It has a good premise of solving a mystery through investigating a house, but the payoff is largely unrewarding.

Also, way too many game reviewers gave it high scores solely because the shallow reveal tickled their social justice bones.

The game is shallow and fails to use the medium to help create a stronger narrative. When a game would be better without forcing interactivity, it's a bad game. When the BEST part of a game is the dialogue or the writing, it's a bad game.

The Louvre is a piece of art, but not because it houses art. Gone home is just a means of presenting a rather boring story, rather than anything that can transcend traditional literature.

For story driven games that use gameplay to enhance the experience, see the stanley parable, mother 3, undertale etc.

It's literally not game. There is no win condition. It's an interactive story. The story is poorly written and there are details that don't quite fit. Would've been neat for a little project showing off a nice engine with potential for something greater, but they charged 20 dollars for it. It doesn't deserve the praise it got. It was only praised because of agenda pushing by media outlets to get more page views due to controversy.

Boring, 1 dimensional plot, wasted potential, the payoff is a black screen and the knowledge that your sister ran off with another girl (effectively ruining her childhood dream) Played it with my GF and we both looked at each other at the end, tears in eyes, as we realized we had wasted two hours of our entire lives playing this walking simulator rather than fucking.

The main story is exploitative and childish.
The general gameplay conceit is a little absurd, as you play a character who should know some information about her family and this house since it was part of the family, but you as the player spend a lot of time discovering that information, which is dissonant.
They cheaply put things out such as the moving boxes and the receipt for the move in the main foyer, even though it's been a fucking year, just to explain information to the player, but this removes from the reality of the situation, because there's no way this family wouldn't have tucked that shit away instead of leaving it out for all their guests to see for the convenience of the player.
It's poorly put together in Unity, and runs like garbage in certain situations.
It relies too heavily on nostalgia for cheap pops.
The thing that people like about this game are the static images, which have no bearing on the interactivity of it, and the actual act of moving and clicking things is a damn chore, so it barely qualifies as interactive entertainment.
The OP is baiting and has no intention of having an actual discussion about this product.
>>
>>321204827
I haven't played it, but I've heard complaints that the reveal of the sister being homosexual and the deviantart tier writing and self-discovery are hamfisted and feels progressive for the sake of being progressive.

Whatever the subject matter, the point is that the writing is apparently bad. Moreover, the whole thing amounts to little more than wandering an environment and looking for things to do, soaking up atmosphere and such in a setting devoid of other characters. I have no objection to this kind of narrative delivery, things like The Stanley Parable and The Beginner's Guide are exactly that, and succeed for having much more engrossing settings, interesting environments and compelling writing. I'm less familiar with The Beginner's Guide although I know that The Stanley Parable deals heavily in metahumor, but one of the most important parts to it is that there are real interactive elements in the form of decision making, be compliant or defiant. Gone Home has nothing like this.

OP, there are a lot of retards ITT who are failing to provide valid criticism of the game, but don't mistake that for proof that it's a good game.

Like, you know how Bill O'Reilly will read fan mail, and only reads the most shallow vapid hateful criticisms? Going onto /v/ and asking for serious criticism of a game that deals heavily with lgbt issues is much the same. You're not here to have an actual argument, you're here to prove to yourself how dumb people you disagree with are, and you'll be proven right in a way.

Another lazy walking simulator made by people who don't care about making an engaging or fun experience but still want the same money actual games make anyway.

Either that or they're frustrated egotists who think their writing ability is worthy of being multibillion dollar box office movies, but they couldn't make their big break so they're using video games to shill their magnum opus and build up their Hollywood resume, also known as the David Cage tactic.

Just imagine if Gone Home was a ''game'' about you going home to discover that your WHITE MALE brother fell in love with a straight white woman from the KKK, so he ran away from home because his family doesn't approve of the KKK.
Would anyone like the ''game''? Would those people who dislike the ''game'' criticize it without using words like ''nazi'' and ''white supreeeemist''?
It's fucking retarded how people claim to like something just because it's politically correct and supports the establishment.

A few years back, Gone Home won a best Indie award, as well as best PC game award on the heavily criticised Spike VGX awards show.
When this was announced live on the show, nobody applauded.

Shit awards show was shit and Spike's annual video game awards show was canned after that, although Geoff Keighley kept the show running from his own pocket.

This year, a relatively unknown indie game called Her Story got nominated for a few awards on The Game Awards, and it won Best Narrative as well as actor's Best Performance.
Nobody really knew about this game but it got awards anyway, I still find this pretty suspect.

I thought it was all right. It was an interesting way to tell a story, and the story was about things you don't usually see in a video game. Also the game subverts the player's expectations by pretending to be a horror game with supernatural elements for a while. I bought and played it late one Friday night wen I was home alone and greatly enjoyed it.

If I had to criticise it, obviously I'd say it's not much of a video game. All you do is look at stuff and read notes, there is no real objectives and there are no gameplay mechanics. As a reasult there's not much replay value. Also the normal price is way too expensive for what it is, even 6 euros is too much really.

It is a very boring game which i would almost not call a game, there is absolutely nothing to do in it except walking forward and seeing text, wich gets boring very fast
The story is also simplistic and not very engaging, the only "engaging" thing is when the whole twist of a character being homosexual, but that feels forced, and almost like they put it in because it seemed like a good idea
Now, I am bisexual myself so i have no hatred for there being homosexuality in games, i love homosexual characters that are well written, like Arcade Gannon or Veronica from Fallout, it's just that Gone Home doesn't have the good writing to back itself up, and ends up falling flat on it's face and almost seems to try to save itself from everything by putting in a homosexual character

Video games are an interactive medium, and Gone Home fails to make the most of it's medium because nothing that the player does in it matters. You're not taking part in a story as it unfolds, you're reading a series of notes about a story that already happened. There are games like Bioshock that leave scattered notes around like this, but the player still has a part in the story. The notes are used to provide context to the story, they shouldn't be the entire story in themselves. This is why people accuse Gone Home of not being a video game, the player's interaction doesn't matter so why is it even part of the experience?
Gone Home is the video game equivalent of a movie that's just two hours of people giving expository dialogue of things we never see, with boring shot/reverse-shot cinematography from beginning to end. The things they're talking about could be interesting, but the end product is completely bland because no effort was put into how it's presented.

>Oh and it's only 6 euros right now
>person from /lgbt/ who likes Gone Home is european
Sweden yes? Anyway I wouldn't pay anything for Gone Home because the experience it provides could just as easily be delivered in a free flash game on Newgrounds.

It's not a game.


It's a SJW trainweck for faggots, dykes, queers, and whatever gender identifications those deranged 'transsexual' degenerate abominations come up with.

It is one of the worst excuses for a videogame, because it isn't even a videogame.

I saw this thread earlier, and I was happy.

Happy that everyone was ignoring it and having a semi productive time discussing rather new topics and news.
But no, some retard had to throw his opinion in this obvious bait thread. This is literally every undertale thread. Repeated questions on a subject that through discussion always leads to the same exact conclusions.

It's pathetic. But You guys could've at least type in the first comment to tell everyone to sage and ignore the obvious bait thread. But no that would seem too reasonable. God you guys need hand holding.

You literally walk around a house and look at shit until you find a key to the attic. Everyone that says it's good is just trying to fit in with the liberal college age demographic and get their good boy points for being so progressive.

I think Gone hom(e)o is pretty horrible, but your argument against it is based upon that you cannot loose and therefore it is not a game.

Is Journey and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter also bad games according to you, as they meet the same criteria? Honestly curious!

Ok. The "game" has no set win or lose condition, gives the player no motivation for exploring despite that being the only way to "win", tells you nothing meaningful or profound despite being praised as a crazy twist end game, looks flat, and is just plain unfun.

By the by, I know you are from Tumblr so you don't know this, but /lgbt/ doesn't like that game either, I should know, I'm from there. I couldn't add this to my retort since you said no usage of any of the words that pertain to homosexuality, but having the big 'Shock ending' turn out to just be "Oh yeah I'm a lesbian" was super weak. Especially since lesbians don't even get shit on by the media and just coast on that lesbian schtick while guys are actually beaten for their sexuality. While there are some places where women are at risk over their sexuality, the 1st world is not one of them, and this game and its designer are both rotten cunts.

Can you win or otherwise reach the game's goal?
Is there a challenge keeping you from winning?
Can you lose by succumbing to the challenge?

If the answer to any of these is "No" then it's not a game, it's a visual novel.

>The game is shallow and fails to use the medium to help create a stronger narrative. When a game would be better without forcing interactivity, it's a bad game.
Underrated opinion.
I believe that Undertale and the Ace Attorney games are paragons of storytelling in gaming. The story must be interesting, but the story must also capitalize on the interactive element inherent in video games to be good qua a video game if the intent is to tell a story.
>When the BEST part of a game is the dialogue or the writing, it's a bad game.
If the writing capitalizes on the interactive element of video games then I believe that a good game can indeed focus on writing. Of course, Gone Home fails to do this. The game also must be fun, and Gone Home fails in this regard, too.

It's a boring non-game that ends in lesbians.

Has a good atmosphere though, and I liked how they made it seem like it was a horror game. The only problem is that there was nothing else too it. It was a shitty walking simulator that had a nice atmosphere but nothing else. The story was shit, the VA was shit, the writing was shit, the characters were shit, the graphics were OK, but people have done much better.

Max payne wasn't really that fun to play, the writing definitely carried it, bullet time was a gimmick.

Fallout new vegas has other core gameplay elements that have entertainment potential, along with role playing, same can be said for system shock 2.

It's a visual novel except you control your character in first person. That's not a strike against it, unless you're saying that all visual novels are shit too.

The game works entirely on expectation. If I had finished it back when I first played it when it was new and I had no knowledge going in other than this image: >>321205376
I would have probably liked it. I genuinely thought it was some sort of haunted house thing, and there would be a ghost or some shit. The game works by subverting that assumption (of it and games generally) by ultimately just being a simple domestic drama of a person's emotional return home. I've thought a few times about finishing it, but now that I know how it plays out, there's no way I would care about anything. I get the appeal of the game at launch, but I don't get its lasting appeal.

I don't even play aforementioned big titty games, just the hypocrisy is palpable even to me.

The amount of hollow praise a thing gets just because it panders to a demographic is astounding. Then another such thing gets shouted to the ground for the same reason.

And don't even try to come to me with the "good vs bad stereotype bullshit" that is just an excuse for certain people to go on crusades against people they don't like. Because they are "fighting the good fight against those bad stereotypes". Same as they went after you in the past.

>>321222729
And what is your idea of Moral equilibrium? That you get to exact revenge? What's wrong is wrong.

Just because you were a victim a.k.a homosexual doesn't give you the right to go on crusade against heterosexuals and use your buddies in media to rub out what panders to them and then undeservedly praise what panders to you.

Big titty games were never something acceptable. You were always a creep for playing them but no one actively tried to rub them out and stop you from playing them for whatever season would it be to stop bad stereotypes or whatever.

Then on the other side you are a Hero for playing Gone Homo. Just another example of something getting a pass just because it's PC nevermind how mediocre or shallow it is in it's medium.

Life is strange, a better game than Gone Home didn't get as much praise.
