I purposefully avoided spoilers because I heard it was a good game and I still found it very predictable and cliche

It was free sure but there are a lot of free VNs that are just as cliche and have just as good art work, but aren't as praised because ????

Undertale was fun either way because it still had good humour and other game elements

[Dinglesberry]

unless you mean the undertale connection, in which i meant that theyre both shitty indie games that somehow got a cult following

[DaBackpack]

undertale is pretty damn good

any comparison you'd make with ddlc is superficial

[flashflash account]

How the heck is ddlc cliche?
Like what? Did you actually play it for longer than five minutes? I'm so confused
Do I not know what a cliche is

In the context of it being a free game with 30 minutes of playtime it does a lot in that

Did you play the entire game? It took me almost exactly 4 hours total and I didn't spend that much time dicking around. It's not a 30 minute game

It's cliche because you can see the "twist" coming from a mile away. There's not enough character development in terms of actual things happening to the characters, it's just all banter. So you don't care about the characters on any deep level. So when something "serious" happens, it doesn't seem like a gripping part of the story happening to people you really care about. It comes across as cliche plot devices shoved into the story

These concepts have been done to death:

oh my god CUTE GIRLS COMBINED WITH DARK IMAGERY INCLUDING SUICIDE! SUCH A UNIQUE CONCEPT!

oh my god now the game is starting to ~MESS AROUND WITH FILES ON MY COMPUTER~ omg teehee so spooky scary and unique game play!!!!

Is it unpopular to say MOBAs are boring and repetitive, or do most people think that way and I only interact with a small fanatic subset?

only in the same way a game of chess could be considered repetitive I suppose

[flashflash account]

I've never seen a game with either of those

[mellonxcollie]

You gotta play more weeaboo games dude! especially the cute girls/violence thing is really popular

[flashflash account]

weeb games in general aren't mainstream though when DDLC broke through
and tbh how did it take you four hours? I literally timed it to be 31 minutes

[mellonxcollie]

idk man, it seems like 4 hrs is right on the average wow I'm proud of myself

yes, the game is much longer than 30 minutes. the full ending is about that length, let alone the segments where you do actual input (poems)

just because you haven't seen a game do these things does not render them immune from being cliche
they're tropes and ideas that have occurred in several games before

and in regards to comparing ddlc to undertale:

undertale did the whole FILE DELETION and ~wHoa~ haunted game thing before it.

yes, there are other games that have done it, but here's one hot example

[flashflash account]

Oh that's right i completely forgot about that aspect of undertale because

skyward sword is p rad

I don't want to live in a world where that's considered an unpopular opinion

[PixlSM]

werent the characters in ddlc intentionally bland and shitty to both take the piss on people who unironically like shitty dating sim vns and also to help show how lifeless and fake the world monika was living in really was

I didn't see that kind of self-awareness

and a lot of the shit that happens actively works against this agenda so even if that was true it still fails

[PixlSM]

either way the game is kinda whatever but i see a lot of people who seemed to completely miss the point regardless of if they love it or hate it
