(Yes. Yes I know. I've already ranted about it before. I got nothing to rant about at the given time and the last one missed a few things...)
... All that crap only to make 5 actual arguments at maximum...
The rest? Just nonsense. Otherwise mocking OMORI fans and mentioning OMOCAT alot for some reasons.
I wonder how long this person took to write all this. Cuz honestly? Looking at the amount of hidden venom is his words and the sheer length of this comment, it'd be shocking if this was written under 15 minutes UNLESS it's their personality's play that helped them write all that quickly.
A speech can sometimes reveal the character of a person alot. What does this comment reveal about this guy?
Whatever. Leaving that aside, as I said earlier, only 5 actual arguments in this entire comment. It's almost ridiculous this guy made such a long comment while presenting only 5 actual arguments. What for? I wonder. Maybe to make the comment sound valid?
Literally these are the only arguments this guy made:
OMORI doesn't show the friend group's reaction so it sucks.
HERO was able to resolve the dispute on day 3 with ease so it sucks.
There's no character development so it sucks.
HEADSPACE has nothing to do with the story so it sucks.
The ending part is short so it's bad.
That's it. That's all it had to offer. The rest is just nonsense and calling OMORI fans stupid and mention OMOCAT.
So, for his first argument...
"OMORI doesn't show the friend group's reaction so it sucks."
Let me be completely honest about one thing first. This guy might genuinely be the first person I've ever seen saying that OMORI is bad because we don't get to see the friend group's reaction.
So, to be fair? This guy could've just said "Games which leave some major stuff as a mystery for the players in order to encourage them to think of their own possible explanation" suck cuz that's basically his argument here. And at best? It appears more to be more of a personal issue rather than an actual one. And also proof that OMORI just wasn't for this guy.
The second argument...
"HERO was able to resolve the dispute on day 3 with ease so it sucks."
I remember this type of argument from somewhere else...
And honestly, it makes me wonder whether the ones using this argument even focused into the game or not, cuz it honestly has such a simple explanation...
To begin with, AUBREY wasn't exactly a bad person. The game implied it itself. And the day before, AUBREY had already messed up BADLY. She almost killed BASIL. That was a grave mistake and even she knew it was. That's why she locked herself in her house on day 3 to begin with. Clearly it would've been hard for her to face anyone of the friend group after that aswell.
Also, it wasn't exactly HERO that made her calm down and be friends again. It was the photo album that triggered some memories which calmed her down and think for a second.
That's the explanation. But guess it was just too hard for some people like this guy to realize it themselves. Or maybe the guy was just too absentminded during their gameplay?
Third argument...
"There's no character development so it sucks."
...
Wow... Just. Wow...
Ain't that rich coming from a self proclaimed Yume Nikki fan? Ain't that revealing just how very focused this guy was during his gameplay and how much this guy knows about OMORI characters?
Fact: Yume Nikki lacks an official story AND an official character development.
I don't know when compared to other games, but OMORI definitely has FAR MORE character development than Yume Nikki. I'll guarantee that much. In one of this guy's comments not shown here, bruh literally said that Yume Nikki arguably tells a "better" story than OMORI, all while it lacks one to begin with.
So somehow, according to this guy. OMORI is bad because it doesn't have as much character development as much this guy would like, but when it comes to Yume Nikki, it somehow doesn't matter that it doesn't even have character development and is still better than OMORI? That seems bias at it's absolute peak.
Also, this one argument seems to be just further proof that this guy was very absentminded during his gameplay. I'm almost sure this guy doesn't even know that HERO was depressed after MARI'S death. And literally most of other things you get to know from side characters. It also comes weird to me that after playing the entire game, the first thing that comes into this guy's mind about AUBREY is that "She was traumatised"... Like traumatised is one thing, but the main thing was that she was mad at her friends for not being there with her when MARI died. Makes me want to think this guy just watched a random video about AUBREY or a random Wikipedia, saw the word "traumatised" and then came out saying "I know everything!"...
Whatever, fourth argument...
"HEADSPACE has nothing to do with the story so it sucks."
Yet again, another statement that's rich coming from a self proclaimed Yume Nikki fan. Like bruh, this guy speaks as if the dream world in Yume Nikki had any point in itself which revealed any true story.
As for OMORI. After playing OMORI, it was clear to me why HEADSPACE existed, and why it was shaped the way it was. It existed to distract SUNNY from the truth. To keep him as far from the truth as possible. To be a place where SUNNY would wish to live. It worked. But not entirely, that is. The truth still came, haunting SUNNY. One way or the other. And HEADSPACE looked the way we have seen because it was made from SUNNY'S memories. SWEETHEART, SPACE BOYFRIEND, and SPROUT MOLES were literally from the books SUNNY had read at some point. Other parts of HEADSPACE are his own imagination. As it may appear now, the game was more about understanding SUNNY than anyone else. What goes in his head and what not. So, HEADSPACE IS linked to the story in a way you either like or dislike.
Curious, though. This guy said OMORI has only one good route and that is the Hikikomori route. That'd give me the idea that this guy had played this route. Yet somehow, he doesn't know how HEADSPACE is linked to the story when it's literally in Hikikomori route where it's indirectly explained why HEADSPACE existed and appeared the way it was.
And honestly, if this guy just didn't like the fact that HEADSPACE wasn't solely related to the lore (which would make it's entire reason to exist senseless when it's point was to hide the same truth which is the story) then OMORI just isn't this guy's type of game... Guess they don't get this one thing in their head and just come out calling the game bad.
HEADSPACE also did one great thing. It made the game look all cheerful and bright, only to suddenly get dark at times. That's why the game even felt hard-hitting in the ending parts. If the game was solely on about the incident as this guy said, then it wouldn't be as hard-hitting as it is. Again, if this guy's completely against this logic, then OMORI is simply not this guy's type of game.
Last argument...
"The ending part is short so it's bad."
I honestly don't get what's with this one. Like honestly, how much more would they stretch the ending part than it already is? Bruh speaks as if the ending part should've been hours long. It's literally one single incident that ruined SUNNY'S life, not multiple incidents. If they'd stretch it more than it already is, it'd honestly become way too melodramatic than required. Besides, the game still did a great job with it's ending despite being short, and this guy isn't denying that the ending is thrilling. Except, saying that it's short as if it would be better long. Anyways, the end made OMORI worth it. Atleast more than Yume Nikki 🤷♂️
Well, that's all with dealing with these arguments.
The rest, as I said earlier, is nonsense. Either mocking OMORI fans otherwise mentioning OMOCAT.
Bruh's legit saying that OMORI fans are moronic and isn't even trying to hide it. That might not look like it that much in these screenshots I've shown but this guy's other comments not shown here were quite literally indicating that. Idk what problem this guy had with the fandom, but the guy didn't really prove anything about the fandom being stupid and just did witty talk at best instead of anything real. Maybe this guy just couldn't bear the fact that people loved a game obviously not their type and so attacked even the fandom?
This guy also had this weird tendency to play victim whenever someone would reply to their comments while not even being called stupid and instead being respectfully replied to and while being backfired. As if this guy couldn't even stand people not having the same idea as their's and so even getting replied to felt offensive.
Or let's put it this way, the guy WANTED to start beef one way or the other, for some reasons we might never know. Again, maybe because it stung seeing people love a game not their type?
Whatever, now with the whole OMOCAT thing being mentioned...
That part of the comment almost, for some reasons, gave me the feeling that one of their reasons to hate OMORI is OMOCAT. Not just a minor reason, Major reason. Bruh even brought up OMOCAT's "doings" as argument in one of the comments. It isn't even actually an argument as it doesn't even prove the game to be bad, it's just them not liking the creator of OMORI.
Some other comments of this guy made me suspect other stuff too...
Let me guess, this guy's actual reasons to hate OMORI were so bad, they couldn't even use them in their arguments and so they ended up using the infamous arguments against OMORI made my some other critiques/haters to justify their hate on OMORI. That'd kinda make sense and even explain how the guy ended up liking Yume Nikki when it has almost all the problems they had with OMORI and much more.
One of the actual and stupid issues this guy might've had with OMORI they couldn't use as an argument could be the fact that OMORI has Anime graphics. Cuz yes, they did say some stuff in other comments that gave it away. Another one being the OMOCAT dramas that made them hate the game. That's another stupid reason to hate the game and even this very comment makes it look like it IS one of their reasons they're not outright saying. Another could be the fact that they were mad the game costed 20 dollars. One of this guy's comments made it sound like they didn't even want the game to cost. Like seriously, how much else was this guy expecting OMORI to cost when it has such sheer amount of content? If they didn't enjoy it then it's literally their fault that they didn't check enough about the game before buying it.
Also, you see the second screenshot? That beginning paragraph of the comment confused me alot. (And btw, it still does. Please explain what they mean there). I almost thought they're saying that we're a whole different entity and are a part of the story of OMORI like OFF, Undertale and Deltarune. Idk, i need an explanation of what that paragraph is actually saying.
Another thing I find really weird is the phrase "the best part of omori is omori. he's selfish. he's manipulative"...
... I can get the "manipulative" part kinda being a nature of OMORI but, WHEN THE HECK WAS HE SELFISH?!?! His entire reason to exist was to not let SUNNY tell the truth to his friends no matter what and to protect him from the truth. What's even selfish in that? I really don't get what's with this guy. Almost makes me think they just saw a random summary of the game where "selfish" was used to describe OMORI instead of playing the game themself.
Also, guess what guys? This guy has found 8 more routes in OMORI no one else has found! OMORI has 10 routes!
Like bruh OMORI has only TWO ROUTES!!! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Even if this guy's referring to endings, even then this guy's wrong. OMORI has 6 endings in total. Bruh doesn't even know how many routes the game has and here they come talking nonsense. Also, see how the guy says Hikikomori route is the only good route in all of OMORI? In their other comments, they were basically defaming HEADSPACE and making it sound like waste. As I revealed my guess earlier, their actual reasons to hate the game are probably bad enough to be senseless to use in arguments and so they're using the infamous arguments made by others instead to justify their hate and look like they have a point. So, idk, maybe they have some petty issues with The Real World of OMORI instead?
Tell me this guy isn't one of those people who want things to stay messed up 24/7 in some game to appeal them... Cuz knowing what OMORI should've had to be "good" according to this guy? That seems exactly the case.
Also, notice the last comment? Exactly the reason that made me even decide looking what Lisa had to offer at some point. In the process, I saw even more of them Lisa fans glorifying their game, almost too much.
Now as you can see? My (most probably) first impression of Lisa fandom already got really bad once I noticed this guy's comments and then it got worse because of other ones. And trust me, Lisa fandom alone broke my two logics of "small fandom = nice fandom" and "dark game = goofy fandom"...
And once I actually watched the whole gameplay of Lisa? Not as grand as this guy and those other fans made it sound like. When they literally called it better than OMORI, Undertale or maybe any other game, I'd expected almost too much from it I guess.
Honestly, now that I know a few things about Lisa fandom, it almost makes sense to me now why this guy's comments were like this. Lisa fandom, from atleast what I've seen and understood, seems to be KNOWN by it's toxicity and it's tendency of crapping on other games like Undertale and OMORI.
But thankfully, maybe it's kinda chill now...? Or it's just in gamejolt...?
Whatever...
The article actually ended up this long 💀💀💀
Might be my longest one so far lol.
