The PS4 version of Gone Home has a 3.8 user score on Metacritic. This is such an outrage that I will not couch my rage as "my humble opinion". Those user reviews are morally wrong and the audience needs to grow up and recognize a perfect experience when they see it. My belief in the quality of Gone Home is unwavering, and I will spar endlessly with anyone who would disrespect Gone Home.
Let's clear out the junk arguments against this game.
1)[u] Gone Home is too short.[/u] You know what else is short? Sex. And guess what, sex is awesome and keeps the human race going.
2) [u]Gone Home is too expensive.[/u] Gone Home is free right now if you have PS Plus, so download it already! Also, it is time the gaming community embraced quality over quantity. Imagine if paintings were valued by their canvas size or music was awarded by song length. The argument is ridiculous, and only serves to reveal how little players value their own time.
3) might have spoilers. Read at your peril.[spoiler][u]Nothing happens.[/u] Some people don't want to read a bunch of notes and listen to audio logs. If anyone is expecting ghosts or psychopaths to attack them, then hopefully they will be as pleasantly surprised as I was with the evolution of my understanding of the story. Gone Home has some of the best (if not the best) writing I have ever seen on my PS4. Plenty happen. Plenty happens, just not in the 3-D rendered world.[/spoiler]
4) [u]You can watch it on YouTube.[/u] Why go to the trouble of watching Gone Home on YouTube? Why not read GameFaqs or the synopsis on Wikipedia? Why experience anything when someone else can experience it for you? Or better yet, before you dare suggest watching Gone Home on YouTube, go straight to Hell and burn in fire for eternity.

So you claim your opinion is the only correct one. [spoiler]No.[/spoiler]
