>average playtime expected to be 500 hoursWhat the FUCK is the rest of the game industry doing?
making actual games instead of repetitive AI-generated puzzles
You know that 3 of those hours is going to be spent waiting for video of John Blow masturbating while pretentious narration plays dictating the importance of appreciating ~art~
>>739090875The average playtime is going to be like 2 hours, because the average player will become bored and do something else.
>>739090992each puzzle has a unique human idea thoughbeit
>>739090875Why do puzzle games do this? I get bored of even the best ones like Baba is You before I get close to finishing them. I played it for 50 hours. They later added a bunch more puzzles that I won’t ever solve.
>>739091348baba is you isn't very good in the scheme of block pushing puzzle games
These 10 years of dev time and money better be worth it to put this much effort into a Sokoban game.
It would make more sense to release a small base game with a reasonable amount of puzzles for cheap then sell puzzle packs or episodes (if it’s a story based game) as DLC.
It's going to be game of the decade but /v/ will hate it because the hardest puzzle game they've played is Portal 2
>>739090875You act like 500 hours is surprising when the game is 4-5 puzzle games jammed into one package
>>739090875Games
Way too many mechanics and ideas. The best puzzle games have a like 1 solid main mechanic with a few twists.
>>739091348>>739091442I'm sorry I know the git gud mentality is obnoxious but if you dislike BiY you're a midwit
>>739093561i beat baba is you, and a bunch of extra levelsits just not as good as stephens sausage roll or bonfire peaks or Paquerette Down the Bunburrows
>>739091095I enjoyed that one in The Witness.
>>739090875Not spending 10 years and 28 million dollars on a puzzle game.
>>739090875he should have made a game that wasn't a sokoban
>>739090875Respecting my time
>>739093404I've played 2 of the 4 games it's based on and they only took a few hours each to complete
Completion Time is not the same as "average time" and so for this random retarded reason I will ignore this game entirely.
>>739091348Baba is You is great mechanically, but it's not good at teaching mechanics. This game will be, considering Blow's history with The Witness.
>>739091594>It would make more sense to release a small base game with a reasonable amount of puzzles for cheapThis was the original intention. But Blow and other people at Thekla kept trying to explore more of the possible mechanic combinations, and the game quickly blew up in scope.
>>739090875I look forward to whatever "The Looker"-like parody game will come out of this one.Not interested in pretentious philosophical garbage or time wasting, obtuse puzzles otherwise.
>>739098724>He thinks that The Witness was obtuseIt's probably for the best that you won't play this, then. It would be annoying to see you constantly complaining in the threads.
>>739098724yeah you dont play video gamesthats why you're on /v/
>>739091594>It would make more sense to financially exploit your playerbaseyes, but that's not the kind of man Jon is, kike
>>739090992>>739098245nobody told you people about combinatorics. and it shows...
>>739100463here's the thing
>>739090875I wish I enjoyed sokoban games because I'm sure it'll be good.
>>739091348Why are you complaining about there being more puzzles to solve if you ever feel like going back? You had your fun and decided "that's enough" but the fact that there's more bothers you?
>>739090875Making actually long games and not this puny 500 hours stuff.
>>739102017what game
>>739102075Tactical Nexus
>>739090875>500 hours Baby numbers
>>739102374500 hours of actual gameplay, not of idling
Putting in actual work instead of wasting this much time on a bunch of sliding block puzzles. Baba and Zachtronics games both mog this.
>>739103451Baba is sliding block puzzles though
>>739090875god i can't wait for 500 hours of blowkino
>>739102406>actual gameplayThe gameplay
>>739103564What is this even supposed to mean?
>>739098296The Witness is ok in teaching some mechanics, but even tutorial sound puzzles are ass, much less the ship one, and some environmental puzzle solutions aren't taught at all and you just have to stumble upon them. I've missed the burnt lines multiple times just becuase i wasn't looking at the panel from the right angle when approaching it. Great fucking design Blowjonb.
>>739103669There's a joke hidden in the name of this store. Notice how the last 3 letters of each word are all "eed" modeled after Sneed, well put Chuck in place of Sneed and replace "uck" as the last 3 letters of each and it makes "Chuck's F--- and Suck" [Which is apparently in circulation on playgrounds throughout America -- Ed.]. I thought it was rather clever of them.
>>739103669>mind broken to the point of derecognition
>>739090875jon blow it out your ass
>>739104252I know that it's the Simpsons, I just don't get the point that anon was trying to make by posting it. What does it represent?
