Literally fell into my own chasm of tricks.

I'll have impressions up when the embargo lifts, but yeah, I'll be very interested to see the reactions to this

Is anyone putting up a Spoiler thread?
 
Man, I don't know wether to get this or Unravel. I love the Idle Thumbs gang. Don't know if I have the patience for these typed of games though, never even finished Gone Home. And Unravel seems awesome too, and comes out on the same day.

But I am in the mood for a new game, finished The Witness yesterday.
 
Been looking forward to this one for a while. Gonna end up getting it on PS4 unless the performance ends up being really bad. Grow Home and Infamous SS didn't bother me much in terms of games with jumpy frame rates so I should be alright. Unity stuff is even worse on my laptop, but at least there you usually have some graphics settings.

I kinda regret watching IGN's part 1 and 2 coverage of this considering the length of the game, but it did sell me on it and didn't spoil any of the mystery.

This isn't like Gone Home. More akin to a Telltale game. First person narrative adventure

Oh, this is what happens when you tale something at face-value. I have only looked at the reveal trailer, because if I'm gonna play something as story-driven as this, I'd rather not know anything about it. Thanks!
 
If I can give one piece of advice, it's to turn off the "Show location on map" option. I'm a hiker and they totally nailed the feeling of using your map, compass, and landmarks to orient yourself and find your way.

You've got good taste my friend. I'd have to look back, but I'm pretty sure The Witness was my #1 and Firewatch was my #2.

XCOM2 was up there but I decided to wait for a PC upgrade -.-. Either way what an insanely stacked Q1.

Sounds cool. I'll make sure to do that. Thanks.
 
Yeah, Jake did such an amazing job with the map. I wish I could erase my memory of the layout because I'd love to experience what it's like to actually need it.

Yeah, they nailed all the traversing mechanics. I cant wait for the ambargo to lift and for the review thread so we can talk openly about it, I already read my review like 10 times today lol. It will be a fun discussion

:o

This is a great idea....getting excited to try this tomorrow. Going to have play this with my headphones on, not something I often do. Just seems perfect for it.
 
Man, I'm probably going to use my flex time tomorrow to work a short day tomorrow so I can get home to play it.

Any chance of a pre-load on steam? The game looks small, so no big deal if not...I'll just start it before work. Unlock time?

Good luck with the launch! The game looks wonderful, I would pre-order it if I could (EU here).

Are you indeed designing a dynamic theme for the PS4 version?
 
really counting on the philly metro area to get some snow tomorrow to keep me from work and playing this tomorrow.

anyone know how long this game is expected to be? im not one of those time=value people but id just like to know what id be sitting down for.
 
Got to
The Ending - 8 of 11 lasers unlocked. Still plugging away on the back burner

Took me about 4, almost 5 hours, but there were some things I missed so I could have explored more. Dev has said 5-6 hours
