Look Outside V2.3 was released, and it's on sale. Let's get a L.O. Thread going.Patch Notes:https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3373660/view/511862820865835193?l=english
alAlright I looked, what about it?
>update>new abilities, rewards, items and dialoguei fucking hate every game being early access, even moreso when they aren't labeled as such
buy an ad
>>736991194I’m still thinking about the kisses
I had fun with your game but it was just kind of a one and done thing for me. I have no reason to replay it. It was fun though. However, please buy an ad.
sex with lyle
>>736991943sex with phillippe while Lyle watches
new jumpscare variant of the "nobody's there" door encounter
>>736991634Smooch mode was great. I'm glad Frankie kept it in the game.
>>736991798thisunless i can marry xaria and have babies with her though...the game kinda cucked coded also i mean after all that you dont get to see xaria turning into a housewife material BUT someone out there get to see all that
>>736991194>finally fixed Leigh's quest bugHell yeah!>but also nerf the fuck out of Leigh by attaching a huge cost to her recruitment for no reasonT-thanks...
>no new rat child skills>only redeeming quality has been patchedInto the wall it goes.>>736992228The buff she gets if she throws away the ring is properly implemented at least.
>>736991329>hating free thingswhy?
Man i wanna play this game so bad, the story looks good, idgaf about turn based despite i despise this genre. But my nagging point is that i hate when i commit to one kind of choice, i cant undo that by save scumming. I just wanna play a perfect outcome gameplay
>>736992572Just keep rolling saves
>>736992293The bug fix is definitely nice. The damage boost was way more valuable than the ring imo. I just feel like he just overnerfed her. She's probably one of the most balanced characters in the game and recruiting her already had downsides like needing to buy the gun as soon as you beat her or lose it forever plus Grinning Beast randomly fucking you over made her pretty balanced in the early game too.She's probably still good, but man did it make recruiting annoying.
>>736992770no mods to be able to save right at any point instead safe house?
>>736992872You can save anywhere in Easy Mode
There's a boss rush now.
Is it even possible to get 100000 points? There's a rank for that now.
>>736991194i'm playing it for the first time. should i just be reading a wiki constantly or am i meant to be getting two-shotted and reloading back to the apartment every other encounter
>>736992921thats neat, does that difficulty affects anything else?
>>736993043Play blind. The game isn't particularly hard as long as you don't throw yourself into the jaws of giant monsters constantly.
>no new achievements CRINGEShan't be playing
>>736993157there's some extra enemies in the hardest mode but I think that's it.
Any new playable characters?
>>736993278There's going to be more soon, as well as art for pre-existing achievements (I think pic related is a draft for Wrong Number).
Never pay more than $0 for RPG Maker sludge.There are better free RPG Maker games out there like Hat World: New Testament and Ruina: Fairy Tale of the Forgotten Ruins that honestly should make you question why Shill Outside has any price tag at all. It's an insult, and anyone with a brain should be laughing at it rather than paying for it.
>>736993257alright skipping it then. already burnt out on the loop of>walk into new room>see a new enemy>is this the room it wants me to be in?>enter combat>take 3/4th of my health as damage>nope>reload
>>736993357Because I like to support devs who make games I enjoy, also I'm not greedy and poor
>>736993282ok thanks!
>>736993357give more recs anon. I got an rpgmaker backlog im working on.
736993357hat world is complete shit. kill yourself
>>736993357>makes millions of dollars
>didn't fix Antoine being a retarded difficult spike yet especially in cursed modeWhy does Frankie subscribe to the only up school of game difficulty? If it's a single player game. Why does every update need to just make things harder?
>>736993621Just passed 400K sales this morning, Frankie's going to be a millionaire
did my wife get any new content
>>736993726
>>736993825
>>736993851
>>736991329>free stuff is badKys
watching the stream, nestor's game over sprites are being polished, and frankie and his devteam made fun of furfag vtubers that played the game expecting it to be like undertale
>>736991329I'm with you, anon. Just finish the damn thing and then release it. At least make specific DLC instead of just constantly changing/adding shit.
>>736993726>side project made while working on a bigger project made him loads and loads of money and fameyou know this happens more often that people think it does
I already don't look outside, why would I play a game about it
>>736991194>no intro skip yetwhy? In a time senstive game it would be so nice to save day 1 without doing the floor 3 tutorial shenanigans.
>>736991329>free additions is badKys
>>736994091magic isn't real, dummy (unless space god says it is)
>>736992440>>736993907>>736994179Good goys who lap up seasonal content in live service games because it's free
When are they going to write one-person dinner interactions for Lyle, Phillippe, Aster, and The Spider?
>>736993965>I'm with you, anon. Just finish the damn thing and then release it.This is all part of the scummy psychological/marketing tactics, anon. If a dev doesn't drip feed shit and make sure you know what he's doing every waking moment of every single day by streaming it, how else will people remain "hooked" to a bloody single player game trying to LARP as some live-service always-relevant shit?Don't support retards who do shit like this. For if you do, you are the problem. You are the ones responsible for the decline of gaming and you don't even realize it.
>>736994238>live service gamesI thought this was a single player RPG
>>736992006that's pretty neat
>>736993357eight bucks for a video game is basically free
guys go talk to the infinite chain guy in the basement
>>736993891I appreciate monster women with sharp, pointy teeth
>>736994298Nope, anons in this thread who played season 1 in October experienced a very different game compared to new players buying the game now.
>>736991194The thing that makes us human, is not to look outside; it is to look inside.- John-Paul Sharter
>>736994448Sharter? I hardly know 'er!
>>736994298It isthe dev also keeps coming up with new shit he wants to do because he's the worst kind of perfectionistthe primary game he's been developing he's been working on for, like, ten years or something
>>736994429>anons in this thread who played season 1 in October experienced a very different game compared to new players buying the game now.oh... how different is it now then?
You can kiss The Visitor now.
>Fixed glitch where broken weapons doesn't gives you junkFucking FINALLY. I can actually get Morton semi early now.
>>736994804They buffed Morton too
>>736994847What about him got buffed?
>>736994734At last, what we've all been waiting for
>>736994429You could say that about any game really, Look at any fromsoft game base launch vs patches and nerfs/buffs.
>>736994951He can throw his fidget items for damage and all of them are more powerful now.
> Copy Dad ability no longer copies gun skills for free - they now cost bullets for the rat's equipped gunI already hated that critter and now it's even worse kekByebye Ratina, back to the good old standby of Dan+Hellen+Audrey
>>736991194>check it>fixed>fixed>repeat this at least 20 timesNever played this game but this make it look like this never was able to run
>>736994660Halloween update basically doubled the content of the game
I'm at the end of the game and the update just hit. Do I just go up to the roof and finish this run off or do I spend some time looking at new shit first? Feel like I'd get more enjoyment out of going in blind.
test
I just want to know if the Plumbing Toolboxes have a use now. Please, let me get rid of this useless drop, I'm begging you.
>>736995315Just finish the game and look for new stuff. So far the hidden new stuff just seems to be>You can kiss the visitor>Fridges can attack you on cursed mode>Kind is now a door encounter (he steals some of your stuff and leaves)
Things I now know:>JacobDon't let him in, he's a thieving nigger>HellenIf you see her at the door, ask who she is. If she says 'Nobody', don't let her in. She's gone.
>>736995994Nta but thanksDo you guys think he added the marble merchant yet or No ?
If I played this game when it came out, how different is it now? I'm down to play this again, but it's only been 1 year and it seems to still be getting new shit.
>>736993357>Never pay more than $0 for RPG Maker sludge.What are you poor?
Can I fucking post now?>ywn make lyle a fresh meal
>>736994734Lmao. I got my wish. So what happens?
>>736996319
>>736996361It will take a full 10 minutes to post every screenshot due to how awful this site is.
>>736996073>hellen has a corrupted door encounteris this a doppleganger situation where she's still out there or is it a "removed from the game situation" because straight up losing hellen would fucking suck
>>736996405There was a big heart on screen but I didn't capture it.
>>736996440I don't knowThe enemy's name was still 'Maniac', I think it's herShe fucking obliterated me, did a rampage move with 3 hits of 50 damage, finished off both Sam and Sophie
>>736996447>>736996440There are no doppelgangers, that's headcanon. All hostile encounters are the same person save for Xaria and Monty's.
>>736996486
>>736996528
okayas someone who enjoys rpgs for team comps and synergies, treasure-hunting, and grinding, what makes this game so special?is it literally just the writing?
>>736996578Fin.
>>736996486>There are no doppelgangersI've gotten sophies mom after killing the dopple and morton after his before. Dan and limb thief are different because you have to reject them first
>>736996609Funny but sad
>>736996593Good writing and fun premise, nice graphics, great musicCool feeling of being an explorer and scavenger and figuring out what's going onInteresting party members, though the team building is a little more rigid there are still cool synergies. Xaria can give everyone extra turns for example, Rat Kid can copy moves that Sam uses for free, things like that. There's also some team members with cool alternate builds (Dan can be support or specialized into any of the 3 main physical damage types, Audrey can be enemy of the 3 main elemental types or a godly healer)That's about the long and short of it with regards to RPG stock I think
Based on this Frankie quote>Dream Eater Aster going back to teaching, having to teach kids instead of college students, but trying and failing to look severe to discipline the students but none of the kids take him seriously
>>736996654That's because it's bugged. You could kill any trader or recruit and they'd respawn a day later.
Sybil's new boss music is kino
>>736995052Just realized I accidentally left a little red dot on the side of that picture nowI'm glad someone saved it though
>>736994238>it's free content>GOOD GOY ENJOY THAT FREE UPDATES DON'T YOU FEEL SCAMMED BY ALL THE FREE STUFF YOU ARE GETTING KEEP LAPPING UP THAT FREE CONTENT
the juice is loose
>>736994381You can fight him, he just moans/screams at you (causing charm and confuse), and there is a unique game over screen. I think he's an impossible battle.
Crazy how this game still gets content meanwhile that funger nigga has been working on the termnina update for 3 years.
>>736996593The gameplay is dogshit bog-standard RPGM garbage.People only like this game for literally every other part of it that isn't the gameplay.Just play Enchant Farm and never play another game again, because that is the gameplay peak.
Enchant farm is fucking garbage. You dumb niggers always pick the worst RPGM games to shill
>>737000363but muh gameplay that is just a vastly inferior and uglier SaGa
>>736996593>what makes this game so special?>is it literally just the writing?It's like a survival horror / dark humor game where the real draw, imo, is the mystery and mystique of what's going on and then piecing things together and figuring it out and getting the perfect ending. Everything else you can, like it's just an RPGmaker game. If all you wanna do is grind and pick up shiny things, there are better games for that.
Phil has a sidequest but you need to have saved Jean-Pierre from the fungus to trigger it, as well as wait for this guy to show up to your door.
>>737000363ignore the SaGa schizo
>>737000469There is no grinding in this game, most of your strength just comes from the stuff you equip.
>>737000430>muh gameplay that is just a vastly inferior and uglier SaGaHave you ever played SaGa *or* Enchant Farm before?Enchant Farm is like Pokemon but with a more Dark Souls kinda feel to its world.
>>737000490There were a lot of unfinished door encounters in older patches. I wonder if this amounts to anything now.
>>737000556>its like poop but with a shit feel to it
>>737000930What is wrong with you?
>>737000930kek
>>736991329It's not, I played it not long ago and I was impressed how comprehensive and full of content, both mandatory and optional, the game was. This is just the dev working hard and increasing content to already complete game for free.
>>737000930But enough about Look Outside!
>>737000563Mutated Hobbs is a tough fight if you're early in the game, but hunger is an actual debuff now so I imagine the thing he drops will be of use.
Look Outside had a cool concept and it got turned into another Tumblrtale. The only good things were the starting that is more survival horror and the end that is Lovecraftian horror. It would have made a good 2 hour long game.But then the entire middle section got padded with goofy Undertale shit. Unfunny jokes. Quirk chungus characters. The enemies become more goofy and disconnected from the world. Every update to the game has added to the bloat.The original release had better pacing where you just get to the end. If you look past the painter, the bus full of fingers, the landlord sections, it's not a bad game. But now the middle section is so long and so zany you completely forget what game you are supposed to be playing. It's just nonsense. The entire game gets derailed as you enter the rat level, the peepeepoopoo level, the ice level, the fire level, the flower level. It has nothing to do with anything, completely disconnected from what you should be doing. The monster designs get so tryhard and they lose all impact because there are too many of them and all of them are too goofy.
>>737001760case in point>>736993825>>736994734The game got completely tumblrfied. Anyone who got tricked into playing the game based on how good the original release is will be playing this tumblr shit with jarring out of place ''k-kissing??? t-that's LE LEWD'' shit.Insanely cringe. Will completely ruin the ending for anyone playing this blind and the big visitor reveal being ruin by options to kiss it.Very embarrassing how Jeanne turned from just some lady who got her life ruined into some tumblr fanfic shit. Sam is ugly and Jeanne is probably an old ugly woman. There was no cringe romance there, and now it got retconned so they act like 12 year old autistic children think romance works.Anyone who bought the game should get a refund.
>>737001939>will be playing this tumblr shit with jarring out of place ''k-kissing??no they won't unless they use a gimmick name nobody would ever naturally use
>>737001939its a april fools bit and the game warns you if you try to use it
The enchant farm cuck is still at it? Kek
>>737001760>But then the entire middle section got padded with goofy Undertale shit.You mean goofy Mother shit? You mean goofy Mother shit.
>>736998669Whats the game over?
>>736991329beat me to it. I never get around to playing this fucking game because every time I'm worried there'll be another update and I'll be playing a worse version I avoided the 1.0 release, then ever since it's been a case of a big patch dropping, then the dev sneakily working on another giant one over and over. what's to stop there being another patch, or two, or three? also I've had to go to the store page and dev stream every few days to see if the update has dropped, fucking annoyingit feels like there's never a good time to actually play a new game because you can never be sure when it's actually finished. even Early Access games that release their 1.0 are never actually finished, it's more like EA is the alpha, 1.0 is the beta and the 'definitive edition' is the real 1.0
>>737003267As long as there is interest, the devs will usually keep on adding content. If you've been waiting for the "right" moment to play terraria, you would never have played it in the 15 years it's out. Just play the fucking game. How do people complain about free?
>>736996710Love this goober
>fags ITT think that if a game gets post-launch support it's not "finished" and is "early access"The game was "finished" for a long time faggots. You could play it from start to finish and get multiple endings from release. The dev just added extra stuff to it and polished out some issues.I don't know why faggots are suddenly starting to complain about games getting patches for a long time especially when it's followed by saying "back then games launched finished and didn't need patches" when you could assemble a long list of games (GOOD games, I am not calling them bad so fuck off) from back in the day that launched and then barely even got patched when they had notorious issues (including game breaking ones) that today have to be fixed by the community, assuming it still exists and gives a shit. Original Xcom, the infamous Daggerfall, Emperor of The Fading Suns... generally it was the RPG's and strategy games that often came out buggy due to having a lot of data to process and keep track off, but even games like Doom or Quake had funky bugs. Be grateful than in the modern age people expect games to be patched post-release.
>>737004426No one complains about balance patches and bug fixes, these things are expected. Adding "content" regularly to a single player game is cancer unless it's done through expansions/DLC. I want a finished game when it hits 1.0, not some cyberpunk bullshit that is actually done 2 years later and is drastically different
>>737005273I'm personally glad he adds more content and doesn't listen to joyless fags on 4chan
>update of existing game add innecesary dumb shit, sometimes interesting, other times funny, cringe, or game-changing in the worst of waysI didn't know this game was developed by Atlus
>>736991194Leigh still counting as a party member even though she's just going to freeload in your apartment, eating your food is really lame. She should count as temporary like Earnest does so you can still get Papi early.
>>737005273It was done when it hit 1.0. That's what people are telling you, if you could put your autism aside for a moment and listen. These updates ARE mini-expansion packs that flesh out side areas. Just play the fucking game instead of handwringing about missing out on an encounter you're not even going to trigger because you have to wear the orange shirt and you only want to wear the green shirt because the orange shirt reminds you of carrots and you don't like the texture of carrots :(
>>737006992just new to this version >special attacks for multiple weapons >new abilities for party members >new rewards for beating a boss >new items added to an area>more save dialogue about vidconsand im sure past updates added even more substantial content. that's not a finished game, this is early access.imagine buying and playing ff7, and then 6 months later a revision comes out that adds new limit breaks, armor, and dialogue.
>>736996082>Do you guys think he added the marble merchant yet or No ?If you mean the guy with the top hat, he's a door encounter too. It looks like Frankie may have added in all the unused door encounters, with the main new ones being discovered so far>Kind aka Jacob, who steals your stuff>Cursed Hellen>Fake Hallway (the random free item event can now be a cursed event with a new boss)>Top hat guy>Smith fungus guy for Phillipe side questThere are probably more.
>>737006160>Before silverfish reproduce, they carry out a ritual involving three phases, which may last over half an hour. In the first phase, the male and female stand face to face, their vibrating antennae touching, then repeatedly back off and return to this position. In the second phase, the male runs away and the female chases him. In the third phase, the male and female stand side by side and head to tail, with the male vibrating his tail against the female. Finally, the male lays a spermatophore, a sperm capsule covered in gossamer, which the female takes into her body via her ovipositor to fertilize her eggs.Kind of romantic until that last bit.
>>737002638
>>737007705
>>737007395That's Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne. That's Starcraft: Broodwar. That's Age of Empires II: The Conquerors. That's The Witcher Enhanced Edition. That's most 'GOTY Edition' versions of games. Except these updates are free and don't change the core story. Getting upset about this is like saying you HAVE to buy the Digital Delux Supreme versions of games so you can get the unique hat and different sword skin otherwise you aren playing the early acces version and not truly experiencing the game.
>>737007486But, but what's not romantic about giving a girl a ball of your sperm?
>>737007774>wake up>posts still take several minutes to go throughruh roh
>>737008008
>>737008104
>>737001760>>737001939You're completely right but it's not something that this thread is willing to hear
>>737007414Well I didn't know he was an actual guy yet. I just asked Frankie if he'd ever do that and he said he had it planned as an npc in a stream once Knowing it's a door encounter kinda sucks but whatever lolTime to start my childs run again
>>737001760Look, anon. There's only so much horror you can actually put into a story before it becomes numbing. The fifth monster wrought of bones and gnashing fangs can still be intimidating. The fiftieth simply cannot. There is a ceiling to it. It is BETTER that it abandons the survivalist angle and becomes more a story about unraveling the mystery and questing through this underworld, the change in tone is merited and entirely satisfying if you approach the game in understanding of that.>>737001939Kisser mode is entirely optional and deliberately out of tone, you can't stumble into it randomly.
Latest hotfix added these Troops but the only one that has anything is Hellen's (the same encounter for when you piss her off).
Why is someone in this thread upset that this game is getting more content? I played it when it launched and it was a complete game. I haven't played the new shit, but it was a very satisfying game (with an incredibly bullshit and boring middle) when it launched, so I can't understand why there is one anon absolutely melting in this thread that a game is getting more content.
>>736996609thanks for posting
>>737008479Nevermind I think this is for the gauntlet
>>736991329Retard it's literally free updates, just like dead estate which is awsome, just go play something else and come back 5~10 updates later instead of obsessively playing with each update
>>737008592Adding filler that makes a game worse isn't "getting more content."The dev is coping and wants to coast on his lottery win instead of proving it wasn't just a fluke by making a new game, at the expense of what was originally a concise work that didn't overstay its welcome.
>>736994238>live service games because it's """free"""Limbus company is two blocks down faggot
>>737008654He added a Boss rush gauntlet? Where is it?
>>737008592content is not inherently good. modern games being in an ever ambiguous state due to patches is cancer.>>737008664>play something else and come back 5~10 updates laterthis is an early access game
>>737008718I've heard it's accessible through Floor 4, you need to kill the new Keywoman door encounter for a Strange Key to open the door. That might be something else but it is new.
>>737008680>at the expense of what was originally a concise work that didn't overstay its welcome.I don't really know about that. I loved the beginning and the end, but I thought the landlord's apartment and the entirety of the sewers and the moth place were all filler bullshit that almost made me quit the game. So I wouldn't say it was concise to begin with, the middle was pretty much all bloat. >>737008783>content is not inherently goodI supposed that's true, and I haven't played the new updates because it's still too recent for a replay for me, but I can't imagine there be anything worse than the landlord's apartment or the sewers added to this game, and I can only expect the segments I hated to become more fleshed out or at least less boring and annoying and empty.
Lost me with that "smooch mode" shit. Sooner or later, a Canadian will reveal their true form, and once people accept it, it's only more fetish content from there.
>>737009396>unironic ree over an april fools joke
>>737009528>You don't UNDERSTAND>It has to be a JOKE about KISSING MONSTERS>NO it's not a FETISH>It's a JOKE HAHA>NO I can't JOKE about ANYTHING ELSE>IT HAS TO BE A MONSTER FETISH JOKEnah
>itt
>>737009396This faggot doesn't want to smooch monster women, everyone point and laugh
>>737009620Don't worry, you can also kiss some humans.
A pity this game is just a lot of brown people. The setting looks cool and I love body horror.
>>737009620>I'm gonna be REDUCTIONIST>you see EVERYTHING is a fetish>breathing air you fucking oxygenfag?>blinking your eyes you glinty seenigger?>I CANNOT EVEN THINK OF A WORLD OUTSIDE OF PORN>SEX SEX SEX ALL IS SEX EVERYTHING IS SEX

>>737009909>niggeraids server not only treated my post as not going through but removed the spoiler text
>>737009894maybe the real unspeakable horrors were the brown people we met along the way
>>737009396I feel kind of the same way. The kissing shit is optional, like really optional, but I think I was lucky enough to have played it before the stupid sentai endings and the whole thing became a parody of itself.
>>737008664Dead Estate sucks with its retarded meta currency implementation, I had 100% achievements before that shit. You can cheese it so you can get more than 2 coins a run, unless they've fixed it, but it's tedious, and I'm not going to do that just to get my 100% back. Didn't even want to use SAM to get them, as I feel it would encourage their retardation.
>>736991329Glad I haven't beat it yet. Going to wait until maybe 3.0
The cursed merchants are pretty gnarly.
If you initially refuse to let Kind/Jacob in, he'll offer you $200. Then you can let him in and just kick him out? Don't know if this will bite me in the ass later.
Apparently you can recruit Morton outside of door encounters now?
>>736991329It was in a complete state on release, everything in it was fully implemented and there weren't loose ends.He's just autistic and can't stop adding things.
>>737010971thank fuck, so much of your potential party being knotted up in door encounters was goddamn GAY for a game about roaming a building you have to stay in your shitty little room for 5 days straight
>>737001939>Takes the April Fools joke seriously and as canon and not as a secret goofy mode that's inaccessible without a password
>>736992834She's more of a liability in cursed mode. She eats 8 meals worth of food and an additional meal worth per day. That is a fuck ton of cooking experience and heals down the drain for a character that's nowhere near the upper echelons of the party roster.
>>737011212You can even kiss Pierre, the only character that Sam refuses to have positive interactions with. It's obviously a fucking joke.
>>737011362>Can't sleep, clown will eat me
>>736993967What's the main project?
>>737011538nta but Malisoniirc he's been working on that for years even before look outside
>>736991329>>737003267If you’re waiting for the right time to play a game, you probably never really wanted to play it in the first place
>>737003669>How do people complain about free?When all of the shit added in hindsight eventually warps the original experience into something unrecognizable, and you also can’t really refuse any of the new shit added.
On my first playthrough, I fucked up with the photo paper and got the void disc projection on it (not the negative disc) and I can't load an earlier saveI'm really tempted to start a new game but should I just push trough? After it's my first time playing this...
Lyle's big fat enormous gigantic elephantine colossal monumental thick sweaty glossy smelly musky pungent heady soft squishy jiggling wobbling abdomen.
>>737003267Play 1.0 or 1.1 for a "Classic" run. Play latest otherwise.That's all you need to do. 1.0 was a complete experience from start to finish, arguably with better pacing, than later updates. All mechanics are in the game, all characters start and finish, multiple endings, it's a complete game. Every update after has been victory laps just cramming the game full of more content, but the game was done at 1.0
>>737011745Iirc if you have Lyle develop the film and it's incorrect he'll give you more photo paper if you ask.
>>737011745*after all, it's my..
>>737011745You should be able to re-do it, after 2.0 you can swap out offerings as long as you didn't save after starting the end of the game, which is pretty obvious.
>>737011681It's more than I want my first playthrough of a game to be satisfying and complete, not "well this section kind of sucks but I'm sure it will be good in 6 months" it also fucks with discussion. ask someone who played this game on release about the boss rush and they'll be scratching their head
>>737009909>goddmuttelaborate
>>736991194i wish we just got a sequel already exploring another place in the world facing the visitor event with new characters, complete new enviroment
>>736991329Play it.Finish it.Come back 5 years later if you liked it.Have a fresh experience again due to all the added things.It's not that hard to understand.
>>737012073This is a weird mentality to have, you should view big updates as an excuse to replay if you feel like it, it's not like this game is long at all.
>>737006160I somewhat agree with you, but while it worked out in this particular instance, it’d be lying to deny this development model doesn’t inadvertently contribute to the much larger “you don’t fully own the games you purchase anymore” problem facing both AAA AND Indie gaming.
>>737012106>>737012150you are describing early access games. bet you both praised cyperpunk 2.0 for giving you an excuse to replay the game. same with the new starfield update
>>737012083It's when you try to fight Mutt and you hadn't bought anything from his special inventory, should be done on a later day so that all of the items are there. He uses every item against you and is one of the hardest bosses in the game now
>>737006160While I mostly agree with you, it’d be lying to deny this particular development model doesn’t inadvertently contribute to the much larger “you don’t fully own the games you purchase anymore” problem facing both AAA AND Indie gaming.
>>737012007>>737012049Jesus Christ, it worked! Thank you anons!May you have a wonderful week.
>>737012258No I bought the game, loved it, and have played it multiple times because it's short, has different endings, different parties to use, etc, it lends well to being updated over time like this. You just sound like an autist who is mad you can't do everything in one playthrough, which you can't do in this game to begin with, it's not designed that way.
>>737012258An early access game is incomplete.The game was released in a completed state, start to finish, optional parts, and endings.The later additions are simply additions on top of the completed game.
>>737012258What kind of retard do you have to be to play something, enjoy it, but the second some more contet is added it retroactively ruins your enjoyment of the game?
>>737012374there are things that are literally impossible to do in a playthrough because they aren't implemented. this applies to the current build which I'm sure is far from final>>737012393if you are adding to the game via patches, it isn't complete >>737012495the kind that expects a finished game when I buy one
There's a cursed version of Sophie now, but she has the potential to become an NPC that camps by your apartment and offers items.
>>737012258Games have had dlc, episodes and expansions, special editions/cart revisions with exclusive content and balance changes, and content locked to peripherals for the past 30 years, kid.
>>737012589>Plays an unfinished game>Game has sequels that tie up all lose ends>"I see no problem with this">Plays a finished game>Dev adds a funny lil green hat as an update>"NNNNnoonoOonoooooo literally unplayable garbage"Go suck Todd's cock some more, maybe he'll knock a dollar off from "Skyrim Very Special Edition This Is The Last Time We Rerelease It We Swear"
>>737010475>Dead Estate sucksYou are GAYYYYYYYY>, I had 100% achievements before that shit.Same but idk what you're talking about, I've only checked out the gigachad actor and the tomboy criminal lady, other then that it still in the backlog, I'm honestly very excited to play it when i get there since it was a very fun game back when i played it in the first or second update years ago
>>737010475>Dead Estate sucksYou are GAY, GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY>, I had 100% achievements before that shit.Same but idk what you're talking about, I've only checked out the gigachad actor and the tomboy criminal lady, other then that it still in the backlog, I'm honestly very excited to play it when i get there since it was a very fun game back when i played it in the first or second update years agoFIX THE FUCKING CAPTCHA HIROMOOT YOU FAGGOT
>>737012642expansions are transparent paid additions. everything else you mentioned is the same cancer, and was uncommon and lambasted. now every game, indie and AAA, is developing the game long after release >>737012749too dumb to realize that content updates are the same shit as skyrim but with official mods. morrowind plugins are some of the earliest examples of "dude our shit game isn't finished, here's the rest of the game"
>>737012284I played the game on patch 1.2 and it's amazing how little content is had compared to now. Over 60% of the games bosses didn't exist. Facetaker wasn't a fight you just punch him once and you win. The taxidermy boss didn't have a second phase and just died in a few hits. The sewer and basement were pretty empty aside from the parking lot. The final boss had to have their HP tripled so players couldn't beat it while it couldn't attack. The amount of forced fights to complete a real ending were almost single digits.
Why is a sentient uterus that attacks you with his offspring considered less obscene and edgy than a penis?
>>737013007>Expansion (Added to the game you already bought) bad>Expansion (Sold for 1/2 the game's price) goodYou could just never update the game and still enjoy it.
I guess it was only a matter of time until this game started attracting dedicated schizophrenics like every other discussion on this hellsiteoh well, such is life
>>737012589Stop twisting my words faggot, it's impossible to do everything in a single playthrough because you have to choose one outcome over the other. There are hundreds of instances of that in this game, even back when 1.0 came out.
>>737013223go ahead and tell me how >>737013039 resembles an expansion and not an early access game getting finished >>737013346>impossible to do everything in a single playthroughthis is expected when you buy a game. multiple characters/enemies/items/events not even existing until the next update is gay
>>737013470This game was made for a game jam and only got expanded as much as it did from the positive reception. It's also a dirt cheap RPG maker game, why are you offended when more stuff gets added to it for free? I can't agree with your strange stance at all dude.
>>737013579because it's advertised as a finished game and not an early access one being "expanded" it should be like project zomboid and at least be transparent about being unfinished
>>737013470Because in 1.2 it's a 15 hour long game with multiple endings, and optional content, it tells a full story from start to finish. It's complete.You're now arguing that the game is incomplete because more was added to it, but every game could have more added to it, they just choose not to. It isn't adding base mechanics missing from the game or adding conclusions to quests that you could start but couldn't finish, it's simply more.If the game was left at what it was, it'd be complete. More was added, it's still complete.
Why do you guys even respond to these retards lolJust enjoy the geimu
Feedback does blast damage now and costs 6 STM
>>737013718I want you to explain how the game is unfinished without saying "Well they added more after."Were there quests unfinished?Could you not get to the ending?Were basic mechanics missing?Was it unplayable without cheats or workarounds?It was a full game from start to finish. You can play the whole thing and be satisfied. People who bought 1.0 and played 1.0 and reviewed it, did so under the belief it was a complete product, enjoyed it, and that was it. He could have released like 5 of these updates as 10 dollar expansions each. Would you prefer the complete game was 100 dollars with multiple expansions?
>>737013814cyperpunk 2077 released as a 60 hour game with endings and side content, but it sure wasn't finished. >>737013934>He could have released like 5 of these updates as 10 dollar expansions each. Would you prefer the complete game was 100 dollars with multiple expansions?I would judge them on the merit of the content added, and the patch notes lean closer to horse armor than shivering isles
>>736991194Played it back when it was 1.0 and (1.6 I think?)Overall one of the better modern games, but it's a shame that the first two floors of the game build up this fantastic survival horror atmosphere and then it turns into essentially more adult undertale. It always gives me a massive whiplash, but still solid game all around. Wish I could find the dev's earlier unfinished games, like one where you're in this rural looking village trying to enter a mega-church, seen it played on stream me and never found it again.
>>737014123>Wow bro these updates add like 300% more game, the game is super incomplete without it!>Actually it's just horse armor, frivolous and unnecessary doodads tacked on that adds very little to no value or completion to the product. >>737014164I personally liked that as the more sane people you met and the more party members you got, the more the game "Eased up" on it, but, 1.0 I feel like is better with the pacing for that reason, because it shifts the scarier and more dreadful first half into a more hopeful second half as you "adapt" and recognize others are doing their part to survive together, too. The more you add, the less "Horror" first part you get.
>>737012606How does that even work? If you don't kill that encounter, it just stays there?
>>737014262By the way, how you feel about the new music additions, because personally they were the one thing I strongly dislike in the newer updates; as they feel too different/distinct from the original OST and frankly don't sound as good either (to my ears at least.)But I get that, and I do rather like some encounters like the centipede kid in the garage, the granny and the kids underground, and the pub of people just kinda trying to continue their daily lives as usual in spite of their new forms.
>>736991194Too much content in this game. It's bloatslop
>>737014427I do think some of the newer trakcs feel too "Different", like they're using different soundfonts, and it makes sense when you see it's different musicians working on it, but it is clashing at times. Some of the songs are pretty good. I think it's one of the easiest things to "clash" with the game since the soundtrack is so distinct.
>>737014452>I want to look up a wiki like I always do because I'm too retarded to progress on my own but the dev is making it harderLook at this scrub...
>>736996710oh nooo haha don't eat me while i'm asleep haha
>>737014452This isn't the Crimson Desert thread.
>>737014452I unironically feel this way now there's too much to be done is such few in-game days
You fuck GOOD for a pipsqueak. Heh heh heh heh...Wanna sacrifice your fridge in my name?
>>737016362>nerfed leigh into the fucking ground>left dan infinite damage blind exploit untouchedWhy? Just because he's a door encounter?
The big room in Hellen's apartment got a lot of details.This took 5+ attempts to post btw.
>>736991194how do I prevent updates on steam whilst still being able to play them?
>>736991194Heard this is a video game
Nestor/Eugene gets worse with each day
>>736991329>singleplayer game with lots of content>updated more regularly with better things than most live service slop>eugggggggh ohhh oh nooo I hate when I get more value than I originally asked forwhat the fuck are you talking about?
>>737016362I'm going to do her quest to see if any aspect of her got buffed. Otherwise she's literally an active detriment to even fight now. If you're not recruiting/using the rat child, she's worthless.Even if you're using rat child, you can kick her out day 3 when it grows up so she doesn't fuck up your cooking xp gain by eating an irreplaceable amount of early game food. You can't even use her day 1 without deep exploration and if all of this wasn't bad enough, she still counts against Pap's character limit despite literally not being able to be added to your party when she "joins"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>737016694I guess Frankie's anticipating some super-big you cancer to make a video on the game spoiling to everyone where to find and recruit Leigh.
>>736991194still does not start with windows 7
>>737017207I asked for a finished game
>>737009396Half of these threads before that mode was added was literally anons fantasizing about fucking the monster women in this game lmao
>>737017491just run a VM of linux already
>>737017262Can't you recruit Pap later though?The game throws Pap at you as a door encounter as a safety net, but I'm pretty sure you find him in a small room either at ground floor or basement.
>>737017562>women
>>737017530it was finished when it came out.
>>737017680then why is it twice as long now?
>>737017753Because it's been expanded upon. You ever heard of expansion packs anon? They may be before your time.
Has anyone beaten the gauntlet yet? The last boss has 8000 HP and uses Sybil's old mutated sprite.

>>737017753It's not wrice as long, it has twice as more stuff.If a road adds a second lane it doesn't double the time you need to get from a to b unless you want to use the added width to swirve your car around.

>>737013282This game has had a dedicated schizo on /vrpg/ for a while now. He shits up very Look Outside thread and every RPG maker thread every time anyone mentions Look Outside. He probably just migrated to /v/.
>>737018043Do you think it's bad content?Also food analogy because the retard, probably (you), wouldn't understand it otherwise.

I really need to set a weekend aside to play this game.

>>737022135Nice girls don't ride motorcycles. She's mean.
I love Pierre, I wish he was recruitable.
>>737022168But the proof's in the pudding, she's nice when she talks to you
>>736991329Anon we live in an age of digital distribution. People can add on crap whenever they want.Why look foolish and be pedantic, beyond the typical "I got all the (yous)!"?
>>736993361the combat music tells you if you're underlevelled, stop playing games while watching streamers underage brown retard
>>737022287Sam would kill himself before inviting that thing into his home.
>>737022337>we live in an age of digital distribution. People can add on crap whenever they want.this is bad. it incentivizes the release of broken or unfinished games. you even have retards praising this behavior with the "engoodening" bullshit
>>736993357>sludgeOh my god it's you, I just realized
>>737003669>How do people complain about free?Where do you think you are? Pedantic people bitch and moan all the time.
>>736991329>>736993907>>736993965>>736994179In one hand, I do admire the developer's commitment to keep working on the game even after the hype has died out, I think it's awesome.But on the other hand, it IS a bit tiresome to play the game and then all of a sudden he releases patch after patch adding new stuff... I mean yeah, in theory it is great, but for those who finished the game before and don't want to replay it again and again it feels like you've played and incomplete or inferior version.
>>737013818Frankly I get a mini high dunking on obvious clowns. I wany to imagine them seething and crying because they can never be happy with ANYTHING for some dumbass reason or another.Frankly I'm pretty sure somehow some asshole high off his farts assumes he "got" us all in social engineering or whatever.

I think the weapon destruction system adds nothing to the game, because even the game recognizes it would be miserable to use low damage weapons in the later sections so the game feeds you good weapons. I'd just get rid of it entirely. Also why is the cleaver the best weapon in the game?
>>737001939Anon the smooching is literally an optional april fools mode that came out well after it was completed. The original also had Lyle. I think you've got a stick up your ass about nothing.

>>737028356No. There's a bad ending if you don't send Nestor and try to romance Rafta yourself, but that's of the instant game over variety. Otherwise, all you get is the various Nestor fights and no more refreshing of Eugene's shop. The only upside is access to the worm egg shop and its associated items.
>>737028681As you'd expect from body horror

>>737028254true
>>736991329true, it's just a matter of marketing. devs who put up games as "early access" are retards trying to be humble

>>737036008Considering Dan is so fucking stupid that he gets banned from Twitch for broadcasting the visitor, I would say he would be another DSP

Just bought it. How does it fare compared to Jimmy and the pulsating mass ? I just saw they added a hard mode in that game too so I might do a full replay
>>737039782You don't have to die of cancer in the end so its a potentially more positive experience
>>737029404Too bad you can't kill him and turn him into meat for cooking.
Jeanne didn't get any tooth family treatment right?
>>737038596Kissing Steve lets you calm him down without giving up your bandages. Trench Digger lets you go once, and Nestor gets too disgusted to take over your body. Some enemies get charmed but from what I've seen it's only the Wounded Neighbor and some rats.
>>737040603No
>>737028317It gets you more xp
Any hopes Frankie will finally stop updating this game so I can play it? I completed it when it was considerably more barebones than it is now (on release, game didn't even have 200 reviews when I got it)I'll play it one more time when everything is added in but then never again
>>737043921If you let the body part infect the toilet guy but stop the other body part from infecting Eugene its basically all positive, just means more walking bags of EXP.
>>737001760While i do agree that it is a little too tumblrtale, at least it is intermitent with the horror stuff as well. Fear & hunger is just all horror and its not pleasant at all, it gets old quite fast.

>>736991194>>736991329I have this game and am in the same boat as SP, do I just turn off updates and bite the bullet atp or do I wait another year to see if the updates fall off on a potential sequel / new project? I really want to play this game, but I want the developers vision, hardmode replay included with secrets, will I get the gist of the gameplay loop and the way it plays with that? Or should I wait for the true true true extra secret ending to release for maximum sweat?
>>736991194Jesus fuck. The Fridge mimics are literally impossible. What was Frankie thinking?
>>737047219>Potential updates fall off on a new projectThere's no telling because this basically already happened and is happening. Look Outside was a branched off project made for a game jam while the dev was making his 'real' game which is a horror RPG called Malison. This game already uses Malison assets, and said dev is a bit capricious so even if he said he was done with Look Outside he could, at any time, get a cool idea for it and go back to working on it.I think you just bite the bullet and play it.
>2.3 has balance changes>Aster isn't on the listOutside of the Fire Safety buff for the furnace Aster is fucking useless and is an active detriment to you in most of the endings.. Weird that Aster and Ernest are supposed to fill similar roles in a team given how they're both annoying to recruit and the latter is about ten times as effective.
>>737047757Didn't they make Aster alot easier to recruit
>>737047757I think they're both useless, Ernest's songs never felt like they made a difference to meOnly support I need is Audrey
