It's awesome
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwNdTdtyXAM
Don't know what I just played, but the shit is highly entertaining. And only €3.99
-
I will when PSN updates
-
I bought it and played it for a while. Not really sure what the fuck I was doing but I think I enjoyed it. Worth the money anyway.
-
I think it's up now, gonna get it.
-
looks like more of a game than flower though, which is fine with me
-
is it "relaxing" ? because that's the spin most of the sony folk use for these PSN nongames.
-
relaxing is carny talk for "no gameplay or structure"
-
I looked through the thread and most of the responses are "what the hell do you do in this game?" . Which to be fair would be the same response I would get if I made a thread on a Paradox Interactive game.
-
DO WANT
...but do not have a PS3 :(
-
I'm not really sure what I just played, but I know two things.
1. It was kinda fun.
2. LOTS of drugs were involved in it's creation.
-
From what I've played so far, you move Boy around the level eating stuff. But you have to make him bigger before you can eat more stuff, or he just poos it out. You're supposed to make him as large as possible and then report the size to Girl who is up in space, making her way to the moon.
My one complaint is that there isn't a separate button to eat stuff. Everything is done using the shoulder buttons and the six-axis functionality.
-
It's really hard to explain the game, slime. You're basically a weird elastic creature. You can eat suff and become larger/longer. While doing that you can manoeuvre through objects and grab them with your body. You can even zoom out until you reach the space.
The intro was funny lol.
Just read the Eurogamer review:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/noby-noby-boy-review
9/10
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JORqxa7H-n0
Don't do drugs when you listen to this song. Holy shit.
-
hmmm, i guess this sort of thing isn't for me.
I like the drugged out crazy side of things, but again, i'm not seeing much point of going back after wrapping my huge long boy around a load of items and ate/pooped a bit.
I play each level for a few minutes and then head back to the house for a new randomly generated play area. I'll be interested to see what the levels on the moon and Mars are like once Girl reaches them.
and why on earth is EAT and JUMP on the same damned button?!
The idea is that you hold the button to eat, and tap it to jump. But you know what? That's bullshit. The face buttons aren't being used for anything in this game. They should've made X the eat button.
-
getting the prince on your back is a silver trophy.
:-* :-\
Yeah, I got that right away. Hell, after 10 minutes of playing I was already at 23% with the Trophies.
-
y one complaint is that there isn't a separate button to eat stuff. Everything is done using the shoulder buttons and the six-axis functionality.
it's waggle based? :yuck
t-shirts already

The game gets better hype than Killzone 2 :-\
-
It's really hard to explain the game
actually its very easy. just watch the gameplay trailer in hd on youtube and youll get the gist of it
-

It's not waggle based. You do most everything with the two analog sticks and the shoulder buttons. However, you hold L1 and tilt the controller to move the camera in and out.
-

Yeah, letting someone watch a video of it is definitely easier than trying to explain it!
-
i agree?
-
at five bucks i bought it on impulse. will try later
btw nice job on all the bullshots for yakuza 3 sega. cuz damn if the actual game isn't a blurry jag fest
-
i agree?
I also agreed. :]
Anyway. The first few trophies are easy, but they get pretty hard later. Damn, I've become a trophy whore since Flower and Cuboid came out. :-\
-
oh, i thought you were being sarcastic
:]
-
That was....strange
-
I have no idea what i'm playing
-
It's certainly strange, but I still feel better about dropping $5 on it than I have with loads of $10-$15 downloadable titles.
-
yeah, like, I feel better about getting this than I did about getting SF2 on the 360 (the old XBLa one) or Echochrome.
still, what the fuck
-
hey, Echochrome is great!
-
I don't even know what's going on in this game. :lol
You get a trophy when you quit the game. wtf?
-
hey, Echochrome is great!
I thought so too until I played it :-\
Great style, cool idea of making perspective the focus of a puzzle game, really boring final result.
and 30 more minutes, still no clue what the hell Noby Noby Boy is. I did clothesline two people driving in a car, then someone stole their car and drove into a pyramid. I also went to a level where there were tricycle eggplants driving around inhabited entirely by rabbits and midgets.

it said there was an error in the uploading process, but apparently not.
-
Crush is great. Actually, it's one puzzle game where solutions kinda just happened, but didn't feel too planned (example of puzzle game with too much planning: Braid...snore)
-
I played a ton of Crush and a ton of Echochrome, I like both but prefer Echochrome.
Crush got waaaay too difficult towards the middle/end and the levels took forever to figure out. I liked Echochrome because the solutions were non-linear. There'd be a dozen ways to solve the puzzle if you messed around and were creative. I dunno, once I got the hang of the controls in Echochrome I really liked it. Probably top3 PSN game material for me personally.
-
I don't even know what's going on in this game. :lol
You get a trophy when you quit the game. wtf?
i cant even work out how to quit. i know it comes up when i go in my house, but i cant select it
edit: you need to hold it i see. fuck this shit
-
I really can't tell wtf is going on in the youtube vids. I loved Katamari Damacy, but this... This looks like your stranded on a small plot in a void and go around eating things. You can tangle yourself up (why) and have people jump on your back. It confuses me more than anything.
-
Seems like they made a cool engine but couldn't figure out how to make a game out of it.
-
Yeah if I didn't know that there was some loosely-connected way of progression/getting new levels I'd have dismissed this as an odd, tech-demo style release in the same vein as say Stretch Panic.
-
the graphics are nice, cute, and colorful
the gameplay is fucking boring
do not waste 5 bucks on this shit
-
The game is great, but definitely not for everyone.
My gf loves it. My brother laughs at my face for playing shit like this. I like it. :-\
It's not a game to play for hours long, though. But the game can be fun for a long period of time. I think I can always boot this game up when I'm bored.
-
Looks like a dual dong to me.
-
Is this in the US store? I haven't checked.
-
Yep, and it's only $4,99!
-

Now you know the true horror of Noby Noby Boy.
The developer was definitely dual donging when he came up with the concept. The women in the game also have big boobs. :o
Another review:
IGN (http://ps3.ign.com/articles/955/955673p2.html)
9.0 Presentation
Simple, self-contained and gently insane. It's full of beautiful touches and tiny secrets.
7.0 Graphics
It's the physics rather than the graphics that got the most attention during Noby Noby's development, but its style is thoroughly charming.
7.5 Sound
Lovely acoustic noodling is the perfect accompaniment to the gameplay.
9.0 Gameplay
Controls take a while to get the hang of and the physics throws things off occasionally, but Noby Noby is ultimately effortless fun and uniquely engaging.
8.5 Lasting Appeal
It's extraordinary value for money, and it may be months till we see what new planets have to offer. There's also plenty of room for expansion in the future.
9.0
Outstanding OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)
-
I was confused enough about the eurogamer 9/10, and now IGN is doing it.
-
It seems the double dong is pretty engaging for certain types of people. Maybe that IGN editor is a porn star?
I'll use a double dong with you
-
I dunno
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/bebpo/noby2.jpg)
That looks like a 9 to me.
-
You guys burned me on "Flower" are you trying to do it again?
-
It's $5. You can live without fast food for lunch, right?
-
He can also live with keeping his $5 instead
-
He can also live with keeping his $5 instead
Oh ha ha! You're clever!

That about wraps it up for Noby Noby Boy
-
So I bought it and 30 minutes later I still don't understand what the hell is going on here. Why exactly do I want to eat all this shit and get longer? I've played my fair share of non-games but this seems extraordinarily pointless. And who's so out of their fucking mind to give this thing a 9/10? I can understand giving flower that score but certainly not Noby Noby.

:lol
:bow Takashi's double dong :bow2
Seriously, the game is awesome. Biggest suprise of the generation for me.
Everyone around me is laughing at me for playing this. My brother and friend called me a loser. But who cares? I'm having fun.
-
Score doesn't mean anything but to say it has great gameplay and good lasting appeal because it "might" get better in the future is fucking distinguished mentally-challenged. No wonder this industry is fucked
-
Well, this is almost a game. I think
Damn it evilbore. ::)

I know you're sort of just being cynical, but the reason why you want to eat all that stuff and get longer is because you want to get to the moon and see what's there along with 10k+ other gamers.
The drive is that you're all working together towards an eventual goal of exploring the unknown universe. By yourself, your 5,000 meters aren't going to do much in the scheme of 300 million needed to the moon, but combined you are making a difference.
Noby Noby Boy is really just Folding@home but with eating children and donuts

I think it has good lasting appeal because the levels are randomly generated and there are SO MANY OBJECTS packed into the game so you keep seeing new crazy stuff and at least so far it hasn't gotten old. I mean one guy on gaf got a level where roman Spartans were flying helicopters.
As for gameplay....I think it's pretty subjective here. In terms of "commands" there isn't a lot to do, but there is a lot you can do if you want.
-
Wow cool, so I pay $5 and everyone does the work for me
-
awesome roman spartans are flying helicopters. so then what
-
And Bebpo proves his cognitive dissonance. Don't ever let me hear you diss the Wii again, you hypocrite.

He didn't pay $60 to play a non-game.
Wii games don't offer value. I can understand the hate.
-
Yeah First is right it's more like a game that you play in short bursts once or twice a day when you're bored. It's like a sandbox and it forces you to experiment with stuff and think like a kid. I can't wait to see how the other planets look like!
-
yeah, playing more than 30 minutes (after you got into the grove of things, so anytime after the first time playing) ends up getting boring. I like the game for how it builds different worlds randomly to mess around with. If it was a bunch of pre-made worlds what you just eat stuff, then that would be even more boring. Half the 'fun' is just seeing the different types of worlds the game makes. It's a bit like Doctor Who where you just go around and see how different worlds do their thing. That part is the interesting part, not so much the boy gameplay, which is at least somewhat entertaining.
I'd much rather see something similar in a Mass Effect or other space/exploration based game. Going to different areas and seeing how the world kinda works (often times madness in Noby Noby Boy) is so great.
-
This game isn't terrible.
It's even kind of fun in a distinguished mentally-challenged, lol look at the weird shit sort of way.
I don't feel ripped off because it was just $5.
