Now that the dust has settled: what is /v/s verdict on look outside? Kino or cringe?
>>724650063cringekino
OP sucks cock, instead discuss who's the best girl and why it's Spine.
Double Roaches is overpowered as fuck. Whatever you do, do not solve the civil unrest amongst the roaches
>>724651923he really is, the shock spell hits like a truck and the fireball spell melts everything that has meat on it + it's cheap as fuck, also i fucked myself over by not buying massacre princess earlier and with only 3 days left i can't genuinely finish the game and get that ending anymore this playthrough, managed to do everything else though, except the mask ending and the spider companion no one seems to know how to get anyways
bought it because i thought the theme and all the art i was seeing on /v/ were neat but i think the game isn't for me so i'm probably gonna refund it
>>724651923i like the pattern of "completing a party member's sidequest makes them insanely op" personally, especially because a lot of them seem to require days of investment
>>724653117I would unironically play Massacre Princess
>>724653117I thought I was smart giving Audrey the training belt to make her bodyslams do 300 damage, and then roaches just does 300 damage AoE and paralyzes for the same MP cost.
>>724650063subtle white genocide propaganda
Lyle seems pretty solid with spamming his kicks, but Philippe truly seems OP. All you gotta do is spore them up and then use the skill that inflicts statuses on spored enemies, they get like every status in the game inflicted on them. Been using it to trivialize a lot of bosses.
>>724650517I love her, very nice to see her grow from an enemy Frankie forgot to put in the game to having so many special interactions.
okay i know audrey is kind of shit but her healing skill being able to crit is really funny
>>724650517>"you are my only entertainment">has two other roommates>"i'll give you space">touches you in your sleep in the same dayWhat a worthless whore.
>>724651923>can suggest communism to the roaches
okay no seriously what the fuck are these plumber tools for
>>724650063exploring the basement with 8 days left, lost progression a couple times now due to rushing since you have to frame of time on what has to be done.unclear timelimits make exploration games shit as fuck
>>724653117>traded it for the katanaI know about the ending but idk man that thing is wild on Hellen
Is there anything special about the sword Charan gives you or is it just a slightly stronger Claymore? Either way, I tried going back to him the next day and ended up in what appeared to be Henderson's BDSM dungeon
Protip: If you're running Sophie, never give her back to her mom
>>724658032Why? You can give her back if the mom isn’t cursed.
>>724658032you creep you can take her back out after a couple days
>>724658513>>724658545She stops accumulating the special marbles overnight.
Undertale and Deltarune will always be more popular because people are horny for goats and teeagers, but Look Outside managed to carry the real Earthbound torch forward.
>>724658772Well that’s fucking regarded but thanks for telling me.
>>724650063Don't look outside? Well fuck you maybe I will, brb
>>724658829You've never played Earthbound.
So what the fuck is the point of the meat realm?
>>724658962>regardedreddit moment
>>724659323That's insulting. I'm gonna kick you in the ribs.
Why is the music in Eugene's home so eerie?
>>724659454Talk to the nerds in robes, you'll figure it out, I believe in you.
How much of the new content is accessible from a perfect ritual save?
The new grown up rat sprite is adorable. I love my rat son
>>724650063Good game.Shit save system
did the dev add the jasper fight yet
oh my god you can blow up the meat door in the lights off apartment now
>>724657271Maybe Confusion and Stretchface are complete assholes, ever thought about that? I mean Spine will back off and leave you alone but there's no pacifying them at all.
It'll need another round of fixes (and hopefully some new artwork for some of the new endings) but I reckon 2.0 might have locked this in as my GOTY
What does the small red key you get in the meatverse do? Nothing comes up online...
what the fuck is this supposed to meanwhy does the pancreas revive itself
>>724660562they don't want to remake and/or molest sam is the thing
>>724660992If you don't immediately know what it's for you probably did it wrong. There was a bad warp that let people get further than intended when they entered through the flooded apartment.
>lyle's outcome in the promise ending is the same whether or not you complete mazes & wizardsrushed update
>finally get to the basement>unlock elevator, so i can finally get between floors quickly and get my earth and mars discs back>power goes out one day lateralright i'm actually kind of pissed about thisalso the astronomers are gone? did i run out of time? i'm supposed to still have 6 days left
>>724650063Real question: I got spoiled about the paintings, the teeth, the mushrooms, the ending and most of the game's various quirks.Is the game still worth playing in spite of such huge spoilers after this new update?
>>724661242Destroy as many organs as you find, in the shortest timeframe possible. It'll be well worth it when you find pic rel
>>724661627Wait, so I wasn't supposed to use my first iris key in the flooded apt meat door? So the key does nothing for meAlso this is my first run so I decided to just literally kill everyone so I'm not really mad if that's the case but would like to know for the future
>>724662067i can't find any more organs, there's just a hole that leads to regualr floor 1 and two locked doors on meat floor 2
It kind of pisses me off that I have to select stew mix carton before can o' beans if I want to make bean stew, and vegetables before beef/pork if I want to make meat with vegetables
>>724661801Check the area around the elevator for the electrical box
>>724661242This is fucking stupid the pancreas is infamously terrible at regeneration
>The crown turns to dust in your handsFUCK you. What the fuck.
>>724662539imagine being a traitor to your rightful king and then getting mad you can't take the crowncould not be me
>>724662539NOT.... WORTHY.
>>724662539KNEEL next time ,peasant.
>Unity ending>Promise ending>Anime ending >Mask (currently bugged) endingAny other endings or are these all?
>>724662067managed to beat her in cursed mode and only by killing the stomach and the lungs, they were the nearest and i can't be bothered to spend like two days just going around meat world, i've got wordpuzzles to solve
>>724660562Never speak ill about Sam's original roommates again, you duplicitous crone.
>>724662616i saw on a steam post that you can gather another four mc guffins for a different ending, they seem to be time gated to the first five days though? also i never quite understood the deal with the alternate meat version of sam's apartment in edwin's place
What is the better team full of assholes?>Phillippe, Dan, Sophia>Phillippe, Monty, Xaria
>>724662965you can use a sapper charge there to blow a hole into the wider meat dimension, and the enemies there give a bunch of XP, but i don't know much else
>>724663098no i meant what's the meaning behind spine, stretchface and whatever, like the symbolism lol
>>724663203Read Edwin's notes, they're acquaintances/friends he disfigured and locked inside his apartment as he was going insane
>>724650063I don't like the new Promise or Unity endings, but every other new addition was greatGreat game all in all
>>724650517Sorry I mistyped, meant to say Hellen
>>724663536I thought Unity was a cool concept, but I can understand some people not liking the lore implications. Promise was way too saccharine without as much bite as even Denial, but I suppose it's fine to make the last update ever to have a 100% good ending so people can stop arguing about it.
>>724663536Promise was generic as fuck but I liked Unity even if anyone ever writing that would be retarded
>>724663721Denial was already the super saccharine ending
I really don't like Cursed Mode. It changes things around where you pretty much have to avoid everything until you hit the ground floor.Joel, Papaneau, and Ernest are no longer "free" party members. They are needed to be given items that you have to scavage for. I'm 100% positive that party member encounters at the door are disabled until you clear the land lords apartment. It's pretty much a Sam solo until you unlock the basement.Item locations are changed around and you get half the cash from safes. The pistol is no longer free. Not only do you have to beat the Grinning Beast, you have to pay $100 for it. The old rifle is moved somewhere else and I haven't found it. Probably removed from the game.
>>724662606>>724662596>>724662609I'll try kneeling and then committing regicide I guess...
>>724657271>>touches you in your sleep in the same dayYeah that's weeks later to her.
>>724650063some earthbound romhacker read genesis 6 conspiracy/pardise lost and learned that the preflood world was full of genetic abominations and nephilim-dervied hybrid horrors, so he made a cartoon game to scare zoomers with it
>>724664026So?>>724663797This.
How are the RPG mechanics?
>>724661242Why not chop it up now while you're there so it'll take longer to regenerate?
>>724664115>So?So she did give you space for a long ass time, from her perspective.>>724663721I like Unity as another perfect "oh no" moment and also that it mostly lines up with how i already interpreted the setting. Promise is pretty meh though and isn't even all that good of an ending between all the little details. If Sybil ever stops forgetting for even a single moment all society might be gone forever since the "We are different" statement is never shown. Plus there's already signs of discontent brewing in a new world of reality warpers.
>>724664271Depends, if you "spare" her an hour or so before going to sleep then it's only been a day until she crawls into bed with you
Alright, I got all the fake freds, but what do I ask the real one to duplicate? I already have decent armor and accessories—do I just get a second Champion's Belt?
can you play this mouse only ?
>>724664480Coat of arms, duh.
>>724664673why would i use that thing, it makes my stats go down
>>724664715Because more action economy is insanely OP in a JRPG?
>>724650063Kino as far as RPGmaker games go. Why the fuck are RPGmaker games always so good?
I'm torn on it, yes it's a visual treat and the entire story and atmosphere are wonderful, but as far as a GAME goes it's just bog standard RPGmaker stuff. The dev is also unfortunately a massive faggot redditor so take that into consideration.
>>724664854You're right, I'll only be playing vidya from Mihoyo and Team Sneed from now on
>>724664917I don't know who those are so I assume you are being a faggot because I insulted your boyfriend and implying I play games by outlandishly shitty devs, in which case your mom
Why is it that Lyle can eat meals but Audrey has to perform repairs on herself? They're both mechanical on the outside and fleshy on the inside.
>>724660187Does he get better stats?
>>724665017because lyle should be dead
Where the hell is the Uranus disc?
If you make your name Ash, Williams, AshWilliams or EvilDead you can still use the two handed chainsaw and shotgun after losing your arm saving the rat child
>>724665017>They're both mechanical on the outside and fleshy on the inside.Lyle's still more flesh than machine if you look at his burning sprite
Even though the anime ending is obviously a joke, it still bugs me that the visitor can be defeated. I get the whole joke is that you are gaslighting it into thinking you can actually defeat it and are capable of killing it rather than you physically having any power over but it still seems a little too possible and that bugs me, the fact that there is legitimate logic behind this ending takes away the bite the visitor has
>>724665206I thought it was less tricking it and more exploiting it's reality warping powers to make yourself into the anime jrpg hero in your head.
>>724665048Yes, he gets a reasonable boost to SP and HP a day after he hits level 12.
>>724665138Groovy.
Does Sam reap any reward from putting Summer's dirty panties in her washing machine or is he doomed to do menial work for women forever?
>>724665206POWEROFFRIENDSHIP
so exploring the meat dimension takes iris keys? i found one in darryl's hole but i don't know if you can trap yourself by opening them in the wrong order
>>724665815>SummerI want to fuck that thing
Would you eat the Sibeef?
>>724650063The meme anime ending is peak cringe. The meeting with the visitor was the best part of the game and he turned it gay.Never trust leftists not to fuck up even something that they made good on accident.
>>724666808>crying about a funny joke endingIt's no different from the alien endings in silent hill, lighten up dude.
>>724665206>>724666808I legit don't get how you niggers can be offended by a joke ending
>>724665967You can't fully explore that place anyway until you enter it 'properly'>>724666808It's a shitpost ending, just image it's the last firings of Sam's anime poisoned brain before blissful oblivion if it bothers you so much
>>724667025/pol/troon mental illness is the reason
>>724667025I never said it was offensive, I think its funny. But i just think it's funnier having the Visitor one shot you for even attempting in the first place.
>>724667002>>724667025>>724667056>crying>offended>just pretend it doesn't existPathetic, the lot of you.
>>724667065Seethe, domesticated spearchucker.
alright i got jasper to admit sibyl existed but then he told me to fuck off, who do i have to talk to next to progress this route?
>>724667149Yeah you were crying about leftists for some reason in your cringe ass post so naturally people are gonna call you out.
>There a people in this thread that are too dumb to realize the denial ending is Sam inadvertently suffocating earth to death
>>724667283Don't worry, Sam will just store his extra limbs in space or something
>>724667283b-b-b-but it's good because the narrator says it is (his continuous growth without sustenance directly conflicts with the opposite ending needing to assimilate people to grow)
>>724667263>people are gonna call you outYou're not people, projecting tranny.
>>724667283>faggots in this thread still pushing this lie
>>724667559>can't go one post in a thread without posting about muh tranny boogiemanLiterally mindbroken. I'm glad you're too autistic and terminally online to be able to enjoy a good game like this, you don't deserve it.
>>724667283
>>724663923Hope you spared the rats, Anon
>>724663797>>724664115Denial is literally just Truth but Sam still has is mind but is delusional about what's happening
>>724668593>uhhh, actually you're just hallucinating in the good ending, and it's the same as the bad one!>heh heh, get subverted kid!!!lame mindset. i rebuke you.
>>724668593no it isn't
>>724668593I think you are the one in denial here
>>724668105>>can't go one post in a thread without posting about muh tranny boogieman>Literally mindbroken. I'm glad you're too autistic and terminally online to be able to enjoy a good game like this, you don't deserve it.
>>724668956>>724668908>>724668691Not him but the dev never resented nor deconfirmed that explanation.
>>724669125>no, he has to deconfirm my theory that completely contradicts what's stated
>>724669125yeah but see i don't care whether it's 'objectively' true or not. it's boring, so i have made it false.
>>724668535I've been avoiding them intentionally, but I killed one pack.Rewound since I didn't talk to Joel's brother Benjamin and he leaves on day 3, so have been clean of killing any atm. Going to be a challenge to figure out how to kill the rat king if I kneel first and everyone gets charmed.And I discovered something I had somehow never done. You can check medicine cabinets for healing items and toothpaste. Makes recruiting Joel a LOT easier.
>>724670301i just fought him like three times until after kneeling nobody got charmedpain in the ass to find him in the hallways though
i think i just wasted my last iris key
>>724665081Ground floor monster bar bathroom - that's the door to the left of the bus crash.Get it? Uranus? Bathroom?
>>724662965That's the Words of Power Ending. I heard there were 6 new endings so that's one missing.
how the FUCK am i meant to figure out that pluto has five moons, i've been fucking up the equals sign lock for like fifteen minutes assuming it and earth were opposites
>>724671192i thought pluto having five moons was common knowledge
>>724670954actually, can anyone confirm that killing the organs opens up more paths in the section you're already exploring?
>>724671243when i was a kid there was only one!
>>724671192Buddy, you can look this shit up on wikipedia. The thing that's tricky is the Sun, because it's not moons, it's objects trapped in orbit
>>724671192there's a room in the ground floor that you can insert a disc into and it'll tell you its value
>>724671454yeah, there is! it's behind a door lock! that i can't open!
>>7246711921. there's a chart explaining most ingame planet values2. there's an ingame way of checking disk values if you're still a fuckowucko3. you can look the general info up online (trivia)4. you can look up a Look Outside guide for this specific infoNiggerNiggerNigger
Kino. Could be better but I like it more than a lot of other AAA games with multi-million dollar budgets.
>>724671079it's not. Words of Power is a bad end tied to the crossword dungeoni'm pretty sure those are meant for the Mask Ending if anything, but i'm not certain
>>724650063Abso9lutely kino writing, art and music. Personally I found the gameplay fucking boring though.I find most indie RPGs dull but this one had a particular problem in having complex team set ups and weapon builds but the game's over long before you've had any time to explore it. By the time you even get a rifle you have about 10 minutes left.
>>724665138KINOOOOOO
I think it'd be cool if all the Frederics had their own little versions of Dissociation if you engaged them I know Face Taker is supposed to be the big boss but fighting Godhead in complete silence is awkward
>>724668593No it isn't. Even if that's the dev's intention (it isn't) that is incredibly gay and lame so I choose not to believe it because it's fiction and the story is better if you're wrong.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRs8AavKdA8yeah it's cinema
>>724671192The real question is how the fuck were we suppose to know Void = -1?
>>724650063Its fun. The art style is extremely gay though. Not a single human, everything is mystery meat or a monster.
>>724662067Bloodborne reference?
Do you need to start a fresh run to open door behind fish lady?
>>724672382Other than the Iris Key in the parking garage I think there's a spare somewhere in the flooded apartment.
Is there any point to sparing Spine? I killed her in one turn this go around
>>724650063there was a major update dude, the dust is fucking flying all over the place
>>724673138no
>>724673138Dunno yet, but her utterly bemused reaction at me blowing a hole in the wall and going out the front meat door was worth it
so is there still no reason to ever use the scout radio or metal detector?
recently started playing and im stuck with these 2 chucklefucks, they good?
>>724673316unfortunately
>>724650063>rpg maker """gameplay"""">dude ancient one lmao >but also magic???>whacky charactersso fucking cringe it goes back to based againonly good thing about the game are the monster designs
>>724673316Them being a package deal is their biggest strength for earlygame and biggest drawback lategame
>>724673214dog tag guy freaking the fuck out when you set a charge right in front of him was hilarious thoughalmost worth the fact that there's fucking nothing behind that blockage
Do you just not get party door events on the first couple days in cursed mode? I've restarted like ten times now and nothing
Rato really got buffed, i did a playthrough with him before and he was shit but now his copy skill actually works and does some decent damage
>>724650517she's nice when she's not insisting on remaking youmaybe I'm asking for a little too much but it'd be nice if you could give her a cloak like Lyle and take her back to your true apartment
>>724661242I wish my pancreas would regrow ;_;
>>724650063i really enjoyed it i will start playing it soon again since 2.0 is out im just waiting for majority of the bugs to be flushed out. i noticed anons saying some shit is bugged
>>724671062it's not there...Is this something in cursed mode or is my save fucked
>>724674007In cursed mode the Uranus disc is located in the Arthropod Apartment's restroom. You have to kill Clyde, Auguste and Jennifer and use the keys on the door
>>724674007Any mandatory progression items that could just be easily grabbed in normal or easy for free generally require boss kills in hard mode
>>724674151>reflexively grab the top-left painting in frederic's studio>turns out every wet painting has different colors and you have to go in and out of the room to see which one is blue>can't replace the painting in the canvas bag anywayFUCK
So all I have to do to not get visitored is to focus on vidya?
>>724674430That, and do not directly look out the window. People who observe the visitor indirectly seem to be better off.
The OST is really great as a whole but no one talks about how perfect the final boss song is, shit gets me hyped every single timehttps://youtu.be/rTM6BQ1XlXc
>>724674430nah that's not safe, the guy in the furry/clown apartment got bit by a random bug that snuck in from outside without even doing anything and turned into a fucked up wasp hive
>>724674628Also the teeth apartment.
We need art of this doom cover but with Sam killing abominations>>724674547yeah me too
>>724650063near the end I was just pressing A a lot in battles
>>724674547I think it's impossible to talk about how good that track is without all the other tracks in the game because this game actually builds upon previous tracks and does the leitmotif thing.
>>724674547It's pretty much the "main theme but epic for the final boss" that's been mentioned in best video game trope threads for as long as they have existed
>>724674430You won't get changed by the visitor but other cursed can still fuck you up.
>>724674430Is it a GameBoy or a smart phone? Or maybe vague on purpose?
I have been replaying the first day for almost 2 hours now, and literally no party members have showed up. I'm convinced cursed mode doesn't have first day spawns unless someone tells me otherwiseProblem is, how am I supposed to beat the first encounter solo without using skills to save the SP for the hallway encounter, then?
>>724675691Go to bed
>>724673138She sleeps with you and you get some extra dialogue, depends if you're into that or not
>>724675843this ugly son of a bitch is fucking super hot abominations and basically, you are fucking stupid
>>724675754Are you shitposting or do party NPCs not show up until day 2 on cursed
>>724676018You probably just got bad RNG, you could just save and try it
>>724676120Can't save on day 1, which is why I restart at the late night cutoff if I haven't got a party member. Look, I'm not asking for Hellen before noon, but fucking ANYONE would be nice
>>724675496What. How do you do that?
What do you do in this game? Turn based rpg with branching decisions or something?
>>724676290Interact with the TV while holding an Iris Key
>>724650063So ive killed the furnace and basically am ready for the old endgame on my current playthrough. What else is there to do. Also will rat boy ever get stronger i though he added another growth stage to the game.
>>724665138just the chainsaw or two handed weapons on general?i miss one-handing the claymore
>>724676370This fucking game, man.
>>724676416You need to go onto the next day for the rat bab to evolve
>>724675843Im happy to see spine FINALLY gettimg the respect she deserves
>Old Photograph in Henderson's apartmentUhhh, what? Is this used on him during the fight?I nuked him and Audrey is wearing his cannon already
>>724677458Part of a super secret ending
>>724677620The alternate cursed ritual thing? Guessing the glitched game is involved in some way too
should i take all the shit in the landlords apartment?
>>724677620Is that for the shadow ending? im trying to work towards it, but i fucked up getting a rose
>>724676352Sort of? You're stuck in an apartment and shit's freaky. There's some degree of randomness and timed exploration events so no playthrough is completely identical. Your goal is, on paper, to just survive 15 days. But in that time you'll find other objectives and possible endings and characters you might miss on a first playthrough.
So who/where the fuck is the recruitable "Spider"?
>>724650063I can swear it was call don't look outside
>>724677710Yeah, the glitched game can be used in the meat version of the apartment where Spine is
>>7246580322.0 delayed the Sophie sex & rape mod but its progressingstill waiting on the poll to decide if we keep the current art style, or "anime-fy" it slightly, or anime it up hard
>>724662616"anime ending"?
Is the protector of earth ending supposed to be the good one? Seems fucked.
OH N-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mvZF_QjEyM
Total visitor and mutant death.
>>724678636You mean Denial? Yes. There's no going back, there are no refunds, you can just make the best you can of the hand your dealt and help each other out through the bad times.
>>724678636I prefer Promise for filling all the gaps in that particular ending as well as keeping the astronomers alive
>>724678510You buy the Japanese weeb game off the dude that sells games door-to-door and refuse to give it back to him, finish it and learn the meme meteor skill that costs 999 STM which you can't use. You ask the four astronomers if the visitor can be killed. Then you do the ritual like normal but you have an extra option to (attack) like a retard. On the last turn when the visitor annihilates you for like 8 million damage, you can use the meme skill instead, because it only costs 1 STM. From that point, everything is kind of schizophrenic.
>>724678883Its the one where you turn into an ever growing monster and befriend humanity. It looks like you outright engulf the planet.
3 hoursNo day 1 NPC companion events. Only got the cursed version of Sophie's mom once. Seriously, is this intended?
>>724678942>It looks like you outright engulf the planet.It looks like you're holding close and protecting it, as stated in the ending text
>>724675496PERSONA 4 COLLAB??
>>724679092that still isn't ideal
I'm going to get the game, what difficulty should I play on?
>>724679092Describing a horrific outcome in feels good language doesn't change the reality that an ever-growing planet engulfing monster exists and is everywhere with no escape.
>>724679297Describing a fine outcome in horrific language doesn't change the fact that there is a kind and loving neighbor who will labor to protect nurture earth for all time.
>>724679231Seemed easy for me though n the hardest difficulty, but that was before the latest update.
>>724672061>the Visitor gives of reality warping effects>What if you just take advantage of the warp reality effects and change reality completely to kill itI mean, that does sound like a viable option
>>724679231Normal is the intended difficulty, but I will not judge you for playing on easy mode for your first run or for achievement farming.Do NOT play your first run on hard. Hard is for if you've beaten the game before on normal or easy and know exactly how you'd do that optimally.
>>724679386Thanks
>>724679386>Hard is for if you've beaten the game before on normal or easy and know exactly how you'd do that optimally.Meanwhile I'm STILL just trying to roll a single companion event first day on cursed just to do the optimal run start so I can get papa, leigh and joel to actually survive in said cursed modeYeah I'm seething
>>724679364>just accept the ending with a planetary monster that expends all the earth's oxygen and watches/feels everything and everyone, not to mention all the loose ends that aren't tied upno
>>724679589>that expends all the earth's oxygen
>>724679589What makes you think Sam even needs oxygen at that point? He's been up in fucking space without a suit.
>>724679589>>just accept the ending with a planetary monster that expends all the earth's oxygenNigger he grows without eating you think he needs to fucking breathe? You think the massive amount of the population who now have access to reality warping powers is going to starve to death?>watches/feels everything and everyoneHe very clearly is not capable of focusing on everywhere all the time all at once nor does he want to. People are more than capable of privacy even without pocket dimensions, he's just there for anybody who needs someone to talk to.
Eternal Fate is the most kino ending.>b-b-b-but this one is more positiveI don't care.
>>724650063I was surprised to find the creator added updates to this. I thought it was a done deal after the release with only minor bug fixes. How much content is there compared to 1.0?
>>724679646>>724679671>A deafening whistle erupts from all around you as you exhale through eight billion spiracles dotting your colossal form. You feel as though the entire world heard you exhale.
But what happened to Sybil?
>>724680064>exhaling, not inhaling>what was exhaled is not specified
>>724679769>b-b-but le eldritch horror world hamster planetI don't care.
>>724680204>splitting hairsHe still has a respiratory system.
>>724679769Me laughing near the center because I can still feel my penis.
>>724680269Then don't reply, woman
>>724678929ohhhh. OK, thanks. That's kinda funny lol. hilarious ending (i doubt ill ever get it, sounds like a pain)
Honestly, all of the endings suck. It he visitor should be killed or punished for its evil. The best we get is some anime meme ending?
I GOT DAN FINALLY
>>724681362>punished for its evilAre you evil?
>>724663536>>724663721Unity is a kino ending that recontextualizes denial and truth. It's the perfect lovecraftian nightmare. Promise is a bit more realistic in that you don't just kill the eldritch god being, but it's just too sappy and sentimental, and it ignores its own lore to give Sam a happy ending where he isn't transformed.
>>724661630lyle is just fated to be a pathetic loser, and all the people who imagine him as a gay babygirl get dabbed on
>>724663889>Hard mode is hard.Just don't play it if you don't like it.
>>724681362>evilone of the astronomers literally describe the visitor as a blind man probing around, unaware of what hes doing. evil implies intent, hes more like a cosmic force of nature, but we can communicate with this otherworldly hurricane
>>724664715Stick to Final Fantasy, retard.
>>724667283>The retards pushing for denial being a delusional fever dream are delusional.Ludokino....
>>724681743Exactly, the whole point of Cosmic Horror is that it doesn't give a shit about us. It simply exists and by existing it breaks our tiny monkey brains.
>>724680310long leap from that to "expends all the earths oxygen". you're just forcing a point thats not supported by what we're shown in that ending
>>724680310one which he uses out of habit rather than need since he actively extends into space
>>724667283Nothing stops a new world to be built OVER sam
>>724682094Sam is clearly supposed to call to mind Yggdrasil in Denial. And frankly, wrapping around the planet's atmosphere and hiding it from other possible threats is probably not a bad idea. Imagine if there's more than one being like the visitor and that one is hostile.
>>724663889what?i got helen on the first door visit lmao
>>724663889i played games all day for the first day, then the punk + goth knocked on my door in the morning day 2
>>724661627Wait, so you aren’t supposed to just stumble into the Sybil boss without talking to her in Apartment 35 first?
>>724650063I feel like this was a strong year for games and this is my 2nd favorite of the year
>>724682605In the original release of 2.0, you could fight Sybil from the water apartment. That was a bug that has been fixed. You have to talk and beat her for the key for the unity ending.
is there a canon ending in this game?
>>724682872The Final True Ending.
>>724682872They're all varying degrees of suck.
>>724682661Every year is a strong year if you know where to look and it's very rarely in AAA.
>>724682916is it hard to get? I like to go for the canon/good endings on the first playthrough
>>724682837Thats retarded. They should have made it so beating her is a requirement to talking to her about it, thus branching off from there (kill the “human” sybil for the key, or stop there).
>>724671243I mean do zoomers even learn about it since Pluto was demoted a few years ago
>>724681479>>724681743Any threat to humanity is evil, and, therefore, my enemyThe righteous thing to do is eliminate this envoy of entropy for humanity's sake
>>724683274>he doesn't know
>>724683049Was this the first year where AA games were blatantly better than any AAA? Look Outside, Hades 2, Blue Prince, Clair Obscur, Silksong, Ninja Gaiden 4(not sure if it counts), all better than any "major" release
>>724683165Why is it 12, anyways? They'd have to be counting Ceres and one other weird dwarf planet. But there's more that we've observed nowadays.
where's the patch that makes every human white?
I saw it had a small patch not like an hour ago, I'm guessing just bug fixes?
>>724683515Apparently trans rights and replacing Whites is more important to the dev chud
>>724683593are there actually any obvious trannies in the game?
>>724680142Nothing. In the ending where you do fuck all for 15 days, the Visitor takes her and fucks off. She is basically "The One" that caused the Visitor to realize Earth exists, and came down to see whats up and take her, most likely taking an interest in someone that acknowledges it.In one of the newer endings, she just lives sorta normal after repressing and forgetting the memories of how she saw it, realizing the truth about it all that would have caused everyone to die almost instantly, and her feelings for Jasper
>>724680142She was the first witness, the one who saw a patch of missing stars and wondered what happened to themand then saw it on every step of its approachthe Visitor felt itself being observed by a novel stimulus (when it normally only is ever observed by itself) and sent a node to send a probe to investigate.
>>724683352Look Outside is definitely not AA, most everything was done by Frankie and Eric armed with a handful of freelance sprite artists.
>>724684029I was under the impression Edwin was the first to see it
>>724684148Pretty sure he was second, the exalted four pretty much say sybil was first one to see it then showed Edwin next. Then the other 4 astronomers got their visions and Frederic painted it and showed the rat king.
>>724684148Sybil was the founder of the group of astrologers because she noticed it first. Edwin later joined to help the group study it more
>>724683741Incorrect. Her remembering does nothing. You make her remember in the promise ending and she just wipes her memory of it immediately. I am firmly in the camp that her belief isn’t fact, but the power of the visitor makes observations reality. Hence when Sam reads it, it immediately happens just like she said, only its being spread by Sam. Other people didn’t just randomly get affected by the information, they’re being destroyed by Sam who is reacting to the information and making it a self fulfilling prophecy.
>>724684360I like this interpretation purely because it makes the anime ending less of a shitpost and more Sam actually turning the power of vidya into an information hazard.
>>724684360Doesnt really change much of the outcome. She was already infected when she thought of this theory or realized this truth and wrote it all out, so it didn't trigger. She would have caused it herself had she not been infected. Sam would have been the first "clean" person to view this information and realize the truth, before the molecules in his body all come to the realization and starts fusing with every molecule around him. Her forgetting is so that this information literally never gets out ever. If its just a case of "abusing" the Visitor's reality warping effects, or a case of the information being the actual truth is up to interpretation.
>>724679375the funniest part is not only is it not bullshit but it's entirely likely based off the game loreliterally changing your sense of self to kill an evil with the power of vidya obsession is pure weebkino
>>724679570You're not getting early papi, he requires 6 klysox now even if you reach GF on day 1.
>>724684941Isnt that essentially what the astologers did too? They perform some random ritual that they "just know" that will turn them into a godly being to try and talk with the Visitor? Although if that were the case, they would have been more conscience, but they were clearly struggling to stay in the right of mind if it weren't for Sam.
>>724685109Yeah, it's likely why the Exalted Four was able to commune properly in one of the endings because they realized what they were doing wasn't wrong or bad
Getting Aster while not sacrificing Joel, Ernest, or early Janny is fucking awful. Why did they make him so hard to get?
I always believed in my best friend
Could anons of 4chan kill the visitor with the power of memes?
>>724685963I am pretty sure you could post the low tier god meme of “you should kill yourself now” and the Visitor would think “I should, shouldn’t I?”
>>724685963>killI'd fuck her.
>>724686078>her
>>724686106If you imagine hard enough, the visitor can become your waifu.
>>724685963>instead of CCTV footage, record a special video as an offering>visitor asks “what is this?”>tell him to watch ithttps://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ
>>724686181do us both a favor and go look at it
>>724650063kino with a (big) side of cringe
>>724685087Isn't it Cleanerex, since you use that to make Herbicide? Just get some from Vincent and Jeanne's apartments (before Jeanne becomes a hydra), then buy some from Eugene
>>724685963Would need someone with exceptional will/clarity of mind to impose their own will upon the world around them/their own form instead of being subsumed by their surroundings and random thoughts.You basically have to Dagoth Ur your shit to have a chance of becoming god
>trying to do the planetarium puzzle>keep fucking it up somehow>realize it's because I put pluto in and kept trying to find another slot that didn't existFUCK you my solar system has NINE PLANETS
>>724686705Or use another god to fight a god, like /pol/ with kek?
>>724686784There's seven planets, five interesting rocks and a bunch of extra garbage nobody cares about
>>724685656
>>724685656That's not your friend, that's your gaslighting victim
>>724687084Wrong.That is a sinner.You are his Judgment Day.
>>724687189Well his judgement ends up looking like Frieza's hell being drowned in niceness
>>724686053>>724686280Kino ideas
I just unlocked the basement. What’s the best way to get papineau, aster, and phillipe?
Can you find Sybil in the Meatworld if you've already made a promise to her in Apartment 35? I want to get the Unity ending on my Promise savefile but I can never find her in the flesh world no matter how many Iris Key portals I open
>>724688894You use to be able to. They apparently took that away.
>>724688843Aster requires you to talk to all four astronomers and then talk to him again with only three party members or less.Papineau requires you to reach the ground floor with two party members or less, or get the janitor key and free him from the janitor closet on ground floor (iirc).Phillipe is a spoiler. Best I can say is act like a complete retard when the time comes.
>>724650063I avoided this game cause I don't care for brown people or games where everyone is brown.
>>724689096no one in the game is brownthey are french
>>724689137Even worse.
>>724689159Worse stillFr*nch-canad*an
>>724682872The only canon ending is Failed Ritual because Sam is mentally retarded.
>>724650063One of the higher quality indie jrpgs that's been made. The level of detail and polish is head and shoulders above every piece of shit that got shilled here in the last few years like Omori, Sea of Stars, Deltarune. Instead of feeling like it was made by someone to work through their own depression, it feels like it was made by someone with actual taste and appreciation for game design.
>>724689080So do I go through the sewers and unlock a gate?
>>724689225No Going Back is more likely than failed ritual. If sam went for it then he at least got the chaos quartet up, otherwise he stayed in his room after day 3.
>>724689225What about the insane schizo coloring out of the lines failed ritual ending?
he's just standing there...
>>724689225ahem
>>724689780What Gamer Skill (TM) would Sam learn from Grand Theft Auto.
>Get to Police Car with Audrey, Roaches and Hellen>Aim for the kill shot on Sam>Hellen stalks>Roach sets up 2 swarms with rat gloves>Audrey body slams for a big hit>Everyone is set up for a big attack next turn>Use Thunderoach>Roaches goes first and takes out the last 90% of its health by doing a whopping 800 damage
>>724689826He would gain the ability to beat prostitutes to death. This move has 100% accuracy and guaranteed to kill on contact. It also costs 0 stamina.Unfortunately it is worthless on non-prostitute enemies.
I ask again, why are all the characters in this game brown?
>>724689826>Crunch Time: 9 Stm, Progress your uncleanliness meter by a %, Target party member does a normal swing twice
Am I missing something with the rat child? Why is he so shit?
>>724689919Papineau is right to believe he'll fail at his duty to keep the apartment clean. The Roaches are unbeatable now.
>>724690103You love himBut yeah he's a bottom 3 party member but name yourself Ash and you don't even sacrifice anything mechanically
>>724690162What's this about naming yourself Ash?
>>724689192>Fr*nch-canad*anthis is 4chan, not discord
all these new endings just seem lame as fuck honestly. the original perfect ritual endings were perfect and the new ones just feel like a copout where nothing actually bad happened and everyone is happy and normal.
>>724655345Where is that? I don't pay any attention to that shit usually.
>>724690436Being a leaf is an affront to all existence.Get raked.
>>724690412
>>724690412You get to use shotguns even after losing your gun arm or chainsaws if you lose your melee arm if you name yourself Ash, after the Evil Dead protagonist.
>>724690471this, the dev is adding only pointless fluff. The first release was perfect as is.
>>724690510Okay, that's actually pretty damn neat.
>>724690517>the dev is adding only pointless fluffHard disagree, new party members, new quests, and new apartments/areas are all great additions, its only the endings which are a bit lacking but even then Unity is great horror. My initial run i ran out of apartment to clear by, like, day 7 or 8 and spent the rest just doing unnecessary vidya and fishing for scenes.
>>724690493go back
What should I do with Rafta? I know I can save Eugene even if Nester dies, but those worm monsters are a big problem if they proliferate
>>724690517I think the new endings kind of suck, but I think all the new stuff added is great since the last time I played the game there were too many things that felt like they had no point and were useless. Now almost all of the things like that have payoff.
>>724690605>unnecessary vidyaFake gamer, your Sam will never be Earth's champion and Visitor Slayer.
>/v/ when the story has a happy ending
>>724690661You're the one who needs to go back. Or like, at least show up on April Fool's day for the memes, faggot.
>>724690662Just leave Rafta in her tube. There's no real good end there.
>>724690436>>724690661>newfag doesn't know about the day of the rake and the leaf menacelol!
>>724690696All endings are canon, including the one where Sam locks himself in his apartment for 15 days after seeing his neighbor cut an eyeball out of his stomach
>>724690725>leave her in the tube>she just comes out later and fucks someone else upMakes me very anxious and uncomfortableMisewell get it over with and slaughter what I can
>>724690696denial WAS a happy ending, for both humanity and sam. humanity and earth was irrevocably changed forever by the visitor, but still survived and began rebuilding and sam was very happy with his new appendages.
How are phillipe and aster as companions? I haven’t heard much about them.
>>724690812But you're sacrificing poor Nestor to do it. Guy didn't do anything wrong. Also, you'll sacrifice those other bathroom dude the body parts want to infest.
>>724690931A necessary sacrifice2 men die to save hundreds, if not thousands, later
>>724690865I also think its the best one for adventure. Sam will help rebuild shit but there's still going to be months to years of trying to make society safe again and reclaiming wild, mutated lands where every house could be a pocket dimension a hundred times larger on the inside. You just set up an adventurer base on the outskirts of a sector of suburban sprawl and clear room by room, fighting off the criminally insane with weird powers then go back to your comfy outpost at night and watch movies and play vidya.
>>724683583I wasn't able to explore too much, but I think the new patch updates the Teeth apartment. I'm on Day 4, when the apartment starts to morph, and Benjamin is transforming from his "gone" state.
>>724691187The kid becomes an enemy after all?
Do you still need to have less than 3 companions to recruit aster?
>>724691005Except that Sam IS the visitor. Just like another Sam is the Masked Shadow and another is the Oculus.
>>724691187I don't actually understand what's up with that apartment. The mouth closed on me, stayed shut for two whole days, then opened back up and the apartment was normal and not teeth again.
>>724691247I haven't gotten that far, but that's what it's looking to develop into. Teeth Apartment seemed a bit incomplete once the mouth re-opens. Makes me wonder if I shouldn't have recruited Joel/Killed Madison/explored it at all. But that's for my next run.
>>724691360Every living thing on Earth is the visitor from the last time it was in the neighborhood.
found some character portraits in files, ik the eye in bottom left is the spider portrait. anyone have any ideas how to find the secret companions yet?
>>724691474Except the game makes absolutely zero sense if that was some sort of universal truth and not just cognition.
So I started Cursed mode. Letting the early enemies mutate, dramatically helps out.I got a Combat Knife from a merchant, and was planning to do a Papineau bloat build, but picked up Hellen on the second day. Used her to get Leigh. Just gotta get some toothpaste and I can grab Joel and move onto the actual game.It's a pretty solid update.Painful Stab fucking rules. The 10% current HP DOT is so fucking strong. I harvested almost all the Witnesses for the most XP they can give, and most of it was just me blocking. If Joel was even a bit easier to get, I'd have min max'd the shit out of it.
>>724691380It's just unfinished. Apparently the dev is working on a later version of the tooth apartment. He accidentally made the general layout of the final place accessible in one build today, this one I believe https://steamdb.info/app/3373660/history/?changeid=32022301
>>724691504I don’t they’re actually recruitable. They may be scrapped content.
>>724691550Huh, interesting.
The new patch definitely changed something with the Tooth Apartment. I can't access it on older saves anymore. The door is just shut.
>>724691568bottom left one (spider) is definitely in the game, has dialogue for lyle dungeons and dragons. unsure about top left. bottom right is in game as a shopkeeper but im not sure if recruitable
>>724691636Spider isn’t in the game. I’m sure Frankie intended to add him but just forgot to add him.
>>724691523Too bad all "new"/"retconning" lore in the game was thought of at least a year ago and hadn't been implemented in the game at release due to time constraints set by Devolver.
>>724650063how is easy/hard is this game?i never finished funger 1 or 2 cause I'm a scrub
>>724691618I wonder if Joel has a quest, or the apartment counts as his quest
>>724691748Not nearly as hard or trial and error like as funger, especially on normal and easy mode.
Respect to the nigga that made this game and keeping it updated. That funger nigga could never
>>724691748Why does everybody always compare this to funger, it's clearly sweet home
>>724691865Because both are RPG Maker games that deal with body horror and otherworldly events.
>>724691748The hardest difficulty is pretty rough and only for people who really know the ins and outs of the game. The standard difficulty on a blind run I'd argue is harder than your typical RPG.
Sex with emmanuel!https://files.catbox.moe/rf83ve.png
>>724667283The narrator is not unreliable. There is no reason for Sam to be completely deluded. Nothing in the game suggests this and reusing sprite art doesn't change that.
>>724680064The same scene implies you don't even need to breathe are you blind
My new theory is that all the pizzas Sam receives are ordered by Lyle because he's a fatfag, thoughts?
So if you want to recruit every companion, you basically can’t anymore because you can’t have more than 3 party members to recruit aster?
>>724692303It could be like Papineau. There's a limit at first. After he joins you can recruit whoever you want.
>>724691865Because nobody has ever played Sweet Home. I remember having a collection of NES roms burned to Dreamcast CD and it included the old translation of Sweet Home. I never got very far and never went back to it. That experience is more than the majority of people have with it. At best its “oh yeah isnt that the original resident evil on the nes?”
>>724692362How exactly am I supposed to rush through the basement to just get aster in the early game? Lmao.
>>724692420Get Helen and clench ur butt.
>Ground Anchor broken on Tank TracksWhat does it do? It doesn't appear in the skill listThe Reckless Driving one does appear on the other treads>>724692275>Lyle because he's a fatfagHuh???
>>724692412Kids these days don't even play the classics that inspire all these modern games...God I'm getting old.
I drew pic related sometime before 2.0. I haven't gone through all of the new endings yet, so as of now Truth and Promise are my favorites. The art done for the guinea pig ones are great too.
Man, How strong is Aster that you need to solo half of the game to be able to get him into your party?
>>724691748If you've played a few RPGs, you'll be fine on the normal difficultyJust have the conscious thought to manage your consumables, but at the same time, don't be afraid to use stuff because I ended my first playthrough with a ton of spare ammo and stuff
>>724692594>Built for big python feedings
Frankie confirmed that he will look into making recruiting Aster easier. Possibly by making speaking only to jasper necessary.
>>724692617He is almost purely a buffer, debuffer and status remover. He is also not worth all the aggravation because you can’t even use him for the final boss.
>>724691748Are the Fear & Hunger games really as hard as people say they are? They have been on my radar for a bit so I'll probably buy them during this sale
>>724692594Modern day Michelangelo over here, holy shit.
>>724693603Its less about being hard and more that they're coinflippy bullshit that permanently cripples you in regular encounters unless you know exactly what you're doing.
>>724693848>deal with RNG unless you know what options do whatsounds a bit like World of Horror which I didn't mind
>>724693603Less hard, more extremely unfair. Fuck coinflips.
>>724693886Funger will fuck you even if you know what you're doing and force you to reload your last save instead of continue on. Repeatedly.
No matter how many times I save and reload before bed (and well before the 4AM change) I just cant get Morton to show up. I am even using the schedule mod so I can see what door knocks are coming. I really wish that all the companions could get obtained without rng shit like this.
>>724690480You should probably watch 28 days later again then
Fullscreen or nah?
>>724650063It depicts children suffering in fucked up ways. Kept having to replay the part where the kid turns into a tooth monster and quit
>>724694180Don't worry anon, he changed Benjamin he gets even worse now
>>724691504Top right is Betty the HandmineThe minesweeper guy in Hendersons nightmare gives her to you if you can clear enough of themYou can pet her, not sure if that uses the protrait
>>724692486The term he was looking for was Feeder
>>724667283Denial refers to Sam's state of mind, not denying to know the Visitor
>>724694849Yeah I know what that isWhere does that idea even come from?
>>724694889It's denial in the sense of refusing something, retard. Last I checked, Truth and Screaming Sky are not states of mind.
Has anyone gotten the fight with Hellen that was shown in the trailer?
I am getting close to fully understanding the "unity" ending. These Youtube comments are so accurate I can feel it. Sybil must have written what she discovered about The Visitor, after breaking her Telescope, before its influence reached Earth.
I just want papa asap Gonna release party members for him
i didn't get an achievement for this but there is one, are some of them bugged?
>>724695125You lose Helen as a companion so I dont think many people even tried.
>>724695234Sybil could've just made it up but the idea was simply so dangerous and powerful it was infectious or she could've hit the nail on the head and it really did awaken that dormant instinct.Either way the initial theory of "it only knows itself by viewing itself so it thinks anything that views it must also be itself and thus subject to its reality bending infinity" is fairly sound imo.
>>724695125I think she leaves and stalks you on the first floor if you miss watering her plant for a day in her quest.
>>724695504wait my plant is dying, am i gonna lose my melee beast companion?
Which offerings do I need for the mask ending other than the tongue and rose?
>>724695234None of the endings are hard to understand. Remember Ghostbusters where gozer will destroy them based on whatever pops into their heads? That’s basically unity, its the worst case scenario that popped in there. The visitor being there combined with Sam reading it made it true. They repeatedly say the idea is toxic and highlight it. Basically think thought crimes. Whether it is true doesn’t matter, you are bad for thinking it.
so the tongue is definitely the mask guy saying "this is why i can't talk to you" right? like he mutated his tongue off somehow?
>>724695793Thats your "Pride-n-Joy", she is gonna go bonkers on you if you don't help her raise you and her baby
>>724695897Tongue and rose arent offerings.Give the rose to the gay caterpillar in the garage and come back in a day and he will give you a painting. The tape is found by playing the elevator game until you can travel to the fourth floor.The last will and testament is found by playing the glitched game in the bizarro version of Sam’s apartment. The photo is hidden in Henderson’s apartment.
>>724696037Interesting, although Charan wasn't in the pit the day after I gave him the rose in one of my saves, is it time-based?
What exactly is the trigger for the blackout? Is it “one day after the elevator starts working again” or “one day after you reach the basement?”

>>724696212I *think* it always occurs when five days remain and will only begin when you're on the third floorIt doesn't seem to trigger if you're running around elsewhere, probably to prevent you from being softlocked
>>724696293I got it on day 4 this run. The day after I repaired the elevator. Or maybe two days after that. Cant honestly remember.
>>724696263>retarded leftist sjw CanadianWhy say the same thing four times?And I don’t care because the game is good and he managed to make it without screaming about bad orange men from countries not his.
>>724696263That's a lot of buzzwords
what day does the earthquake hit? I'm trying to bumrush the basement so I can jump in that big hole down there
So how long is this game if you get every ending?
>>724696905It'd have to be like 20 - 30 hours
Hellen my belloved
I don't think the visitor actually dies in the anime endingThe visitor's body never seems to take any damage, the fight just ends abruptly and the retarded nonsensical ending plays afterwardsIt seems like the earth is just accidentally turned into anime land and the visitor fucks off somewhere after the fact
>>724697379Sam is a harem man, all sorts of bitches at his beck and call and he don't even know how to work itHow many chicks do you think rub one out on a Sam tendril in denial?
>>724697383if you take Unity into account then what ultimately happens is the Visitor essentially goes full schizo and gaslights itself because of Sam's extreme delusion
>>724698123Not buying it if we don't see the visitor's massive carcass floating near the earth and encompassing the entire solar system
>>724698323>entire solar systemit'd be a lot more than thatRegardless, power of god and anime is a joke ending that shouldn't be looked into too hard. Sam gamered himself for so long that the division between real and game dissolved, simple as.
>>724698795it cheapens the rest of the game if we take it at face value, it seems to claim belief = power = reality, so the only reason the visitor causes any damage at all is because everyone on earth is a weak minded bitch apparently
I'm assuming Audrey is supposed to just tank damage? Is there any items that let her taunt/aggro enemies?
>>724698961The Unity ending makes no sense with the original endings. The notes clearly state that “the visitor is coming here because it thinks the earth is part of it and its going to reabsorb it.” The whole reason the astronomers are doing the ritual is to lie to the visitor and convince it that it’s mistaken. This is already a retarded concept but if this is supposed to be true, then the No Going Back ending is impossible. The Visitor wouldn’t leave at the end of 15 days, he would absorb the earth as planned.
>>724699003The cop car drops a body slot item that apparently draws in enemy attacks. I prefer to use her for refreshments and big damage elemental shots with the tank gun, though
>>724663612This art is fucking amazing. One of the best and most accurate I've seen lmao.
>>724699003Audrey's got middling damage, but she has a good variety of elements available to her once you get to the car park. Blunt, gun, fire, acid, ice and I think a few others depending on what you equip. She also has baseline high survivability with her fat HP pool and high defence, so she's handy to have in an emergency; she'll almost always be the last one alive and ready to heal/revive people. Worst comes to worst you can just have her pelt around whatever throwables you have.Also, when she hits like level 12, she gets a fucking standout blunt move that's like a super tackle. That shit would hit for like 200+ when I used it with no preparation. Problem is it costs 20 mana and since Audrey only gets half healing from consumables (including mana), it's expensive as fuck to spam
>>724699186>>724699236Nice, I'm just having her shoot cans at people right now so I'll wait to unlock more gear for her. I just like the idea of having a big vending machine as a companion
>>724699286something else that's notable is that you can buy the medic kit from Mutt and give it to her so she has something to do if you get in a tough spot since she's so survivable.
>>724698961>is because everyone on earth is a weak minded bitch apparentlyIs this false though? We see enough people who maintain their sanity despite being mutated that its really not hard to suppose most of modern man is kind of stupid and weak willed. Besides, they're getting flashbanged by infinity beaming straight into their brains, i don't blame many people for not being able to handle it.>>724699124>then the No Going Back ending is impossibleNot necessarily. Putting aside the possibility that it does just settle onto >This thing is different then me, not following orders, moving onIts also not properly sentient and takes a long time to communicate with itself because of sheer scale. Pretty sure the exalted four even says that he's going to come back in another few hundred years if you don't talk to him and tell him to leave, it could simply be taking the time to digest the information before finishing the job later.Personally i lean more towards the idea that Sybil is partially right and that's its initial idea but after its many attempts at treating us like another body part just moves on.
I don't like Unity ending because it cheapens the fuck out of Sam's meeting with the VisitorIf the Unity shit is actual factual reality and not egregore shit like people have supposed, then it means the Visitor isn't learning that there's life in the universe besides itself when it meets Sam, and it isn't learning consciousness, and it isn't finding an impossible little friendship against all odds... it's just having a schizophrenic episode that it won't even remember.And that's sad, so I don't like it.
>>724699403I feel like all the new additions make the game worse in retrospect>unity ending diminishes the significance of meeting up with the visitor>"good" ending is just a worse version of perfect ritual>anime ending lacks any kind of impact and destroys the sense of scale the original endings had, where the visitor isn't some incompreshensible being outside of our grasp anymore and just turns into a generic JRPG final bossWish I could unlearn all the new content. Maybe I have something in common with sybil now
>>724699648>>anime ending lacks any kind of impact and destroys the sense of scale the original endings had, where the visitor isn't some incomprehensible being outside of our grasp anymore and just turns into a generic JRPG final bossThat one's clearly a joke ending though, you have to grind through god knows how many text boxes of Massacre Princess sessions and use a skill that's literally unusable 99.9% of the time.I can give unity a pass because its just a genuinely cool horror moment, a cognito hazard like the Yellow Sign but if its completely the hard truth it does make some weirdness in perfect ritual. I think the simple fact that the Visitor goes>We are differentmeans they are now in ritual endings. He says it thus reality changes to make it so. No more risk like in other endings of it coming back and ruining shit again, just now and forever there is Visitor and there is Man (who is suspiciously reality warping now like Visitor). The Unity risk is just turned off even if someone did end up finding Sybil's notes and she just ends up another crazy who disappeared after thinking she was more Visitor than Man.Promise is definitely mediocre though, the emotional payoff isn't nearly as poignant and there's way more seeds of discontent sown beneath its surface than Denial. Its weaker in general and maybe resolves shit with the individual characters but not with the overall plot of why the great big asshole in the sky appeared.
>>724699978Even if it's a joke ending I still think it sucks and makes the game worse just by existing, maybe if it was blatantly nonsense like the SH2 dog ending or something I could accept it, but it seems to just barely fit into the story
>>724700109There's already the Sybil ending for maximum shitpost, i think he just wanted a 70% shitpost ending where he could now say that every enemy is technically combatable and beatable which is why you also just run through every party member like a revolving door.
>>724699183>dan isnt just a weirdo with no concept of personal spaceseeing him depressed was surreal, then seeing him snap back to streamer mode was sad
>>724650063>see rubble in the "false kitchen">remember satchel charges>go get some and blow it up>ENTERholy kino I'm kinda digging the fact that the online spheres haven't picked up and spoiled every little detail yet
>>724700257>doing his personal quest ruins his endingI’m not gonna lie, I actually laughed when I read that he got banned off twitch for breaking the TOS for trying to live stream the visitor.
>>724700365You should have been playing through it a couple days ago. The game was glitched (you could go fight Sybil long before you learned why you would want to) and everyone was trying to piece together the new content. It was actually a lot of fun coordinating and learning with anons here.
>>724693603Consider this:Seeing a coinflip MOSTLY means you already fucked up.F&H is a knowledge check game like 95% through.
>>724700718>try to open chest>coinflip>try to save>coinflip (hurr but you can just kill the elite rape-you-in-the-ass guard and the coinflip will go away)>walk through a corridor>coinflip, if you fail you plummet down to the bottom floor and break your legs permanentlyIt is purely trial and error
>>724700956>sybil turns out to be a dirty, smelly femcel
>>724650063Based until that quebecois faggot decided to make Sybil just AGP Sam
>>724650063what I learned from this game:>Montreal is populated entirely by blue, orange, and brown muppets>canadians are bad and so are video games, so bad they can accidentally destroy reality without even trying>jasper is a cuck
>>724663797I think they should have combined the Promise and Perfect Denial endings into one ending. Or at least have the "where are they now" epilogue also happen at the end of perfect denial.
I think there's some bullshit behind the unity ending. There's no way no one of 8 billions human did not considered the possibility of then being a part of the Visitor. It's such a weak cognitohazard to reach it's bound to happen at some point.I think we are getting some delusional takes from Sybil.
this lil nigga is starting to grow on me
>>724701002>no chest is mandatory for progression>there are multiple free saves sprinkled throughout the dungeon>this literally never happensIt is purely a skill issue.
>>724701728the only way you would be able to complete the game with minimal saving and no chest is if you already knew what's ahead anyway
>>724701673It's just typical protagonist oriented storytelling, where only the protagonist is the chosen one who can succeed
>>724701803Wrong and now you've confirmed that you didn't play the game at all. Stop repeating every shitpost you read on /v/ as if it was gospel, mentally ill zoomer.
>>724701002>>724701728Walkthrough game
>>724701880concession accepted
So once you return her to her mother, does Sophie ever come back to mill around the apartment and have dialogue interactions with the other npcs?
>>724701960concession accepted indeed, seething zoomie.
>>724701002>try to open chestThis is loot, you can get lucky and have good stuff or get nothing. Boohoo. All the best stuff is fixed.>try to saveYou going >inb4 doesn't change jackshit. You get free saves, some are just legit always secure saves, there's items you can find or reliably steal that can save.>walk through corridor [...] plummetLook at the fucking floor you nigger. All spots are marked. You don't permabreak your legs either. And this is also sometimes extra loot or shortcuts.RNG is a (you) problem. If RNG causes you to fail, you've already fucked up long.
>>724702161No. Kill her mom, the girl is yours now.
>>724702226but you've been seething this entire time, is everyone of your posts just "no u"
>>724702365>If RNG causes you to fail, you've already fucked up long.Yeah because you didn't pick the one option the dev wanted you to pick. So you just reload and go left instead of right the next time. That's what trial and error is.
>>724701703Fuck this guy he broke my shitNever letting Xaria and Monty in again
>>724702428I wish you were able to appreciate the irony of this post.
She's so cool...
>>724702690>more seethe, still no arguments
>>724689080>and then talk to him again with only three party members or lessHe joined me even though I had four total.
>>724702469>waah it's bad if I can fuck up and learn how to do better next timeJust accept the game isn't made for you and move on instead of crying like a little baby that the game doesn't pamper you enough.
>>724702772Case in point.
>>724702365Anon, you are talking to someone who didn't even play the game he's crying about in the first place. ChatGPT will give you a more compelling discussion, atleast with it, you know that scraping the internet for retarded opinions to regurgitate at you is something it was specifically built for.
>>724700475>>724700365thats not all, the other day an anon found out you could attack :) and was like "wouldnt it be cool if you could use the anime video game fighting stuff to affect the fight."turns out, he was right, somebody tried it, and there is a whole new ending based on that alone.
>>724665206Every single ending is canon, the mask ending is pretty much the confirmation.
>>724702803>go right>"you get raped by bears unless the coinflip lands on tails">heads>go left next timeIt's just low IQ gameplay
>>724702910>another made up scenario that doesn't happen in the game
>>724702864>try to get into an argument to defend your game>get BTFO>start looking for support once it's clear you can't defend your positionAre all F&H trannies like this?
>>724702949The guard has an attack that kills you after a coinflip unless you block on the turn he uses it. The only way you'd know you have to block is if you already know the attack is coming.
>>724702957>lie on the internet>too stupid to actually lie convincingly so you immediately get called out on it>shit and piss yourself as everyone recognizes you are full of shitYou lost, better luck next thread.
so is roaches just like, easy mode for journos? using them trivializes the entire game
>>724702724swagtacular
>>724693603the funger games are actually puzzle games disguised as rpgs. the combat is mostly deterministic and like the other anon said, if you see a coinflip you already failed the puzzle but are given 50/50 chance to get away with it.
>>724703039The irony of this post being of course that I didn't lie at any point but to a F&H tranny, the truth is so difficult to hear that they're in denial about the nature of their game
okay why does the freaky salamander thing that shows up when the power goes out get a boss achievement? did i miss something related to it?
>>724703128Trial and error != puzzleThe game doesn't require you to think or use logic at any point
>>724703138>NO STOP POINTING OUT I DON'T ACTUALLY PLAY VIDEOGAMES AIIEEEDon't worry, retardbro, the thread is already past bump limit. In half an hour you'll get to pick up what little remains of your damaged ego and pretend this embarrassing display did not happen
>>724703290>still pure ad hominem with 0 argumentsThe average F&H tranny
>>724689826tame hellcars
>>724693603it's a knowledge check, for example one type of enemy that plagues the early game can 1 shot you consistently, UNLESS you do a really specific action in which case he does 0 damage. it's fucking bullshit and makes it so the enemy is either impossibly hard or stupidly easy depending on whether or not you read a guide. i recommend asking here on what you need to know before starting the games otherwise you'll repeat the start of the game several times with little to no feedback
I don't really get why people like Helen so much. She's slow as hell and doesn't hit much harder than Leigh, plus her Stalk gets eaten by Ernest's rat every single time.
oy, can I get my key back from the telly :(
The F&H tranny is seething so hard that he's going to do the thing where he replies right as the thread is on page 10 to try to have the last word
Its actually worth taking Aster with you on main quests because he usuallyHas commentary for it. He responded to everything in the Stargazer’s apartment.
>>724703472Why are they brown?>Muh art sty- that just how the game looks. They're not niggers
>>724703772how do you recruit him? i haven't been able to figure it out yet
>>724703565>strong early>has free machete>massacre panic button>waifuLet me guess, you need more>>724703772I'll have to remember that, maybe I'll wait until he's patched to be gettable after talking to Jasper before I do another run
>>724701728>skillskill/logic/knowledge implies the game gives you the requirements to solve it ans win or that a certain level of knowledge or skill is required to win, funger doesn't do either, the game's difficulty and progression is entirely dependent on you knowing hyper specific things which results in the game being either mind numbingly easy or impossibly hard.if you don't know, then you're fucked because the game puts you against impossible odds, as you said you already lost if you see the coin.if you do know, then congratulations the game is piss easy and any veneer of difficulty or challenge is gone, you simply do the required action and win in a matter of fact manner.all in all the game is designed horribly, basing your entire game's design on trial and error knowledge checks is unfun at best, boring and obsolete at worst
>>724703870Talk to all four of the astronomers, then go back and talk to him and just ask for help in one of his dialogue treesHe'll offer to join your party, no questions asked
>>724703872i dunno, i got her on like day 4 and already had a more competent party, and there's a free machete in vincent's apartment anywayalso she can't equip any helmet slot items which is annoying when i need to figure out if putting on the furry's dragon suit kills you or not
>>724703851>Why are they brown?because they are>that just how the game looks.Yeah they're dark /pol/cuck, no amount of coping will change that, they're not the blue eyed blonde haired aryans you wish you could see in the mirror
>>724703894Finding, recognizing, retaining and putting to use the information you find in the game is a skill, no matter how hard you try to cope about it.
>>724704013It's the most basic form of memorization. It isn't difficult, it's just a time waster.
>>724698076He has the kind of inhuman rizz only accessible to ugly bastards.
>>724704013>Finding, recognizing, retaining and putting to use the information you find in the game is a skillIt merely requires a large amount of time spent doing inane tasks, anyone can do it if they waste enough time but it isn't a skill and it's not fun.
>>724704095Being reductive is not an argument. This exact same logic can be used to downplay every single skill aspect of any video game and likening any and all difficulty to a waste of time is a favorite excuse of someone who got filtered by said difficulty.
Enough talkIt's time for the real questions
>>724704216She lays on Sam every night.
>>724704210That's not being reductive. The entirety of Fear&Hunger is built on memorization.
>>724704312Or at least, that's what she wishes
>>724650063>Leddit outsideCringe.
why is duct tape not showing my damaged weapons?
>>724704371Downplaying a skill aspect of a game to being far more simple than it actually is is being reductive. >>724704013
incomprehensible ending was peak midwit>oh shit is that iterations of numbers? im going crayyyyyyyyyyzyyyyyy>lets ignroe the dev imagined the thing that apparently cant be imagined>or we already know of bigger things in actual reality and fully comprehend them>no, just thinking about x+y x 50, shit, my mind broke
>>724704556reddit chungus, please understand
>>724704206The main issue is that the game forces you through a brutally hard dungeon that offers no mercy. Instead of making you feel powerful or capable, it pushes back at every step, turning progress into a puzzle of endurance and understanding. This kind of design is niche, and many players will find it frustrating, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. It’s a matter of preference.I enjoyed exploring, finding shortcuts, learning spells, and teaming up with secret companions to overcome enemies. There's a high repleyability behind taking the Thicket path, or skipping the whole travel with portals. The real satisfaction comes from figuring out how the world works and using that knowledge to survive. And whether it’s fun or not is entirely subjective. As I said, it’s designed to make you feel like an ordinary person trapped in Berserk, fucking fragile, desperate, and outmatched. You’ll either connect with that or reject it completely as there’s no middle ground.
>>724704547There is a problem solving aspect to the game but a lot of it is simply "try something, if it doesn't work just reload and try the other thing". Another example is the floating head guy that summons a giant minotaur that kills you if he gets to finish summoning. You might try talking to him, see that it leads nowhere, die, then try something else. Most difficult encounters work like this.
>>724704496Unequip them first
>>724704689Almost all of it is tied up in basic common sense. The example you brought up gives you multiple turns to run away while giving you multiple hints that you are supposed to between the head taking no damage, the character you play as feeling the urge to run, the advancing enemy that's overtaking the entire screen turn by turn, wizard head refusing to communicate with you. Dying to that encounter isn't a "oh, I died, how was I supposed to know I would die here", it's a "oh, I died, fucking d'uh". An overwhelming majority of instant death encounters and events in that game is like this.
>>724704919Of course but then if you run away you miss out on recruiting him so you still get punished in a different way. You might also be tempted to talk to him more just to find out if anything might happen.
>>724704657Just use bite kid and walk over the game like everyone else>lets just give the guy with busted damage infinite durabiliity and scaling hp if you just use him all the time
>>724704216You are mentally ill.
>>724705019He's a secret companion, it's not supposed to be immediately available or be blatantly obvious or it wouldn't be a secret.In the second scenario, you are deliberately trading time inbetween now and the last save you've made for more information or to see how the game would punish you if you did fall for it, it's almost always an informed decision in that scenario.
what the hell are the rubber boots for if they don't stop you from taking damage in the electric section?
