Flower

[Sedako]

Came out today on PSN. The best $10 I've spent in a while. Probably not a game for everyone, though.

Basically a game for homosexuals.

Right down your alley!

 

[MJ12]

But really, what do you do in the game, I am confused. I am assuming it has something to do with musical notes or something?

 

[Sedako]

You are basically a gust of wind, and you travel around each level collecting flower petals, some of which alter the level in some way and allow you to advance. It's really not complex at all, but it's relaxing and very artistic.

Reminds me of this commercial

Not to derail the thread or anything, just figure it's worth posting again.

Bought that shit too. ****ing awesome.

 

[Shamrock]

This is one reason I wish I had a PS3. Looks to be awesome fun. I love indie games. They're sometimes the best fun.

 

[Darkside55]

Looks less like a "game" and more like "interactive tech demo."

Enjoy your scenery.

No, seriously.

No, seriously.

Say what you will of it, I'm quite enjoying the experience.

Enjoy that storm cloud perpetually looming over your head.

 

[Darkside55]

Hey man I said enjoy your scenery. And I even meant it.

 

[Sedako]

Hey man I said enjoy your scenery. And I even meant it.

I meant the storm cloud thing too, because I figured you'd enjoy a pet storm cloud. I know I would.

 

[Darkside55]

Don't you know? I am a storm cloud.

 

[Sedako]

No, you would be a cloud at dusk on a day with dry weather.

 

[Darkside55]

Is...is that good?

 

[Sedako]

I think it looks more ominous than a storm cloud:

 

[Darkside55]

Beautiful.

Now to terrorize the inhabitants of that little town, or whoever is making those lights.

This game makes me want to cry for all the right reasons.

I might look into it :|

 

[Fishlore]

I got it. I like it. It's simple, enjoyable and relaxing. Nice use of color and sound. The control feels precise enough and the game gives a nice feel of flying for a video game. I find it worth $10 and agree it probably isn't for everyone.

 

[Adabiviak]

...but where's your gun? Isn't that an Enya video?

I kid.

I'm aware of the fact that PS3 fanboys like to make every ps3 exclusive seem so OMG, but come on now. Yes this is a peaceful game, but can you even call it a game? It's more like a movable screen saver.

 

[Warped]

I just bought this today but I'll play it tonight. I can't wait to give it a whirl

 

[Combine Hybrid]

Have fun playing with screen saver.

 

[Darkedge34]

Have fun playing with screen saver.

Oh you.

 

[Shamrock]

This is why I hate exclusives.

I can't play what looks to be an extremely fun indie game because on Sony.

Everyone should just merge together and make a massive amount of enjoyment.

Which post is hyping this game to OMG!!!! levels? I don't see it. I see some people that tried it and enjoyed it, most of which said it wasn't for everyone. I forgot that people with PS3s aren't allowed to enjoy $10 games here.

Flower should be on every countries national curriculum Really beautiful, chilled game - it'll likely be one of the few from this generation i'll remember in generations to come.

It now sits along side Rez in a teeny tiny special genre of just two games.

 

[Deleted member 56031]

I haven't played rez but I will say this game is SO good

It's freakin brilliant and recommended for anyone who owns a ps3

 

[Warbie]

Play Rez goddamnit. It's just as much an experience and emotion driven game as Flower, but the chilled tranquility has been replaced with trance and orgasm.

looked it up, looks awesome. Is it somehow possible to get it on PC?

 

[Warbie]

Maybe, if you can emulate the DC or PS2 version? Do you have access to a 360? If so, Rez HD (what it says on the tin plus 5.1) is disgustingly good and pretty cheap. Why haven't they released this on the PC?!
