What I don't get is that he complains about walking in the game but doesn't realize you can run. The guy can figure out how to look up and down but is too fucking stupid to try holding X or any other button instead of going 'HURR THESE WALKING SPEEDS AMRITE?' If he fixes it later, I wouldn't know because I stopped about 10 minutes in. Can't stand that fucking accent

It's not his kind of thing, we all have different opinions.
I love LSD because I like to make up my own interpretation of the meanings of the imagery
Such as why the juxtaposition of right and colourful toy town with the grimness of the violence district?
Is the person's mind damaged by a negative event? (flickering water mainly seen in violence district)
Are the people you see of any significance? (grey man, gun man, murderer, hanged corpses ect)
I really enjoy this type of thing, it's the only contemporary art I can get behind because I feel like I'm part of it.

I don't see how it's a problem that other people found out about an obscure gem. Fuck his opinion, he's showing gameplay so you can judge those bits yourself. The gameplay looked interesting, so despite him disliking the game, I'll give it a try.

His biggest fault was not researching for the review. I know that games like this are better without much exposure to it, but a review needs to be more "professional". With a little research, he would have known what to do and what not to do, so his overall experience would have been different. This way he played the whole game for what, an hour or two? Is that what youtube reviewers do nowadays?

Yes, that seems to be a thing these days. Talk about a game for 20-40 minutes with skits in-between and show footage from the first hour while bitching about how 'bad' something is. Not sure why though

If I wanted to know about first impressions of a game, I'd just watch Classic Game Room and see it within five minutes.

While he's pretty casual himself, The Completionist is one of the few that do deserve some respect, as the guy actually completes the game first and then talks about the whole game. But I lost all respect for him when I saw him own a Retron 5. Five Nights at Freddy review didn't help him much either.

I have no idea who this guy is but I watched the entire video. I don't want to make too much of an echo chamber in here but I tend to agree with the
>3 minute intro
>unnecessary skits
>22 fucking minutes
>he doesn't know how to run
>he completely missed the point of the game ("grrr what do I do next? game doesn't tell mee")
>not enough research (all the info he mentions is literally from the first paragraph of the WP article)
points people have already posted.

My main qualm is he probably barely played the game for an hour, didn't understand how a lot of the mechanics worked at all and just played it all off like it was the game's fault. His opinion's not inherently wrong and it's his show so he can do as he pleases, but it seems like in some areas he put in the least amount of effort possible.
>repeatedly running into walls; blames the game that he was running in narrow spaces
>"wtf is this? Japanese text in a Japanese game? how am I supposed to read this? how shitty!"
And then did you notice what happened when he got to day 10? He stopped using video and switched exclusively to screenshots. I appreciate that he knew enough to acknowledge that the textures change, but I honestly don't believe he got that far himself. I was a little disappointed there.

I completely agreed with some of his criticisms toward the end of the video, though: after a while the maps do get a little monotonous and some form of player interactivity would have really helped as he states.

I'm not even mad his verdict was the game was bad. 6.5/10 the review was alright. I thought pic related was pretty funny

I don't care that he didn't like the game, to each his own and the game is not for everyone. I'm not asking for some cult-like appreciation for LSD but

>hitting the gray man multiple times so everything is the same
>not knowing that there is a defined layout to the entire world

I'm less mad that somebody who is moderately popular shit on a game that I appreciate and more mad that he didn't even take the time out to do a well thought out review of it like other games he's reviewed and just did a series of reaction faces to barely strange things (in the context of the game) happening

You know what you sound like? You genuinely sound like a kid who is calling Metal Slug a big pile of dated crap just because it's not as fancy or cinematic as CoD, or Skyrim, or some other modern shit like that. Completely missing the point that the two are of a different kind and come from a different era and go after different goals.

LCD is a relic of the past and a thing of it's own at the same time. It's hands down the most unique thing to come out of the Playstation, it's less of a game and more a work of art in the actual artistic sense, the various technical limitations only add up further to the surreal experience. LCD is about as anti-casual as something can get, if you're looking for an objective or goal in LCD, you're doing it wrong.

>question is, why
Did you watch the vid? he clearly outlined why the game is bad, zero gameplay aside from walking around

literally all you do is walk around, that's not even an understatement it's all you fucking do and then watch the goofy flickering lights and shit when stuff comes up to you, it's bland and boring as hell.

It's annoying as hell to see people who obviously never play the game spout shit they heard from someone online. This has recently going on with classic Sonic games where people are saying things that can be solved with just pressing down to roll into an enemy.

Ironic, you say these people should play the game when most people saying that lsd is good are saying it's an "experience" rather than a game or something you play so your argument is pretty much invalid, there is little to no gameplay, so little watching someone play it on youtube is pretty much the equivalent of playing it yourself except you don't control where you go, not that that matters becuase you can't control where you go 90% of the time anyway.

No it doesn't, you were just told that key objects in the game have a large effect on where you go next and then you go and say "lol still random tho".

Also i'm almost certain experiencing a game for yourself regardless of how much interaction there is makes a big difference rather than listening to someone talk about it and make their own choices.

It is still random though

even if half the objects did transport you to fixed places which I am already sure is not that high, that's still half and half random crap, it's just not a good game, a neat idea that hadn't been tried before, but NOT a good game by any means.

Anonymous Wed Dec 3 16:24:08 2014 No.2103609

I see a lot of people saying LSD is a bad game, and I would argue that LSD isn't meant to be a game, really. It's just a weird, interactive art project. Games can be won or lost; they have goals to be met and rules for meeting them. LSD has none of that. I feel like it's pretty up-front about being something you get high and look at for a while.

If that's not your cup of tea, I can't blame you, but to say it's bad because it isn't compelling you to overcome challenges with promises of rewards is unfair, because it's clearly not trying to do that at all.

Because people should be forming their own damn opinions instead of just copy pasting what people on Youtube say. Even something that has as little interaction as Depression Quest shouldn't be subjected to just people watching a video on Youtube without trying it and then repeating what the person on Youtube said acting like it's their own opinion.

Depression Quest was just a PDF as an EXE with pictures and animated backgrounds though. At best it was a visual novel minus the visuals and art (which is required for VNs), and this was my opinion before I saw anyone else play it.

Has Caddicarus actually finished any game he reviews? I'm thinking back on some of the videos i've seen in the past and it seems like he just plays the game for an hour or two and just starts from there

Hey guys, anon with a lot of sato.

This game has been utterly, intellectually shredded between people. I have found a soap box, a good one at that. So within the next 6-9 months, probably, see some good stuff. Also cocks.

while i agree it's too experimental for the sake of being experimental, the goal of the game is to fill up the grid map thing
it actually followed some logic but I never bothered looking too much into it, all i remember was the the left and right sides were static vs active or something and they filled up if you either interacted with objects or just sit idle and watched the scenes play out

to be fair i never cared much about this game outside the music and the wide open areas

the goal of the game is to "survive" 365 days, but even then it's not really much surviving as if you touch the grey man the weirdness "resets" so you can play the game on normal casual mode if you like

after 365 days you see an ending cinematic and if that's all you wanted it's fairly disappointing. The game is about the experience, not what you have to do.

I too, thought it was pretty funny about the first couple of times he did something akin to it. But this is all he does, his entire humour. If you watch enough it becomes incredibly obvious as to when he's going to do it. Stops being funny once you realise it's all he's got.

I still watch these fucking videos because I just like the sound of his voice.

this is what i've never understood about "jontron" reviewers. I call them that because it all seems to stem from jontron's style, they all seem to copy off of it and become some shitty variant

They play a weird videogame that's sorta obscure but not enough to make it unknown- it has a cult following. Something weird happens on screen, they do a dramatic closeup of their face and explain what just happened to you like you're blind. Cue laugh track. While this is funny once in a while, their whole video and shtick are literally just doing this over and over. This LSD review and jontron's "Monster Party" reviews are the best examples but there's tons of reviewers who do it

The only reviewer I really watch anymore is brutalmoose. While he does what I was talking about above sometimes, he usually limits it to once or twice per video and either passes by it extremely quickly or has some witty and actually funny statement to go alongside it instead of just going "BWAAAA SO WEIRD" every 30 seconds

Incase somebody's wondering if this is some new Matthewmatosis grade reviewer they may have missed, no, no it isn't. Attached: screenshot from the review linked to in the OP. Only watch this reviewtainment if you have the viewing standards of a 16-year-old and really have nothing else to do whatsoever.

LSD, Eastern Mind, LSD and remixes, LSD dream book. The rest is 2nd hand but excellent condition. Not sure what to do with it, all so it sits in a box. Also have garage.

And im referring to a complete breakdown of the game and how it works as a psychological horror game unique to itself.
