Why the fuck do people like this game?

>characters are whiny tumblrites
Way to parrot and not actually play the game.

I don't get it either.
99% of the game is optional wandering around town to talk to a bunch of QUIRKY characters, and the main cast are a bunch of UNlikable losers doing stupid shit in a backwater town.
The other 1% is a plot seen many times before.

>>381898987
why do people like Life is Strange?

>>381899493
Because halfway through the game, it briefly becomes self aware, shits on Max and Chloe as characters and has you rooting for the bad guy before going back to the status quo.

And the game also serves as a helpful indicator - anyone who unironically likes the game beyond those parts can be pegged as a person to avoid, especially if they like let alone relate to Max and Chloe.

Honestly demontower was kinda fun, character moves p slow though

>>381900703
It really did though
It establishes this weird murder cult pretty early on, spends 2 hours with Mae being a cunt to everyone with her """quirky""" friends, then spends a shit ton of time on a character we never see who left before the game started, and THEN at the very end explains the murder cult.

I guess it had cute animal designs, good music and some creative ideas, that's all I can really say.

Story could've gone somewhere with the "how do I fix my life" theme and general fear of tomorrow, but instead decided to become commie-propaganda and then abruptly end with minimal resolution.

>>381901568
Try and tell me that the game wasn't a way for the dev to whine

Yes, the game is about how the dropout is living a shit life because they're acting like a spoiled teenager, BUT THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT
The game just forces you to keep making bad choices and ruin your life instead of getting a job, maturing, et cetera. It's so frustrating, especially since I have 2 older brothers who are exactly like the main character, and this type of shit makes them think it's okay to do this because it's socially acceptable.

>>381901958
Literally nothing in the game says 'This is an acceptable lifestyle'

>>381902107
Okay, so there are two options

>the game knows the main character is a piece of shit yet still tries to make them likable and make you sympathize with them

Or

>devs don't know that this isn't good behaviour because they live this lifestyle and therefore think Mae is a shining example of how school is dumb and capitalism is dumb

>>381898987

>>381898987
I hated the main characters so much I couldn't even finish the damn game. Mae has no right to be such an obnoxious, whiny bitch considering she comes from such a stable and loving background.

>>381903027
She's supposed to have a "psychological disorder" but really it's just that she's and edgy teenager. I get that the theme of the game is that she hasn't matured, but the game in no point in time makes an effort to communicate that it's a bad thing. The closest we get is when Bea is driving Mae home from the party, where she starts berating Mae and telling her how much she screwed up and how terrible she is, but then they ruined it by having Bea just go "sorry" right afterwards

Stories that are told from the perspective of someone you should not identify with is not a new concept, like I'd argue the main character of the Perfume novel isn't exactly likeable. However, that requires making the story compelling, which A Night in the Woods failed to deliver on.

>>381898987
You actually fell for the shilling and got the game?
man you need to realize when there is sudden spike of threads about an indie game its the dev trying to promote in the release window and get some sales.

>>381898987
i honestly liked the game. the characters didnt come across as whiny to me, the story was enjoyable(except that weird out of nowhere cult thing near the end), and the art was very good. i dont know why you thought they were whiny. Mae is a college dropout who just doesnt know what to do with her life, which believe it or not, people can relate to. Bea is a troubled character who's broken family life isnt really doing her any favors, Gregg was the happiest and easiest going character in the game, and Angus was.. there. honestly he wasnt much of a character. but he wasnt whiny.

>>381911407
I keep using the example of Bea driving Mae back from the party. Bea brings up valid points and criticizes Mae, but Mae, instead of realizing she's a fuck up and fixing her damn life, just cries until Bea apologizes

>>381910020
just look on e621 or something i guess m9

>>381911809
I think it's trying to portray Mae as not being able to handle the realities of life. there are people who are like that. Honestly i do wish she'd learned to be a better, more functional person instead of being the same as when she started, but maybe they are saving that for a sequel. but that didnt bug me too much. mostly because i liked Mae otherwise.

>>381898987
what are you talking about, only tumblr likes this game

>>381911809
She takes responsibility at the end of the gane retard. Of you're so thick that you have to play a fairly simplistic game 2 time to get it, you shouldn't post on the internet.

>>381912391
i remember the ending being like. hey things happened. yeah. they did. wanna play music now? yes. thats how i remember the ending. i really dont remember Mae changing all too much. honestly i felt the ending a bit too abrupt. it didnt feel like things really got solved. the cult is still around, Mae is still immature. the characters all feel the same as they were at the start. i wish the ending was a bit longer to really tie things up better.

So I haven't' finished watching this game yet (because fuck actually paying for this shit), but so far I agree with some of the other posts in that this story doesn't know what it wants to do with itself. Is it about the death of a small town? Is it about an immature dropout learning to not be a piece of shit? Is it about a person with mental illness? Or is it about an Old Ones death cult? Because try as it might, it can't be all four of these at once; they just conflict with each other too heavily to form a coherent narrative.

Had they just focused on one or two of these things it might have been more fulfilling, and perhaps more complete. As it stands the mental illness thing is muted by the death cult and undermines the immature dropout narrative. The death cult in general, despite being linked to the death of the town, undermines a lot of the more realistic tone of the other elements. I think you can only have two out of four elements and remain focused, and I believe that would have addressed some of the concerns in the thread.

I like this game because it makes me feel like I have friends.
Outside that, the game is kinda meh. The ending is really bad and the pacing isnt good either.

You're supposed to identify with the character because they are the protaginist, not accept their actions and fundamentally correct

>>381904162
Well in real life you'd apologize anyways
You don't just call someone a cunt, even if they are very well being a cunt
The point is Mae is a bitch and can't grow out of it
You empathize with her as a protagonist, that doesn't mean you can't condemning her actions
It never explicitly stated her actions are inherently bad, you see it when she's doing it anyways
If I stab someone, and no one says anything, is it still bad?
Yes.

>>381912687
The ending literally is
>"Hey Mae, you're not a lazy spoiled dead beat, it's this evil that dwells deep inside us that is obiusly a metaphor that will fly above stupid gamers heads!"
>"No, fuck you! It is my fault and I am responsible for my actions. I' ve learned through this past few weeks that I have been selfish and just looked for excuses so I wont deal with thevreal problem, so your mumbo jumbo redneck shit doesnt't fool me anymore, I'm starting to be a grown up."

It can have multiple themes (and I even said so in my post) but you can have conflicting themes or you simply don't have enough time to develop all of them, which leaves them feeling incomplete or underutilized. It's the same as characters: sure you can have a large cast of characters, but you have to look at how they interact with each other and how much time you have to dedicate to developing all of them or else the cast will feel weak. As it stands this game didn't spend it's time effectively trying to develop its themes and plot threads, and by including the cult it sort of threw away the tone it had been developing for the majority of the game. I think the mental illness and college dropout threads also sort of undermine each other because the illness gives her an excuse for why she's so shit and prevents her from developing.

They are right. They are unlucky, so they refuse to participate in a society that fucked them over. That's the correct decision.

>"establishes this weird murder cult pretty early on"
Actually, the player doesn't become aware of the murder cult until they watch Lurv get beaten up by the other cultists. It's a pretty hard left-turn 80% into the story.
>"spends a shit ton of time on a character we never see who left before the game started"
I honestly cannot figure out who you're talking about. Casey? Mae's Grandfather? They're hardly ever even talked about in the game.
>"and THEN at the very end explains the murder cult."
They explain themselves literally the night after the player first finds out about their cult. Even for a first-time player, it should've only been 20 min tops between those events.
I suspect you haven't actually played NitW.

All that being said, there was a tremendous amount of wasted potential in NitW's story, including in the growth (or lack thereof) of its own central protagonist, in the way it resolves its themes/ideas, and in its entire murder cult concept. Not to mention that the ending is mostly complete garbage.

I'm open to hearing how you believe this game developed everything nicely, especially since I haven't seen the end yet so perhaps they do develop everything nicely, but right now I'm not seeing it. You just need to look at other posts that say the cult came out of nowhere or that Mae's character didn't resolve properly to see that other posters agree that the game didn't quite finish developing its plot threads.

Your response better not be "I won't explain because you are too plebeian to understand" or I'll be very disappointed.

>>381914304
In the Bea route, in the mission "Proximity," Jackie says that she advocates punching fascists in the face.

My impression of Jackie from the beginning was that she's meant to be seen as a cunt, but at the same time, Bea likes hanging out with her, she gets a lot of people to come to her parties, and she calls Mae out for Mae's repeated, blatant fuck-ups at the party, so I dunno how I was actually supposed to feel about her.

Also while the resolution was indeed to reflect on the unpredictability of the future and things don't get fixed immediately, it was confirmed IF ran out of money and had to end the game sooner than expected, hence why it feels so open, abrupt and without a sense of "reaching" conclusion.

Because none of them finish the game and just circle jerk over the characters being flawed. They go "I FUCKING LOVE THAT THEY'RE TERRIBLE LIKE ME, THAT VALIDATES ME" and then just continue being fucking terrible.

>>381915939
They aren't terrible, they just have a much harder life than you do. "Successful" people are usually the terrible ones, because western society rewards being a terrible person.

>>381915742
Given that Jackie is seen as kind/happy everywhere else aside from Mae's fuckups and Benson's stance on "da facsists", I'm pretty sure he intended for people to see "her" as a strong right character or something.

You only see a cunt because many people don't exactly follow Antifa-logic.

>>381916053

>>381915936

Seriously though, educate me. I don't even hate the game, I just feel like its themes were in conflict which prevented any of them from really resonating, especially given how they were presented.

>plebian notion that things have to resovle in anything narrative driven in order to be good

I am not unfamiliar with the idea of non-resolutions. I fully expected the death of small town America to go unresolved and just be a background theme that drove the characters to their respective life choices and set the tone. On the other hand, the central character needs to have some sort of growth or message, unless the point of the story was how shit never changes (which then validates the people complaining that the story promotes the wrong message that Mae's behavior is acceptable).

>>381916448
I'm implying that modern mental illness seems from identifying that which is not there and or a complete lack of willpower and personal conviction.

I can not count the amount of these types of people I've met, only within the past 6 years or so, who's personal problems are simply self made and only serve to convolute everything else that they do. Not to mention it ALWAYS stems from an issue with socializing.

You coyld learn to live with yourself being somewhat flawed and improve the parts you clearly have control over.

Average face? Lose weight and dress better.
People dont like your personality? Feel lonely? Present yourself better and maybe try to learn how to not be a sperg.
Mental illness? Self diagnosed or depressed? Literally get some fucking exercise, lose weight, gain a bit of muscle, and allow your hormones to rebalance themselves instead taking mass amounts of ssris youre either getting from your friend or were prescibed.

Last but not least. Literally try not fucking having the problem. This is not a joke.

>>381917493
Beauty is subjective, as it your outlook on life. The problem lies within.

You either try to improve it or accept it and stop placing importance on it. Grass is always greener, even to chad.

>>381917493
Their self perception serves to demoralize themselves and then creates an issue SOCIALIZING. that's exactly what he said.

>>381917740

Notice how I didn't agree with that, just that it promotes the opinion of people who do. I personally can clearly see that Mae is a huge piece of shit and needs to change, and her interactions with others makes that pretty clear (fight with mom, fight with Bea, nags from dad to get a fucking job, bad influence on Gregg, etc), which is why I don't agree with people who think that the game promotes her behavior. I think others use author intent and a lack of resolution to argue the opposite, with author intent always being the slippery thing to argue on (yet /v/ does it a lot) and, again, I haven't seen the end, so maybe the argument of a lack of resolution has merit depending on how they do it.

See, you're pathologically delusional and still think you can lecture people. Beauty isn't subject, and ugly people have horrible lives. These are facts. Unless you acknowledge those facts, your opinions are not valid.

I can kinda see an appeal in some of the comfy moments, like when you return home the first time, but it's very boring. It's mostly just walking around and talking to people. The characters are a tad Tumblr, but not overly so. Not bad really, but I find it boring.

>>381918506

>>381920623

> I know that is how you're suppose to behave on this shithole, but come on.

I've found that disguising your argument with something more agreeable to the general opinion as a header increases the likelihood of someone reading it instead of just dismissing it with a "tl;dr you fucking shill/[platform]fag/etc," especially when people start to get heated (usually when they're arguing politics or culture war shit or whatever). It's probably a bad habit, but I really don't like it when people just start flinging insults without actually addressing the argument, so I've found that just prefacing your opinion to match the general tone means they might actually read it.

>And watching games is never a good thing dude, better pirate it and play for yourself, even if the gameplay is mininal

I actually had no idea what this game was, I just stumbled on an LP for it and went "what is this?" I only really got drawn into this thread because I was curious as to why people called this game communist, since apparently I didn't see the section where Bea goes all smash the state or something like that (and again I haven't seen the ending yet, maybe Sovetskiy Soyuz starts blazing while the workers rise up and overthrow the capitalist murder cult or something hilarious like that).

How would you even begin to know how a real relationship works if you're clearly projecting having never been in one yourself. Beauty has very little to do with any functioning relationship.

It's very clear that you have a skewed perception of the world because you focus too much on people's perception of you at face value and home yourself back because of it. That's a concious choice you're making and as had been stated before, is a self made problem that makes it hard for you to socialize. You put to much focus on things out of your direct control. Go learn an instrument if you're ugly. Gain attraction by other means. Bowie was not a conventionally attractive man, but became one due to his fame and doing what he liked.

Also how did this thread not 404, I was working for a solid hour and it's still going.

I was enjoying my conversation with the other Anon who's entirely too focused on beauty. That's really the only reason.

I've been in multiple relationships. Beauty is the only thing that matters, you're retarded for thinking otherwise. Unless you're beautiful, you will have the constant insecurity of being left for someone else, which poisons the relationship.

Bowie was yet another attractive person that got everything handed to him through his looks. You're a lunatic.

>>381927653
Holy crap this anon is psychotic. Yes I've dated 5/10's because beauty and not because they're a good person who I enjoy being around

how much of a beta male can you be?

>>381928075
Those 5/10s have an extremely diminished pool of potential suitors, which in itself represents a much lower quality of life.

>>381928294

In effect, yeah, it was. Beauty means lower levels of stress, anxiety, cortisol. It means never having to experience loneliness, it means receiving the constant dopamine rushes associated with social validation. It's like turning the brightness up on everything, life on very easy mode.

>>381929395
I had posted an ugly musician in that post as a preventative counter point to this exact argument you just made, but I guess you didn't notice. You're really not making your points very well

If you're dumb enough to think outliers are arguments, then you're not worth having an argument with. Of course I'm aware that there are other variables at play. Ugliness is only at its full burden if the person is question is also intelligent. There are many stupid ugly people are not hampered by it because they are too stupid to recognize their short-comings.

>>381929961
Outliers make up 90% of the music industry. Bowie included. Next you're gonna tell me freddy Mercury was a good looking guy too.

>>381929848
Weird. Those three words make sense individually, but in that order they're completely nonsensical.

What IS disgusting is the layout of those balloons, though. Christ's sake.

It's not bait, the most favorable position you can be in in today's society is one of a narcissistic, shameless sociopath with average intelligence and above average looks. Noble human traits are of next to zero value and will only increase the likelihood that you are miserable. Our society is structured such that if you view other people as tools or means to an end, half the work toward success is already done for you. If you view other people as tools and you're good looking, you are nearly guaranteed to become rich, even if you're retarded.

>>381932516
>Its not bait

Thats the worst part. Its that i think youre really genuine about this shit

>>381932516
Why are you so concerned with society. Do what you want. There's nothing holding you back. Fuck if you want to be beautiful you can even do that for a price now. Get you a jaw implant and some new hair and hop on roids. Dress like a fuck boy and get an instagram. If you succeed and thinga end up being handed to you like you claim, itll pay for itself in no time.

>>381932632

I think the psychotic breakdown she had could be an interesting point to explore for a character who feels burnt out on everything.

But everything else regarding her continued shoplifting, vandalism, and threats/insults to strangers could get pretty grating. That's where she starts to lose potential for sympathy from me.

>>381932969
Coping with how rigged reality is. There's nothing more delusional than actually believing "life choices" are relevant to how a person's life turns out. Take an extreme example, and go tell that to a person already dying of HIV at the moment of their birth.

>could be an interesting point to explore
there are A LOT of interesting points to explore in the game
too bad the game couldn't decide between character development or spooky cult mysteries and ended up being lackluster in both aspects
just looking at the cut germ content makes me sad because we get more development for germ and more development for the horror aspect

>>381933353
Says the fat uggo shitpoating on 4chan in his country privileged enough with internet access allowing him to do so.

Why are you so concerned with everyone else and not yourself first and foremost? This js why youre losing and this is why you have this bleak outlook.

No seriously. If think all of this is how it really is, why not kill yourself? Not joking. Like if life is pain if youre not one of the beautiful ones why even keep living

>>381931072
I think that post was talking about how people like Benson view the Right in general, not that stupid cult.

I liked it, i suppose i enjoy walking simulators, the bad aspects were the horrible loading times after every screen(you had to go through atleast 3 screens every time to reach the place you had to go to), the story was so overwhelmed with itself, they tried to stuff a shit ton of things into it, it expanded suddenly like a life vest

>>381934146
>losing
>implying I see it as losing

Everyone loses in the end, a human life is fleeting. That's the one solace for people who got fucked by bad luck; everyone is going to die, and the luckiest people will have the most to lose as their body begins to deteriorate.

>>381932827

This would be one potential argument, if not for the catch-22 associated with it. Once you've accrued enough money to buy looks, you've likely already lost the opportunity to enjoy your teens and 20s as a beautiful person. Most of the benefit is already gone.

>>381934886
So youre just a nihilist.

A nihilist on 4chan, of all things

>>381935214
I just see with perfect clarity how horrifically bad life is, and that anyone who believes otherwise is simply privileged to have such a delusion.

>>381936060
It just really all depends on what your perception of a struggle is. Some people like pain and struggle. Such a person would clearly love life.

To just label it as bad because life is suffering is just extremely narrow minded. Like trigun antagonist tier narrow minded.

Whatever gets you through the day i guess, but u can't imagine living a life waking up in the morning, yawning and going "ahhh... Another day of pointless struggle" without just taking myself out.

>>381936412
Anyone who says they like suffering has never actually suffered, nor persevered through anything of real challenge. Real suffering is being thrown into a cage and the key thrown away, and its psychological or physiological equivalents.

>>381937064
And you know thia because you have the perception of over 7 billion uniqie himan beings on this planet, do you

LOL

>>381937762
Unique, as in perspective. No two people think exactly the same based on their own experience in this realm. You can not sit there and say that you know how all other people perceive this universe.
