You know there is something wrong when he says it's one of the best games he's ever played. Sounds like he is either getting paid or getting perks to market it. This is why I use my own judgement and no one else's when buying a game. To me, this is just a puzzle game, which are my least favorite. I also break down other variablies, such as the price per hour based on how many hours I think I will play. My best games have broken down to about a nickle an hour or less, because I play them so many hours. But this game, although only 3 bucks, probably only has 6 hours worth of puzzly "play" with no replay value. That to me is a bad deal.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it since a statement like that is so incredibly subjective.

truth hurts

but seriously console for this game only way

Or just plug a gamepad into your computer. I really wouldn't call it a lazy port, the fundamental mechanics were built around two sticks which unfortunately does leave something to be desired if playing on a keyboard. That said, there isn't really any way around the issue that ive seen proposed that wouldn't require rebuilding the game.

If you think this is a "bad" port, you know nothing tonkinese snow.

What bugs are you talking about?

Bugs like the ones you're describing are pretty much never the result of a bad port. Those are issues that are fundamental to the game and will occur on any platform. Porting issues usually result in things like crashes and graphical errors. The fact is, a console is pretty much a low end incredibly limited PC with child locks. Nothing more.

Unless the port is somehow horrible (which is very rare these days), almost all games will play better on a real PC than they will on a console. It's not the 90's or early 2000's anymore where many ports were truly broken on the PC. These days, it's extremely rare that a console port is actually better on a console. Even lazy last minute ports like Dark Souls 1 are still a lot better on the PC (even if they aren't as good as they should be) and now that the Xbone/PS4 have architecture that is almost identical to PC's, this trend will only continue - if not improve even more.

I simply can't agree with Totalbiscuit on this one. Yes, it's a fantastic game and everything he says about the game using the controls to make you feel what the characters go through and how it uses methods unique to videogames to convey its story are 100% true.

If he had said it's a phenomenal game I would have agreed with him.
If he had said it was his 2013 GOTY I would have understood completely.
But saying it's "The best game I have ever played in 25 years"? Nonsense.

He admits that it was a decision based on emotion. He states in no uncertain terms that the thing that elevated Brothers for him was that "No other game had made me feel this way". The game yanked at his heart strings and he swallowed it hook, line and sinker and started singing its praises from the rooftops. Furthermore, I'm shocked (and a bit sorry for the guy) that in 25 years of gaming he has never played a game with a strong emotional gut punch. I certainly can't see that being due to lack of games with emotional stories.

I fully extend his recommendation to play Brothers, but it's not the end all-be all game.

I had no bugs at all
