game review starts at like 3:15, insufferable indie hipster bullshit literally from start to finish; it is painful, and the voice acting did the high school emo kid writing z e r o favors

I listened through an hour of a 2+ hour long takedown of this game. The guy who made it is a right-wing dipshit who called into the Dick Show to bitch about leftists "not getting" his vision and only criticised it because they "felt cucked", like the reason they didn't like it is because he "didn't spoonfeed it to them like all the other shit they like, like Marvel movies". Dude is a massive tool.

I don't mind a pretentious game every once in a while, even if it's a little heavy-handed and snotty, but this game goes beyond that. Dude who made it is a fuckwit, and the game is trash.

Yeah, he got pissed and pulled some "oops sorry, I thought video games were ART" shit.

You have to effectively communicate your message, otherwise it's just seen as self-indulgent and trite like this. It's weird though, that he seems like some proudboy type, and yet the entire game's cast looks like big bang theory nu-male types

Remember if you don't like this game you are an easily triggered SJW.

That's actually one of the criticisms that doesn't really make sense to me. A monster spawned on them, why should the monster care what they were talking about before and act accordingly?

I've seen gameplay of it and it looks like the slowest game ever >_> Attacking takes forever and does barely any damage

The issue is that the scene before hand you had someone talking about how his sister killed herself. Going from that to what is essentially lolrandumbx3 humor just isn't going to work unless you know what you're doing which the writers/developers here didn't.

Really, this game is like the watermark example of someone trying to make an Earthbound clone without understanding what made Earthbound work.

I actually enjoyed YIIK for what it was, it's a horribly flawed game in so many ways, however I was pretty drawn into the story as I went further into it. I just felt that over all there was something missing that could have made it great.

There were some incredible concepts I would like other games to take up and do better with. The story makes a lot more sense by the end then it should. Over all I would recommend it if you can get it super cheap and have nothing better to do.

There is some good ideas there--like near the end of the game it kinda turns into a sort of Persona-lite in which the game progresses day-by-day. The game does a nonexistent job of doing anything remotely interesting with it, but a game that takes place in 1999 that progresses as a school sim does has a interesting premise. Especially if you take into account the culture of how things were back then.

Honestly I just feel like writing something like that out myself just for fun.

I agree that if it was an attempt at humor, it fell really flat and was really mistimed, but it could have just been an event intended to be absurd and jarring. Do they ever bring up that conversation again though?

That's interesting. That's kinda messed up about using thay tragedy as a plot point.

But besides that, why is this weirdo getting his panties in a twist about thinking about what girls you went to school with that ended up going into porn, when they turned into adults? Everyone thinks about that lol >_> I wonder that
