I’ve been playing Free Realms since it went live last Tuesday, and I’ve found it an enjoyable experience except for what seems to be a recurring error. After winning key card game matches, the game informs me, “You Lose.” …After winning. I know I won because:
1: I won.
2: My opponent lost.
3: A screen comes up, telling me I won.
4: I receive a playing card as a reward for winning.
All compelling cases for winning. Then, a second screen pops up with a, “Wa-wa-wa,” sound and bold red letters saying, “You Lose.”
That means I have to fight the same opponent again. Only, it’s harder the second time, and the third and fourth time. I have to fight the same opponent five more times before I win again, and this time I see the screen:
“You Lose.”
…But I won.
WTF?
What kind of B.S. is it when winning doesn’t result in me winning? The conditions given for winning the game was as follows: “You must win the game.” This isn’t some kind of Sinister Choice scenario where I rescue Gwen Stacey with my web, only it turns out she’s dead already, and the Green Goblin flies by on his glider and laughs at me. It’s a fucking card game. If winning isn’t good enough, losing is like double-losing. What else do they want me to do? Beat my opponent so bad they get thrown out of their virtual world and into reality, where I then have to fight them to the death with battle swords? Fuck you.
