#staygigantic : The Gigantic Fan Appreciation Project. [ PEOPLE WANTED ]
I love Gigantic. The characters, the art, the fact that it was 3rd person, something I excel in [ I cant platform for shit ] is what kept me grinding, blasting, summoning, and rolling into the game for 95 hours.
Seeing all the emotions that people are posting here, I know I’m not the only one. This is why I’m here to propose #staygigantic . Big kudos to Aztrekz on Twitter for coming up with the hashtag .
This is a multi-peron, multi-faceted effort. Creators, Gamers and Appreciators are welcome aboard this ship. Just as Motiga was so passionate about their game that they were willing to work on it without getting paid, I’m willing to try anything to show everyone that there is an audience and we want this game to continue.
Gigantic deserves to stay.
Skylent Games made a video about it a few days ago talking about Gigantic Being Dead On Arrival. [ You can watch it here ] , and while I couldn't agree with much , he did say something that caught my attention.
“People latch onto games for their own reasons. It doesn't always have to be game play.”
And its true. While there are some games I would never play on my own accord [ Dead Space and FNAF for me ] , there are other aspects of them that I love and always make me excited to see.
If you’re on the Same boat with Gigantic, please help our efforts to show our appreciation.
