@op let me ask you something.. if limbo is that bad? why do u share indie game movie only with us?
Comment has been collapsed.
I didn't like it much to be honest. Short as hell ( took me less than 3hours on xbox without guides or anything ), 0 replayability, medium/easy difficulty ( I was only stuck on ONE puzzle, and because of how dark is the game ) and close to zero story. The only good thing about it is the artistic direction, but it doesn't even have music at all

"It's good but not great" denying it while saying it good. You know? i believe you think you are cool when you say something so nice: "good but not great" so you believe that playing other games ( indie games ) make you feel better ( like what game can leave the same impression as this game, Limbo ) and what you're saying means you think you have knowledge in gaming world, your words are so "true" that you don't even tell about what is its bad point(s). I believe only your mom could agree with you when you are talking about something and have no proof at all

Do you really want me to get into details? Okay, here we go:
First of all I didn't like the hype around it. When a game has hype around it you expect it to be something out of the ordinary. It wasn't. It was just a typical platformer/puzzle game with an original setting. Besides, I was expecting more jumping and running and less puzzles so again, it disappointed me in this field. The beginning was fine but the ending? I think it was terrible. I want closure when I play a game. At least some. I got none.
It had some good points but it was a disappointment in certain areas and that's why I think it's good but not great. My idea of a great indie game is Super Meat Boy, Gemini Rue, Bastion or Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet. Those games I loved from beginning to the end (even though I still haven't finished SMB yet).

it focused on its short story but has deeper feelings, did you see his face smiling? no of course, only his eyes shining in the dark place ( not very dark sometimes).He is not scared either , only one way (2D of course) but it makes it feels just like he only has 1 way to go, that way is to find his sister. A bond between siblings is much more a story than just some action indie game like Super Meat Boy, Bastion,... if that's your idea of great indie game then sorry, those are just for fun, enjoying killing, running, action, no deeper meanings . It's just for satisfying yourself of what you can't do in real life, make it unrealistic, people like that kind should go FPS or MMO instead of playing Indie games. More Jumping and running and less Puzzles? you will probably finish it in 15 minutes you bird brain!

i actually typed those words but not that harsh so don't worry. My English is not very good so i couldn't explain very well! No offense , just trying to prove that it's not that bad compare to other indie games. But really? "have you taken your pills today?" is your best reply? You have to learn how to accept things you know, things sometimes don't go smooth like what you think!

Nobody said this game was bad. At least not hustlayo. He called it a good game. I, myself, find it very good, not a masterpiece, but found it enjoyable despite its' short length and abrupt ending. And hustlayo (reply below) makes a point about games like Gemini Rue/Bastion...
Comment has been collapsed.
It didn't focus on his story at all. What was the plot of this game? There was barely a plot. They wanted to make it all mysterious and shit but they took it too far and the plot had no meaning. If only the plot was more stressed maybe it'd be nicer. But maybe the designers didn't even know what plot to invent so they created this "mystery". It may be deep or it may very well be shallow. We will never know.
And excuse me but did you just say that Gemini Rue is about "enjoying killing, running and action" and Bastion is about "no depper feelings"? Have you even played those games? Because you have no slightest idea what you're talking about. At least I've took my time to rate a game I've beaten. You're making stuff up about games you probably didn't even play for a second. Now, that is not fair. You don't have a right to judge something you have no idea about because that only shows your ignorance.
I like puzzles. But when I feel like solving puzzles I turn into adventure games, not platformers. When I see a platformer game I want to play something like old Rayman or Earthworm Jim.

I enjoy solving puzzles in this website, SG more than puzzle in games ( maybe in some games but i can't remember ) and of course that's right, i haven't played those games but you can't put them and compare to Limbo you know? they're colored, you can run, dash, jump ( not in Bastion right? ) but yeah i have watched their trailers so you have no worries. If you can't feel the plot then i prefer you should play it again, and if you are still don't know what the plot is, at least go search on google, there are plenty! I don't know what you feel but i still can feel its creepiness ( mostly about the spider, you can't speed up, you can't run away from him ) and make you feel lonely of course , no one accompany , the feeling of being alone and being hated! like super meat boy, Bastion, ... can make you feel that way. Because they have power ( the games' characters ) so you can't feel it!

I didn't compare them to Limbo. I said those are kind of games that I perceive as "great".
There is no "plot" per se. These that you want me to Google are just interpretations. That's a totally different thing.
I don't know, maybe it wasn't such a big deal for me because all this loneliness, creepiness, hatred I felt while playing other games which were way more "real" like Silent Hill 2, 3 and Amnesia: The Dark Descent. You want alone and creepy? Try those games. Less and less games do it for me anymore on the field of being scared, creeped out and stuff. I've beaten almost 300 games in my life man. It takes more than Limbo to do it for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Silent Hill 2, 3 Amnesia: The Dark Descent ? you are really something, stuffs like that creep, scare you because you don't know when it will attack you but the spider i believe it's different, we can all see because he was blocking the way, the boy has no choice => The spider chased after him, like me, my self when playing it was a prey from the start, running and running ( actually jumping forward with spider web all over you ) and the thing which is unexpected, creep me out the most is how i kill the spider ... feel rose every time i played it again!( take his leg out, push his head forward ...)
Comment has been collapsed.
Have you played Amnesia? In this game you are prey all the time because you can't even fight with the monsters. You have to run away from them and hide all the time. Now that's scary and that makes you feel vulnerable as nothing else. You should really check this game out.

haha you know, I'm actually a scaredy cat, I enjoy brighter games but somehow I enjoy Limbo too!

It's good, not great. Cool little game, but I think the rave reviews came at a time when the expectations of indie games were a lot lower.

Also this is a game you must play at night-time with lights off, preferably in 1 or 2 parts (it's extremely short anyway, you can beat it in one sitting). If you are not in the right mood or you play it in the daytime in ~1 hour sections, of course you won't like it that much.
Comment has been collapsed.
at least 3 hours, how could you say you can finish in 1 hour. Are you a pro and don't even die when playing it? :X i don't believe you because: First, the boy can't run and Second, you have to wait and do your stuff again when you're dead

"(it's extremely short anyway, you can beat it in one sitting). If you are not in the right mood or you play it in the daytime in 1 hour sections, of course you won't like it that much." Oh yeah? If you don't then how can you say this? you have no shame? trying to defending yourself... It's " 1 hour" lol is that what you meant? lol
Comment has been collapsed.
Dude wtf, I meant it's better to play the game in one sitting (start the game and don't quit until you finish it) or two parts (play it for some hours, quit, go to sleep, continue it next evening and finish it) than several little sections. ~1 hour sections is NOT 1 hour, but 1 hour + 1 hour + 1 hour and so on. I know my English is not the best, but I don't see how could you turn it like this. You could check my profile and see it took me 4.4 hours, why would I say I beat it in 1 hour?
Comment has been collapsed.
haha okay don't get fire up it's a misunderstanding my fault . It happened after replying some dudes up above and below ! But i think it's hard for you to play it in sections, as i put you must feel the same all the way around! the flow makes you feel deeper and deeper emotionally as you keep playing it. I prefer the first one then^^ and again, sorry for the misunderstanding

because they have played it already! IT"S FAMOUS IN MANY WAYS BUT WHAT I LIKE IS THAT GAME , THAT GAME HAS A STORY, A GOOD ONE THAT I COULD HARDLY FORGET!
Comment has been collapsed.
"because they have played it already!" Hardly. Only 26% of S.Gifts users have it. And only 50.5% of the Steam users who own the game have played it for more than a few minutes (based on how many unlocked the first achievement). And only 32.9% liked it enough to finish it, despite the short length.

maybe not through steam, it's a short one so there are cracked one for free to download ya know? and most of them are like the one above you,for instant Super Meat Boy guy or below this

Instead of playing alone and enjoy yourself you should make a thread or something that can share your opinion to the others and the others can tell you if they are agree with you or not. I enjoy defending my opinion and want the others to change their mind if they can't beat me! That's mean they're wrong and they have to re-think about it, make them feel deeper about trivial stuffs. Stop faking like they are noble, high and mighty when their brains are smaller than bird's. Humans have brains to think,to have feelings and sharing is a part of it, an important one that differs you from animal

yup i get so fire up when people exactly don't know what they're talking about when they haven't finished it or play it and die awfully without thinking. Therefore, what you said it's true "He thinks that everyone else is wrong with their opinions when they don't agree with him..." It happened when people are in the opposite side. It's not like i replied without re-thinking about it myself. Not a fight but a conversation to prove your theory, your idea, your opinion is right will improve your self and the others as well. Once again, I believe people who don't agree is kinda better than the ones that are saying it's bad ,no story! But don't get me wrong, what differ a grown up and a child? I'm defending my opinion, you must have something to stand for right? and something you can't stand!

You can't discuss about the opinions of other people and you can't force other people to think like you (what you said above). You can't convince someone to think that blue is better when he likes red, that's the same like here. You are behaving like a little child that doesn't care about the opinions of others and just think that he's right and everyone else is wrong. And you said above that Bastion and other games are bad without trying them although you said the same about Limbo and other people. It makes no sense discussing with a kid.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes and People like you always like that, when you're young, You kept telling your parents to trust you, believe you and let you be free with your choice and everything, but when you're an adult, you're just like them : " It makes no sense discussing with a kid " The Truth is, you are jealous because you are older, but not smarter , you think you are high and mighty, know every little stuff. You "discuss" and then saying it's no point discussing with a child. You're the child god dammit! if you don't give opinions then how the heck can you improve, if you're an elder you should know that right? there must be as many opinions as possible when you're in a thread! otherwise it will be a dead one!

I don't feel like opposing this, because you will get all mad. I love this game.

I'm not saying that it's a bad game. It's just overrated.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm pretty sure that overrated means it has undeserved popularity. Wouldn't that be hinting that you think it's bad?
Comment has been collapsed.
No, I wasn't "hinting" at that at all. I just think that the game got more hype than it deserves.

Loved the first half, but the story just goes "BLEH!" in the second half and bored the hell out of me. The visuals were outstanding throughout though.

I don't like the phrases "in my opinion," "that's just my opinion," etc. Of course I know it's your opinion. I'm able to figure out that much. But more than anything, I think those phrases make you sound insecure and actually fearful of what others have to say about your statements. I don't need a clarification that you're not sharing facts and that other people might disagree with what you have to say. I can easily tell that from reading that something is overrated, it is obviously not a fact. Therefore, I don't see why the imo shit is necessary.
But that's just my opinion.

in his opinion because there are some above you ... However it might feel that he sounded insecure like you said but i believe using it is better than not using it. It showed what you were thinking , what you believe in and do not care about others statements ( the opposite one ) it showed a determination about yourself so "in my opinion" you shouldn't put it as "insecure" or "fearful"
