Gone Home Speedrun in 47 seconds

Read the video description before posting something stupid (who am I kidding, you're still going to post something dumb and fail at reading comprehension. Grow up):
The voice direction is great, the story is touching, there's a great amount of well-thought-out details in the levels, piecing the mystery of the house and the family was engaging, but all those perfect 10/10 reviews Gone Home has received is extremely suspicious. The gameplay is non-existent and asking $20 is way too much for a 2 to 3h long "interactive" story that has no replay-value. Edit: prices have drop significantly and now it is totally acceptable to pay less than 10 bucks to play this 3h long ~video game experience~.

Anyway, you can beat it in 38 seconds if you select "all doors unlocked" and go directly to the attic. You don't need to get the attic key in the secret room like I did. Still, "you can beat the game in under one minute" isn't the point I'm trying to make with this video. Whether this video is satire or not I'll leave it up to you to figure out.

Of course Gone Home is a video game, this isn't the argument here and you'd be a moron to say otherwise, it's just a bad video game.

"Gone Home is a remarkable first person adventure that tells one of the finest stories I've ever experienced in games" -IGN

Dear pseudo video game journalists,

Gone Home doesn't deserve a near perfect review score and all the praise it got. It has flaws. There's no replay value, no gameplay and gameplay is important in a video game. So I'll say it again, Gone Home is a bad video game. Your only goal in Gone Home is to walk slowly from one room to the other, open drawers, turn on light switches, look at the environment and read stuff. That's it. And no, I'm not complaining that there's no one to shoot and no game over state. Objectively, this game doesn't deserve a perfect score. You can praise the story and narrative and voice acting all you want, but don't forget that it's the gameplay that's the more important thing in a video game. You can watch a walkthrough on youtube of Gone Home and get the exact same experience than playing it yourself.

Meanwhile, God Hand gets a 3/10 score

you fucking hypocrites
