I bought this game a while back, but I admit I haven't played it yet. It kinda scares and intimidates me  Guess I'm kinda pathetic.

I know that goes against the spirit of the game, but when I'm trapped in a situation like that I kinda want to flip off fate just for the sake of being contrary. Yes you can. No you won't.

Rangpur posted:I had a shockingly fortunate run against Charmy. He focused on Brad, who can actually take a hit from him, and succumbed to Nern's ghost stories. Even Terry contributed! By throwing molotovs, but hey, someone's gotta be the item monkey. Terry was indirectly mvp of that fight for me. Charmy hit himself twice for 2k damage a pop. Practically won the battle for me. In fact, for all the crap that he seems to be getting here, I can't help but feel Terry is a lot better than he's been given credit.

Speedball posted:It's not just a "Children of Men" type scenario here, either, it's like Olathe is home to only the stupidest, most toxic forms of masculinity. Vern couldn't stop verbally dumping on his wife even as he kept saying he missed her. Well, the trailer for the game flat-out states that the world is populated by perverts and dipshits, it's not trying to hide anything.....

Railing Kill posted:I don't think it's a spoiler because thevoiceofdog mentioned it in the last video, but there's a status effect that kills allies. Like, DEAD dead. Perfume won't rouse you from getting your head bitten off. Which is why piss off abilities are so valuable. Sure, it sucks when you get 1-hit KOed, but it's better than being DEAD.

If at any point you say that you respond negatively, he'll attack and he has a couple of insta-kill moves. Makes him even deadlier then some mutants. He has instant kill moves? Wow. Didn't know that (he goes down like a chump with a Birdie oriented party).

JT Jag posted:Olan, Nern and Birdie seems like it would make a really strong endgame party. Olan deals a lot of raw damage, Birdie is versatile and has tons of HP, and they're both TP characters so Nern can fuel them. Nern, Birdie, and Terry were my Painful team. Terry's only problem at the mid-to-endgame is his pitiful sp, which Nern takes care of handily. Allowing for constant abuse of Terry's high level abilities. Terry and Brad do the damage (with Birdie setting them up). Nern + Birdie allow for self-sufficiency (no inns, resting, or items needed). Brad, Nern, and Terry all provide battle control. Probably my favorite team. One could swap out Terry and Nern for two different fire users, or swap out just Nern and keep Terry. Though like I said, Terry has some sp issues. mauman fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Dec 8, 2015 |

Just a note if anybody is going through painful mode. There is no downside to using joy, outside of using your limited supply. The joyless ending stuff is overwritten by the painful ending stuff. Use dem drugs.

ro5s posted:I think you can get the joyless and pain mode endings on the same playthrough. IIRC, joyless is a bonus text conversation after the credits and then you'll get the painful scene. Ok, seems I was a little vague. Normal mode - bonus for using no joy Painful mode - NO bonus for using no joy, you get a different bonus for just beating painful mode. It's impossible to get both at the same time.* *I'm pretty sure this is the case, correct me if I'm wrong though. mauman fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Dec 17, 2015 |

Speedball posted:I'm curious about older characters we haven't used in a while. Would Fardy have unlocked any new abilities (he seemed to just have Truck Slam as his only notable ability) by now? Would even TERRY be useful by now? Terry would have been useful for a while actually. Besides his special moves, he gets a fairly good buff that can turn multi-hit characters (olan, carp, etc) into loving nightmares.

Gaming the system, round 3.* *quick recap round 1 - terry choice - don't pick up anything till after you get mugged round 2 - arm vs companion - put your least favorite party member at this point in your 2nd slot (terry for the misguided "gently caress Terry" crowd, recommend Rage for everybody else). Round 3 - Buzzo takes your non-equipable items and mags. Sell all of your items and buy a big pile of weapons. You'll come out of the situation with your arm and enough mags to buy the items you're likely going to need. As the video makes a point of, NEVER QUESTION BUZZO. mauman fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Dec 23, 2015 |

C-Euro posted:I'm assuming that the three party members put up to die by Buzzo are just whoever is in your party? That seems easy to game as well. What would have been really devious is if the game tracked how many battle you used each character in (or some other "amount of use" statistic like regular EXP) and then pulled the three guys who were at the top of that list. Yeah, but theirs no real "in-game" benefit to gaming this one. Speedball posted:Yeah, since we have so many guys at our disposal I'm surprised we haven't sacrificed anyone but Terry (and Rage to the mandatory Russian Roulette). Yeah, now is the time for some Roulette and to use our army of c-list fodder. As a small side note, there is one big problem with gaming the system. "Selfish" players have a larger chance of having allies leave at campfires (tents/inns are safe). Solution: Don't sleep at campfires, they generally suck anyways. mauman fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Dec 23, 2015 |

ManlyGrunting posted:Oh dang, really? poo poo, I didn't mean that at all. I just meant that the game stuck with me more because of how thoroughly and unflinchingly it looked at the roles of abuse and neglect on the family- though a lot of this comes from a post-Joyful mindset (I'm in the minority of really, really liking Joyful; after finishing I just sort of shut down the computer and stared out the window for a while). If it helps, you didn't say that (nor did I interpret it that way). In other words, you shouldn't have to apologize or explain. People are just being people.

If I recall Dingaling did NOT care for Garth (even citing him as his least favorite). It would make sense for him to be a pile of steeping hot garbage. Also, Garth was a backer character so it wasn't like DL could just drop him.

thevoiceofdog posted:Honestly I think Bo is the best healer in the game, TP can be a bit unreliable since you don't always have enough for Birdie's heal (15 TP is a decent amount) and Bo does the exact same thing with SP without even needing to use his dial combo. I don't think I really showed off Bo to his potential but he's an excellent support character. That's why Nern is such a great combo with Birdie. Yeah, he's not a fire user so you're going to do less damage (not that it matters as long as you have two other fire users), but you have a self sustaining tp generator to feed Birdie.

Anatharon posted:One thing I kinda wish is that there was more points in the game where you had to sacrifice your party members for some kind of tangible gain. Even Brad's arms aren't that important because he can still do his best move without either. Well..... I disagree about his arms, they've always seemed to do well damage wise to me. Plus it adds up. And if you sacrifice a minion early on to Buzzo (gently caress Rage) you're likely to lose more than just that guy, since that unlocks the "party member leaves while you sleep by a campfire cuz screw Brad he doesn't give a poo poo about us" event. Then you realize that tents/inns don't have that event and you always sleep in a tent/inn afterwards. Also campfires have the kidnapping events, so it's not a good practice anyways. mauman fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Sep 20, 2016 |
