I’ve just uninstalled and removed Balatro after yet a near, very close 8/8 ante finish. I have been failing and failing, I’ve only ever seen and gotten to 8/8 ante twice, this being the second time. Every other run has been just insulting me to where no strategy has ever worked, I feel like a lot of it is RNG and pre-determined outcomes based on seeded runs.
And I hate that way of playing. It always feels like I’m getting smacked down by a troll bully who I can never overcome. They’d kick me down every failed run I’d have, then they give me a false sense of security the further I get. “Awwww, getting tired of being owned? Here, let me help you by giving you a few seemingly lucky breaks. SMACK Oh! OWNED YOU AGAIN! FUCK YOU! LOLLOLOL! I BANGED YOUR MOTHER, GIT GUD, NOOB!1”
I just don’t understand why these kinds of games are around, even when I have a good idea who it is for.
Dude I was gonna say balatro too. That game is fucking hard as hell.
I played it for a few days and man, it felt so unfair each time.
Slay the spire felt much more fair. When I failed then, it felt like it was my fault more often than not. In Balatro though, nah man. Shits rigged lol.
For Balatro, depending on the difficulty … some draws are just unwinnable. You just gotta try again. You will pick up patterns or ways of winning eventually. But if it’s not for you, there’s no need to push yourself.
What’s funny is that I just can’t seem to beat Slay the Spire. I should try getting back into it 😂
Haha that is funny, I loved slay the spire. On lower ascensions, I would do pretty well, but after ascension 8, I struggled hard. I think the best I got was 12 or something on all the characters. Past that in couldn’t win most runs.
Balatro felt much more punishing for some reason I guess. Slay the spire has more strategy and skill based mechanics which i think made it more fun or at least, had mechanics that I could more easily enjoy/understand. In Balatros defense, I didn’t unlock everything so maybe thats why i didn’t enjoy it as much.
