To The Moon - The Best Game No One Will Play

[StinkyPinky]

Sounds like most of the players here only care about graphics or shooting and not setting or story. Sad

Yeah because unless we are share your tastes we must be graphics whores.

My fav genre is role playing games...but this game just doesn't look interesting to me.

I couldn't make it past the opening of the 2nd trailer. The game looks interesting but the guy narrating it, just couldn't take his voice anymore.

 

[ericlp]

Played it...

I give it 4 stars out of 10...

My take is, you watched more of it than you play it. It's almost like reading a book but VERY slowly. You want to skip the boring parts but you can't. The puzzles are cheesy...

Spoiler

It's a puzzle that you gotta remove all the blocks to uncover it. It's the same puzzle ...

you gotta find items though out the game and solve the puzzle that's not hard to do to advance to the next level.

There is not much of a challenge tho, I guess it could be a good kids game ... When I was done with it I was kinda disappointing

Spoiler

that he didn't even make it to the moon.

I thought the plot was good and bad all at the same time.

To be honest I don't know how it got such great reviews. I wouldn't play it again. Maybe some gamers would like this but I did not.

WTF.. use some spoiler tags man.

Why don't you story whores read a book?
It'd have to be one hell of a story to overcome it's graphical shortcomings anyway.
These things seem like kids games to be played on a handheld device, but quickly abandoned once the person exits puberty.

Someone doesn't appreciate the SNES days.

Someone doesn't appreciate the SNES days.

When I get exposed to huge improvements, I gravitate towards them and leave the inferior stuff behind, for example, I no longer buy a DVD if it also exists on Bluray no matter how cheap the DVD is, as it's inferior.

Anyone care to give a spoilerized account of the story? I played the 1 hour free trial last night, interested to find out what happens.

 

[maniacalpha1-1]

This game is on Green Man...looked good, came here and voila there was a thread. Thinking of getting it but I hate getting non-steam games.

Don't, it will just ruin it. Trust me.

The game is great. A great story that couldn't be conveyed as well in a novel at all.

For those of you upset by the graphics, I pity you. How sad it must be to only be able to play such a tiny percentage of all the great games that exist today.

Marked. I've been meaning to pick up this game but keep forgetting about it.

Looks rather mediocre

*goes back to playing Civ V*

Completely different genres/styles for different tastes. I can enjoy this and Civ V. Now what?

 

[Anomaly1964]

Seems way to edgy for such lame graphics...

Yesss, finally.

*goes back to playing Civ V*

Trying to remember when Civ V was anything close to being as good as mediocre.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

Looks pretty sweet. Hope it pops up in an indie bundle lol

 

[JTsyo]

Yesss, finally.

still gotta to wait for the sale.

Your beard seems too edgy for your FACE.

I think I might actually support the developer and *gasp* buy it at full price.

The example doesn't fit with your explanation which just sounds immature. There's no reason at all not to still enjoy previous generation games just because the newest shiny thing is out. You enjoy the game because of what it is, not because of its technical sophistication.

i am among the few fortunate to have played it int he 1st week after the release as a recommendation of a dear friend. most enjoyable recent computer playing days!
