Do NOT/DO eat the Mold, it's Dangerous/Delicious
Why did he do it?
>finally play it>threads are dead everyone already moved on
>>749364063why did clark run away
>4 fucking different summon abilitiesWhat the fuck, just half the fucking enemy count and make the unused buttons weapon swaps.
>>749366532the skill tree and loadout systems are incomprehensibleis there a mod that just lets me have different buttons for different attacksi got barrage rock throwing but in the skill tree half the points are useful for shield or summon but nothing related to rock throwing
>>749367097This is my favorite mod for this gamehttps://www.nexusmods.com/controlresonant/mods/107allows weapon switching for light and heavyand allows you to manually execute combat finishers, you can legit just do constant combat finishers if you wanted ability skills also work by just holding two buttons to use themnexus is being gay so the latest update of it cant be downloaded for the version before it still works
This is what not jacking it to black pyramids will do to you
I'm now deep in Act 2. At first I found the game tedious with all the open world stuff, but the story really picks up in the Underpass and it's been kino ever since.
>>749367415spamming combo finishers would be too overpowered no?
So what's up with the Underpass? Is it like the roots of the Oldest House? Is it actually physically below Manhattan or is it a threshold with the sinkhole just being an entrance that opened due to the patterning?
>>749372280I think it's a resonant reflection of the world above, the way the sky just goes up, and the hole just goes down. The sinkhole was a means for the resonant entity to try and get into the oldest house from below, where it keeps all of its old discarded rooms and the foundations and the nail are. It was probably trying to resonate the nail, now that I think about it.
>fight for controlKINOOOOOOO!
>>749364859Daddy issues and stress.
>>749372791>I think it's a resonant reflection of the world aboveThe sapling seems like it's part of the Oldest House and has been there as long as the House has. The lightbulb quest also makes it seem like the entire area is connected to the Oldest House and has also been around for as long.
>>749372280It contains the roots and the heart of the Oldest House.
The best part is you can eat her
>>749376293Yeah I was thinking it's something like that.I'm kind of curious about where it actually exists. Has it physically been under Manhattan all this time or is it a threshold connected to/a part of the Oldest House that just had an entrance open due to the patterning?
>>749364063DON'TEATTHEMOLDDYLAN
>>749376723I would lean towards threshold, or part of the oldest house where space is malleable. Remember that the Foundation expansion is supposed to be under there.
sinkhole more like kinohole
>>749376723It’s probably always just been underground. Remember how they mentioned it’s possible that the space in the Sinkhole always existed, and the Patterning merely opened it up? I think the Tree itself, being Humanity’s oldest home, became an Object of Power, and resulted in the creation of the Oldest House above ground. It’s also heavily implied to be Yggdrasil.
>>749365330I am still playing. I just saved Airish from the evacuation zone.
Just how many health points are there in this game again? I'd swear I've collected every single large resource crate at this point and I'm still missing 2 out of 3 for one final health upgrade. Jesus christ this game's bugged to hell
>>749376961I feel like it would need to either always be connected to the Oldest House or just straight up be a part of it below the Foundation. It seems the Sapling is almost the heart or something, so what would the House do if it lost connection to the heart?The House itself seems like a threshold so it's probably just part of the same one with a different entrance.>>749377290I'm not sure how that works though. Surely it would have been discovered via ground scans or something. Unless it has the same effect as the House where you don't notice it unless you know about it. Even then, the FBC should have discovered it earlier.I feel like a massive cave directly under one of the largest cities in the world is a bit too much of a stretch.
>>749378350Much like the Oldest House, unless you’re explicitly looking for it, you won’t find it. The patterning is likely messing with this though.
>>749378350NYC is right by the water, so I feel like any open underground space would have filled in by now.
>setting up beacons>accidentally skip the first link because I thought I was supposed to jump to the evac building first
>>749378206Some are locked in zones that open only if you do specific sidequests. The only way to get them all is to do all quests and tasks.
>>749372280Oldest House was discovered in the NY sewersAlso its DMC5 where the building is actually the root
>>749380481I've scoured the game at this point. Finished the story, high scored all arcade machines and did every single side quest and minor task. Yet I'm still missing 2 health points and 1 energy point so I just don't know if I'm just plain stupid and missed some stuff hiding in plain sight
The hedron bossfights are so boring I'm really hoping the final one against the big hedron is nothing like that. As cool as the unkown is you can kinda feel they're stretching the game out a bit here to meet to meet the 30 hour mark
>>749382270Yeah they really need to learn how to consolidate shit. Both games falloff around the 70% mark because they cant pace things well
>>749382270I take back 50% of what I said
How much Allen Wake is in this? I've still not played 2 because it triggers my autism having every Remedy title on Steam but AW2 so I've not had a chance to try it
>>749384196There's a tape that is probably a small teaser for Alan Wake 3, but it's utterly incomprehensible to everyone so no worries.
>said darling lying through the skin of his teeth
I'm right at the end, and was playing the end sequence but had to go out and couldn't finish it.Overall the game is OK, OK combat, OK story, OK characters. The bosses are pretty lame though. And worse nothing really cool with the paranormal entities like in the first game.I was hoping for something cooler and mind bending, this is not it. 7/10 and don't think the end will blow my mind enough to rethink the score.
Where the fuck is CIA? You guys told me CIA was going to be in this game
>>749384992Control 3 with Tim Breaker and Chester Bless, trust.
>>749384992What the fuck is the CIA going to do? Give guns to the Hiss?
wtf was his problem
>>749385687Results over ethics.
>>749385687Scientists, no sense of right or wrong.
>coulda had nice quantumkino live action series>they give you a cozy slowslop rpg pixelshit segment that goes on for too long insteadit would have been fine if the other part of the game wasnt spent on dylan lusting over a dog and letting his anger by decorating model houses with flowers and then scribbling his epical heckin kino moment
>>749386389It’s dead, Jim. Move on.
>>749384992Uh you don't get to bring friends
>>749386389It wasn't that long and the sketches are kino
This was a fun side mission
>don't die to the hedron >no not because we care or anything it would just be humiliating and a bad look for usThe board are such tsunderes. Especially with them pretending to not miss jessie
>black>half dog>probably elastic from all the meltingHow much pussy do you think Niel gets?
>walking around patterned areas trying to find any hidden collectibles or chests
>>749387828plenty
>>749387465It’s because they would die too.

TELL CASPER I WANT PIZZA
>>749392812lol no
>>749378350>I feel like a massive cave directly under one of the largest cities in the world is a bit too much of a stretch.There's a billion different pieces of fiction about massive caves under Manhattan. Marvel Comics is especially notorious on this.Even IRL we don't have all the tunnels and caverns under Manhattan mapped out.
This game really hit me the feels. Beat it a week ago and I'm still thinking about it
>>749394186Like the Jew tunnels?
These guys are pretty cool I hope nothing happens to them
>>749394508…
Did Roberts rape Dylan?
>>749394336That was in Brooklyn.But there's been a bizarre rash of people caught on CCTV going in an out of the sewers late at night. I just heard there was another siting today on the radio.
>>749395080Molestation
>>749394949My and the boys and gal are going in and we are all going to make it
What did the update do?
I feel like the series would be better if they shrunk the scope of things and made you a detective going out and finding AWEs and OoP.
cant find those two crates
>>749394949>>749395376I have bad news about the boys
Fred is cool.
>>749395625Might be underground
Is there a way to reduce the one shot meter arish puts on you?
>>749396454No. Don’t get hit.
>Remedy sidequest>harmless, simple concept>decent difficulty progression>gives up on properly designing them halfway into the game >NPC sends you to fetch another item across the map to pad out the time
>>749365330that's the fucking worst.... im going to buy onigashima later today and all discussions about it are dead 0 threads on /v/ about it today like come on now, i thought it was an amazing game or something and nobody talk about it anymore? bro if you don't buy games literally day 1 then you don't get shit to discuss with people, there might be some threads but often end up being garbage with just some surface level talks
>>749396454there is a charm that reduces status effects. cant remember where it is though, probably from one of the vendors
>>749397520I used it. Not sure if it helped because it said environmental so I might've been using a different one from the one you're thinking of. I got the job done though took me a while but I eventually realized that they wanted me to build up faulter so that I could chunk health when he's stunned so I switched to the fist finisher. Now that I've done that though I've noticed that I still have one empty ability slot and the command charge gets its own so I'm wondering if I missed a resonant or if the hedron boss is the one that has it
>>749396619Everyone kinda rushes to complete games these days so that they can hurry up and move to the next one before discussion ends so discussion for single player games kinda drop off a cliff after the first two weeks
i got a top fan badge for control resonant on facebook
>>749385485>the CIAOh, it's *THE* CIA now, huh?You're not that big of a guy
>>749367834Gooey.
>>749372280It's called the rhizome of the Oldest House. The rhizome is the main stem of a plant that runs underneath the soil surface. Make of that what you will.
>>749385687Scientists are always amoral.
>>7494009384U>>749381809Walk on city level. Don't just hop on the roobs. There are a ton of coffee shops, fitness gyms, laundromats, galleries, diners etc. that you can discover and most of them have resources in them.
>>749384746If there's hypothetically a Control 3 where Darling comes back I hope the first fucking thing that happens to him when he shows up is Dylan punching him right in the fucking teeth
We got a big fancy cake for Dylan's birthday and we are all going to eat it in front of him and he gets none.
Is it true maxing out all the zones give you free access to the gravity fall?
>>749402110>wow darling that's a bit weird maybe we should treat this kid a bit better he is the next director afterall>*goes back singing hiss chants while thinking how much better he is than northmoor*
>>749401623Jonas Salk worked seven years on a vaccine for polio and then gave it away because he wanted poor kids to be healthy too. Sure, Darling *wants* to believe that "everyone was doing it", that anyone in his position would have done the same thing, that the Bureau wants him on that wall and needs him on that wall- but that's bullshit. If we say *all* scientists are bad, we unintentionally give those who are the excuse of conformity for what they do.
>>749401623FBC scientists*
>>749396404or at the back of a garage, inside a coffe shop or ontop a building hidden behind some ventilation fan
>>749402110You got some incriminating transcripts there. Sure would be a pity if they were photocopied onto every desk in the bureau.
>>749403723scientists*
>>749401984Stop being so extravagant Dylan
>>749364063The enemies in the unknown area are so fucking strong what the hell is this
>>749406827Have you been upgrading all your aberrant trees?
Just beat the furnace monster and I've done a few side quests. I'm really hating the combat, it just feels like I'm just clicking to a countdown timer, does it get more interesting?I want more FBC, AWE, Resonants and objects of power but I don't think I'll bother if it's just this combat for 20 hours.
>>749403508Fair.
>>749406827skill issue
>>749406961Does upgrading the other weapon trees add to my total damage even if I don't use that weapon?>>749407576Watch your tone I'll rape you
>>749407739>Watch your tone I'll rape you SAAARYou're not raping anyone, jeet boi.
This game is nuts. Went from mid to GOTY once I unlocked gravity flip.
>>749407739>Does upgrading the other weapon trees add to my total damage even if I don't use that weapon?Yes
best capeshit since prototype 1
>>749410101Are we all using the hammer secondary or the drill? I am yet to see anyone use the whip.
Hey guys, don't you think the new director Fred is the best?He's such a great guy, he should become president.
NO FUCKING SHIT DYLANGET A CLUE
>>749412529He's giving his best, okay?
>>749410173I went scythe and whip for maximum aoe but it doesnt really add anything. I just killed the first 3 resonants and saved arish though so it might get better later. Currently I have most of the tree unlocked though
>>749364859>red balloon>cosmic horror>mike flanagan working on dark tower lead up series for amazon>carrie dropped around the same time, includes an obvious stand in for TMiB>can't do IT because of HBO licensing>remedy trying desperately to become the new naughty dog>why did he do itcome on anon, even you're not that dumb
>>749395080No...
Finished it. Overall I think I liked the first game much more because of all the interesting lore stuff and how much more localized the events were.Maybe has something to do with the style of writing in the sequel.
>>749407040You should probably drop it imo.
>>749412789You should be combining the two parts so they complement one another, also what cobo and perks you're using also matters.
I've been playing the original Control so I'll be able to follow what's going on in this sequel which looks very fun but man, it's hard to sit through jesse's narration sometimes. It seems exactly like the type of game that is parodied now.When you first encounter a levitating hiss she literally says "so they fly now"I honestly dont get why any of you are fanboys of this series
>>749414147>it's hard to sit through jesse's narration sometimesMy memory blocks almost all the flavour dialogue and leaves 'director spinning and powering up turbine, heh' stuff, so not much of a problem desu.Sequel not having enough cool objects of power is a crime though.
Should I jump into this or do I need to play the first? Its like 6 bucks on steam right now. This one looks aesthetically more my style
>>749414147>I honestly dont get why any of you are fanboys of this seriesTop notch atmosphere, memorable set-pieces, great level-design, an actual intriguing AND coherent realization of the SCP concept, you can also feel that artists with actual taste had a hand in making it. What's not to like? The quirky dialogue is also very overstated and never happens during any important sequences, so it's not like Marvel where it robs the seriousness of the actual dramatic/impactful scenes.
>>749414514They are different enough to make playing them both worthwhile and they kind of work as different sides of the same coin. The first is a lot more intriguing and mysterious, Resonant just throws it all in your face without caring whether you 'get' the concepts or not. It's a decent starting point either way but I'm not sure if you'll care about anyone other than the protag and his handler if you haven't played the first game.
>>749364063Just fucking stop, you don't know how to do the Board speak, you fuck it up every single fucking time. You look like a fucking retard constantly trying to do it, stop it.
>>749414514If you want some action + cool locations, then go straight for Resonant. There's a previously on video right in the menu that will introduce you.But I think the first one was an overall more interesting game, so 6$ seems like a good price for it.
>>749414456>>749414589I have been trying to ignore it and it's admittedly not that egregious most of the time but between the narration and every character looking like a lesbian or hipster doofus it's starting to get on my nerves. The only cool (human?) character so far has been the janitor. He embodies the actual aesthetic I think they're going for. I don't know how I feel about Darling yet. The Board is iconicI'm really not a poltard, I see what's cool about this game and I'm exploring and reading everything I come across, there's that side of the game and then it feels fused with a different game made by californians
>>749367097Just go back to eating crayons for fun retard.
>>749414836Shut up/stop typing you faggot/subhuman.
>>749414836< The Anon/Faggot appears to be Seething/Depressed >
>>749408207You lost, now get raped since assuming your opponent is brown is your only defense.
>>749414929See? You suck at it. Stop proving my point and kill yourself.>>749415032Stop defending retards, it's pathetic that you feel the need to defend yourself against an attack that wasn't directed at you. Take your meds freak.
>>749414903lmao you fatass I don't eat for fun, I need the wax nutrients to survive and if I could photosynthesis I would
>>749414836Youre genuinely brainrotted to the point of being a nonfunctioning human. Please take this as a sign to stop looking at screens for a few days because this is pathetic
>>749415173I'm not defending anyone, I just wanted to try it since I'm brand new to this seriesYou need a nap and a break from the computer
>>749415173< kys/sudoku >
>>749364063i like when dylan encounters a dead body sometimes he goes "naur...:(" such a cute emotionally repressed boy
>>749384992He actually might exist in the lore
>>749413782I really enjoyed this having not played the first and now I kind of regret not playing the first. Not sure I can be bothered to knowing pretty much everything that happens in 1 now.
>>749377167Damn segment is worth playing for. Did the absolute cinema shit out loud
How does the game look as good as it does (amazing in HDR) while also running as well as it does?
>>749416702European made.
>>749416702>>749416750how is the hdr in the original control?
>>749386389>it would have been fine if the other part of the game wasnt spent on dylan lusting over a dog and letting his anger by decorating model houses with flowers and then scribbling his epical heckin kino momentI'm a sensitive young man, and seeing Dylan attempting to fantasize about an ideal childhood through art IS kino. Also, the whole Underpass section surpasses like, 80% of QB.
I just unlocked Unknown and the area's max level is 15...? is this a joke?
>>749364063so it's this game good?
This thread now belongs to Fred.
>>749418482Yeah they did a really good job making Dylan likeable and a believable victim lacking a proper childhood.
>>749402615ORANGE PEEL
>>749419020*contains you*nothing personnel, Fra
is there a way to save the mold sister or it's kill only
huuuh should i keep installing relays?
>>749414147Jesse really is insufferable when you have to sit through her dialogue. Literally every other character is better than her.
>>749414890Darling is only a quirk chungus for the camera. A lot of other notes confirm he’s a dick head.
>>749419328Death only
just finished the game, very disappointed that all I did was mash X and dodge occasionally and didn't die to any of the bossesalso they didn't address a single of the mysteries from the first game, like what happened to darling, and what ahti/the board isthe only thing they really covered was the "dylan and jessie are the same person" thing, but they didn't even fully explain that, and they didn't do anything meaningful with it either
>>749419669post-game video shows him being an alchoholic to cope with how poorly he treated dylan and how he only acted terrible to him because he felt that was what was necessary for the bureau's survival
>>749420186he’s also using Dylan as an emotional punching bag because his dad was terrible to him too
>>749420126Alan Wake 2 already confirmed that Darling was turned into a Resonant Entity after prolonged contact with the Hedron. He’s currently in the Dark Place with Zane, and working with him to get out.
>fit
>>749420126I don't really think that Ahti or Board explanation is that required.But lack of overall objects of power and stories connected to them made the game feel incomplete
bros......
>>749421309Give it a sniff.
>>749420186Guilt alone does not make him a good person. Everyone has a conscience. To be a good person he has to actually listen to that conscience and try to help the person he victimized, not sit around feeling sorry for himself. Tons of abusers play at guilt, promise to change, etc., and then hit people the instant they get angry again.
>>749420126Ahti is literally Ahti, the Finnish Water God.
>>749364859Narrator: they did not have fun.
>>749418482It also offsets the common fan complaint that Dylan is too obedient to the FBC. With the drawings, he goes off a lot to do what he wants. It's just that what he wants isn't the typical isekai fantasy of getting bloody revenge on everyone.
>>749364859>Tortures a 10 year old boy for 17 years.OH NO HE SNAPPED HOW IS THIS HAPPENING?
>>749365330>>749396619You dumbasses should have watched streamers like the rest of us.I refuse to touch or play videogames.
>>749395376>>749395926What about the gal at least?
Does Jesse know that her brother uses the stake she stabbed him with a weapon?
>>749423024She knows and counts on it, she just didn't expect that Dylan would stay with the FBC.
>>749423716Not like he had much of a choice.
>>749423716>she just didn't expect that Dylan would stay with the FBC>why would a young man with stunted developement want to stay and act as the heroShe clearly does not understand young men.
>>749424661If you're older than someone you meet when they're really young, they're always going to seem that age to you no matter how many years pass.
>>749424661Where was he supposed to go? It’s not like he could just get up and leave.
>>749423024Honestly Jesse's plan is really piss poor and it's not even clear why she's so secretive about it.Like I get why she hid the Aberrant from the FBC, because I wouldn’t want these incompetent fucks messing around with creating anomalies, but why hide where she was going and how? It’s just making their job more difficult. And her whole plan concerning Dylan amounted to "I hope once I stab him with this he'll just go and leave his life (by the way if I fail the universe ends)
>>749425921She jobbed incredibly hard too. If Dylan didn’t show up to help her she would’ve been fucked.
>>749425691He could've chose to try and run but he that never happened. The moment he heard a woman calling for help over the radio he went in. He wants to be the hero. He wants to save people. Dylan despite everything the FBC did to him is a good person at heart.
>>749426297But he couldn’t have. Even if he tried, there was no escaping Manhattan by the time he woke up.
>>749425921>>749426296You missed the part where she was being affected by what was happening. You also seem to forget that every time she went in a fault that warped her or were you not listening to her dialogue? That's why she did not want Dylan to follow her, because she thought that what happened to her would happened to him as well. She was clearly wrong but that's beside the point.
>>749426398But he did not even try. The moment he heard the damsel in distress he rushed to save her. His desire to help is clearly stronger than his desire to escape the FBC.
>>749426474Still a jobber.
>>7494167021 guy at remedy cared about hdr implementationIts not doing super advanced graphics stuff is it, they have 1 time of day, faces look blobby and are distinctly subpar on lipsyncThey dont use unreal 5 so lumen or nanite or megalights. They managed to improve the streaming system so the game has a lot of objects in memory as you move through the city thats dynamically loaded in. They didnt smear visuals with random anti-soul gas most of the time. The visual presentation being impressive relies on heavy use of saturated one tone colors and scifi yet grounded equipment littered around.
>>749426398I don't think Jesse knew about the rift around Manhattan.Besides, the FBC's control over Manhattan isn't that good. They don't have the numbers to kill Dylan or even find him if he just hides out in an abandoned apartment somewhere.
>>749426576I’m saying hypothetically if he tried. Please try to follow along. Jesse’s plan was bad because by the time Dylan woke up, it was already impossible for him to escape.
>>749426982Arish would’ve burned through 10 teams just to hunt down Dylan.
>>749410173I used both the hammer and the whip and only just recently unlocked the drill. The whip is nice with how many flying enemies there can be at times. If a fight has a bunch of heavies though and I die then I usually switch to hammer
>>749412529Dylan has zero social skills or situational awareness, so don't be too hard on him.
>>749416702In house engine that they've been using for years
The hannah quest was another cut content thing?They made her autistic, and her sister wanted to move out because she didnt want to deal with it anymore.But it just ends with her weird behavior being mold eating, it could've been played for shes acting weird because autism.And it ends in a shart where you kill her like any other corrupted npc. whatWhy did this game has no much unfinished stuff. You cant even switch weapons on the fly.
>>749419619Yeah nothing weird could ever happen don't worry about it
>>749426296>>749426917It's not jobbing if you're facing a universe-destroying entity. And note that she DID almost close all the Faults and nearly cut the Patterning off at the pass - it just managed to close the distance before she and Dykan could seal the last one and by that point it was too close to stop.
>>749427306If the Resonants didn't kill them first.
>>749420126You don't address stuff like ahti and the board it ruins the mystery and their appeal
There is WAY too much of the skill tree based around summonshit.
>>749421309God that looks good
>>749427515The heavies are easy if you're using the the short swords + the lift combo + ignite or mold sneks and the whip goes for AoE and flying crap.
>>749422870She's in a better place
>>749427990It's less than half the skill tree. I started with the rock shied as my first ability so it was some time untill i got to my first summons.
>>749427990skill tree should probably hide stuff the protagonist has no information about in the game world., and it opens up progressively as you gain abilities
>>749427894More excuses for a jobber.
Its kinda weird that they give you command charge so late into the game when you have almost no use for it except newgame+ maybe? (I'm assuming you keep all your upgrades and abilities when you start that) and unfinished side misison. The first game gave that ability mid game where it made a lot more sense and was actually useful until you got flight
>>749428363It being a NG+ ability wouldn't have been a problem if half the skill tree wasn't about it
>>749428363You use them on the spheres, and become effectively invincible. Otherwise you use them on the big enemies like the Ruiners or Busses, or the final boss.
>>749427930You can keep the mystery without having things entirely unexplained. The mark of a good writer is how well they can walk that line, but they basically don't explain anything in the game, which makes it feel like the writers themselves don't actually know anything and are hacks.
>>749421578If you are in charge of a task that the future of humanity literally depends upon, you have to capable of doing some not so great things to improve your chances at success. Sacrificing one child for the sake of humanity is worth it.
Loved the audiologs about the power stations and how Sandy sort of became someone else after being put together. It's nothing huge or with important lore implications but always liked this kind of story. The Night Springs show in the first Alan Wake had a few with the same vibe, so cool.
>>749429187That's great Darling really great but what does Alan think about this?
>>749429508forgot pic

>>749428290They should also hide references to Hedrons in your inventory before the big moment.
>>749428629>You use them on the spheres, and become effectively invincibleLoved doing that shit in the first Control>You work for me now
>>749428629Yeah I know, I guess I should've said there's nowhere to use it if you don't plan on typing up loose ends or new game+ after you do the final boss. Like if you just decide to shelve the game after that its a practically useless ability
>>749429437I like that its never truly clear if its the transportation that changed her or if the mold was already effecting her and just started to take control coincidentally at that moment
>>749428629You can also just save the charges and get a damage boost for your abilities with the right skill.
>>749430429Conversely games that unlock new mechanics for NG+ are super cool.
>>749430883All bosses have shields now. Take it or leave it.
>>749429187What exactly was the thought process that led him to believe only someone who was an abused parautilitarian slave, unlike most previous Directors, could lead the Bureau?And why was he so afraid of having to explain that process to an ethics board?
>>749430994Because the ethics board would've rightfully called him out. Laing should've reported even if it would've gotten him fired and no one would've believed him over fbc love child darling
Assuming aside from the supernatural stuff control still follows events from our universe and timeline doge probably cut fbc's funding while they were in lockdown and nobody knows about it
>>749431112He got shot in the back of the head like Yeller for giving Dylan ice cream.
>almost none AW stuff>less than five proper OOP quests>abilities locked behind respecGAY/NONHETERO
>>749431112Absolutely. When a fire has engulfed half your house, it's time to stop throwing a bucket of water on it and call the fire department.Even if the FBC murdered him in retaliation, that would've been a better death than the drug massacre that awaited his coworkers.
>>749431557OOPs are old-style. We're doing magic dogs now.
>>749431557You can’t even tell the difference between an OoP and an Altered Item.
>>749431158yeah so I know the fun of these settings is the mundane meeting the otherwordly, but I'm pretty sure regardless of whatever The Oldest House and The Board actually are is that they're above fucking government expense reportsit's probably not even listed on the government budget anywhere under any codename and if it is and you query what it is (and are actually briefed on it), you immediately forget any specifics and are just left with a generally positive but uninterested opinion about it
>>749431557>almost none AW stuffBlessing in disguise. The AW stuff in Control was really cool but the Control stuff in AW2 was overbearing and brought that game down. This game toned down the MCU crap, thankfully.>less than five proper OOP questsI just wish there were more pull switches that brought you to different places and the Oceanview Motel and Casino, those were the coolest shit in the first game.>abilities locked behind respecThis is good unless I'm misunderstanding.
THEY LIFT NOW?
>>749414147>so I'll be able to follow what's going on in this sequellmao
>>749432467>the Control stuff in AW2 was overbearing and brought that game downI kinda get what you mean, but Lake House was so kino that it doesn't really matter.
>>749432079That you, Langston?
>>749432436Irc from the notes in the first game the government is aware of them and they're constantly complaining about budget constraints but they also have a bunch of ways of alleviating budget crunch so that their spending doesn't really standout whenever any federal auditing occurs so they're just there existing enough for the government to be aware of their existence but not standing out enough for anybody to really look into them and what they're currently doing constantly. I think the nsc got created because of those same budget problems and alleviating said spending. Darling also mentions in oen of his p6 videos or notes that the director still has to meet with government representatives and the president and that he's concerned about how much the government cares that their not involved in the director selection process anymore since the board who the government don't even know about
>>749433465And now Northmoor is about to break out.
you know the psychological torture is whatever, maybe Darling really thought it was the right way to get Dylan to his full potential, what with his daddy issues and allthis thought? yeah that's irredeemable
>>749436437>Northmoor and Former links up>Either create the FBC equivalent of Global Occult Coalition or of the Chaos Insurgency
>>749437237I think the Blessed Organization is already the Chaos Insurgency.
>>749437330The Blessed is just a stand-in for the countless anomalous organizations in the SCP universe who create anomalies.
>no special outfit for 100%ing the gamelame
>>749436548Yep, that's what made me hate him 100%.
>>749436437I'm sure Northmoor will be reasonable and will not crash-out the moment he breaks free.
>>749364063>Think I beat the game>It's now a top down turn based RPG.I wasn't expecting that.
>>749439084lol
Doesn't northmoor think of himself as a god?
>>749414147Jesse and Dylan are the WORST characters in the entire remedyverse, the aboslute worst part of Control is acting like the player should give a single fuck about either of them.Darling, Trench, the Board, fucking Alan, are all far more integral characters than either one of these faggots. Alan Wake 2 was such fucking kino that im genuinely afraid they wont be able to keep that level of quality into AW3Control has amazing worldbuilding with terrible characterization. Alan Wake has 10/10 characterization with very little worldbuilding in contrast to the grand mystery. Its the biggest issue with the series going forward.
>>749441757Jesse was kinda whatever but Dylan is a fucking kino character and you're genuinely illiterate if you can't see it. Like yeah, you can get mad at the player character being pushed around or whatever, but as a character Dylan is one of the best we've had.
>>749441757Just for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jHIYqlivLQThis is the level of acting Jesse was expected to perform in Resonant. All the best characters in Control are dead or quirky alien concepts. Jesse fucking sucks. Dylan fucking sucked in 1, and only stopped sucking slightly less in Resonant. Dylans entire character in Control was >Dylans not here right now...:))))) im so creepy and elusive.....I...I mean.....WE....Every main character besides Alan Wake is fucking garbage
>>749441954>Dylan is one of the best we've had.compared to what? Max Payne and Wake? The only two good protagonists in the entire series? You act like Remedy hasnt only had a handful of IPs that they barely own.Dylan is a faggot that let every FBC member walk over him for half the fucking game. You dont even get an option to tell them to go fuck themselves until the story deems it fit. Dylan shouldve been telling these faggots to fuck off within the first 10 minutes. Instead he's going "what can I do to help :( its all my fault im so sorry :("
>>749442191yeah like I said you're illiterate
>>749442191Sounds like your mad Dylan isn't a self insert
>>749442249>>749442295>literally a minute apart[[[Patterning]]]Youre not even being subtle
>>749441502He thought of himself as Superman, which he was with all the superpowers he got.
>>749442394
>>749442564Are you genuinely interested in any sort of converstaion or would you like to continue being a performative faggot?
>>749442191Everyone, including Dylan himself, thinks he may have been responsible for a lot of people getting killed, he would seem like a psycho if he just told everyone to fuck off and that they didn't matter, you are so obsessed with getting cucked you can't even play through a storyline where you aren't an arrogant badass, like a 13 year old.
>>749442748Holy shit youre literally a Remedy marketer.Hey retard. When literally everyone in plot is pretending like the groomed superman is actually a piece of shit, it doesnt take that much mental fortitude to realize the writers are trying to make you think the most normal person in the plot is a fucking piece of shit. Its not quirky. You're not a good writer.>OMG I CANT BELIEVE WE CAPTURED YOU AND PUT YOU INTO A CONTAINTMENT CELL YOU PIECE OF SHIT YOURE LITERALLY HITLER>"Actually Im not">HRRRRRRRGGGG BUT THE WRITING DEMANDS ME TO PRETEND LIKE YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!>woww youre actually a completely normal person even though youve been in containment since 2002? wowwwwww we're like...bad people??? wow this is totally character development that we couldnt handle 7 years ago...just wait 7 more years bro!
>>749443071They act like they can't trust him because they don't know if he is responsible for hundreds of deaths and if he was in control then when he controlled them or if he is now and will do it again, how does understanding that basic aspect of the story make me a Remedy marketer now? Of course they are scared of the "groomed superman" whom they don't know if he will go out of control and kill all of them.
>>749443335>They act like they can't trust him because they don't know if he is responsible for hundreds of deathsExpect if you thought about this with a single fucking sliver of thought that you would realize the FBC is taking advantage of him every fucking turn. Its not deep. The story acts like its fucking deep>literally every other FBC dialogue is "le pensions...LE SEVERANCE?!?!?...DUDE how were we supposed to KNOW!?!?!">ermm. I guesss I just le hacked into the FBC archives....dylan...I had NO idea...ghe whizzz.....if only the FBC diddnt purposefully allow me into these classified files for this very specific story OH MY GOD...THE GOVERNMENT....TAKES ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE?!??!? OH MY FUCKING GOD HOLY SHIT! We need another 7+ year long dev cycle to demostrate this very fucking simple concept because retard faggots like you cant comprehend it!
>>749443750The FBC using Dylan to fight the Hiss or being beauracratic with it's employees or whatever the fuck you are talking about has nothing to do with the fact that they don't know if Dylan is in control or if the Hiss still has control of him and his super powers and they are scared of him because he killed almost 600 people before they locked him up, he killed all of their co workers and they don't know if it's going to happen again.
>>749443071>>749443750wtf is this incoherent schizoid babble
So that's why Darling was with someone like Underhill...
>forced 2d segment while i was back to peacefully sidecontenting after severing da last hedron linkpretentious piece of shit fuck u game die die
Finished it today. Probably my GOTY so far. I'd put it a little behind AW2 but right up next to the original Control so pretty close.
>>749444727I cant believe anyone would think that amount of repetitive combat would quality as goty
>>749444779Name 20 games from this year that don't have "repetitive combat"
