I'm conflicted because I kind of want to play it, but I hear the creator's a prick and made it annoying bad at parts.

So, /sg/, what do you think?

It's supposedly a decent game but it doesn't look appealing enough to me to make up for the creator being a massive prick.

Haven't played it, but yea I've heard people SAY he's a dick, but I've yet to find anything he's said/done that makes me think he actually is a dick.

I've never really looked into it, but I remember him insulting PC gamers at some point. Something about PCs being for spreadsheets or something.

That seems pretty prick-like. I mean, all I'm getting from that is asshole/arrogant attitude.

He also said to a fan that was asking him about the game to shut the fuck up and go fuck a girl..

Well that's pretty dickish, I hadn't heard about that. You got a link for that? Closest I could find was:
This-> shortened version:
Q:
You met my friend when you were in Nottingham, England last year. You two were talking until you told him to stop talking to you and go fuck a girl. Do you remember that at all?
A:
absolutely not. but it sounds like something i'd say!

Sounds like someone accused him of saying it, and he denied it in his own oddball way.

Nowadays "eccentric" is more of a justification for people to do anything rather than a quirky, funny part of a persona.

Each to their own.

Outspoken narcissism, attention-seeking, trolling, and brash arrogance are (for me, anyway) all very robust qualifications for prickhood. Being a pleasant, likeable individual is an underrated quality.

I wouldn't consider myself a "retard", but I'd have no qualms about labelling Phil Fish a ballbag of the highest order.

Well, I wouldn't consider myself an "idiot" either, although regular forum users might disagree :D

That's all well, but the game shouldn't suffer, because Fez is quite brilliant.

Well "What happens if the game isn't a success?" "I'd kill myself" is enough for me. He's way too dramatic, too. Thank you Indie Game the Movie for both of those (The first thing I won on SG <3)

From the little I played, it was pretty cool. I don't have a problem with Phil Fish. I don't get offended at things easily, neither do I care about what someone says when they're dishing for hate. I just find it kinda funny.

Also, people seem to forget that Phil wasn't the only guy working on the game. It was developed by Renaud Bédard, who's actually a cool guy. So think of it this way, you'll be buying a good game, and supporting both a dude hated by people that need to stop getting offended over stuff on the net, and a dude who is pretty chill.

I knew Renglish (retarded english) wasn't the way to go.

What I ment to say:
It's bad because the developer is a horrible person and in my opinion does not deserve the money. There are lots of Indie developers that do, but this one doesn't.

That's the worst excuse to not buy something I've ever heard. "I don't like him so I don't think anyone should pay him, no matter how good his game is."

That excuse sounds legit to me.

Really? Because people do this with Activision, EA, Capcom all the time.

I think you are missing the train of thought here..

The free-roam exploring is interesting but its a bit slow.

You will need to go back and forth between levels and after a while the slow level switch "animation" and slow movement becomes tedious.

Its a decent game - nothing too special but not bad either.

It's a very special puzzle game. Don't read too much about it, just enjoy the experience.

I absolutely loved FEZ! Here's the thing, if you just play it for the platforming, you will be underwhelmed and I think that's where a lot of people are saying it sucks. To really 'get' the game you need to take it upon yourself to really dig deep into the game and hunt down the 'anticubes'. With those I found myself on the internet searching about how Judaism and geometry would fit together and with pen and paper at my side de-coding the games alphabet (which you do have to be attentive to find the cipher to). If difficult and obtuse puzzles aren't your thing, pass on it, but if you like to give your brain a really good problem solving workout, you need this game in your life.
And for the record, Phil Fish doesn't deserve all the shit he gets. He made a stellar game with every ounce of his passion and it shows. He's human and under the microscope, people will find shit to twist out of context to defame him with. Dude said suck my dick, so what, I bet his haters have posted shit far worse online. Something something glass houses.

Well one of the reason's people think he is a dick is that he voted against Team Meat at the IGF.

That is why Judas has a FEZ in BOI.

I bought it, but then realized that it was a terrible purchase because I'm absolutely terrible at puzzle games.

If you like puzzles, this is a great game, though.

I watched Indie Game: The Movie and I personally have a lot of respect for Phil.

i also knew the game and the developer by indie game movie and my feelings are confused about it, to say something.

It's really Awesome. I really had a ton of fun with it.

I dont understand how everybody doesn't like this game because of the developer. Sure he is probably a prick but who cares as long as the game ist good. I mean it doesn't make the game worse.
