empathy
protip: empathy isn't just about being a sad boy when bad things happen to people, it's about having a depp understanding of human emotions, knowing what makes them tick which also means being able to connect with them and getting them to trust you, manipulate them or getting information from them.

Empathy is a skill, sociopathy is a personality disorder. If you think only sociopaths manipulate and lie you aren't ready for the adult world.

I've had this game sitting in my library for 3 years and everytime it's discussed I see people claiming it's commie shit, because apparently you can go full communist with the protagonist. But what about the opposite? Can you also go full fascist? And most important of all, does it actually shape the story or is it just flavor text?

>>
>>689447557
He's professional, moderate and well meaning. It's very transparent that he was designed to be likeable.
I do agree that his personality besides that is basically just a bunch of traits like his penchant for planes, cars and crappy radio stations.
His only major flaw is that he loses his composure when he encounters any -isms, but I'm not completely sure that was meant as a flaw by the developers.

Mechanically, being a communist is better. You gain XP from failing checks (as a communist, your character recognizes failure as an incremental step to eventual success). Facism actually causes psychic damage once you've internalized it and make fascist remarks. It only helps you by making alcohol give you plus 1 to any physique roll, which are rarely useful. A fasciat run handicaps you unless you supplement it with other thoughts

>>689435597
It's fun, if you enjoy reading and choose your own adventure books in particular, the voice work is pretty great and the art style is probably the best part of the game with the setting and writing being the close second. The "fun" in the game is exploring the branching story paths and how what you invest into as far as cop attributes translates to options for branching story outcomes. I will say the game leaves you with a kind of melancholc depression if you overplay it like I did, but I could just be fag, though I feel that's the intention of the work

Every ideology in DE is mocked through your character using it as coping mechanism and relying on the most stereotypical parts. You can try to larp as a wholesome chungus commie or a fash gigachad, the game will make fun of you for being a retard who cannot move on from his pains.

Communism in particular gets the most scathing criticisms and unlikeable characters throughout the game. Fascists have Rene, a likeable traditionalist who carried the monarchy on his back. Commies have the Deserter, a sad sack of shit living out his last days on an island after he abandoned his comrades out of cowardice, and killed a man out of a mixture of ideological hatred, sexual frustration, and possible manipulation from an insect.

The devs know their stuff because commie students you can find in the game appear to be making of Lysenkoism, which boils down to "make plants grow via communist magic 'n' shietttt".

>Is a huge retard who thinks he's smarter than you, you can easily walk through his authority plays and play them against each other, all while their evidence crumbles under the slightest scrutiny from a guy who calls himself "Sunset Tequila"
>Instead of trying to hide from the tribunal or evacuating the streets, they attempt to confront a professional mercenary group armed with automatic weapons set on putting out a slaughter with no concern for civilian casualties

And after all that, the game is trying to sell you the idea that he'd be a good sergeant. Fuck that dixie-larping faggot, Cuno mogs him every single day.

Just finished the game yesterday. The final reveal about how the murder was committed was so fucking stupid it made me genuinely upset and lowered my opinion of the game. The dude is shot to the back of the mouth with 4.46mm bullet that fails to penetrate through and apparently mushroomed on impact. Immediately I assumed he must have been incapacitated by drugs before the killing because shooting someone in the mouth that perfectly without even hitting the teeth is improbable as fuck. I was also willing to assume that maybe just maybe someone shot the merch in the mouth through the little peephole with an impossibly silenced weapon and klaasje either failed to hear the gunshot due to background noise or was just hiding the fact. Instead it turn out some old fuck pulled off the shot of the century from a distance of over 1000 meters through a panel if glass with a fucking 4.46mm projectile (shit long range ballistic), had the bullet magically not tumble to ensure mushrooming and not overpenetrate through the man. That is simply impossible. It is genuinely such a fucking shame because I really really enjoyed the game and it had considerable attention to detail and it fucks it all up with magical sniper bullets in the end. Such an unfortunate way to end a fantastic game on a sour note.

The phasmid was just making him insane. How does that enable bullets to disobey basic logic? And surely the phasmid making the guy braindamaged is a detrimental factor when it comes to making 1000 meter shots.

Considering the game was made by a bunch of estonians, it is kinda understandable that not a lot of attention to firearm realism was put into place. But 4.46mm is still a very baffling choice for a murder round. Considering 9mm is probably the most famous type of bullet in existence, it seems strange they decided their finctional sniper apparently rocks bullers that are almost twice as slender. There exists an IRL 4.6x30mm and that is designed for the low recoil MP7. Quite literally the opposite for what you would want for a sniper bullet.

It's an adventure game that is light on adventure and heavy on verbose "humor". Cool art and I like the notion of the different personality aspects being character's themselves, but they're overwritten and they all share the same VA which makes them not feel distinct enough

Unsurprisingly, the most practical and even-keel ideology gets lambasted by drooling retards that treat politics as a team sport and assume if the browbeat you enough you'll surely join their team, or at least join the opposite team so they don't actually have to meaningfully engage and can just regurgitate the same tired talking points over and over at you.

i appreciate what you're saying and why it would tick you off but 99% of people are not going to know enough about weapons ballistics for this to impact their experience at all. like yeah, attention to detail can make or break a game, but this is a detail that the vast majority of people would lack the knowledge to even notice.

it'd be like faulting a space game because the ships are able to escape the atmosphere with less energy than should make sense. like yeah... i can see how that would bother you if you work at NASA but most people aren't going to notice.

Constantine has higher Drama than Shivers AND Inland Empire. He has a vague sense of foreboding a lot of the time and understands when shit is 'off' but he doesn't have that much knowledge of the situation or a '6th sense'. He's all about tricking people and having a good knowledge of the occult. He'd be Psyche focused with Drama as a signature skill. He'd have lots of points in Encyclopedia, Volition, and then a medium amount in Shivers and whatever Motorics skill would be associated with sleight of hand.. Inland Empire wouldn't have that many points in it but would have more than 0.

I had a similar bout of autistic rage when I played Death Stranding. The people’s drug of choice in that game is oxytocin, and the way they use it is intended to be like them taking the drug to activate the hormonal release to build deeper relationships.

In real life, the drug form of oxytocin doesn’t cross the blood-brain-barrier, and so for it to trigger neurotransmitter release is fucking impossible. All the drug is used for in real life is to help stimulate uterine contraction during childbirth if the mother struggling to squeeze her kid out. Seeing people in DS act so thankful for getting their supply of “oxytocin” was like the icing on the cake of how fucking retarded that game was to me.

Yeah I usually dont go autistic about details like this, but I did here considering that a murder mystery was a key part of the game and the fundamental aspect of a murder mystery is figuring out the mechanics/logistics of carrying out the murder. Kinda like trying to figure out how a magician does his magic trick. Sure I prattled off a lot of technical details like bullets not tumbling, ballistics etc. But I feel like the fundamental problem that set me off in the first place should be pretty intuitive to most people, even with absolutely 0 gun knowledge. No nerdy calculation required like with spaceship fuel efficiency. Simply put 1000 meters is a bullshit long distance and an open mouth is a bullshit precise target. You dont need to be some expert to just imagine that distance in your head and conclude how magically improbable such a precise shot it.
>>
>>689470590
That’s definitely not the way the people you deliver the drug to describe it. I’m quite certain whoever OK’d the use of oxytocin in that game had no idea how it really works outside of what is commonly understood about it.

Then again, in MGS1 you were taking Valium to shoot better with a sniper rifle. Somehow that seems a lot less retarded to me, though.

Before I first played this game I totally expected it to end kind of like a game of Clue, with you having to pick the murderer out of characters you've previously met.
It's a bit silly how the murderer ends up being a character you meet 5 minutes before the game ends on a location you unlock 10 minutes before the game ends.

The only way ZA/UM can save the IP is if they make an indirect sequel where Cuno, inspired by FIREWALKER, takes up detective work in Revachol as a young adult. He's still a shit kid at heart, he still has issues with substances, he doesn't get along well with people, but he's trying his best, damn it.
>>
>>689479647
They should’ve just made up a fake drug and said it’s an analog of oxytocin or something.

In any case, this is just a huge peeve of mine. I’m sure 99% of people don’t even know or care.
