That's what he says, but not what he does. https://youtu.be/KZokQov_aH0 https://youtu.be/KZokQov_aH0 Haven't experienced a bigger author disconnect in gaming in the decade.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y agoI'm not going to watch a 40 minute video to try and work out what your argument is. You could have at least picked out some particular puzzles like the backwards-moving-cloud puzzle piece in Braid or the Eclipse Film puzzle in The Witness. Those are tiny optional side-puzzles to games which otherwise very much do not waste your time. My interpretation is they are Jon's way of critiquing completionism.

- dirkc 6y agoWow, that platform moving does seem painfully slow!
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y agoAlright, I'll concede that some platforms do seem to move needlessly slowly.
- mdoms 6y agoNo one is going to watch a 40 minute video with no context, dude.
- giantDinosaur 6y agoIt's certainly wasted in a narrative sense (yeah - that real ending is really sucky.), but the puzzles & environment can be fairly pleasing. It's not a total waste, basically. But yes, that review you posted was fairly accurate.
