Wow. The guy doesn't mention that he had any technical difficulties at all. The 1UP review talked about how sometimes the world map would just disappear.

This should help you sleep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MVAIf-leiQ#t=0m3sSweet, I have time to sleep! Thank you.
I really can't wait to pick this up tomorrow. I always heard of Fez, but I never "knew" what it was exactly. I only knew it was a puzzle game, which automatically gauged my interest, which was reinforced based on the hype that was building.
Now after hearing some impressions and seeing more extended videos, I can safely that I am on full hype mode to play this game. The Giantbomb QL really helped me understand the concept and ideas of the game and it just seemed all to interesting. It also helps that graphically it's very appealing and the music from what I heard sounded excellent.
In a way I'm glad I didn't know much about Fez up until this week, because if I did it would have made the wait to play it much, much, worst lol.
Tomorrow morning needs to hurry on up!

There's something magical about the old NES style music. Very atmospheric, moody; as if you're lost in space.
This music is better than most music I've heard this generation.
That's cool. I'm just reading more reviews than I have for a game in a long time mostly trying to pick out technical details. I've been waiting for this, like most of gaf, for a while but wanted to see the problems other people were running into.
My games usually work pretty well for me, so knock on wood I won't have a ton of problems with Fez.

From some posters in this thread, the game is supposed to get pretty devilish with its puzzles.

if this didn't have the gamestop rabbit, the slow pace, and the super easy everyones a champion setup i might have some interest.

Limbo seems like it would match up well with whatever deal was possibly struck with Fez.
4 months to wait - if that same deal was struck (and if Phil has a PC version ready to go).

Sorry for the lame post but I can't wait. A Captain Morgan and Fez Friday night.
The @Polytron twitter account has been saying flat out "This game is XBLA only there is no PC version" the past few days, paraphrasing. Not "no comment" or "news on a PC version later" or anything like that, just flat out denial. If it ever does come out on PC, it will probably be a long while from now.
That's not too lame. I might sit down with a glass of merlot myself.

So are Metroid and Castlevania. The distinction is primarily used to separate that style of gameplay from level based, linear sidescrollers.
Actually, I think having a separate hubworld makes for a different type of experience. If everything flowed together then it would be similar to a Metroidvania.
Just watched the GB Quicklook. Looks kinda messy from a technical point of view. And it looks like the novelty factor might wear off really quick and the puzzles not requiring much thought other than a couple of spins. Has this been addressed in any of the reviews? Anyway, it's only 800 MSP, right?
Same here except that the quicklook took any small desire I had to play the game away. Honestly not sure why this is anymore special than any of random steam indie puzzle platformers that come out every week or so.

That would be the overzealous hype train in full motion.

Or, SHOCK HORROR, it's a good game worth waiting for.

listen to the mad man
"If you have no interest... don't enter the thread"
"If this [was a different game]... I might have some interest"
hmm.

I never said it wasn't. I have not played the game, so I am passing no judgement on it. It is a day before the game releases, so the hype train is in full swing, hence the response to the comment that Lucha made.
I think the game looks nifty. There's no need to jump at me because I'm not throwing flowers at it's feet yet.

Of all threads to make people get a bit antsy, I did not expect it in this one. Looking at the last few pages this is hitting Epic Mickey levels, but just lacks the ultimate reckoning to top it off.

Guys im scared. im shaking. I am cold.
it hurts all over my body. the reason why I got a 360 has come to this day. the reason why I started playing the early platformars like pitfall and mario and sonic and bc and goldeneye... it was all because of this day. because of this game.
this game that will not only be the last significant game of all time. but also the game that will counter-attack and kill Trials and all the other "Omg digital download phenomenon". fez on white dude on this... its going to be... I cant write anymore. I cant. I have to hide under my desk.

I'm not throwing flowers at it's feet, I'm just not writing it off because some people are excited about a game that has been years in the making for a platform I don't own.

At no point did I write off the game. As stated in what you quoted, I think it looks cute (and in my previous comment) and nifty. In the same vein, from the screenshots, write ups and videos I've seen of the game, it looks somewhat bland at heart. No where did I say that the game is going to be bad.
The topic says not to enter if you have no intention to discuss the game. I'm giving my opinion, just the same as anyone else here saying it doesn't look like the game is for them or saying they are excited for it.
Are you that concerned that I mentioned that people are hyped for this game? That happens on almost every game on these forums when we get close to launch. It's not new.

Man this game looks awesome. One more game to the XBLA pile of "I wish I had a 360"
Dat music and atmosphere.

9/10, but Goldeneye isn't a platformer.
Okay maybe you did not completely write off the game and say it sucked, but you did state that is was a "bland endeavor." That's a somewhat damning statement for a game that hasn't even come out yet. Even still, I'm not saying you are not entitled to speak your mind but don't get salty when people who have been waiting for years are finally getting to play it. The same thing will happen for Dust, Trials Evolution, and plenty of other *gasp" XBLA games.
It is a mixture of different songs.
0:00-0:36 -- Compass
0:37-0:53 -- Nature
0:54-1:06 -- Puzzle
1:07-1:15 -- Home (I think)
1:16-1:34 -- doesn't appear in the soundtrack
1:35-end -- Beyond
