JoeyMallone: Yeah... "usual"... typically it's the best way to turn me off from a game/movie/whatever. Never really been a fan of that style.
Other random ways to turn me off : "Tough as nails", "pixel art", "Devolver" :-p
It just seems strange how they went for a lesser art style after the praise they got for Huniepop. I think some of the same characters are in the new game, but I am not too sure.
omega64: You could say that. Played it through once and it won't get a second. It will forever be a mystery.
You really didn't miss much.
FearfulSymmetry: *thank you hug* Yep, it was pretty decent. A nice distraction. :)
Glad to hear it. *big hug*
ElTerprise: Agreed. I also liked the slight cartoony artstyle in Firewatch :)
To be honest i don't really care about all that stuff going around those games - but it is a bit overrated mostly because it's too light on actual gameplay imho.... i mean Firewatch is not heavy on gameplay either but there is still more to it and it's also slightly less linear due to its dialogue system then Gone Home.
Depends on how clear it was mentioned in game. I found some stuff that highly suggested that...especially in the basement.
I don't really care about it either, I just mean that I don't like people who use that as a shield against honest and valid criticism about their games. The suggested stuff is probably it. I never really saw what it added to the story.
