Fez - You Can Leave Your Hat On

[@crimsonharvest]

Finally, a game about not seeing whats right there. Perfect. PS the non-hexagon shape folding around and into itself is a hypercube or tesseract.

[@feidry]

AKA 4D cube.

[@spiritupgrades]

Aaron Flint there is a pes braid and super meat boy bundle on Steam and it comes with a movie about the game

[@ryandailey1496]

The "not a hexagon thing" is a rotating 4 dimensional cube projected into 3 dimensions.

I think you will find that it's projected into two dimensions. At least, my screen is flat.

No JON, it's not a 3 dimensional shape. It's a tesseract. That's 4 dimensional.

Okay... 12:00 So Quasimodo, the famous hunchback is getting a bit old and decides he might like to hire a helper for all the bell ringing at the cathedral. So he gets online, slaps a job offer on SEEK, checks out the Steam Sale and goes off to sleep. Next day there is a knock on the door. Down the stairs he goes, answers the door and there is this man standing there. "Quasimodo? I am here about the bell ringing job. When can I start?" And Quasimodo looks at this guy, and looks at this guy and bites his lip and eventually says, "Ummm... You... ummm... Look, don't take this the wrong way, but you haven't got any arms. How are you going to pull the bell cords to ring the bell?" "Don't worry about that, Quasimodo. Just get me up the tower and I will show you." So Quasimodo thinks, hey, the shops don't open for another hour, nothing else to do, and lets this guy in and up the stairs they go to the very top of the bell tower. They get there and the man says, "Stand back, watch and be amazed." So Quasimodo stands back and the man carefully paces out a distance, starts a run up at the bell and launches himself full into the side of the bell with an almighty headbutt. BONG!!!! This beautiful tone rings out and Quasimodo is amazed. This guy is amazing. Quasimodo is just about to rush over and hire the man when the bell, which has swung up in an arc, swings back, strikes the man and knocks him off the bell tower. "Merde!" says Quasimodo, because he is after all French, and he runs down the stairs to the street below. He gets there and there is quite a crowd. He pushes his way to the front and discovers there is nothing he can do, the poor man is complete strawberry jam all over the shop. As he stands there in shock he feels a gentle tug on his shirt sleeve. Tis the police. "Quasimodo? There is a dead man before us and by all accounts he seems to have fallen from the top of your bell tower. Do you know who this man is? Can you tell us his name?" And Quasimodo says... "No. But his face rings a bell." (cough...) (awkward silence) I'll get my coat.

[@mudcrab3420]

So anyway, the real problem is that Quasimodo still hasn't hired a new assistance bell ringer. So he leaves the ad up, helps clean up the mess and then goes off to bed. Next day there is a knock on the door. Quasimodo goes down the stairs, opens the door and looks out at the man standing before him. He is quite ordinary looking apart from a complete lack of arms and Quasimodo is about to comment when the man pushes past him and starts up the staircase. "Quasimodo? Sorry to be so forward but my dear departed sibling accidentally took a stumble off the bell tower yesters and as much as I hate to say this, me and the family need the money for the funeral. So I am going to climb the tower with you and we are going to ring some bells like they have never been rung before. Savy?" "Ummm... sure," says Quasimodo. "Ummm... lead the way." So the man does and they get to the top. The man does a quick lap, sizes up the bell and then steps back towards the edge. "Watch and learn, Matie" says the man and he launches himself at the bell in an awesome flying kick. BONG!!!! "Ta Da!!!" says the man. "Gosh!" says Quasimodo, but then before he can add "Look Out!" the massive bell swings back and knocks the man off the bell tower. "Merde" says Quasimodo, again, and trots down to street level. This time he doesn't even get to look before the police stops him. "Quasimodo? A man has fatally fallen from your bell tower. Do you know his name?" And Quasimodo says... "No.... But he is a dead ringer for his brother!"

[@DR3ADER1]

@@spiritupgrades In Supmatto's case, Matt violated the DTSA of 2016, because his Discord server was obtaining sensitive info in regards to the game. Matto also lied in his final video about PI's approaching his house. Funny how most KZbin users tend to lie by omission when things don't go their way and they can't break the law convincingly. Phil Fish is an example of a narcissistic, autistic individual who CAN'T handle criticism. Everything that has happened to him is HIS FAULT, no one else's. Don't defend him, Fez was a boring, bland shitfest of a game. Ironic that a movie tie-in game, Open Season(a game that Phillipe had a hand in developing) is more fun than his pet project.

Now THIS is a game I would love to see Jon play through. I mean, obviously not a 100% playthrough with Jon's Perception, but seeing him make it through would be fun. he only needs to find half the cubes/anticubes to beat the game. Jon, that 3x3 grid room you're supposed to put the blocks in place to form the shapes on each side simultaneously, and yes if you wanted to 100% the game you'd either need to learn the language/numbering system or resort to a guide. I really enjoyed this game overall, but some of the puzzles really suck..

@@spiritupgrades Phil Fish is not a particularly well-liked person in the eyes of the userbase of the Computer Games industry. He's the loser who threw a tantrum in July 2013 because someone called him a tosspot because of his inflated ego, insinuating to Game Informer that he was too good for interviews. Phil's tantrum was so large and comical that he cancelled Fez 2 over it. His behaviour in general including his elitism in Indie Game: The Movie (as well as his idiotic belief that the PC is "for spreadsheets" in his own words) was also a sticking point with players who didn't think he was hot shit. There's also allegations of nepotism in regards to an award he "won" years before Fez was even released as he was a little too cosy with the judging panel. Also, Fez is a rip-off of Crush. Which, unlike Fez, wasn't a buggy mess when it launched. Hell, the egos possessed by all of the developers featured in Indie Game: The Movie wasn't even half-joking or tongue-in-cheek, these clowns genuinely think that their own farts don't reek of methane and rotting kale.

New game. Control. It seems a little silly and ludicrous in its own way. It takes itself a bit too seriously, and more importantly, from minute one of game play you can vault ledges and superhero landing into the ground and cause cracks in the floor.💁 beyond that, I have no idea. Thought I'd leave this here for anyone (if not Jon) to see and recommend the game to. Worth a looksee. More so since it seems a little Deadly Premonition, I'm not sure but it seems like you're playing as the voice in the protagonists head. Oh and environments are partially destructible.
