So guess what. We told the game to fuck off. Why? Not because we're sleepy (I know what you all think of me) or because we can't possibly come close to beating it in the time we had... No, it's because the game stopped being fun. Like, completely. In fact, it stopped being fun about after about... hour 8. It's a frustrating fucking game. It's poorly designed in many respects and it behaves more like an endurance test than any game I've ever played. I mean, really, 6 hours in one dungeon! We're not cool and so we're pretty good at video games, and for both of us to get stuck at the exact same place suggests that a gentle sloping learning curve has been cruelly replaced with a spiked punishment wall of anguish.
Also, even if we had given ourselves 60 hours I doubt we would have been able to beat it, but that's beside the point.
Yes, it's disappointing, devastating even, but we're not doing this for your entertainment, oh rabid fans worldwide. We're doing this for our entertainment! And ours died at about 3 goddamn pm YESTERDAY. So, yeah. We got pretty far, had some laughs, then got super stuck and didn't care to go back and level up for 7 more hours just so we could get to the next impossible boss.
Sorry dudes. Maybe next year!
love,
Second Place 4eva
