Title: The game isn't bad...
Post by: Fiach on January 18, 2012, 08:57:51 AM
It's just hard...

So claims the developer of Amy a survival horror game, so in PR speak, does hard, really mean bad?

I'm so out of it, I didn't even know that was a game (I thought you misspelled the name or something). Still don't know much except that it apparently sucks. Plus I guess it's a console only game and I tend to ignore those.

Haven't heard anything about that game myself - there are so many games that it is difficult to keep up.

It's good to see these kinds of postings so at least we can be aware of these titles.  :-X

I don't know anything about Amy, but Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are widely regarded as both Hard and Great, so it worries me if a dev has to tell people its just Hard and not crap.  Granted I've enjoyed plenty of games that weren't highly regarded by the vast majority, so you can't totally go by the public either.

edit  lol I typed "amything"

The Freudian slip is not necessarily "meaning something else" but thinking about something else that gets mixed up with what you're half-heartedly saying :)

You, for instance.. by lecturing spaceboy you might have thought about how your mother kept telling you how rude it was to lecture someone and maybe beating it into you yet you keep doing it.  >:D

However, given the proximity of M and N on the keyboard, it might have been just a typo. That goes both for space and for Fiach. :)

lol -  I think Fiach's was intentional.  That is a bit of a joke quote I think, taking the standard "say one thing and mean another" and adding the Freudian's Oedipus complex spin on it.   I saw a quote that said more specifically  "say one thing and mean your mother".

A friend of mine made a Freudian slip when he was having dinner with his wife. He meant to say "Pass the salt", but instead he said

You've made my life miserable, you rotten cow

Regarding that PR guy defending Amy: someone really should explain to him that insulting your customers' intelligence isn't exactly going to win them over ::)

A crap game by amy other name... ;) :-()

Sometimes Freudian slips are hard to cover.

On a train:

She (staring out the window)  ::)
He (mumbling to himself): Stick up your arse a feather.. >:D
She: Excuse me?  ???
He: Oh.. I said, particularly nasty weather.   :angel:
