The Yiik creator was right, the average gamer is too stupid for video games to have rich stories. All of the criticism of Yiik was about how awful and annoying Alex was as a protagonist, when that was the whole point of his character. He learns to become a better person by the end of the game. The dead naming crow was also forced controversy

Nah, the battle system sucked dick, being overly long with the same minigames with longass intros over and over.
Also the mind dungeon song.

YIIK was released too early, back then indie game culture was pandering to gay twee millenial nostalgia and that's what players expected of the game. It could have become a legitimate cult classic if it released this year thanks to the rise of schizo webcore zoomers. "Nobody cares about your dead sister" would be viewed as a hilarious nihilistic comeback instead of bad character writing.

>Hating the mind dungeon song
Legitimately bad taste, Yiik has a lot of mid songs but that's not one of them.

"Nobody cares about your dead sister" is actually Alex beating himself up as HE has a dead sister that seems to be the root of a lot of his issues (along with Michael)

Funny thing is that I remember this game way more than a lot of indies, made me smile and laugh more too
I really wanted this game to have good gameplay, it would have excused the story so much

>Battles sucked, partially because of how bland it was and how the game had to load each time a battle started
>Dungeon design was fucking awful
>Alex wasn't the only unlikable character, most of them were fucking awful
>Horrible quest structures
>Fuck tons of meaningless dialogue that has no bearing on the story but you're forced to sit through it anyway like that one faggot's lengthy story about some fucking tea leaves
>virtually no enemy variety
>Dev is a sensitive and easily offended faggot who can't take criticism
Seriously, why do you keep trying to make it sound like the only thing unlikable about it was Alex when it's been made clear multiple times that the game is just outright garbage for plenty of reasons?

IV fixes basically all of these issues. Although I can't really understand the people who are like
>none of these characters are likable they have too many flaws
Just can't get into the mindset

I always forget that outside of /v/ memeing it up, like 20 people have even played Yiik.

Imagine you got the fire flower in Mario, but before you could shoot fireballs you have to file your taxes

People are too use to pokemon writing where everyone wants to be your best buddy and thinks the world of you
