Unusual game

[hazelnut]

Let's get real here, there are not to many FPB games around. 

 

FPB?

 

First Person Bear of course.

 

A kickstarter project.

ok, what's with the 2 paws always out in front ?!?

so he is always walking on his hind legs?

that's just lame, I at least thought he'd be running on all fours, with ground thumps and head jars and all that realistic stuff.

it is called Bear Simulator after all.

 

I guess the $30,000 goal price says it all...

 

but, to be fair, 10/10 for something different, I can see the little kiddies loving it.

It's like a smaller skyrim, but you're a bear

Human in a bear suit would answer all that, after all when was the last time someone saw a human running around on all fours before.

 

Of course if it's a bear simulator they can't forget the back scratch bears do on trees, or the silly campers they thrash that leave food laying around.

One of the first things the Kickstarter video said was that it was using a bipedal testing mode, and that the actual fully featured game will have you going around on all four legs like a bear and standing up only to examine things. Did you watch the video at all?

. . .

 

Maybe its dark & he can barely see.    

 

I misread the first post. 

First thought was that a bear stimulator is a really bad idea. 

Lets not be kickstarting them, a calm bear is better,

 

Black bears often weigh 3 or 4 hundred pounds. 

They can run, swim & climb faster that us. 

Their claws are 3 or 4 inches long and hard enough to scratch glass. 

And they can catch fish or pull your kitchen door off with them. 

 

I've actually been within 25 yards of a mama bear in the woods.  3 hours from other people. 

Pretty tense 5 minutes, but she left without incident. 

 

Then I clicked the game link . . . all better now.  Back to hibernation.

Funny stuff, Derek.  I had forgotten The Far Side, what a laugh that series was. 

 

Icedrake, I go on "bipedal testing mode" from time to time, mostly before the morning coffee.

Yeah, I watched it, obviously missed that vital clue at the start though. (admittedly I was in watch mode, not read mode and suffering from a bit of buffering at the time)

But still, to show one thing in beta testing then swap for another come game day seems a good way to not get customers hooked right from the get-go.
