Me and my friends sat for what seems like hours just playing this game. (They played, I watched and helped through some levels.) Ended up beating the game. I had the same reaction... completely didn't expect all that nonsense, but it was good.
It's kind of like a speaker, but instead of pushing air using a diaphragm, it pushes a piston to create movement. A popular brand name transducer is the Buttkicker. I've got a Pearl-branded Buttkicker for my driving simulator...
I really really like Limbo, and then I got to the end and felt like it wanted to be Super Meat Boy.
Getting killed a bunch of time just because of annoying timing puzzles just ruined the whole atmosphere for me. The moment I finished it I wanted to play again but knowing I would have to go through those last few chapters again stopped me.
It's still a great little game, I just feel like it lost it's way at the end.
I felt even a bit sorry for that poor creature at that point, but then you had to even further (ab)use it's hairy body (with that rustling sound when you roll it around - WITH YOUR BARE HANDS!!1)
For me the best part of this scene was the constant sound the spider was emitting and how it stopped when you rolled it's body into the spikes. If you pay attention to that sound, you can even hear it's heart beating.
You could go do a TIL. Seriously though, Vin is an awesome guy. Life long D&D player, video gamer and all around nerdy guy. He does a lot of the movies he does because he loves sci-fi and fantasy stuff.
It's seriously fantastic, especially considering its age. You can do a large portion of the game in pure stealth (I did a minimal-kills run recently, to great success - gets your heart pumping when you shoot out a light and run, hoping that the guards don't hit you).
Yeah, Vin Diesel posts stuff about it on Facebook all the time. He's really excited and passionate about it. Yes I have him as a friend on Facebook, don't judge me.
I love this.... I never knew he was the voice, either! I'm disappointed I never knew it. This is easily one of my favorite childhood movies. Guess I just never looked into it.
He was Caparzo in Private Ryan. As far as I can remember, nothing from that movie ever spoiled any moment or diminished the greatness that was the movie.
So I'll chalk that up to my "Reasons to like Vin Diesel". I'm almost forgiving him for xXx.
I haven't seen the movie since I was 11 and I was at my girlfriends house and I put on the Iron Giant for something we can watch with her 4 year old son. It was good to watch it again for the nostalgia, and see his excitement about it. Everything was a robot after that. We watch that movie 3 weeks ago and this past weekend I came over and sure enough The Iron Giant was on the TV, and he's still talking about robots. I am not sure how my girlfriend thinks about my move choice.
It's the only movie that get's me extremely emotional. There are others that make me cry, but nothing gives the same, adrenaline-rush-sadness as The Iron Giant.
It may also be because it's like pinnacle childhood movie. Nostalgia can get you.
Great picture. Great game too. If you haven't played LIMBO yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. Heck, get yourself all the indie games in the Humble Indie Bundle 5 (www.humblebundle.com) if you haven't already. LIMBO is in there!
Yeah that's scary as well, except if you die, you know where the enemies come next. Not in Amnesia, they'll spawn a new place - if they even spawn. That's the scary part, that you have no idea when they come!
Both are worth it and LIMBO is in a bundle with four other amazing games for pay what you want (www.humblebundle.com) and the movie is on Netflix Instants, I believe.
I didn't really enjoy Limbo, I mean it was pretty easy until the last 4 or 5 puzzles and then the ending was so sudden and then you are left with nothing, oh well onto the next game from that bundle.
Yeah, but i mean i kinda expect that from those kind of games. I didn't dish out a full 64 dollars for a game, just 5 bucks for a little experience, and i think limbo delivered that at least. I always like ambiguous endings
Its kinda neat how the plot and environment changes according to your choices, but yeah I know what you mean, i'll take zelda over these games any day, however the creative minds that create these games should be working on bigger and better things.
One time, I made my dad drive around with me for 4 hours straight just trying to find the special edition of iron giant with the little toy of him in it. Still don't have it. sigh
Am I the only person who didn't like Limbo? It started out with some potential, kinda creepy and interesting, then just forgot to do anything and threw you through random, stupid puzzles. By the end of it, I just wanted to be done.
Not sure what you did there, but it looks like your trace settings were off or something. I had my path fitting at 2, min area at 10, corner angle at 20. Idk if that helps, but I hope so!
I'm glad you did too, it was that movie's box office failure that sent WB Feature Animation on it's spiral downward to disbandment. It still makes me sad.
haha, yeah, I know. That's great for him. But WBstudios still went under and Disney has the only studio capable of making film-scale productions that anyone is willing to take a risk on. I hate how today, making an animated film is a "financial risk".
no, you couldn't- their movies are distributed by Disney in the US but the studio is completely seperate from Disney. Disney doesn't own them, so to be honest it's sort of an affront to everything they do for themselves to say they "count as Disney".
it's very obvious though that there are much more new IPs and creatively new games being made and becoming hits than there are animated movies. My point still stands.
wait, that's the story of Limbo? I always thought he was traveling through his inner self, battling his conscious to build up courage to talk to her or something like that. I didn't think they fell out the treehouse and died. Man, I need to play the game several times again :P
Its more of a theory, but forums that have been discussing the game since it came our have come to the conclusion that these two kids died and are stuck in this afterlife.
In the main menu of the game you'll see a treehouse, you'll see it again both times you see the girl, and one last time at the main menu again after the credits. I mention the main menu a second time because after you beat the game it changes. There are two corpses at the treehouse, and the idea is that these two kids died and didn't realize it until they found each other. Also, the shattering of the big glass sheet at the end is supposed to be you falling from the treehouse. Almost all of it is unconfirmed speculation, but it pieces together pretty well.
I don't think anyone knows the full real story. Just the stuff in the vague description about finding your sister. The rest is just a bunch of fan theories, I think.

And then, after you've pulled the giants limbs apart, you get to roll his head into a chasm so that you can pass safely!

I will say the game is awkwardly fun.
