Topic	I seriously don't understand the overhype surrounding Squid Game. It's dumb.
Mackorov 10/20/21 6:29:37 AM #16:	All the games required tactics which you could use, compared to just relying on dumb luck like in SG. coolpal23 posted... Well I mean I watched the first couple of games in AiB the first one I thought didnt make sense, it was still 50 50 and if you didnt know the layout of the building you're fucked full stop The first game isn't actually in the manga but it does provide better entertainment IMO. It relies on observation and remembering the layout of the building. And... and if you didnt know the layout of the building you're fucked full stop Yes, that's the point. You're supposed to always think ahead and always be observant even before the game. The second game, was more luck, and going up against a gun seemed pretty straightforward to me No, again, strategy. ~~Chisaya just camped at the corner of a building where he could have a bird's eye view of everything and see when the tagger approached.~~ It also made sense because the tagger would start from a lower level first. To win the game, you cant just run around mindlessly trying every single door. It was better to ~~observe the tagger under the good assumption the tagger would know where the room is.~~ the third one was just unneccesarily cruel, left a bad tastew in my mouth, definitely didn't like that one It could actually be solved without anyone dying. Lots of theories floating about but the author has made it clear (in the manga), ALL the hearts games can be solved with not a single participant dying. That's what I find so ingenious (read if you wanna find out). There's the 9 of hearts and 2 of hearts games the show didnt include. The jack of hearts (best freaking backstabbing game ever) and queen of hearts will likely be seen in season 2, depending how they go about it. the last one I saw with the running, was really dumb, how did they not see ~~"goal"~~ on the bus right at the beginning? Again, observation. The distance is meant to show how far you're AWAY from the goal, not toward the goal and the game rules are always absolute and consistent with this. It's not like Squid Game where the Front Man can suddenly choose to f* all the participants up mid-way ~~like he did in the Bridge game.~~ That was really stupid and unfair. AiB's games to me didnt seem complex, moreso very much luck based, and I'm not down for that Wait till season 2 or read the manga's face games if you think it isnt complex enough. Especially the King of Clubs and King of Diamonds. <cite>Mackorov posted [p:959213335] in I seriousl...
