  • Dear supergiantgames:

    I have played many games in my life, but this game is by far the best game i have ever played . The story is beyond amazing, the narration is very hunting , the soundtrack is stunning .what you did is ART in the medium of video games .i wish you the best of luck all the way from Jordan . Looking forward for Bastion Origins :)- (i want to know the actual story of the people who lead to the Calamity , so much unanswered questions )..again thank you.

  • This is simply the best game I've ever played. Thank you supergiant! you made my day if not week or month!

  • how much does it cost? 1200msp?

  • This game makes me remeber of Torchlight.

  • finally, a game that's FUN and isn't just a big money-grubbing "look at my hd graphics" fest.

  • yaay bastion is on VGA!!!

  • Exceptionally powerful game in all aspects, Supergiant deserves the money and time they put into this masterpiece.

  • arayvenn sent me

  • Before the kid realized, he had gotten the access the copy for a game.

  • i hope this come to ps3...its a pretty game! ^^

  • This was my personal favorite game of 2011.

  • i beat the game, did evac amazing ending, def best arcade game i ever bought

  • Great story, awesome music, overall lovely graphics. I would much rather have this game become game of the year than Skyrim.

  • I want his voice

  • is a awesome game

    

  • Top game of the year, get it if you haven't already.

  • "Can we work it out? Can we be a family?

    I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything

    Can we work it out? Can we be a family?

    I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave"

    Guess what... :D

  • @CodeguruX I'm just going to dismiss you as a troll, because my brain can't process anyone as stupid as you.

  • @CodeguruX

    I hope you are trolling

    otherwise I'd be obliged to put you out of you'r misery 

  • @CodeguruX cell shaded can be awesome. XIII was fantastic, and automaticaly dismissing it because "its cell shaded!" makes you a douche.

  • I used to think Skyrim was the best game of 2011, until i took a breakers bow arrow to the knee... :)

  • I still remember the first previews I red about this game, barely thinking "it looks interesting".

    Then the good reviews started popping and I became more interested.

    Still, I decided to pirate it first for PC, and after playing it for a while, decided to actually buy it from XBLA.

    Best 2011 buy I did

  • The old man's voice sends chills down my spine. It really does make this game shine.

  • smosh brought me here

  • Most people who play this game say it's easy.

    I find it really challenging at times.

    How do people find this game easy?!!!

    Maybe i'm just bad at video games in general :(

    Aside from that, its a good game, beautiful visuals, nice soundtrack and storytelling.

  • I finished this game twice! It was amazing. But still, it's not a game you want a sequel to, it's already amazing.

  • I simply CANNOT believe that this is an indie game. It has the absolute BEST story I have experienced in a video game EVER. The soundtrack along with the narration is absolutely pure genius, these people deserve every award a video game can ever receive for this brilliant work of art.

  • @Rage487 Does it count as an indie game though? I mean I heard that it received financing from Warner Bros, either way best game I played all year.

  • @theorangebox999 considering about 5-6 people developed the game instead of a gigantic corporation of hundreds of people...yea it's an indie game.

  • Whats the name of the song that plays for the first twenty seconds in the video? I got the games soundtrack as part of the Steam sale, and I can't find that one.

  • @PterrifyingPterodact The whole thing sounds like a beta version of "Setting Sail, Coming Home"

  • I finished the game. And I'll conclude that it's one of the best game Evahhhh (evahh. evahh.. evahh...) I hope there would be Bastion Two! I would rush and buy it, totally worth playing.

  • @nxhero39 no just no a sequel would spoil it. bastion ended perfectly and i wouldn't have it any other way

  • The gameplay isn't the most innovative or original, don't get me wrong the gameplay is fun, but where this game really excels is the story and story telling. the narrator really does a fantastic job at telling this amazing story. the soundtrack and atmosphere really immerses you in the universe and makes you want to keep playing to uncover the mystery of the calamity. I definitely put this in my top 5 games of 2011 

  • @chikawowow123 Actually it's quite original in every aspect hence why it has won so many awards.

  • all the maps of this game were hand painted

  • only game i wanted to clap for when the credits started

  • Oh. My. God.

    Best game ever???! I loved the story too much. Too much.

  • Bought this on Steam on sale for 5 dollars.

    Best 5 dollars I ever spent. What a great game,

  • can anyone give me tips on this game, i normally play on ps3 but recently got loads of games on steam and im really shit with keyboard and mouse.

    and also can anyone recommend some good games on steam sale today ?

  • This game is super awesome.

  • Tiene buena pinta.

  • Totalbiscuit's number one of 2011.

  • Worth every penny.

  • IGN : 9/10. Thats faken sad... thats all i had to say

  • BASTION IS FREE ON GOOGLE CHROME WEB STORE

  • @XxPr0guyxX THANK YOU!!

  • @XxPr0guyxX it's not free, only the demo

  • Who have Bastion game, and wont Bastion: Original Soundtrack for free, write, what you wont it and you steam nickname, I will add you and send it. I simply won it, but don't need.

  • @gena198314 I sent you a message if you were serious..

  • @gena198314

    do i need a steam account to get it?

  • Epic narrator voice is Epic...

  • абдуленная игра

  • I wish they would make a Droid tablet version.

  • TBH this game actually is one of the best games ever made!

    while playing, this game reminds me of Prince Of Persia 4 :)

  • its hard to belive that this game is good ;s

  • @MrFazerlogin

    Best storyline-driven RPG I've played in many years.

    All you need to know. If you like Action Adventure RPGs and good stories, buy this game. It's really fucking good.

  • @Sveinkiboy99 i know better but it realy is great rpg/adventure

  • Having beat the game 7 times, this is my first time watching the trailer. Why does it still send chills up my spine?

  • So glad the score got recognised for the VGA's!

  • I'm thinking about getting this game but I'm not sure if I should get the PC or 360 version. Is there any differences between the PC or 360 version?

  • @Geno746 The PC version is better. The only thing worse is that the directional controls are a little off, but you could just plug in a 360 pad. Also, the new Stranger's Dream DLC is free on PC but Microsoft makes you pay for it on the 360.

  • Crazy. I saw it on sale and picked it up when I prepurchased Sonic Generations thinking it was going to be a merely OK indie game that will help kill some time before Generations unlocked. You can only imagine my reaction when I played it, this is easily the best game I played all year and I don't say that lightly. Deus Ex 3, Witcher 2, etc. they don't even touch this. It's also the first game I played in a decade where did three back to back playthroughs.

  • I pirate games because i can't afford them... not becouse i don't want to pay....

  • I bought this from Steam :3

  • SPOILER ALERT, DONT READ THE COMMENTS IF YOU HAVENT FINISHED THE GAME.

    ALL CAPS RAGE RAWWWRRRRR

  • @MrMikelIceta thanks mate

  • Thumbs up to get the spoiler comment out of the top comments!

  • Steam sale bitches

  • Thumb up if you watch this cuz of the steam sale

  • @pagiberend PFF.... I dont buy pc games. I get them for free.

  • @Mastodon704 I'm going to avoid insults, but I really felt that there was a lot of work put into this game for you to not give any money to Supergiant for it. Maybe just make a small donation or buy the soundtrack?

  • mind, blown.

    This trailer is a work of art as the game itself

  • @Taichimaster01

    You only took 30 minutes? As soon as I got there I stopped kept the xbox on and tried to go to sleep but I couldn't so I just turned it off.

  • @Taichimaster01 Dude, spoilers.

  • Cool!

  • @Taichimaster01 I pulled him up and evacuated. I know its just a game but if that was the world, If the calamity happend all because of prejudice and hate. Then to have the bastion nearly destroyed only to have everyone finally learn the lesson "we could have all lived together if we tried". Trying to reverse that learning, to destroy that gem of humanity. It's not worth losing everything we have, just so things could go back and we might even make the same mistakes again the second time.

  • This honestly looks stupid... How do people think that THIS is better than Minecraft.

  • @ItsTheChief117 LOL your seriously defending minecraft haha

  • Comment removed

  • @ItsTheChief117

    Really bro? Really?

  • I have a playstation 3. I want this game :(. Microsoft's bullying policy of "exclusivity or we wont publish your game" is harsh and unfair. Xbox gamers may get the games first, but they often lose out due to the publisher releasing bonus features on the game when they finally do publish on other formats. Kind of like a "Sorry Microsoft are arseholes for making you wait" gesture.

  • @rrwryan get a pc then

  • I dig my hole you build the wall.

  • rpg again ??

  • EVERYONE!!! if you are watching this to see if its a good game or not, trust me, its the best indie looking game on stream (my opinion) and you would never get bored of it.

    the gameplay is awesome

    the story is awesome

    the controls are awesome

    and best of all, the music is awesome

    thx for reading :)

  • @EKinDAhouse

    This game is made even more epic with the Steam edition.

  • Why was I never informed of this AWESOME looking game?

  • 外国人は日本のゲームを古臭いとかアニメばかりと言うくせに自分­達が作るアニメ風ゲームは評価するのか?これは一種のナショナリ­ズムだな・・・気持ち悪い。

  • i love piracy, for many reasons, if i could afford to buy a game, i would but it,but i cant, and even if i had them i would prefer to give 50 euros to a homeless guy than to a game company with tons of millions of dollars, sorry but thats theft in another way! spread the piracy!!!

  • @DocSt0rmy ahah u are full of bullshit

  • @solmyr2 hahaha no1 asked you :D

  • I bought this game a while ago it was on my list of to play games.

    I played it today man, what a game. Its brilliant in so many ways. Buy it!

  • I've been playing games my entire life, but Bastion has been a completely unique experience to me. It's simply amazing, no other word for it. Beautiful, creative and charming. I loved every second of it and the ending was awesome!

    Keep that heartfelt creativity alive, Supergiant, and I'll keep buying your games. Well done.

  • Found some gameplay if you wanna see /watch?v=hTWWCQ3Yktg&feature=f­eedu

  • holy shit to think this game was made with only 7 people, i would never think that if i haven't read it

  • So how bout them video games!?

  • Just bought it after the demo!

  • I just finished my first playthrough. The game is awesome, the storyline is amazing, the songs, the gameplay...

    One of the best games i've ever played.

  • i watched Yahtzee do a review on this and he had nothing bad to say about this, so it must be AWESOMELY good since he had nothing negative to say! lol XD

  • Sounds good, I will see if I get this today.

  • @ignorantpom Ever play Mount & Blade? End of story.

    This game is pretty good for a casual game.

  • @Dopefish1990

    Yup. Mount & Blade is indeed awful.

  • just awesome game. well worth the money, more so than many other games i've bought. I'm enjoying this very much and i will complete every achievement for sure.

    hopefully you guys make bastion 2. would be nice to have more levels, buildings, upgrades and weapons!

  • Best money ive spend on a game and one of the best OSTs ever!

  • This game is currently 50% in steam.

  • sounds like it would be worth getting just for the narration

  • Oh god. The hipsters are out.

  • I tried to play the demo for this, but it wouldn't run on my computer at all. Considering my computer can run Starcraft 2, specs aren't the issue here.

  • 15 fps general

  • bastion 2 should be a full game not xbla

  • looks like 29 windbags were here

  • This game was mind blowing. I rarely play games of this genre, but it was totally worth 15 bucks. Gonna replay the shit out of it

  • Does anyone know which track this trailer's music is? it isn't wharf to wilds...

  • Seriously, one of the best History Telling ever. It's amazing how good is the story of this game, so simple and yet so amazing.

  • So simple and so interesting. One of the best games I ever played. :)

  • Fantastic voice acting!

  • Bastion =

    Badass

    Awsome

    Soundtrack

    sTory

    addIting

    Original

    uNique

  • If anyone was considering buying this DO IT. Its so amazing itll blow your mind =)

  • I hate the narrator. Do I have to listen to this guy in the actual game?

  • @BeBoBli r u crazy?? trust me you'll just love him while you play..his voice is so damn awesome and epic!

  • @sokopanop

    I don't think I'm crazy. I just have an unpopular opinion, but I will give the game a shot either way if I ever escape poverty.

  • i dont get it ... is it a strategy game ?? if it is .. is it worth buying it..cuz i do like strategy games a lot

  • @MrArif1971 It's not a strategy game. It's an action adventure game with an amazing story It's definitely worth it. One of the sexiest narrations you will ever hear.

  • this game is sooo good

  • Name of the NARRATOR PLZZZZZZZZZZ

  • been playing this game for 3 or 2 days

    so awesome guys, go buy it !

  • Best narrator since Ron Pearlman.

    You speak faster in the trailer though :o

  • please do an expension!

  • Do not tear-up again... damn :´)

  • Wasn't a fan of indie games, never had much respect for them, saw Bastion out with a whole lot of recommendation, rewards and stuffs. Thought: "Dang, that's a bit too much praise for a half-ass looking game." Tried the demo, interested in it, bought it. Now, good bye pirating, hello supporting. Bastion 2, definitely gonna buy it first day it launches.

  • @CrazyAndy1413 if it does, and i pray it will.

  • piratebay sent me here

  • @Taysiir0114 Don't pirate indie games damn it! I dont gve a f* if you pirate activision games or any other multi million dollar company, but games like these are made on almost no budget, and countless hours spent by the developer. the least you can do if you want the game is pay the small price they ask for it.

  • @Taysiir0114 So you're saying the people who made this game doesn't deserve your money, or are you just a cheap bastard?

    Either way, I have no respect for you. Please go away. Forever.

  • Why do people always assume people who pirate games do it only because they dont want to pay for them?

    Up until Steam and digital downloads became more mainstream, in a lot of countries piracy was the ONLY way to get video games.

    And yeah, ill admit it, i played my share of games that way. But whenever i went on trip to the US id buy originals.

    Some people just cant wrap it around their head that not evey place in the world is like the US, with a GameStop in every city...

  • @Vildasnaga I'm from the Philippines and I have to wait a week to buy new games cause it it takes a week to ship

    And here in the Philippines it seems impractical to buy an XBOX because you have to pay yearly to go online.

    Majority of Filipinos have PS3's

    I have a friend who has an XBOX and I envy him because he gets to play HALO but but after his free year was done he didn't play online anymore

    And Bastion was a XBLA exclusive so I had to pirate from a torrent

    But I would buy it on PSN store

  • @iamtheNoNamer

    You can get it on PC, it's not only on XBLA! Buy it through Steam.

  • @QEDinosaur I'm still 17 and my wont allow me to buy anything online until I have a job (-.-)

    I have a passion for games and I actually hate pirating games and torrents

    But Bastion was a game I had to play because people said it was so good and it is (Excellent in fact)

    If it was only on the PSNstore I would have bought the game, sound track and just give the developers all my money because I love the game so much

    Thats why I'm sorry to anyone For what I've done :(

  • @Vildasnaga with all due respect, it doesn't make piracy legal in places where a game is not available. it's like saying it's ok to steal a particular model of a mobile phone from someone just because the very same model is not released in your country. and don't you say that piracy was the ONLY way to get video games as the internet has been around for quite sometime. just my two cents.

  • @rvnsls I agree with piracy is not good etc. But seriously, its not theft. its copyright infringement

  • @Vildasnaga Ever heard of ebay or amazon? Yes, you could buy games there, genius.

  • @RokuRG Thank you for proving my point.

    Your standard money unit, a dollar, is three times ours, so a say 70$ game for you is 210 for us. Secondly, tho you might be amazed, not all places have a shipping and delivery services worth a damn like the US, and most certainly not at the same prices. I could end up paying twice the price of the game just with shipping alone, IF customs doesnt steal it

    Once again, not saying piracy is right, just saying how things work here, whether you like it or not

  • @Vildasnaga Im not from the US, I live in Europe and I dont use $. 70$ game for ppl in US is still 70$ for you and me. It may be 270 of your currency but its still 70$... I was buying many things from countries like US or even Japan/S.Korea, and shipping is ridicolously cheap (sometimes free) if you'll find a good seller, so stop saying crap cos it seems like you have no idea what are you talking about. And exept you live in the middle of Africa, there is no problem with shipping, really.

  • @RokuRG Get of your high horse man, im not saying its right to pirate games, what im saying is that it happens, and that here, as in many other palces i assure you, its the mainstream way to get videogames.

    You may have 70(euros, dollars, yen, rupees for all i care) but, newflash for you, there people in the world that might *gasp* not have as much money as everyone else. 70$ is a friggin lot here.

    An ive already said that I but my games whenever possible and affordable to me.

  • @Vildasnaga I know that not everyone are rich, but If you have money for PC or for the console, (and internet to download the game) you also have money for the games. And noone said that you have to buy the game just after its released, you can wait month or two and buy it for half price or even better. And if someone doesnt have 10 or 20$ for a game then, well, I guess he is just poor (not that its something bad), and he have more things to worry about than playing a game...

  • @RokuRG I agree, internet downloads greatly simplify the process, make it far cheaper and even quicker sometimes. I think that as internet becomes faster and cheaper, and vg purchases via downloads become more mainstream, piracy will decrease. What I said at the beginning, and continue to say now is that piracy exists for various reasons and that many people both profit and benefit from it, just as much as people are hindered and robbed of their earnings by it.

  • @RokuRG not everyone has bought their own PC though, I donated my computer to an employee who could never have bought a computer let alone games by himself, so not everyone can afford to pay exorbitant prices for a game. He has no internet access because it is too expensive for him. I guess it is great living in a country where internet is pretty much given to you on a platter isn't it? I purchase most of the games I play, the others are freeware games. I do not pirate.

  • @Vildasnaga ur right everytime i want a game i always have to find some difficult way to get ito nline ....i wanted a wii game last christmas coudldnt download and my mom had to order it ffrom the states through a game store barbados doesnt have shit

  • @Vildasnaga Agree, to be fair I've riped off some games in my time. Don't have much time for videogames now though but, still the ones that weren't just a 60$ money grab or a 4h long shitty "wait for part 2 ending" junk. I made a point of buying the good ones and giving the people who make very good games the money they deserve. Bastion was one of them and I sent them a thank you Email as well. It kicked my feet out from under me and suprised me with a fantastic story, one that's very well done.

  • @Vildasnaga So what's the excuse, when you can use Steam?

  • @aaddaammize The excuse in some countries is that the foreign currency exchange is limted. For instance in Venezuela, you have todo a shitload o paperwork to get 400 electronic USD (yup, only for internet) and another shitload of paperwork for real $s. I am not excusing myself, I did that paperwork and I do have a lot of Steam original games, but a lot of people does not have the time or money to do that. And we, gamers, need to game. Steam ID: Mr_Mikel_Iceta

  • @aaddaammize Again with the "you're a sleazeball trying to justify yourself" attitude, im not excusing anything, piracy is still stealing. All I did with my first post is to say how it works down here, whether people like it or not, or whether they benefit or not.

  • @Vildasnaga so what's the excuse now taht steam is up?

  • @betterthanbonds9 There is none, that excuse was for one month ago :D.

  • @cyber797 Amen, brother. Amen.

  • @cyber797 Why are you getting so mad over 4 words somebody said? Seriously bro, chill. This is the internet.

  • @existingdark Exacty this IS the internet, a heavenly place where i can react however strongly i want to anything :)

  • @existingdark What does "this is the internet" even mean? That everything which we can access through the internet should suddenly be free? That on the internet there is no need for morality or any understanding of the need to pay for products which are the result of the time and effort of others? How easy it is to decide not to care, after all it's not like you just deciding not to pay for things is going to effect anything is it? You're only one person after all.

  • @kilikiss this is the internet, rules, laws, morallity, common sense, intelligence, decency, are all things that come to die here

  • @kilikiss Still E-Raging I see? What does this ragefest solve? Nothing. Chill. The. Fuck. Out. You're only hurting yourself by getting so worked up over it. Why the hell are you so concerned with what other people do? It doesn't affect you. Just because you're upset, doesn't mean everyone's going to apologize. The world does not revolve around you.

    You're only one person after all.

  • @cyber797 This game is such a beautiful piece of work. Anyone who pirates this is worthless; I wouldn't even call them a troll, just a plain worthless human being. This had care and love developed right into it! It's no one's place to ruin that!

  • @cyber797 Yeah! Only steal from people who make lots of money! Pay no attention to the fact that even the big companies are closing down studios left and right, like Team Bondi! Pirate alll you like from them!

  • @EGRJ Look, if the company is closing down, it's not a multimillion dollar company anymore..

  • @cyber797 Indie or not, I ain't paying until I know what I get. Now where is my Kickasstorrents bookmark...

  • @cyber797 People like you are so annoying. Don't pirate any games dipshit.

  • @cyber797 Sorry to dissapoint you but not every thief is a Robin Hood.
