Talk:Ed Edd n Eddy: The Game/@comment-3526495-20161118192654

While everyone else seems to be gushing about this story, I feel this story has way too many flaws for its own good. Stuff like "The game asks the player for their name, their cell phone number, and the player's address" is just way too unrealistic and stupid. If the person playing had any common sense, they most certainly would've have even BEGUN playing at the sight of that.

It seemed the story was trying too hard to shove scares down the reader's throat in places where it was totally unneccesary. All of the "side effects" mentioned at the end, as well as the whole thing about the DVD being mailed to them just seemed like shallow attempts at creating any sort of real horror. They just seemed like the first go-to thing the author came up with to make the story seem scarier.

The roughness of the in-story game did help with making it more convincing, though. Get rid of all of the real-world stuff and I could see it being feasably made and uploaded as an attempt to scare and/or confuse people. There's been some attempts at doing that (station, lostboy, sad satan, etc) and they've all been pretty effective at being cryptic and spooky (even if most of them are malware, to be fair).
