Has there ever been a shit game that was really fucking bad, but scratched a particular itch of yours? Let's talk about that, or rather, let's have a thread about how to replace those games with something better. Let's give examples of games that suck, that you like an element of and examples of how that element was done better somewhere else.
>Shit game:
YIIK A Postmodern RPG
>What I liked
I like the concept of a normal person getting thrown into a surreal situation where reality breaks apart around him as more and more bizarre things start happening. Especially if it goes into meta-fictional and meta-physical elements.
>Why does it suck?
Everything from the pacing to the gameplay itself is fucked, the main hero is an unlikeable cunt that you want to punch every time he opens his stupid fucking mouth, the game is far too slow and far too hipstery, breaking any enjoyment that could be have from playing it.
>What I recommend instead:
Although it would be easy to recommend Persona, as it does what YIIK does, but ten times better, everyone already knows of this, so instead I'm going to recommend Yuppie Psycho.
>What is Yuppie Psycho and what is its premise?
Yuppie Psycho is a survival horror game about a your average joe loser, Brian Pasternack who somehow landed a job in an incredibly wealthy corporation. As it turns out though, the actual corporation is in shambles, constantly devastated by a number of bizarre paranormal phenonema with most of the workers having gone absolutely insane, and him having to fix all of this shit by his own hands getting deeper and deeper into the bizarre predicament of the corporation.
>What does it do better?
Frist of all, it is far better paced and written, the gameplay is not slow and although has its own problems, it is generally fun and pleasant to go through. The bizarre surreal experiences that we go through are actually incredibly creative, sometimes satirical and actually funny, other times geniuently kind of unnerving. Most importantly though, the main character isn't an unlikeable cunt like in YIIK, he is just your typical shy, relatable loser that tries to do his very best. He reacts naturally to everything happening around him, and although he is a simple character, the player immediately grows to like him due to just how fucking charming he is. The characters in general are far more fun and interesting, and you actually start caring about the people you meet on your journey. The game also has a cute ai waifu
