Played the Stanley Parable today. It was pretty neat, I think I was able to see most of the content in the game. BTW did anyone else get the ending where they roll the credits? I think that was the definitive ending cause it's the only one where they roll credits like in a normal game ending but I guess you can say that there really isn't one.

Thats kind of the point that there isn't really a "proper" ending, just the ones laid out by your choices in the game. I've seen the Confusion Ending and Freedom Ending and a couple of others so far.

Did you come across the White room with every ending highlighted in form of storyboards?

I remember watching the source mod of this game, that was fun.

Downloaded this yesterday. This is a great game if you want to lol at how games give you the illusion of choice and all that good jazz.

If you guys haven't already tried, go to the broom closet and stay there for 10 minutes. Hilarity insues. :tv:

Yeah the commentary is hilarious. If you try to go back there the 3rd time you'll find it permanently locked by wooden slabs nailed to the door :lol:

there wasn't actually a white room per say but it was more like a meuseum, they had all the different endings and stages on display along with commentary from the devs, they also dsiplayed a few routes that they cut out.

Couple more reviews:

Game Revolution - 100
The Stanley Parable is a game which isn’t really applicable to the standard rating system. It’s a game that achieves what it has set out to achieve perfectly, and though it could be longer and have more endings, it doesn't need them. It’s a thought-provoking and intelligent game which should be experienced by everyone, and one which will be referenced for a long time to come.
Joystiq - 100
It's this bouncing between serious tone and irreverence that makes The Stanley Parable so special. You never know what to expect and the thrill of discovering something new is reinforced by great narration and often capricious events. But more than anything, it's this choice at the center of it all that makes The Stanley Parable a game about self-discovery.
Goes to show the potential of fan made mods on PC. This was basically a two year old mod now released with some additional content and is being met with excellent reviews.

The Stanley Parable proves that you don't need variety of actors to achieve a good experience. The commentary was hillarious. best hour ever.

Guys 'The Cave' is one of the most atmospheric games you'll play if you have a decent surround sound setup.

Truly magnificent.

Jazzpunk - I had reservations going in knowing I would not find funny and unfortunately I was right. I chuckled here and there, but all in all the humour did not click with me.
Best thing I can say about it is it makes you fell like an agent. It's a pretty short game, shorter than I expected.
