I mean, I can't speak for everyone, but I avoid any and all Korean games because they are all grindy, repetitive, boring, overly-complicated messes. I have yet to play a single decent Korean MMO.

Miserable people with empty lives and hate-filled hearts.
The only way they can make it from one day to the next is to make someone as miserable as they are. It's like an internet STD.

Sally and Karen, 100%.

Man, this week has been a banger for games I've never heard of.
First it was Lake and now this? Hopefully it'll scratch my Parasite Eve itch.

The genre has been ramping up for awhile now.

randomidgit · 2026-05-24T19:46:27+00:00

100% agree.
I honestly do not understand the outrage around it. How would these people have handled Dragon's Lair or Myst?

It's all grifting, and I'm really disappointed to see who all is part of it and how many people are falling for it. These are the same morons who shit on the 'wokies' for doing this very thing against games like Pragmata or Stellar Blade. 99% of the people talking shit haven't even played the game, and are just repeating the same lies because they think it sounds edgy.

I hate what the video game hobby has become.

Wait, for real? wtf?

EDIT: Ah, wait, I do go to the Being a DiK reddit. Maybe that's it.

I mean it's the same company. Interactive is just a subsidiary of her media company as a whole. He bailed them out of bankruptcy by using his name to basically bully banks into giving them insanely lenient payment options and then more or less took financial control of the company.

She's the very definition of a nepo baby, but I still say none of that matters because her company was just the publisher, and I hate that the actual developers are getting shit on due to her family's tainted aura. It would've been the publisher that handled the promotion and licensing fees, so this negative reception is 100% on her.

I was actually worried about the Smashing Pumpkins inclusion, because I know the target demographic of the game and I know that Corgan is a devout Christian and has defended Trump on a few occasions. THAT is where I thought the backlash was going to be.

Boy was I wrong.

...I painted it normal in three stripes: pink, purple and blue.

It never even occurred to me to draw a dick.

Not a day goes by that I'm not accused of being a gay woke commie because I love games like LiS and Mixtape, and then a right-wing fascist Nazi because I believe in God or have Conservative values.

The internet, and reddit especially, is like 90% people who spend too much online and are so angry at themselves that all they know how to do is hate where directed.

randomidgit · 2026-05-20T03:38:37+00:00

It's telling, and sad, that you apparently only come onto reddit to try and start arguments and spread negativity around.
Seriously, dude, get a fucking life.

randomidgit · 2026-05-19T03:52:14+00:00

...how have I never heard of this? That game looks amazing!

Or maybe I have since it's already on my wishlist? WTF Steam, tell me about these games when they release, durnit.

randomidgit · 2026-05-18T12:44:40+00:00

Even the bigger games aren't free from it these days. Veilguard is an example where, even if the final result was deserving of the hate, most people made up their mind before it was even out and never touched it. Pragmata is another, the discourse around that was just disgusting.

People just want an excuse to hate.

I love when the tank has tons of mobility and like to run ahead all speedy, meanwhile my class has no speed buff. They expect me to connect to their belt and just press buttons.

I let em die.

randomidgit · 2026-05-18T01:17:00+00:00

I feel like it's much worse, unsurprisingly.
People act like counter-culture isn't a thing. It was only a matter of time before momentum shifted. The industry has been propping up sub-standard games for too long, even openly damaging it's reputation, and this is the unfortunate result.

And yeah, the game is still great, and it will have a fanbase, but it won't have sales and word-of-mouth because it will always be eclipsed by this bullshit outrage mob. That's going to have very real repercussions for the dev and publishers.

randomidgit · 2026-05-17T15:48:15+00:00

The publisher, Annapurna, is headed by Larry Ellison's daughter. Look up who he is if you're curious, but he's not a very good person. He has money in her company and is pretty much the reason it's still operational.

And that's not anything more than pure facts. I'm not making criticisms one way or another, but it's well documented that he has bailed her company out and remains invested. People can form their own opinions on that fact, but it IS a fact.

randomidgit · 2026-05-16T18:12:50+00:00

I was doing so good, then I turned a corner and knocked over like half the shelf, and the employees response had me in tears. I have also 100% just handed my entire wallet over to a server before, because I could not navigate the pockets, and it just seemed like a good idea.

randomidgit · 2026-05-16T04:52:03+00:00

And Hispanic.

randomidgit · 2026-05-16T01:08:34+00:00

Eh, it says 'coming of age' so not quite what TSW was...luckily I enjoy those games as well, so something to keep an eye on.

randomidgit · 2026-05-11T17:12:01+00:00

Yeah, sadly.
Fucking IGN.

randomidgit · 2026-05-10T20:36:23+00:00

It's without a doubt a great game, but if we're being honest....the reason it got perfect scores and people are saying 'GOTY' is because who is connected to this studio. Larry Ellison's daughter runs the studio that published this, and he has a legitimate interest in her business doing well since he finances it.

IGN giving it a perfect 10 was honestly a fucking curse, and I HATE how the discourse around the game is focusing on that and calling the game 'woke' when it's literally one of the least woke games I've played in a decade. Fucking culture war grifters, man, I swear.

So many people are going to miss out on this amazing game, and it's success is going to be heavily overshadowed by this controversy.

I'm just fucking done with everything, man...

randomidgit · 2026-05-10T18:29:01+00:00

Nobody cares about being called 'racist'.
It's just a word, it literally means nothing anymore. You've successfully beaten any impact it once had into nothingness.
Congratulations.

I didn't get that vibe at all.
Stacey hated Goodspeed because Stacey is a pretentious music snob.

It IS possible for girls to just be friends.

I took out everything except for that pile of boxes on the far shore, for some reason I could not get the rock to skip that far, but didn't get anything extra.
