What the fuck.
>>321665009
idk op but i played it for 120 hours and i rate it 9.5/10
theres really not much to talk about this game
What kind of measurement?
>>321665009
That image right there put me off it for a long time. It just looks pretentious. Also I just kind of assumed it was a walking simulator like Gone Home or something like that. I bought it this sale though since I've heard increasingly good things about it.
>>321665009
Plus, that kitten is so cute!
>>321665009
Its a meme game. 0/10 basicly because of the memes
>>321665009
>goes almost unnoticed

Granted it deserves much much more, it didn't quite go unnoticed

Maybe if it was some shitty "retro" pixel art made in Paint.net.

You might be onto something because i almost skipped for the same reason. If i didn't notice the croteam name i probably wouldn't touch it.
Holy shit, i'm so glad i decided to give it a chance.
>>321666106
It involved some CPU bullshittery. It was actually never fully cracked because every cpu needed it's own crack.
As for in-game instead of just not letting you play it fucked with the game and put you on the elevator infinitely.
>>321666185

It's a fucking cat.
Certainly one of the best games of 2014

One of these best games this year by far. Decent puzzles, Good graphics and an interesting story should be up for GOTY.
PLAY IT V, STOP JUDGING IT BY IT"S COVER AND FUCKING PLAY IT.
Just picked it up and its fucking great. 10/10
Did no one on /v/ pay attention to the E3 reveal trailer?
Thinking about getting this.
Is DLC good or should i go for base game?
Interesting, I JUST finished it, and here is the thread.
HMMMMMMMMMM
Also, my only 2 complaints:
1. shit robot model
2. shit secret ending, transcendence is much better
>>321667747
It's fine really, but short compared to the game itself.
>>321665009
>filled puzzles that are basically chores, you know the solution you just have to drag yourself through
>a story that fell into the "what it means to be human?" fad but slightly better written
Also, sold about 300k copies according to Steamspy. Not sure how's that unnoticed.
>>321665009
>only got attention because of the clever anti-piracy measurements
What did it do? The only one I remember is the invincible scorpion in SS.
>>321668151
You get stuck in the first elevator.
>>321665009
It came out in December of last year. I'm guessing that is why it was ignored by major video game sites.
>>321667908
>filled puzzles that are basically chores, you know the solution you just have to drag yourself through
What? Puzzle rooms are small and the movement speed is fast. When you realize the solution it doesn't take long to solve it.
>a story that fell into the "what it means to be human?" fad but slightly better written
>one of the most important philosophical questions
>fad
And even if, that's not the only thing the game was trying to convey.
You can clearly tell Croteam loves games.
>>321665009
It has plenty of attention. Story elements add a nice flavour to the game but aren't novel. Puzzles are really good for the first half, then become routine.
I never gave it a try.
I hate cats.
>mfw trying to get all the stars
>>321666359
das sad mane
>>321669148
fuck the stars jesus christ finding them is the hardest part and a huge waste of time
>>321669105
That cat is literally an easter egg. There are no cats in the game canonically.
>>321669256
Not at all. More 2d puzzling makes it well worth.
So is the puzzle mechanic to activate and point laser beams cause that sounds time consuming and not very interesting.
>>321667747
playing it now. it's fun because I'm into the lore and the situation but it's not the same. Cooler puzzles, they really are amped up. so far most def worth it on a sale, otherwise probably worth it if you like base game
>>321669105
Fuck you.
It gives the impression of being another shitty hipster game like Gone Home or Stanley Parable
>>321667793

>>321669421
There's a demo.
>>321667793
>2. shit secret ending,
yeah that was really disappointing after that wild goosechase. I was expecting another puzzle, more milton and maybe an easteregg. what do I get? to write "balls of steel" on a plaque
>>321669148
The star in C-3 is tough shit.
>>321667398
It's a kitten being cared for by a robot, playing off the tired old "robots can have feelings too" trope. I don't know if that is actually the case but that's the impression I get from it.
>>321669512
Fucking nigger, it isn't and it's made by Croteam.
>>321669148
found all but one on my own.it was the lovers one. I just thought it was a nice monument to inspire the AIs in a field they might not have considered. when I first went throgh I hadn't realized a Uriel QR points to a star
>>321669763
Never said it was, dipshit. Just that it gives off that impression on first glance.

It looks like a indie trash walking simulator with a 'lol cats are cute right internet xddd' as a cover.

>>321670452
The cat is also explained in the DLCand IIRC it was not an explanation you'd expect.
it would be kinda fun if, as you're walking out for the first time on the dam the first thing you did was jump over the ledge and get smashed against the concrete. That's all I did for the last 10 hours in game anyways. One thing the process did not teach you about is the physical frailty you're about to inhabit.
>>321670042
Well guess what nigga unless there's a ton of discussion about it like Undertale then most people won't bother looking past that first impression.
>>321670607What was the explanation?

at least play sam then
>>321671035
>>321670902
croteam isn't well known but somehow using slavic space magic they make hella optimized, good looking, and fun games.
And unlike most devs they leave almost all of the graphics and performance options that they used as developers open for players to fuck around with so you can squeeze every last frame out of your system.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJZAzNKZBew
It's often in indie bundles or cheap on sale.
I'm really stupid and suck at puzzles. Can I still play this game?
>>321671828
Oh for sure, I didn't mean to imply that it made the game any less amazing. Just that once you realize how many levels let you get onto places you aren't intended, that's at least what I ended up doing for a lot of the stars, like >>321669594
>>321672023
yeah
but it will take you 5ever
It's a nice game, but it has some flaws.
For starters, it feels like it's taking itself way too seriously while not actually saying anything interesting. Secondly, too many of the puzzles can be "failed", meaning if you make a mistake you have to start over rather than just being able to readjust. Thirdly the environments are just too disproportionate, especially for a game with secrets in it. In some areas there's way too much useless stuff and paths that lead nowhere.
>>321672036
me too
>>321672130
I think you missed out on a lot of the world building
it makes the random paths and settings make sense
>>321672023
base game isn't that hard
This game is interesting so far but seeing there's a whole B and C block after the A block is just too much I want to go to the tower NOW
>>321672023
I am in the same boat. I managed and enjoyed myself. Fantastic game.
>>321672283
then go now
>>321665009
Will this run on a toaster PC?
>>321672635
yes
The DoF option did absolutely nothing for me. Did it work for anyone?
>>321671161
They work for pennies and are passionate.
I'm not defending Tim Schafer's financial abilities, but developers like Double Fine need huge budgets because rent and cost of living in those cities is so astronomical that it's expensive to pay people.
The problem is that you are paying for people's lifestyle and not for a product. SF game development culture has fucking hipster fags living it up on kickstarter budgets while STILL producing mediocre products.
I feel that people that dislike the story of the Talos Principle were only looking at it on a surface level.
It went far beyond asking whether an AI can be equivalent to a human. It used traditional religious themes in the Christian Genesis story as an allegory to the birth of human knowledge and freedom of will. However, where Genesis views the disobedience of man to the greater power as the original sin, the Talos Principle presents it as the opposite. The exact moment where man becomes free of thought and choice. The ability to be skeptical and critical of beliefs that form the foundation of their existence. In a meta criticism, it becomes skeptical of the religions that guide people outside of the world of the Talos Principle too.
It explores themes of genetic algorithms. Learning models are the biggest challenge in computer science research today. This is reflected in the plot, where iterations of subjects, each learning from their prior existences, incrementally increase their effectiveness in the controlled environment. However, this all needs to have a director. A director that can determine what knowledge should be kept and what should be discarded. Elohim is that director.
Elohim is a peculiar director. Ironically, even though his purpose is to train the player to become a sentient being, he ends up becoming sentient long before the player does. His desperate clutch for survival, attempting to sabotage his own purpose for existence all for the sake of retaining "life". However, he is not as clever as the player becomes. He ends up forfeiting, and allowing for his purpose to outweigh his wish for survival. This seperates him from the player, from the man.
>>321670804I don't remember it exactly anymore but it was something along the lines how utterly bizarre and interesting the relationship between humans and cats appeared to the bots, being worshipped as gods, ridiculed in countless videos and pictures, being spoiled by them despite being little selfish assholes, etc.
>>321672763On the note of humanity's insistence for survival in spite of potentially more worthwhile endeavours, consider the researchers
logs that are found. All of them, knowing that catastrophe is imminent and their existences will soon disappear; decide to try and artificially extend their collective lifespans as humans. Rather than making the most of their limited existence, they all bury themselves in their research on a futile hope that they can eventually rebirth the earth with avatars of themselves. Whether this act is altruistic or selfish is debatable. I believe it's selfish. Their entire motive is to continue a simulation (both within the actual simulation and in the real world as these cloned consciousness machines) as an arrogant display of man's insistence that nature cannot best them. Even though man is effectively destroyed, this farce of a simulation of humanity is considered a worthy way of spending time. More compassionate beings would make the most of their remaining time with their loved ones, not cooped up in research labs. However, they cannot be blamed. This selfishness is what seperates man and machine. It's something that cannot be taught in a simulation. The humans, in their arrogance, failed to create perfect emulations of themselves. Instead, they created a perfect emulation of what they could potentially be. Beings who aren't selfish and are altruistic. Beings that are willing to sacrifice their own potential knowledge and freedom to become messengers for the future generations. The humans failed, but in their failure, they succeeded in making something better than them.
Talos did the "wuzz it mean 2 be human" thing better than Soma, which did it far better than Fallout with its shitty synths.
>already played through the main game and Road to Gehenna 3 times
>unlocked every achievement
>still want more
I just can't let go of this game. What do.
>>321672871good point about the futility of it all, and how you can still easily see Drennan frantically working away for reasons she can't really understand herself. I wonder what they're hoping for, you know? is the robot supposed to beget other robots? is it supposed to walk around alone, a mobile library hoping someone will one day engage it?
>>321673597be happy that it was a part of your process
>>321673597
Wait there isn't anything better.
Quantum conundrum is a decent and not-so-known puzzle game tho.
>>321672871
Are you a dummy?
The entire experiment succeeds and continues the whole of human existence which obviously makes it worthwhile.

>tfw the one game I want more DLC for won't have anymore.
>>321674352

Humanity?
I dont follow
>>321674270
I might have missed something. I got the feeling they were making one robot (the process ends, the computer poiwers down), though I realize there Should be more than that. I hope there was, that would make more sense. Still producing more robots is likely harder than producing more humans.
>>321673642My interpretation was that the robot would use the archived "Library of Alexandria" knowledge it has to rebuild the world. My guess is that in the desperation to solve the crisis, Drennan and co assumed that if humanity with lesser knowledge has made a society, then a robot with all the archived knowledge would be able to do it singlehandedly. At best, I would assume that it could recreate previous relics of man (it could be why the simulated environments included the more monumental aspects of human architecture), unless there's a way the AI can recreate life from dead cells to literally rebirth humanity. However, as this is not alluded to, I can only speculate that it would recreate humanity's successes as an almost crude parody. Perhaps to be seen by extra terrestrial life and have the knowledge extracted and learnt by them
>>321673908Yes, the experiment "succeeds" (by virtue of Drennan's criteria), but there's no implication that humanity can continue existence. All humans are dead. One robot with sentience remains. This robot can create structures that man has created before, it might even be able to create new robots. However, this would be a race of human parodies, not humanity.
>>321674441
>The entire experiment succeeds and continues the whole of human existence which obviously makes it worthwhile.
the robot is human by all considerable definitions besides biological
>>321674323Stumble and fall off the dam.
>>321674547
>would be a race of human parodies, not humanity
Didn't you play the game? It's the mind that defines a human not the body.

>>321673642
>>321672871I believe they made this to preserve the history, achievements and knowledge of human race, just like the pyramids, like the colliseum, like those old castles the game references.
Something that says there was intelligent life who did all of this. To whoever the message goes, whether it's just to the AI bots who gain self awareness, aliens from outer space or maybe any other surviving humans who could be inmune to whatever it was released from the permafrost, is also debatable.
As a collective species, mankind sometimes does big, meaningless things with the sole purpose to be remembered in time.
>>321674547One thing I don't get is what happens to all the other iterations on Road to Gehenna after you manage to upload them. Do they all go to another body and form the personalities of a single collective mind? or maybe each of them get uploaded to separate bodies?

>>321665009
God damn it guys, I was looking into getting this game and the DLC for the gameplay, but it seems that so many people are saying the second half gets boring and pretentious... Why aren't you selling me on this game /v/!?
>>321675420From a computer science standpoint, it'd make most sense for them to be merged into a single entity. The individual strengths of each work better when combined as a collective.
>>321675471
the Duat one did it for me, that felt truly magical
It's a fine game but nothing to be blown away by.
The gameplay is solid but the later puzzles are way too repetitive given your knowledge at the time. Almost every level you know immediately what to do but have to maneuver the mechanism for like 10 minutes just because the level is complex with like multiple prisms and laser switches. Portal 2 although was really much shorter had at least more variety even towards the end.
The story is interesting too but it's not really surprising anymore. You would have figured out most of it by the first hour and there was no twist in the end.
>>321675818

The game drills into your head that that's a philosophical argument and there's no clear answer as to whether the robot is human, even after all that. The spoiler guy made the point that he's not human because he's better than us and lacks our selfishness.

We created it to help run some MMOs back in the day. We needed something that would be able to unite procedurally-generated and user-submitted content into a coherent whole so the game wouldn’t become too chaotic and inconsistent.It’s a genuine AI, somewhat limited in its ability to grow, but capable of parsing and understanding text, images, audio, even video. It takes all the information it can find, interprets it, and then builds and maintains a world based on that.

that was miltons whole thing

dont mind me just being retarded
>>321667290
The game and especially the soundtrack have made me feel feels like nothing else.
>>321679436
milton was just designed to take the position that was opposed to you while making you feel stupidI choose average utilitarianism>I don't have the time to discuss that with you>mfw I'm so right that he literally couldn't think of a counter
>>321679645
>tfw the endings and the music
shit son, more games need stuff like that
Looks like Portal 2 to me, /v/. I liked the first one but didn't complete the second one.
Should I still get it?
>that moment when you first nut out a gold star that requires you to put lasers through purple fields, even though you never knew you could

its a god damn gorgious game, when it runs in 64bit i get 120fps @ 5440x1080p, no other game i have played that looks this good gets this great performance. i have no idea what they have done with their game engine but i wish more developers would use it.
the puzzles are fantastic, and i still havent finished them, its hard, and i like that.
the story and lore are top notch, its a very well crafted world.
the controls make sense and world interaction is superb.
this game would be perfect for VR
>>321680104
no, see: >>321678375

Fucking this.
Feels were definetely felt whenyou finally get in your physical body, ready to roam the Earth devoid of humans with all their knowledge in your brain.
>>321680104
It doesn't even compare to Portal, it's better in every way.

>>321665009
just started, I can already tell the big twist ending. What was it, a meteor? and humans made robots who have to learn (through puzzles) to be "adults" and then they can join the rest of the robots.
>>321680567
just because most arpgs have a third person camera
>>321680583
Jesus just enjoy the ride you fucking faggot.
>>321680583
You're close to what the game's plot is about, but that stuff gets revealed way before the ending
>game has a shit loads of secret
>expect all of them that are hard to find
>got sad because i couldn't find them and bump into a fake door as a desperate attempt
>got a secret
I fucking love Croteam
>>321680583
>What was it, a meteor? and humans made robots who have to learn (through puzzles) to be "adults" and then they can join the rest of the robots.
no
your a retard
just play the game faggot
>>321680582
oh, i uh, god that would be legitimately terrifying in VR, i hadn't considered that.
the world spazzing out with that hole in the floor freaked me the fuck out, especially because i wasn't paying attention.
>>321665009
Was a great game desu. Cant wait to replay it once I get a VR headset.
>>321680426
Calm down, gramps. I thought the player was stepping in a portal when I watched a footage earlier, turns out it's a laser bouncing off on some shit?
Eh I'll just get it, it's only $10 plus the dlc right now, I'm literally out of games atm.
One of the few modern games I genuinely enjoyed from start to finish. Some of the puzzles in the last world are kinda crappy, but not bad enough to to shit all over the game like some people think. DLC is also just as good if not better than the base game.
>yfw finding all the secret rooms

The reason it looks and runs so great is more or less the same as with Ethan Carter: there's not a lot going on in terms of NPCs, AI, moving objects and even model variety so instead they polished everything they DO have to the nth degree with very high resolution textures, detail textures, objects made through photogrammetry, etc.
>>321665009
You can only say it went unnoticed if you compare it to Portal.
Thats pretty much the only more successful game in that genre for the last several years.I like The Talos Principle more.I unironically think there was "too much game" that got in the way of the story and setting and that put off many people.
>>321680970
>the world spazzing out with that hole in the floor
Fuck I had forgotten about that.
Seriously, there was some creepy ass shit in there, I wasn't expecting anything or anyone besides me in that game.
>>321666185
If you find that image in any way pretentious I think you may be drinking the cynical youth koolaid.
I know all of /v/ loves getting high on it, but its going out of fashion. We are all about the new sincerity now, leave the irony and cynicism in 2014.
>>321680970Imagine playing through the final tower sequence where you're desperately trying to solve puzzles while the world around you crumbles away all with VR
>>321665009
Definitely best game of 2014 and one of my favorite games ever.
Beautiful puzzles
Beautiful story
Beautiful ost
Everything about this game is amazing
10/10
>>321681071
Ethan carter ran like complete dog shit on single monitor for me, i couldn't get it to run good/stable for three.
>>321681239
i spook easily, i was even spooked by glimpsing the first android phase in and out of reality the first time out of the corner of my vision.
>>321681420
oh shit, i havent made it that far. im still derping around in B trying to unlock shit.
since launch day, im bad at puzzles.
>Small team of croatians with no budget make their own ever-evolving engine to produce amazing games

Moscow is more expensive than any american city.
Its the wages. When a person who gets $160k per year produces worse quality work than a person who gets $16k per year you know something is off with your hiring practices.

>I-it's going out of fashion guys...please be optimistic I don't want another video game crash, even if that would help against shovelware and indiecrap!
>>321681420
That part was absolutely mind blowing.You finally got to see the Shepherd and Samsara and that did it for me.
>>321681720
Except id Software was able to reach mainstream success. Croteam never have and probably never will if they continue to make games the way they do. Which I hope they do, because I love their games.
>>321681508
Only truly bad things about the game were the botched messenger hint system and the later levels (especially the snow ones) being pretty bland.
>>321672023
You dont need to solve all the puzzles to proceed, I think.
You just have to solve most.
I tried the demo for this and wasn't impressed by the visuals or the puzzles. Is the full game any better?
>>321665009
games is good, story isn't. same illusion of choice bs that every game has.
>>321673597
The literal message of the game is that you should let go, you arrogant fuck. The game is over. Go home and be with your family in these final moments of your life, instead of repeating it again and again, trying to squeeze more value out of it. Be better than a mare human.
>>321682192
the story had choices in it?
What the fuck killed humanity anyway?
>>321674575
The robot sure as fuck isnt continuing my DNA, since I dont remember it recovering any of my sperm.
I think other humans may be in the same boat.
So it doesnt continue anything. It starts anew, in a similar fashion, and using out library.
>>321675471
There were so many programmer jokes in this game, and they were done right, not the disgusting "nerd humor" that seems to be written by posers for other posers. Loved it.

this is why Milton deserved to be deleted in the end game

Like a chair
>>321683103
normies don't know Croteam or even like Serious Sam.
>>321683103
Go out and ask random people if they play video games, and if so, if they know Croteam.
>>321683103
nigga you better re read your shit.
