Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

The dancing for Egghead can kill you if your health is low enough/your physical stats are 1-2.

I died from sitting on a slightly uncomfortable chair that one time.

[–] False@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It was very uncomfortable.

Apparently that chair is a common soft lock people hit.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The "union" leader is what makes me uncomfortable.

More than his super racist guard? I felt like there was no way to handle this situation without disappointing Kim.. which was not out of the ordinary in my playthrough but still.. :(

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I think if you beat him in a fist fight, Kim is low-key impressed because he hates racist pricks. That's one of the few things I have not managed to actually do yet, tho.

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Yes, I successfully fought him as well. It held to think about fascism, be strong, and drunk.

Nah, Measurehead is adorable. A native Revacholian playing ur-racist out of what he's learnt on the radio while dating a “Kojka” he can't have sex with because his own racism prevents him from getting an erection in her presence.

Evrart (and Edgar, though we never meet him) Claire are downright terrifying.

Extremely intelligent, constantly ten steps ahead and in control (except for the tribunal, the entroponetic phenomena underlying the events of the game, the deserter, and, possibly, the Detective) even over the Wild Pines woman, extremely charismatic despite their appearance, and yet absolutely malicious and self centered.

They're like sharks, perfect, cold, inhumane, apex predators evolved to completely dominate their territory.

Measurehead can never really hurt you. Evrart Claire can kill you by making you sit on a chair, and he's fully aware of it.

As someone who has never played the game before, I really can't tell if you're making all of this up. It sounds fascinating.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 24 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

It's real. You can die at the beginning of the game attempting to grab your tie. You're playing as a 40 something burnout cop who has recently done so much alcohol and drugs that you have complete and total amnesia and your heart can explode at any moment. At one point even sitting in a chair could kill you. lol

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I mean, only because you picked some build that gave you 1 HP.

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

You can die due to having too low morale, too.

Or killing yourself as an intimidation tactic during an interrogation, regardless of your stats.

Practically all versions of the detective are susceptible to self-inflicted demise in one shape or another.

one of the three presets do!

[–] CarnivorousCouch@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sure, but your first time through it's easy to not understand the mechanics.

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's really worth playing. The voice acting is stellar, and it really is the best "role-playing" game, in the sense that you are fully immersed in role-playing a character. The mental gameplay mechanics are GOAT, and one-of-a-kind.

[–] xiwi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

For me it is how real every character in the game feels, they're all weird and ridiculous but feel like real people 100%
