So why are you posting here?

Possibly popped into here to see if anything could sway his opinion or get him excited about it. I doubt he came by just to talk shit or anything.

No idea. All I know is that I'm sad.
I planned my night around playing this at midnight.Basically this. There tons of games like this (i guess by "this" i mean indie), feel like im missing out not being able to enjoy any of them. Not that i haven't been trying. But seeing something like this get a ton pf perfect and high scores and being unable to find any interest in it at all feels strange.

Have you played Limbo?
And it's always a matter of personal taste. Nothing strange about that. Like I'm probably the indie guy here (it's either me or Toma) and I just couldn't get into Undertale and Stardew Valley does absolutely nothing for me
Never take a review score as a metric of how much you will or should like something. There are movies/games that got bad reviews that I enjoy and others that were acclaimed that just didn't click with me, even though I could appreciate the craft.

IGN is sending out those 10s like its Christmas.
I did give it a try. I didn't put very much time into it. It wasn't bad or anything, and I liked the visual style of it. But it just wasn't something I could see myself paying for and playing through completely.
I did enjoy Braid and played quite a bit of it, but still never finished it. I just tend to lose interest fairly quickly after the initial "oh this is different" or "the visual elements are pretty nice".
I definitely appreciate what they are and the people that make them, although i can't seem to enjoy playing them.

Only three this year iirc
Undertale, The Witness, Inside
Other sites give out top scores much more often

If it's anything like limbo, it's not so much about difficulty curves as it is about trail and error.

It's a shame you can't enjoy these types of games, but that's a common enough sentiment.
For me, I've had a lot of time for "arty" platformer games since I played Another World at release and was blown away by how stylish and immersive it was. Those style of games all but died out for over a decade until they could be supported by the "indie" model.

The genre name is cinematic platformer, and they're certainly making a comeback. There's a fantastic open-world cyberpunk one in development, and quite a few others
What do you think of Monochroma? It just came out on XB1 and has been on PC since 2014 I believe. I've been debating whether or not I should get it.

Cinematic platformer... yeah, that sounds about right!
The resurgence has been going on for a while now, and I couldn't be happier. I wonder if Eric Chahi would ever consider making a game of this style again?
$20 Canadian on XB1. I'd assume it's also $20 American.

I didn't want to post this in case I was wrong, but it still says 12:01 on my xboxone as well as the xbox.com store page. Does the tweet take precedence over these two store page displays? I'm guessing it does unfortunately =(.
Well achievements aren't even up yet for this game (from what I can see). So I doubt it'll be playable within the hour.

I'm on the XB1 store page right now:
"This product is installed. Available on 6/29/2016 at 6:00:00 AM"
For what it's worth, I'm in the preview program and the store layout is a bit different. It may not have updated to the correct time for non-preview members.
You and the guy/gal waiting for the Vita version are my favorite two peoples in this thread. Just total insanity.
Just total lack of any context.
I'm with you on that
I think my store says 4:00 AM (5 and a half hours from now). In the preview program.
Pffft I'll be at work then , got up early to play it .

Those scores are nuts.

Bummer, I was hoping to play it tonight. What an odd time to release it.
Yup 11am.
