What game?

There are diamonds after the liquid shit, so this conveys something bad that would filter you before you get there

SCORN

FF xvi

Black Desert Online

Lobotomy Corporation

Sadly...FFXVI what a shitshow the last third is

My mom said I'm wasteful for throwing out my shoes after stepping on dog shit. Is she right?

E33

Spray them off and throw them in the wash, retard.

Deus Ex

Zenless Zone Zero.
It's really upsetting.

Most phone games once you play long enough to see through the good parts (visuals, story, fanservice, gameplay) and start seeing the game as the bare minimum components required to progress (dailies, cheesing events, using skips/auto, recognizing only 10% of the characters/equipment actually matter).

Every video game except Nethack and Angband.

old players had to go through liquid shit (tv) so new players won't? i think it's the exact opposite for zzz

mass effect franchise

Dark Souls 1
Elden Ring
Dragon's Dogma 2
Assassin's Creed Black Flag

I can't say I fully agree, but you're onto something here: Valheim's first 3-4 areas/biomes are absolute gaming kino, looks amazing and has an excellent and exciting sense of exploration... I won't say that Mistlands was a shower of liquid shit but suddenly all the joy of surveying is gone like tears in the rain because you can't see shit and have to build pic related literally everywhere to even move around... Ashlands wasn't quite as bad because at least you weren't Stevie Wonder in there but Ashlands had its own problems. I'm really not hopeful about the last area, whatever it will be.

Any modern gacha game is when you play on a “failed” account without investing money.

Soulstice. If you played it you know exactly where it goes to shit.

KCD, mostly for the combat system. When you first start it feels like you just suck because Henry has not learned how to fight, and you gradually learn how to riposte, dodge, etc. Eventually you are introduced to master strikes, which is just blocking very fast when someone attacks. It's a perfect parry that can't be defended against, and will automatically fuck up whoever you're righting. Enemies use it too non-stop. So when you get to the end of the game, the only winning strategy is to just stand still and wait for the opponent to attack, since if you attack you'll get master strike'd, or put them in a clinch and then exploit that the game doesn't let them block after a clinch. There is absolutely no strategy whatsoever, it's just a waiting game or facerolling. A complete noob could solo any enemy in the game and win, it's retarded.

Warframe when you need to craft the mechsuit

Or whenever you get stuck into unenjoyable grinds, like Citrine's or coda lich ephemera

Dark Souls

Pyre

The ending just being a massive textblock and rehashed battles was insane.

FF14

She is. You can wash off the shit just fine.

This. Loved all the their games but Pyre was kind of hard to get through.
