There isn't really a story, no. You can actually find logs like you would in Doom 3 or System Shock or any other game of that ilk that sort of hint at stuff that happened earlier about illegal experiments, but it doesn't have anything to do with you. I think that's kind of the point, like the game ...

Kind of a shame, since they were all arguing over whether or not Guilty Gear belonged on the shortlist, and they were arguing about it well into the voting, and it STILL won! But still, congrats on the runners-ups!

Holy crap, nice. Those computery, glitchy noises have always creeped me out, and they were used to such good effect in System Shock 2. There's a lot of ambient noises that are like computery-sounding beeping and grinding mixed with bits and pieces of indistinct voices.

Anyways, randomly came afoul ...

AironNeil - I really like the idea of a puzzle making you think critically about the story, but I'm drawing a blank thinking of one. Can you give an example?

I can think of one. It's not really a "puzzle", or not a difficult one, at least. The end of Portal 2. I'm assuming by now that everyone's ...

I'm more interested in seeing how they intend on telling any sort of story in the minecraft world. Maybe my hopes are up from the Lego Movie, but the prospect of taking something that inherently doesn't have a story and making a story out of it is really tricky. I mean, who's it going to even be ...

Good point.

I'm going off a lot of what I think I remember hearing, so correct me if I'm wrong, Matt, but I believe he's really seriously breaking down The Coming Storm and comparing it to the rest of the game. People tended to respond really well to The Coming Storm, and the design of that level ...

Is this not what the point of the Next Nightmare board is for?

I think it definitely deserves a sequel, although my definition of sequel is apparently a bit looser than everyone else's. Yes, the story probably shouldn't continue, but there are TONS of good sequels that maintain some of the gameplay ...

In their defense, as someone who's acted and who's dealt with actors (not voice actors, but the same thing applies), sometimes you have a really clear picture of how you want a performer to do something in your head, sometimes you don't. To put it simply, this part of the session went on until they ...

No, I didn't have any problems with the empty rooms either. Like I said, I read it in a review. It never crossed my mind while I was playing it, but it was a really interesting theory that made me look at the game in a new light.

Please don't make the next game a straight line.

Personally, I don't think a giant yellow number three appearing 'hidden' on his website is an announcement. It's more of a small teaser for those who find it.

Not denying it's going to happen, I just think people are tangling themselves about it way too soon when the only confirmation is a number ...
