Suda having fun shitting on tourist culture.
I feel like people are kinda weird about the intentionally annoying stuff in this game cus
1. It really isn't THAT prominent? Like it gets pretty annoying towards the end but most of the time it's pretty chill.
2. I feel like it's more like the game is laughing with you and not at you. Like this feels like a friend doing something to piss you off in a funny way and not the weird "Suda is exposing video games as the vapid waste's of time they really are!!!!" "Anti-game" (ew) thing that most analyses of this game seems to think it is. Also most of the walking is chill you guys are just impatient lol.
Also one of the only comedy games to be actually really funny. Having this kind of rigid structure that most the days follows means that anytime something slightly out of the ordinary happens it's hilarious. I love my helpful himbo sumio mondo!
Sundance repeatedly saying "remember me?" and nobody remembering him as a reference the fact that he was going to be in the silver case then he got scrapped is so funny.
Oh also i played this in a kinda weird way lol. I had the japanese ps2 version of the game on my main monitor, The lparchive walkthrough of the ds version so i could understand the dialogue on my second monitor, And the fan translated version of the physical losspass guide book whenever i needed to look at that in a separate tab on my second monitor. I know the DS version added alot of bullshit that made the game a lot harder to bare (Probably where most of the perception of this being a drag comes from) so i legit think this is the best way to play until either that remaster suda's been talking about for years gets released or the fan translation of the ps2 version that was being worked on at the beginning of the year actually gets finished.
