    The funny thing is that Woolie is 100% right about the whole teenage edgy thing with Fear and Hunger. The creator of the game said he came up with the idea while in a high school tabletop gaming group where he ran a prototype version of what would later become Fear and Hunger as a pen and paper ttrpg where he deliberately made the scenarios as disturbing as possible to squick out the other members of the gaming club.

      There's a certain vibe you can get from some things where you can go "Even if you aren't a teenager now, you *came up with this* as a teenager."
      An example I like to recommend on the TTRPG front is a little something called "Shadow of the Demon Lord." It's a neat DnD-esque system, it's got an honestly fairly fleshed out and interesting setting... but it's also just bluntly, blatantly *gross* in ways that are really cool if you're fifteen. As a quick example, there are *two* ways for your character's dick to fall off in the core rule book.

    @zephshoir 4 місяці тому +80

    The Torches mechanic is the biggest reason I am not a fan of recommending Terror & Starvation to newcomers. I get why John got Woolie to play it like that, but part of me is wondering if Woolie would have had a better time on the base difficulty, which would already be challenge enough for most people. You straight up don't need torches to see in the base difficulty, and that seems to be what most negatively affected Woolie's experience with the game.
    Also, sad to hear that he has been having so many bugs, those can rightfully annoy most people.

    Okay so after a quick google search at the start of this episode it has come to my attention that Street Fighter Online is a REAL GAME, and it DOES feature a character called Hu Fei!? Unless someone has made up a wikipedia page and multiple articles for a fake video game then Street Fighter Online: Mouse Generation seems to have been a pc, mouse controlled fighting game that is now lost media. The game featured street fighter characters, rival schools characters, characters from novels and some other weird crossovers, Hu Fei being a character from a Louis Cha novel. It also seems it was made in association with revoltech. I can't believe this lol.

    2:38:08 I'd argue the dark elements of the first fear and hunger do have a place beyond just being dark.
    They are painting a picture of just how hopeless the dungeon is and how beyond human morals the old gods (and to a lesser extent the new gods) are; The dungeon of Fear and Hunger is like an amalgamation of all the darkest elements of humanity and then beyond into the realm of ancient eldritch gods that barely even recognize humanity as something worth their attention, and what attention humanity does get from them is something almost completely alien.
    It is dark to a silly degree sometimes, yes, but that's the point, being there, trying to go deeper, its like diving into something beyond hell itself; Being sent there is a fate worst than death, going there of your own free will is absolutely a horrible mistake that you most likely cant escape from.
    It says something that, for more horrible that the events of the second game are, they are not as morally repugnant as what can be found in the dungeons of fear and hunger

    • @conelybiscuit4985

      the bluntness of it is pretty admirable imho. a lot of extremely bleak and disturbing settings give the player character a degree of plot armor in how fucked up they can get, so going in you see a guy with a giant "stinger" and you're like "well that's a little odd but what's the worst that can happen to me? i'm Player Character!"
      and then, yeah, *that* happens, and while John and Woolie go hard on it, i think the fact that it's not a game over and you just have to tend to your wounds (farcical as they may be) and keep going is what makes it less exploitative and more just a part of the world. the worst thing ever happened to you, but you're not dead and you're still bleeding from somewhere very bad, so what are you gonna do about that? it doesn't just end because something horrific happened and the game felt it couldn't top that. instead you're just left with new problems, just like when you get badly fucked up in real life.

      In their criticism of it they emphasize a lot about Guts and Casca getting to recover from their trauma, but they're forgetting who they're playing as. In Berserk, Guts is a main character, HE gets to recover; by contrast Bazuso is a side character, HE gets to die.
      In Fear & Hunger, the player character will never *not* be a Bazuso, the game embraces the brutality of the medieval era and often that means people can end up dying like a dog for no good reason. It's only by sheer luck (and meta foreknowledge) that the player character doesn't get immediately swat out of existence like the mountains of other corpses in the dungeon.
      It reminds me a lot of Lamentations of the Flame Princess, your character is as good as dead if anything "interesting" starts happening. The moment you take a single step towards that obelisk in the distance, there's no escape. Shouldn't have looked, got dealt a bad hand, that's rough buddy.

      I never thought I'd be joining the Anal Bleeding Defence Force but here I am, I guess. I second everything everyone else has said, and would go further. Think that a great deal more thought went into the guards than most people give the game credit for.
      A big part of that is the fact that they are placed so early in the game; are likely one of the first enemies you will run into. This is the game setting expectations early on, showing you in unambiguous terms just where it's willing to go. This creates a dread in the player, wondering what other horrors await them.
      Thing is, the game never really goes that hard down that particular path again; soon becomes a lot more subtle in the horror it has to offer. The game playing the same sort of trick as a survival horror game being extra stingy with resources in the opening act, in order to condition the player to feel a sense of anxiousness whenever they have to expend resources.
      Now, some might still consider it to be juvenile, or tasteless, or outside their personal comfort zone; but what it isn't is thoughtless or without purpose. You could also argue about whether the game needs to be quite so crude in order to achieve its intended effect. However, I'd argue, in this instance, the crudeness is sort of the point.
