EDIT: Update on the previous page. Artist's dramatic interpretation of The Fight in this update.  I'm thankful that the cast continues to be culled.

The art made it worth it once again. Fight scenes are just OHKOs against opponents standing around like idiots and failing initiative. Press X to kill. I mean, they're not even siccing someone from a surprise angle, just attacking from the front after a conversation with complete surprise.

I love how an assassin, someone acquainted with death as part of his profession, reacts to his friend lying motionless in an expanding pool of blood by shaking him and going "This isn't funny Endymion, wake up!"

That would be an appropriate scene with plenty of buildup and character development. "This was the last job and then we were gonna retire. Buy that boat with the minibar and sail the world. Live free like you always talked about.You can't die on me now, you bastard! Wake up!" E:"We ain't gotta kowtow to no gold-fringed flags no more!"

I mean an eight-year old can usually churn out a basic tacticool combat that has more back and forth than this even if it's just 'and he dove behind a rock, but then I threw a grenade and he couldn't get back up fast enough' or at least some gore. He didn't even have a kid's overexuberant descriptions, like the bellhop's lightning fast maneuver, we're just left to assume Endymion's butterfingers are slipping on his knife. Klace seems to have gone for the 'death strikes swiftly' angle, but that takes a bit of graceful shock and visceral action. quote:He closes his eyes before he uses the blade. Almost like can't attach himself to his actions. He adds a third victim to the floor -- and more blood. And then there's the grin on the guy's face when he mourns his friend. Klace couldn't even be bothered with a second cutout for that. RA Rx fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Mar 30, 2017 |

Here's some of my sweet milfic quote:Alvarez shifted his weight nervously from one foot, then to the other. The waiting, he decided, would be easier if it weren't so stifling out, even in the shade. Growing impatient, Alvarez sighted his AR-15 down the alley for the seventh time. Iridescent heat waves danced lazily in the air at the exit to the narrow alley, slowly hypnotizing the soldier. Then it dawned on him, he was going to die out here with nothing but a gnarly case of swamp nuts to show for it.

Here's a short piece for a sci-for setting I never finishedquote:The frail old woman was leaning back in a rickety folding chair set at a card table on top of a desert plateau, her dusty boots propped up on a crate of ammunition. She wore an abused leather duster that must have complimented her figure long ago, but now just made her look like a deflated sack of sticks. As she lazily eyed the busy canyon below, with men, machines and craft all busily buzzing about, her left hand absent-mindedly rubbed the brass button to the clasp on the holster that never seemed to leave her side. Over the years it had been worn just like a worry stone.

I just shotgunned this entire thread. Do you guys know of "The Third Birthday", that horrible pseudo-sequel to Parasite Eve? TDI did an LP of it not to long ago, it's archived now. It had some of the worst characterization and character assassination I had ever seen in my poor, sheltered life. The writing was abysmal and the gameplay looked and sounded incredibly droll. Every update I attempted to read was a failed exercise to stop my eyes from glazing over as though my soul were trying to die. In the end, nothing actually happened in that game, and a part of me died realizing that. The only solace I could find in that thread was the shared vitriol we all shared towards that dumbass game. This game is worse. And it has fursonas in it.

That weird living rollercoaster fetish book was worse, though more of a charming awful. https://www.amazon.com/Twisted-Miranda-Leek/dp/1452006210 Edit: Twisted was probably worse written and conceived, but it was also so insane that it at least made an interesting case study on the author. Major/Minor is just so bland that all the characters and plot points have just sort of run together and at this point I'm only reading the thread for the commentary. A character just died and I had no idea who it was or what their role was because everyone speaks with the same voice and nobody ever does anything.

I don't think I've ever read anything worse. This trash heap strikes just the wrong balance of tedium, plagiarism, and incomprehensibility. There's just nothing else quite like it.

I've read technically worse works, but I'd hold Major/Minor in lower regard because the author seems to think very highly of himself, whereas the shittier work is clearly done by a guy that just had an idea and wanted to express it (even if that meant plagiarism, poor flow, poor characterizations, no direction, etc), and also because Klace had the balls to charge his audience to read his vomit, and usually, the worse stuff is free.

Yeah, to be fair, Major/Minor is just poorly written. There's nothing overtly objectionable here; even the furry art is a lazy, harmless afterthought. It's nothing like, say, "Do Unto Others", a novel where the main character gets addicted to video games and goes on a pedophilic murderous rampage - while also being boring and nonsensical.

It depends on "worse" because there's plenty of incredibly offensive fiction. I'm sure there's stuff that's more boring, some that's even less coherent, but there's fiction that are painful because they're the product of a deranged mind. Major\Minor isn't the worst thing I've read but it's definitely among the most bland and pointless. M\M's major sin is incompetence; incompetence in vision, incompetence in technique. It's a cliched premise using paper cut-outs for characters with a plagiarized plot that needed an editor to chop down to a size manageable for both the writer and the audience. There's stuff that's written with actual malice in the author's heart while also being incompetent, so that alone rescues it from being sorted with literature that would better the world by having all its copies burned in a bonfire. M\M will merely vanish into the forgotten void that all disposable pop culture ends up going and I'm content to leave it there.

This was a terrible way to spend a sick day.   Right after Mr. Stranger Danger and his melting maw, this has to be the best example of terrible anatomy in the game. Form the looks of things the artist just took the character's main sprite, erased both of the arms 3/4 of the way and then tacked on new arms to meet that two-pose quota without caring if the new arms and the remains of the old ones actually lined up. It's just so lazy and bad. At least it looks like it only showed up once unlike Shoelace Hyena.

I'm pretty sure you could use a picture of that thing to test people for color blindness. "Ok son, now can you tell me what color the rabbit's highlights are?" "Sir? I don't see no rabbit. Just a floating wig of some sort. And I think that's a ladies' brazier?" "Oh...oh God son, I'm so sorry."

I belonged to a group of people who did Mystery Science Theater treatments on bad fanfictions, including some cringy self-insert fanfictions involving a crossover between Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter and the Three Ninjas. And the sequels even had James Bond, Mega Man, Ranma, Sephiroth, and... Look, that's not the point. The point is that there are more cringy things out there, but this game does indeed make one feel uncomfortable in places, and very mistrustful of any dragon scientists who don't wear pants and uses explosives. If anything, this is one of the most cringeworthy crowdsourced games I've seen. And even then, I'm holding back.
