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.
>>731108064I was thinking earlier about how LC feels like pain distilled into vidya form.
>>731123895Yeah that's what I meant. The moment the realization set in that restarting was part of the intended way to play and that I had just spent a couple weeks essentially in the tutorial, I quit.
<3
>>731108064thats the point
>>731113680Just another day at the office.
>>731119963When someone says these or clapbait, you know for sure it's the guy who's been trying to ruin PM threads for the past few years and so there's no need to further reply to his bait.
>>731108064All the PM games are. Except the last one, because it's not a real game, it's gachaslop.Either way, all the games are heavy on vibes but are honestly not really worth suffering through.Ruina in particular can be absolutely miserable towards the later stages, Lobcorp is mainly just not getting softlocked in the last week or so.
>Nooooo anybody who calls out Limbus' horrible story is the hypemomentandauraschizoNu4channers really do make up boogiemen for anybody who disagrees with them.
>>731124403Jessie what the fuck are you talking about?
If you think Lobotomy Corporation is miserable that early on then just you fucking wait. It gets worse and then it gets worse and then when you think it can't get any worse it gets worse and holy shit this day is impossible and the story is so fucking depressing and then it gets worse.Ending is worth it though.>They say the mourner with a huge luggage on his back had come to be a savior to all. Eventually, he himself was trapped in this place, and now he wanders the company with only the memory of an empty faith. He's carrying a coffin. A large coffin to pay tribute to the employees who have nowhere else to go. However, it is still too small to comfort those innocent sacrifices.>Inside it is a kaleidoscope of butterflies waiting for the moment to fall asleep. Until then, they flutter their wings uselessly. The wings that may have been many jumbled into one, or one split into many. Butterflies are supposed to pollinate flowers, but not a single proper flower blooms in this place. There is no choice but to wait. After all, there must be an end to every world.
>>731124515*kills all the clerks*
>>731124569
>>731124510Just making fun of the limbus newfags who make up random characters because they can't accept that LC oldfags hate Limbus for turning the city into fixer shonen goyslop.
>>731124605No one other than you is talking about pancakes retard.
>>731124603You will never be a nugget.
What nightmares are made of.
CLERK. LIVES. MATTER.ALL LIVES CAN'T MATTER UNTIL CLERK LIVES MATTER#CLM
>>731124653>No mili trackBoring.
>>731124668Anon I love me some mili but they worked wonders with their shoestring budget.
I bet if you're a certain kind of Jewish this game is really stupid. Where all the characters are named after Kabbalah. Like how the characters in Frieren sound stupid to Germans.
>>731124653I love the basement hag.
>>731108064unpopular opinionBUTget the lobotomy mod manager throw on some light QoL mods like control groups and hold H to send everyone home and auto-repeat work so your keyboard actually has something to dofix the 15 different fucking memory leaksmaybe a bit more nugget customization and more situationally aware behaviormake health bars actually stack on top of each other properly instead of overlap making you have no clue what's going on if two people are in the same spotand then be based and get the mod that increases the amount of abno containers in each dept. so you can get the entire catalog in a single facilitythen, go from there, man, have the modding side of this game is actually pretty good and makes the game like, less cancerous to play (if you ignore the shittier mods)
>>731124653I still like her better with short hair
>>731124653By far the biggest ordeal of a no-death run. I still get angry when thinking about that, like an instinct.
>>731124708>>731124765binah more like benis :DDDD
>>731124801>requires constant, accurate micromanagement of your entire nugget mob>constant FPS drops and dogshit performanceNever again.
day 49
>>731124840>constant FPS drops and dogshit performanceThat's like 70% of the challenge of days 46-49, the game is barely holding on at this point. Days 1-10 and 46-49 in terms of performance are polar opposites. One is silky smooth 144+FPS while the other is 30-45FPS with 1s input delay
>>731124905https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBWEO7Fyh_8
>>731124756>Control groupsSure I guess, one of the most frustrating things about the game is trying to corral a bunch of employees at once>Auto-repeat workAwful idea, that's just asking to have a bunch of dudes die due to carelessness, with no idea what killed them
>>731108064I beat this game and I do not recommend playing it. just watch a YouTube summary of the story or something. I'm glad I beat it but I also have autism of the type that would make someone enjoy this game and even I do not actually think it's a game that is intended to be fun.
>>731108064Give up now because Library of Ruina is 10x harder.
>>731125003>people starting lor today will never experience the pre-nerf fightsdayum shame
>>731125003Nigga what?
>>731108064>2D base management gameyou ignored the signs and now you are complaining about it?
>>731125003I stopped playing back in the day around Wedge Office releaseGot too turned off by having to level up shit and losing pages on lossWhen I went back to it after full release I used the nogrind mod and that was definitely the right call
>>731125129I sleepwalked through the whole of Lobotomy Corp.Game was piss easy, aside from the controls being dogshit.I quit Ruina several times towards the end because of how retarded the last fights get and the stupid fucking realizations taking a fucking hour per attempt.
>>731125221fag
>>731124653I only beat her the second time because my game glitched and she got stuck in a fight with nobody there
>>731125150
>>731125003I only beat queen of hatred when i learned how bleed works
>>731124653The first time i got through it on d49, it was because i've decided to ignore the gimmicks entirely and just bum rushed her. Worked like a charm honestly (after like 6 tries that is, because i kept forgetting about the spikes from the ground move).
>>731125863How many people died?
Whelp its that time again.
>>731125967I think it was around 30. Not like it mattered to me, i kinda started the playthrough with the mindset that i just won't care about casualties unless it's an actual disaster, it was fun.
Yeah, I wanted to like it, and it was fun while I could take it. It just got a bit tedious after unlocking the first 4 wings because you started having so many things to pay attention to. Every day took so long. And fuck you get restarted if you forgot who last hugged Teddy or some shit like that.I was holding out until I unlocked the second level, thinking I'd be only playing them and the first floor would be on autopilot or something. Lmao no enjoy micromanaging 12x5 agents eventually.How do you guys do it?
>>731126045you did not beat it
