I hate when games do that. Because you spend an assload of time trying to do something that you later find was impossible.

Which also happens to be bad game design IMO.

I still want to play the game, though

Be less anal and just enjoy it.

Unless you're way overthinking it it should only take like 3 hours to get 32 cubes. And if you honestly think that would be a terrible waste of 3 hours than whatever, but I think even that part was very fun, just not challenging.

Fez is pretty good from what I played.

[James]

My expectations were as low as they could get. Only thing I knew about the game before playing it is that the developer got a sore ass because Minefucker 360 made more money than he did.

I'm just not into it. Eh.

This is why I roll my eyes at certain levels of idiocy. You decide somebody said something without actually listening to what it was they said. Blowing off someone for something they said or did is fine, but pretending they did based on second-hand bullshit is retarded.

Just to clarify- he didn't get a sore ass because Minecraft made more money. He asked notch how he got hold of his sales figures so early. They exchanged a few comments on Microsoft's policies. That was the whole of it. Zero ass-soreness from any corner.

Nobody says you need to like Fez, or the developer. The platforming is only ok and all jumping puzzles can be solved by turning the level until a solution is obvious, plus the map is pretty bad.

Hmm... Still think I'm not getting my point home. How about this- the level of disconnect between what happened and what you think happened is Fox News level of misinformation.

[Josh]

I don't care.

[Razor Ramon]

That was a lot of gum-flapping for something no one will care about.

[Mzo]

you then acquire the first person view sunglasses.

That was just a deal with it reference, you don't get them and wear them around.

But yeah if you can't figure something out at all, move on. There are enough easy puzzles to get you the standard, nonsensical ending.

All you do after is solve more puzzles, I don't see how the game changes or really starts at that point or whatever.

[Yoshi]

James knows because Rachel Maddow told him.

[dave is ok]

It's probably exactly what he thinks happened. Actually, here you go - EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED:

@notch - Well then. Saw the official sales numbers for the first 24 hours of Minecraft Xbox 360, and it's very, very good. Profitable in an hour.

@polytron - how did you get those stats from MS? we still dont know exactly how much fez sold almost a month later. you get stats in 24 hours?

That last couple sentences "we still dont know exactly how much fez sold almost a month later. you get stats in 24 hours?" makes him a douche. I'm sorry. I know you like him - but he's a douche.

ALSO, it turns out the numbers Notch was excited about were just taken from some fan that looked at the total number of people on the leaderboard, not even from MS. So double douche.
