ultimate reaver 07/02/19 9:19:56 PM #19:	When Gone Home came out I was really cynical about it because i was going through this phase where i was all about GAMES FOR HARDCORE GAMEPLAY. Gone Home was presented to me as a game with no gameplay, that if you knew what you were doing you could complete in literal seconds. As such I never played it and shitposted a bunch about it like everyone else I knew. In retrospect, it was crushingly stupid and the first hints of how low video game discourse would sink over the following years. It was a 20 dollar indie game built around atmosphere and exploration. I don't know why I was expecting a deep combat system, bunnyhopping around corners, -whatever- I wanted out of Gone Home when it came out, but it's more of an experience. Indie games had been moving that way for a long time at the time where it came out. Even platformers were consistently stripped down, emotional experience. Gone Home was the natural progression of that, and while indie games have moved to different things nowadays, cool games followed and built off the ideas of Gone Home afterwords. None of the shitposting I or anyone else did really addressed the point of the game. In fact, I'd wager it utterly missed it. I did eventually play it, and while it's certainly not my favorite, I enjoyed the atmosphere and pretty easily saw what others saw in it even if it wasn't entirely for me. Anyway, carry on trolling, just got nostalgic about how much better discussing video games used to be before this kind of shit. --- butts <cite>ultimate reaver posted [p:924167179] in lol rememb...
