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.
Monster hunter. You need to hit the monsters like 1000x and they don’t even have a health bar. Its like using a mixer: boring and takes long.
LoZ: The wind waker. I thought it would be like that one world in Paper Mario: TOK where you get a fast ship, but instead you get an extremely slow nutshell.
I liked the sailing portions in Wind Waker, they’re pretty chill. My bigger problem with that game was the number of mcguffins you have to collect. Even if the ship was going lightspeed, most of the game is looking at your map where the next key/treasure/artifact is marked, sailing there, fighting one enemy, repeat. Even after all of the map was explored, it kept going. Member that tiny island you found first thing? Turns out there’s not one, not two, but three magic artifacts buried in the sand! Now go fetch, boy.
The only thing that kept me sane was the sound of rolling waves and gently swelling music
This problem was addressed in the remaster of wind waker
Yes 100% when it comes to monster hunter. I have no love for that game, the only time it was the least bit exciting was when we avoiding the objective and fought a monster that was way too strong for us.
Oh yeah if I had to pick one game it would be that onr as well. I like Monster Hunters world but not thr gameplay. I’ll stick with the Stories spin offs.
