Convince me not to play... Octodad: Dadliest Catch!

Well, the thought of tank controls over a long period of time kept me away from Grim Fandango Remastered. So, let's try this again.

Thus I ask, why should I not play Octodad: Dadliest Catch?

Shitty controls is the game play.

Because there are far better games.
That is an excuse that can be used against most things, which can stop them trying new things that actually might be good/enjoyable.

You're not a famous youtuber and it's not 2011.
I don' think the year or my occupation actually cause a game to be good or not. I know youtubers do play games for reaction purposes, but I ignore those people. So I have to learn things for myself.

But is it enjoyable shitty, or terrible shitty? A bad game, like a bad movie, might have an enjoyable aspect in its terribleness. I say this as a person who enjoys watching and laughing at bad movies.

having never played it, I can't say. But octopuses suck anyways, so you shouldn't validate them.

Well you see those are the only 2 reasons why you should ever play that game, so if you don't meet that criteria then you shouldn't bother, or if you are planning to play it you better be drunk or high because that's the only way to be entertained by that crap.

Because outside of "hah! controlling an octopus with weird controls trying to be a human is so funny!" ( which only lasts for about as long as it takes you to read this sentence ), there's nothing to the game.

"Dadlyest" is such a bad dad joke it's not worth rewarding the guy that came up with that.

So I should play it while drunk, is what you are saying.

Something having no real staying power is a more real criticism then most of what most are saying. You get a point.

Dad jokes are meant to bad. That's what makes them good.

But does it make the game good?

New reason: tank controls are optional in grim fandango remastered. Bad controls are intentional in squid dad. You could be playing GFR instead.
