@applejack you cant be telling me right now that you'd enjoy a game that has shitty music and sfx, ass graphics, and a boring story (if the game lends itself to having one—it really only matters in action/adventure games) even if the controls, movement, and objectives were alright

hell, it's why i completely avoid undertale

@applejack and yes i dont like undertale

@opal How does that not reduce down to positive feelings? I'm talking about people that have fun with something but "there are a lot of glitches, so it's objectively kinda bad". Even if a game makes you sad, you like it because there's a satisfaction to it. Music, sfx, graphics, only matter so far as you need them to get positive feelings about them

I don't like it either. It just felt like a more boring RPG maker meme the tiny bit I played it

@applejack when you rate a game you're evaluating it in its entirety, which includes however a game makes you feel. are you being autistic rn

@opal @applejack lol this makes me think of the iphone game 'dream quest' that i liked quite a lot despite it having all of those

to be fair i do find shitty graphics endearing if they are the right kind of shitty, it was just kind of charming to me

@rats @applejack when i say ass graphics i mean the wrong kind of shitty

@opal @applejack i definitely agree with you in general with holistic assessment of all art but somehow a game like this with no story did suck me in enough through the gameplay online, it does happen every now and then, who knows, "taste" is weird i guess

this prob isn't even what you meant though, this weird little game just has a special place with me for some reason
