I talked to 3 different people from 3 different friend groups back when the game came out and each were uniquely insufferable in their own way.
One insisted, unprompted "OMG you cannot kill anything trust meee!!"
One got really pretentious about the bullet hell minigame and essentially "git gud"'ed me after I died a couple times and
One kept asking me about really really specific screens I either didn't see or didn't recall and treated me like an uneducated buffoon for "not getting it"
These interactions were all a few days apart when I had only played a handful of hours.
I uninstalled the game an never looked back. I'll never know if I would have liked that game because I still refuse to play it out of spite for those dicks in ~2016.
It’s too tryhard and saccharine for me idk… also seems a bit too inspired by Earthbound. I’d rather just okay the original quirky game than the one that’s trying so hard to be it.. (the music is also trying to do too much imo)
I had no clue about this song.. although at this point, days later I feel less bothered and kind of respect the song 😆 especially considering, according to the comments, Earthbound also used Beach Boys samples.. so it’s like it’s coming full circle. So for this instance, this song at least, I’d give it a pass.
I don’t respect it because the song is specifically sampling songs from the Giygas section of EarthBound that the Amalgam section of Undertale takes obvious inspiration from.
There’s doing a homage through music samples, and then there’s rubbing it in our face that Undertale is just like that other game I love at every opportunity.
I do think the game did a good job of replicating EarthBound’s goofy sense of humor without literally repeating the same jokes, though.
I personally really love the art style and audio of Inscryption but I could see how someone could bounce off of it. First area boss fights are definitely tricky and feel pretty unfair with their gotchas though. Shame it didn't resonate with you, but understandable for sure. I had a good handful of issues with the game, but in the end, I really loved the experience of it. Got no intention to play it again any time soon though.
I feel like it's mostly just terms of taste, i like the artstyle and can see why the droning would be headache inducing, and basically digital magic the gathering with meta lore won't be everyones cup of tea.
yeah im confused the point of that was so you would get up and solve the puzzles in the room, or this person didn't understand what the game was trying to do i guess. bro probably brute forced it lmao
I like outer wilds, but its never quite clicked with me. It's fun exploring and piecing stuff together, but I just think incryption is a genuinely good roguelike, especially Kaycee's mod. I'm actually not too hot on inscryption outside of act 1. But I think if the initial vibe doesn't jive with you, then there's definitely no point continuing.
you're complaining about a mechanic but that was a vessel for tutorial, the comment i responded to has nothing to do with your opinion and whether you understood the point of the mechanic or not. try not to be so hostile
