I didn't make any choices, and after skimming through the black bars here and googling for the endings, it seems to default through almost every scene and all of the endings. I have no idea how long I was watching it, but it felt like forever and it wasn't a fun experience. When you don't do anything, it picks a certain choice (not always the left or right side), and it jumps back to older branches once it has replayed the most recent branches. It doesn't change fake choices like the food, music and LSD, or choices that backtrack to endings you've already seen, so I didn't get the full fight scene or the psychologist's secretary not answering the phone. I wouldn't recommend doing it like that, but know that it'll show you pretty much everything, which is a credit to the way they made it.

END CHEMTRAILS NOW posted:I thought it was pretty good. It kept my interest all the way through. As a Black Mirror episode, I thought it was below average. The actual story seemed kind of shallow, and I felt like I was waiting for a twist that never came. This exists. There is a variation where he becomes a vessel for the viewer and asks how to behave. It leads to him killing his dad again. It's near the end of the default path (not picking anything) and not in the Netflix branches, but it does happen after you've played out those scenarios.

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:They put a lot of thought into the psychology of those first few clicks. They give you an express yes/no where a no gives you a "but thou must" then follow it up with a decision (taking the job or not) where saying no is the right answer even if it appears to be another explicit wrong choice which introduces the loop and characters awareness of the loop early. I hope they're keeping data on people's choices but I wouldn't be surprised if they have like a 90% plus rate on people accepting the job on the first run through. When you think about it, that short yes path is the happiest ending. The game gets 0 stars, but nobody dies, he doesn't go crazy, he doesn't need pills, and the company doesn't go out of business. The lesson is sell out, and the grass is never greener on the other side. Attack Princess fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Dec 29, 2018 |

KoRMaK posted:Going through All the spoilers it looks like I have. It does intertwine, but you don't see it before you hit multiple endings and go back to earlier decisions each time. There's at least three more branches out of visiting daddy's room. Some of them loop back around to endings you may already have seen. You can't get in there unless you do soft restarts, because it remembers your choices in other branches and what endings you've already seen. It works similar to the Stanley Parable. I'm not defending the narrative though. I agree with you that it isn't as interesting as it wants to be. Attack Princess fucked around with this message at 09:11 on Dec 30, 2018 |

Breitbart Is Rightbart posted:Does it always pick the left option if you let it play on its own? Or does it mix it up, left then right then right again etc? It does not always pick left. There's a pattern it goes through to give you as much of the story as possible.

Dumb Lowtax posted:Do bandersnatch again? You didn't even do it once To be fair, and this isn't specifically at the goon who said that, but rather at a few youtube reactors I've seen who tapped out early despite seeming to enjoy it. Bandersnatch doesn't communicate well enough that it has a hard stop where it forces you into the credits. It doesn't help being told that after seeing it, because you have to start at the first timeline again instead of resuming if you want to experiment further. It could've used some way to enter choices to skip ahead like when you start a Mass Effect 2 game without a ME save. I suppose this kind of stuff is unavoidable because of the format. Especially because modern CYOAs like Telltale and Quantic Dream's games are meant to give you a full experience in one playthrough, so those have set a standard that people will expect other CYOAs to follow. Bandersnatch is more like Primer than a CYOA. Attack Princess fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Dec 31, 2018 |

Breitbart Is Rightbart posted:Isn't that choosing JFD at the safe? There's a sequence of events where you get JFD ending straight after picking the book, instead of entering JFD at the safe. The Pax ending also has at least two different triggers. You can see him at the apartment and at the safe.

Sub Rosa posted:They are different scenes. One is a jump scare at the safe, the other is getting stabbed after picking the family photo a second time. Ah! That's cool. I was wondering after the fact how they made the background in those scenes fit with the place the character was supposed to be. I completely missed that they weren't the same scene. Or maybe I didn't even see one of them.

I genuinely liked how Loch Henry works by distracting you from its classic twist by having you wait for the WHAT IF PHONES part that never comes. It's pretty meta.

Real answer is Netflix wants you to think the EULA is ironclad, so that's canon in the show. The One True Joan in our reality just didn't want to wait for the lawyers.

fullroundaction posted:[...]* Potential plothole from the notes above if we concede that the mindlink and perfect replicant tech exists, and ignoring all of the ridiculous lack of security etc surrounding this project, why would they ever choose to put the real people in space and not the replicants? not only does that make no sense but then ANYONE could pilot the replicants 24 hours a day ... unless there was a throwaway line explaining this that I missed Beyond the Sea: It's likely for the bragging rights of landing a human on a new planet. This would be during the space race after all. Drones wouldn't be prestigious enough.

Tehdas posted:I get the feeling that in Demon 79 the original deal was that Nida had to do the killings or she would die. It makes more sense, the demons surely don't want to gently caress up the whole world and loose those lovely souls just because because some noob demon can't get some rando to kill ppl. The domino chips destroying the world make sense if they're made by human occultists and not demons. Like a contract demons begrudgingly uphold.

Cojawfee posted:I watched half of the one about the wife with the brain tumor and the subscription brain. It's ok, but it's capitalism but more of it. Maybe it's really hard to get away from the "What if *blank* but too much" trope with this show. They did this exact episode with Fifteen Million Merits, and I feel that one still holds up. This new one doesn't have dark humor to lean on. It's simply grimdark. And it's too obvious how it'll play out once it introduces the self-deprivation streaming. Maybe I'll change my opinion if there's a last second twist. I am paused near the end. I needed a break and distraction to psych myself up for what I'm pretty sure will be gore porn. I've been dreading the moment the dude fucks with his teeth or cuts off pieces of himself. Edit. It was worse than I imagined. Strong contender for most depressive Black Mirror episode.

I liked Bête Noire. A fun Black Mirror episode. They should've opened with that. The binge continues. I'm so here for what Hotel Reverie is doing! The Last Action Hero was way ahead of its time!

It was a bad plan by people in over their heads. That covers both the studio owner and the wreckless tech company. They were too in love with the idea of expanding their portfolios to consider that this would not be for anyone. Disney will do this the second it's possible though. And it will print money, considering the popularity of the Star Wars remasters.

USS Callister 2: I can't get over the intro of Jimmi Simpson's clone. The camera pointed directly up his rear end crack is too funny. I wasn't sure if I saw nuts, but then we're flashed later. Well played, Jimbo!

veni veni veni posted:The thronglets were cute but it didn’t look like a game from that era. It looked like a modern pixel art thing. I know that complaint is dorky as gently caress, but it threw me off cause the rest of the episode had decent attention to detail. Right. It had anachronistic features from modern engines. Like the pixel distortion that made their eyes different sizes. That visual glitch can be hidden. It's possible they wanted the game to look uncanny.

EricBauman posted:I could see it working as a gag, akin to hidden camera stuff. Current day Kieran Culkin tells Kevin the time in Home Alone 2. Actually now that I think about it. They could take the sentient movie AIs and put them in other movies. Grab Freddie and Jason, put them into American Pie and see what happens.
