"But it’s…a fucking goat game. And it’s not a very good one."

Compared to.... other goat games...?

Our short review. It's fun whilst it lasts, but definitely not worth $10.

Totally agree, I can not understand why people are wasting money on this so called game.

 

[Ferrio]

Totally agree, I can not understand why people are wasting money on this so called game.

Because it's a fun physics game with tons of potential with community modding, much like Gary's mod.

Have you actually played it?

 

[Kyou]

bought this today and binged. Finished all of the missions and got all but two achievements, which as I understand are broken

What a fun, stupid game

 

[kudoboi]

Completed the game in 3.9 hours. That made it $2.5 per hour, however I enjoyed every minute.

Totally agree, I can not understand why people are wasting money on this so called game.

it is a game

 

[djtiesto]

Oh wow, I didn't know there was even a win state or missions or anything else. That's awesome... been looking forward to this one since its announcement though! Already got some Stevie Nicks cued up in my Winamp to listen to while I play...

 

[DrROBschiz]

If you cant understand why this game is incredible then you must hate gaming in general and should just sell all your gaming hardware now

You mean like when you bought MGS: Ground Zeroes?

Goat its longer yet cheaper. #Shocking

How big is the game world? It seems to all be in one smallish suburban area.

I got more laughes out of this game then most comedy movies these days. Totally justified my time playing it and will play more. Not sure what's so hard to understand.

It probably is that area plus a few secret ones. However with Workshop integration I expect there will be tons oft cool stuft coming for ages.

 

[bedlamite]

Wow at some of the guys in this thread

It's a computer GAME, lighten the fuck up lol!

Added to the OP, but ehh, I feel like the review missed the point.

It doesn't take itself seriously, so in my mind, neither should you.

 

[MUnited83]

[Picobrain]

Well at least it's a game.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Bought.
I love games like this.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Well at least it's a game.

And this isn't how?

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

I'm buying it for the laughs. Looks hilarious.

 

[Chettlar]

Ahh, love avatar quotes. This one's perfect, too.

 

[MUnited83]

Well at least it's a game.

Just like this one, so that statement is just stupid and nonsensical.

 

[More_Badass]

Well at least it's a game.

Can you explain what disqualifies Goat Sim as a game or, more broadly, what is your definition of a game?

Those two points seem quite crucial to this discussion and your argument

 

[DrROBschiz]

Im trying to wrap my head around how there is anyone who doesn't get some level of joy out of this

You have to be in some dark place to not smile at this games existence

Or have some kind of traumatic experience with goats taking their lunch money at school and stealing their date to prom...

Not enjoying it I can see. Saying that it's not a game it's nothing more than idiotic shitposting though.

Some of the biggest laughs I have had in games have been videos of people pushing physics engines to the limit in open world games.

Its the pinnacle of gaming hilarity lol

I completely agree, physics engines can be hilariously addictive! Be it Skate 2 and 3 Hall of Meat madness, the awesome Euphorya physics on GTA IV

or using the hook in Just Cause 2.

Also people pilling up hundreds of explosives in Crysis.

 

[Darknight]

Wow this looks fun as hell. Sadly gonna wait for it to be on Humble Bundle or go for 50% off due to backlog.

The downside of PC gaming.

Not sure if the deal is still on, but you can put on a goat costume, take a photo in public, and the devs will give you 10 steam keys for free!

Hush. You never what kind of flashbacks such a post could cause.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Game is stupidly awesome.

I posted a review. Many may not like my view on it, but here goes: http://www.savingcontent.com/2014/03/30/goat-simulator-review/
(Spoiler, I gave it a 2 out of 5)

Disagree with me? Agree with me? Let's discuss!

 

[TheSlySoul]

It is because the idea of a game not being in brown and a shooter must mean it is terrible.

 

[Alex]

Goat its longer yet cheaper. #Shocking

And better written, I'm sure.

Pretty much. It is a game as much as Gary's Mod. It will be interesting to see what people add to the game.

Damn. Modding the game already? PC gamers waste no time, LoL.

Now I remember why I love videogames.

Decided to make a video for the game. Was to good of an experience not to!

One of the devs mentioned it in a Reddit AMA earlier today.
