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.
It was sort of like the Bethesda formula except that every quest was actually interesting and well-written. Plus there’s the part where taking down tougher monsters on harder difficulties requires appropriate prep, which made those fights more interesting.
I played that game for about 30 minutes. I got to one of the first areas, picked up some “fetch quests” where I had to kill some type of creature and return their pelts for a prize and some exp or whatever and I was like “Oh… A mid 2000’s MMO with no other players. No thanks!”
I also remember feeling that all of the movement, animations, and actions were really jerky. Like nothing felt like it flowed correctly. Things were kind of “snap to grid”. Not sure how else to explain it.

I like witcher 3 but i fully agree on the movement. It’s better now that they changed it for the next gen upgrade but still really weird.

Witcher 3.
I’ve started it 4 times and I never make it past 6 hours in, it’s just painfully slow and feels like a chore to my brain.
Yeah, same for me. I never understood the hype…

For me it was specifically the Blood and Wine DLC. I was really engrossed in the story and when it concluded, I lost my motivation to keep playing.

I’m similar. I did manage better after installing a bunch of mods. Lots were to mitigate/nullify systems I didn’t want to interact with.
Mods to make equipment scale with level, autoloot, remove inventory weight, remove durability, and I’m sure I’m missing some.
It’s still a slow game with floaty combat, and not my favorite, but I was able to see at least some of what others rave about.
