release "order of the sinking star" and also a programming language. He has also worked on several other games (not his own games, others games).
>>738835484Ah yes, when you go to a new world, jump off the little brown guys and eventually make it to another boss battle against king shithead, there's no way you'd ever be reminded of a Mario game. Go ahead and claim nothing in Braid is at all similar to Mario.
Fez is the best indie game ever made but the internet is too butt blasted over Fish to ever admit it.
Haters will never admit it but yeah Fez was legit goodPhil Fish on the other hand was a nigger, and worse than that, he was a Fr*nch-C*nadian nigger
>>738835871ummm but Mario doesn't have a go back in time potion
>>738831786you can tell how permanently retarded he is that he went to mastodon instead of blueksy
>>738831223>Acting like america would kill leafs instead of just walking into parliament hill and taking it
Generic puzzle platformer with the "change perspective" gimmick he stole off someone else. There's nothing special about the game. That's why it was so funny he spent years absolutely shitting on other games and other devs (including the entire japanese industry at the time) when he hadn't even released a game and was working on the most generic game of all time.He was a complete hack in almost every way. The only compliment I can give him is that at least he did eventually release his game. His problem was being an eternal petulant child who thought he was way more intelligent than he was.
>>738836286>can't discuss the game without seething about Fishwhy would anyone take your opinion seriously?
>>738835871>another boss battle against king shitheadso you didn't play the game
>>738836426There's nothing else to talk about, lol. There's nothing special about the game. The only reason people even remember it is because of how much of a retard he was and how he'd always have meltdowns.
>>738824062I remember him seething because the braid remake sold like shitThe issue is that braid was never a particularly good game, it was just one of the first indie games so it had nothing to compete against
>>738836501>nothing special about the gamekek
>>738836604Go on then, let's hear it. Enlighten us.
>>738836456Are you going to pretend that battling a guy labeled Boss is not a boss battle?
>>738836526it also had 0 marketing. so easy to just do "THE ORIGINAL INDIE CLASSIC IS BACK" and make every zoomer larp about it
>>738823631it doesn't even matter if it was good he got his bag and is set for life. Although it couldn't have happened to a worse person who didn't deserve any success
>>738835871first of all that's not mario that's donkey kongsecond of all it's a blatant reference for cute stylistic and thematic purpose but the gameplay is nothing like it and the level design evolve from there since it's entirely designed around the rewind mechanic as a puzzle platformer, a genre that never got really fleshed out puzzle design until braidmario is a platformer, donkey kong (gb) was a very basic single-screen puzzle platformer evolved with more puzzle focus from the arcade version but its puzzles remained basic since nintendo only design for literal children, braid was one of the first puzzle platformers that was designed around one novel puzzle mechanic and exploring its design possibilities with trickiness complexity in mindit's a game for puzzle fans with a puzzle focus not for platforming fans, how braindead do you have to be to think it's like mario unless you just want to simply say you've never actually played the gameyou're an unironic retard who can only see obvious surface level shit but never had a single thought about actual game design shut the fuck upkill yourself i tire of retards like you polluting this board with endless retardation
>>738836841he was a trustfund bab to begin with. how do you think he had the money to slack off for 5 years. even kvetched and went AAAAAAAAACK I CANT FIX GAMEBREAKING BUGS BECAUSE I HAVE TO PAY $10000 PER PATCH
>>738836851>braid was the first puzzle platformer!!!it's a ripoff of the average flash game on kongregate
>>738836940i told you to shut the fuck up
>>738836851>that's not mario that's donkey kongThat's the game called Donkey Kong. Who is the player character of that game?
>>738836286>including the entire japanese industry at the timeThere it is. The only reason Weebs are still seething about him. Mental illness.
>>738837006jumpman
>>738836697It still wouldn't have sold well since it isn't really good. Like if the dev of Hotline Miami and HM2 came back and remastered the games and marketed it, THAT would have gotten a response but like Soulja Boy was saying no one gave a shit about Braid or any of the games a lot of 7th gen indie devs were making because they were kinda shit and only had novelty on their side. The only one that had novelty, scarcity and actual quality to back up the game being remastered on modern systems and ensuring sales was the Scott Pilgrim beat em up on the 360. A lot of Western 7th gen indie devs were just spoiled retards that never understood that that was their 15 minutes of fame, not an actual means to progress their career (especially with the way they acted so fucking childish in public, burning bridges left and right). They should've just got real jobs instead of making shitty trash no one cared about a month after their release.
>>738837032The only person seething is him. Literally every Japanese dev and weeaboo he insulted moved on and forgot a nobody that shitposts on not-Twitter:>>738831786>>738831223He hasn't made a game in more than a decade and his first game is okay but not enough to back up all the shit he was talking about Japan. The dude is a living testament to midwittery.
>>738823631wtf is this dysgenic phenotype?
I've got the platinum on this game and no, it's a shitty pretentious game from a shitty pretentious faggot shilled by shitty, pretentious game urinalists that are now all out of business or in jail.
>>738831387I really don’t understand why he did this. Was getting caught part of his plan?
>>738823631It was okay.But the thing is like... at launch it cost 10 dollars, while at the time people were making equally complex flash games with better puzzles for free. So that is something that must be kept in mind when judging it. It was a paid version of a superior, free product. Like I don't recall one with this 2D perspective shift mechanic, but ones with equally complex mechanics, certainly.With that in mind, it's kind of impossible to say this game had a fair price when equal products that seemed even higher effort were free. Like some of those old flash games put fez to shame. I would rather play, Bloons and Sonny and Mario 63 than Fez any day.If Fez were free it would be an 8/10. But as it is, it's a 5. Nothing special with a reddit gimmick.
>>738823631It was a great concept but instead of making a mario-like platformer it was a puzzle game and a tedious one too. so a bunch of people tried it out and got filtered
>>738837484he's a midwit and didnt realize
>>738831223That's funny because the Canadian government was dismissive of the Chinese triads and the Chinese Communist Party creating invasion routes into America through Canada via the Sidewinder report. Now tell me Phil, who is a close ally of the Chinese? the fact that he mentioned Putin is also someone who would be willing to facilitate that. There is actually more evidence to suggest a reversal of what he claims.But Canada's government was dismissive of all it.There's some reason to believe Trudeau is a fairly comprised politician as well regarding some of his fathers history.
>>738823631It was excellent. And the soundtrack was absolutely brilliant.>>738829978>70s movies look like shit nowadayslol
>>738837032I honestly don't care who he insulted specifically. I just find it very funny he has the gall to call so many games shit while he had never even released a game himself (and his game was shit). The ego is honestly awe-inspiring.
>>738837394I knew a guy in highschool with the exact same phenotype and he was insufferable in a lot of the same ways. He was extremely fake and put on this super gay indie-music hippie personality. He was also massively arrogant despite having no achievements to back it up.
>>738838250>he has the gall to call so many games shit>his game was shit>while he had never even released a game himselfWhat games have you released?
>is the better indie meta puzzle game in your path
>>738838304You've trapped him. Anon is a shit game dev too.
>>738838304>>738838363It doesn't matter if I call games shit, because I just called them shit.When Phil called them shit he pointed out "oh the interfaces are shit" etc... and then he said "we are totally kicking your ass". He's saying that he himself was doing a way better job, as his position of authority to validate his opinion. He wasn't, he hadn't even released a game.
>>738831786sad pathetic life
>>738838350larper game
Imagine spending 5 years coding a puzzle game for infants just to get filtered by a Soulja Boy tweet and a fucking QR code. Phil Fish is a French-Canadian speedrun of a midlife crisis who peaked at being a background character in a documentary nobody watched. Fez wasn't art, it was a glorified screen-saver for trust fund hipsters who think 'retro' is a personality trait. Blow and Fish are just the Two Towers of pretentious faggotry, seething into the void while Japanese devs keep winning because they actually make GAMES instead of programming languages for 'someday.' Kill your idols and then kill the 'indie is the future' cope, it's all slop.
>>738829978>70s movies look like shit nowadaysblame the dickheads that put movies through a filter intead of doing a their job and remaster it properly
>>738824418>might someday write a game for.Order of the Sinking Star is coming out later this year. There was actually a premature announcement released yesterday that was deleted in a minute, but it confirmed that the game will also come out on the Switch 2. There was a video linked that's supposed to be a more proper, in-depth trailer, but it's private.
>>738823631>a v-video game maker... made a-a-a video game?!?! and then he s-said some mean things!!! :( !!! Anonymous Assemble!!!!!!! /v/ we must put a stop this this right away!!!!!he's fine, great even. typical /v/ overreaction, like so many things.>>738824062he made the greatest video game of all time right after braid. funny comment anon, you alright.
>>738823631Yes, and it's still beautiful.
I didn't expect so many anons to defend Phil FishBut i guess he got away with the status of a gamergate victim or whatever spinwork he did to make himself not look like a complete jackass after his meltdown over Marcus Beer from Game Trailers.
>>738824893seething on mastodon about US politics for a few years
>>738823631No, it was pointless pretentious garbage.
>>738832323>wearing a turtle vest Is he getting raped already?
>>738838304Hi phil
>>738836501the only thing that people really remember about fez besides its creator being a blowhard is that some puzzles are so fucking obtuse that we still don't know how they're meant to be solved all these years later. i think someone came up for a theory how people were supposed to obtain the black monolith code, and it involved some bullshit with the poetry book and the crop circles, but nobody is really sureif people cant solve some puzzles over a decade after release, maybe your puzzles are too fucking obtuse? just a thought
>>738823631Ugly, pretentious soi garbage.
>>738823631Easily a 10/10 game.Dunno why people get so butthurt over the developer making a futurama reference.
>>738823887
>>738848219He never stated development on Fez 2.The Fez 2 trailer was the first Fez Trailer, but only 1 pixel wide.I love how comitted he is to the troll
>>738823631I guess that if you're into indie slop it's an ok game. Not so much if you have standards.
>>738841880Hi Phil
>>738828106He's can*dian
>>738823631Baba is Me was better
What is this video or tweet of Soulja Boy shitting on Fez or Braid?
>>738849594ESL
>>738824062No idea how true is that statement of yours, but I've seen a clip of him praising Terry Davis on YT yesterday for some reason - so I wouldn't be suprized that he's just an yet another egotistic pseudointellectual.
>>738831223>>738831786>>738836086>>738846217>Mastodon >not BlueSkySo he's an actual paedophile?
>>738836526Played it recently and its actually a good puzzle platformer, at least as far as world 3.
>>738832246What are you saying? Its just because theres a sad piano playing while a guy is crying in a dark room and the fucking phantom of soulja boy echoes "THIS GAME DUMB AS HELL MANE".
>>738823631Japan >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> shit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Phil
>>738823631did they ever find all secrets and eastereggs for the game?
i love playing it when i was 14 when it came out
All I really remember about Fez is The Best Gamers' review of it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuZ5EZ7hg0Q
>>738831387>I'm a worm now is he >I'm a worm>I'mKekkidy
>>738823631I played it but I don’t remember many specifics. There was a cool light show at the end and I never bothered with the secrets. A platformer with no enemies or bosses is weak. A 2D walking sim.
FEZ was a great game. Everyone who likes games should give it a shot if you can find it cheap or pirate it. I loved the music too.
>>738841718Here we go.https://youtu.be/q3PUtYGl3J0
>>738852408Other way around, unless they are arrows telling you which way to go to escape niggers.

>>738858550Indeed.https://youtu.be/fE31w3aH6Lc
>>738836526>we put a lot of effort into the braid remake and it didn't sell well, that sucks>I remember him seething Holy shit, you autistic subhuman. Please kill yourself.
>>738849594You're retarded. It's a video of Soulja Boy playing and enjoying Braid, but for retarded reasons. Next to it is an interview of Mr. Blowhard saying "I thought I would feel a connection to the people who enjoy my game, but I got this screaming monkey instead". People decided that this means that Blow was blown the fuck out.
it sucked bigly
>>738823631WHOOOOOOOP AINT NO POINT TO THIS GA-Oh wait, wrong kusoge
>>738832246Uh no? It's just funny. The thing is Soulja Boy actually enjoyed the game, as a fun but pointless timewaster, but le Braidman was upset that he didn't appreciate its allegedly deep themes. Which really, it wasn't just SB, most people who played or watched the game just saw a silly little platformer with rewind powers. His autism made him unable to cope with the fact that players didn't "get" the deep thoughts he felt he had put into the game. He never wanted to make a game is the problem. He wanted to use the game to create a captive audience for his midwit philosophical rambling. So it wasn't that Soulja Boy made fun of his game that broke him. SB merely crystallized the zeitgeist - that gamers didn't give a fuck about whatever nonsense he was trying to say with braid. Either they didn't understand or didn't care.
