wannabe art/film critics like huffing their own shit by calling everything "bad". in their imagination they're super elite with superior taste and the more stuff they label as "bad" the more super elite in their own imagination they become. this thread has been going to shit lately with so many "super elite critic" wannabes calling everything bad huffing their own shit.
Because every game that has come out recently has had the same stupid shit that makes them bad. I can ignore boring and tedious combat since I have a cheat tool to auto win. But pretty much without exception all the recent games that were released used some sort of gimmick to make teh corruption happen that takes agency away from the girl. Its not her choice to go with the other guy, its always some bullshit mechanic. Along with choices that I have to make as a player that allows the NTR to happen. Thats one of the most common things that ruin a game for me.
You either get, "oh no we are broke I need to sleep with this guy for money". Or some variation of X makes the girl super horney for some reason.
And you add in crazy bloat because the dev wants to hit every niche as possible in their game hoping it will appeal to more people. Like BBQs just released game. If the only thing in it was the prince route, then I could overlook the tediously combat, and the fact that it too has the "girl is horney oh no" mechanics. But there are way too many things stuffed into it that it just makes me not want to play it. Every rando on the street has scenes with the girl. So non of teh scene truely get propor story lines.
The game is objectively not bad, but its bad to me because to me it sucks ass. But just based on the ability to make a game in RPGM BBQ clearly is very skilled. But his writing just doesnt work for me.
And everything I dont like about the BBQ game is the same things I've hated from every game released recently.
