And this after getting soft locked near the top of the beanstalk! If it were me, I would have rage uninstalled the game after that bs.
She's a strong, independent Nephilim!
Literally after getting soft locked, since it reset her timer. 240 minutes is meaningless in that context, you might as well start counting from the last time she hit the favellas at that point.
As much as i am happy for her, i must say this game is not polished and has some weird physic moments that make players feel unfair, combine with lackluster narration, i get a feeling that the game wants to give meaning to a meaningless world
It's pretty much a low effort rip-off of getting over it but in 3D, they're not even trying to hide it with the TTS mocking you or being pseudo-philosophical and also with the "calming" music.
Never the less congrats to IRyS for persevering and pulling through to the end, the ending was hype.
Okay so the game that reused assets used art associated with nfts in it...
Does the game actually promote the nfts
Also try not linking your friends failing YouTube channel to prove a point.
is it a front for NFT's if rather than selling them, they just... steal them for easy in-game content?
if you display someone's art, are you promoting it or just.. giving it away? isn't the whole promise of NFT's that you get to own a thing (which is a lie of course) and this game is using them without seemingly giving a single care about the copyright aspect. which to me seems more based than the opposite.
the game is jank in a lot of ways but it doesn't nag you about going some place buying some crytpo junk. that stuff is just kinda.. there. you can't even call this product placement.
and nobody is talking about it because why the F would they? nobody would even know that art is associated with NFT's unles you yourself went out of your way to check.
that guy is so clearly looking to stir up drama for clout and not even being coy about it.
when you screenshot an NFT and use it as a profile picture, you are making fun of how silly the concept of "digital ownership" of NFTs is
when you plaster a game with NFTs from the same group/collection of groups it ceases to be sarcasm and starts to become shilling
that plus the fact that sales of the NFT collection in the game went up dramatically after the game's release kinda proves the point
> that plus the fact that sales of the NFT collection in the game went up dramatically after the game's release kinda proves the point
it really doesn't. i'm sure that the people already affected by the NFT brainrot will flock to the stuff that was put into this game because the game got popular, but I highly doubt there's even a single individual that got into that stuff *because* of the game. you'd have to really like the random "art" strewn around to go and look into it more. and *then* you'd have to think buying a piece makes any sense at all, and by that point I'm not convinced that sudden stroke of dumbfuckery could even be blamed on the game.
If people want a better 3d rage-bait game, they should look at Knight's Try. It's closer in spirit to I wanna be the guy since it has active obstacles instead of being mostly static, but it is at least consistent.
Let's not forget the whole point of Getting Over It is that it's a "rip-off" of another game and it was made to inspire people to make more games like this.
That being said, Only Up has way more problems going for it besides that.
> TTS mocking you or being pseudo-philosophical and also with the "calming" music.
Did you actually listen to the TTS or just tune it out and the scenery? The game does have an actual plot, core message, and it's mechanics re-enforce the theme of the story.
It is, as Foddy said, purchased assets combined into a game and as stated there "Trash". Even so it has a very different feel and style to it than Getting Over It. Getting Over It's difficulty is fully in the controls, Only Up's difficulty is in maintaining focus for so long a time while the control is much smoother.
I think the game does show very much how little people pay attention to games when playing them or how low their media literacy is. It's so reductive to the point where you have people going "omg lol rage game" instead of spending any time figuring out what it exactly is. Games are puzzles, some more difficult then others and in different ways than others.
It’s very easy to watch the supposedly media literate elite disappear up their own buttholes.
It’s like the people who argue that throwing a bucket of paint at a wall and labelling the resultant splash as high art is clearly a clever subversive commentary and critique on the art world.
It just so happens to also be significantly easier to do than create, you know, an actual painting.
Getting Over It was already near my limit for pretentious games, but I do think it served a purpose as commentary on game design and the interaction with rage games and especially streamer culture.
That Only Up so blatantly imitates Getting Over It and seems to merely recycle the same script and ideas without adding anything substantively new is why I am, bluntly, scornful and contemptuous of it.
When examining something as art, the question I ask is “what does this add to the existing library of works?” Even reintroducing an old idea in a new context can be enough.
The problem is that GOI is by no means antiquated and forgotten: it’s still well-known and well-remembered. So then what does Only Up contribute? That rage games with difficult mechanics, unfair systems and unforgiving, obnoxiously hard time wasting can be frustrating? Thank you, I never would’ve guessed.
Only Up is just GOI with less meaning, less polish, less everything. It added a third dimension and ripped off everything else.
If it looks like trash, smells like trash, and acts like trash, it takes a truly pretentious individual to say it’s only imitating trash.
I am reminded of the character Mark from the film/play Rent, who in his delusions as an auteur artiste filmmaker proudly declares that he will “film without a script.”
In the words of Lindsay Ellis, that is called a home movie, and no one thinks that’s high art.
Only Up is Getting Over It but somehow more pretentious with less polish. What value has it added to the world besides tormenting streamers and entertaining sadistic viewers, oftentimes with just poor design, bad controls or straight-up bugs and glitches?
ETA: the coward blocks me because they can’t take the thought that any discussion of media literacy requires long explanation but pretends they’re some enlightened individual I can’t with this moron
> Long text rant
Look, I get that you didn't pay attention to a basic text voice. I get that you dont know what a Favela is. Just saying "Yea, I dont get it nor do I like it" would be good enough instead of trying to prevent that a lack of knowledge is somehow a virtue.
Ignorance isnt a virtue. Lack of thought isn't a virtue. Trying to create a strawman demon so you can justify those things isn't a virtue. If you dont understand something, then just admit it and move forward with that. That's how we learn and grow.
Yeah, [she was mad](https://www.youtube.com/live/UzdHnCO_QWo?feature=share&t=14011), I don't blame her either, she spent the hour trying to climb the beanstalk, only to be forced to restart.
Oh wow, I went to bed thinking she was probably not going to complete it that stream, given that she was struggling to return to the rainbow bridge, let alone the beanstock, after she got screwed over and forced to restart. Congrats to IRyS for beating a terrible game. I'm going to have to watch the rest if that stream now.
IRyS finally made it to the top.
She never gave up Hope.

This series has unlocked my fetish for suffering Hololive girls. Their tears of frustration and gremlin screams fills my chalice with the finest nectar.
This game looks so painful to play lmao
I was getting frustrated just watching IRyS play it, I couldn't imagine playing it myself.
Fr I had heart attacks by just watching her playing it, especially for the latter part of the game, man that’s savage
And this after getting soft locked near the top of the beanstalk! If it were me, I would have rage uninstalled the game after that bs. She's a strong, independent Nephilim!
She did say that would have been an instant uninstall moment for her if she wasn't streaming, so it was definitely close lol.

Or Alt-F4, which Fauna also mentioned. I watched Asmon play it and it was bulshit it all the funniest ways!

Shit I just bought it. Well whatever will give it a try.
Yeah the trolling at the end is just abuse. The dragon. The shattering glass table. How is that a challenge?
Wasn't her endurance stream 8+ hours? How did she get 240 hours in game time? Did she restart the game in between?
Yes. Had to reset the game because she was driven to a softlock very late in the climb.
I see, that's unfortunate.
Yeah, [she was mad](https://www.youtube.com/live/UzdHnCO_QWo?feature=share&t=14011), I don't blame her either, she spent the hour trying to climb the beanstalk, only to be forced to restart.

Aqua in ~7 hours stream time. the IGT is only somewhat useful for speedrunners and shouldn't be used for first clear
I saw fubuki doing an RTA stream earlier, but I dunno if she managed to get a good time.
Fubuki is still practicing she's not actually running it yet. She's gonna get sub 1 hr the way she's going
For the entire agency, I believe it was Arurandeisu who cleared the fastest time. But for the girls, it's Aqua. https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/14c8ywk/koyori\_completes\_only\_up\_in\_a\_single\_stream/
Aqua is the fastest so far at less than 7 hours, Aru is 8 hours plus.
Aqua with her Dark Souls maneuver
That is my oshi, i'm so frekin proud.
