@Artuurs -To drill into my subconscious a bit- I suppose the symbolic potency just isn't there for you is it?

To you, -I'd assume- you see a hideous 3D model that should have stayed tucked away in some anime artist's "student folder" never to be seen again and who's very presence here -to be beheld by your gaze- is an ocular assault.

To me I see a delightful attempt by one clumsy, impatient, -and perhaps desperate-, yet earnest (cuz they didn't use an anime template) and honest efforts. This says to me "I put effort into this to make it 'me' my own unique expression", and I'd agree! But it's more than that, this is someone's soul-essence brought almost pure for us to spectate, unique, idiosyncratic, personal, expressive, clumsy. Almost as if I'm opening up someone's diary (not that I'd do that, that's SUPER invasive) and I get to see -in a way- into their mind.

The single worst bad game I have played -among many- is "Commando Dog" less so because it's uniquely worse than the others but because I didn't feel any "Soul" in that work. It's as if I was playing some cookie-cutter experience produced from a factory or something, harrowing in a way. The stock assets, the lazy game-design, the "safe" story, the lack of any risk-taking BORING, SOULLESS.

In contrast, the best bad game I have in my steam library is "Testbed Terror", while conspicuously superior to Commando Dog in many ways; Voice acting, gameplay, graphics, very few stock assets (or clumsily used ones now that I recall that cartoon cowboy model), pacing all that is secondary. I felt SOUL in that game; a more earnest expression of developer. The story starts out as a truly soulless shooter game, (which slowly picks up) but then morphs into a private dimension of the dev, and eventually into a 'dream world' (Literally just hell) where you go to set-pieces of the game's assets shortly narrated by the dev and eventually into a final confrontation with him! IDIOSYNCRASIES, SOUL.

-To be a tad grim- I suppose this preference in me makes me a kind of "connoisseur" (of crap) of games that I sense have "soul", this game has such a "soul" and for that it has a dollop or respect and interest. Surely you can think in terms of this? As gateways into other people's minds?.

And besides, this game doesn't abuse me like that bus game.

i..... i.. im... im sorry, i... i cannot, i just cannot, i cant, im sorry. No.

@Artuurs Philistine! You should try to appreciate effort when you see it.

im sorry, but id pick a repackaged model over this one any day.

@Artuurs Hideous? Why how mean!; I'd call it "Halloween ready", Personally I like the wacky "Baby's first Z-brush model" aesthetic and besides, aren't you a least a tiny bit tired of the excessively normalized "Anime waifu body standard"?.

Hey, at least give it points for effort cuz the it's not a re-packaged Anime model from some 3D database (or using the Default anime template in Unity er something).

that is hideous
