Excellent job, polyphonic. Great roll out.

Happy to see Zelda as the top 'blockbuster'. One thing I like to talk about when it comes to LBW is how fun the mechanics are as a result of the 60fps, the bouncy animation, the quick and agile Link, which makes routine journeys w routine slaughter of enemies fun. And when it gets harder I found myself thinking of schumps with the tight and fast navigation of enemy projectiles on a 2d plane. 'Tight' just about sums it up.

Interesting list this year... thanks for coordinating everything poly.'Gone Home' sounds like the sort of thing I'd enjoy, I've never heard of it before now.

This is the list of a group that largely plays games on the bus or in a second window imo

reaally don't like Gone Home (after watching a friend play it), but enjoyed this roll-out for sure!

I am assuming that all of the games listed were developed by Wild Tangent ;) which means they... made six match-3 games in 2013. Gross.
Fantastic supporting material in particular for this rollout, thanks for going the extra 108921348 miles on this one!

i watched a Let's Play of Gone Home and was preeeeeeeetty intensely bored by the first hour of it.
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 11 March 2014 20:03 (ten years ago) link
I cannot imagine watching someone else play a game like that would actually be fun.
― Sam Malone, no relation (Will M.), Tuesday, 11 March 2014 20:05 (ten years ago) link
I haven't played Gone Home but surely a Let's Play goes completely against the point of it? Like, the game is entirely about exploration and slowly putting pieces together... I can't imagine watching someone else doing that is even vaguely interesting, but GH is a game I image I would love.
xp or, what Will said.

Gone Home seems to fail at all the things that video games are uniquely good at (telling a story through gameplay, letting you inhabit a character/world and feel involved, fun) and instead gives you a bad story made even worse by putting it in a game-like structure.

Gone Home just sounds boring. No qualms w the Marvel game at #1, that game is damn fun. Sometimes I am glad for the free-to-play mechanics because when I run out of revives and free health kits, I can just call it a day.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 11 March 2014 20:40 (ten years ago) link
I think I'm just irritated at Marvel because my gf has been addicted to another free-to-play match 3 game (Candy Crush....sigh.....) for months and i want her to either pay more attention to me or play a better game
