Lose/Lose - The Game That Deletes Your Files

[Bassman_2]

Told me mum that unless she read this article I will get this game. If she didn't she wouldn't understand (I wouldn't actually do it), and my response was "You do that I'll kill YOU!"

laugh out loud

So I'm guessing that the guy who played that game and shot 99 aliens was careful to first put together his old PC or something... Does he at least win anything for being first on the leaderboard?

 

[Sixties Spidey]

I can't imagine what kind of a dumbass would put that in their PC. What if it deletes System Files?

A smartass who feels like screwing over his brother


Let it enfold you

O_O I'm the youngest in my family.

Wait... FUCK! *runs to protect his save files*

Grief...these non DOS users.

attrib +r *.* C:

Go ahead punk, make my drive.

My point exactly. I may not use DOS that much, but even I know how to do that.

 

[BonerMacTittyPants]

I'd like to see someone do a "Let's play" of it for youtube and then have the game delete the recording.

It's like the Reese's from hell.

"You got your pretentious artistic statement in my diabolical game design!"

"You got your diabolical game design in my pretentious artistic statement!"

Two horrible things that are horrible together.

I kind of get the odd feeling that this must be illegal. Right?

It's not as if the users aren't warned about it. You can't start suing people when they explicitly say "Hey guys, this will fuck up your computer, so you might want to steer clear of it."

Cool concept, but terrible execution. While it fits with the name "lose/lose", having a game punish you for succeeding is incredibly retarded. Of course, even if you made it so that losing an ally or something deleted a file, I doubt anyone that knows the truth about the game would still want to play it.

 

[Spudgun Man]

Well that is the sort of thing that people make just to experiment with the human mind's natural curiosity.

 

[Georgeman]

why would anyone play this?

Probably out of a twisted, morbid and dreaded sense of curiosity.

 

[UsefulPlayer 1]

Wow, that's pretty intense. Almost makes me want to play it....

I'll try it at school.

 

[HAZEANDHALO]

what if you dont hit anything? and suicide?

 

[KeyMaster45]

Alot of hate towards this game, I think its a wonderfully brilliant idea. Kudos to the fellows that made it and woe to anyone who's brave enough to play it.

 

[aww yea]

does anyone else have the urge to shoot some down and try and figure out whats missing?

i know ill regret it
but i reaallllyyy want to

 

[zidine100]

emmm, im just away to play this, wish me luck.

edit: i would if i could find out how to get it to start dang it, any help will be apreiated

 

[Izerous]

I do have a computer i need to format in the next couple days and rebuild. I think I might try for the high score on that one.

 

[Aedes]

Guys, gals, things. You're all missing the point.
The game is not really suppose to be played. ...Although you can. It's to think about the point the creator is trying to make:

"How important is your virtual data ?"

Using "The Escapist" forums as an example, do you feel proud for your high post count? The badges you have means anything to you?

...

But like the article said - when does it switch? When does data matter more than real life experiences? Maybe if its your first time into Sunwell and your guild is disbanding in 2 days and the expansion is coming out in a week, and it would probably be the only time you would ever get to see the place? I don't know, I don't have a tangible line for people to blur, but I do find it odd when people in school with me talk about how they're proud of their gamerscore, achievements, their 30k gold on Laughing Skull, but I guess some people feel odd when they find out I have close-to-world-record scores in Crazy Taxi and SSX Tricky...

But I don't go out of my way and think that those mean much, but maybe they do? Maybe in the future being a virtual snowboarder will be just as great as being a real one?

That is a great question. For the snowboard example, both have the skill to do amazing stunt jumps. But does that mean the real snowboarder is more skilled than the pro-player? Is living the risk more worthy than simulating it? I do not know.
I'm starting to see things from a new point of view and I'm not sure if I will like the conclusion I might achieve.
