General
Played through Dust: an Elysian Tail today, and I have only two things that I can say about it that sum up my general feelings about it:
Holy f*ck.
Sequel motherf*cker!
I loved the game from start to finish; the art, the game play, the story -oh the delicious story! I can see why it has such hype, especially since it was all produced by one dude -'cept the bits he needed help for obviously, but since those are mainly the sound bits, I'm willing to overlook it.
Laughs were had -mainly at Fidget's expense, rage was felt -some of those treasures NNGH, and glorious man-tears were shed at the ending. Oh such a delicious ending. This is what games should be like; great game play backed up by FANTASTIC writing. Who cares about some power-armored space marines if the story is sh*t? Who cares about the great story if the game itself is a pain, it's taking too long to get it and we can wiki that sh*t? No, Dust is a fantastic amalgamation of the two, and it's going into my 'best games ever'.
REALLY hope a sequel happens, I really do.

Fully agree. It is a truly great game. I saw it's trailer back when he won DBP and it seriously tempted me to get a 360 right then and there [but since it wasn't out and the whole RRoD thing I didn't get it.]
When I did get one after the slim came out it [and Dynasty Warriors: Gundam] was the very first game I went looking for but I still had to wait two more years I think before it's release.
Got the game day one and completed all the achievements in 1-2 days then carried on replaying it for over a week. It's so good I rebought it day one on it's steam release just to support Dean's work and someday stream it.
I really hope there's a sequel and I really want more info on his film plans.
