It was a fairly enjoyable way to waste an evening.
I think she's a good actress.

>it beat witcher 3 on the best story of the year.
>>321154982
You don't even kill things so of course it's shit.
It's an ok story with a fairly unique way to get through the game
Was complete bullshit that it won all that stuff at the Keighlys
>>321154982
bretty gud, decided to get it and try it cause i love me some 90s fmv games, I enjoyed it for how short it was
I kinda liked her in the Witcher 3
>>321155024
Same here, I had no idea this existed.
>>321154982
Women are fucking crazy
>>321154982
boring as fuck
>>321154982
The poster and name of this "game" are kinda repulsive. Is it really any good? Should I pirate it?
Is there a single person browsing this board right now who has actually bought and played Her Story?
>>321157013
Just pirate it, I don't think it's really worth paying for but you can probably get some enjoyment out of it.
>>321157150
Most of these people have complete and utter shit taste, so yes.
Not particularly related but is the relatively recent Sherlock Holmes game worth playing? I'm in the mood for some detective type stuff.
No one cares. Go away op.
>>321157150
after vga, probably.. out of curiosity
before? I wonder
The fucking red and blue in the title is annoying as fuck, looks like they made a Sundance movie and called it a game. Why is this allowed?
Was good. Felt it was interesting enough to keep me intrigued while playing it, and it didn't overstay its' time.
It's not a game because there is no win state.
>>321154982
>This is a game
>Visual novels aren't
Explain yourselves.
Sam Barlow is a fucking hack.
>>321154982
>chromatic abberation in the title
>>321158360
She's on camera. This is one of the few times where chromatic abberation makes sense.
>>321158534
if you're in the 80s
>>321158215
Not going to argue there, but I will mention that the thing I liked the least in this "game" is how the credits just happen hen you've seen a certain amount of relevant information. I feel like the credits should have just been an option or a link on the desktop considering there's no real ending until the player solves the mystery for themselves. I actually sort of like that there's no in-game measurement of whether or not you've solved the case, but the credits were poorly implemented.
>>321158264
This game requires some thinking

I need to think about what to eat for dinner, but that doesn't make it a video game.
>>321158649
It looks like it was filmed in the early 90's
Isn't this the game that you can totally cheese by searching "blank" , where all the files will be in order?
>>321158889
You could make a video game about it, though.
>>321159042
I could, but that's not really relevant.
>>321158979
even my shit video camera I had in 1992 or so didn't do this shit
>>321159042
But why would anyone want to play it?

BANJO THREEIE CONFIRMEDI've never played any of the original games
>>321157150
Bought it soon after release. It's pretty good, but not challenging.
I'd like a harder game in the same style.

I don't know, people like weird shit, especially if you present it in a unique way.
>>321159346
You're absolutely right and that's depressing for the vidya industry.
>>321159042
Is there a Rule for shitty indie game premises? Like how Rule 34 dictates there is always porn of something, somewhere? I'm pretty certain now that you've suggested making a game out of what to have for dinner, some indie cunt has started making it and is working on getting their friends who work for a games media site to promote it.

MOOOOOOOOOOOT
Contradiction is similar but much better.
Also it was made by legendary video game composer Tim Follin.
>>321159347
I dunno, I felt like I learned you shouldn't try to replicate the results of the shitty ones
>>321159492
I bet there could be a game about nothing.

Watched TBF's let's play on it. Seemed alright, although I don't think I missed out on too much by not actually playing it.
Keyword systems have always seemed cool as fuck to me and I'd love to see more detective/mystery games that use a similar system for investigations.
>>321159537
And the actor is amazingly cheesy.
I thought interactive movies died way back in the 90s.
>>321159767
Cheesy in a good way.
>>321154982
It presented a mediocre story in a novel but frustrating way.
Mediocre because the "twist" is fairly easy to discover because of how easily one can stumble on the future videos where the girl talks about herself as if she were a different person which would lead one to search "split personality" or "twin," the latter of which is why this is so. They didn't even bother using a different actress for the twin, however, as well as the DAUGHTER of one of these twins. Three different characters played by one girl.
Frustrating because the game emphasizes on taking notes of facts and keywords but does not provide an in-game feature to help with that, like, I don't know, a simple goddamned notepad.
If any "game" could really said to have received attention simply because it was about a girl, it's this one.
>>321159814
David Cage says differently.
>>321159817
Yes.
>>321159346
>>321159448
>>People like weird shit
No, they like buying stupid shit because it makes them feel clever to ironically spend money on a retarded simulator with limited gameplay. Goat Simulator was fun joke of a game, but got old quick. Eurotruck Simulator and Farming Simulator were about trucks and fucking farming, and if you find that interesting you're either gearing up for a job as a trucker or farmer, or you spend money like a fool. Shit like Her Story and Depression Quest is for people who like to believe they can have control over what happens in movies.
Also, Dinner Simulator already happened: it was that flash game with the arguing married couple who would shove you out of the house if you asked them the wrong question or gave a shitty answer. That was more of a game than fucking Her Story, and it was literally just about trying to say the right things and not get kicked out of their apartment.
Proof that Hillary Clinton will win this election. Women are ignorant cunts who will always vote for one of their own no matter how poorly qualified they are. "Her Story" is utter tripe but I bet that it was nominated by every single female voter.
>>321159537
>Also it was made by legendary video game composer Tim "Literally Who" Follin.
>>321155438
yes but the witcher 3's main story was poo poo
>>321159723
That was honestly a pretty decent comedy routine, if anything.
>>321160424
And a story about a bipolar bitch is better?
>>321160624
I didn't say that my friend. w3 is way better of a game. This "game" had some potential though and I'd like to see it implemented by someone who can make a better story and with more difficulty
>Game
>>321160347
>haha i'm so ignorant, look at me
>>321154982
Most people shit on it for being a "game", but it's actually pretty fun. There's nothing sjw or feminist about it, it's just a disconnected story that's acted out well by this actress.
The fun lies in trying to figure out what's important from each of her moments, which word will give you the most information. Which means that it's possible to beat the game quickly or after a long time. That's honestly refreshing to find.
I really enjoyed it, was worth the $5 I spent when it was on sale a while back. Spent a late night just piecing it together.
>>321157150
I bought it andenjoyed it
>>321154982
It sounds interesting, but nothing I want to rush out and play. I'll get to it eventually. Sam Barlow did a great job with Shattered Memories sp hopefully this will be written at least decent.
>>321155094
>game needs gameplay to be good!
>except when it's one of /v/'s darling games where the story matters more
lel
i think the open-endedness kind of hurt it. it's pretty fun to try and piece the story together, but once you feel like you have a pretty good idea of what happened there's not really any motivation to keep exploring the footage
>>321161518
It has a main character who isn't a white male who is a proud brave racist. Also it focuses on story and not pew pew shoot da aliens.
Thus it's SJW trash and /v/ hates it
>>321160251
I'll take it over Trump any day, /pol/-friend
This game finally opened my eyes to how young and casual /v/ has become. The amount of people on this site who didn't know what a FMV game was blew my mind.
The fact that a fucking FMV game won an award should tell you how shitty the video game press truly is these days.
>>321163030
Roastie...just....fuck off......
I thought it was an interesting interactive movie. It's worth about the 4 dollar it's selling for on steam. It's not really a game though, just warning you.
>>321163381
I don't understand your meme. Sounds like a meme from another board which you aren't currently on.
>>321163251
There are people on /v/ who call Myst a walking sim and a "game"
In this revolutionary and taboo-breaking game, you play as a police officer (male unfortunately) and have to prove how this innocent young woman of color was raped, while nobody on the police force believes her.
It brought tears to my eyes, because it reflected my own story as well. In the end Her story became My story - Everyone's story
>>321163741
>there are people this upset by women
wew
I don't have a problem with someone making a FMV game nowadays, the problem is the blatant fucking shilling in the VGAs. Like really, lady blandly moping in a fake interview somehow beat Mark Hamill's Joker? Fucking really?
So did everyone think it was two girls or DID?
>>321163886
/v/ always claims that any game that is popular elsewhere but no one /v/ must be "shilled"
It's retarded and always will be.
It didn't have enough going for it really, the core gameplay was just too barebones, even by FMV game standards. You could've got much the same experience just going to the install directory and putting the videos on shuffle until the credits one comes up.
>>321164278
>popular elsewhere
Look, usually the "shill" accusations are bullshit, but come on. The VGAs have always been horseshit, and you're not even vaguely suspicious this mediocre literally who game no one anywhere had heard of swoops in and beats games like BamHam and Witcher?
>>321165128
Shill accusations are always retarded and anyone who spouts them deserves a fucking hell ban back to reddit

Why do you always assume the worst of people? It is not a very likeable quality
>>321167515
It's not people, it's a for profit award show with no transparency in its selection process. At this point I'm half convinced you're just arguing for the sake of arguing.

The problem is not the normie awards show, but the jury.
Almost all of the members if not all(havent checked this year) are vidya journalists from the bay area. Those fags are a circlejerking cesspool of cronies. When her story got released multiple outlets loved it already because how different it was and how it brought back the ' amazing' feel of fmv games. I did not think it would win jack shit, because those shtty sites haven't talked about her story since forever, guess I was wrong

I liked the part where it has exactly the same twist as Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, which was coincidentally written by the same hack.

As a standalone game it's lacking but if it were a part of a larger game like Phoenix Wright it could be legitimately fun

>>321157150
Did not purchase it, thanks SKIDROW, but I played it release weekend. The best parts of the "game" are the mocked-up windows 3.1 interface, the acting performance of the main character and a few videos with lewd mentions of maniac-depression fueled hook ups with both sexes. The novel presentation does not save the story from some fairly obvious mystery-horror cliches.
