    Goat Simulator on Steam

    Seriously. Goat simulator. LOL! $10? Sheesh, a bit steep I think. But if you want to be a goat, you gotta pay up.

    It's actually a very funny game, lol. I watched PewdiePie play it on YouTube.

    I'm pretty sure this is the same game, you just unlock different animals/abilities.



    Note: There's a lot of swearing in this episode for some reason.

    Yeah, I would buy it for under $5 considering what you get, but $10, no.

    That dude is a buzzkill. All he does is complain about the game, and even a few other games.

    Yeah, I think Pewdiepie, as much as I hate him, showed the game's full potential, if you can call it that. It'd be worth a couple hours of fun I'm sure.

    Most of the Internet community is heralding it as the game to end all games. For the week anyway..

    That TotalBiscuit fella is always negative on games he dont like. Makes it hard to find out if the game is truly bad or not. And sadly its "kewl" to bombard cursewords in YT vids these days. D: The thing is seeing Goat Sim just makes me want to start playing goofy skateboard games again on my old PS2 and Xbox1.

    As long as it's not a sheep simulator, that could get a bit creepy.

    That "female experience simulator" is incredible. I never knew that the outside world was so full of creepy men. I'll certainly think twice before I grope some girl in the cereal aisle of the grocery store next time!

    Remember, just under the surface of every decent man is a gross pervert just waiting to break free.

    This is what came to my mind when I read your comment.
    <iframe width='420' height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/f4Mc-NYPHaQ" frameborder='0' allowfullscreen></iframe>
    Wonder if I would start singing it at a random bus stop would it make things better or worse...

    Anyway, apparently there's gonna be a DLC for GS this May. But don't worry, it will be free.

    Strange... I play a similar game to this....every day....from 9 to 5 plus traffic.

    I call it the Sheeple Simulator. I believe others call it "Real Life", whatever the heck that is.

    LOL No doubt.

    I got this game for my kids to try, and it's kept them entertained, but they're only 5 and 6. I guess it's good for something then.

    Much hype over nothing tbh. Just a simple sandbox game that gets boring after 10 minutes but of course YMMV.

    I think Goat Simulator will be hilarious in the same way that Surgeon Simulator can be hilarious - it really shouldn't be funny, but it is. Although being more open-ended, Goat Simulator might be better.

    I plan to buy a copy when it's $5 to gift to my friend who has Surgeon Simulator, so we can all go over to his house and watch the madness ensue when he plays Goat Simulator.

    Well I picked up Goat Simulator for 9.99. Some giggles for about 5-10 minutes. Gave me headaches and made me pretty nauseous. You just go around ravaging the town. There are silly objectives like doing 2 backflips in a row, launching 50 feet into the air, etc.
