Penny Arcade - PATV - First 15 – The Talos Principle
Penny Arcade - PATV - First 15 – The Talos Principle
Gabe and Tycho play a game for 15 minutes and then judge it accordingly. This week they play The Talos Principle. You can watch the full length version of this episode here.
Freaking love this game. The curve is sooooo smooth between puzzles, introducing new quirks etc. I was waiting for them to get to the end of 15 and realize that they'd only gotten a taste.
It's kind of like the perfect game for the two of them. Physical puzzles, platforming and sweet graphics for Mike. Great meta story, mind bending puzzles and interaction with the MLA for Jerry.
"Time's up?! NOOO!" is a pretty good verdict for First 15 I'm kind of amazed Mike got so into the command line business at the end, I would've thought he'd check the fuck out at that point given how he's reacted to anything else text-based.
I think it's because I played so much Talos, this video was hard for me to watch. Not because they didn't know how to play it, that is normal. But my brain expected one thing, and Mike moved almost totally opposite of that at all times. Sprinting constantly, turning when I wouldn't, and stopping as little as possible to look around. It made me motion sick, and Talos really isn't a game to do that. Really nice to see they both liked it, it was my favorite game of 2015.
This game is absolute 500% good. I was super excited to see Jerry's reaction to the text stuff, but I too was really surprised that Mike was hot for it. =]
