After playing Fear and Hunger for a while, you'll discover that the true horrors that lurks inside the dungeon is the frame drops because my god the frame drops caused me much more stress than dealing with crow mauler or what not because as sooner or later, you'll get the hang of dealing with them. The frame rate though? Nope, you can only try to press everything hoping your character don't done goof cause of the lag.

[@frapollo94]

Frame drops are the worst thing possible in mahabre, making the best zone of the game a nightmare!

[@societygoku6376]

The true fear of the dungeon is when you get softlocked by a stun move. Or when the game just stops for some reason

[@fierygallades6122]

There are some valid complaints here. I love it when the conclusion to a review of a game that doesn't suit someone is, "not for me" rather than "bad gaem". I mean, I bounced off of this game quite hard, just because I discovered it at a time when I was busy with IRL stuff. I still think that this is a pretty good game, I just don't have the time to dedicate to learning it...anyway, some of the arguments in those reviews are quite funny. I dunno about the one with keybindings. From what I remember, I thought that everything related to controls was pretty standard for rpgmaker-style games. Though, I do have to admit, I do love seeing mah boy Squee represented in the review(don't mind me, this is a Magic The Gathering reference).

[@frapollo94]

Yeah I'll always try to include valid complaints in these videos because I don't want the only topic of the video to be making fun of reviews, I also am interested in showing some concrete problems of the game from my experience!

[@ZombieKitty321]

The keybinding thing is kinda disingenuous because its 2 buttons and the arrow keys, z too interact, x for the menu and escape too back out like theres not much too "rebind" and its pretty intutiive you look at the controls for a couple seconds

[@DeviBuster]

I went into the game completely blind and immediately got that there wasn't a point in fighting the dogs at the start, like assumed the barking was a warning meant to force the player into the dungeon as soon as possible. Idk why someone would think otherwise

[@GuyHacco]

Some people are not open minded enough for this game. They see it's an RPG game, they'll think the difficult stuff is enemies with powerful skills and ton of hp. Fear & Hunger is not interested in that, it does not want you to fight every fight, it does not want you to explore every area, it does not want you to think you are in for another generic RPG game. One part of the difficulty comes in with the dilemmas you'll have to go through, but some people simply don't understand that. Keep it up 🙌

[@frapollo94]

Completely agree with you!

[@snappishtemperament213]

The guys complaining about the hounds are probably the same guys who would die in DnD on their first encounter because the DM made the match specifically to illustrate that you both can and should run from fights sometimes and they couldn't take the hint

[@ryomahoshi4529]

Once I was playing a session of dnd with my friends,we're new to playing and done about 0 research and then he pulls out a session like none other,that was so stressful but could have been so easily avoided. The key to this was that the noises the creature was making and how the village was empty,dead everywhere. Had we turned tails and went a bit further,we would have met with the village's army and destroyed the ennemies. Instead we continued,played hide and seek for 3 hours with monsters that would have killed us on the spot,only for us to lose the mission and lose one of our pc friends ans 2 npcs that were really strong.

Honestly speaking, I feel like reviews should require you to at least play the game for more than an hour, if you've played the game for any less than that and you give a bad review it's one of 3 things A) technical problems (understandable) B) You had an inherent negative bias on it even before trying it and complain about the things anyone who's played for a decent amount of time can counter C) You bought and downloaded the game to boot it up just to leave that negative review

funger is actually really similar to rain world, it’s an extremely hostile environment with very fragile characters and very obtuse tools, the main difference is that rain world isn’t quite as dependent on rng for resource distribution as it is map size to spread tools apart one of the really big similarities tho is that cuz it doesn’t tell you much on the meta layer, you have to infer and infer fast, or just die to various shit you meet along the way

[@justarandomguy983]

YOOOO FELLOW RAIN WORLD FAN

[@dumbvillage9253]

Based on my experience, Fear and Hunger(at least Termina) can be usually beaten on the normal difficulity even with garbage rng. Rng only becomes a problem on the Maso mode/hard mode, in Maso mode a single miss can ruin your entire run, as example: i got something really good from a chest, then i attacked a sickle villager, i missed his arm, he attacked me, then placed a bear trap, forcing me to guard, stabs and slams me and now i have almost died to the WEAKEST mob in the game, being left with ONLY 25 hp and an infection. Or more commonly, me using mischief of rats only for it to not stun or for the enemy to straight up ignore the fact they are stunned, or ignoring the fact that i was guarding and either dealing the same damage(Karin) or dealing MORE(Caligura). Not to mention that i once got softlocked in Maso mode because Caligura's corpse fell on me and i couldn't move, and if i didn't get lucky with the GoFaH skin bible and saved earlier, i would have had to restart my entire run because the game said "no, fuck you". And then there is yet another run that was ruined because a random Half-cocooned mallet guy that decided to spawn at the orphanage and then killed me, i could go on and on about how rng and bugs ruined my runs but then the comment would be too long. It doesn't help either that enemies destroy half your hp bar in 1 turn with the best gear. So basically, if you know what you are doing - you will usually succeed, just not in Maso mode.

[@frapollo94]

Exactly! You have to spend time to understand stuff! And if you don't want to, that isn't game's fault!

I've spent thoudands of hours in Ancient Domain of Mystery, where for example your 10hours OP character will get instakilled at some point if you don't have Death Ray resistance...

Also RNGesus takes as much as he gives; sometime you'll miss a guard's arm 5 times in a row, some other times the girl is gonna headshot the Crowmauler first try

It would ruin the replay value in the beginning of the game, it feels fresh every game the way it is.

There could be a lot of different complaints like how obscure the fighting mechanics, enemy patterns, how the guard works and how it evades the one shot coinflip. The coinflip itself could be a topic of discussion since one guy had a good point that this game is so luck reliant that you can’t win without being lucky and how the game shows you the coin mechanic to make you think you did the difference there. I know the game well enough to see the patterns and beat it without relying on luck too much but without that knowledge, the whole game seems to be random as the coin flips, one shot attacks, misses and many others Like with the hounds it will be obvious at some point that you just need to hide, a one or two attempts, nothing too out of proportion but with the guard. One thing you can always certainly know is that cleaver can chop your arm off, however, how many attempts will it take for you to see the pattern of one shot attack? How many attempts it would take for you to see how to evade it? And I’m not even talking about trial and error, I mean even if you won but just because the coin flip was in your favour, will you think there was a pattern? I mean he had a dick with random chance of hitting you really hard, he had a coinflip attack why wouldn’t it be random? The problem with the game is that it doesn’t really show you that it has patterns and doesn’t give you ways of noticing these. There is so much randomness that every pattern seems like a random thing. I’m not saying it needs handholding, it just needs to make it a bit more obvious to find out like with sharp things cutting your limbs or importance of always moving

[@frapollo94]

I understand what you mean but I disagree, as if it told you "look at this thing! It's a pattern that you have to understand" then the game would just become a book! Also there's a hint from ser Seymor that guard may be useful!

@@frapollo94 to be fair though, using Guard when your alone does seem like a bit of a waste though?

[@frapollo94]

No I actually agree with you

[@KerberosVal]

To be fair, the game doesnt tell u ANYTHING. Without watching guides or reading the wiki at some points its pretty hard to get started. But once u know the basic, its actually pretty easy. 30 minutes to legarde is super doable while taking almost no fights. Personally, I do think the game should give out more hints at least, because the learning curve is incredibly steep otherwise. I enjoyed the game after watching a video essay on it so i know the basics and was able to explore the rest, but for someone who just picked it off the shelf unaware, they might just think its bad game design.

[@frapollo94]

I disagree, there are a few spots where you get interesting informations, like seymor for example, of course starting as a newbie is hard, but starting as a newbie is hard for any game! But respect your opinion

[@KerberosVal]

@@frapollo94 I do think the game could benefit from giving u some more hints though. For example, the guard is a harmless enemy when u know his attack patterns but it would take 5-8 deaths to figure it out on ur own which would turn down alot of ppl. I mean its not even told that guarding blocks insta kill attacks. If u know ur going into the game expecting the learning curve, its not that hard to spend time to figure out stuff. But if someone just pick it off the shelf, its easy to get turned off within the first hour or so.

[@frapollo94]

@@KerberosVal seymor puts you in the right direction about guarding coinflips! Also if the game immediately tells you everything then for how Funger is designed there would be no point in playing! If you already know everything about what to do there is no fun! Knowledge is the real strategy in this game!

Heh, since so many reviews talk about RNG, we should introduce a mechanic where ENEMIES have a coin toss to resist Limb/Head Loss - if resisted, it sets the HP of that body part to 1. :D

LMAO

[@Skullfiend]

I've found a visual bug in the entrace of Maha'bre's past that makes the city's background flash rapidly. I'm really glad i'm not epiletic, because i was home alone for hours and if i was i'd probably be dead. Worst thing is, is that i can't get rid of it, so i just try not to pass there too often. And if i can, i switch to the rpesent to maoe it easier in my eyes.

[@frapollo94]

Hmmmm I've never heard of that bug... was it always present or do you recall some special things you did to make it appear?

[@Skullfiend]

@@frapollo94 Nope, normal progression. Even with me going back to the present, reopening the game or anything like that it kept happening. I just wandeed in changed to the past to explore and when i backtracked a bit because i wanted to do a puzzle my eyes were hit with the eye-hurting screen. Maybe it's a bug connected to the passages of Mahabre, but i had used it to get the blue sin quite early into my playthough. I got lucky and got it next to the dark priests.

[@Skullfiend]

@@frapollo94 It's just the entrance to the city. The rest of the city is completely normal.

[@Pawtacle]

11:30 I watch people play games like this because I'm not a fan of turn-based mechanics but I often like the stories these RPGs have to offer... And this also applies to horror games, I'm a coward so I'll much rather laugh at someone else getting scared (and only get a little bit of second hand scared instead of trying to play it myself where I would likely just stop at some point) :P

[@frapollo94]

Completely understandable

[@tranquilthecat3417]

Honestly after watching a bunch of VOD's and guides you make for the game, its like downloading cheat codes into my brain (but they don't always work). And that what I love about the game, you can know almost all the mechanics in the game and the game can still crap in your oatmeal.

[@speechlesshermit8588]

Oh my god, I legitimately believed you just couldn't select certain body parts in certain specific turns this entire time.

[@frapollo94]

Yeah I think a lot of people wouldn't expect this bug being related to cursor!

[@Yurifan420]

Had a hard time listening with the chaotic evil gameplay in the background. Rip girl and moonless. Edit: Squee is like a mouse cry sound effect... I think?

[@frapollo94]

I don't know honestly my friend xD

[@JamesLacroixx]

@@frapollo94 Squee is slang from like the early 2000s to express that something is really 'darling/adorable' or really 'exciting/great'. It's supposed to imitate the sound of a girlish squeal if that makes sense.

9:21 Oh, I like this one. I play Library of Ruina, a game built on the foundation of dicerolls. That game is an rng fuckfest. The skillful part is *making setups that are strong enough to reduce the reliance on rng.*

[@frapollo94]

Oh I'm currently playing that game as well on streams! Yeah the thing you do in that game, and that in general you do in all games, is reducing the rng as much as possible to stick to a consistent plan!

[@Nixahma]

@@frapollo94 mfw people get mad when they can't just bruteforce a fight until they get good rng and then blame the game for it

[@mrsnikeersneerph4nt0m13]

Honestly after playing darkest dungeon for a long time I'd say that game is much more unfair than Fear and Hunger since Fear and Hunger has some certainties you can rely on when you have bad luck while Darkest Dungeon is pretty much entirely made up of RNG

[@frapollo94]

Yeah I see what you mean!

[@huehgo3600]

while darkest dungeon is random the game gives you all the tools to prepare for the things that might happen but the game can feel unfair in that regard if you dont really know what is going to/has a chance to happen

Frapollo: "why would you care about (the game endings) if you don't want to play the game" Me who will never play the game but watches videos on it: *chuckles nervously*

Haha yeah I also said that maybe it's just a thing that I don't understand! I watch a lot of video essays for example, but not because I necessarily care about the game itself, but because I want to listen to someone narrating!

[@frapollo94]

Yeah hope that was helpful to correct the bug that may happen!

[@selensewar]

To be fair, all of the years of gaming have taught me (and probably not only me) that going for the head is always the best decision. You damage head of your enemy - he is defeated. Also head usually gets more damage because it's... well... a head. So it's only natural to assume that in FnH you have to only go for the head of every enemy. Unfortunately, this game is not your typical RPG, and every fight is a puzzle rather than a DPS/HPS check.

[@Eldagusto]

Yeah I learned the mouse curser thing when I play with a remote

[@DrunkedOwly]

6:30, there's a point with the popularity these games have, dark souls isn't really that hard, but the expectation people have through the popularity of these games is "I'm not doing something wrong, it's just that I have to do this insane shit"

[@frapollo94]

Yeah I think I see what you mean

[@shabba00021327]

I have a complaint! Play time: About 2 months. Complaint: I never knew you could use Necromancy on Alll-Mer. That's...quite disturbing. Review: Doesn't give me a rise.

[@frapollo94]

That's another complaint i can perfectly understand!

[@AADP]

I think my only complain is that lore wise at least Darce and Garangararg should fight better and not lose limbs, dudes have been in many battles against seasoned soldiers, how did they never lose any limb if they are so bad!

[@frapollo94]

I see what you mean!

[@shredjward]

Im ngl, i can't believe that one reviewer couldnt figure how to enable fullscreen (which even if for some reason your f4 key didnt function you could choose to full screen the window for nearly the same effect) or the "cant select body parts bug" which imo youd figure out when you went to close the game since it was "bugged"

[@frapollo94]

I think the "can't select body parts bug" is more understandable, if you've never played the game and try only once, you'd almost never connect the mouse to the error, which is why I didn't get angry about that criticism!

[@boops5071]

Been playing this game for a week now and i just discovered there was a fullscreen? Thanks man also now i know there is a game reset because i fat fingered the key beside it

I have a decent pc but even I find that I have big frame drops outside tower of endless and in the Mahbre alleys outside temple of torment.

Yeah I think it's something similar

I completely dismissed my encounter with the aim bug because I thought it was related to garbage collection like the performance. Because using the mouse in a game like that simply was not even a consideration for me.

For the first review: Very nice review from a personal perspective but it really always gets to me. A 6 out of 10 is now a negative review. We have all been spoiled so much, I feel.

I can't blame them completely, after all when you pay for a game and you think it's a 6/10 the point is, was it really worth your money? (despite of the arguments those people have I mean)
