playing this is a miserable experience i hate it
please someone help me git gud...
>>731108064Don't play it, read a summary on Youtube since it will take 20 minutes instead of 40 hourse, then play Ruina and use the no_grind mod since we've already established that you value your time.
>>731108064IIRC there's two types of in-game restarts you can do: Resetting back to day 1 and resetting to the last checkpoint. The upgrades and knowledge you get are permanent as long as you don't wipe your playthrough data altogether and I THINK you retain your EGO gear but I don't remember. It's generally a good idea to do a playthrough or two of trying to find all the info about as many unknown abnormalities as possible before resetting to an earlier point and then progressing with easier abnormalities that you know ahead of time are easy to handle. Try completing the missions ASAP.
>>731108064The game is an extreme grind, you have to complete as many missions and boss realizations as possible whenever you can. Pretty sure you will need at least one reset to day 1 to complete all boss realizations which is required for the best ending.Some of the missions give you tools that make it much easier to handle abornmalities, e.g. you want execution bullets before you take Queen of Hatred. Plague Doctor/WhiteNight is a pain and puts a limit on how long each day can be but also gives you the best gear in the game. Do a memory restore or reset to day 1 if you end up with ride to hell, its never worth it.
>>731109140>>731108064Or just watch it on youtube and skip to library of ruina. Lobotomy corp is only for sadomasochists who love grindy korean games.
>>731110061>grindy korean gamesname 10 games
>>731110638What for?
>>731108064It's not that bad if you follow notes and realize you are meant to restart. Grind, do the quests, and get the EGO gears. The main kick in the dick is the last few days
the game is a slog but if you don't beat it you are a pussy. And if I catch you quiting and becoming a secondary by watching the cut scenes on youtube I will castrate you personally.
>>731108064>Miserable experience>Day 10Nigger you haven't even gotten anything bad, how is it miserable?
>>731108064Lobotomy Corp is amazing, so enjoy yourself at your own pace. It's the best and most unique game from PM by a landslide>>731108950What very specifically is your problem?You're expected to die to new abnormalities a few times and restart the day occasionally. Try not to spoil yourself since learning firsthand is a major part of the experience. View facility wipes as learning experiences instead of failuresDo the Sephirah quests whenever you can. Malkuth's seems stuck for a while, but that's just because Dusks don't start until like Day 22 iirc. Once you fully complete them, you start getting big facility improvements, especially Hod's. Spending a little extra time "grinding" employees on progressively stronger abnormalities can help boost their stats for free. Also be VERY mindful of the gap in an agents armor level and the level of abnormality they're currently working on, since the damage gap becomes multiplicative. You'll also need to Day1 reset at least once, but play out as far as you possibly can while FULLY researching all the abnormalities you can. You'll keep your knowledge between resets and gear
>>731108064Playing it is a miserable experience, I love it
>>731111179Does it get better in the later days? I got really bored doing the first few days, stopped a little after unlocking the second part of the base.The dogshit translation doesn't help either.
>>731108064That's the point
>>731111314Kinda, it's more it gets better the more powers and perks you unlock through completing the plot quests which will carry over when you end up resetting to the first day. Get far enough to unlock those departments and their accompanying missions and get em done.
>>731111314It gets way more interesting once you complete all the Malkuth missions
>>731111314It gets more exciting as you start stacking increasingly scarier abnormalities with more complex rules. WAW and ALPEHs especially are where things start kicking on. Try not to burn yourself out grinding needlessly for 2% EGO gift chances or anything similar. The boss fights at the end of the Sephirah quests are also some of the most memorable encounters in the game>dogshit translationYou may want to double check the version you got if you played it recently. The initial release of LobCo had them get rugpulled by some translators that put out a nonsense translation, but PM fixed it with a full redo translation years later.
>>731108064face the fear fucko. Up your management. What are you struggling with anyway?
>>731111314>The dogshit translation doesn't help either.brother check your version becuase your shit might be years outta date
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cWar-WMYqw>this music starts playing
this game stinks... maybe im just not the target audience for this genre (i already knew i wasnt) but i at least wanted to try it for the story
>>731112812>glass breakshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDDMv6mPk2o
>>731113680AIIEEEE
>>731108064Stay away from Ruina and Limbus if you respect this game after beating it
>>731113873qrd?
>>731113908>autist likes lobco>ruina has a gameplay change from management to card battler>autist now hates ruina>now forces meme that ruina is le bad
I'm only playing limbus lol
i will to have sex with malkuth and hod and tiphereth and bongbong
>>731113990>ignoring the story changes to make the franchise shonen fixershit
>>731113680
>>731110638all of themunironically
>>731114628Lobotomy Corp's example of fixers are The Red Mist and the four white ordeal giganigsThat aspect was always shonenshit
>>731114628>ignoring the story changes to make the franchise shonen fixershitas we all know lobco didn't have any of that especially not when geb was the red mist and killed all those abnos + arbiters + binah, nor was it shounenshit when director said EX nugs low dif claws and it was definitely not shounen shit during any of the white ordeals.
>>731114734>>731114798This is cope as they weren’t a main focus of the series before Ruina, and the fixers we saw in Lob Corp’s ordeal were abstract representations. KJH even said he designed Ruina with shonen tropes in mind. That will be 10 mang rings with a side of shin, faggots
>>731114997>noooooooooo the people of this setting cant be strong only my EX nugs and abnos are allowed to be retardedly strong individuals muh shounenslop!Another victim of lobco being very vague on what the city is like, so you headcannon the universe and then acted like further entries were some narrative betrayal.
>>731114997Seems we're witnessing the rebirth of type moon with the PM universe
>>731115082Or it’s just poorly written hype moments and aura
>>731114997>The setting that includes crazy powerful mercenaries that will take any job has you interact and fight said mercenaries when they make a game that's not about literally one building in the setting damn son that's crazy
>>731115082They're an aesthetic betrayal.The ambience, themes and motifs as well as general aesthetics from Lob Corp are abandoned and replaced with an entirely different feel, which then turns into a farce in Limbus.
>>731115714i would have sex with her
I am abandoning thread, I've no desire to congregate with actual retards
>>731115714If the "betrayal" is bigger than what you perceive to be the original untainted work, then its not a betrayal, its you getting a false idea of the thing you are consuming. This is especially retarded when so many things that are "betrayals" of the narrative are set up by lobco well in advance. You personally liked lobco for any number of reasons and dislike the sequels for equally arbitrary reasons but have to frame it as a betrayal so you can be like all the cool /v/ posters and whine that a thing you liked was ruined.
>>731115939Take your meds, anon. You're fighting against your own strawmen again.
>>731116182I accept your concession
>>731115082You don’t have to have a single headcanon to be aware of the tone and focus shift of the series from Lobotomy Corp to Ruina
>>731116837the tone and focus shifted because it would have been impossible to keep it past the first entry regardless of how the sequel turned out.
I loev Laetitia
>>731117171>laeTITIa, hmhm, heh!
>>731116837>tone and focus shiftdescribe it without using buzzwords
I'm thinking of trying out some mods that make it easier (nothing to outright break the game). It's way too much for me sadly, I just can't have fun with it though I was so intrigued by where the story was going.
>>731118724Just watch the cutscenes online if you don’t like the gameplay. There isn’t much gameplay to modify in the first place outside of abnos and possibly adding control groups for nugget micro
>>731118798>Just watch the cutscenes online if you don’t like the gameplay.I like the gameplay. The game itself is just too difficult if that makes sense.Also it would feel too cheap to just watch everything
i like Ruina. i feel smart when i learn how things actually work. still too dumb though and will just throw myself against the brick wall until i decide to try something new.
>>731108064The pink slime abno made me drop it, a legit pain in the ass
>>731119370just turn off backer abnos than
>>731118991Suffering through the gameplay is a key part of the game's intended experience; its themes. It's required for the full meta-narratively congruent experience. Definitely don't just watch it on Youtube.It's like watching a review of a movie and equating it to watching the movie itself.
>>731108064>please someone help me git gud...Here's the secret in one simple sentenceIf you get a monster that reacts to clerk deaths, then once you've learned everything you can about it and extracted its gear, go back to the last memory repository checkpointWa la, you can beat the game easily now.
That's the point of Lobco. it was a suffering simulator. It's why Angela goes insane.
>>731115537>hype moments and auraWhat is this meme of saying these two things specificallyI don't get it, where'd this shit come from
>>731115939Fuck OFF aquajeet
>>731108064>playing this is a miserable experience i hate itYou're suffering like Ayin did.
Skip snoozebotomy corporation and 4/10nia and play Limbus instead.
>>731119779>got clerk lover on repo daywhat now fucker
>>731120202
This game filtered me hard once I got to the below section of the base but now I kinda want to try again…
>>731120418>I kinda want to try again…ludo
>>731120202Restarting the cycle entirely is part of the intended gameplay.
Limbus is a feminist game made by misandrists. All of the female characters are always fully dressed from head to toe with no skin shoeing, usually in masculine clothing like pants. They never have bikinis or revealing clothing.
>>731121149
>>731121149>covered head to toeYesod would be proud
I want to have sex with Netzach, would that make me gay?
>>731121220>Director is an epi obsessed goonerYep, Limbus proves itself the better game.
I just want to say fuck purple midnight. literally lost less people to the birds than that
>don't care didn't ask PLUS you are SEA monkey
>>731121285Yes I dont know why it wouldn't
>>731108064>extreme fucking grind>ending is sequel baitWhy did this get praised at all?
>>731121368purple really was a weird difficulty spike
>>731121789>extreme fucking grindIt's ludo.>ending is sequel baitSo is life.
>>731121890>It's ludo.No it's not.>So is life.No it's not.
>>731121996Someone's never escaping Samsara.
>>731108064It's canon, the manager X had to go through all of this.>>731110638Any Korean MMO is a grindfest, I know by experience, every early 2000s game was like this.>>731121368Managed to beat Hokma Suppression with Purple Midnight, it was my biggest achievement in that game aside from day 49.
>>731108064Are there any more cool reveals like this or should I stop bothering playing this
>>731122575plenty actually, I managed to go through the slog and finish the game merely to see how the story would end
>>731122061Crazy how MFE is the only well designed abnormality in Limbus.
>>731108064It's a grind check, the more you play through the game the easier it gets and most of the stuff becomes automated.Endgame turns it into anime RTS where you sometimes send people to work on Abnos.
>>731119963It was used to describe low quality shounenshit that has no meaning beyond "This powerful guy says something cool and beats up that other guy".Recently it got so ironypoisoned any cool character moment is being labeled hype moments and aura, as if your story should have nothing happening in it ever.
>>731122686As opposed to a literal granny, reddit mascot, a chicken sheep and a pink cartoon soldier and whatever porcubbus is.
>>731108064This is maybe the only game where it only gets good once you beat it then it becomes absolute KINO
>>731113680give it back
>>731113680https://youtu.be/9Ptcd5O1i7E
I stopped playing around the time I reached the final floor and realized I had to restart because I had a horrible combo of run killers that I chose 30 days prior.
Angela did nothing wrong.
>>731123769Correct. It was part of the plan.
>>731123760You're supposed to restart at least once anyway.You get to keep unlocks and shit.
