So I finally played The Stanley Parable, a game the entire gaming community has been praising to high heaven for years as an amazing masterpiece and pinnacle of indie creativity.
And... I don't get it. At all.
It sucks! It's like a boring, derivative, neutered knock off of Portal! Literally the only good thing was the smooth voice of the narrator, but he might as well have been reading a grocery list.
I thought maybe I just got a crappy playthrough, so I tried again and again, making different choices and getting different ending, but they all were unsatisfying. What gives? Why have gamers decided they love it so much? I'm baffled.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
