HOLY SHIT
WHATS HAPPENINGWHAT THE HELL IS GOING ONWHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING
The only reason YIIK is even still talked about is because like 2-4 YouTube "essayists" gave themselves stocklholms syndrom talking about the game. Nobody cares about this shit heap.

>>729748318yaik
>>729750560>on the surface
>>729746996I've planned to try this for years, but an unknown aura of menace comes over me when I consider purchasing it.
>>729750560I remember disliking this video because the joke about YIIK's name was really unfunny but everything after that is great.
>>729747083>there will be no yiiking out in this thread
>>729750118her design always looked out of place in the game
This is your LAST chance to apologise, gamers.
>>729752026funny how the yiik defenders in the last thread completely ignored what andrew says about alex there
>>729752026He's right. Hard lesson.
I'm not sure why the devs pays for marketing on here. It does not improve sales.
>>729752026He is right but also he’s playing a characterHe’s on the Dick Show the point is to act like a dick
>>729752026He's not wrong. The game's themes are pretty blatant yet people took one glance at Alex and thought that the game was trying to glorify his retardation, when the whole game was about picking him apart
>>729752334People were pretty retarded about it and didn't have failed basic story literacy.
>>729752334>>729752026Bullshit, you can make a game with an unlikeable protagonist, just make sure to tell the audience beforehand, in the case of yiik it looked like a self insertthe author cannot just ignore the political environment we live in and people;s expectations and then act like an asshole about itFuck you
>>729752539Good news for you buddy, they dumbed things down and made it easier for brainlets for you to understand
>>729752637>still ignoring realityArt adapts to people not the other way around
>>729752026>The story I wrote was not understood the way I wanted by most people>the audience is to blameyou picked your audience, retard
>>729752539>just make sure to tell the audience beforehandyou are so fucking stupid lmfao
>>729752837I dont see why.Pretty much everyone that knows yiik exists still thinks Alex is a self insert and that the writer is being unironic with him
>>729752734>Art is like THIS. Not like THATFeel free to open a book anytime my guy
the funniest thing about YIIK is that /v/ is the only place autistic enough to understand it
>>729753009You can do what you want but dont write a book in a made up language, never provide a translation, and then cry you are a misunderstood artist
>>729750118I like how they designed her tits to spill to the sides of her overalls
>>729753080I bet that sounded so smart in your head
>>729752026It's a trvke
>>729753112No but I bet your ego sounded so unwounded with that nonsequitur
>>729753080Ah yes because the game doesn't put a disclaimer saying "YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO LIKE ALEX, HE IS A SHITTY PERSON", its like the game is written in a made up language. Wowza. I guess every character in the game making fun of him and scolding him is just too subtle for the human mind
>>729753112you really shouldn't post if you're out of arguments to make, it's just kind of sad
>>729753197oh man you're actually mad about yiik lmao get a fucking grip
>>729752026A bad game is a bad game, even if it's on purpose. >>729752334What themes? Be specific.>>729752420What did they misunderstand about the story? Be specific.>>729752637What did they change to make it easier to understand? Be specific.This game is not some deeply misunderstood masterpiece made by a genius.
>>729753562not him but you're clearly the mad one in this exchange, you basically stopped being able to refute him and switched to >ur stupid! stupidhead! instead
>>729753569>PLEASE PLEASE SPOONFEED MENo.
>>729753562>u madIts been a whileAnyways WHERE IS MY VAGUELY ETHNIC GF
>>729753621>not him but you're clearly the mad one in this exchangebe so for real>switched toI didn't "switch" I'm not whoever you're talking about
>>729753018/v/ is also the only place autistic enough to have a meltdown when they don't understand it
Okay, you faggots. I'm already drunk and these threads have piqued my interest for long enough. Should I buy the fucking game or is this all one big joke?
>>729752026there are a lot of games with unlikable protagonists that people still enjoy though, the problem with yiik is that it was a horrible game to actually play on literally every angle, and even the big update just made it a lot less painful to get through with some neat gimmicks instead of actually good. for a game that name drops a bunch of classic snes rpgs, it learning literally nothing about them and seeming almost ashamed of them puts you in a really bad mood and it makes all the ironic/bad on purpose stuff piss you off and assume the dev is a moron or hates you instead of the intended cheeky response.if he thinks making a game that's fun is too empowering and means alex isn't enough of a loser he should've just made a VN or something and cut the earthbound shit entirely
>>729753857It used to be a joke and then they overhauled the whole game and added a sequel as post-game content. Its absolutely worth it now. Probably one of the best redemption arcs in awhile
>>729753730>hehe I'm not him I just didn't read the entire exchange before replyingnot the own you think it is
>>729750560It triggers me how often he cuts to black as punctuation.
>>729753857Yiik is actually good but it is very very very heavily based on literature and requires you to understand story beyond “the thing that provides context for the gameplay”
gonna sober up so I can analyze the game properly and then I'm going to play YIIK into 2026, hopefully I haven't been tricked because I've been tricked before
>>729754712don't forget to come to church and break bread with your fellow yiik enthusiasts
>>729754712>alex deleted>Micheal is the protagonistBased.
>>729746996>7 hours leftI CAN'T FUCKING TAKE IT ANYMORE JUST RELEASE THE YIIK FILES ALREADY
>>729753868There's really no pay-off to suffering through the entire game, either. Nothing that makes the 30+ hours worth it. Not a cool combat system or a chance to make the right choices that make him see the error of his ways or break out of the digital soul doohickey that traps him inside a doomed RPG plotline. No way to call out the rest of the party members. No way to reconcile with them either. You go through all that shit, endure all the terrible battles, all the tedious mechanics, all the wasted time, and then you get NG+ where you suffer even more for the sake of a plot that is now completely lost in its own ass, trying to pull complex meta-narratives about constructing false realities inside false realities with a director who is literally named after the fucking writer of the game's discord alias, so you can get some wishy-washy message about how (You) or someone who is meant to be (You) needs to learn a lesson about letting go of obsessions or sins or how you should be nicer to your friends (but also your friends suck and you should ignore them anyways) and all of that doesn't even apply to anyone but the exact kind of insecure faggot the writer truly is.
>>729752026The cosmic scale chasm between "I wanted to" and successfully executing that specific intention is why Andrew Allanson is such a huge faggot. He WANTED to make a deep game. He didn't. He made a pretentious game. People made fun of him for his bad writing and his poor storytelling skills and his pretentious, self-defeating obsessions with authors and creators far more talented than he could ever be. Instead of accepting that, the literal message of his fucking game that he wrote, he ran to some shitty faggot's podcast and cried like a baby because no one liked or bought his game
>>729753569>What did they change to make it easier to understand? Be specific.They stapled on an entirely new narrative with a larger plot about Michael and a director and an actress and how the entire game is meant to be a message made to cause a "religious experience" in a certain person, who isn't exactly Alex, but he's like Alex, and that's supposed to mean something. What ends up happening is that the first 30-40 hours of the game are just setting up the same exact terrible fucking plot as before. Fake reality, manipulated by Essentia, Proto-Alex, lies, etc... and then throws that all out the window to set up a new plot which has less Alex in it, but even more obtuse metaphysical bullshit, and it all reads like the Allansons seething and malding that no one understood their game originally, so they wrote an entirely new plot that directly explains itself (while still being muddy and pretentious as fuck) which arrives at a wildly different, more complicated ending that in no way existed in any part of the original game or its script, but they're pretending like this new plot was always the intended and clear message of YIIK.
>>729746996All I remember is watching an oneyplays of it and fucking christ was the game stupid as shit. Which made it great material for them to shit on. Pretentious self-important passive aggressive navel gazing arrogant nerd faggotry. Like if fucking Brian Griffin made a game
>>729755923>which arrives at a wildly different, more complicated ending that in no way existed in any part of the original game or its scriptYiik 2 is the cope version of the 3rd ending since nobody except like 2 people figured it out
>>729757193I'm not convinced the secret ending exists, either way. IV adds some other endings and secret bosses and shit, but the rumors of an extra special super secret ending that no one has found, combined with the dev footage hidden on youtube just seems like a really gay way to make people keep playing the game and talking about it.
>>729750201Okay. I will.
>>729746996>Ackk Studios
>>729758262You just know
Well Im curious whatever this isI hope for more DLC with an even stupider story
So with yiik 4 is the game actually good now despite from it being the morbius of video games?
>>729760036No the game will never be good, but at least now its not very painful to play.
