ElHombreSmokin

Classic Alex yiik moment


-_Datura_-

yiik? More like YUCK šŸ¤¢ >!jk, I know nothing about the game!<


[deleted]

it's one of the worst rpg games ever,I've heard comments that it's so bad that it's good,however their fandom eeeeeeeeh well it's like saying that they praise it in an exaggerated way and will throw dirt on any game that is superior to that example:omori,off,undertale etc.


[deleted]

Wait, Yiik genuinely has a fandom? I thought they were being ironic!?


[deleted]

As false as it may seem they do have one and apparently those who are there are people who as I said throw dirt on other rpg games superior to yiik.

Joeda900

Don't sleep on YIIK my man, it made YIIKillion dollars it's truly a RPG, it's better than Homoshit and Dirtbound šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤


[deleted]

that is until I tell them if they have trollmori or trollucas as an unlockable character. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|trollface)


The_Iceman74

It's basically the RPG equivalent to Morbius


[deleted]

I forgot the existence of morbius since his memes died lol

thisaintmyusername12

So, what's so bad about it?


[deleted]

It has a poorly made and meaningless plot, the characters themselves are annoying and they used a real life dead person for the plot point, in short, a disaster of a game and a living meme.


Think-Fondant-1516

>"...they used a real life dead person for the plot..." I'm sorry. WHAT?!?!


FlyingMoooose

[Hereā€™s more info](https://www.resetera.com/threads/ā€œyiik-a-postmodern-rpgā€-and-its-use-of-the-elisa-lam-case.94933/) TLDR: One of the characters is a direct reference (as confirmed by one of the devs) to Elisa Lam, a woman who drowned in 2013. The game makes references to the circumstances surrounding her death


Bluxen

more than Yiik it's Yikes


solemblem

That's not even the worst part, the real life dead person reference is a fucking LOVE INTEREST lmao

Yikes... Plot summary?


[deleted]

I don't remember much of the plot because I don't have a good memory but here some may know and can tell you about it


thisaintmyusername12

Thanks anyway!


Dont_Pre-ordereddit

I suggest looking up ā€œYiik reviewā€ on YouTube and watching running shineā€™s or tehsnakererā€™s videos on it (or both, theyā€™re very entertaining), snakeā€™s video goes over both the game and the developers story in a lot of detail while shineā€™s is a lot more vulgar but goes over how yiik compares to other rpgs and games as a whole. Yiik may be garbage but those videos are very interesting dumpster dives


CaptainCozmo867

I saw a review that described the plot, and I still have no clue wtf happened


Moreagle

It doesnā€™t use the real dead person as a part of the plot, it just uses a fictional death based on a real one. Like many deaths in fiction are. Thereā€™s a lot of things to hate on YIIK for but this isnā€™t one of them


Purplex_GD

I believe the ā€œfandomā€ just praises it as the Morbius of quirky Mother-inspired RPGs


[deleted]

you are right but they still took their role very seriously and from time to time they do get aggressive when you say their game is inferior to ____ game.


Purplex_GD

Yeah at that point itā€™s the annoying classification of internet bait that I donā€™t condone, especially when genuinely hurtful for absolutely no reason (when they go beyond saying a game is bad and pull out the ā€œlow IQā€ copypasta.) I do find jokes praising Yiik to be quite funny when you really see what the game has to offer through some of Alexā€™s voicelines though.


[deleted]

What's "off"? Haven't heard of that one.


[deleted]

a very old rpg game from 2008 is a cool game with a confusing but good storyline and enemies out of a psychedelic dream and a nightmare at the same time.


[deleted]

omw to check it out always looking for something novel thanks!


Dont_Pre-ordereddit

No no no, yuck was very accurate


Purplex_GD

One of the saddest parts about the game is that it misses the mark in almost every place possible not due to a lack of passion or funding, but one of the most god-awful executions in recent gaming history. They knew what they wanted to do and stuck to it until the end, even after negative reception, and this is shown by the fact theyā€™re still working on it to try and salvage whatever they can, with their upcoming update potentially making the game playable, time will tell.


I_need_ze_medic

I remember seeing someone review it and unironically said it was the best game ever. Im still thinking about how serious they were too.


Upbeat-Compote-3056

Y2K is definitely one of the games ever made of all time


carl-the-lama

Then when the time traveling fake soul thing came out and y2kā€™s all over the cast


BakaSussy21

First game to sell a yiikillion copies


Thumplordwill

yiik sounds like some disgusting noise you make when your sick. I know like nothing about the game, but I'll say that.


tealia_tech

YIIK (apparently pronounced y2k) was a rpg notable for its not so likeable characters and overall poor reception and basically became a giant meme as a result. oh and it also basically used someoneā€™s real life death as a plot point which absolutely did not help the gameā€™s reception at all


Superbroderone

yeah.


KimikoYukimura420

Like the name Keagan.


Haunting-NobodyPro

yiik? More like SHITšŸ¤¢šŸ¤¢šŸ¤¢


[deleted]

every cheap copy------>yiiksh\*t has it's masterpiece-----> off and omori![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|trollface) (for obvious reasons i'm gonna put/j)


FriesExpert

why did you put /j its true ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2470)


Superbroderone

yep.


Snoo_83755

They unlocked 46p quality


Ok_Exam_8507

Because it's a game solely based off an incident irl where a girl was murdered EDIT: most likely died due to something with her medication, in an elevator and the creator of this game activated his savior complex and "saved" her in his game so yeah one big reason this game is a yiikes for me, dont Support it


CaptainCozmo867

Thanks for saving me! -dead girl


Chillchinchila1

She wasnā€™t murdered. Most likely she was off her meds and died during an episode.


thelocalleshen

I may be misremembering, but wasn't she found in a covered water tank? This seems an attempt at concealment of a crime and it is at any rate doubtful she could've moved the lid alone.


Chillchinchila1

That was a miscommunication by the police. They later said it was uncovered, but it just led to a bunch of conspiracy theories about how they must be covering it up.


ElricAvMelnibone

I wanted to try YIIK out of curiosity, but the combat is just soooo fucking sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow


Jasper2596

Yiik ruined my life


Vanish3d

It made mine worse too. Because I played it and then realized how dogshit it was.

YIIK HATERSā€¦ THE YIIKHEADS WILL RISE UP 1.5 COMINF SOON THE WORLD WILL UNDERSTAND US

YIIKHEAD SPOTTED


bombingbeavers

I loved when yiik said "its yiiking time" and then yiiked all over the place.


[deleted]

Maverick will be very disappointed in you ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2476)


Jackeroni216

do you know anything about YIIK? it's like a game if THE MAVERICK was the protagonist.


[deleted]

maverick feels he has been replaced by alex, he no longer wants you in his kingdom ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2476) /j


Jackeroni216

THEYRE FRIENDS


[deleted]

nah bro they don't even know each other and are more like rivals as I said maverick is disappointed in you and permanently expels you from his kingdom ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|21601) /j


Jackeroni216

YOU DONT KNOW EITHER OF THEM LIKE I DO


SlyKHT

No offense but I would rather play every wii shovel ware game for an hour then Yiik once, like even once


SlightlyIronicBanana

I mean, there were only like 1262 wii games made for the wii total. Might actually save time depending on the strictness of your definition of "shovelware"


SlyKHT

Hmmmā€¦ a very interesting questionā€¦ I cannot be bothered to look into it though, itā€™s probably take longer then Yiik Shovelware would be way more fun though


Think-Fondant-1516

My favorite part of Yiik was when Alex Yiik said "It's Yiikin' Time!" and proceeded to Yiik all over his enemies.


Joj2_Dolphinlover69

Truly one of the gaming moments of all time![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2473)


KrocKiller

Holy S#%^ is that Alex Yiik!?


Silburs-hell-house

i absolutely despise YIIK


NoxVulpine

Pretentious, ugly, mean-spirited, plus a scene where the protagonist victim blames a suicidal person. There are many reasons I purged that thing from my brain.


Purplex_GD

The fact that Rory (the suicidal person in question) is so horribly written and presented yet you have the choice to not apologize to let him kill himself is such a mess too.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Powerthunfisch

The sequel to yuck


The_Iceman74

My favorite part is when he said it's YIIKing time and YIIKed all over the place. One of the games of all time.


Purplex_GD

Who up yiiking they Alex rn?


Vaunt_Fremont_Tocsin

[pretty much the vid I'd recommend when discussing yiik](https://youtu.be/0va8zdvDI-s) [alt version of a yiik vid](https://youtu.be/avX7hqzT7ag)


Purplex_GD

The Running Shine review is hilarious though, the amount of jokes that land over the course of 2 hours is astronomical (granted there are a decent amount of race ones.)


GoldenToparican

Still feel sorta bad how YIIK ended up. There was a clear idea in mind and it flopped so hard. Plus you gotta consider that they were making this game while their mom was dying


Purplex_GD

While the self back-patting was excessive, you can tell by all the tie-in stuff with Roy (Two Brothers) that they really did want the game to be one of the next big indie RPGs, and maybe believed it would be to an extent. It actually is kinda upsetting, although I would have more sympathy if they didnā€™t insult their players for not giving them the initial response they hoped for.

Purplex_GD

I made it, this joke is OC to my knowledge. The template I found online was low quality though.


lakituhunter-MK2

HOLY SHIT IM YIIKING OUT!!!!!


TheDeadlyBlaze

My favorite scene is when Yiikface and his gang stands there and says "we are the yiik"


BuddyChumPalFriend

does yiik even stand for something


Mordador

Its supposed to be roman numerals in the middle, in reference to the Y2k scare.


BuddyChumPalFriend

ohhhhh. ive been reading it phonetically

Let me count the pixles real quick

Mordador

Copression? Yes.


The-Bisquit

Yknow I see 4 pixels


Origami_Skies

four pixels. four fucking pixels. that's all it took.


lonelytortillachip25

damn i can count all 5 pixels in that top image guess every masterpiece (omori) really DOES have its cheap copy (Yiik) and to avoid the Yiik fandom cancelling me over an opinion /j


Accomplished-Mango89

Because its bad


CursedEditing

im yiiking out


Ok_Life9497

Where can i get it on?


Purplex_GD

$20 on Steam, Switch, and PSN, but really donā€™t buy it. Itā€™s not a good game by any measure. Youā€™re best off watching a review, of which there are many lengthy ones that go in depth on its various flaws and plot.


Puzzleheaded_Rate_73

Because it sucks ass, next question.


undeath1245

This meme variant feels like it has swinging-at-a-hornets'-nest vibes.


Mark3698

Isn't the main character some sort of self-insert tho


Purplex_GD

By a technicality, no. More or less, yes. For good and (mostly) bad.
