Can I get THE WITNESS (oh can I get a Witness)

There is an island. On this island are puzzles, puzzles put here by a crazy man who peed in a goddamn jug while spending 5 years making this freaking game.

Jonathan Blow's follow up to Braid is finally coming out tomorrow (on Steam and PS4) and no one knows a fucking thing about it.

Except for the fact that there is an island. And on this island are puzzles.


Come my friends, let us witness these mysteries together.

    As long as some of the puzzles aren't trying too hard to be clever like "sit on a cloud for two hours" then I'm interested.

    If you're curious the GB quick look actually shows the very core basics of how the puzzles in the game work.

    I've been goofing on this game for quite a while cause I really did not comprehend what it even was

    And then I watched the Quick Look and the second before Jeff Gerstmann said it I said aloud "oh, maze puzzles! i DO like mazes!"

    there's a point in the quick look towards the end where Jeff sees something and just goes "fuuuuuuuuuuuck" and that was my exact reaction to what he was just realizing and goddamn it made me so excited to play this.

    Usually PSN updates by like 2pm PST but sometimes it updates earlier and sometimes later because reasons.

    Okay yeah I'm getting this tomorrow

    Got a few things I can trade in for $40 of PSN bucks

    After reading Brad's review, if it's anything at all similar to Fez in the regards that the community might be figuring out things together, I kinda don't want to miss the zeitgeist

    It unlocks at 5 am tomorrow morning my time.

    That gives me a good 2-3 hours of Witnessing in before I have to go to work.

    Got up early and dicked around with it a bit

    Near the beginning there's a door locked with a very complicated puzzle that you're obviously supposed to come back to later and the completionist in me won't let me leave it be

    Intro area basically lets you know "Do not barrel through this game. . ."
    There is an "audio log" I guess on top of a roof. You can only get to it if you jump off the beaten path outside the first area. It also reminded me there was a puzzle with a SECOND output that I probably should switch on.

    Also the game is gorgeous as hell. Like a weird construction paper world, using the brightest paper stock.

    Are you talking about the white door?
    Progressing even a little further will quickly teach you what you need to know to solve that door.

    I wish Jonathan Blow wasn't such an asshole.

    He makes really good games that I buy and play and I don't really want to give him money.

    There are a couple back there; the greens were easy to figure out. Definitely need at least the first blue to figure the other out. Unless you are just stone cold lucky.

    Is he actually an asshole or does he just have the reputation for being one because internet?

    This game looks great! I don't have 40 bucks to drop on it, but it is so pretty

  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
    The way I see it, I've pissed in a bottle and I didn't make Braid or The Witness

    I'm not sure why it's such a big deal that he did

    Not a lot of people will publicize it to the entire world though.

    It was actually pretty hilarious watching the reaction to the jug by other game devs. I think he got exactly the reaction he expected or wanted from that tweet.

    So turns out Gamestop is doing an extra 50% on all trade-ins for the rest of the month

    I brought in like 4 games and got 130 bucks

    Buy it on humble store and give it all to charity? Or you could just tell yourself you're supporting the rest of the team that made the game

    Why is Jonathan Blow an asshole? I have missed this.

    He doesn't like some things and likes other things and peed in a bottle.
    He deserves no money!

    No I don't.

    Peeing in that bottle led to Navarro twitter magic so I'm pretty on board with it

    Oh man I just found this out when I went there
