	[quote name="Bananadine"][quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]In other news, Twat Central proves more resistant to <a href="http://www.actionbutton.net/?p=190#more-190">Caltrops' particular brand of not-trolling</a> than I hoped :([/quote] "I didn’t understand how the more competent players were moving around, defending and attacking the way they did. I couldn’t so much fight as flop about like a fish, and was killed, torn apart and consumed as such." "But this is a kind of player: this game has little to offer the player who cannot take enjoyment from simply learning the game, from the process of sorting the unintelligible into something that works. Most people aren’t." I like this second bit because that is a huge part of what I enjoy in video games. But he really doesn't explain very well how this particular game can be so hard on a new player. It sounds like any other fighting game, except in that, for unspecified reasons, an "old hand" couldn't figure it out very quickly... which is a shaky foundation for a review of that length. "Bear with me, here: this anecdote has something to do with a videogame. What my analogy is hamfistedly reaching for is that both I and this game are, to a point, inaccessible." This part is totally Pitchfork. They are Pitchforking video games. :([/quote]
