Can't wait to cook an untitled goose dinner tomorrow

TS: honk Vs. balloon

this is fun. i'm at the golden bell part which is more stressful than the rest of the game so far.

overcome your stress by remembering that you are a horrible goose

I got through the high street part, it was hilariously fun, but I'm trying to draw out the fun by only playing every couple of days. would o/w be like mainlining a milkshake.

I want to live in a village like this

i want to live like a horrible goose in a village like this

my wife is embarrassed watching me play this, which only adds to the glee

It’s good, agreed on the need to pace.

Yeah I had a day off

good tweet

it does seem very british but house house is an australian company so maybe it's australia?

someone on twitter suggested bonus DLC where you disrupt the great british bake-off

Australia is too suburban for this vibe. I bet they're just fans of British comedy, that is a common type down here.

There is so much horrible joy in being a horrible goose.

When I play this, for all its simplicity I think of all the potential. You can migrate! You can be hunted! You can descend upon a golf course and shit all over the place! In fact, for the sequel they should give the goose a dedicated shit button.

if only you could talk to the monsters

Hahaaaaaaaa!

Oh, here's a thing I read recently:

If you could have the goose cross over into any cinematic or game universe, what would it be and why?
It would be nice to see the goose chase Postman Pat over a hedgerow. That era of British children’s television has been a huge influence on the game.

glasses boy is my spirit animal and I feel very bad for tormenting him repeatedly and laughing hysterically for hours

It took me a while to find the "wrong" glasses for him so he was down on the ground feeling around for like 15 minutes and I felt bad

fostering a Bad Relationship between the artist and the tea-drinking newspaper reader was delightful. you bring them down to your level.

yes, it was fun seeing & exploiting their different approaches to neighbourly pettiness

I had thought it would be more open world and just go about your day being horrible in whatever ways you can think of (a la Goat Simulator) but it probably works best as it is tbh

would have liked a "hiss" button though, for that amusing lisping hiss geese do, or Greylag geese anyway: thhhh...

I was kayaking down the Chicago River with my kid the other day, and when get back to the dock it's covered with geese (and goose poop), and this one alpha goose just turns to us as we approach and hisses, like a total asshole.

I really REALLY hope that if/when they make a sequel they call it Titled Goose Game just to really fuck with people

also pls do not fuck with real-life geese if you can help it, one of em almost killed one of my college instructors

Untitled Geese Game, imo

only if they add competitive multiplayer

finished the main game. haven't checked out the bonus stuff yet. i want to replay though because i feel like i got through some levels (particularly the golden bell) via brute force (i.e. just running away) instead of stealth/intelligence.

the flapping wings button doesn't come into play at all really right?

I mean, if you press the button, you open your wings, making you appear larger and more intimidating.

It's there to make you feel more like a goose.

It is at least part of the little dance you have to do for the pub people I think

Yes the dance rules

wish this was on PS4 so I could play the goose game :(

Actually, in our timeline, a goose chased Thatcher out of office, spurring a Bennite revolution and the irreparable decline of the Tory party. The villagers are Marxists.

fuck i’ve been honking at comrades this entire time?!

*SAD HONK*

"But first, I had to figure out what kind of goose I was. There aren’t a lot of large all-white geese with pink bills. I figured it was either the North American Snow Goose or the domesticated form of the Greylag Goose. The shape of the animal and its particular association with humans made it clear I would be piloting the latter."

But first I had to figure out whether this game set in England starred an American goose or an English goose.

I think among the best aspects of this game are the fact that there is no time limit and that there are no real repercussions. You can just take your sweet goose time.

Can't get the groundskeeper to show up. Grabbed the radio, which turned on, walked around a bit ... turned the sprinkler on ... I know I'm bad at video games but I've never been stymied this early on in a game.

Not that I've ever even seen the guy. Maybe I need to do something to make him show up?

weird. he should be there.
rake in the lake time!

i enjoyed playing the main game but i have very little impulse to go back to do the additional content, especially because it doesn't open up any new areas. i've gone back into the game a few times just to mess around though.

in addition to the memeability i think it also shows a widespread desire for more games that are simple and have you doing something outside of the standard game goals/mechanics/however you want to define it. i think beyond the meme stuff, the goal being to wreak havok and frustrate normal people was also different enough to be a big hook. if it was the same goose and same art design but you had to hop on a bunch of platforms or push boxes around to solve a puzzle it wouldn't be as appealing.

It's a better toy than it is a game (*).

If you go in thinking "right what are my OBJECTIVES, how do I ACHIEVE them" then it's slight, and pretty clunky, and probably disappointing, yep.

If you go in (or even better send a kid in) thinking "I'm a naughty goose! I'm scaring the boy! I'm stealing the sandwich! I'm breaking the fence! Honk!" then it's great.

(*) Which is probably true for a lot of videogames these days really. See also 90% of everything that's been released for PSVR, for example. Or, you know, Minecraft.

otm x2

i played like fifteen minutes of it and it was nice enough but it's much more fun as a meme. it got baconed more or less on contact tho'.

desire for more games that are simple and have you doing something outside of the standard game goals/mechanics/however you want to define it.

and yes, this too. as much fun as it is to check in on the incremental improvements in version 34414 of a dozen different franchises, there's something to be said about something that is relatively unique and fresh (even while UGG's mechanics have many antecedents)

The mechanics partly remind me of ancient ZX Spectrum classic "Skool Daze" and yeah I would like more games like that, or better still more Walking Sim + Shenanigans games

Got this for PS4 and it's the first game I can play with my wife since, idk, Inside? We had a good ol' time setting up the goose picnic although it took us like an hour, lol.

Just checking in on this thread as I finally got it and finished it and... what's up with people knocking this as a game? I thought it was pitched really well, just tough enough to keep it interesting but simple enough that I never got too frustrated. I could have done a couple more levels but I think for the price there was a reasonable amount, and being short it kept up the fun of being an impish goose all the way through.

Agree 100%, I had a great ol time

I played only the first couple levels of this but then roasted a goose for Christmas dinner and then had a very terrifying nightmare afterward about the last few levels of this

Q: When? Where? How much?
The two-player update will be available for free to all owners of Untitled Goose Game on September 23rd, on all platforms.

Q: Can we play through the whole game with two players?
Yes! You can play the game from start to finish as two geese. Your saved progress can be played with either one or two geese, so if you’ve started a game in single player, you can get a friend to join in and help you out (and vice versa, if you and your friend do such a bad job cooperating that you have a falling out and you need to go back to single player).

Q: Can I play with a friend online?
This update is local-multiplayer-only, which traditionally means that you’ll need to be in the same room as someone to be a goose with them. On some platforms, you may be able to play over the internet using streaming. For example, Steam’s Remote Play Together, or PlayStation 4’s Share Play. We’ve tried this ourselves and can confirm it works quite well!

Q: Are there other updates with new areas coming soon?
We don’t have any plans to do this at the moment. We consider the world of the goose game to be “complete”, and to us, adding new sections would feel like stapling on bits to something that’s already a whole. We’re very proud of the game as it exists, and for this update we wanted to put all our effort into making that game enjoyable for two players.

Q: Can one goose drag the other goose around in a box?
Of course.

Of course.

So will, say, the farmer chase one goose and not the other? I assume both geese have to be onscreen at the same time.

no reason to assume that, there are local co-op games (ie Divinity: Original Sin) that can go split screen when the players far off away from each other, and then shift back to full screen when both players are close to each other.

Great, I never finished the last stage (using the method where I'm controlling the goose and my wife is yelling at the goose for doing the wrong thing), now I will make her also be the goose.

i also have some work to do (spoilers: i haven't even started the bonus checklists you get after beating the game), so i'm hoping my partner will help me out
