Played the demo.
Enjoyable, but not earth-shattering enough to give license to mock Japanese games.
Certainly a great Indy game, and definitely worth the 80pts they are asking.

Meh, the ball's been in America's court for several years now, they've yet to catch up.
"20 minutes" of watching somebody play a puzzle game doesn't really give someone any sort of license to say if it is good or bad.
20mins what part was your 'friend' up to?
Is it ACTUALLY America, or your idea of what America is? Because a lot of the good 2D platformers come from completely different places.

He should just stick to "western" like most do that way he covers all of europe and NA
How are people still upset about this? Yes , it was a stupid thing to say. But can you really judge a man, his studio and his game over one thing, and not the rest that he has achieved? He has probably revitalized an entire genre with Fez that has been dead for years.
He's made one game in five years. If he shows he can actually put together a good second project, then we'll see then.
Also, the genre wasn't dead, and Fez alone isn't revitalizing anything.
Mere curiosity, what genre is it, and how was it revitalized?He has probably revitalized an entire genre with Fez that has been dead for years.
And wow at the dude who thought FF XIII-2 is better than this without having played it...that's straight up trolling.

Just out of curiosity, which genre are you referring to? There has been no shortage of excellent platformers for the past several years.
I said I did play it.
Phil Fish hasn't revitalized shit, and never will.
I got a code for the game, so I wouldn't even have to support Fish with my own money in order to play Fez. But, I've not yet decided if I'll even support him with my time.
Might seem petty of me, sure, but his part in all of this really bothered me. Wasn't even just the initial comment—it was how he reacted to it and his attitude afterward. I'm sure Fez is a great game, and I did have interest in it—at the same time, I have so many other games still to play that it wouldn't be like I'd be depriving myself of enjoyment.

ps ya'll should go back over phil fish's GAF comments from years ago, especially the games as art debate.

This is getting weird, you guys.
PC isn't going to happen unless controller is made mandatory.
Edit: Fuck posting ITT in any more, what a bunch of bitter, transparent posters we have in here.
PC isn't going to happen unless controller is made mandatory.
i'm a controller guy, but that's a really weird caveat. it's just inviting workarounds and pics being sent to your twitter of people playing with racing wheels and flight sticks.
Revitalized?
Suit yourself, but you're not giving him money out of the kindness in your heart. You're buying a good video game-tape.
Seriously, his comment was nuts.If I played the first 20 minutes of FFXIII-2, a fetch quest for 4-5 items in a boring locale, would you honestly be able to say I could judge the game?
That's disgusting...
They'd have to change multiple puzzles in the game if you're not using a controller. You would never be able to solve them with KB+M, racing wheels or a flight stick. That's what he meant and he's right. In its current state the game is literally unfinishable without a controller.

ah, really? wasn't aware of that - how are they locked into controller use specifically though?
The man speaks the truth and makes a great game to back it up. What's not to love?
Your move, Japan.
I was confused because I unsubscribed from the Fez thread (due to not actually being able to play it and it having finally reached the point of spoiler discussions), but then Fez showed up in my subscriptions again.
Why are people still talking about this? Grow up, get over it. Seems silly to keep bringing it up again and again.

It pretty much has since the UK and the rest of europe ceased to be distinct dev areas. I know it may not sound fair compared to tiny little Japan by itself but they lump them all together because they make very similar games as each other. Eastern Europe strays a bit from the current mold but they're still making similar games as NA did in the 90s and early 2000s.
