no thats real life
Eh, I really didn't find it too pretentious.
It was desperate to be different though.
Will soon be forgotten
>>332060751
only if you didn't think the design concept was valuable
>>332060751
It’s the most innovative shooter I’ve played in years.
>>332060751
I don't think so. I didn't understand the story either, something about a group using the game to control people?
Either way who gives a shit, the game could've done without the story, but needs way more levels.
pretentious? no.
innovative? yes.
worth the price? hell no
Drop it down to 10$, the game is only 2 hours long
IT'S
ABOUT
TIME
XDD

i swear this game came out years ago didn't it
>>332061061
It was a browser Unity game
SUPER
IT'S THE MOST
PRETENTIOUS GAAAAME
OF THE YEEEAAAR
WITH ITS CRAZY TIME STOPPING
AND RED MEN A DROPPING
>>332061020
>Innovative
How? Gimmicks aren't innovative.
Also if you're telling me that the story, the menu, the secrets, and the condescending attitude it gives you for completing challenges isn't super pretentious, then you're retarded.

It's cool as a flash-game but it shouldn't be $20 on Steam.

This
Time slowing/stopping isn't a new thing
Haven't niggas played TIME SHIFT?
>Snatch a gun right out of a guy's hands
>Shoot him in the ass with it until clip is empty, unfreeze time
This has been so unsatisfying so far. Why is the developer such a dick? Every time I complete the challenge it just insults me.
Steam sale when
>>332061358
That's the way you are interpreting it, but yes Gimmicks are Innovation, as long as they are done right.
Innovation =/= good game
It just means its a step in different direction.
As for the 'pretentiousness' i wouldn't take so seriously, its just stupid letting it get to you
>>332061702
>Complete an optional challenge.
>Instead of giving the player positive stimuli and rewards, it just insults you.
This is objectively bad game design.
>>332061702
The pretentiousness gets in the way of the entire game, though. Getting all the secrets and doing all the optional challenges are not fucking worth it when the game just spouts pretentious drivel at you for doing it.
It has addictive gameplay, but like a song being catchy, that doesn't make it a good game.

Games are much more complex in terms of emotional manipulation than just "hard thing = fun."
The point of a game being difficult is that you want to complete it, and when you complete it, you receive some sort of satisfaction. Your satisfaction doesn't exclusively come from beating the challenge, it's a combination of the visuals, sfx, music, etc that work together to make it feel like what you did was worth it.
It's the job of the game to make something satisfying, not the player.
Seeing an S-rank is an example of this kind of stimulation.
>>332060791
Then wait for it to cool down, before eating, you fucking retard.
Does the game actually insult you?
mechanics were fun, and it felt good when you got through a level you struggled on.
story was fucking terrible. i remember playing the demo and it gave some megacorp/cyberpunk vibe that was completely gone in the actual game. would've liked that angle better than the forced vr-shill-thing we had to sit through. wasn't engaging at all.
don't feel like it was pretentious, just a shit choice of story.
basically laughed any time text came up on the screen so i wasn't taking it seriously, but the prison/walking/finding your 'real' self stuff was a massive waste of time and bugged me since, as i said, i couldn't take any of it seriously.
also is there a more optimal way to watch replays if i ever do pick it up again
>without going into video editor mode

taking up the entire screen, impossible to see shit.
>with going into the video editor
bright as fuck bloom effect or something, not as clean as the actual gameplay was. impossible to see shit.
i'd figure in the editor there would be a button to toggle it but due to lolminimalUI shitbaggery i must not have noticed it, if it existed.

>Games are much more complex in terms of emotional manipulation than just "hard thing = fun."
No they're not, they're just games.
It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years.
It's also pretty bad.
>>332063596
Sure, but good games have complexity and depth that make the game fun and satisfying for the player.
Also, to imply that games as shallow as mobile games are the exact same as, say, Deus Ex, is a complete insult to reality.
>>332060751
The game was ok, but it feels unfinished.
They gonna release free dlcs though
>>332060751
You have to check out this game. It’s the most innovative shooter I’ve played in years.
The game is fun.
Definitely not worth the asking price, though.
>>332063160
fuck off yahtzee you pretentious poof

>>332061794
>getting genuinely upset at a videogame shit-talking you
>>332064519
I'm not upset, I'm just not having fun.
>>332064519
It's not even the bantz kinda shit-talking, it's passive aggressive "keep playing our game sheep" shit.
>100% every challenge (and red timed)
>You have beaten SPEEDRUNrt challenge......clap, clap, clap.
Is that really fucking it?
>>332060751
No, the story was "Dude, you've gotta play this!" bait. It wasn't trying to be deep, it was trying to trick idiots into thinking it was deep.
I really like the game's gameplay. I think I think it's innovated, although that could be an implanted thought.
>>332065669
>it was trying to trick idiots into thinking it was deep.
That's the definition of the pretentiousness.
Also, you know what they did with the gameplay? They made like 32 levels and then rehashed the 25 levels 13 times and then made gave 9 of those levels endless challenges. Oh and most of them had platforming secrets that furthered the plot by making you question "Could it possibly get more pretentious than this?"
That is not innovation.
That is laziness.
>>332061358
>Gimmicks aren't innovative
What?
>innovative
>introducing new ideas; original and creative in thinking
Gimmicks can be innovative.
Wait for Mirror Edge 3 to steal the concept, add more ennemies, traps, weapons, gimmicks, and a less edgy story (andan open-world)
>>332066531
>Rehashing the same 2 hours of gameplay 15 times.
>Innovative.

Try saying that after playing through ape escape 2 on a hot summer's day, a 40 of king cobra and a drop of lsd. The opening of the kung-fu stage just GETS ME
>>332060751
I remember seeing gameplay of this game last year or maybe even the year before and I thought it was just some FPS with a fun gimmick.
Is it really that pretentious?
Does it try really hard to be deep but ends up being cringe worthy?
>>332061462
Honestly it would have been neat to have the redtext start off condescending and smug and then get more and more afraid as you complete the tougher challenges, coming to realize it created something more powerful than it can possibly control.
After the final challenge white text convinces himself he is an upgrade to red and proceeds to overwrite himself over him.and then the cycle begins anew with another human.
>>332067716
And your mother likes my dick but that doesn't change the fact it has an STD and your mom's prolly gonna die because of it.
>>332067818
Yes, it sacrifices fun for pretentiousness.
>>332067818
It outright spits in your face and tells you to shill the game while doing it
>>332067925
Technically it does not.
>>332060751
pretentious hipster bullshitI PLAY that
>>332065921
No it's not, dumbass. Pretentiousness is trying to do something deep and failing because you can't.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A SKUB ENDUCED CRIME?
NO
FUCK OFF
Fun game, $20 is way too much though. Story is rather forgetable, not good, not bad.
>>332069154
the witness might be pretentious as hell but at least there was more thought put into the game design than superhot.
very few times in superhot to they throw a new mechanic or trick into the mix that feels fresh. plus that story is short as fuck and right of the bat is self aware.
>>332068593
>>332069219
being anti skub should be a bannable offence
