Quote:
he Graveyard is a very short computer game. You play an old lady who visits a graveyard. You walk around, sit on a bench and listen to a song. It's more like an explorable painting than an actual game. An experiment with poetry and storytelling but without words.

Buying the full version of The Graveyard adds only one feature, the possibility of death. The full version of the game is exactly the same as the trial, except, every time you play she may die.


Designed by Auriea Harvey and Michael Samyn. Animations by Laura Raines Smith. Music by Gerry De Mol. Sound effects by Kris Force.

which part of the graveyard insulted your intellect ?

the guys who made it didn't pretend to make something very intellectual or anything fancy. they made an interactive experience, which is quite moody and melancholic. i like it.
but i like sitting on park (or graveyard) bench. some people can enjoy this sort of thing, just as others enjoy walking through a forest. it's the same thing.

get over yourself, man. not everything that doesn't suit your taste is crap. and the fact that you don't get any vibes from certain things doesn't prove anything about said things.

And why are you allowed to post your opinion about the game and he's not?

i wouldn't mind if it was just a fun walk in a park - an atmospheric game about nothing would be a change
i wouldn't mind if it was artsyfartsy - i love bizzare shit
but elevating it like this is just pissing in our face
especially as it wasn't artsy or atmospheric enough to be anything but useless waste of space and time

if it's enjoyable in some way, sure. why not?

but you might wanna avoid using too fancy words while talking about it unless you want people to think that you're a pretentious dick and dislike your game based on that.

ivan, i think you misunderstood my post. my pretentious dick comment, if that's what pissed you off, was a joke referring to how the guys from tale of tales described the graveyard and how that seems to harm an otherwise simple and enjoyable game.
see what happened with braid and jonathan blow. lots of people seem to hate him after reading interviews with the guy and i'm sure that impression carries over to braid.
