What was the point of the game teaching you how to control each individual finger if there's no other point in the game where you make use of that function?
Walks down the the basement after an hour, fed up that She never arived. Closes and locks the door, walkes down the stairs and opens the cupboard to reveal a slightly moist figure wrapped in cloth. "WHY DIDNT YOU SHOW UP? I WAITED FOR HOURS AND YOU LEFT ME SITTING THERE LIKE AN IDIOT. . . HAVE YOU BEEN TALKING TO MOTHER AGAIN?!
It would have been awesome if there was a twist ending to this game where the knock on the door was a criminal who threatens to kill you but the guy starts a fight and they fall out a window and start fighting on the street, turning out to be one of the best action sequences in a game, ever. THAT would've been clever game design... And if the game was free.
game is about a person being stood up and his thoughts as the night progresses on his problems becoming less about being stood up, and you controlling things he does during it its being stood up without the emotional burden in short
At least Surgeon Simulator 2013 has the decency to select keys that your actual hand will align with. Dinner date makes you awkwardly curl your hands so all your fingers line up, with your thumb one row below. Not much thought went into the interface here. Or the interface, with it's giant brown bubbles that overlap each other. Heavy Rain had a better interface, and the command cues were still dodgy in that game.
I love the idea of someone tuning in on the stream for the first time, and missing the begining; they'd just think that's what Fraser and Becky always wear on the show.
Games that were imo better than Journey that are ps3 exclusive, Twisted Metal, any of the PS2 collections like Jak and Daxter or ratchet and clank, Tales of Graces f, littlebigplanet karting. And thats without looking at the PSN and just store buyable games.
I think the reason he liked Journey more than...This, is because Journey had an actual story. This is just some guy talking to himself about how lonely he is. No amount of Graphics could make anyone like this game. It impossible.
watching this again the 3rd time, i am kind curious about all the things the guy was saying in this game. just. not enough that i'd want to buy it or anything.
I love how fraser hated on this when people pay for journey and he loved it and that game is the most pretentious artsy game in recent memory. The story is up to you to interpret and the gameplay is basically follow the scarfs until you win, mostly just holding up.
If this was a free game, I'd say it's would be pretty awesome. I like this kinda stuff, and to be honest this guy is kinda like me. But having a price is ridiculous.
... say this game was made with cry engine and look absolutely beautiful with great looking water and not stupid looking hands he would be to busy staring at how pretty it is to even care and would probably just think the only reason it was made was to look pretty
But what determines a game? im sure some people can argue this is a game. And i have no problems with the gameplay being linear, although the game to me isnt worth the money and not even close to best ps3 exclusive, but its not really fun and the Souls series did do the multiplayer idea first. Sure its pretty to look at but thats honestly the only thing i can say good about it.
so you're saying you never had fun by staring at a pretty game ever i watched the fox engine demo over and over and over because it was pretty if this game was pretty i would play it walk away from my desk and say "that game was pretty, i enjoyed it" yes gameplay makes the game i believe that 100% but sometimes its just good enough with this short of a game to say... that was beautiful then never play it again... but this game was most definitely not pretty
It sucks being stood up, but the guy in this videogame deserved it. And I hope that whoever made this pile of poo gets stood up for the rest of his life.
I really hope I never end up like this guy... Just sitting there the whole time, blank faced, never doing anything interesting... only purpose being served is the mascot for some internet show. What a sad life Hank leads...
Well, Fraser, good job being a jerk and judging every game by exactly the same set of criteria. Oh well, at least you were willing to try it out: that's more than most people can say. Personally, though I own it, I'm not a huge fan of Dinner Date. I played it once and probably never will again. I do, however, respect what the creator was trying to do (even if I don't think he fully succeeded) and am glad it was attempted. Games like this should be encouraged, now shallowly denounced as "shit."
