Kuribo's Shoe

Tell me why you are mad at fez orikae

Or are you gonna make me wait for your Official Website Opinion

Aneurhythmia

I am likely not going to buy this, since I'm buying other things. Tell me why you are mad at this game, Orik.

Moriveth

Why would you make a thread about a game you hate?

there aren't really any puzzles in the game except for QR codes and reaaaally simple cryptography

Thetheroo

I haven't got this yet, because I don't currently own a 360. However, from the Giant Bomb Quick Look I can already tell this game will drive me mad from its myriad secrets and riddles. I will be unable to puzzle them out and this game will be the death of me.

Vann Diras

this game is awesome

orik smells

buy fez

Fez is a really good song by Steely Dan. I thought maybe this was a Steely Dan thread. Deep down, I knew better.

Hey now, I've been listening to Steely Dan since I was a kid.

Dys

Apparently I'm bad at

"reaaaally simple cryptography"

because I can't figure out

the information from the chalkboard in the ruined city.

Dys

Oh wait, I may have just found a really helpful clue for that.

edit: nope!

Orikaeshigitae

think in terms of how a two-dimensional being would theorize dimensions

Dys

...this is just going to hit me and I am going to be frustrated with myself, aren't I?

#pipe

I don't even have any idea what you are all talking about.

if I try to google fez I just get a bunch of felt hats with tassles

DontShootToasters

the only cryptography I figured out was

how directions and buttons correspond to certain tetris pieces

is there more to it?

Cilla Black

Yeah sorry

"really simple cryptography" is in fact "really obtuse" to me because I haven't picked up on any of this stuff at all

I solved one of the puzzles pretty easy but all these rooms with like chalkboards and stuff are a total mystery to me

happy that it's simple for you though! (not sarcasm)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fez_(video_game)

A platformer that released on xbox live arcade recently.

E: By recently apparently it was today, or yesterday I'm not sure whose date they're using. I thought it was out a month ago but maybe I was just watching trailers.

Cilla Black

Also (puzzle spoilers I guess?)

QR codes? really? I'm not going to be able to solve some puzzles thanks to my lack of a smartphone? That is super shitty.

Artreus

Pipe, googling "Fez video game" brings up a whole bunch of non-hat results

Moriveth

Yeah I'm probably an idiot because the early parts of this game had me stumped.

Janson

Interested to watch Mori play this, as I am quite a logic puzzle fiend.

Cilla Black

I'm kind of pissed about puzzle thing in my other spoiler and it kind of makes me not want to play this game. What bullshit, if that's the case.

Speaking as someone who has a smartphone, yeah, that is mad stupid if that's the case.

I mean I guess you could just look up the answers, but that's dumb and you shouldn't have to do that

Cilla Black

I'll probably end up looking bunches at an FAQ anyway because all this symbol stuff is beyond me. Mostly because I have difficulty remembering symbols that aren't directly in front of me, especially when they all kind of look the same.

Thanks Gary Seinfield

Dys

Okay, Fez.

Hiding a cube in

an achievement

was pretty classy.

Dys

Okay, went ahead and finished the game without getting all the collectables.

This game has the best ending...

But the big part of the New Game + intro had me crying with laughter.

i did program an enigma machine simulator when i was a kid though, so that is admittedly probably biased

also it requires a bit of notetaking

Bedlam

Orik how can you be mad at this face?



How could you hate something like this?



Only a monster does not like fezes, because fezes are cool

this is my thought

Butler

I've got like ten cubes and two nega-cubes and no idea where the fuck I am or how to get back.

Vann Diras

You do have a map

Alternatively, keep going through new doors and you'll most likely find a way

Butler

I do? Oh right, the back button. I always forget about that button. Durr.

I figured out their numbering system and that got me an artefact. Damned if I can figure out their alphabet though. I hope there's some kind of Rosetta room somewhere to get me rolling.

Vann Diras

on one hand i can see what orik is saying

this game doesn't really have puzzles, not in the video game sense. this game isn't braid, or even really zelda. there aren't "video game" puzzles

but i'm fine with that because if it had those i would have done everything by now

instead i'm sitting here stumped off my ass

Vann Diras

like

i finally started opening those doors after getting like 18 cubes

standing the classroom behind the 8 door right now

yep no clue how to unlock the secret for this room!

Janson

I actually really enjoyed watching this game; it is rather calming.

Vann Diras

janson play knytt

knytt is nothing but calm and peaceful exploration

very similar to fez in that you're exploring this huge environment that has a certain mystery to it that just makes you more and more curious. also similarly, it has a great soundtrack

it is also free to download on da peecee, so everyone play knytt, thanks

Vann Diras

also i am really bad at fez

Platy

Not everyone can successfully rock a fez.

Marshmallow

If you like Knytt and also like video game-y puzzles then An Untitled Story is also adorable, atmospheric, and free.
