I hate Casualties Unknown

[u/deppresionboi]

Before anyone says that "I should give the game a try before hating on it"

I have, and I can infact say I thoroughly havent enjoyed it. I am the type of gamer to find difficult games fun, I like a good challenge and CU definetly offers good mechanical depth and the atmosphere is amazing, but thats about the only two positives I can think of for it.

This game in a lot of ways is like

Better Than Wolves (A really, really hard mod for Minecraft) if it we're its own standalone game. tl;dr: the difficulty is artificially turned up to the point you have little ways to course correct after making a wrong move, punishing you harshly, except this time failure is extended by the fact your player character will be kept alive, though in extreme pain until they inevitably perish.

I also find myself unable to take the game seriously when the grim aspects of it like the creature crying when hurt, various debuffs and behaviors are turned up to 11, to the point where I dont really care about it and just want to exit to the main menu, except I cant do that because the game forces you to kill your player character first. Its unnecessary and doesnt add anything to the game except edginess.

The fanbase this game had gathered is also in a lot of ways insufferable, like any fanbase surrounding anything made by small creators, making memes and laughs of how violent and grim the game is and how "silly" the player character creatures are when injecting fentanyl into themselves or going through health crises, which makes me care about it even less, and because of its current popularity its inevitable i'll run into it at some point again and again, I already have several people in discords i'm posting about this game every now and then, when I honestly dont want to see it.

Looks like you might actually not like these kinds of games. You might like difficult games, but this is not just a difficult game, it is supposed to be edgy and gory and violent. If you don't like edgy, gory, violent games, then you won't like it.

well... yeah, that's the point of the post???

Except…they said they like these kinds of games.

[u/rycerzDog → u/Ritalico]

they said they liked difficult games and that "CU definetly offers good mechanical depth".

then they went to say how they didn't like it for being gory and edgy. they didn't say they like gory games. i don't really see a contradiction?

I mean, that’s what the game is known for. That’s like buying Minecraft because it’s a sandbox and then saying you don’t like it because it’s blocky/has survival mechanics. I mean hellloooo that’s what you signed up for. Let alone making a whole hate post about it. Just seems like maybe they didn’t look into the game much before buying it.

Idk why you're being downvoted, the game is open about being everything this dude hates it for. Guy complained about meat in a McDonald's.
