So... I just finished Gone Home.

I will only farm it for cards then. Regards™

I'm not racist, but that's a really nice profile picture. :)

I enjoyed it. 70 minutes of wandering around, sure, but nice atmosphere.

Nope. It doesn't.

So... finally you're at home and first thing u do is write a topic at SG? Shouldn't you eat something to restore strenght? Or have some sleep?

It's a cool game, I like Dear Esther more though.

It was an interesting experience. But I think most people expect something else when they play this "game".

I'm interested in playing it, even thought everybody seems to hate it

You're too young. Here's why age matters in Gone Home (by my favority blogger Shamus Young).

PS: I have yet to play it, not sure I'll like it, given my age bracket ;-)

I liked it. Not GOTY like "professional" reviewers scream it is, nor worth $20, but I thought the story and method of story-telling were nice. It kinda hit close to home (terrible choice of words there lol) with me, so maybe that's why I found it touching. I also went in knowing it was a walking simulator as opposed to a traditional game and treated it as such.

nah man

I beat it in 11 minutes first run through without having seen any gameplay of it prior. Of what I heard it was really pretentious and seemed to just cheaply cater to nostalgia.
And don't tell me I'm just not patient enough, or was expecting something else, I've played plenty of VNs and this shit was just badly written.

All it is is someone trying to make games "intelligent", and failing to actually make a "game" at all.

This is what happens when people make a pandering game trying to appear "deep and intellectual".

A lot of 90s nostalgia, a decade I grew up in. For me a trip down memory lane, had a few laughs as well.
The ending was ok, I didnt see it coming.
Its a short but nevertheless very nice game imo. Not in my top 25 of all time favourites but it aint bad.
Overpriced though

Awesome game. It's not for everyone though. A pre-adolescent kid wouldn't know how to appreciate a Fellini movie. The same happens with Gone Home

"It sucks." isn't a very elaborated opinion. It doesn't tell us why it sucks. On the other hand, it also doesn't tell us why we should like it.
Basically, your opinion, is not worth much right now. You could have elaborated a bit at least, as in, "It sucks because of the graphics" or something.

TL;DR, yet another spammy and useless thread.

I loved it, but I can see why someone younger could see it as a bad game.

Laughing at all the comments saying "You must be too young to not get this game". Just no, it wasn't a very good game. It just never had any real substance to it.

Gone Home is much as a game, as Ellen Page coming out during her speech on Human Rights Campaign Conference is a game

predictable, pretentious, boring.

Yeah, It was pretty bland. I spent one hour completing the game & 8 hours collecting every possible object that I could pick up & moving it to the bathtub in the parents bedroom. The amount of objects stacked in that bathtub caused my game to crash.

i guess it didnt have enough shooting in space

Thanks for the info. It'll change me life completely.
