I just downloaded YIIK: A Post-Modern RPG out of curiosity.What am I in for?
>>743903331You're gonna think that each copy of the game is personalized on how much alex yiik is literally you
>>743903331DUDE DID MY FRIEND REALLY MAKE A SUPER VAGUE JOKE ABOUT MY WEIRD FETISH 5 YEARS AGO THAT NOBODY UNDERSTOOD HOLY SHIT DUDE I NEED TO BURN EVERY BRIDGE AND SHOW EVERYONE HOW MUCH OF A DOUBLE CROSSING VINDICTIVE FAGGOT I AM IM YIIKING OUT AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
YIIKING OUT
>>743903331A genuinely fascinating experience. Maybe not if you're a meme-quoting subhuman obsessed with that YouTube video though.
>>743904090>Maybe not if you're a meme-quoting subhuman obsessed with that YouTube videoshit well count me out thenthanks for the tip
>>743903331I played it for about 10 minutes got tired of schizo babble and quit
>>743903331Yiik I.V is not Yiik and alot of the context will be lost on you due to it being a response to the backlash against the original Yiik
>>743904090GUYS, I JUST MET A BLACK PERSON
>>743903331Kino
*bwoooomp*
>>743907741DUDE you can't FUCKING say that
>>743907741I'm horny.
YIIK is low key based, and we all need to apologise.It only took me hearing those Gigaboots faggots complaining about it to realise I'm team YIIK.Also DD deserves to be unhappy.
I GRINDED THIS GAME FOR LITERAL HOURS AND MY SO CALLED FRIENDS NOT ONLY DIDN'T NOTICE THEY DIDN'T EVEN THANK ME
>>743903331You can’t appreciate Yiik unless you’re at least a little neurodivergent the game is a normalfaggot filter
>>743907741i kinda get it though. They are low key erotic. Like a big fat woman that farts.
>>743908201damn I didn't know your friendship came with conditions
One of the worst games I've ever played, and I played both the original unpatched version and YIIK IV. I have nothing but contempt for the devs and their dogass fucking game
>>743908424how does the gameplay differ from expedition 33?because I really enjoyed that game
>>743908201Why didn't he just turn off the game if he didn't want to grind? Not like anyone would give a shit and they never finished the game anyway.
>>743903331Every time I visit this board it feels like every post is talking about a meme I haven't heard of
>>743908494Imagine if E33 had 10 enemies and all those enemies were football helmets, toy cars, and piles of literal shit, and the battle system was held together with duct tape and glue, and anything too many people were amused by was ripped out of the game leaving the experience flat incompetent and unenjoyable
>>743908424Getting filtered twice is legit impressive
>>743908424The original game's combat sucked but at least had a bug you could use to skip it entirely. The new combat sucks and there's no bugs to skip it.
This dude will now samefag for hours because he’s mad Yiik is v culture
>>743907741dd on his way to move 2 feet out of bed and grind yeek all day
>>743903331>subtle oneyplays drama thread
>>743909205erm no?
>>743903814whats funny is this sounds like a joke he'd make when he was oneyplays. i can't remember the one but he had some schitzo joke about everyones fucking with me and no one believes me.
>>743909301> ... okay...
>>743903331IM GONNA…IM GONNA…IM GONNA YIIK!!!!IM GONNA YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIK!!!!!!
>>743904090I like RS and I wish they'd upload more often. Melo's narration and jokes have that 2000s-early 2010s energy almost every review today lacks.
Where’s the finale?
>>743910057idk. We should all ask him in unisonWHERE'S THE FINALE, DING DONG?
>>743910057fuck ding dong and julian. insufferable faggots.
>>743907741I PUT A HOLE IN THAT-
I actually think YIIK is an enjoyable game. I just think people took Alex too seriously in the wrong way when the game itself is making fun of him and people like him.
>>743910361It all comes together...
>>743910378Alex is both being made fun of and being presented tragically
>>743910378I can't take neither Alex nor the game's plot seriously after one of the Allansons had a crash out on Dick Masterson's podcast and blamed le stoopid gaymers who don't like an asshole protag
>>743910694That crashout was always taken out of context
>>743903331What's the deal with this fag game? Did the creator really make a game where he is the hero?
>>743910378people didn't think it's obvious the game was making fun of him? It's incredibly in your face about it. he is a caricature of the type of person who posts on 4chan and I don't understand why any of you like this game. it is directly deriding you for not being a millennial soiboi.
Alex doesn't even do anything wrong. Everyone is so mindbroken over this character, including the actual writers.>dude, he's like slightly childish, and has well off parents!Okay?It feels like an attempt to caricature somebody that someone hated, only I'm out of the loop, and I have no idea what this person did in the first place.>He's a hipster and listens to rare records!Fine. I don't care.
>>743906929>only available version is IVhow do i get the original then
>>743910812Not exactly, but apparently he had to rewrite a lot of the original story when his mom died. I believe one of the changes was that in the original ending Alex actually redeems himself and works on becoming a better person. The whole "(You), the player, have to save the world" was a later addition, afaik.
>>743907741https://youtu.be/vjetHZtehNQ?si=wzZ5k99kYTJz4AZhThis is how DD and Julian actually met btw
>>743910979If you actually own it on steam, you can use steam depots to download an old patch of a gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRWnmGZB2roI used this to play the launch version of Armored Core 6 (1.01) after all the whining of the bosses getting nerfed in that gameIf you're pirating, there's probably an old torrent from 2019 that has the original version somewhere out there
Yo I don’t think anyone is really talking about just how weird it is that DD openly admits to spying on Chris taking a shit in the restroom and listening in on him so hard he could hear his voice over the fan in the restroom. Chris is lucky DD is ultimately a passive aggressive dweeb otherwise Chris would be turned into a skin suit lol
>>743911241I can only find one torrent of 1.0 and it has no seeds or alternative trackers. the 1.0 DL on csrin also doesnt work. i can only find 1.25 and I.V. is 1.25 the same as 1.0?
>>743911273he is one hundred percent the kind of guy who keeps little blackmail files on all of his friends, and constantly tries to break into their personal accounts.
>>743910919Him being childish was never the main problem. The problem was the fact he refuses to grow up and pretend to change. There's also the chronically online aspect of him since he's supposed to be obsessed with online internet forums to the point most of the posts on onism is him samefagging.
>>743911539Is Richard Jewish?
>>743911392It depends, do you wanna see the original golden alpaca scene?
>>743911547I just fail to see why I'm supposed to feel some kind of visceral hatred for this man as opposed to pity at worst.
>>743911679i dont know. all i know is you, or some other anon, said in this thread that I.V has differences from 1.0. is 1.25 like 1.0 or I.V? i just need a damn answer
>>7439113921.25 is fine, it's much closer to 1.0 than 1.5.Changes made from 1.0 to 1.25:>new mini-dungeon>changed a specific cutscene in rory's dungeon>added a "condensed story" option that skips a lot of Alex's overly verbose monologues>original story option is kept if you want to experience in all its badness>added an easy mode for battles (you'll want to use this, the combat really is that bad)Just go with 1.25, the changes made in 1.5 are much more substantial and the "direct response to criticism" that's important all happens in New Game+ to be specific.
>>743911774>"direct response to criticism" that's important all happens in New Game+ to be specific.You misunderstood this part of the game, the point is that Alex and people like him are critical of reality in a way that’s unhelpful to them it’s not a response to critics of the game
>>743911698You don't have to hate Alex. I think he's funny af personally.
Is this the new stealth Oneyplays tactic?
>>743911547this sounds like ding dong, no wonder he really resonated with the game.
>>743908424IV still gets pretty tedious especially around benevolent psychosis but to call it one of the worst games is exaggerated.
>>743903331it feels impossible to find an unbiased opinion on this game. the biblical amounts of seethe it generates almost make me wanna try it
>>743912140Try it and form your opinion. I tried it after hearing both sides and ended up enjoying it despite everything but I doubt that'll happen for most.
I don’t know DingDongVG
>>743910378> people took Alex too seriously in the wrong way when the game itself is making fun of him and people like him.That's falling into the trap of assuming there aren't plenty of people that understood this but still thought the game was unfun and the writing still poor. I agree that a lot of things went over a lot of people's heads but that doesn't mean you can't follow the game and still ultimately feel that it and the story aren't very good.
>>743903331Youre in for more motherfuckers who know fuck all about that time period.Records in the late 90s/early 2000s...motherfuckers would take that as a genuine insult at the time.
>>743912371>and the writing still poor.People who are obsessed with making a value judgement are low IQ
>finally found a working torrent of 1.25thank fuck, i thought i was gonna have to buy this game just to play it. ive never seen such a difficult to pirate game in years
>>743912371I'm not saying that everyone misunderstood Alex but most people that haven't played the game fundamentally don't understand that and just regurgitate opinions they get. YIIK does have shortcomings and it isn't perfect but people treat it like the antichrist when it's story isn't even that bad compared to games that have huge fanbases despite being a dog shit story or game.
>>743907650IN FACTI MET TWO
>>743912569Why the fuck would you want to play 1.25 ffs no version before IV is worth playing
>>743912679because if IV is supposed to appeal to resetera trannies then im going to play the version they seethe at.
>>7439126791.0 and 1.25 are still the original YIIK.1.5 is more like a "YIIK Heaven's Feel" that adds a lot of new events and recontextualizes the original story entirely.
>>743910784Kek
>>743912917The original Yiik is super mid other than the story which is better and easier to understand in IV
>>743912818But I.V. wasn't made for resetera trannies? Where did you even get that notion?
>>743913013it wasn't specifically only made for them, bt from cursory research it attempted to appeal to them by changing aspects of the original. that's all i need to know to not touch IV until i play the OG
>>743913108Your cursory research sucked ass because 1.25 already has the change and it’s totally fucking irrelevant. Also Yiik has the masculine and feminine as explicit forces and is aggressively Christian to the point it’s fucking annoying
>>743913291Don't listen to this anon >>743913108, 1.5 changes a lot of the bosses, has new characters, and has an entirely new subplot with Michael that wasn't there in the original.
>>743913464None of this shit has to do with the tranny drama which was people throwing a fit the game asked for the name your parents gave you which was changed day 1 and is totally irrelevant to the game.
bump
>>743903814>>743907741>>743908201>>743908495>>743909205I tuned in to DD's stream earlier todayIt was just Julian solo doing damage control, and I didn't record it because I was at work but I KID YOU NOT, he literally threatened to break-up with DingDong if he didn't spill the tea on their experience with OneyPlays. He claimed it was from the darkness festering inside from holding it all in so he forced DD to tell the whole "traumatic" storysorry I don't have the proof. Julian is an emotionally-manipulative bitch.
>>743910361I love how you can still hear Jon say "nigga" uncensored in one of the playthroughs"I shipped that nigga off" talking about a package or something lel
>>743916194They're both nuts and they reinforce each other, I think.
I now understand why the trannies were mad
>>743904090DO YOU WANT TO WATCH ME JERK OFF
>the worms in smiling friends are an antisemetic dogwhistlebruh, it's just making light of conspiracy theories about secret societies running the world. The Simpsons did this in the 90's.Worms appearing in Smiling Friends is also a running joke, because the game Worms.
>>743912556and what about relativistic faggotry that presupposes nothing but algebra and even then, if ask some people lol can be asserted in confidence?that is supposed to be more clever than the most human experience of judging whether something is good or bad?
Ruh Roh
>>743910919Lodged somewhere deep within nonsensical plot happennings, abstract I.V changes, and the general reception, there is actually something pretty interesting about Alex even in 1.0 version. The very last dialogue / cutscene in the mind dungeon, where dungeon master sort of sadly states that Alex simply fumbled the game of life on the easiest difficulty. Though unlike all the flagellating self-reflection with blue narration text, or after the end of the world, it concludes with the advice not to follow Essentia to his doom. So instead of the usual "we must do better" rhetoric, Alex's inner voice tells him to save his skin, which is an actually unique finale for an annoying hipster character.Perhaps devs intended to add extra endings post-release. Or maybe it was just an allusion to the cut / prototype ending where Alex went after Essentia to help her of his volition, rather than whatever the fuck ultimately happenned.
>>743916491>speculates about whichever of his classmates would be doing porn while waiting for an image to load>shitposts on an /x/ forum all the time while being friends with the admin>liberal arts major that had to take an extra semester, doesn't actually want to get a job>"ginger is OUR word">"vaguely ethnic"alex is truly my hero
>>743903814>>743907741So were people even actively aware of his fetish or did he just spaz out and expose it himself
>>743917394I really want those brothers to make another game. It seems like they can write something interesting but idk what factors they need to facilitate it.
>>743917796its common knowledge on 4chan but i don't think anyone else knew about it.
>>743903331Did that combat overhaul ever happen? I've been holding out because I heard a few years ago there was going to be a combat update, which just by looking at gameplay I felt it needed.
the thing is, people will shit on this but still play purse owner and smt and whatnot, but those games arent much better
>>743917796Normies were blissfully unaware until now.As for the people who knew him back in early 2000s? It wasn't a secret.>Ding Dong's old Second Life account
>>743918791not seen this version of his fursona, somehow more disgusting than the other two. impressive.
>>743910361NO JON
Ending 3 where?
>"Oh no Dingdong, I'm being swallowed by a tuba">FURIOUS MASTURBAITING "ALL CHRIS' FAUULLLLLLLLLLTTTTTTT!!!">BWOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPMMMMMMMMM>SCHPLOORT
>>743903331I seriously feel bad for DD & J and hope they get help. They're not bad people, they've clearly just let internet banter and maybe a couple people who've taken it too far get to their heads and turn them mentally unstable, and they're taking it out on their former friend who had nothing to do with it for some reason.
>>743916194>>743916403reeks of Folie à deux honestly
>>743920497They are quickly heading into full lolcow statusIm 4 hours in the man n cheese stream and just everybody is wrong but him, one of the most embarrassing parts so far was him whooping "moot was in the epstein files" over and over trying to call all 4channers pedos even though when a lot of us are his biggest defenders.
>>743920779Actually that's him arguing with the kiwifarms thread. For some reason he thinks that they love moot.
>>743920497Nah man there's no helping them. The type of people that hold onto minor slights from years ago then bring it up like this are the most toxic people you ever encounter. Every interaction they have with a person WILL end like this because every minor problem they remember and store until eventually they have built themselves a list of reasons to hate you.
I lost respect for Julian whenever he posted that comic where he felt like he was being turned into fucking Mickey Mouse. It obviously showed:>he's obsessed with himself>he's also delusionalDingDong is more or less the same and they clearly just bounce off each other. I imagine their conversations are "I'm so persecuted" and "Me too!"
>Betrayed by Arin>Betrayed by Mick>Betrayed by Ding Dong>Betrayed by Julian>Betrayed by Stamper>Betrayed by his ex-gfWhy does everyone backstab Chris? And why hasn't he done PHUCKER IN ROME yet?

I can't care less about the fucking tuber drama. Summarize it in 4 words or less.
>>7439214192 faggots burning bridges
>>743908569nowaday 99.9% of threads here are bots.just hide them
>>743921072>Why does everyone backstab Chris?jealous of how cool he is
>>743903814>>743917796I mean Chris did reference Mick's "power move" so it's not impossible.
>>743910694i know it's a meme to say "taken out of context" given what the thread is really about, but i listened to the interview and it really does feel like it was taken out of context in a way that in context, it changes what he's saying. andrew was talking about internet retards who were focused more on the perceived politics of the writer and projecting the protagonist onto the writer because of that. for example:>alex is a basedcuck liberal, therefore the writer must be like an ernest cline!>alex is a womanizing jerk, therefore the writer must hate women!and that spiel was spurred by dick ranting about how people read way too far into things that they miss what the writer was trying to say
>>743921072Now it's our turn to backstab Chris by not buying bowlbo but instead pirating it.
holy shit playing this with keyboard and mouse is pure ass cancer
>>743921570If you really believe that (you don't) then why do you still come here
>>743921735speak for yourself, poorfag
>>743917845>but idk what factors they need to facilitate it.an editor.
>>743921735I am purchasing Bowlbo: The Quest for Bingbing
>watch the kemonofriendzone interview>went in wondering why mark's cutscene was completely untouched>actually get an explanation for it; andrew wanted to have alex slowly drift off into daydreaming while mark told the tea story, but they didn't have any time to add it>>>the "CUM IN HER FACE" bit from the running shine video was actually what they intended to do
>>743921808How are you having trouble playing an RPG with a keyboard? Are you legitimately retarded?
>>743918119not sure what you mean, but if you mean the original combat system being completely scrapped and replaced with a somehow much fucking worse card battle shit system, then yes
>>743903331YIIKES
>>743921936The karta system isn't bad. Honestly people act like karta is objectively worse than the old system people bitched and moaned about extensively.
>>743920779i have no idea who this faggot is because i never watched whatever jewtube shit you faggots are all on about, but if he took the fake and gay fabricated fbi files as real then he is an unreedamble fucking retarded faggot who needs to hinderless himself
>>743921683the whole power move thing was an actual bit
>>743922109From Chris or mick or both?
>>743920779He was in the files but thats hardly surprising
>>743921808>"playing" anything on a cuckboard and cuckmouse
>>743922026because it is worse, which is honestly an amazing accomplishment
>>743922041Oh he thinks that the files are just republicans and that PizzaGate is a demented schizo theory based on longshot conjecture.The state of the normie mind is grim, very very grim.
>>743922327worse how? i thought it was too easy to break, but otherwise a solid system
>>743922327It's not worse. The main issue comes from STR and piercing being too good but that happens with most RPGs when it comes to certain stats.
WHERE IS IT, WHERE IS THE YELLOW PILLI NEED A HINT ON A HINT
>>743921072chris o'neil TRAPPED and BETRAYED for 1000 years
>>743922476Don't worry I'll tell you. The game
>>743910361look at these blacks
>>743922476>>743922529i think it's actually amazing that after seven years nobody knows anything about the third ending or how to progress past the yellow pill barrier
Joking aside in order to unlock the third ending you need to understand Japanese and play the Japanese version of YIIK and read the onism posts
