I’ve just uninstalled and removed Balatro after yet a near, very close 8/8 ante finish. I have been failing and failing, I’ve only ever seen and gotten to 8/8 ante twice, this being the second time. Every other run has been just insulting me to where no strategy has ever worked, I feel like a lot of it is RNG and pre-determined outcomes based on seeded runs.
And I hate that way of playing. It always feels like I’m getting smacked down by a troll bully who I can never overcome. They’d kick me down every failed run I’d have, then they give me a false sense of security the further I get. “Awwww, getting tired of being owned? Here, let me help you by giving you a few seemingly lucky breaks. SMACK Oh! OWNED YOU AGAIN! FUCK YOU! LOLLOLOL! I BANGED YOUR MOTHER, GIT GUD, NOOB!1”
I just don’t understand why these kinds of games are around, even when I have a good idea who it is for.

Yep. Don’t know what it is but the game is just so annoying sometimes for no reason. And under the hood it’s just the same gameplay loop as games like GTA. Go here, kill people. Go there, protect this guy. etc.
I think I’m like 4-5 hours in and so far I’ve slogged through snow really slowly with some fucking assholes I just want to shove down a mountain.
When does it get good? Do I ever see the sun?
You should be close to freedom. The intro to that game drags a bit, for sure. If you stick with it, one thing I’ll recommend is - take your time. The story tends to compartmentalize, kind of like the intro, so you can be better off ignoring it in favor of just faffing about (which is the best part of the game, imo).
No idea why they started with all that linear mess. I persevered and it got much better. Very impressive and detailed open world once they unleash you.
I agree that the first 5 hours are kind of meh but it gets amazing once the world opens up
Even though I liked it I find it to be the game that huffs it’s own farts the most. Cowboy simulator
