YIIK: A Post Modern RPG / Ackk Studios / Andrew Allanson - "I wanted to make a game with a protagonist who was very unlikeable" - From Someone who is equally unlikeable. Currently developing Version I.V (1.5)

Like, Alex is "you from another dimension", him being a whiny gamer hipster engaging in escapism feels like Andrew saying you are not so different from him deep inside.
This is one of the most important 4th wall breaking rules - "Never assume something negative about the consumer". You can call out fanbases, you can even playfully hint of a less than moral reason why the player sticks to the media, but when you call out the player for something, even if it will be true for the majority, whoever doesn't fit the category is going to be pissed and probably the people who fit it as well.

Doesn't the Undertale Genocide ending basically do that?

Some people managed to get Semi into their party during the final fight with ONISM Man. I wonder how.

And that's why it sucks balls.
In that case the player deliberately chose that ending despite multiple chances to not do so. I don't think it's the same thing.
No it's bad, it has a big lore reveals and tough boss battles so you'd be missing out if you skip it but the game will moralfag you for seeing its content.

While it's bad, it still fits what Markass said. You do have to go out of your way to get Genocide, and there's a few things meant to make it an absolute pain to get and wind up into the normal ending out of frustration.

"You killed everyone just for big lore dumps" just doesn't sound too deep, obviously.
 
I never finished Undertale. It looked like something a 14 year old girl would probably get more enjoyment out of it and it wasn't entertainingly bad enough for me to wanna continue.

It's one hour, which isn't even that long compared to both new and old RPG bullshit. Definitely more fun that doing a lesbian date to hook up two psychopaths.
 
Say what you want about YIIK, but it doesn't have that beyond a joke, true.

Though of course some people are trying to meme lesbianism between the main playable character of Benevolent Psychosis and the person who murders her.

Yuri fags are even more obnoxious than fujoshi.
 
It's absolutely true. I am the sweating man when given the choice between two buttons which eliminate one of the two.
 
The problem with Alex is that he's just some upper middle class liberal twit.

And to be fair, those are kind of ruining the world by the evil of only caring about their own facile bullshit, but that's not enough to cement them as evil. He doesn't even act casually racist, homophobic, or anything.

The game tries to imply he's a racist for even thinking Claudio might be able to pick a lock, except Claudio can in fact pick multiple kinds, thus undermining whatever point it was trying to make.

In other words, this game suffers from the same kind of sanitized inability to write villains as slop like, say, Dragon Age the Veilguard.
My favorite underrated moment from alex is him taking twenty bucks if you go to his mothers dresser in the opening. At rhe same tume, there is a character selling a kickstarter for a video game magazine that he needs ten dollars for. Going into trash cans can only get you 9.87 dollars, so the only way to become the biggest backer is to steal that money.
 

Haven't even watched the interview. Like a minute in and the "woman" the guy is interviewing has a voice that's so masculine I wonder if he's even trying. Legit had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.
The opening video of the bald guy was bad enough. That "woman" sounds horrendous, and his voice is annoying on a molecular level. Turns out that he's married and was playing Pokémon during his wedding as well:

I tried to post his horrific introduction video, but it won't upload for some reason.

Which one is the wife and which one is the swinub?
 
The interview is informative at least. If you can suffer through a weird troon voice. Glad to hear that YIIK did at least turn a profit. As retarded and weird as Andrew "Colonel Sanders" Allanson can be, I don't want him to fuck off from the industry.

At least it wasn't an interview with the two fat faggot play testers from Flag Town, I guess.
