I've recently played through this and I'm wondering if I should get Joyful and play it as well
>>3441682it's okay. if you're interested in the lore of the setting, go ahead. gameplay-wise, it's pretty different since 90% of the focus is on buddy, but it's worth it i guess.
>>3441687excellent contribution.
>>3441682get it on sale or pirate only if you're curious, it's not as good as painful and feels more like fanfiction written by a feminist dyke
>>3441715Filtered
>>3441682If you really want to, then go ahead. Keep in mind that it’s an epilogue DLC that DL never wanted to make, but had to because it was a kickstarter goal. DE does bring some improvements, but it still has some problems. If you’re unsatisfied, I’d recommend getting Pointless, Hopeful, Vegaful, and the various other LISA fangames to fill the void.
>>3441715How is it feminist? Especially when the ending was about how Brad, despite all his flaws and mistakes, truly loved Buddy from the bottom of his heart, and only wanted what he thought was best for her.
>>3442562you have to understand that a female character taking her life into her own hands and killing dudes is threatening to 99% of gamers
>>3442575She ruined everything, and fell into her biological father’s plan like a fool. Now she’s a preteen single mother, has a mutant dad, and she’s likely one of the last people alive in Olathe.
>>3442581okay and
>>3442586And I think it’s insane to call any of that feminist. Throughout Joyful, she’s just repeating the same mistakes Brad made, and it ended up costing her the last person who genuinely cared about her in the end.
>>3441682Joyful is a goated game
>>3442949It’s not
>>3442554Timeless, Unbreakable, and a few of the mods for Pointless are worth a try too. LISA The First also finally got an official Steam release not too long ago.
>>3441682Did you beat the new secret boss?
>>3443397Best family
Joyful is a mixed bag. It has some really great music and parts of the story are great, other parts aren't and my biggest problem is it definitively answers some questions that were left ambiguous in Painful that probably shouldn't have been
>>3444878There are still plenty of things that never get answered.
>>3445385They deserved better
>>3445822Special thanks to Martin Armstrong for ruining lives
>>3445385Brad fucked her.
>>3446001I can’t believe one man ruined the entire world
>>3445822
>>3449622Cute and haunting.
>>3447032eesa an bwad
What if R63 Lisa?
>>3451458BoyBuddy would be the luckiest bastard in the entire world.
>>3451616No, men without women for years is one thing, women without men for years would probably be horrifying for BoyBuddy, unironcially keeping BoyBuddy inside his home is the ideal scenario.
>>3451890Big Sis Randa can keep him safe while he repopulates the world
>>3451890It can’t be that bad. Besides, he’s not the one who’d get pregnant, and humanity has a much better chance of survival in a world of all women and one boy. FemBrad would be far more unreasonable than Brad too.
>>3451985The thought of BoyBuddy treating his sister like shit genuinely upsets me.
>>3451890>world filled with sexually-starved women>they've all got amazing farmer's tans and muscular bodies>but their breasts are saggy because no bras>their skin is pitted and rough because no skin cream>their pubic hair hides unknown threats because no shaving supplies>they're all catty and violent because of the stress of living in a post-gendercide non-society and blatant addiction to any available vices Truly, this is hell.

>>3453833Neat
Is there really nobody talking about Undone on this site?Shit is genuinely the most mechanically in-depth LISA fangame I've played.
>>3456882I prefer DE
>>3456882Maybe if you're retarded, then sure. Nothing will beat 1.3.7 Pointless.
>>3457114It has its moments >One of those bullies beat you up. Busted your face up really bad.>You didn’t want Dad to find out, so we stole Mom’s makeup.>Heehee… we tried to hide your wounds… but I did such a bad job!>Hehe I made your whole face bright pink! >It didn’t match your face at all! >I even put lipstick on you. Hahahaha. Which only made it worse! Hahahaha.>Oh my gosh it was so funny.>You had such a huge grin on your face. I’ve never seen a smile that big.>You even started dancing! Hahaha.>That was the most fun I ever had…
>>3457922Hi, nope!
>>3457922Hopeless is better because it’s a finished game.
>>3457949heard garbage island finally got done... LOL!
>>3458961Why were Brad’s friends so awful?
I think it’s sweet that Brad took Buddy back to his home with his friends to raise her, even before he knew she was a girl.
>>3457949You mean Hopeful? Hopeless isn’t out yet.
>>3459009Yeah.
>>3451458Did Buzzo cut his foreskin instead of his nipple?
>>3458989Brad: "dude im gonna trust with this big ass secret. please don't tell the world we have a girl"Brad buddies: "SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP SHIT THE FUCK UP"
>>3459576That, or one of Sweetie’s balls.
>>3459577Brad deserved better friends. It’s funny that Columbo had more respect for him in the end.
>>3460019But that’s sad.
>>3441682Joyful is much shorter and less mechanically complex. You aren't really exploring a huge world collecting party members, instead just go from boss to boss until the game's done.however, it does answer some final questions and gives an ending to the franchise.It's good.
>>3457942This inclusion is retarded. If Buzzo knew about this, and made the masks to torment Brad, why would he have any reason to go after Brad? Shit writing at its finest from that faggot, Austin.
>>3461336It eventually led to Brad being forced to rape Lisa. Buzzo is also a complete nutcase, and projects his failure to protect Lisa onto Brad, since he’s incapable of taking accountability for his part in her suicide. Long story short, Berny’s a complete psycho on par with Marty, and I think it’s in character for him to still torment Brad despite knowing Lisa’s happiest memory was with her big brother.
Should I play Pointless now or wait for the update?
>>3462956Just play it now. MU is never coming out.
>>3452129>>they've all got amazing farmer's tans and muscular bodiesBro? Almost all men you meet are ugly and fat or skinnyfat.
>>3463320What the hell have they been doing all these years?
>>3465490Jerking off to cross dresser porn
>>3464367Cool
>>3470854I ship it
How the fuck did implementing Disco Elysium tier inner monologues make Joyful so much better?
>>3471148Why isn’t Buddy already a psycho in this? She already took Joy in Painful, and even one dose is enough to fuck you over.
>>3471127NO
>>3471148Rando being a freakshow attraction in the past is an interesting addition, although I prefer Clint being the right hand of Rando
