Fez

Is Fez as good as everyone says it is? I would seriously love to play this game, but no way in hell am I buying a 360 for one game.

I've also read very mixed reports about the prospect of a port, what with Phil Fish (for justifiable reasons, perhaps) apparently being more than a bit of a tool.

It's a good game, but it doesn't reflect the time it took to develop it, and it's certainly no Braid or Castle Crashers.

I was actually put off the game after seeing Phil Fish in Indie Game: The Movie, the man seems like a bit of a sanctimonious prat.

It kind of reminds me of Bastion in how it's so praised but I don't get why, though it's much better than Bastion. The puzzles are fun for a while but it tended to feel a bit drawn out and the puzzles got less and less logical so I lost interest.

It's unquestionably well-made, though it was too complex for me. I gave up sometime in the summer after arseing about the one section for about an hour. I should go back to it.

The graphical style looks enchanting, though it does seem like one of those games I'd find a bit frustrating when it starts to take massive logical leaps.

I read it's a bit like Crush3D? But with a much larger emphasis on discovery and exploration.

Sounds great, Crush3D's straight emphasis on puzzles made my head hurt by the third world.

I just doss about on CRUSH3D until I find everything. Probably not the intended way to play it, but it does the job.

Sorry about resuscitating the shit out of this thread, but has anyone been following what's been going on with Phil Fish lately and Fez 2?

The man seems like such a huge, egomaniacal prat, and he's cancelled what could have been a great game because a small vocal minority on the Internet called him out for being a douche.

I've looked at it on and off. I always thought he was a bit of a tit so it didn't come as much of a surprise to me. He's dug his own grave on this one so if he can't hack it he shouldn't have dealt it.

Aye, I saw this too. What a fanny. I can't imagine Nintendo packing it in because a vocal minority think the Wii U is mince...and they've got much bigger problems than this loudmouth gimp. So have billions of other people. Put it into context and perspective, you complete warmer.

Fez is good, but there's no doubt that it's pretentious wankybollocks.

I was too lazy to pick this one up on 360 (And PC!), so I'm happy it's coming to Vita.

Very well shot, edited and intelligently thought-out deconstruction of Fez and the Phil Fish meltdown situation.

I'd be tempted to get it again on Vita. I love playing indie games on it and I didn't get enough out of it on 360. All on the price really.

I'll definitely be checking Fez out on Vita. Lord knows, I need a reason to play mine again.

I had a go on the Vita version of this at Eurogamer Expo, and boy did it look great in tiny-o-vision. But it was crippled with performance problems, the framerate often dropping to single digits, so I'm hoping that wasn't near final code that I went hands on with. Just wondering why Sony would bring it there when it was in such a state.
