Would you deem this valid criticism, /vr/?
>>12025756it's not a criticism of anything.
>>12025756Harsh... but fair
>>12025809
>>12025756This coming from the people who are now infamous for how bullshit their games were compared to the games of the company they are criticizing here that are considered classics today?
>>12025920yes, retard, i know what loom is. that screenshot is no a "criticism" of loom.
>>12025756>Latex Babes of EstrosIs this a reference to Leather Goddesses of Phobos?
>>12025924>t. morrie brianarty
>>12025934It's mocking that it has a lack of NPCs, puzzles, and that you can't die.
>>12025934It obviously is, are you slow?
>>12025935>Scratch n SniffOh boy!
>>12025756LucasArts won and they lost
>>12025995What did they win?
>>12026027Public appeal, being known as the guys that fixed adventure games instead of the retards sending you pixel hunting and with retarded moon logic games.
>>12026027Essentially producing the closest thing to something positively remembered about the genre, while Sierra's output became the prime example of everything wrong with it. I'm not saying it's fair, just stating the facts.Anyway, considering how at the time Sierra devs didn't know this yet and consistently outperformed the Lucas games in terms of sales, the level of seething displayed in that >>12025756 "jab" was kinda puzzling.
>>12025920and the post-holocaust parts are in reference to Trinity, also by Moriarty
>>12025963>>12025969you both have autism and can't tell a goofy joke from real criticism.
>>12026080I'm pretty sure it was a friendly rivalry, LucasArts made fun of Sierra too.
>>12025756>criticismIt's just one company taking a cheeky little stab at another company, that kind of thing is fairly common throughout time.
ScumSoft bros, how do we respond?
>>12026139Yeah, the incensed bitchiness of the joke doesn't really reflect the intent, just the limited ingenuity of the people that made it.
This is fascinating, kids are so irony poisoned that they can't understand the mentality behind a parody isn't any real hatred. Roasts must confuse the fuck out of them.
>>12026096this has a comic book manual
>>12026189That's a weird conclusion, though I agree their closer experience with irony may make them expect a joke to be a joke by construction, not just context.
>>12026251You simply don't understand the purpose of the joke, due to irony poisoning, which is acknowledgement and praise.
>>12026189Where is the joke? "Your game is shit" is the joke?
>>12026270Case in point. Fundamentally doesn't get it.
>>12026270Don't bother anon, he seems to be genuinely autistic
>>12026276I accept your concession.
>haha lol what if loom was called COOM and it would be like a porn game lmao>and then the protagonist would be called... throbbin buttbare hahahatruly a cutting, merciless takedown of loom
>>12026293>>12026275
>>12026265>>12026275Speaking of generational traits, is there anything more characteristic of yours than truth achieved by aggressive repetition?
>>12026305You have to repeat things to get through to some people who are purposefully obtuse.>yoursWhich would mine be? Note I'm not tilting at "generations" I'm mocking "kids", who could be of several "generations".The fact is that this is a parody joke where they replaced one letter of a title and then extrapolated from this while mocking some elements, Loom becomes Boom about bombs. Why would they do this you ask? What's the point? Praising the game.
>>12026338Usually arguing your point rather than simply repeating yourself helps but, again, that's a generational thing. You can't help how you were taught any more than the "kids" could.
>>12026293that's pretty funny
>>12026376I'm self-taught, there was no online generation before me. :)>Usually arguing your point rather than simply repeating yourself helpsDon't have kids, huh?
>>12026265Are you seriously trying to pull a "You need a high ID to understand this joke" when it's clear that it was more than just a joke?
>>12026846I said it's more than a joke in the post you are replying to, it's acknowledgement and praise. You have irony poisoning and think everything is mean-spirited rather than tongue-in-cheek.
>>12026861>irony poisoning>irony poisoning>irony poisoningJust because you heard a buzzword and are repeating it like a child that just learned to swear doesn't make you intelligent, it's clearly mocking the game.
>>12026189Modern zoomers have this strange, alien concept of being unable to comprehend "taking the piss" out of something. If something gets derided even lightly, it MUST be trash, it MUST suck, you MUST hate it, and it MUST be an endearing form of critique.I have no idea where this shit comes from.
>>12027021>Modern zoomersPeople have been this way on internet since before the zoomer were born
>>12025995>Who sold more Sierra >Who is loved by modern gaymersLucas >Absolute Sierra victory
>>12027007You are irony poisoned, there's no better way to put it, you no longer know good-natured mockery from legitimate criticism from a mean-spirited attack. Again, this isn't a generational thing, it's a "you specific kids I'm talking to" thing.>mockingYes, brother, that's called a compliment. Like, have you ever seen a roast?
