I’ve just uninstalled and removed Balatro after yet a near, very close 8/8 ante finish. I have been failing and failing, I’ve only ever seen and gotten to 8/8 ante twice, this being the second time. Every other run has been just insulting me to where no strategy has ever worked, I feel like a lot of it is RNG and pre-determined outcomes based on seeded runs.

And I hate that way of playing. It always feels like I’m getting smacked down by a troll bully who I can never overcome. They’d kick me down every failed run I’d have, then they give me a false sense of security the further I get. “Awwww, getting tired of being owned? Here, let me help you by giving you a few seemingly lucky breaks. SMACK Oh! OWNED YOU AGAIN! FUCK YOU! LOLLOLOL! I BANGED YOUR MOTHER, GIT GUD, NOOB!1”

I just don’t understand why these kinds of games are around, even when I have a good idea who it is for.

    Monster hunter. You need to hit the monsters like 1000x and they don’t even have a health bar. Its like using a mixer: boring and takes long.

    LoZ: The wind waker. I thought it would be like that one world in Paper Mario: TOK where you get a fast ship, but instead you get an extremely slow nutshell.

      Oh yeah if I had to pick one game it would be that onr as well. I like Monster Hunters world but not thr gameplay. I’ll stick with the Stories spin offs.

      Yes 100% when it comes to monster hunter. I have no love for that game, the only time it was the least bit exciting was when we avoiding the objective and fought a monster that was way too strong for us.
