Game: the most compelling and accurate representation of genuine psycosis ever created, with extensive documentation on engaging with real people with those psychoses to ensure a true-to-life representation; expressed as an epic fantasy dark adventure through hell.
This guy: its boring bro.
You gonna also comment on how mind-numbingly pedestrian the combat was? The uninspired puzzles? Or did you just watch the game on YouTube?
Like, I’m glad the game changed your life, but we’re here to discuss video games and you’re surprised someone called a glorified walking simulator boring?
Walking simulators aren’t even a bad genre if the story is good enough, but the story didn’t have much to say either.
I thought it was interesting enough of a premise that I played the first game. The audio design was top notch, especially the voices in her head of course. But the plot went absolutely nowhere, and it doesn’t have anything to say about psychosis or the causes and consequences of it. And the combat is bad. The game is mostly walking through linear levels with occasional graphical stuttering, occasional pressing of square to fight, and very basic puzzles. There was no world where I would have played the second game unless it reviewed differently.
You should really watch the documentary they made about the making of the game. The game itself is literally a commentary about psychosis.
What does it say about the game, that you need to recommend supplemental material so one can get this supposed message?
Its more like “here’s a reference that will get you past being intentionally obtuse on the topic”.
You know people can disagree with you without being intentionally obtuse, right?
At the bare minimum people can actually be obtuse, and that would not be their choice, unlike yours to be condescending and unlikeable, thereby also making people less likely to agree with you regardless of how right you think you are.
