"""Gameplay""" so easy a blind toddler could finish it with their feet. A story set up that takes hours to even become remotely interesting. An ending that completely undermines everything leading up to it with the shittiest kind of cliffhanger possible. While not overtly shoved in your face, inclusion of two gay characters just to check off boxes on a list and try to get the tumblr crowd. It doesnt have an autistic undertale following but you can clearly tell the creators wanted that same attention. The ending made me glad that I pirated it.

Different guy here. Antifa is kind of incredible in that so many on the left appear terrified that the right is often on the verge of taking to the streets and enforcing their views with physical violence or the threat thereof.

I thought it was going to be a game about typical early adult worries about not having a place in life, and struggling to find themselves.

Instead most of that got thrown out the window for a really out of place "Cthulu did it" ending that washes all the problems away.

It feels like if Undertale was nihilistic and not particularly fun in comparison, with an ending where no one really likes one another that much.

Could have been a lot better. Kind of feels like there was internal meddling.

>>
>>377008396

This was so obviously made by a team of 4-6 freshly graduated/dropped out college students it's funny. The way you can tell the writing and actual content of the game was the last thing they worked on, they obviously made all the assets and engine first according only to a really vague idea of what the story was going to be, then once they had everything ready they brainstormed some wishy washy directionless story around what they had in order to give the game actual content. Story felt like an afterthought where they were trying to fill six hours because that's what a video game is. I feel like I could find these assets back in their school projects, it just really feels like they were working on all this before they even decided they wanted to make a game.

It's a great looking game but it's really really infantile in its writing, theme, and direction. The game is choppy and schizophrenic as fuck and can hardly articulate itself. If I was the artist for this game I would be extremely proud of myself but be low-key disappointed in the rest of my team. Do the creators agree with the way the characters in this game think? The characters act like they've been fucked with and betrayed and have a duty to destroy whatever they want, but they're really just bored young adults who didn't once think in their life that they had a responsibility to develop a lifestyle of their own. It's just bored adults pretending boredom is oppression. So punk. I remember this aesthetic, coming out of school with no direction in life.

Nothing wrong with the creators, they did a good job, but they're kids, right? They didn't have real control or planning throughout, which is to be expected. The whole game comes off as awful self-hating and mean though, to no real effect.

>GOTY
Fuck no, Rain World has that from me so far.

Also, as much as I really liked NITW's aesthetic, music, mystery, unique "gamey" approaches to daily actions, and conflicts the characters had, I'm almost equally-repelled by their ditzy half-sentenced characterizations, lack of gameplay (even that LC demo had more), empty resolution leaving Mae as a NEET, and Benson's tacked-on propaganda (also resulting in the 'moral' characters having short-sighted views).

Would've been redeemable had each day also allowed May to go explore the forests for whatever plot-related reason, involving more use of the platforming system and LC's snowball (now rock) throwing to solve puzzles and navigate places. Also if during the dreams you actually fought some "creatures", and if there were a couple more games on Mae's laptop besides Demontower (maybe like a Kirby-knockoff, a 2D offline Overwatch-parody, and a zombie-survival using tropes from FPS's, Fallout and old-Resident Evil).

Holowka should've just handled this game himself, it might've turned out right if he did.

>>
>>377024582

Not sure why, I didn't say the game wasn't good because it wasn't serious enough, but there are plenty of games with meaningful combined sorry and gameplay that do more than repeatedly show people react to boredom with anger. Almost any game people consider good, really.

That's solved by fighting a literal cult with your friends? Yeah, it's not a metaphorical ending. It actually happened.

The game should have been about her actually dealing with her problems, not being chased by a cult into a god pit where she passes out and wakes up fixed after a short internal monologue.

It had a weak second half.
>>
>>377025217
Prey I'll give you, that was good (albeit being due to VERY-closely following SS/Bioshock), but Automata was great action moments between too much empty space, and BotW starts out nice but becomes extremely monotonous and overrated (although still better than unmodded-Skyrim).

Not to say NITW is any better, though.

eeh, the first season of TWD was very good, and the wolf among us was nice. But I don't see them being more serious games than nitw.

the only one I agree with is red dead. It's grounded and tackles a very serious theme. But I honestly can't say that the ones you mentioned are somehow more serious than this friend.
>>
>>377026038
>Yeah, it's not a metaphorical ending. It actually happened.
LEL
you really have a simple mindset dude.
First off, they didn't "fight" anyone. They escaped from the mine. That's all they've done. They did however fight them verbally and intellectually.
and the whole this is such and obvious metaphor it's cringy that someone didn't see it. You get out to the surfice with new views on life, they get burried under ground with their backwards thinking. Mae refuses to believe she's possessed and determent to fail and takes responsibility for her actions.

It's not a perfect ending by any means, but as far as game endings go, it's pretty okay.
>>
>>377026069
How can you say this game is serious at all when it reads like a shitty chatroom? I've seen discussions on this board more mature than NITW.

>>377026038

I agree. The game basically addressed the type of craziness I assume the developers felt in leaving school, but offered absolutely no solution and just meandered off at the end with the main characters learning nothing except the ability to say 'oh everything really is shit'. Not much of an ending.

>ugh, I think I get those people though. They like, want tings to be the way they were, but, they're like, not, and... ugh, whatever. I lost it. It's just, everything's like so crappy.

Great sendoff, main character. For all the soapboxing at the end of this game you think they'd bother to try and articulate their point.
>>
>>377026714

>>377026069

Wow dude you really are having your own conversation. I never mentioned seriousness until you did. Look I know the game delves into some real points about adulthood and growing up, but all it does as a whole is mire itself in depression, then show people accept depression. It's expressive for sure, and I probably would have gotten more out of it when I was going through similar stuff after school, but having already been through it the game offers no advice to the people who are looking for it and basically appeals to a persecution complex, at best we can say these characters are intentionally bad examples of how to get out of that rut. I suppose if you really had that bad of an attitude to agree with the main character you might really learn something, but to me its a game about a bunch of under-educated mutual enablers who are much more comfortable being manipulative fuck ups than they realize, and the game lacks any particular insight into the situation because the writers stick to this really infantile level of slang where the characters are so dumb they can hardly speak.

It's 'serious' in that it seriously depicts a bunch of seriously terrible people telling themselves delusional stories about how they're actually the best people and all the people trying to help them are secretly the worst people in the world.

>>
>>377027137

Their 'backwards thinking' was a desire to sacrifice people to the sadness of their small town, and Mae's 'forward thinking' is being okay with moving forward and letting that die. Its a very minimal metaphor forgetting out of a rut. It's not much.
>>
I liked the game.

>>377008396
It really speaks what this generation is like when a game that forgets what its about halfway through because its too concerned about its mentally ill and gay characters every day lives is being unironically shillef as a goty contender

>>
>>377028494

Oh yeah the game certainly has validity to plenty of people, it's certainly got a specific audience. My only real problem is that the game basically forgives, enables and glorifies this behavior in a way that is equally as likely to encourage this shit lifestyle as it is to motivate moving on from it. As a whole I get the vibe that the writers think this disgusting way of life is cool as shit, and that its badass and self-exploratory to rob graves, insult your mother, and carry a crossbow to shoot anyone who reminds you of your depression with. Plus the entire ending after the mines is the main characters tacitly justifying manslaughter as a growing experience, with no real appeal or passion that makes me believe they've changed in any way.

The only real change is that a meme taco joint opened up and Mae is meme autistic for tacos so haha that's a job she can do.

The cure for depression is meaningful work, by the way.
>>
>>377029031
I'm literally 19.
>>
>>377029031

No, he's right, the game tells this very normal story about finding yourself in the face of depression, but the narrative falls apart because the whole thing is noncommittal punk episodes that end with the characters regretting and having a panic attack each time.
>>
>>377008609

>>377029208
Well I don't agree with those views about the game and it's ending man. If it was more strict and direct about condemning their lives it would seem as some patronizing bullcrap. And it's not like the chracaters are doing something wrong, their living their lives. Not everyone end up being a doctor. And still, the games has a nice closure where Mae actually refuses to believe "hey that's life man, what can you do abut it" and takes responsibility. She didn't go "yeah cult guys, you're right, I'm not to blame for my faults, it's some just how things go here". So yeah, she's not actually a "dude weed lamo" type of person, she's probably gonna change her ways.
that's at least what I got out of it.

>>
>>377030192

No, in the first three quarters of the game they should have connected the cult metaphor to the main characters actual actions instead of hinting at it on the fringe and then haphazardly associating the two in the end. The final act of this story is of a different narrative style than the rest of the game, and because of that the metaphor is rushed and underexplored.

Yeah. The game does leave us with a fair hope Mae will move on to be a more responsible person. I wasn't saying they are bad people for not having lucrative or generous careers, of course not, or even saying they need to be 'good' people. I'm just saying that I don't trust people who haven't grown out of this not to play the game and say 'wow breaking shit and hating the stupid statue is smart soul-searching'.

The games not bad, I just hate the writing, pacing, direction, and these punk-ass kids. But then again I am trying to get away from that stuff.

If your dialogue is garbage then you have nothing else left because this shit has no gameplay.

>>377031292

It's just that it's finale had to build itself up and take itself down in the 45 minutes it's given, so the climax of the story takes more time to explain the situation than it does carrying out the main character's actions and beliefs. It's a big plot dump, so a disproportionate part of it is filling you in, at a time in the story when more things should be happening. They just should have talked more about the cult before and related it to the characters' struggles sometime besides at the end and the three moments were teased that there might be a cult.

I liked it a bunch. Mae and Bea were really entertaining characters, the music was 10/10. Biggest crime is that it was too short.

Shame one of the developers is a genuine retard, though.

But the game doesn't deserve GOTY or anything. It's just a fun 7-8 hour visual novel with some minor gameplay elements and a lot of personality.

Theyre only good to the pandering audience, which is why the only person to recommend this game to me in real life is a tumblr bright pink hair dyed fat girl with self diagnosed bpd and thrives off their depression.

She fucking loves it because the characters are replacements for friends that validate her parasitic existence. In reality she could not be further from someone id want to spend more than an hour with at a time, just like the characters in this game make me feel the same.

They can be good characters, but only to those types of people. Not only are their very few of them in reality, they only appeal to themselves.
>>
>>377033271
No, at the worst you'd have your gun confiscated. Punching someone without provocation could be viewed as aggravated assault. That gives you legal grounds to defend yourself by any means necessary, including the use of a firearm. Doubly so if they use a lethal weapon, such as a brick, or a bike-lock.

There aren't many situations where you're going to slug someone or get slugged and leave it at that.

Punching results in a fight. Fighting results in adrenaline, panic, and fear. Any fight that breaks out on the street has a very, very good chance of becoming lethal, god knows we've all seen the thousands of liveleak videos of one asshole killing another in a scuffle.

If you attack someone, you should expect for the other person to fear for their life and defend themselves accordingly.

A good way to avoid this is not attacking people, but that seems to be a difficult concept for Antifa where they feel like words justify violence.

Court would blow over 100% in your favor if you defended yourself with a firearm against somebody who assaulted you on the street, regardless of what they may have said that """"Justifies it"""".

Don't hit people. Seriously. Fucking stop it. The only time violence is ever justified is in retaliation to actual, real, physical violence.

In most states, the police will do a "no bill."
I.E. You will not be charged. You will not be detained. You will be entirely free to go.

There is no reason to punch someone unless it's in self defense. If you do, you are 100% in the wrong, legally and morally, and the victim is 100% blameless for defending themselves.

TL;DR

One of the devs of NITW is part of Antifa and wrote a character in-game as such.

Antifa stands for "Anti-facism", and they have gained notoriety for operating under the pretense that words are reason for violence, and that assaulting people who say or believe things you disagree with is entirely justified.

>Ah, okay. Thanks for clearing that up.
Just remember that in your state, the conditions for self defense may vary. As listed above, there may be a duty to retreat, there may not.

Some states have no duty to retreat but whether or not you had the opportunity to retreat may effect whether your response to an "interference" will be "considered reasonable."

The greater the interference, the greater the right you have to fend it off.

The right starts at an unwanted touch which is (very little) right to respond.

If someone assaults you, which is illegal in and of itself, then your right to defend yourself. This is just an excerpt from my state, and some states have a "stand your ground" law which have no duty to retreat _at all_ and if you hurt someone, they don't have to retreat, call the police, or anything. They can defend themselves there and then.

He specifically shot himself in the foot with that video where he specifically stated you don't have to run away first.

"rednecks" here are telling you that you can shoot people who attack you.
And they can. And every time they prove you wrong, you stop arguing and then slink off, and then you try to sleaze in a reply that you think no one will see so you can argue uncontested.

Yes.
Because it depends on the force used.
If it's assault, then yes, deadly force is reasonable.

If they use just a light tap or touch, deadly force is unreasonable.

Fuck, I live in a state that's still mostly blue, in a city that won't let you own guns unless you're connected - but you're still allowed to use deadly force if someone attacks you or tries to rob you.

You have no reason to think they're not going to try and kill you, especially if they have a weapon, unless they're actively retreating.

Not really sure how you "enact" Marxism. Marxism is a descriptive theory, not so much a prescriptive one. It analyzes problems and interactions within capitalism but doesn't really try to offer any concrete solutions. There's tons of disagreement on how to go about that on the left.

But no one in it talks or acts like a human, they act like characters from a bad indie movie

The dialogue is especially awful in this game, if it isn't look how obnoxiously quirky I am it is exposition. And it really is everyone they have do that, even if it doesn't fit the mood or character. They couldn't even be bothered to come up with variations of ugh and effin.
>>
>>377008396
Out of literally every game /v/ has ever called a tumblr game, this on deserves it the most. The scenery and the art style (besides the characters) is beautiful, but the writing is absolutely abysmal, to the point where I question the writer's ability to speak English. The story sucks as well, the pacing is terrible.

If the game had a decent story and wasn't written for the sole intent of pandering to tumblr, I'd probably love it. I'd even excuse the characters being furry if they weren't as cookie-cutter.

Depends on who you ask. There are groups on the left that wouldn't even bother with elected officials, at least not in the capacity that people traditionally think of them.

Most socialists support these but these don't automatically make something marxist or socialist. A socialist system entails more than than just a couple of safety nets.

I liked it but the ending seemed crammed together and missing a few scenes. They set themselves up to resolve a lot of problems with the characters but you never actually see any of them

I don't get the complaints personally, because I know plenty of people who act like this. Not to mention the four main characters all act very differently, with only Bea and Mae being the ones who UGG, which makes sense given one of them is depressed, overworked, and generally exhausted, well the other is a socially awkward woman child with a mental illness. Don't get me wrong, sometimes the dialogue was a bit too hipster, but overall it flows pretty standard for rural wannabenotrural 20 year olds. If Gregg's name was William I would swear they based his character entirely on my buddy of the same name.
>>
>>377046052
I'm guessing the mods agreed "furry" should be limited to furry-only shit like porn or fursona-crap, not vidya with animal-people aimed at everybody.

No you don't, you know some hipster drop outs. This is like when people go they know people just like the guys in the big bang theory. They do not talk like real people, they talk like idealized versions where they always have something silly to say and are made to fit the moment.

> Not to mention the four main characters all act very differently

Literal homeless people have material conditions, what are you even saying here? Material conditions are just the physical aspect s of the environment that influence how people live. Having to eat food is a material condition. In Marxism there's a bit more to it than that but that's pretty much what it is at it's most basic level.

IIRC the creator was inspired by an image of people throwing/offering some guys into a big pit in the woods. Presumably he used that image to pen the general story premise before beginning to work on the animation/hire someone with actual talent to work on the animation.
>>
>>377047843
The tl;dr. The MC is a piece of shit that hates the world because it hates him. It hates him because he's a piece of shit so naturally things go wrong.
At the end he resolves to stop being a piece of shit.

LiS completely misses the entire premise of this by making Max's flaw being nice and naive, while still making bad things happen to her. While throwing out 3-12 major Catcher in the Rye references per episode.

NitW gives you Mae, a piece of shit that hates the world and the world hates her. And doesn't reference Catcher in the Rye at all. Clearly based on it, mind you.

That's not really development, that's just picking certain choices to get a new option later.
Development revolves around introducing new character attributes, overcoming old flaws, gaining new ones. Showing that a character has changed, for the better or worse.

Trust isn't really character development unless the character is shown to be extremely averse to trust due to past trauma or some such. Betrayal etc.
like I said, LiS has some character development, but it's minimal at best. By the end of the game everyone is still for the most part exactly the same as at the beginning.
Max is the worst about this. Her character begins and ends as a paradigm of sainthood.

Did NITW have any character development, though?

But they werent designed to be funny? Only one that approaches humor is the dad joke, of which the humor is derived from how unfunny it is. And there's more?
I'm really wracking my brain here but I cannot think of any more taco talk.

Is this the new hipster game of choice? Does this mean /v/ is going to go back to liking Undertale?

A lot of that problem stems from the game starting as a slice of life game about Mae making small moral choices and preparing to admit to herself that she's not ready to be an adult, and finding out what that actually means. Then it spins wildly out of control and just turns into a fairly standard video game, and none of your choices matter beyond getting achievements.

Good idea, bad execution.

Wow, how revolutionary.

Nah it still falls flat. The game has nothing interesting to say by adding that, it already well established the mundane and bad attempt at realism. The repetition just makes that worse especially cause different types of characters make the "joke"

How can this be goty when we got no mans sky this year?

I watched a bit of it. It's basically a visual novel with walking and the rare shitty minigame. There are japanese VNs with more player interaction than this. Dialogue felt kind of tryhard at times and had the reek of tumblr culture.

Yes.
Bea get the most, Gregg gets a fair bit too, Mae develops the least but the game ends with her deciding to try and better herself.
Angus not so much, but his role was minor. Mae starts as a train wreck of a person, and ends as one, but she ends a bit more confident and hopeful too. She has severe trust issues, refusing to tell anyone about her problem, even getting aggressive towards her own mother for trying to ask what's really wrong. She's also overly protective of her friends which you see at the party with Bea where she rags on the hipster. The game ends with her feeling like she learned nothing from all her ordeals, but the fact she's finally opened up and is going to tell her parents about everything gives a bit of hope she will get better.
Bea is overly defensive and angry because her life got fucked. She hates Mae because Mae had what she couldn't, and threw it away. She's incredibly sad and hopeless, and through the game hanging out with Mae helps her to try and find a silver lining somewhere. She opens up as well and at the end shows off how she can be mature and level headed by outreaching to help Mae with her own problems.
She also seems to be a tad more assertive by the end of things. The after dinner fight has Mae pointing out how Bea is basically a door mat, which makes her incredibly upset, even if it's true. She won't even tell Mae about the real reason she goes to parties because she's jealous and angry about Mae. By the end of the game she's put all that behind her, for the sake of her friend.

Gregg is mostly about how he's an adult now and needs to act like it.

I'd say it helped the family aspect feel real. That's the kind of terrible joke my own father would say. Although he makes jokes about hamburgers usually.

I tried it, didn't really click for me

The main character is in her twenties, and yet she's just as small as a kid compared to her parents. Doesn't help she acts like she's still one around people.

That's the only thing bothering me, maybe i should give another try
>>
>>377052040
Those are both plot points actually.
>>
>>377052040
She's just short.
And yeah, she acts like a kid cause she's the one person in her friend group refusing to grow up, the game kinda makes a point about that.

I've played the game for a total of 26 hours, so I believe I'm well qualified to give my opinion on it. The game's plot can be summed up as: You drop out of college because it wasn't all it was cracked up to be, you return to your hometown to see your two gay friends who are both probably veiled puns about the gays (Bear - that one's obvious, Fox - foxes have the most gay porn drawn of them as far as furfags go) and a socialist lizard without a mother. You walk around without a job and play through a variety of minigames that are all basically the same until you see someone get kidnapped. You get to the bottom of things and realize that there is a cult of former miners kidnapping and sacrificing people to a demon at the bottom of a well to keep the town alive. When all is said and done your character (and by extension you) learn nothing. Overall - despite the fact that I played 26 hours of it, I felt generally unsatisfied with the product looking back on it. Being completely honest the only part I enjoyed was playing "Demontower", and that was only a minigame. The ending is rushed, the characters don't have much to them other than the fact that something fucked them up as a kid (Child abuse, dead parents, a slightly modified version of the story from "Silence of the lambs", etc.)[/spoilers], and all in all you won't have that much fun playing it unless you're a furfag.

Fuck this guy. I would have rather hung out with Bea anyway.

That scene where she is comically sparking on the ground like the looney toons felt so horribly out of place

If she wasn't a goth gator in an unfortunate scenario, I'd hate her as much as the Antifa-goat.

Bea being socialist makes plenty of sense. Her life got fucked cause the system failed her. American healthcare is great, but it will bankrupt you unless you have really good insurance, which it didn't.

She strikes me as the kind of girl who wouldn't give a rat's ass about politics save that they were more or less thrust into her life.

>Bea being socialist makes plenty of sense. Her life got fucked cause the system failed her.
Oh I agree she has reason to, I just figured "the valedictorian of her class" would know better than to trade a flawed system for a horribly-failed one.

Otherwise her lack of communication and kneejerk-anger only making her scenario worse are the [human] flaws I saw, problem being she's probably supposed to be a "morally-correct" character like Gregg, which they certainly are not.
>>
>>377054772
Thats just dev bias and politics, which you either agree with or don't.
I think she's wrong too, but the way she's written I imagine she'd burn her socialist stuff in a inferno if some venture capitalist became her boyfriend. She just wants an out, to have a life again, and is far too proud to resort to stripping.

>>377053430
He has such disdain for this game by the end of the stream.
>>
>>377055194
All the more reason I wish we got a true resolution out of the game's ending.

Doesn't have to fix the world's problems, just something that gave more hope than "whatever, let's play another song".
