Looks good. Page turn.  I meant Rive.

Look at us commenting on Rive way back in January.  Muzzy could've fathered another child in the time it took him to saunter onto the hypetrain.

Ha, I couldn't even type video in the post above without creating more empty videos.

I'm aware that this page is all me so far, but I've finished Virginia.  It does certain things very well, so well that I expect we'll see some of its tricks implemented in future walk 'em ups.  The sudden cuts to spool progression make perfect sense.  I'm not particularly well versed in the genre, but it's the first time I've seen this done and I doubt it'll be the last.  The heavy-handed Lynchisms work fine as games still have loads more leeway with that sort of thing than film.  The bar performance scene was probably the stand out moment for me, although I'd have groaned my way through it in the cinema.  In terms of gameplay it was about as on rails as a game like this can be, there are no puzzles, and progression is made deliberately obvious by the shape of the reticle - if a point and click hadn't already been taken as a genre it'd fit.  Walk and click?  The score deserves a special mention, I'm glad I played the whole thing with headphones, and although the complete lack of dialogue threw me at first it was a bold move that worked. 

Overall, I didn't love it, but I did enjoy it and found myself constantly thinking about the possibilities of game narrative were a walking sim to come along that was on point with everything.  That's probably overly hash on this one, as it was doing plenty of things well enough to make me ponder the 'what if's' in the first place.  Having now played Firewatch, Gone Home and Virginia, it's fair to say this type of game is rapidly becoming my favourite modern genre, to the point where I probably have unrealistically high hopes for it.  It was all over in 90mins, but £7.19 felt about right.  [7]

Pretty much thought the same although there must be a bit more too it cos i missed loads of trophies

I thought I heard snatches of
in the excellent sound track.

No idea what it was all about though.

Thought I'd have a play through it this morning, and it's telling me 11 hours to download. Yikes.

I'm halfway through it and enjoying it a lot.

Reminds me of the first time I got invaded in Dark Souls 2 - was by a player named something like PussiWrekka. He was not successful in wrekking my pussi.

Oh good lord, I feel so bad for laughing as hard as I just did.

There should be some sort of system for complaining about awful names like that.

Get on it Sony. Sort out these cunts.

Maybe he just misspelt Oy Vey?

Maybe they use it for therapy in detention centres?

Anyone know if I can pull the Netflix icon out of the tv section and put it in the main section?

We reckon Necrodancer gonna appear on PS4+ at any point? Or has it already? I wants.

Oh, I have done previously.

Want it on the PS4 as well and am loath to pay twice when I shouldn't be 'wasting money on games with a baby on the way jesus christ tiger what's wrong with you?' as the Lady says.

Note to self: Don't treat Tiger Jr's. life like I'm playing Shiren.
