Poll: 5 days a stranger discussion

[dday4you]

5 days a stranger is a game that yahtzee develope. there were also many sequels. i think that its still on his website somewhere, remember looking at the youtube videos in broad daylight and totally freaked at night. the story is unforgettable, characters are well developed, themes were brought out well and the horror still gives me chills when i think of it sometimes.

You mean 5 days? Because 6DAS is the fourth game.

And yes, I've played them all. Twice. Even 7DAS

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Seriously? Another thread? Slow the hell down.


And no, I've never heard if it and I'm not too bothered about changing that.

 

[Lukeje]

Of course I've played it; some people here were fans of Yahtzee before he started making Zero Punctuation videos you know.

oh yeah! thanks for the reminder!

I was amazed to find out that the guy behind those games was responsible for Zero Punctuation. I'm very fond of those games (ZP, not so much). I thought they had interesting stories (even better than the Jason films from which he borrowed), and characters, and I liked that he even tried out a text-command game.

To anyone that hasn't played them, they can be found here:

I've only played Trilby: The Art of Theft, and honestly, I wasn't too impressed.

Also, the discussion value, there is none.

Trilby is fun but not amazing, the whole XDAS series is fantastic though. You've got the Old School gameplay with much more tolerable puzzles, great atmosphere and a really intriguing, thoughtful storyline.

Where's the lack of discussion value there?

I have enjoyed the games of the Chzo Mythos, finding them well written for a Lovecraftian inspired tale. 5DAS had it's moments of chills, a feeling that worsened into Trilby's Notes and 6DAS.

Can't say I really enjoyed 7DAS though. It's serviceable, but never really appealed to me.

There's no discussion value in the OP. Why are we here? To discuss the games and the themes they contain? To discuss the use of atmosphere and how it adds or detracts from each game and the series as a whole? To merely become enlightened to their existence? The last option I gave is this thread, and there's no discussion value inherent in that.

Do you seriously need guiding that much? The question was, have you played the game. Therefore you answer and elaborate.

His games bore me, really. Not my cup of tea.

i found that, too. only played one so i may like one of the others but not fussed enough to try them.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

Played the whole Chzo Mythos and loved it! Shame they were so short games, but hey, it's not like Yahtzee had a whole studio at his command.

 

[The Night Shade]

I played all of them more than once and with the especial editions my favorite is 7DAS

 

[Trivun]

Let's put it this way. I enjoyed them so much that, being part of a university film-making group, I'd love to perhaps turn the games into a set of short films, if Yahtzee would grant permission (copyright and all that ).

I was introduced to this site by a friend who was something of a Yahtzee fanboy. He almost never comes here now, I believe, save for ZP (I think, I certainly never see him on the forums at all), but though I stayed to become a figure in the community and to enjoy the rest of the content, I was turned onto quite a few things on Fully Ramblomatic. Particularly the 'Yahtzee Takes On The World' webcomic series (a surprisingly good and well-written and funny series), and of course, the Chzo Mythos. Those games single-handedly got me back into the whole area of point-and-click adventure games and fuelled my purchase of the amazingly good The Longest Journey. They opened me up to a whole new world of gaming that I'd all but given up on after my previously owned games kept crashing (namely Riven) or were crap (i.e. the PS1 demo version I had of Broken Sword - which now I consider the game to be a must-play on my list of games to play in the near future).

Long story short, I played the Chzo Mythos, and I loved them.

No, I don't, but the question asked in a poll or the thread title should be substituted for actually trying to facilitate a discussion in a topic. That's the job of the first post. And besides, simple binary questions like "Have you played it?" do not facilitate discussion either.
