Why was this so hated?

Because it had bad character designs, bad voice acting, lolsorandum humour, awful music, and most importantly, incredibly terrible and tedious gameplay.

If we get to see the boy on the left's feet, I'll buy it.

I guess that's a hint that maybe devs should stop adding sewer sections then.

The gameplay is just terrible, and the story is more interested in being like a book than it is anything else.
Visuals and Music are a mixed bag, You'll often get these beautiful looking areas like Windtown at night with really fitting music behind it, but then you have that first fight with an Entity and the most ill fitting song just starts playing.

please DO NOT enjoy this completely awful snippet of absolutely disgusting gameplay

Seriously though this isn't even one of those "so bad it's funny" games, it's just bad period

Did anyone tell him that his game's story has failed because he had to explain this on Twitter since the game itself couldn't?

This game is a textbook example of what happens when you try and make a game that pays tribute to and evokes a good game but you have no talent or real inspiration. It is a haphhazard mishmash of poorly executed conflicting ideas in one mediocre package

It's almost fascinatingly bad, it's like what NOT to do when making a game

it's "so bad it's funny" if you don't play it and make fun of it on the sidelines

I feel sorry for you for having played that trash

I will honestly give the game a try if they fix how slow the combat is. I can't imagine sitting through those slow QTE attacks and animations.

holy shit this looks awful

I'm almost willing to bet a lot of the problems are intentional, as some sort of attempt at making the game completely and utterly postmodern. There's already a lot of postmodern elements in the game, it wouldn't surprise me if it just went super hardcore with it.
That's not to excuse the game for being a pile of shit, just that it was the intent.

become a daddy
get swole
find a hot fat ass twink like me

Fights are like 10 - 15 minutes long and the music does not lend itself to battles at fucking all

This is what made me not even risk trying it. I saw the combat, and while I like the idea, it's way too slow. I expected it to only be slow early on but even by the end, shit's still a fucking crawl.

>check joke review
>guy used cheat engine to make the run at 5x speed or something and it still felt slow

I am fit but I hate faggots

More like a retard's idea of post-modern, ie. If I acknowledge that this is bad, then it automatically makes it good. Instead of, you know, actually making it good. Fucking hate this shit.

terrible fucking combat
"quirky" writing
looks like a pseudo-hipster 3deep5u garbage

You have an option to speed up animations, but its almost a fucking detriment because it speeds up the attack and dodge minigames as well and makes them fucking impossible

Have you had it? I've been legitimately considering it for a long time. How bad is the recovery?

I don’t think he was trying to pander to them. I mean, the guy put Dick Masterson into the game.

Why do you suck so many dicks OP?

>creator defending his literal self insert character on the games official Twitter to convince people he’s not unlikable and he totally gets better
Good lord, it’s like a shitty Curb Your Enthusiasm episode.

so long as your not wearing the thick-framed hipster glasses you're fine

also beards don't automatically make you look better. i've known people who looked great to begin with grow one out just because they're insecure about their appearance and wound up looking like shit because of it

Yes, I would highly recommend it. I got it on a Friday and was back to work on Monday. It felt like I had some sand in my eyes for about a day, but that was the worst of it. Mild irritation at most

I doubt it. A lot of the problems seem to be either simple incompetence, like the art and music, or a lack of understanding of underlying mechanics and systems like with the gameplay. It's very obvious that the dude who made it is very strong willed and wanted to make his own quirky RPG like Mother or Undertale and brute-forced his way into making a game despite not actually having a vision

It's a hard truth that people have to accept in this industry: you have to have a strong design doc that outlines WHY your game is special or don't even bother trying. Even Undertale, derivative as it is, has some fundamentally interesting ideas in both the core gameplay as well as the story. This is one of the lesser discussed aspects of why Nintendo tends to have really creative games: the initial design documents are very brief and describe nearly nothing either than the core gameplay concepts, once they have that solid foundation they can build from there to make something special

I agree. If you haven't, you should find the interview the dev did on the Dick Show. Guy is really fucking pretentious and refuses to see any faults of his own. He even goes as far as to say general audiences didn't understand it by saying his "only mistake was thinking that games were art."

True but I unironically have great beard genetics. It's not just because I think my jaw and chin are weak but I legitimately think it would be a waste of genetics to not have one

hipsters have always been anathema to Yea Forums, that sort of posturing just does not mesh with people who actively seek anonymity

Looks like WarioWare the RPG. I thought people liked that series.

When making a video game, if you HAVE to add gimmicks to gameplay like minigames during turnbased battles, please stick with one and make it far and between

It sounds fun in concept, but that would become tedious really fast.

Sad thing is the very basic gameplay idea of an RPG that mixes minigames, in the same way Undertale mixes bullet hell, can work. But like you said, this guy likely wanted to make his own little game, clearly had the motivation, but no actual understanding of how to make a game.

I played it until I got to that hipster chick's mind and then I got stuck on a puzzle and dropped it
The game isn't too bad, the worst part are the load times though, shit gets tedious

This game looks like a faggot gamedev would make in a TV show unrelated to games.
Fuck me the game showed in the GO HOME GAMER GIRL looks more like a game

People liked WarioWare cause it's a good and fun game. This has the similar idea put into an RPG but the devs were just terrible at it.

I know it involves that one chick who committed suicide(?) by crawling into a hotel water tank, its a mysterious death but the way they treat it in the game is pretty bad

Have you seen footage of the fucking combat system?
How could you play Paper Mario and not grasp that the combat system worked because it was interesting while still being easy, fun, and fast?
All the minigames I saw in Yiik are totally different and slow as molasses.

Because it was utter fucking slow, the shittiest writing I've ever seen, the dumbest plot, worst main character since 2005, SLOW AS SHIT, boring, predictable, retarded and slow.
Did I mention how slow it fucking was? Just look at any gameplay video if you want to suffer.

Which puzzle are you stuck at? If its the 3 buttons you're supposed to use the panda on one and throw the cat at the third one.
Really fucking stupid puzzle. Not only were you never told the cat can press buttons but the motherfucker floats a meter off the ground as well

It was anti-Trump.

Yeah, Elisa Lam. For some reason it was about her and then they change it or drop it into a fucking crazy reality bullshit. I remember seeing some part before the golden alpaca that it some nonsense where they can leave their body behind and use their souls to find a new reality. I don't get it.

cause the main character looks like a 2007-era hipster and people still think theyre unique for hating on that scene

It's fun when done competently, the problem here is that it's stupidly slow.

They asked it in a way that would offend trannies.
"What name did your parents give you" or something like that.

Personally I was offended by the naming sequence in the beginning since it asks you for the names of your friends and assumes you have friends

The game does explain it though. Let’s be real 99% of you guys didn’t even play the game in earnest, you went into it wanting to hate it because the protagonist looks like a fag

I think it asked something like "what name did your parents give you" which triggered any trans people because that's deadnaming you shitlords.

>you went into it
I wouldn't play your shitty game if you paid me to

I found out he has a really small face

If multiple reviews point out that the MC is a piece of shit, his redemption should be a big deal. But that isn't how it came out, apparently.

Apparently people still haven't figured out what to do with him to get the 3rd ending.

They sped up the combat in a patch a few weeks after launch, I haven't seen any videos of it though.

It's like in Earthbound, it asks you to name the character you play as, and then asks for your real life name specifically, so that later in the game it can suddenly say your real name and surprise you if you forgot that you input it all those hours ago.

No, nobody has found anything. Andrew promised to tweet another hint on Monday. We've found some stuff that's completely unrelated to the 3rd ending and some cool glitches. What we've been told is:

>Dax is invisible in South Town in Chapter 4 around the time you go to the mall
>You need a special item to see him supposedly on the west side of the map
>He'll ask you to meet him at Sammy's factory in Chapter 5 after the Essentia Dungeon with another item
>You don't need to clip out of bounds or anything weird like that
>There's also a 4th ending (probably branches off the 3rd)
>The method of acquiring the 3rd ending varies slightly between platforms

>Asking someone's name is insensitive
....what?
Are we now afraid of discriminating against nameless people?

The game couldn't get a chance to explain it because the SJWs who played it got five minutes in and decided it was too problematic.
It's funny that he managed to put both sides off of his game.

If I streamed this blind, would anyone want to come watch to mock it with me?

I agree but I think you're going at this from the wrong angle. A lot of media has dickish characters, and they're consistently some of the most adored ones because they make sure to make them entertaining in their dickishness. They become really colorful and take center stage because of it.
It's easy as hell to simply make a character unlikeable, and then rectify that. It's the same principle as just making something shit on purpose, and then pointing the barrel away from your foot. That's not a good thing, that after some time it becomes serviceable. Character development unto itself is just a meme, it doesn't hold any value. It's always all in the execution. If the best thing that can be said for a game is that after X amount of hours, I'll stop trying to learn to play the bongo on my testicles to distract from having to listen to this grating fucking cocksmear, then it's not a very good game. Like if the best thing you've got to say about a particular friend of yours is that "at least he doesn't regularly waterboard me anymore", he's probably not very good company.

Why did they set this in 1999 and then write it like it was set in the modern day?

Attached: 008.jpg (1200x675, 149K)

because it didn't ask for your name normally, it specifically asked for the name you had at birth

What a fucking fag

There were hipsters in 1999?

Because it is set in the modern day, the anachronisms are intentional.

Vella is pretty hot though. Nice legs.

To be fair, Michael is like 17 or 18, so he'd be around 11 or 12 when Secret of Mana came out

>game is set in 1999
>Chrono trigger came out in 1995
>holy grail of my youth
kind of makes sense assuming they're extremely young adults

Because its such a shitty game even completionist autists dont feel bothered to find it

Hipsters tried to emulate what people looked like unironically in the 90s. Minus the hipster glasses frames that's what people actually dressed like

Michael is 19 and Alex is 25, it's told at the very end of the game during a very long winded monologue.

this might be the worst video game music I've ever heard.

He's probably a fan of "Dax". That's the reason I asked in the first place. I think the game itself looks pretty boring and I can't get over the music.

If you understand how the game works you can 1 or 2 round every fight after the gold alpaca which takes a retarded amount of time no matter what.

this is all sick and wearable besides the hoodie, I want that shirt
I have a huge collection of anime tshirts

Suda's obsessed with indies so he put literally anybody who wanted one in

It really is the big ones that this game misses. People didn't really wear beards (not like they do now at least), thick horn rimmed glasses like MC has weren't cool, and people didnt part their hair like that

Would unironically wear that Japanimation shirt

I miss the trend of wearing shirts over sweatshirts/hoodies, it was comfy AND you could still display whatever graphic your tee had

thinner frames, no plaid. done. you're normal now

Well Alex is explicitly a hipster in the game so how he dresses isn't really meant to be representative of how a normal person in that time period dresses.

Attached: deepest lore.jpg (1920x1080, 254K)

an interesting quirp from the uploader:

"the main reason you go into the sewers is because rory thinks the entity is his sister because he's trying to cope with her suicide and isn't making rational decisions. then alex blows up at him and tells him nobody cares about his dead sister. then the next time you confront rory you can force him to apologize to alex for lying while alex doesnt even acknowledge him or show a hint of empathy

now thats writing"

Literally every white person in the 90's had at least one Bugle Boy shirt.

You can do that but Rory will eventually kill himself if you keep being a dick to him.

Thick-framed glasses are literally the only socially acceptable glasses these days, though, unless you're over 40. If you wear thin frames people think you're a pedophile or something. Plaid is also normal as fuck.

One serious fuckup the character in OP is making, though, is wearing a plaid shirt unbuttoned and with a graphic tee under it. That's like running around waving a flag with "look at me, I'm autistic!" on it.

>Dick masterson
Funny name. Who?

This is WAY more hipster than thick-framed glasses. It would've been the other way around five years ago, but now thick frames are mainstream and actual hipsters are wearing thin round wire frame shit, and you have to be really good looking and perfectly dressed to pull them off or you'll just look like a creepy weirdo. The only way this might not be true is if you live in some backwater that's half a decade behind the curve. People here just meme about thick frames because they don't leave their basements enough to realize that it isn't 2012 anymore or that mainstream trends inevitably are just watered down versions of 5-10 year old hipster trends.

>Thick-framed glasses are literally the only socially acceptable glasses these days
You know, the only time I even acknowledge that someone is wearing glasses is either someone I know who doesn't wear glasses shows up one day wearing them, or it its huge novelty 2004 New Year's Eve glasses.

I can.

Plus how many times did this game get delayed again?

The gameplay is some of the worst RPG mechanics to grace a published marketed title and it makes a ton of purposely bad to make a symbolic point design choices like a low rent Suda51 or SWERY without having any of the charm or synergy to carry you through those bad design decisions.

On the surface, Michael gets a whopping 3 or 2 (can't remember) special attacks in the game one being a useless debuff and the other a enemy party wide attack that if you use the cheat option in the menu to maximize the max amount of clicks will maybe do 20 damage to each unit out of their 600 or so health. Rory is another example, a character that does no fighting but tanks and has some gimmick moves to support the team which on paper sounds cool, but when you initially get Rory the difficulty is trivial but tedious and from that point there's only a couple of dungeons and still no reason to lower your damage output by using Rory since enemies do little damage but have a ton of health. Then the most difficult dungeon in the game is a Alex/Android two teamer meaning Rory let alone the rest of the cast and their skills you've unlocked are unused. The end game past that is just a series of scripted bosses you're forced to lose and a few mini bosses that are pushovers, of which comes after 30 loading triple loading screen days of having the option to grind, listen to 7 different group chats or go back and forth into your room to initial the loading screens so you're party can get prepared for a scripted boss in some kind of elaborate Persona reference.

There's just so many terrible design decisions in the game, and the fact the dev blames the bad press from SJWs initial hostility to Yea Forums thinking the game is pro SJW for its bad critical response is telling they are unable to step back and look at their own work objectively when it needed it.

He deleted it like the day of release, as soon as trannies and Yea Forumsirgins alike started shitting on it everywhere.

The "we tried to copy games we like but couldn't understand what made them work" vibes are so strong its depressing. It's trying so hard to be like Paper Mario meets Persona and falls flat on its face. Instead of fun, fast, fresh combat its boring and slow. Instead of surprising asthetics that clash with rpg norms but are charming in their own way, it's shockingly ugly and dissonant.
What a disaster.

Exactly. That's subconscious stuff.

Rory has some use in being able to one shot mimics which normally take an eternity to kill as well as an optional miniboss that gives a lot of xp. Michael is totally useless outside the first couple dungeons though because his skills don't really scale but he at least has good damage at the start of the game.

Also the people saying the game combat takes too long have to be cheap whores about using consumables in RPGs because Vella's Feedback and Alex's skills basically wipe any encounter in the game.

Bruh, don't listen to morons on Yea Forums. Hell, if you wear plaid, keep the plaid while you're at it. Women like guys with a sense of style, even if it's played out.

I like how scott cawthon made a good game using the same idea (minigames during battle) with pilgrim's progress and these people did not learn a thing from it

I played the game when it first released, I remember slaughtering things in one or two hits with Alex's "EP strike" skill and just put all his points in PP so he could use that more.

I'm not saying the RPG battling is good by the way, the entire game just gives up on being remotely challenging after the Alpaca. But I wouldn't call it slow unless you're just skipping every single side quest and refusing to use skills in battle.

No, people missed the point of the game hard on all sides. Everyone thought the game was going to be about an sjw and his diversity buddies saving the world in an earthbound esque type adventure, it's actually about a manchild refusing to grow up by engaging in a hopeless hunt for a missing girl.

The zoomer boomer bloomer doomer is a psyop.

I find it funny that a lot of the backlash against this game on here is solely because a hoax image of a random beta male that looks like the main character(who intentionally is supposed to look like an insufferable asshole) so people claimed he was the developer and that the MC was a self-insert.

The fuck is this? 12fps?

What the fuck is this music

Shitty recording software, the game doesn't actually run like that. Everything else is unedited though.

The left is closer to being correct than the right, the game is "problematic" sometimes.

A lot of the shit you think is a joke isn't a joke. That's why I hate this place. But it's also why I love it. If I ever get hatecrimed I know it's gonna be one of you fags.

He's playing up a character for the Dr Phil show but he really does believe those things deep down.

Were you overleveled or at level with the content? I matched the level of my enemies and made Alex a glass cannon and he'd take about 3 EP strikes assuming I used the cheat option. The problem was to get to Alex again who is one of the only ones who deals damage you gotta have three other party members go, and 4 enemies go, and if those 4 enemies do a party attack each party member has to dodge minigame, and if all 4 of those enemies do it that's 16 damage minigames in a row which I specifically had happen in certain areas. It became an issue of not thinking of how to win battles or enjoying the game but how to most brutal efficiently make fights go as fast as possible with the least amount of animations.

Why would cheat option matter for EP strike? It's one attack. I admit it has been a long time since I played it pre-patch though, maybe I just don't remember that well. There's not even that many encounters per area though, like 3-4 in a room max. Not like other RPGs where you fight 40+ encounters and they take 10 seconds each, more like 10 and they take 3 min.

Well, me having played games for two decades can just look at and find three fundamentally broken aspects that render the gameplay unfun.

Dev's just making excuses. I don't know if they didn't have play testers or just didn't find some that were harsh enough, but it's not a good game just looking at it. If it had a fantastic story it would be worth it to one or two fuckers to stomach it, but from what I heard it's a story that seems to be missing sections at the end and doesn't have character development.

>hipsters think they're charming
>so much so that they think they're likable enough to be PCs
They should be burnt

What's with the fucking framing, I feel like i'm getting dizzy as hell

This

The game pulls from at least two different series and never marries them in any real way so the game fails in at least two fundamental ways, it's actually kind of sad

How has no one posted what the devs look like already?

Mini-games killed the game to me

I don't even know what this is but I hate it just looking at the characters in the screenshot.

the combat minigame mechanics are just terrible and ridiculously slow/repetitive and the JRPG mechanics are very shallow
but the real reason it was hate is because it's not progressive/political enough for the retarded left, and "anti-sjws" hated it because they thought it was gonna be political woke garbage but it's not
it's just a game about hipsters made by an "oldschool" late 00's hipster who just wanted to make a pretentious weird game

>There was one autist on Yea Forums spamming threads about this literal who game for YEARS.

Found the Dick worshiper

It was a joke. He shits on men as well, he defends both men and women, he just doesn't worship either. His current persona which is essentially just his real self but pushed to absurdity for the sake of comedy is completely different from his old menarebetterthanwomen persona which was completely satire. The only way you could claim both are the same is if you think everyone who critiques general behavior in their culture is a misogynist. You clearly didn't listen to much of his podcast or you're so autistic you can't tell when he's blatantly being hyperbolic. Listen to it enough and you'll notice how night and day it is when he's joking around, and when he's being serious. When he's serious, he's a really bright and reasonable guy.

Honestly I would have played it if the writing wasn't demonstrated to be shit and the main character wasn't so unlikeable. It's especially frustrating because with more thought and care put through it looks like it might have actually been a great game.

Didn't the devs flip the fuck out on people calling it "YIIKES" because the "II" was meant to be "2" and the title is Y2K, as in the millennium data crash scare?

"You can't even meme it as being called YIIKES you morons, that would make it "Y2KES" and that's meaningless!"

Test

This is literally the worst story direction I've seen in a game.The dialog feels like a an unfunny 90s nerd/liberal mix from the 90s making fun of 2010s liberals well at the same time is a 2010s hipster trying to emulate what they think are 90s
hipsters.
All the characters have the same load mouth over the top panicking personality .The pop culture references almost feels like satire that's defensively projecting, mocking nerd culture well being on the lower end of it.

>Because it is set in the modern day
The title is literally a reference to Y2k.It's satire/throwback to 90s nerd culture from a millennial who never experienced that era.

You could do essays on that how bad this game is.

I am a shadow... the true self....

Its just shit

youtu.be/sPX6B8ZKqkI

The gameplay from 2015 resembles 2019's release exactly. They just slapped together a turn based battle system and ignored it while making the rest of the game. The result is a sloppy game with arbitrary mechanics that end up detracting the quality than enhancing. Those stupid minigames for every attack slows combat to a crawl.

Turn based RPGs need game design too. I dont think they ever realised it.

Had it done last year.

You take a hit on night vision and your eyes might feel dry for a few months, but you can use eye drops. Depending on how bad your sight is, you might need to get a touch up or two.

Small price for not having to wear glasses until you're past 40.

Worth it.

Finally someone thats noticing the music. I saw everyone complaining about everything but the music and I thought I was going insane.

It's nobody else bothered Sonic Chronicles tier of random sounds on a constantly changing beat? I get they were going for the Earthbound-esque quirkiness, but this is just cxomplete shit

I'm aware of the Y2K issue, I was in high school. I meant that the name of the game is stupid because everyone thinks it's Yiik. They were trying to be cute and they fucked it up, which is true of every other aspect of the game so at least they're consistent.

>This is how all women feel, as I've gathered from my experience
>All feminism has to believe the same thing
>Schools of feminist thought can't disagree amongst themselves without it being called savage in-fighting
Where do TERFs belong in the standard of femininity, apart from self-evident transphobia?

Tries way too hard to be different and the creators missed the point of why some niche games are loved.

Also you can tell they thought this would be a hit, which is more laughable.

Wait they were serious about that? Hooooooooooooooooooly fuck. Is this entire game just the dev trying to be super smart and no one giving a shit and thus the devs literally explaining their intentions on twitter?
Man when I first saw this game I thought it was going to be pretentious garbage but it blew my expectations out of the stratosphere. I'll jack off to that main girl though.

It's terribly written, it feels like a kid's essay filled with empty words for the sole sake of meeting a quota. It says the same things over and over using several different adjectives that all mean the same shit, only for the sole sake of sounding cool and smart, like one of those teens discovering Thesaurus exists for the first time.
All of this while it emanates an annoying aura of self praising smug.
At this point I kinda pity the devs, they were truly convinced of their masterpiece and it must feel bad being mocked by everyone, but goddamn this game truly seems written by a 14yo kid. Even Yea Forums has a better writing style.

I think it was more about people calling it "yick" unironically. They have a character explain right after starting a new game so they were probably pissed about it.

I thought so too, until the devs began a big fucking twitter tirade about how utterly idiotic people who were mocking the game were when they couldn't even get the name right.

He even put up this passive-aggressive banner on steam afterwards thinking it would stop people from saying "Yiikes"

because it sucks, it's literally just a bad game with bad systems and even worse writing

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

Yeah the dev's Mom died around the time the game came out which crashed the quality of the game, they eventually pulled the game from the store and are apparently remaking it.

I feel like im going to have a seizure if I keep watching this, I made it 3 minutes.
The "mini games to do your turn" thing works but you have to actually stitch it together smoothly like paper mario did.
This is jittery and flashy and all over the place, the music doesn't help either and just adds that that "nauseous" feeling.

As far as I know, prog isn't made out of MIDI sounds in minor keys

What. Were the. Voiceactors. Thinking?

Why is the frame rate so bad?
Did this guy do some yanderedev shit with his code?

>the dev's Mom died around the time the game came out which crashed the quality of the game
Doubt it. Sounds like a poor excuse for this game's crappy quality.

This looks like a fake game made for a tv show. It's constantly changing which I almost like, but so much of it animates weirdly. Like it's always stuttering.

The image itself is fine, what makes (or doesn't make) it onions is your attitude, facial expression and the look in your eyes.

This game is the prime example of the "Idea Guy" type of dev. The one who thinks his idea is groundbreaking, while in reality its just painfully average or plain bad. The worst part is these people are not matured in the head therefore they jerk off each other to mother games and think its the best shit ever. They completely lack self criticism and criticism from others and spend more time on social media than working on the game. These people need a grim reminder: they are not as much of a special snowflake they think they are, their ideas are shit and may have been done already in a better way.

The thing I don't get is, why have the character tell us this when the game could just show it happening?

The dev wanted to show off his amazing writing skills, obviously.

Watching a gameplay video should help you understand

I remember seeing the trailer and assuming it was about a chick (daughter?) lost in crazy Escheresque dimensions with protag searching for her there.
Which I thought was a fun concept (especially if you channel some Lovecraft into it). But I assume it isn't really the plot or the focus from this thread? Never bothered to actually research further.

The ginger fuck wants to solve the mystery of a chick who disappeared from an elevator. That chick in game is very blatantly based on a real woman who killed herself.

Because the story is him telling a story to someone.
