You'd be surprised at how much content there actually is within the game. It's rather hilarious finding all there is to find. Then turning into a whale.idarkphoenixi said:I'm just not jumping on this whole Goat Simulator wagon. It's a dumb joke, which I understand is the entire point of the game but it's a dumb joke that you're paying for.
If it were free, or a ridiculously low price then maybe, but there are plenty of better games that actually function properly for the same or a cheaper price. It seems like the kind of game that's entertaining for maybe 10 minutes or so, until you realise that the brokenness of it all actually prevents extended play, rather than being a hilarious marketing point.
So what's the problem?Official Goat Simulator Website said:Goat Simulator is a small, broken and stupid game. I t was made in a couple of weeks so don?t expect a game in the size and scope of GTA with goats. In fact, you?re better off not expecting anything at all actually. To be completely honest, it would be best if you?d spend your $10 on a hula hoop, a pile of bricks, or maybe a real-life goat.
Gotta agree with you. I have a hard time explaining my love for this game, but it is there most certainly. Besides how fun is it to FINALLY see something different. I know there are lots of interesting games out there, but this one is just odd enough to tickle me, and then grab me.geldonyetich said:Such criticism in the comments.
Goat Simulator is a $10 game that lets you do all sorts of loony things with an immortal goat with dodgy physics on a fairly tiny map. The developers not only admit this, they overstate it:

There's being discriminating with your money, and then there's just hating fun.
I know what you mean; I can't put the appeal of the game into words. I just know that from the first time I even heard about it I've wanted it. Then that sexy trailer came out and I knew that whatever it was about this game that I liked, the devs were clearly on board with that feeling.carpathic said:-snip-
On number 10, I don't think that the biggest problem with Steam right now is the lack of quality control, but instead is the lack of publisher control. Coffee Stain, the developers of Goat Simulator, actually have a good track record on steam. They've developed all three Sanctum titles on steam, all of which have received very positive feedback, so its no wonder that they could publish something as horrible as this on steam. But, when you have a company that dumps a backlog of titles onto steam just because they got access to it, then there is some rather sneaky bullshit going on.WarpZone said:This actually had a surprisingly high amount of overlap with my list of 10 things to do in Goat Simulator:
1. Clip through the geometry
2. Fall out of the world
3. Get stuck
4. Fail a mission for reasons that weren't your fault
5. Rage quit Goat Simulator
6. Google the developer.
7. Realize the developer just doesn't care.
8. Uninstall Goat Simulator
9. Ask for your money back

Well people, when the description of the game is telling you that you probably would be better off not buying this game. Going to have to say that the guy I be quoting be right.geldonyetich said:Official Goat Simulator Website said:Goat Simulator is a small, broken and stupid game.

I believe it was Totalbiscuit that came up with a good idea to remedy this situation: Vote positive or negative on games and should the games get enough negative reviews then the publisher blacklisted, restricting their ability to upload stuff to steam and/or get stuff on the front page and in recommendations.
i think its one of those joke games/toybox games, like surgeon simulator or garry's mod, you are supposed to find your own funMrBaskerville said:This would have been so much more fun if they had made an actual honest Goat Simulator, that just turned out to be horribly broken like Big Rigs. I don´t find much amusement in this game, seems very repetetive and the jokes are pretty cringeworthy (might just be me, whenever people rave about how funny a game is, i most often find it cringeworthy for some reason).
