Just a quick nonspoiler answer will be fine: Is the only choice you have to make whether to hang out with Gregg or Bea? Meaning, you can see absolutely everything by playing the game twice because all the other characters you can hang out with don't lock you out of the Two Main Paths?

So I noticed that literally nobody has gotten the Platinum trophy for this game. Is it because of the cut Germ scene I assume? They better patch it  I got Lori's hang-out scene last night and oh my God she really is the best  e: actually it looks like there are a whopping five Trophies that nobody has managed to get precision fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Mar 12, 2017 |

It really says a lot that this game came out right in the middle of Yakuza 0 and Horizon consuming my soul and if hard pressed to pick a favorite, I'd legitimately call all three of them equally good. This is one of those rare "20 dollar indie games" where you should absolutely pay full price and not be a cheapass, there's a ton of content for a game of this type and the writing is fantastic. My wife is 22 and I'm 41 and we both really identify with the characters, it's crazy. Like when Germ started talking about "hanging out with Crusties" I was all "oh man yeah I remember the mid-00s".

Wait is Gregg supposed to be a dog? I thought he was a deer. I thought he even says "I'm a deer" as a play on "dear" once. I thought everyone in the game is either a Cat, a Crocodile, a Deer, a Mouse, or a Bear.

Bea reminds me far too much of a lot of people I used to know when I used to get so drunk I'd agree to things like "DJ a goth night".

Mae is bisexual, right? I know she likes "cute boys" but I could have sworn she also mentions being attracted to women at least once, early on?

edit: ^^^^ Oh yeah, that's where that conversation occurs, but my point stands because she definitely likes that one boy It always makes me happy when writers don't use "bisexual" as shorthand for "will gently caress anything that moves and is always horny".

Oh that's great. I've always been pansexual but I'll say "bi" if I don't have time for the entire "I'm attracted to people regardless of what's between their legs, I'd date a very femme boy just as easily as I'd date a femme girl, and likewise I have no interest in "butch" people of either gender".

kurona_bright posted:how exactly is this the game getting ruined? I assume that poster thinks it will ruin a game about being an outcast, growing up, fitting in, and figuring out what you're all about to discuss this stuff. Which is silly. e: Do you have to do well/poorly on all 3 songs in the same playthrough for the trophies, because gently caress that last song

JuniperCake posted:If you don't mind elaborating, what don't you like about it? Nonspoiler answer: the pacing, the tonal shift, the almost complete lack of interactivity or choices Spoiler answer: I was loving a game about real world people problems and anxieties, fitting in, growing up, making friends, keeping friends happy, keeping yourself happy, exploring the town and hanging out with cool people. Then suddenly it's an actual horror game about a big cult and Actual Cthulhu, which could have been done well but here all it did was bring up about a thousand questions with no answers

Oxxidation posted:They're all about the same thing, one is just a realized metaphor instead of straight realism. I get that, my main complaint is the way it's written and presented. I just didn't think it was very well done and felt both rushed and forced.

RE: Dreams Who is the person in Mae's dreams whose silhouette you can see but never interact with? Casey? Also, my wife was listening to Spotify while I played the Epilogue and this song came on and it was scary how well it fits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRQ8l7Z-_k0 At the "you gotta keep on walking you'll forget about me" I started bawling

eatenmyeyes posted:I finished watching Slowbeef's play through. I think that investigating first with Angus kept him from doing Legends. Gregg said he couldn't hang out because it was date night. I hung out with Angus first in that sequence and it locked me out of doing Bea's investigation thing, I think.

Paul Zuvella posted:That... sure was an ending. I agree completely, the last act really put me off the game, not in the "the ending retroactively ruined it!" sense, just in the "was that really necessary? I'm thinking no" sense.

Anime Store Adventure posted:The Soft Girl covers sound like what I would expect the actual characters' band to sound like, mostly. I personally prefer a few of the other covers over theirs but they win for 'accuracy' in my book. Their version of "Die Anywhere Else" is almost a carbon copy of "Radio Free Europe" with a dash of other early REM songs. It sounds really good but I imagined the actual band sounding a lot more distorted and abrasive.

Though that honestly may be a way that she copes with, or is a product of her illness Or, you know, because she's still very young and figuring things out. She's a good kid, deep down. They all are.

exquisite tea posted:I think it's really important that Bea exists in this interpretation, as she's smarter than everyone else, works twice as hard, and still gets crushed by the system anyway. It's easier to dismiss Mae and Gregg's problems as "those wayward millennials" but then you have Bea who plays by the rules 100% and it still doesn't matter. What about Angus though? He also plays by the rules and is far and away the most well-adjusted of the lot. E: And I would say he's at least as smart as Bea

i started my Weird Autumn replay the other day and "Space Dragon" is legit the best video game song of the year, and possibly of all time. it's like a shorter instrumental take on "Dopesmoker"
