I swear that screenshot doesn't look like anything I've seen done in this game yet. My friend and I must be doing it wrong.

$14 is a little too steep for me, especially for an indie online game.

Everything I've read and seen about this game only leaves me more confused.

Anthony's Dr. Who story did NOT help to clear anything up.

It's amazing stuff. It's like nothing ever before. Granted, it takes a bit of fortitude to be a controller, but it's so satisfying to look back over your flipbooks. It's really exciting.

www.sidtube.com has tons of flipbooks posted, some of which may blow your mind. It also has tons of resources and a nifty matchmaking service. Definitely worth a look-see even if you don't plan on buying the game.

goddamned

Thanks Anthony for sticking with this game. I've been playing it recently and find it to be like nothing else I've ever played.

Anthony, will you still be writing for Destructoid?

(haven't had a chance to listen to the new Podtoid, yet, so...)

Can we get Jim to write a second opinion on this one?

bad graphics, i can buy better games with 14 dollars

I just bought Trine for 5 dollars, asking 15 for basically online Paint is a little too much for me, even 5 dollars seems a little steep to me.

What Naim said.

I have a feeling I would buy this, get frustrated, and never play it again.

If I had anyone at all to play this with, i would be all over it. Instead, I'll continue on with my sad and lonely existence, with that money still safe and sound in my paypal account.

I will buy it as soon as I get my credit card. Although it would've been awesome if this game supported different languages, I doubt I could create a compelling story in english. And even if I could, the fact that it'll be in english limits the amount of friends I can play with.
On an unrelated note:
You're leaving Dtoid, does that mean no more rants?
In parallel universe other Anthony never left Destructoid, he's now 38 years old and he's an agressive muslim gamer. He's not happy with you leaving.

Confirmed, this game is win.

I had my first playthrough recently and you guys really don't know what you're missing...it's a friggin' blast. I'm going to be playing this for a long long LONG time, and guess what? EVERY GOD DAMNED GAME I PLAY WILL BE DIFFERENT. Get that through your skulls. Trust me, it's worth it.

If you have absolutely no creativity, imagination, or even a smidge of delayed improvisation, I understand, but jesus christ, BUY THIS GAME.

Below is my first playthrough as a Player. Yes, you can easily share your stories with friends with SidTube.

A fantastic game, thank you for previewing it Anthony. Without you I would've never even started peaking into the indie scene.

Awww.. Who's going to be Destructoid's indie curmudgeon now that Rev is leaving? Anthony, you has turned me onto games I probably would not have given a second glance otherwise. Hope to see one more rant before you ride off into the sunset.

Wait, Anthony's leaving? That's a pretty big blow to Destructoid :\

I think you taking games a little too seriously (not a criticism) was a good balance to Jim not being serious about anything ever.

I'm getting it.


......one day.

What? Where do you get the info that Anthony is leaving?

Not my type of game. Right now I'm having too much fun with beat hazard. :D

Wow kireblade, that was... special.

But I am gonna take your advice and try to get my friends to try this game with me.

woot

@Enzi
Either listen to podtoid 147 or read the post in the forum.

Hahahaha, that was the funniest man kills god story since Preacher. Thanks for that Anthony

That "And they shall call him god" thing you linked to was horrilbe and did not change my mind at all.

Nothing compels me to buy this game and $14 is quite a bit to toss out the window. Indie or not there are many other Indie games I would rather buy than this, I don't get why so many people want this.

@kireblade

Oh I have creativity and imagination and I even scrolled through your link you provided and ya know what? Me neither I fell asleep after the 5th slide.

This right here explains the game MUCH better than anything I have seen thus far. It's actually interesting but not for me.

Also, my friend and I are totally getting this game. I can't fucking wait

I can't wait to play this game, just need a buy reminder. Thanks !

What Pudge said.

bought it and can't connet. fuck you rohrer

@anyone saying 14 dollars is too much

Really? Fucking SERIOUSLY? I feel sorry for you guys

HOLY FUCK! That's my story you linked to, no fucking joke! I did it online with a guy called Sharp and it was so much fun. Let me just say I'm fucking honored to see the fame that the story has gotten. Also, buy this game. It rocks.

The story Anthony Burch linked to that is.

I wonder if Burch was in the irc when we were talking about it, dangerman. Has it been linked to elsewhere?

Not really but I also got an email from Rohrer himself saying he nearly peed himself in laughter so it seems to be quite popular. Are you Sharp DrManik? Who are you? Were you going by DrManik in the irc?

Somehow, I missed all of the other posts on this. Had I seen it sooner, I would've pre-orderd for 9 bucks -- just so I could play a round after work with some co-workers in two separate rooms.

@anyone saying 14 dollars is too much

Really? Fucking SERIOUSLY? I feel sorry for you guys

If you're the sort of person who thinks it is too much to pay for a game like this, then you are also the sort of person who is most likely not going to enjoy it.

I can pass up a round of beer for this game. On second thoughts, I'll get the beers anyway.

I received enough clarification through other podcasts to reach a majority decision of NO.

Nice try Anthony. I can only stand playing D&D by myself for so long.

... but if you bought me it, and I enjoyed it? Maybe I'd reimburse ya. Because if we've learned anything from Jim Sterling, it's that you are for buying games for your friends. And dtoid is a community. It's like family some might say, and you always put family above "friends" like Jim Sterling.

That story was epic.

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SAY 15$ IS TOO MUCH http://www.gamedrinkcode.com/blog/2010/01/26/how-to-afford-an-indie-game/

too expensive + no justification for it being expensive = NO

Um - I don't really understand the "$14 = EXPENSIVE!!! $$$" mentality, especially when you get as many download codes to give to your friends as you like. (You can also just give people the file.) I mean, c'mon. (If a new Mario Paint came out for Wii - if it even had the balls to be a similar product with a 2-player component - chances are it'd be $50 and nobody would bitch about that.)

If you're going to bitch about anything, bitch about ROMs of NES and C64 games being $5 each on the Wii. (In contrast, fuckin' Deus Ex is $2.50 right now on Steam.) At least in this case you're supporting an independent developer and a potentially mind-expanding experience (your mileage may vary - I find it deeply thought-provoking). Did I mention it's fun and unique?

So basically, if you aren't bitching about things that are way more expensive than this should be, you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

$14 isn't a lot of cash, I never said it was but I think what myself and a few others are getting at is dumping $14 on someting just to "see" if it's good is not ideal. I merlely stated that there were other games that I would rather spend the money on and I spend ass loads of my $$ on games.

This game seems like an interactive chat session which does not interest me really but I do see the potential there and where people get off on it being amazing.

It also amazes me how when a game comes out (anygame) and a few people don't like it, or the idea of playing it (me, playing it) they get their panties in a knot.

It's an interesting concept, I never said it wasn't it's just not my cup of tea :)

No I'm DrManik in the IRC
