Who's ready for the industry changing game 'Cancer Simulator 2016'?
What a gay fucking game. I'm gonna go back to Rocket League.
>>323974489
Please God if you exist let TB do a WTF is That Dragon, Cancer
I spent 5 years of my childhood dealing with cancer and still deal with the side effects. Why would I play this?
Dying to play this.
I hope this isn't another Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Namely, an extremely pretentious, award-baiting yet incredibly mediocre work that is immune to criticism because it covers sensitive subject matter.
>>323975069
The creator is a really humble guy who's making this from personal experience. It's a love letter to his son about what they went through as a family.
The dev isn't up his own ass and trying to be pretentious so there's that at least. Sure, the game may end up feeling that way because of the subject matter and shit but it won't be deliberate.
>>323974784
This is for people who haven't had a cancer experience to play so that they can say they know how cancer feels
>Yeah I share your pain brah. I haven't had someone die from cancer but I -did- play a vidya gaem about it so we're basically the same.
>>323974489
why is the game named so awkwardly
>>323975069
Apparently it's based off his experiences with his own dying son. It's quite well done from what I can tell, but I wouldn't recommend buying it unless you want a semi interactive movie pretty much designed for this guys relatives.
>>323974489
>You must be brave to play this game!
How about we're not fucking interested in playing a cancer simulator?
>Video games can be ART! Video games can be ART!
Well, this is what you get when your medium is flooded with wannabe ''artists'' instead of people who just want to make a good game.
I forgot I backed this after a very pleasant interaction with the guy behind it. Downloading it now.
>>323974489
A prime example of why I think games should be considered more as engineering projects than art pieces.
>>323974489
It's such a good game not to play 10/10
>vice
It's a 1-2 hour non-game with christfag bullshit in it....into the tiny coffin it goes.
>>323974489
Is it finally out it's been in development for quite a while
>>323974489
I don't want to play a game about some douche being sad about his cancer baby, unless I get to play as the cancer and fight my way through 16 brutal stages of wicked organ-slaying action.
is there anything about the game design that's going to reflect its themes or is it like how some movies are just made to win academy awards because they know about the nuances and tastes of a particular circle of people?
this shit is oscar bait
Literally cancer.
>>323976546
It's Polygon/RPS/Kotaku/insert shitty libfag site that reviews games-bait, and everybody who complains about it is a shitlord asshole who probably supports Gamergate.
>>323976354
>vicious resource management sim where you manage the cellular logistics in a war of attrition against cancer
>can eventually fight to the point where you're declared "cancer free"
>random remissions and metastases ensure you never win
isn't this about a 4 year old with cancer? That's pretty sad, but isn't it sadder get cancer at say 16 or mid 20's? A 4 year old hasn't even experienced anything to really remember. Meanwhile the mid 20's guy can comprehend love, family, and life in ways the 4 year old can't even begin to comprehend.
>>323977116
It's from the perspective of someone watching a four-year-old die, I think.
Why do people still insist that video games can ever be art? They're toys, nothing more.
>change the medium
When did video games turn into some art majors showpiece instead of being a video game
>That Dragon, Cancer
What does this phrase even mean?
Is the Dragon a cancer?
Is he telling Cancer that's the dragon?

you underestimate the stupidity of SJWs, my friend.
It's clearly another non-game walking simulator, BUT I believe the subject matter is tasteful enough that it's a worthwhile project. It's not pseudofeminist identity politics propaganda, but a heartfelt parent-child tale that's using the medium of games as a method to increase emotional engagement. At least that's what it looks like to me.

Yes, that guy is the dev. Also, he supports GG and is a hardcore conservative Christfag, so there's nothing to attack other than the distastefulness of selling a game about your son's death and not giving any of the proceeds to charity or cancer research. SJW's don't know what to do with themselves because it's not a typical feminist/LGBT indie walking sim, has a heavy handed religious message, yet they are tripping over themselves trying to defend it from literally nothing in order to not look like hypocrites. It's hysterical.
>>323975305
>15 eurobucks
Yeah, really fucking humble. Nothing like making money off your dead kid.
>>323980192
Yes, it's actually him
Honestly, this game isn't pretentious. It's just a guy who made something interactive based on something he actually experienced.
I think this one project actually has a right to exist even if it's not up our alley.
The only thing that's cancerous is how the gaming press will frame this

Oh yeah. People who spend their 20s on a video game board definitely are going to do amazing stuff in their 80s.

They are miserable. The healthy ones just get to watch all their friends die or forget them and they are in pain all the fucking time.
I don't even want to get older than 30 right now.
>>323974489

This is about terminal cancer, so it's not a situation you can relate to. :^)
No memes, I couldn't imagine having to go through that as a parent. What the fuck do you tell a kid that young?
Though it sours the whole thing a bit to charge $15 for it I think and opens itself up to a lot of (justified) shitflinging about the length and quality.
>Razer Inc., who acquired the Ouya platform and property in 2015, stated that they will donate all revenue from sales of That Dragon, Cancer on Ouya will be donated to the Morgan Adams Foundation and Family House SF, two charities that had assisted the Greens' during Joel's treatment in San Francisco.[17]

I know the creator of the game suffered a terrible loss but I think he expressed himself in a way that some might not really want to experience.
Regardless or not of how poignant and touching this game is, people don't want to play a game about losing their kid to cancer.
Also, the graphics look VERY similar to Catlateral Damage's graphics. I'm guessing they're in the same engine?

Even if smoking didn't actually lower your longevity, there is absolutely no sane reason to do it. If you think all the bullshit you're inhaling only hits when you've reached 69, you're a fool. It seriously reduces the quality of your life no matter what early age you inevitably painfully die. For example, everyone who smokes will inevitably suffer from nicotine withdrawal for most of the day, which leads to considerable feelings of discomfort and anxiety. That safe, secure, cozy feeling you get when you finally light your cigarette after four torturous hours without one? That's how non-smokers feel literally all the time.
IMAGINE THE DRAMA

I'm not offended over this game because that's retarded but like hell am I ever gonna play it. The entire thing reeks of trying to cash in on people's feelings and hiding behind "muh art" when people call out how shit of an idea it is.
It's literally the exact opposite of Hatred - just as crass and everything wrong with games, but on the other end of the spectrum.
Sounds like this game is pure cancer
>>323980942
>>323981414
Cancer treatment is absurdly expensive and can put people in debt easily.
The only reason he's making keeping the revenues from this is so he can earn some money back on the ridiculous amount he invested in it. He might not even profit from it.
I don't like the style this game is in but I'm kind of glad it exists. Nobody asked for it to exist and there was no demand for it. There is no pandering to any group in it. He just made it because of how he felt.
I think more games should be like that.

But if you don't turn on all the difficulty options on, you're a bitch who can't play Dark Souls. You need to turn on smoking, drinking, and drugs all on. Also need to raise the "Number of Blacks" slider to max. That's how you play the real man's way.

>That's how non-smokers feel literally all the time.
Except it's not for a lot of people, which is one of the main reasons people get into smoking or drinking on the level that it's a genuine addiction. People who already suffer from anxiety, depression, stress issues, they look for vices that make them feel better - then these vices turn into problems as you explained. Yes it's stupid, but so are drugs and they're incredibly popular with the retarded populace.

This >>323982601 is right.
It's incredibly personal. I don't even see how it could appeal to anyone else.
People who have had personal experiences with cancer won't want to play it because they know how bad cancer is. People who haven't won't want to because they've heard how bad cancer is.

Wrong. He Kickstarted the game and got almost 3 times the amount he asked for and needed to make the game. His expenses were all covered, all the money he gets from selling this is pure profit right into his pocket. He's not in debt. He also had a fucking documentary made about the making of the game and death of his son. It's all greed, pure and simple. He's not even sad about his son's death, he's happy because "Joel is now with Jesus in heaven and that's worth celebrating".

I guarantee you he's devastated. He's just saying that to make himself feel better and also he believes it. That doesn't change the fact that his son is fucking dead and gone and it's probably going to be remembered as one of the worst times of his life.

Greenlight could have been a great thing if they hadn't opened the flood gates. Now, greed has taken over and people are shitting out low quality,and in every sense of the word, shovelware, in hopes that something will stick. It's just like the Google Play store, everyone just puts minimal effort into developing a shit app that will catch a few dollars.
What happened to indie developers that wanted to make a fun game first and make money off of it last? I had a blast playing the mods that came out of the late 90s and early 00s.

At the very least some fun and entertainment could've been had from Hatred.

Well now it's been done without anime trash so it might actually be good

>mfw brought this up with my group friends after watching a streamer practically sell the game to his viewers
>explained to them how it wasn't a game and how sick I am of hearing these non-games be classified as games simply because they carry a story
>they bark back at me that my opinion is wrong and it IS because video games are becoming a medium for sharing experiences
>one of them goes on this whole thing about how we have to accept where the industry is headed because it is becoming more of an "art form"

>"well it's not that they WANT to, but that they CAN"
I'm speechless

I wouldn't wish hypochondria on my worst enemy. I'm just glad that not many horror games play off the fear of sickness or disease.

You're right. It's strange I would phrase a post in that exaggerated way, since I'm literally disabled from an anxiety disorder at the moment.

Stress and anxiety are well documented effects of nicotine withdrawal. Either you never smoked, or your life is going shit for you either way.

Would you play it, /v/?
>>323983724
forgot the accompanying face
I heard about this on Radiolab. Probably not going to play it but the story behind it was interesting.
>>323982398

>>323975305
If you're saying it "reeks" of being something without playing it, you're literally worse than anyone who campaigned against Hatred before it was released. Or you were baited very hard by trolls.

No cheaper way to tug at peoples' heartstrings than to write a story about a kid with cancer. I think it's weak. If I want a case of the sads from sick kids I'll look up some St Jude's commercials on YouTube

>Depression Simulator
>Cancer Simulator
I think indie devs are starting to miss the point of video games, and entertainment in general.

>>323984149
They probably get caught up with how they feel when they're making the game.
>>323984149
People regularly watch movies/television that is intentionally sad.
Same goes for books and music.
This is no different.
>>323976130
>>323977983
Glad you beat it, anon.
>>323983724
Your friends argument makes sense anon.
People read/consume media about different experiences all the time. Why wouldn't you want to experience being a cancer-ridden child, if not just out of curiosity? It's more interesting than playing the grizzled war hero for the seventieth time.
>>323984486
>why wouldn't you want to experience being a cancer-ridden child
>>323983724
>He hasn't experienced being a dying child
Shit hurts man.
>>323984149
Depression Simulator was developed by a hack who actually goes out of her way to cause depression on other people.
Cancer simulator was developed by someone who actually experienced what he developed.
>>323983538
so, any good scenes with the big titted chick in the yellow towel?
>when people inevitably play it on YT and cry for views
>>323984486
I'd rather play an actual game where I'm a fucking grizzled wizard or some shit, kicking ass and feeling good than be a fucking four year old cancer-stricken child and feel bad afterward
>>323984602
>If people thought like you, they would literally only want to read their own autobiography.
>Why experience anything different or unique? I just want to play some more call of duty!
>>323974489
Why do I get the feeling this "game" is less than two hours long and will still get high scores from reviewers?
>>323977729
I once read a Vice article where the author spoke to a military strategist and was outright butthurt that the US couldn't be invaded by other countries. The reason he wanted the US to be destroyed? Republicans not supporting healthcare legislation. He outright said he thought it was a shame it wouldn't happen.
>>323984973
>"Hey, Billy, want to play some video games?"
>"Sure! Let's play 'YOU ARE FOUR AND HAVE CANCER', I hear it's a great game!"
quite the compelling choice
>>323984929
So what's stopping you?
>>323984929
People read books/go to movies/watch television that leave you feeling bad all the time. Tragedy's are pretty popular in media.
Why should video games be any different?
>>323984973
>If you don't want to experience being a cancer-ridden child you must like call of duty
>>323985061
If you go by the fastest time it can be completed, Gone Home can be less than a minute long.
is there a online leaderboard and hard mode ?
>>323985061
It's probably like less than 10 minutes long
>>323985095
Man, I can play the reduction game too.
> "Hey Billy want to play some video games?"
> "Sure! Let's play 'GET SHOT AND KILLED OVER AND OVER'. I hear that's a great game!"
Why do people play FPS if you just get killed man that shit sounds so depressing.
>>323985231
Answer the question anon.
There's nothing stopping you from loading up Solstice, Gunstar Heroes, or Vanquish because this game exist.
>>323985348
>>323985348
because not only can you be shot and killed
but you can shoot and kill virtual men also
which is entertaining as opposed to literally only watching a kid die of cancer
>>323985348
How come the only two options are cancer simulator or FPS? You know that there are more games than that, right?
>>323985348
Never go full retard
what game has the saddest story?
>>323985586
Life
>>323985491
Don't you know? The cool new SJW tactic to use when you're losing is to go straight to FPS' because Patriarchy!
>>323984973
>if it isn't cancer it can't be creative and unique
How about Rez or Child of Eden or Limbo or Braid? They're all quite creative and artistic.
>>323978636
>waaaahhh, somebody called me shit ;_;
>>323985348
>implying I play FPS's
I'd rather make a comfy village or city than play as a kid with cancer. That is literally the '''''''''''''''''''''''game'''''''''''''''''''''''''''. Playing as a kid with cancer. Playing an FPS I can blow shit up, shoot people and have cathartic enjoyment. I can't as a kid with cancer.
There is a reason there are more games where you kill shit than slowly die.
>>323985348
Maybe you should git gud scrub
>>323983724
People have literally always shared their experiences through artistic mediums, especially anything too uncomfortable for regular conversation.
It's a way to explain your feelings without looking another person you don't know very well in the eye and say "So my four year old died of cancer".
It's just never been as easy as it is now to make a "video game" since the tools are powerful enough non-technical artists can make the whole thing.
I'd rather we settle on another classification for things like this because I agree they're not games, but I'm not autistic enough to really care and argue about it. Someday when there's a lot more of them maybe people will decide on something.
How would you make a ACTUAL game, not a interactive shit, about cancer, /v/?
>RTS
>you have to fight against aliens that spread super quickly
>hard as fuck to win
>>323981724
>implying insurance would pay for it
They would fight tooth and nail to not pay for it. Hell they'll claim it was a PREEXISTING condition
>>323985893
>there are people taking video games THIS SERIOUSLY
>>323977367
20 years ago every liberals arts reject wrote a book to try to shill their art and bad ideas
Now that writing books is outdated, they write a 1-2 hour "game"
>>323982726
>developing this nonsense.
He developed it AFTER experiencing it all you retard. Are you fucking stupid?
>>323985965
Not good enough. Allegorical shit flies over peoples heads. Shit has to be stamped into their face for them to notice.
Video games, remember are hard. Need I link the articles about playtesters complaining HL2 was "too confusing" and Dishonoured was made super easy cause the guard said "you can't go upstairs" so the players couldn't progress.
>>323982726
All purchases of the game go to Cancer Research, fucktard
>Thinking about making a game for my son because he died of cancer
>You know, I'm really proud of you. Being able to play as him having fun, running in vibrant environments without a care in the world. Through this you will have immortalized him as the happy young boy he was. You're truly a great father. So what are you thinking, platformer?
>Oh no. The entire thing is about him dying in a dreary dimly lit room. There's 'try not to cry' mechanics and near the end you have to mash the button to stay alive, but it gets increasingly harder until you die.
>..............................Oh.
>>323986168
He'd make more if he actually made a good game, not a dying simulator.
