>>378621028
the only choice you have there is which girl you end up with though

It doesn't matter so long as the choices felt meaningful when you made them and it's not immediately apparent that the ending is one-size-fits-all.

Until Dawn is the best 'choice' game out there by an order of magnitude.

I unno, pic related has your choice meaning either:
A. Literally everyone ever is driven to suicide because of some ungodly force that's hidden deep within the subconscious of man.
or
B. You sacrifice yourself so that the urge to an hero doesn't reach everyone.

And P5 (and P3) didn't build itself up as a game where your choices would affect the ending, unlike Life is Strange or Mass Effect.

Western devs are supposedly known for "freedom"

>>378621361

Those choices are "Retcon the entire game, nullifying all your choices" and "Let everyone die except your bitchy scene GF, making all your choices pointless"

>>378621028

No where in all the marketing for P5 is it stated that your choices matter.

And yet it's one of the very few games I've enjoyed from start to finish in recent years. It's almost like games are about the whole journey or something, and a flawed ending can't suddenly negate the rest of the experience. /v/ will defend Soma rabidly too, despite that having a shit ending (where none of your choices matter either).

ZTD seems to have a pretty flawed experience. I've barely started and from two random fragments I've got overly dramatic Sigma with inappropriate pacing and Eric's comically abusive family. It's not mysteriously vague, it's just baffling.

>>378622598
The problem with Japan mystery VNs is that they don't share the same DNA as Western ones. So while the evolution of the Western mystery is fairly standardized to us, where you give all the clues such that a smart reader can figure it out, the Japanese have absolutely no issue with pulling shit out of their asses in the denouncement.

What's funny is that none of that Tumblrshit is in the game unless you choose to engage with it. There's not a single lesbian character in the game either, despite /v/'s reeeeing about how it's about lesbians. You've essentially been tricked by a bunch of Tumblr landwhales into believing their narrative.

>Alternate Endings: There are two endings that can be obtained through a glitch in the game in which Jennifer quickly crosses the courtyard before Anne's pool death happens to reach the other side of the mansion so the player won't encounter Bobby for the first time. In the first alternative ending, if the player then decides to exit the mansion in the car (the pathway to Ending G and H), Jennifer escapes the mansion and only the credits display, concluding that Jennifer "successfully" escaped. This automatically results in the completion of Ending D in the endings menu of the game. In the second alternative ending, if the player decides to follow the steps leading to Endings S, B, or C without watching Anne or Laura die, Lotte will not be found in the altar, thus resulting in Ending F if the player continues to play. Even if the player wants to follow the steps leading to Endings A or B by witnessing Lotte killed by Mary in the shed would still result in Ending F.

A fucking Super Nintendo game has more endings than Shit is Strange at a whopping 9 endings.

It's a point and click adventure where it's pretty easy to get killed. It's one of the scariest 16-bit games ever made with its brilliant use of music and sound.

>>378625562
So it was a great game because it had a lot of endings?

>>378620961
I will never forgive telltale for this sort of shit. I am fine with interactive stories as a format for story driven games but they said the story changes based on your choices. Only cosmetic things changed.

Also QTE's that don't accomplish anything are fucking stupid.

Did you miss the bi bit anon? Also despite how LESBIANS you think this game might be, no one actually says "OH FUCK, IM SUPER GAY BTW" in the entire game. Its not treated with anykind of gravity that Chloe had a relationship with the missing town bike. It's fairly ambigious for most of the game, were the friends? Were they fucking? Racheal may as well have been a dude for all the casualness it was treated with.

>>378625672
Not him but Fallout 3 is one of the worst games I had ever played just because of its endings. It went from a 7/10 or an 8/10 to a 1/10 or a 2/10 just because of its nonexistent and awful endings.

>>378625524
Either way anon it just doesn't matter. The game never ever pulls RESPECT MUH GAYNESS on you. It never makes a big deal of it. It can be optional and even if you try to make Max as rug muncher as possible it never gets shown as preachy or anything. It just "is". Chloe could have been a dude for how casually they treated the two occasions you could kiss Chloe.

>>378625524
Only a fag would push Max and Chloe together anyway, because it makes no sense in the context of the story. The whole thing works so much better as a narrative when they're just best friends AND when you sacrifice Chloe at the end. And I didn't even dislike Chloe.

It means you are tired of actually playing games, wanted to see a show, grabbed this, had minor interactions with it, and were satisfied because it appealed to your laziness while still making you feel like you retained your old nostalgia-fueled hobby.

It's just a 3d VN.

Not the same person. Nobody cares. Take your autism elsewhere.

>>378627052
That's complete bullshit though. It's a straight choice between whether you want to make Max and Chloe a couple of not. There's no effort required for it not to happen. You just choose one button prompt over the other. The ending works just as well with them as best friends who love each other in that context. Better even, because their romantic relationship makes zero sense.

You can project and lie all you want, but it won't change the actual content of the game.
