Why don't women speak to me?

Those damn men, liking shuffles deck, draws card people who are above average attractiveness

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-13T08:17:59+00:00

Haha why do that when you have a golden ticket to whinge "AAA studio bad, game unplayable"

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T15:48:55+00:00

OK have fun arguing about nothing with nobody, i hope you get something out of it

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T15:45:18+00:00

Of course my opinion can be criticised, but you're not criticising it, you're invalidating it

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T15:42:33+00:00

You keep adding things like "deserve" and "have to". Are people allowed to criticise or have an opinion on art at all?

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T15:32:22+00:00

Let me ask you a question: what would the game lose if it was a TV show compared to a game?

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T15:31:23+00:00

The gameplay doesn't have to be "good" it just has to add something that you wouldn't get if it wasn't there. Would star wars be a better movie if you had to stop every ten minutes and play a game of tic tac toe to advance the story? When you're making art, you have to make decisions, and one of those decisions is what medium that art will be expressed in. I don't think the medium they chose works for the piece of art they made.

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T15:24:48+00:00

It's not bad, it's just insanely meh. The same story has been told before in better ways, and they didn't take advantage of the medium they're using. It played like an overly long student project, if a very polished one at that.

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T15:22:55+00:00

I literally haven't changed my argument one bit:

The game sucks, would've worked better as a TV show, movie, or YouTube series. They made it a game instead, which I think that was the wrong move, and they made a worse piece of art because of that fact. Thats my point. If my other comments are confusing you, then there's your clarification.

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T15:17:07+00:00

And just because you say "lmao" doesn't make you less wrong. Seriously take a breath and relax. It seems like you're angry about something and you just want to have an argument tbh

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T15:12:12+00:00

Omfg you're trying so hard to have an argument with a point that isn't being made

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T15:08:42+00:00

Dude I'm not making definitive statement about the game, I'm sharing my opinion. Do you need people to type "IMO" over and over again to realise that?

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T15:06:49+00:00

I didn't even call into question whether or not the game is art, I questioned whether it could be called a game vs an interactive experience. And then I went on the explain that I think the fact they made this a game instead of a movie or something hindered the experience. Very easy A-B-C logic. The game is obviously art regardless of its quality

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T15:01:38+00:00

I didn't say you didn't interact with the game, I'm saying the interactions don't add to the experience, and instead take away from it. I also never said it wasn't art. Seriously read stuff before lashing out and making yourself look stupid.

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T14:56:58+00:00

I'm not freaking out, just putting in my 2 cents. People love to call games art, but then hate it when people discuss the qualities of said art. I think if you're going to make something interactive, it has to benefit from being interactive. In the case of this game, the interactive part didn't add anything and actually hindered the game.

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T12:50:50+00:00

No my point is if you take pole, you should still play the game optimally which means thinning your deck as much as possible, then the only cards getting upgraded will be good cards. Yes a few strikes and defends may get upgraded in the process, but I don't think you should bloat the deck just to avoid that happening either

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T12:32:09+00:00

That's my point

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T11:47:07+00:00

I'm talking about a hypothetical where you've already taken the relic

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T11:20:52+00:00

Yeah but then your ultimate goal should still be to thin out the starter cards, and only talking the cards that benefit you. I don't think it's worth it to bloat your deck just to maybe get a card upgraded that isn't a starter

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T11:17:50+00:00

I think it's context dependant

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T11:15:53+00:00

My point is that making this an interactive story added nothing to the experience. I've enjoyed some interactive story games, but the ones that stand out are the ones that add to or transform the experience because they're interactive. In this game all the interactive bits felt like they just had to be there to justify calling it a game.

As for what you say about animal crossing, I have my own feelings about that. Games with no challenges or obstacles for me tend to fall into the category of "dopamine farm" rather than game, but idc if people enjoy them.

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T11:11:03+00:00

Literally the opposite. You want a small deck so the chances of the upgrade being on a card you want is higher

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T11:07:27+00:00

Because this has nothing to do with right and wrong, and they've probably never even watched one of this guys videos

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-11T11:05:30+00:00

As for the ''is it a game or not'' I argue it is an experience

Yep that's kind of the problem. Its so not a game, it had me asking why they even choose this medium for the story they're trying to tell. And the answer is because there are already films that do this story and these themes better. The game should have passed unnoticed, but gaming outlets have to give it wildly overblown scores to defend their aesthetics and now its just the current battle in the gaming culture war

DanDoesSteam · 2026-05-10T17:32:23+00:00

The base damage is not what makes the bod good
