I don't know very much about this game, but watching your videos fills me with this somber feeling of dread and anxiety... I love it!

That mutant was loving frightening. What happened to him? He looked (relatively) okay when we saw him before, if hunched over and moaning about someone called "Jessie." We come back and he's turned into... whatever the gently caress that was. And why was it carrying Joy? For that matter, why was it carrying 2 Joy, when the other two times we got it, we got it in sets of 3? What the gently caress does Joy do to people?

Nobody can really go into that without revealing massive spoliers. I liked this game, disliked undertale.

Bullet Dodging is harder than really basic platforming and turn based RPG tactics, I'll give you that.

undertale is as monkey cheese as Earthbound is (ie "quirky"). Like all Earthbound likes it's either something you get or your don't, there is no real objective mark for or against its style since style is most of the game. At the very least there's a lot of interesting meta-narrative and gameplay put into it. Many other EB inspired games have more or less meta narrative but do not have much gameplay at all really, such as Space Funeral, Off, and Yume Nikki (which I personally think counts, and is one of my favorite games ever, but like all earthbound likes you either enjoy it for the style and what it's doing or you don't). I'm not SUPER into it, but I've only done a no-kill run (not pacifist because I've just marched from beginning to end without really doing extra poo poo, and apparently there's interesting things to do that you gotta look for). And I try not to hold a fanbase against a creative work. Many things I like have terrible fanbases. I'm reserving total judgement until later. I think VOD's first video does the best job an enthusiast of the game can of explaining what there is to like about it though, and it helps that his praise for the game doesn't have backhanded scorn for other RPG's violence like many other fans seem to, even reviewers I like. I haven't gotten far into Lisa either, though, because everything I did felt like I was being forced deeper and deeper into a hole, though I did like the humor. I guess I'm not super into story games in general right now. I'm hoping to get on Lisa's wavelength by watching the LP. Hemingway To Go! fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Oct 24, 2015 |

Full disclosure: I've played some of this game, though not much of it; the next update will likely reach the limit of what I've seen in LISA. I also played Pain Mode, which was a bad idea. The exploding corpse around the 2:30 mark of the most recent update was something special. It's timed so that it will burst right above you and do a lot of damage if you just keep walking without suspecting anything. The whole thing reminded me of the random, horrible poo poo that happens in I Wanna Be The Guy, except that unlike in that game, this only happens once and never again. There's nothing you learn from walking under a hanged corpse and having it suddenly explode and hurt you a whole lot, except how horrible this world is.

Well I was going to get back to finishing my LISA LP but I suppose I don't need to now.  Mazed posted:it's an elaborate metaphor relating to disease. Going by this interpretation, the game actually has sincere human meaning and isn't a commentary on lovely internet behavior. Wow, somehow I didn't even think of that. It makes a lot of sense.

Pain Mode ups the difficulty first and foremost. It also changes a couple of bosses, adds a small extra area and a post-credits scene (both of which raise a few more questions about the game) and makes all the save points explode after using them, so you can only use each one once. It's debatable as to whether or not it's worth it, given that last point, but it's there if you want more of a challenge.

Spoiler free version: Pain mode doesn't add much, to be honest. The game keeps the same general difficulty. A few fights and boss encounters are changed to be more challenging, but they're so infrequent that it's almost not worth it. There's one section of the game and a bonus ending that are only accessible if you're playing in Pain mode, but they're short and largely inconsequential, easily viewed online for those curious. The real challenge comes from the fact that save points are only single use. Straight from Dingaling himself on the Steam page: quote:- This Mode allows you to save only one time at a crow.

The pain mode ending is definitely worth it, and restricted saves aren't even a factor if you know the game well enough.

This game and Undertale are both excellent, although I prefer the latter slightly. I started up Joyful when it came out but then lost interest, especially after hearing a lot of lukewarm reviews, so I'll be interested in watching that.Railing Kill posted:Thanks for the thoughts on Undertale, everyone. I'll check out the LP going on and make a call about it soon. In case anybody else is curious, there's a free demo of Undertale available on the game's website. I highly recommend getting more than one ending.

MelvinBison posted:Brad is the hero Undertale needs. In all seriousness, I think Brad's presence will ruin Undertale, for all its worth. Don't get me wrong, Brad is a fantasically complex character, but his character flaws would be detrimental for the world of utter optimism that is Undertale. In a game like LISA, however, Brad's flaws actually bring out the best (or worst, depending on how you view it) of the world of LISA.

Brad would get along with everyone up to Undyne and that's when problems start. Also he started out with like seven hundred health at level one so he could probably do god mod poo poo with those kinds of stats. By level five he could probably tear the door to the ruins off its hinges.

The entirety of Undertale actually takes place through the eyes of one of the LISA mutants. That's just how they see the world. A sad dad and a luchador approach you, sighing. Terry. They occasionally break down in tears when you're fighting them because Undertale is so emotional you guys Pittsburgh Lambic fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Oct 25, 2015 |

Charmy ain't tense if you bring Terry. Piss him off and he's liable to hit himself, doing way more damage than you can hope to, without making him any more dangerous (since he oneshots you already).

I love this LP but one bit of criticism is you could leave the text up a tiny bit longer, I had to occasionally pause the video to read the dialogue, and it's the dialogue that makes the game. The cursor in the corner added character.
