It was announced, with a trailer, before the Brexit vote and just over a month after Trump was chosen as the Republican nominee for president. I find it hard to believe that this is a reaction to either of those events.

I'm taking the piss of course. It does say it in the video subtitle in that article though, BBC clickbait.

At 11pm in Switzerland this made me smile.

The telling thing about this 'game' is the lack of variety of the thumbnails on Twitch. There are approximately 6 different pictures across a screen's worth of players.

If it's not a game it would have made more sense as an Xbox One exclusive.

I've looked at spoilers for this game.

Really enjoying this.

Which is great but probably won’t stop people who haven’t offering their opinions

I can only assume Bob was being ironic.

In my opinion, Bob was not being ironic. Which is ironic.

Dunno... It looks quite absorbing, actually.

Might be another Edge GTA 3 moment...

So we're still making snarky 'game' jokes then?

I might remove a single ' if I see any evidence of a game today.

Admittedly, the early David Cage style 'pick up a crate with your right hand using the right trigger, use left trigger to pick up with your left hand. Use right and left bumper to keep your balance' doesn't seem to be used again in the rest of the game. So maybe the designer was taking the piss.

But then blew it by making something even more tedious than a Cage game - a crate delivering simulator that noone realised they needed.

The 'game does get "blown wide open" by providing a bike later so the crate delivering is a little quicker. Then there is a bossy type battle and then it's back to the crates.

Maybe there is a story somehwere but padding out cut-scenes with 2 hours of delivering crates in between is the not the way to go. It's like a mmog (whatever they are called) but with no content whatsoever. It's like an early alpha where the bare minimum is up and running. It's like ... awful.

Overall, it's not a non-game like Cage's so 'game it is.

Haha, parcel delivery x outdoor hiking as your core gameplay loop.
It's ballsy, I'll give Koj that.

Game's anti Trump/Brexit stance.
It could piss off a lot of people!

Steady on the SPOILERS DUDE!!

I know, I did consider that.

The mention of the bike was to give hope to those about to face palm against their controller at the sheer drudgery of the opening 2-3 hours.

MP? Where?
The world is completely barren from everything I've seen so far. I think I spotted a small bird earlier but wasn't sure.

EDIT: I initially thought the crates were to highlight the stupid inventory systems we have in a lot of games - the ability to carry everything at once. I thought that was quite funny. Then I realised it wasn't that at all.


Also, this game is a scientific study on the future of humanity. They voted for Trump, they voted for Brexit, will they pay for my 'game?
We're doomed.
