The video is titled "A Great Game That You Shouldn't Play" and he explains his conflicted opinion within THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES. I'm not really sure what else to tell you other than I found the guy obnoxious, unpersuasive, thought he missed the point of the game, and that i find the fundamental concept of, "I dislike a thing so much I think it's important no one else experience it" to be fairly myopic and stupid. Someone made a 40 minute youtube video confusing opinion with fact So if its so obviously a review and reviews are opinions why Any evaluation of a creative work is a de facto review. Even if it was a review it would still be opinion so not being a review isn't really relevant to it's status as opinion or notĢ. I don't really understand your comment though.ġ. Knowing Celeste and Dead Cells “lie to the player” didn’t stop me from enjoying them, and I don’t think that will change for a roguelike. On a less toxic note, I’d deeply appreciate a creator response to this. Given that his only work in games at all are 2 puzzle games of extreme pretension, and only one other game in the works, he should really sit the fuck down.

If we take a look at other examples of games lying to you, a lot of platformers use “coyote time”, which is essentially a frame window where you’ll still jump off at the last possible point, even when you’d actually be off the platform and plummeting to your demise.

Like, Redditor getting booed offstage for being a scrub bad. Y’know, given that he probably wrote the Steam description of The Witness in a dissociative episode, I shouldn’t be surprised Johnathan Blow is using a conference to complain about games lying to you about RNG is both not surprising in the slightest and absolutely rich.īut no, seriously, that’s a laughably childish thing to complain about.
