Comment on What is the most overrated game gamers hype up?
Flamekebab@piefed.social 1 day agoI can see why it would be good. I wasn’t willing to endure more of its self indulgence to find out.
Fantastic response tbh.
It’s a good game, and very unique in what it does, but it’s not the objectively best written masterpiece it gets praise for.
My friend who thinks it is also thinks the same o Shakespeare, which I think explains a lot. I tend to be impressed with works that say more with fewer words rather than say little with very many.
Consider, that, the you’re generally listening the the voice of the main character for a lot of the dialog that isn’t explicitly from other characters, and that he does in fact have his head firmly lodged in his own rectum.
While you are absolutely right, that doesn’t make it more engaging to listen to. Perhaps ludonarrative harmony can go too far.

It is a good implementation of RPG mechanics. The worldbuilding setpieces were fun to engage with. The writing is insufferable.
