"World's dumbest game" Goat Simulator gets a Shrek mod, splitscreen mode and new map on the way

Modder creates "Get Shrekt" mod for silly PC game; patch 1.1 will add splitscreen mode, new map, new achievements, and new goats in May.

112 Comments

If you thought the Goat Simulator craze was over, you were wrong. A modder has created an especially hilarious mod that allows you to play not as a new variation of goat, but rather as the beloved animated hero Shrek from DreamWorks' popular film franchise.

Coffee Stain Studios has previously labeled Goat Simulator as the "world's dumbest game," in case that needed repeating. You can download and install the mod via creator [FP] Dafini's Steam Community page. Here's a link the music, too, if you need to hear it again.

In semi more serious news, Coffee Stain Studios has announced that Goat Simulator patch 1.1 will add local splitscreen multiplayer and a new playable map that is said to be roughly the same size as the original map. This patch, which also includes new achievements and goats, will be released sometime in the middle of May.

People are really paying 10$ for that? They should be ashamed. A game made in two weeks. It should have been free. Is it supposed to be cool to buy something so ridiculous, when you cry when a game made in 3 years is 60$? Pathetic.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Because those 60 dollar games that took 3 years to make often (these days) end up having about as much content as this Goat Simulator game.

<< LINK REMOVED >> They knew how to placate to the internet cool kids, and it's making money -because- it's a broken mess of a game. That's the appeal to the people who make a shameful living playing video games in-front of a camera and uploading the footage on Youtube... they have a ton of footage of exciting retarded garbage to hook people into watching. People see that and they want a piece of that. It's similar in concept to the whole 'shock tv' phenomenon, only the goal isn't to spark outrage.

<< LINK REMOVED >> This is written in the game's website: "Disclaimer: Goat Simulator is a small, broken and stupid game. It was made in a couple of weeks so don’t expect a game in the size and scope of GTA with goats. In fact, you’re better off not expecting anything at all actually. To be completely honest, it would be best if you’d spend your $10 on a hula hoop, a pile of bricks, or maybe a real-life goat."

These are just cheap titles with crazy physics to fool around with. Goat simulator is similar to octodad thats coming to ps4( and has been hyped by ps4 owners as an exclusive previously). Everyone knows what they get - Brief fun cheap humour and funny scenarios. Great type of games to invite friends over and play for a short while. I want quality titles but games like this also. Im excited about the goat coop hahaha.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I don't care how good it is, NO GAME should be more than $40.


...that's why I play on pc. I rarely have to pay $50 or $60 for games.


And this game is actually pretty fun. It certainly has more semblance of a game than Minecraft.

Maybe the author of the mod thought of that too - but placed the Ogre instead.

It would be something if this game was free, but after watching this video, the $9.99 asking price is a bit steep...

@DrKill09 @sortajan Not that I enjoy falling back on a cliche comeback, but you'd have ignored the reply button if you didn't care.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> Also in the description is this:


"Disclaimer: Goat Simulator is a completely stupid game and, to be honest, you should probably spend your money on something else, such as a hula hoop, a pile of bricks, or maybe pool your money together with your friends and buy a real goat."


It's a joke that we're all in on, and we're all having fun with it. It's not hurting the market, it's making us ignorant, and we're not being scammed. We know it's near-broken, pointless, and goofy. And just this once, it's a breath of fresh air. I'm also playing lots of titles that had love, blood, sweat, and dedication poured into them by the boatload. What exactly is wrong with this?

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I don't know why, but I think console gamers are jealous.


Truthfully, there are far better things to spend $10 towards. Gas Guzzlers Extreme, Rise of the Triad 2013, Shadow Warrior 2013, Sleeping Dogs, Pac Man Championship Edition, Far Cry 3, Alan Wake...


Hell, Gotham City Impostors is free to play, and is a way better game. Goat Simulator is just a fun diversion for a few hours. Nothing I would personally pay $10 for, but maybe if it was on sale for $2, or in a Humble Bundle.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> The problem is the pricing. 10$, some other developers are working really hard to come with a good product, but this? Made in two weeks? People vote with their money and in that case, a few laugh over a terribly broken product is worth 10$...

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I refer you to my other comment:


"the fact is that this game is, for many of us, fun. we enjoy it. it's relaxed, absurd, and just plain entertaining. whether it's an ultra well-funded AAA title or a silly and pointless indie game, what does it matter?


i'm not saying this should be a new direction in gaming, but it's definitely an enjoyable breath of fresh air."
