Anyone tell me what this game is about?
Firewatch [OT] [PC/PS4] [Feb 9th, 2016]
- Thread starter Grand Conde
- Start date
Being alone in a Wyoming mountain park with just you and somebody you talk to on a walkie talkie. There is some mysterious stuff that then goes on. You have to figure out what that is. It can be beat in like 4 hours.
It's an exploration of being alone in a deserted wilderness.
Don't buy it for $20 though. It has a disappointing ending. It's worth $10 in my book. Great graphics and atmosphere. It runs flawlessly on PC, but apparently it's fukked up on the PS4 (bad optimization).

I liked the ending. Were people expecting a big government conspiracy or something?

it was anti-climatic. Game was a walking simulator.
Exactly. We didn't even get to
see the woman you talked to the whole game
Oxenfree was way better than this.

Oh so the game on the XBone is way better than the one that isn't? You don't say.

The game was about self enforced isolation and people running from their responsibilities and actions. This is exactly what she does
- she runs from her actions regarding the boy, and she runs from Henry, the only other person that is aware of what she has done. She says she is going to Canada to start again - more self enforced isolation in an effort to avoid what happened in the park with the kid. Henry similarly went to the park to hide from his responsibilities regarding his wife.
Basically the ending makes absolutely perfect sense thematically.

No shyt breh, you didn't notice that after watching the previews.
I played them both on PC dummy.Oh so the game on the XBone is way better than the one that isn't? You don't say.
I didn't even know this was not on Xbox.
Have you played oxenfree?
Got it the other night off PS4. I'm addicted to it. Beautiful and serene scenery, but yet I'm on edge because I don't know what the fukk is going on out there or who I can trust. The voice actors and dialogue are both great.
WHO KNOCKED ME THE fukk OUT AND WHY ARE THEY RECORDING MY CONVERSATIONS???

And this is the game people got defensive about when I simply asked if anything actually happened outside of walking around and hearing the story.

You asked that question in a bytchy, negative way - some people actually don't mind exploring games where the story is central.
You aren't one of those people, which is cool but I don't get why people shyt post in threads about games like these.

It was a 17 minute video of walking around with nothing actually happening. Other people said the video wasn't interesting but my comment was the one that bothered you. I play all kinds of games. I don't need it to be action heavy, but the video was boring and from what others are saying in this thread it sounds like the entire game was weak. You sound bitter that you were
about a game that turned out to be mediocre. You miss me with that condescending you have to appreciate the art of this game attitude. No need to be rude and upset over a simple question breh. Not everyone is going to like the games you like, and this is a forum. People are going to have opinions. I'm not even trying to be disrespectful. I just legit don't understand the animosity over something so petty.
