Wow, talk about false advertising.

Hey, it's free. So even if it's crap, at least you didn't spend money to find out.

You know what a fool I am?  I bought the fl0w DLC a couple years ago and I hated the fucking game......and I use the word "game" in the loosest form of the definition.  It's like I just wanted to throw away some money.

I'd rather given the 5 bucks or whatever it was to a bum.

I downloaded this and thought it was boring.  At least flower was pretty and had a feeling of flying for a bit until you got bored.

Flower is/was awesome.  I have no real desire to go back and play it again but I definitely appreciated it for what it was.  Next to Shadow Complex it was my favorite downloadable game from last year.

I think I'd have more fun building a spreadsheet in Excell than playing Flow.

that's what I'm saying.  you play flower, marvel in the presentation and all that, then it ends soon enough and you don't want to play it again.  I don't think it's awesome or anything, but it is something worth checking out, at least.  I don't know how finished flower and was like that "man, I need to jump in and play that again".

How much is Flower? Is it cheap? Like, $5 cheap?

I thought flower was something like 10 bucks, but it could be cheaper now.  PSN always seems to have a lot of sales.


Just looked on GAF for the hell of it and saw a huge thread about Flow being up for free....and people are excited. :lol

Yeah, that thread is pretty stupid. I like free stuff, but I never claimed Flow was good (hell, I've never played it).

isn't flow that game where you eat up stuff? i'm pretty sure it was a flash game or something...
Title: Re: Got a PS3? Want a free game? Nevermind, it's only Flow.
Post by: Mr. Gundam on February 13, 2010, 02:46:31 PM
Yep, started out as a PC flash game.

Bought flOw and the expansion long ago. It's a nice little experience for what it's worth.

Flower somehow feels like a full experience. Flow is amusing enough, and it's certainly unique, but it should have been free all along. The motion controls are also spot on in flower, but it feels clunky in flow.

I dled it.

This is pretty bad.

You assholes just don't understand the message behind flOw. Go back to playing your generic war games as your minds clearly cannot handle the sophistication that is flOw.

:lol

Played it for a couple minutes. Got a trophy. Pretty crappy controls.

It was free, oh well.

You don't have a US PSN account, or is it really IP locked?

I liked Flower, and I will probably play it again someday. In fact, definitely.

Flow is absolute shit though, not even worth 5 minutes of play or its half hour download.

5 bucks for Flower should be a no brainer for anyone.  Automatic purchase.

I dl'ed it, it's free, so if it sucks, at least I didn't pay for it.

Does flow have analog controls? I can't stand the motion controls and I haven't figured out how/if I can switch

fl0w is so bad.

Flower, however is fantastic. I've played it on a friend's system but I might have to pick up a copy for myself for $5.
