Poppy Playtime

This game needs a more mature fan base. It has so much potential

As someone who has been gaming nearly all of my life and even studied game design and the likes as well as mostly playing horror games myself I feel like Markiplier's frustration is valid...

For one I agree that the puzzles and traversal feel like time padding and completely disconnected, not to mention there are A LOT of people who choose not to listen to dialogue in games because they aren't interested in the story or can't focus on it enough (ADHD).

IMO the puzzles feel so poorly thought out too they don't really make anything obvious and even forgoing the connection to the story they are so poorly designed that you could technically solve them without using the stupid poles or using a different easier to access power point and what do the devs do? Just make it so that it doesn't work without taking the intended path which is literally just more code for them to write on each one.

The audio clues aren't even that obvious if not listening to the dialogue and as someone with ADHD myself I can understand that especially with how cliche and over the top some of it is as it drags on.

The amount of bugs that could've easily been avoided to for example making poppy and kissy wait for the player to continue instead of just progressing without them, not giving the player time to get off the lift to press the button before the game detects they're on the lift again and goes back down.

The use of game mechanics that haven't even been introduced or worse are actively discouraged for example the terminals at the end telling you vital information while all the other terminals have been litteral gibberish vaugely related to say the status of the gas machine. The fact the gas mask is so easily missed just adds to it.

Honestly as someone who has seen this before it feels like the devs behind poppy playtime are just doing the bare minimum to get money from people.

I want to emphasize I really liked the idea behind it when the first chapter came out but with each following chapter it's just been getting worse. It feels to me like blatantly bad design and purposeful shilling.

They literally hid crucial lore in NFTs if anyone even remembers that. And I find it sad that I am almost certain that even some people who didn't like this chapter will buy the next one to see if it's any better, but I have a feeling that's kind of what the devs are banking on.

People keep buying and buying each chapter to see if it ever gets as good as the first one while the devs just keep getting lazier and lazier. Hell there are even a few videos on this very topic when poppy playtime and garten of banban first came out saying that shady devs will see that people like mascot horror and will usually latch on to the mascots from the game and the lore that they buy every bit of merch they can just from the brand name like Scott Cawthon accidentally found out himself.

Several people even warned us that these games are following the same patterns.

I want to end this post for those of you who made it this far by saying opinion is opinion.

If you genuinely enjoy it by all means you do you. All I'm trying to say is don't be so harsh on people for making a statement that they don't like something.

And don't say I didn't warn you once it becomes more obvious that it's just a shady shill as if there weren't huge red flags anyways.

I honestly don't care if you like the game or not but understand that at least in my opinion this is just like any other of his playthroughs and it's just the genuinely bad game design making him angry and he is a person with genuine feelings and thoughts.

We all are.

So why can't we even post a normal everyday gameplay video and express our feelings about the game without getting hundreds of raging hate posts for it.

Honestly I understand that im feeding the fire and I myself will get hate for this but I am not trying to tick anyone off or sound angry. I just genuinely dislike all of this undeserved hate for just playing a game on the Internet, and the only thing I hate more is shitty game design for the purpose of trying to make money quickly and easily.

Why are so many people hating on the playthrough, and his opinions on the game? Every 2-3 comments I see are all about "Mark not paying attention", or "He isn't the same anymore"
