I’ve just uninstalled and removed Balatro after yet a near, very close 8/8 ante finish. I have been failing and failing, I’ve only ever seen and gotten to 8/8 ante twice, this being the second time. Every other run has been just insulting me to where no strategy has ever worked, I feel like a lot of it is RNG and pre-determined outcomes based on seeded runs.
And I hate that way of playing. It always feels like I’m getting smacked down by a troll bully who I can never overcome. They’d kick me down every failed run I’d have, then they give me a false sense of security the further I get. “Awwww, getting tired of being owned? Here, let me help you by giving you a few seemingly lucky breaks. SMACK Oh! OWNED YOU AGAIN! FUCK YOU! LOLLOLOL! I BANGED YOUR MOTHER, GIT GUD, NOOB!1”
I just don’t understand why these kinds of games are around, even when I have a good idea who it is for.
Baldur’s gate 3, the combat was frustrating and the dice rolls popping up in the middle of any skill check were annoying. I’m sure there are others but that’s the one I can think of right now.
Yeah, the game is frustrating and hard. I preferred their other game Divinity 2 significantly more.
I really really wanted to get into this one but there were just too many story threads going on at once and I had fomo analysis paralysis about all of them
I just decided to go with whatever direction I take the game. No save scumming, just go with it. Forgot something? Fuck it, let’s move on. There may have been a more interesting way of solving something? Fuck it, let’s move on. This mindset was liberating and rewarding as hell!
I tried that my first time through and somehow bugged the game so that I could not actually complete the third act. I was so pissed off I haven’t played it in years
