I doubt it...and if true he is overreacting. Marcus Beer was being a complete unprofessional moron. He could have made his points better but he has an 'image' to keep I suppose. Not really worthy of an overreaction

Well he apparently doesn't consider himself a journalist so I doubt he feels obligated to be decent in any way.

Fish is an arsehole, but in this situation Beer is definitely the worse of the pair by a factor of 10.

Absolutely. Fish doesn't know when to let things go (at least Blow knows how to say "no comment" and keep front ranting too much) but Beer started the attention whoring first.

 

[FourMyle]

It's really your guys' fault with all the bad things you say about him! No wonder he's so rebellious.

(god it's so hot when he verbally assaults people and acts like a cock at the expense of decent people oooohhh~)

Yup, high school girls.

I sure hope you're not one of the retards on Kamiya's dick everytime someone makes a thread about him being racist and verbally assaulting (or should I say 'being a whacky Japanese!') people over twitter.

 

[npa189]

And nothing of value was lost. Fez was shit.

Amen, average platformer at best. Fuck the Tetris codes. I've played worse games, but the hype train did wonders for him. My steam copy got taken away, traded TF2 hats and I guess the guy was a deadbeat, but I'm really not that upset.

That is amazing news. What kind of artist with complete freedom would make a sequel as his second project. That is so uninspiring.

 

[fantomena]

I loved Fez, hope it isn't true.

Fish may act like a douche sometime, but I still like him.

 

[Crayons]

Phil Fish apologists are like high school girls at this point, yearning for the bad boy.

"No, you don't understand! He's just passionate. He's really a nice guy!"

How's the fedora going?

 

[LordJim]

True.
Nobody else would think it's a good idea to implement such puzzles

 

[zroid]

It's gonna be cringe-worthy when he cools off and has to climb down from these public outbursts in a few days.

This always happens with Phil. It's expected at this point.

Of course, the apparent humility lasts all of 30 minutes before he's back to his old, charming self.

 

[Courage]

Fish should learn a thing or two from Kamiya's twitter.

 

[ComputerMKII]

That is amazing news. What kind of artist with complete freedom would make a sequel as his second project. That is so uninspiring.

I agree with this. When you hesitate between making a sequel and exploring a new idea, always go with the new idea.

 

[Order]

This guy and Kamiya need to learn to chill.

 

[antitrop]

I think he realized "I'm rich, I don't have to put up with this shit.".

EDIT: It has been explained to me that he probably did not become rich from Fez.

 

[Grisby]

Man, this has been an interesting sat. For sure.

So is Phil FIsh like the Amanda Bynes of indie games?

Damn.

 

[CTLance]

Fish is an arsehole, but in this situation Beer is definitely the worse of the pair by a factor of 10.

It's a race to the bottom, isn't it? That makes it kinda enjoyable to watch, in a morbid way.

 

[Sophia]

Is anyone really offended by this?

Its not a matter of being offended, its a matter of having some tact when dealing with others.

 

[HocusPocus]

Not on Xbox or anything else now.

 

[Infinite]

no new fez, no new fez, no no new

 

[Broank]

I tried and failed to piece together exactly is going on but I can say man, what a bunch of idiots.

That guy in the gametrailers video especially.

Fish should learn a thing or two from Kamiya's twitter.

Isn't it pretty much the same thing?

 

[AuthenticM]

He's trolling you guys.

 

[Burt]

Fish should learn a thing or two from Kamiya's twitter.

See, that's something I really don't get. They do incredibly similar things, but people idolize Kamiya for it. It makes no sense.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Its not a matter of being offended, its a matter of having some tact when dealing with others.

I haven't bought Fez, is Phil punished enough for being a very bad boy on Twitter yet?

 

[davepoobond]

did we get phil fish's comments on the rumor that fez ii has been canceled yet?

 

[Dictator93]

Mad Men laughing

beautiful response

 

[Lifesontheline]

embarrassing i hope he cools off.

 

[Jason Frost]

Well, is this related to the follow up to the Indie Game: The Movie about him we got this week?

 

[Acquiescence]

Speaking of video game developers who act like 5 year olds on Twitter...

 

[Solid Samus]

Defending Phil Fish is one thing, shrugging off a comment that one should commit suicide is another.

It's an obvious, word for word reference to a quote from Futurama. Come on now

 

[B.O.O.M]

Well he apparently doesn't consider himself a journalist so I doubt he feels obligated to be decent in any way.

I mean who are we kidding? He can call himself anything he wants. But he is in fact part of the gaming media. His 'angry/annoyed gamer' is the act he does it through.

ps: Trust me..it feels real weird to even take Phis Fish's side on this lol I don't have a high opinion on him or Kamiya or other similar personalities. But he is not in the wrong in this situation.

 

[Demon Lizardman]

This is gettin weird

 

[smr00]

I loved Fez, hope it isn't true.

Fish may act like a douche sometime, but I still like him.

The problem with Fish is that he has this superiority complex and doesn't have a filter. He doesn't know when to stop speaking and always has this i am better than you attitude and it's why so many people think he's a douche. Not to mention he is overly dramatic.

The best thing Fish can do is either learn to filter himself or just stay off social media.

 

[KingOfLimbs]

It's an obvious, word for word reference to a quote from Futurama. Come on now

A reference that he most likely used as a direct message to commit suicide. You don't casually use those references.

 

[TriniTrin]

See, that's something I really don't get. They do incredibly similar things, but people idolize Kamiya for it. It makes no sense.

maybe because fish goes into rants and kamiya does 2-4 word insults? lol

Maybe its because Kamiya has made more than 1 game....

Honestly i got no idea!

 

[Sophia]

I haven't bought Fez, is Phil punished enough for being a very bad boy on Twitter yet?

Hell if I know. I haven't bought Fez either, but I don't care too much for puzzle games.

See, that's something I really don't get. They do incredibly similar things, but people idolize Kamiya for it. It makes no sense.

Kamiya has a degree of charm that Fish lacks. You don't see Kamiya go on multi-long tweets to people that end in him telling the person to kill themselves.

 

[Roto13]

Attention whore

See, that's something I really don't get. They do incredibly similar things,

Not even close.

 

[Gbraga]

This. The guy's having a laugh. Game isn't cancelled. Free PR.

I hope so, if his previous tweets about the kind of shit he gets affecting him and making him feel bad are true.

He needs to take a page out of the Kamiya book, that man does not give a fuck. He'll tell you to use your own brain, and if you tell him to go fuck himself, he won't give a shit. You need to have thick skin if you want to act like that, you can't act like you don't care when you do, you're only setting yourself up for being hurt.

Most of the times I think he's a dick, but that made me feel bad for him, I hope he's just joking, he doesn't deserve as much shit as he gets (but he should have in mind the amount of people that knows him and could be offended by what he says)

 

[Treefingers]

Defending Phil Fish is one thing, shrugging off a comment that one should commit suicide is another.

come on dude. can you stretch it any more?

A reference that he most likely used as a direct message to commit suicide. You don't casually use those references.

wtf?

Do you honestly think that was meant to be taken seriously?

 

[Courage]

See, that's something I really don't get. They do incredibly similar things, but people idolize Kamiya for it. It makes no sense.

Haven't seen Kamiya insulting his haters in a while, he just hilariously misleads them.

 

[FZZ]

You didn't say the "kill yourself" comment was out of line at all. In fact you said this.

Umm, I wasn't citing the "kill yourself comment" directly, I meant that I wasn't condoning comments similar to that, and the other ones he made.

Also in the other thread I said this

It's inexcusable for what he said before, but I still find myself feeling sorry for the guy.

There was not at one point where I defended his comments, even in the one where I said he was referencing Futurama I was only trying to give a little bit of context to the situation.

Defending Phil Fish is one thing, shrugging off a comment that one should commit suicide is another.

Again there was not at one point where I defended him, nor did I ever shrug off him tell Marcus to kill himself, the only thing I said that could even be considered "defending" Phil was that I was worried that he might do something dangerous to himself, and that I feel sorry for the guy.

 

[EVOL 100%]

Kamiya has a degree of charm that Fish lacks. You don't see Kamiya go on multi-long tweets to people that end in him telling the person to kill themselves.

Someone said that Fish is Kamiya without the charm. That's spot-on.

 

[Itchy//Tasty]

we need a Breaking Bad "YOU ARE A BLOWFISH" .gif

 

[YouEnjoyMySelf]

Attention whore

Pretty much. This guy reminds me of a kid I knew in high school who was a belligerent and liver spot riddled alcoholic by 18. Egotistical sociopaths.

 

[reggie]

I hope so, if his previous tweets about the kind of shit he gets affecting him and making him feel bad are true.

That's the difference though. Kamiya can dish it out AND take it. Phil Fish loves dishing it out but can't take it back at all. Dude is weak.

 

[stktt]

Phil Fish is so cool.

 

[M4shy]

I swear he's always like this. Some days he's sarcastic and others not.

Edit: just read his previous tweets.. well then

 

[YianGaruga]

joystiq with the hot scoops

http://www.joystiq.com/2013/07/27/fez-2-canceled/

"It's true," Fish told Joystiq in an email.

lol journalism.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Mentally ill minor celebrity prone to abusive outbursts.

wow :lol

 

[LiK]

Drama for yo mama

 

[Chuck]

So no Indie game the movie 2: electric bungaloo?

They should do something big again in the future. Get away from this angry man with mental issues and find some other devs with interesting stories.

 

[elohel]

why did I pay this man money?

lol
