Let's play: The Static Speaks my name

[Midnight Sparkle]

I know this game is free and didn't have to download it. But I felt I had to check it out as it was free :D Anyways, here's my take on this.

Let me know what you guys think. I welcome all feedback. positive, negative, neutral....whatever.

Leave a comment, sub, rate, all that good stuff. I figured I'd try to get my feet wet.

Why don't people just play these games. I can sort of understand watching full priced paid games, but this is free.

It's like the games don't matter. It's just Youtubers going "LOOK AT ME TALK ABOUT THIS GAME, LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT MEEEEEE I'M SPECIAL".

No thanks.

Not as extreme as a feeling towards youtubers (or streamers whatever) as you but I don't see why TC couldn't just review the game or post thoughts here.

It's a 10 minute game, a couple paragraphs at most (unless you're pretentious and think literal notes laying about = depth/hard to follow) and call it a day!

It's free and it runs on a potato strapped to a toaster so anyone interested could check it out free of a 3rd party chiming in with their insights. Oh and this type of game would be ruined with that experience. The isolation and lack of voice help the narrative/sensation of crushing loneliness.

Best of luck to you TC w your YTing or Streaming or Twitching or whatever its called. I stream occasionally but don't use voice and it's more so a vehicle for

1) people to get a feeling for the game from a player. (I do this on XB1 and it has helped me buy or not buy games when I see ppl broadcasting via the xb store)

2) if a friend is at work, gives them something to watch and pester me with "damn you suck" "git gud" and "ahhaha yes! you DIED!" type comments :P

3) I am stoned or drunk and wonder if anyone will catch on. Mostly they just leave, a few have questioned if I'm mentally disabled though!

Don't like it, don't watch it. There are people who want to see this, few they may be.

A very thought out comment. Thanks, man.

You're welcome & Thank you as well :)

Reading it back,the lack of knowing what to call it (dawned on me you called it "Lets Play!" so I now know) may have come off condescending, but I meant it as I honestly don't know because outside of Steam and Steam forums I don't really internet much.

Mind if I add you?

Maybe I was a bit harsh in my post, but I'm just not a fan of "Let's play" videos. For expensive games with no demos the can be a god send, but for smaller games like this they can kill the sales.

I remember getting To the Moon and loving it, so I got my daughter to play it. Even though she ended up in tears she still says it's the best gaming experience she's had. Now when she asked all her friends about it, they all loved it. Only not one of them had bought it or played it. They'd all just watched some one else play it on Youtube.

They all said "Why would we buy it when we've watched it already". For small story driven games (or any short game) it's almost like giving the game away for free.

So that's my gripe millions of people watched To the Moon and couldn't care less about buying it. That's just wrong.

Those are what we call "not gamers" Because any self respecting gamer will want to expirience the game for themselves. They would want to control the characters themselves. Explore, see the sites, smell the carneverous plants hiding in pipes.....you get it. I never watch lets plays either. I either get the game in one way or another, or download the demo if it has one, or....well, you get it. I'm sorry if I sounded harsh to you as well. No harm done.

If that's what you think, you're O.K in my book no harm done. Just out of interest your original Youtube link won't work. I feel like having a pity watch now.
