>>729639212I'm literally shriiking!
>>729639458I'm Yiiking out.
Why is YIIK so fascinating? It's such a shitshow, but I've never been this interested in a game that I have no intention of playing.
>>729639212>premieres in 45 hoursAin't nobody got time for that
i don't think anyone is going to ever find the hidden third ending. i hope this new game doesnt have any convoluted secret bullshit like that>old frankton endingnot the third ending but they did update it in I.V>ultima endingnot that one either. i like that they made both boss fights work with the new battle system even if you can still only get them by editing save data
>>729639793Some things are just hard to not stare at - like a car crash
I'm YIIKing out
>>729639212Is it pronounced YEEK, YICK or YIKE?
>prevents the finale episode from being released
>>729641035It's not necessarily that alone. A "car crash" game is something like Hunt Down the Freeman, which isn't just unfun and infuriating, but also bland and pastiche. YIIK clearly has heart and passion behind it, even if the execution is flawed.
>>729639458>>729639656I'm vibrating with motion
>>729643050>yiik finale announced on the official alex yiik channelwould be kino
I never ended up playing the update. Is it significantly different that would warrant a new playthrough?
>>729644021the plan was having kirbopher's involvement doing some kind of voiceover for the episode but it never manifested
>>729642202officially it's 'why-two-kay'but people who've actually played it pronouce it 'yeek', which is the sound of joy released when playing it
battered housewife syndrome game where the dysgenic creator cannot move on from this pathetic shit after half a decade. he's developmentally stunted by this shit. it's not funny, it's not interesting, it's just sad. his dumb game generated a single decent youtube video and it's time to move the fuck on now
HE
vibrating with motion
>>729639793It's something that is influenced by a lot of things you like but is fucking awful. It's like looking into an alternate dimension where you're a terrible person, so you feel morbid curiosity and keep watching. And pray it's not a mirror.
>>729645382You just know SE executives played peak
>>729645382LEMONADE
>>729642202The most unfortunate Roman numeral of all time
>>729639212I watched a bit of the game to see what it's like. Does it really take that long to load into battles even on good hardware?
VELLA SEX
>>729639212>the only people that watch it will be /v/ ironically watching it
>>729644134Yes, it changed a lot of things up and is a much more enjoyable experience than the originalYou will want to start a new game
>>729644609sounds like a good reason not to do it
>>729639212
I just bought this game fuck the haters
>>729643050>was the only reason they played itoney said they all got busy so it fell thru. the real crime is how the legend of chris finale never happened.
>>729648976>dev is in the thread
>>729646512I think he says "eliminate" but "lemonade" is funnier.
>>729649040Fuck off reddit fag
RedditChained echoesUndertaleOmori4chanYiik a post modern rpg
You think the devs are aware of the threads?
STOP TRYING TO FIX YIIK!MAKE SOMETHING NEW!!!!! FUCK
>>729639212You will never be Sean Murray, Allanson. You will never have fixed game as No Man's Sky since public doesn't give a shit about Yuck and your ACK studio. Stop trying to selvedge this garbage and make a new game
>>729639793>>729639212>hate the story>hate the characters>still watch videos talking about itI dunno what's wrong with me. I legitimately despise the writing in this game but something about it does appeal to me or I wouldn't give a damn, right?
>>729650884It was already fixed with the overhaul. You lost
>>729651689Have you played the IV update yet?It is unironically kino
>>729650884no, they shouldn't have ever "made" any "games" ever
>>729639212MUST BE THE BLACKS
>>729651689Yiik is interesting because it had all the ingredients to at the very least be a flavor of the week indie RPG ala Omori or Lisa The Painful but it fucked the execution hard. on the surface etc etc
bought
Could Alex beat BAZZ?
>>729639212It's incredibly cringe that he keep spending years reiterating a shit game and changing everything instead of just making a new game.
so these threads are just two people sperging out on each other right
Did that 1.5 update ever come out? I remember it being teased ages ago.
>>729653543Yes. It is objectively better but whether it’s “good” or not is subjective
>>729642202Michael calls it YICK in one scene
I know it's pronounced why two kay but there's just something satisfying about calling it yick
>>729653613what was his fucking problem anyway
>>729653713Alex, clearly
>>729653713If I were stuck dealing with Alex in every parallel reality I'd fucking lose my shit too
>>729653613Does this actually mean anything or is the dev just being tongue in cheek about rewriting his game?
>>729654083Benevolent Psychosis definitely feels like a direct response to all these years of constant mockery but I guess it's also thematically consistent with the rest of the game Probably, I don't fucking know
>>729639212>YIIIK
>>729639212>YIIK sequel comes out>It’s called YIIK 2>Takes place in 2002Bravo
>>729654691Yiik 2 already exists
>>729651121NMS is still pure shit
>No Man Sky fixes their game and keeps updating it>"Awwww how sweet!">Yiik fixes their game and makes it a 9/10>"UUHHHH SECURITY!!!"
>>729639212kino
>>729654854I like how they actually listened to the running shine video and added as many hot chicks as they could
>>729654854i want to fuck the blue hair chick
>>729651689the whole point is that everyone involved is an asshole that refuses to grow up especially alex. in that respect I think the writing succeeded, it's just a miserable experience actually reading.
>>729654854I want to fuck the red hair chick
>>729654691>Y3K
>>729639212uh-oh. I think we got the makings of a cult classic
>>729642202Y 2 KYear 2000
>>729647039No, it is explicitly an issue with the Switch version only and battles don’t even load in the new version
>>729654854I wanna yiik the red-haired dude
>>729655181What does the K stand for?
>>729649035There are so many oneyplays series where he talked about finales that never happened. Channel turned exclusively into best of comps.
>>729654952I think the intent is never communicated to the player. What should be a neat idea becomes off putting because they never get those ideas across so it just seems like the characters suck.
>>729650884It’s just the physical release probablyIirc they are remaking Two Brothers
>>729654921Kek
>>729655696>psychojosh threadgo figure lol no wonder it read like one guy posting to himself
>>729655128>THREE YIIKS?
>>729656047Where's Gigamaidens?
>>729655793The Bowlbo threads were too obvious and he got called out in the Kings of Hell threads.
>>729655353kek____________
>Yiik thread gets overtaken by schizoKek, fitting
>josh got banned and his posts deletedfucking lol
>>729656571He mobile posts and will be back. Shits up /vg/ threads all the time.
>>729639212Y2K?A vinyl record?in 1999 vinyl was basically fucking dead. Nobody wanted that shit. The vinyl hipster bullshit didnt happen til the late 2000s like 2008 or so.CDs were and frankly still are the goldstandard of audio quality.And anyone who looked like that dude in 1999 wouldve gotten their asses kicked. They sure as fuck didnt wear thick frame hipster glasses either. Undercuts were still a thing though.This looks like 2009 not 1999. Fuck this bullshit gay ass rewriting of recent history I actually fucking lived through.
>>729657341To be fair towards the game there's a lot of intentional anachronisms everywhere. To be fair towards the critics, the game is very bad at explaining itself because it usually prefers to dump exposition on the player rather than show the characters reacting to things.That moment where Michael's house moved was kinda cool, it needed more moments like that. Like have someone actually point out "hey wait what the fuck, why are vinyls everywhere, nobody buys them".
>>729656204Why does he always sperg out about the same people? He started mass reporting KoH threads then started posting KoH threads himself so he could derail them immediately.
>>729657469Bet these bitches think people wore skinny jeans in 1999 to intead of loose ass carpenter jeans or JNCOs.No amount of explaining shit away fixes the fact that whoever designed that picture was never present in 1999. Fuck these gay litle pussies in the ass with the business end of a goddamned rake.GOD I FUCKIN HATE HIPSTER FAGS.Even the facial hair is wrong for the time period
>>729655668I think it's communicated just fine the actual problem being that it's actually communicated too much, the writing overall is too drawn out and it makes playing the game feel like a slog at many points.I.V. fixed that to a degree but then also had the built in sequel stop you from skipping ahead in dialogue when you're finished reading
>>729657661Alex lives in 2016 and the point is that he's a retarded manbaby imagining his version of 1999
>>729657661>I AM ANGRY>ANGRY ABOUT YIIK
>>729657870I LOVE BEING IN YEEK
>>729657780>>729657870Fuck you and honestly fuck whoever made this shit.No excuses for garbage like this.Hipster garbage needs to stay the fuck away from every decent human being and their shit.
The fact that this game has several references in Va-11 Hall-A still baffles me. I've never looked up the connection before though. Did the devs just really like YIIK or something?
>>729659513I lost my shit when Vella YIIK showed up out of nowhere, its so immersion breaking
>>729659513same publisher and the references in VA-11 HALL-A were made before the actual game was out
>>729659513Same publisher
>>729648976Let us know if you understand it, schizophrenia is a prerequisite
>>729639793It's almost good. It has a lot of really cool ideas and almost executes them well, but also terribly at the same time. It's like watching a lolcow who occasionally bursts into tear-provoking opera performances, only to go right back to shitting himself or whatever.
YIIK will still be getting new content thousands of years from now.
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?
>>729657780I miss the mid 2010s
honestly, fuck yeahGames that suck or are annoying don't deserve the hate they get. I will laugh because human hands made shit, but the shit games stick in my mind and are more fun to talk about than games that are just fine or good.I hated life is strange when it came out for being gay American teen drama and not a game but that shit stuck around for what felt like a lifetime.Yiik had room to be wanky and interesting without being boring as fuck, I hope it still sucks
>>729658326This anon is stuck in 2009 just like Aliix
>>729639212I love /v/iik the post-modern shitpost
>>729661556>the real yiik was the friends we made along the way
Somebody told me recently that Rory and Alex’s designs are based off a conspiracy theory that Kurt Cobain killed himself and rebranded as Rivers Cuomo and it blew my mind
>>729649035It was actually because of the game grumps crap
>/v/ is actually so stupid it doesn't know what post-modernism means
Idk man, yiik always looked like a nice indie persona, is it really that bad of a story?
Its kind of crazy to think that this was a wii u game and they're still working on it
>>729639656>>729639458yiikmind
>>729639212Wasn't the dev offended at ''gamers'' for not understanding the art he made and was done ?How is that he still pushing this shit
>>729661832if you have it on steam you could rollback to the pre-1.25 version that changed a few of the controversial cutscenes, see it for yourself
>>729662258he was right btw
>>729662258no it was misquoted
>>729654952I feel like the whole main character/party being bad on purpose thing is very hard to pull off and your fighting an uphill battle as a writer. FF13 also tried to do it and everyone hated that too and in that Lightning at least had coomer appeal, unlike Alex Yiik who is a punchable redditor by design
>>729662475it worked in twewy or lisa or nmh.
>>729662598Those characters are not meant to be unlikable to the audience
>>729662794Alex wasn't meant to be either according to pre-launch descriptions.
>>729662830Alex is meant to slowly reveal himself to be a total piece of shit. Putting that in the description would ruin it.
>>729662830YIIK is full of revisionism that morons will claim was always the case just because IV added a shit ton of new content to justify this claim even though there was like 1 line clarifying it before and somehow you were supposed to base the entire narrative of that one line even though the devs flat out said Alex was supposed to be likable and the plot went under several revisions even before IV
vella sexo, post her
>>729659651>>729659662Is that how it works. If I make a game and publish it, do future games now get to use my characters? >>729650884Someone caring enough about their game to keep working on it even after being treated as laughing stock by everyone is highly based desu.
>>729663167>Is that how it works. If I make a game and publish it, do future games now get to use my characters? If that's in the contract you sign with the publisher, yes.
>>729663023I like how you can’t judge the game on what it is, you have to form a meta narrative based on out of context outside information to poorly conceal the fact that you were filtered. Like a certain g*nger
>>729663342The base game is fucking Alex meeting two dumb bitch at a factory/arcade, wasting time with Rory (a character so useless he death has zero impact on anyone), a filler quest to get some fucking record that wastes both the parties and players time, Finding Essentia who then infodumps the entire plot at the last moment which then ends in everyone dying and (You) unplugging the bad guy.I'm glad those two lines made the original narrative super deep and wasn't just onscreen filler that wasted everyone's time because you could literally cut most of the game and nothing changes. Symbolism doesn't mean shit if what happens on screen isn't engaging. YIIK wishes it could land the twist like E33 did
>>729663732YIIK has far more artistic merit than E33
>>729663732E33 is made with 3d scanning, store assets and AI slop. Yiik is made from the heart
>>729663732>YIIK>E33Its really funny to me how similar these two games are on paper
>>729663732yiik is a mess, but it has more merit than that derivative oscar bait.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4Zy298QiU0>"yiik is actually a great game and here's why">spends 7 hours straight pausing the running shine review only to scoff into the mic and call him dumb>doesn't actually counter-argument anything and instead throws semantics to confuse and lead the viewer on into watching the entire thing >hits "stop broadcast" in obs knowing he just wasted 1/3rd of your dayAmazing troll
>>7296397931: the game has 'potential'. If the same ideas were executed slightly better, it would probably legit be a really good game2: it's so bad it's good. It's not The Room level bad ever, but some decisions for the dialogue especially are so baffling or just weird that it's funny3: it's still pretty good. It looks good, sounds good, had a lot of effort put in, and you sure as hell get your money's worth since it's like a 50 hr long game.3.1: the story/lore is still pretty interesting
>>729639212And watch as no one plays it.
>>729663925The expectation that Yiik will be like E33 or Omori is I think why people struggle to understand it so much. E33 and Omori show you a dream world, but the reasons for their existence are stated outright and the “real world” is part of the game.Yiik’s dream world isn’t something Alex can leave, and it asks the player what they think it means
>>729663023Guess what, nobody gives a fuck.
>>729639793Literally me. I'm also a cute 2d girl.
>>729664004Don't act like you played/beat it and don't just suck it off because you warch RunningShine's dated "review". You niggers are so pretentious.
>>729653184
Nameless Psychosis is actually pretty solid, and I would say the worst part of it (and what makes it difficult to actually recommend to people) is that you have to play through YIIK to play Nameless Psychosis.
You can only post ITT if you own YIIK.

>>729666363>I.V was over a year ago>I somehow put 26 hours into YIIK over 3 days
>>729662258I mean his crashout was kind of valid. He spent years of his life on it with his brother and upon release people either cast it off as a woke hipster game or a far right nazi game because of the dead-naming crow at the start. If theres one take away from all this, its that Toby's not going to have your back
For me it's the Essentia
>>729649035>oney said they all got busy so it fell thru. Oney got busy with whathe's not a voice actor he's not a animator so what exactly was he busy with ?
>>729663167considering how incestuous indie games are, yeah, you have to also take into consideration how they use eachother to promote their games, one cheeky poster here, another reference there, hell, they even shared OST musicians with Garoad writing a few themes for YIIK, he deleted his shilling tweets for it though
>>729667039What part of Alex's Psych does she represent? His ideal woman? The idea that any woman would want to deal with a person as self absorbed as Alex?
How is YIIK any worse of an RPG than E33?
>>729664920eat my shit and die
>>729654921There should be a list of all the fixes applied that were mentioned in the running shine video>soul survivor in the sewer looking more like Rory>offsetting the text in the textbox>giving Michael a gun

One day YIIK will take off
>>729642202The two letters in the middle are actually Ls so it's pronounced Yolk
>>729666363My brother
>>729667676Its actually not. YIIK 2.0 has better gameplay than E33. E33 is pure parryslop
>>729654854I want to fuck Michael
>tfw never played yiik and probably never will>tfw yiik thread
>>729666363Reporting in. There's been a lot of YIIKtalk around me the past few weeks.Guess that means it's time to play through it in earnest.
Where's the best place to grab up the IV soundtrack? The added songs are pretty good.
They should really give RS a cut of the profits at this point. Or at least a special thanks in the credits. They are undeniably taking notes. But fucking why do it so literally? Imagine being a game dev and being unable to let go of this fucking mess of a game instead of starting new. They just will not accept rejection. This really inspires me to make my own video review and influence some insecure clingy dev with a shit game and no self awareness. I wonder how many years they will continue to waste on this dipshit project.Also hi melo, ily
>inspired by earthboundI forgot about the part where Nes had a shitty monologue
Literally nobody faggy enough to buy this game is ever going to understand it because it would require having a grip on what reality is and how the entire real world became postmodern of the past 80 years.
>>729671440Inspired, then revolutionized and surpassed
>>729639212Yiik 2: Postpartum

>>729653184When you have to remake your whole game because you forgot about one of the main characters in the first draft.
>>729672219Michael’s story is mostly told on Onism but almost nobody reads that so they moved his janitor behavior on screen
>>729672685My favorite part of onism is Rory's suicide letter written in leetspeak
>>729653184yes another one
I never thought I'd see the day /v/ got completely blown the fuck out by Yiik
>>729671350its so funny that the only way melo communicates with the internet besides the few community posts on the channel is by arcade telling some weird story about him or him showing on her streams like kramer
>>729672160>ChudsJust because the protagonist likes mixed-race women?
>>729654921Alex YIIK. One of the greatest and most attractive characters ever thought up. He can monologue at sound speed, take out enemies with LP Toss, and best of all, he's ginger and knows how to handle the females. Speaking of females, the YIIK universe might also be classified as "Hot Chick Heaven" because there's such a mess of very beautiful and tough women that it will make you love the post-modern RPG even more!
>>729673674No, because YIIK is a game that wants people to stop being delusional and thinking fiction is real, very chuddy
>>729657341>>729657469There may or may not have been a story reason for it but it just came across as the developer really liking vinyl and nintendie shit so he shoehorned it in everywhere.
>>729674658There is a story reason for it the records are his Dad’s
>>729673812Hey, the other YIIK guys are pretty cute too.
>>729653184Is Michael YiiK the true protagonist?
>>729674910Kiss Rory
>>729663732>a filler quest to get some fucking record that wastes both the parties and players timeThis quest makes up a quarter of the game's run time btw and the answer was right in front of you the whole time.
>>729675116I've only played the first dungeon so far so I'm not really in the know, but is Jocasta just a throwaway inclusion in response to the "critiques" or did they make her into something more than tutorial lady?
>>729675852she's the manifestation of alex's desire to fuck his own mom
>>729654854does that trophy goblet thing say zionism lmao
It's fucking pathetic that you retards literally turned this dogshit into le ironic GO BUY IT!!!!!! solely because the developer's discord server does planned threads to promote the game.God you fags are so pathetic
>>729677143He just can't stop winning
>>729652759Has there been a review more synonymous with a game than Running Shine's? I swear it's like the review melds with the game.
>>729639212You made this thread? You know back in the day...
>>729677598
So is YIIK a tranny game or a chud game?
It still makes me laugh every time I remember that it's made by Ackk Studios.
>>729678239You could argue THUG is associated with RS too
>>729678239He really elevated Alex's character for me with his iconic catchphrase "wanna watch me jerk off?"
>>729677531I hope they make a dating sim next, or even better a porn game.
>>729678239Their portrayal of Alex as a racist sex pest sperg is infinitely more entertaining than the actual character.I really wish they would go back and review/riff on I.V too, even though there's probably not much point and it would just be seen as mean spirited.
where are all the yiik likesI need to yiik
>>729667591my guess, he has no meaningful relationships so he uses online forums to fill that need, she is his computer personified as a "surrogate girlfriend experience" only instead of ewhores alex uses forum users or forum culture to serve that roll.
>>729678239> I swear it's like the review melds with the game.It literally does, RS review and several other reviews are baked into IV, you literally cannot fully understand it without the context of those reviews
>>729680871Would you care to elaborate? Because I doubt that you're implying that Alex actually asks a woman if he can jerk off in front of her in IV.
>>729678239A bunch of retro games and AVGN. Plumbers Don't Wear Ties got a modern re-release purely because of the Nerd. Reminder that a ton of iconic PS1/2/3 era games are absent on the PS4/5 store but at least you can buy PDWT!
Im going to say itYIIK after the update isnt a bad game. At worst its a 7/10
>>729681314One day i'll improve this thing but here you go. There's more not on here, like Alex literally doing stand up for the monologues like running shine said or all of the details such as Rory's kiss scene getting a full cutscene because it's the meme scene. Hell the whole concept of memes that invades the newer content is because of the feedback to the game itself, whatever you think about it, you can't separate it when its all included like this verbatim
Is William/OnismMan actually Alex's persona, the other way arould or both are personas of Proto-Alex?
Alex in my opinion is an unlikable protagonist done right. He's not like someone who does horrific shit he's just an annoying faggot you'd probably hate to talk to.
This is the game that keeps on giving
THIS THREAD IS STANDING EXACTLY WHERE MY SISTER DIED
>>729682301William is most likely Alex's idealized self if anything that's why he's always connected to essentia his ideal woman.
>>729639212Literally only /v/ likes this game.
>>729682450Why did you let her die??
>>729682637It's very 4chan core but nobody wants to admit that. People forget that Alex is a shitposter and even believes some of the girls he was in highschool and college probably would end up doing porn.
honestly really fucking commendable the dev never gave up on this dogshit ass gamenever gonna touch it with a ten foot pole but i can appreciate the effort
Alright time to watch the review again.
Is this the explotaition 33 I've been hearing so much about?
>>729682965no this is actually worth your time
>>729678609Yes
>>729662348No you weren't, Andrew.
>>729667951What's up with this guy's character design compared to everyone else? It looks like someone photoshopped his hoodie into hair.
>>729682301The Onism Man is a demon/idea embodying Essentia's tulpa, the King (her ideal boyfriend)The meme of the King is being spread through Onism; people who read it and meet their parallel selves typically succumb to despair and are a suitable host. William and Alex are both potential hosts.Wilfrid, the current host, went proto and Essentia wants to divorce from him and get a new husband because going proto is transcending the patterns of your soul and he's stronger than her since he's the masculine, acting force in the fusionI'm not 100% sure on the details but it's important to understand that Essentia is the closest thing the game has to the "original real person"
>>729682450Not now, Rory! I'm about to go fuck a robot!
>>729682906They only complete lost their minds in the process, and for no financial gain to boot. The aspiring indie developer archetype in it's purest form
>>729682637And that should tell you everything you need to know about the average /v/tard.
>>729683260His hair was his hoodie at one point
>>729654921Devs, pretend they haven't saw it still when it was obvious they have.now people in the yiik discord just say its a bad video, and when questioned on what was bad. theirs just no resposneor maybe they went back and said it was a good video now that v1.4 is out and its still boring as fuck.
>>729683260Thats exactly what happened
>>729683402The video is hilarious but he doesn't understand the game and doesn't want to.
>>729648976>I just bought this game fuck the haters
>>729662794neku is very much an unlikeable prick in the first week. It was bad enough that I dropped the game on my first time.thankfully he gets his shit together halfway thru week 1
>>729683495He clearly does because several of his recommendations got put in the game. You can’t acknowledge that if there isn’t some level of understanding
>>729678239i like this video because it's not just mindless shitting on things that don't really matter. like theirs another yiik review video titled worse game of all time which is objectivity not true and its just some teen desperately trying to fit in calling everything le heckin cringe and its like okay dude i actually did play yiik, and everything running said was pretty much on pointyou could not get a more accurate review.too bad that Running stopped making videos and his last 3 videos are kind of ass desuHe kinda peaked here, the oot one is fine i suppose
>>729683495To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand YIIK: A Postmodern RPG. The narrative is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of postmodern philosophy, semiotics, and late-90s irony, most of the themes will go over a typical player’s head. There’s also Alex’s deeply alienating worldview, which is deftly woven into his characterization — his personal philosophy draws heavily from Kierkegaard, EarthBound discourse, and obscure vinyl-only indie bands, for instance.The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of YIIK’s dialogue, to realize that it’s not just cringe — it says something profound about EXISTENCE. As a consequence, people who dislike YIIK truly ARE philistines — of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the genius of Alex earnestly declaring himself the most important person in the universe, a line that is itself a biting deconstruction of player narcissism and RPG protagonism.I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons mashing the skip button in confusion as YIIK’s brilliance unfolds itself on their screens. What fools… how I pity them. And yes, by the way, I DO own the YIIK vinyl soundtrack. And no, you cannot listen to it. It’s for the enlightened ears only — and even then, they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
>>729683376>>729683427For what purpose?
>>729683683Idk if they touched it up a little, it could be funny, the ideas amusing enough.Probably not a good idea giving it to the guy with a dead sister
>>729683604>too bad that Running stopped making videos and his last 3 videos are kind of ass desuYeah, about that.
>>729681604PDWT is genuinely a funny shitpost game worth to check out. AVGN did a lot of damage by making everyone believe game is shit. Same applies to Lester the Unlikely and Pepsiman and what RS did with Yiik
I'm enjoying hamsterson's lp to be desu senpai
>>729683617>poison dungeon with meme enemies>go into a room>some guy babbles about stupid shit for 10 mins about his friend being a retard>leave>suddenly whitey bad racial politics for another 5>back to scooby doo adventuresgenius
>>729683884Missing white woman syndrome isn't a whitey bad thing though. It's specifically you pay more attention to a white person going missing kind of thing.
>>729683495It was why the video got popular since its memes and referencing shitposts without any actual substance or commentary
>>729639212Anytime YIIK isn't on screen people should be asking "Where's YIIK?" "If only YIIK were here" and "What the helly I'm YIIK -ing out right now"
any reason i should play this game in it's current state or should i wait for the update?
reminder they were so embarrassed about the lemonade alpaca they redid the entire sequence to make it as le epic anime as possibly to lean into the joke and now its retarded and boring https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R-w8T0isVMthey fully missed the point, the issue is the 10 mins of babbling about really simple shit you overexplain to the point its far more complex before your stupid meme boss
>>729683590I think anon meant the story, not the gameplay aspects. I don't blame anyone who doesn't understand it though, because the story is just confusing.
I love talking about racial issues in front of mario bros. flags!
>>729684085I mean the karta system is fun to make broken builds. I managed to make a broken item dependent build that always gave me max HP and PP.
>>729684240NO BBC EQUALS ANGER
>>729683884>NO BBC EQUALS ANGER
>>729684294>>729684305YOU UPSET YOU MAD AT THESE AFRICAN COCKS, THESE RHINO DICKS!
>>729684206his point was never to critique the actual story beats, who cares. his point was that story was not worth remotely getting invested in with characters and the way its told being extremely lacking which is true. how you say something is more important than what you actually say.if you took ff7 ps1 storyline and removed all of the fun parts that made you even care about the cast, and slot in 5 hours of characters talking about what it means to be yourself or some shit.people wouldn't have liked the game even if the story beats were the exact same
>>729684240They kept this in, except now there’s a GB creepypasta filter over it
>>729639793this is unironically the strength of sincere ideas and auteurism. YIIK, a game made based on what one guy thinks is awesome, has infinitely more staying power than Expedition 33, a game designed to be 'the best game ever'
>>729684112Holy shit. That's just sad now.
>>729684380>his point was never to critique the actual story beats, who cares70% of the video is him retelling the plot beat for beat
>>729684471yeah its a playthrough of a game with stopping to make fun or point out something done badly. the story is obviously going to be involved, but he mostly points out the flaws in how its told or unneeded pseduo bullshit. i feel like we're going to argue in circles, and you really just won't get the point,keep on living as yiiks strongest solider
I just started and Im like an hour in. The opening cutscene and gameplay segment is ?????? but I dont think its a bad framing device to get you interested. Alex is honestly hilarious. Hes so up his own ass that its absurd and I cant help but like him.
>>729684471>retelling the plot beat for beatWhich is why he failed to understand it at all?
>>729683495The video is a little nit picky but it was pretty much the only one that got it right about Yiik, and how it just didn't execute its ideas properly. Every other review was just shitting on Alex being pretentious and annoying when thats the whole point of his character
>>729682720Reminder that Rory's sister killed herself because she was being bullied for him being a homo who starred in gay pornos
>>729684765She was being bullied because her mom was a trailer trash whore who fucked most of their dad and the fact Rory might've done a gay porno.
Is Iwata's grave still in the game?
>>729684085bro i.v came out over a year ago what are you on about
>>729684874Yeah it's still pretty fynny
>>729661825I know it's like an art term or something like that, which makes it instant faggotry in my eyes.
>>729661825If you're so smart explain post modernism in your own words.
>>729639793Most shitty indie games have nowhere near as much effort
>>729684874>Let's put his grave in this depressing shithole town as an homage
>>729684654He will do stuff like>we go here and talk to THIS FUCKERBut he doesn’t tell you what the fucker talked about or whyAnd he even skips over a lot of fuckersHe’s constructing a story to tell viewers, not interpreting the game. And it’s fine to say “this wasn’t interesting to me” but that’s not what he’s doing
>>729684927i thought the video posted in the op was for the new update
>>729685034>>729685101postmodern but heres a nes walk cycle and references to the 90s because i onions when someone references ff7 so why wouldn't you
>>729684629That stuff wasn’t in the original, the original starts with Alex getting off the bus and>On April 4th, 1999The surrealist stuff was all added in IV to make it clearer that you’re meant to be skeptical
>>729685165it's not interesting to anyonethat's the point anon. nobody cares, the game doesn't give you a reason to care. in highschool some kid handed me his first few pages of his scifi novel to read and i got deja vu watching that video because its the same issues. i barely made it to the 2nd page when i realized it was just jerking off its own setting of stupid "im smart" shit instead of giving me a reason to actually want to learn about it
>>729685315You can use that complaint for anything because I can withhold my care from anything for any reason.
>>729685442okay anon. brilliant no u. yes yiik is actually a masterpiece and people just don't understand it. im sure wehn they redo all of the combat again this time people will actually like it maybe if they make it even more heckin anime and le trippy
>>729685209You didn't explain anything! Could someone please! Tell me what the hell is Postmodernism without being a giant faggot?
>>729685538Yiikbashers being eternally cringe as always Get a hobby you dork
remember that yiik ends with the devs putting in a character from a game they didn't finish bitching nobody liked it am i too stupid to understand the meaning of this
>>729685575nou is all you got? I accept your concession.
>>729685538>yes yiik is actually a masterpiece and people just don't understand it.Thank you
>>729685670The point is Alex likes the game but never actually played it. That's why he's wearing a couple kyodai shirt.
>>729643050wtf even is his and Julians problem it just sounds like "people think im funny online, this is bad"i remember seeing a tweet Julian made that was just like>i imagine landfills of plushies rotting with my faceokay one you were not that popular ever, and twowho cares. lol
>>729685854the point is the dev thought the millions of fans he imagined yiik would have would go back and find value in roy as a character and try that gamethe entire end dialog of yiik is this nigger just trying to guilt trip the audience with "oh i really tried hard"
should I just buy YIIK at this point
>>729686075Yiikbros, we got him
>>729686075I mean it's cheap as hell currently so you don't really lose much.
>>729686075Its /v/ core
i really hope this is them trying to redo yiik a third time for the funny factorthese guys spent 1/9th of their mortal coil if they die the average age of a man now trying to get this game to be liked lmaomove on
>>729686353What have you done with 1/9th of your mortal coil, smart guy?
YIIIK
>>729686435not make a shit game lolkojima was planning mgs4 from the release of mgs1 in the same time frame that these guys have been cooking uo the same dogshit
>>729686435Weirdly defensive
>>729684765>>729684845Wait what?
yiik 1.5 was a mistake, i get the appeal of a redemption arc but it would have honestly just been better financially and mentally to distance yourself from the original and just take it as a learning experience
>>729686753I like IV because I can look for the third ending without wanting to shoot myself when combat starts
>>729686753I dunno, in my opinion I think they salvaged what they could and made some pretty good changes
I think YIIK I.V. was pretty good but most people that didn't like yiik to begin with will probably still hate it. At least it got some new people to at least try it out.
>>729686725His suicide note mentions that he was "superimposed" in gay pornoshttps://www.onism1999.com/95993-2.html
>>729666547LEMONADE
>>729653184I'm just watching joe stream the initial version, why does michael have a fucking gun in the lastes update?????
>>729686725Rory's mom is also the young girl Alex's dad ended up knocking up and staying with for a bit.
reminder that toby fox won so hard by deleting his yiik tweet and never mentioning it again
I don't get why people talk about Toby fox's mid song when bo en's song is way better
>>729687371>toby betrays yiik>starts to surround himself with notorious backstabbing women on his projectsIts only a matter of time until he faces his own Y2K
>>729666363It got 40 hours out of me. Not bad really but I don't think it's in a state, even now, where I could call it a good game.It's really kind of funny and it's really kind of sad the player count of YIIK is the lowest a game has ever had.
>>729687371When shit goes down, Toby's not gonna have your back.
>>729666363I've been planning on making three videos where I analyze YIIK in three different ways.
>>729687370Oh no that was obvious. Thats a major plot point.>>729687005I cant believe I missed that. No wonder you can attempt to kiss Rory.
>>729687723Seems like most of the onism shit is really easy to miss
>>729687497im completely expecting toby to be canceled before the end of deltarune and completely blacklisted. you can't be the golden boy of indie gaming without making enemies.
>>729687776Nobody kills Rory to get that post it requires you to intentionally be an asshole and despite everyone claiming they don’t love the characters everyone who actually plays the game likes Rory and him being able to kill himself was only found by data mining
>>729687776A lot of people don't really read the onism posts even though that's where you find your non storyline related quests.
>>729663023>"Alex was supposed to be likable">the same alex that didn't want to get a job even after her mom was fired>the same alex that told rory that "no one cares about your dead sister">the same alex that was so retarded he didn't even think of reading the text in the jacket of the vinyl they where looking for>etc. etc. etc.I don't care what your imagined dev interview says, anyone that has half a brain would realize that alex was written to be a pathetic unlikeable loser from version 1.
>>729687497to be fair hiring that bitch is toby's only Lhe will learn from it when it bites him in the ass
>>729686753IV was a huge improvement though and I think the game is at a point he can take pride in even if it's still flawed and obviously not selling.I mean, if he was struggling financially to the point developing the game was seriously fucking with his life or something to that effect, sure. Otherwise, I don't see the harm. Hopefully he learned enough about actual game making to apply to his future projects because no matter what people may think about the writing of YIIK, the gameplay itself was fucking horrible and IV was a huge improvement but still a little dry with several annoyances.The writing and characters definitely overshadowed how tedious the game can feel to play.
I want a Look Outside x YIIK collab.
>>729687886The rape scene in deltarune is also a giant L because there's no way he didn't realize the implications with that imagery.
>>729687857>VA for Rory is really embarrassed over his performance despite it being perfect for the character and generally memorable>Constantly apologizing for it and saying the devs really wanted him as the voice despite being unsure himself>also gets Parkinson's life's a bitch
>>729685670Because Yiik builds on the same concepts of Two Brothers they take place in the same metaphysical space People can’t find the third ending because they haven’t played Two Brothers
>>729688054Wait the third ending being connected to two brothers actually makes a lot of sense.
>>729688051He did a good job as Rory, I can't imagine him having any other voice. Yuri is Rory and Rory is him
>>729687884perhaps>you're supposed to like him by the end of it or want to give him a second chanceWhich also wasn't true and even the ending of Benevolent Psychosis touches on that.
>>729645382...got patched out and replaced with a shitty anime parody
>>729653713He blames Alex for having to move away from Alex/Rory's little sister who was his first gf. It's really not Alex' fault but there were bad circumstances.
>>729686075do you have 10 dollars and a lighter?
>>729688168I think most of the YIIK voice cast works. I think it's cool that most of the voice actors are from new grounds or YouTube. Anthony Sardina is the same guy who did that part 3 ova JoJo abridged series.
>>729663023iirc he said he was supposed to be unlikable but changes later
>>729688268Michael talks like he killed himself and wanted Alison to die with him>my family’s moving north but I’m moving up
>>729688334From Andrew's mouth he said "He's an unlikable piece of shit protagonist that SHOULD change"
>>729688334Alex “has to change by the end of the game” but he doesn’t unless the player interferes the problem is nobody knows how to interfere so YiikII was created as a cope option
praise for this game makes me feel autistic because i cant tell if its geniune or ironic/performative
>>729688470Don't give up buddy.
>>729688470Bro what if like you just Played the game and formed your own opinion or something?????
>>729688358Yeah. the dude was a psycho. Even if Alex was an autistic retard a lot, he was never that bad.
>>729639212I'm not going to play this shit but I'm definitely going to rub one out to Vella porn in celebration for all you Yiik bros.
It's kind of funny that Alex inadvertently tortures Michael by turning him into a forever janny for him.
>>729688470it's mostly ironic and part shilling>postmodern in the bloody title
>>729678609It's a post modern game.
YIIK yourself
>>729688816I like how the alternate Michael is a genie because he’s forced to grant Alex’s wishes
>>729639793it's your creative desires seeking an outletcriticizing is easier than making so it comes out as that firstyou guys should do anything creative, even making overly workshopped shitposts would count
Yiik is deeper than Lain
>>729639793Schadenfreude.>>729642202Why two kay, unironically. But I like YICK for meme value.
>>729639212Amazing how all it took was some popular e-celeb playing this shit to completely turn popular opinion around on it.
I’m already half Onism Man
>>729689121Who?
is it better to just laugh from a distance or should I actually play it?
>>729689319Play itttt Yiik is schizo kinoI feel so bad for people who don’t get to play it blind
>>729639212>SPECIAL YIIK ANNOUNCEMENT DROPPING NEW YEARSSo did they find a new book to plagerize lines from?
>>729689319Play it so you could say something you actually disliked while playing the game.
>>729689426Toby Fox plagiarizes a lot
>>729689121nobody is playing or paying attention this game and of the few that do, opinion is largely>still bad but in a much better spot
>>729689319The game is interesting but can drag a bit. If you're playing it just to say you did and/or don't generally have patience for games to begin with, you'd be wasting your time/money
completely hilarious that this thread is 90% of Andrew Allanson's fucking discord just replying to each other, no, retard, you should not buy this dogshit game, it isn't even funny bad it's just BAD, you must be completely fucking braindead if you fall for this discord raid bullshit that they've been proven to pull on here.
>>729690192Proof? Otherwise I'm going to assume it's schizophrenic ramblings.
Well if it's on the level of KotoR2...
>>729685101Post-modernism is a philosophical movement that emerged after the end of WW2, the core of the movement is the idea that there is no actual reality, all of reality is people's perception of it, so we can't know anything for certain outside that frame of reference. The movement is the reason our fiction today looks nothing like and does not reflect reality in any non-superficial way. You could look at YIIK from the perspective of "Alex spent so long absorbed in validating power fantasies and video games that he began to see life as a game without realizing it" and then he goes on to destroy the world because he simply believes he is the main character, and that mentality leads real life nations to destruction.
>>729686882I like IV because of Jocasta's fat tits
>>729690308It was leaked from the discord server faggot as if you aren't already in there, people leaked messages of them making threads to astroturf the game pre-launch & once the running shine video came out to capitalize on it and make it a fucking "LE EPIC MEME GAME" to boost sales, ESPECIALLY once the "huge redemption patch" came out. You fucking faggots are sheep
Is YIIK's soundtrack also shit? I never bothered to look into it.
>>729690528Post the proof then
>>729690557The soundtrack is decent there's some shit songs but there are a lot of good ones too.
>>729689024Unironically, NOBODY understands YIIK, I don't even think the developers do. Because to understand what YIIK is about you would have to not be the game's target demographic.
>>729639793YIIK is hilarious because1) It's an indie game which they obviously put a lot of effort into 2) The game however is still bad3) Alex is the definition of unlikeable cunt4) Some instances of the game are bad in incredibly funny ways (LEMONADE)If this was just yet another of those low effort cheap indie slops no one would give a shit, The fact that they put so much work and effort into it yet the final product is still such a huge mess makes it fascinating.
>>729690583proof is I was there when the game dropped and saw it shilled on here endlessly by his discord server and then saw the comments from them to make threads once the running shine video came out, I can guarantee you're in that same fucking server needlessly making these faggoty fucking threads with your friends as you've been caught doing for years now
>>729690893You are schizo. This game has become a joke everywhere. Maybe this started out as a psycho 4chan mission - or not like who the fuck cares. At this point YIIK is known as a shitpost on every site.
>>729690192You can tell this because people get extremely defensive around YIIK for absolutely no reason and know every single thing about the dev’s intentions and the interviews (none of which should be required reading to enjoy).I don’t know why YIIK needs to be a “great game”, it’s like they know nobody actually cares enough to play the update so they stick around gaslighting the people that actually did bother and have normal opinions (aka the games still fucking flawed).
>chuddies are getting pissed again about the Yiik comebackThe game is good now. Deal with it
>>729691038you are actually delusional if you think this game has any reach whatsoever outside of these threads and Andrew's friends who make and post in them, those tweets are the people FROM THESE FRIENDS YOU FUCKING RETARD
>>729689543i remember playing yume nikki for the first time and seeing just how much was directly lifted from there(and im not just talking about Uboa)
>>729691061Yiikers don’t concern ourselves with the opinions of sheep (You) Yiik is a Great Game
>>729691184Meds now
>>729690192>>729690528>>729690893>>729691061>>729691184Nigger youre fucking delusional. I swear to god youre having a goddamn mental breakdown over people discussing YIIK and that MAYBE people actually like it.Does EVERY game need a dedicated schizo?
>>729687319Probably Running Shine.>Get a gun, you goofy fuck!
>>729692147Alex YIIK himself raped that anon in the cold winter of 92
>>729687776Nobody cares about onism, even though the devs desperately wanted you to.
>>729687857It’s more like your average player isn’t going to be an asshole if they have a choice, even if they dislike the characters.
>>729692410Its at that point now is it? Is there an alex edit of HIM?
>>729678239I think he’s the reason why Michael ended up getting a gun out of nowhere.
>>729692382The funny thing is that he was directing that more at Chondra and Alex than at Michael
>>729690762I think there are characters far more unlikeable than Alex, and that there isn’t a single likable character in the entire game.
Wouldn't it be funny if the reveal was two brothers is finally finished and they're releasing it January 1st
>>729692902Epic Yap Battle
>>729692147I think you need to step outside of 4chan anon, the game isn't good at all whatsoever
>>729694640Nta but they never said yiik was good
yiik on the iick
>>729688054>lock true ending behind game you literally can't buy any moregenius
>>729694726why do you people reddit speak? I know that "nta" is """not that anon""" but it sounds like you're just doing faggoty fucking dae get sad???? baka bullshit, it's embarrassing
