It looks like it's time for the 3rd playthrough.
Anyway, I can't explain it well but Dybowski reminds me a lot of of Yoko Taro. I hope he'll make breakthrough like Yoko Taro did since the only problem with IPL right now is their budget.

no one knows, but theres a 'pathologic 2: marble nest' it hasn't been formally announced yet.
i dont think ipls the type of studio to make something like that paid but patho 2 didnt sell very well and it might be a 'pay to support' thing, honestly who knows.
cant wait to play marble nest again, shit was kino.

The big name reviews for this game were unambiguously a fucking disgrace.
They obviously didn't play the game for more than two hours before giving up and writing a review.
This is why games shouldn't have easy modes.
You should not review games unless you have the fucking patience to actually fucking play them.
John Young
they both have the same kind of uncompromising stance on their games, where the gameplay is going to serve to illustrate the game's themes regardless of whether it's mechanically fun or not.
that was some shit right there, fuck you Mark you smug pompous ass. maddest I've been at video games in a long time but for once it was for all the right reasons.
Zachary Bailey
Pathologic has had fans on Yea Forums at least since the remaster of the first game.
Brandon Roberts
To be fair, retards like that could steer people away from something like this and for such supporters of the "Games are art" shit, they spit on actual art while celebrating Gone Home as some apex of video game storytelling. Pathologic 2 getting the other two characters is going to also depend on the game selling well so they have actual capital to work with.

Right, it's only fair for game journos to trick people into buying bad games.
Youtubers tricking people into buying good games is the worst.
Jaxson Sanchez
And then they complain about hard games and demand developers to have an easy mode in every new game, game journalists are a bunch of faggots and their opinions should be ignored.
Ethan Thomas
Sounds pretty based honestly
Juan Mitchell
Of course, Mandalore's pretty niche so it only suffices that his fanbase would be the type to already hold journos in contempt. The issue is your usual Twitter using normie who may have liked Pathologic 2 if they tried it but only looked at an IGN review calling it "Soulsian Russian Skyrim" and deciding to toss out the notion of buying it. A lot of genres and games end up neglected despite being of high quality due to some people being too lazy to look into it themselves
Carter Johnson
to play some doubles' advocate here, game reviewing is often done on a tight schedule with little leeway for mistakes and false starts. I can very easily imagine having an entirely different experience with P2 if I was forced to play it on a time limit of like 2-3 days.
that said I entirely agree the big name reviews were a fucking disgrace, RPS in particular was galling with how hard they missed the point.
send out the review copies a week earlier, or god forbid post the review a week later. there's ways around this. but nope, it's gotta be FAST, it's gotta be BRIEF BUT QUOTABLE, and it's gotta distill the whole thing down to a number that barely even means anything since a score below 7/10 is considered trash these days.

I did because I still visit that site out of some long since faded goodwill from that original Pathologic review, and every time I do I'm reminded that none of them know how to play video games.

You could just upend a flowerpot on your face for the same experience, and for way cheaper.
James Roberts
Backers get all three routes no matter what. However that depends on if they can get them done, TinyBuild helped them a bit but they did state a few times if the game doesn't do well enough they may need to charge for the other two characters at best or simply not be able to finish the game at worst. Ideally they want Pathologic 2 to be a complete package at a one time cost but they're in a pretty fucked spot right now
Austin Hall
Joshua Sullivan
The game will never be finished then.
Ryder Smith

Not really an argument for buying it since Ice Pick did promise all three characters to begin with.

Cameron Anderson
Yeah, if you backed the game on KS you'll get them. If the game sells well they'll be added free because they got fucked hard by an economy hit and needed a publisher JUST to get what they had done in any reasonable period of time. Not buying it now only adds to the chance of it either making you pay for the Bachelor and Changeling as DLC OR even worse than that, the game never getting them added.
Caleb Rivera
Don't you go all bossy on me clever clogs
Hudson Wilson
Well Bachelors not from the town so he can't technically be village idiot.
Joseph Powell
Artemy Vorakh?
Tyler Reyes
Yeah, HD Classic one is the one you want.
You don't *have* to play that first, but it gives you the opportunity to play the outsider character first, and see the events of the game through the eyes of someone who has no idea what they're getting into. 2 puts you in as someone who's relatively familiar with most of the weirder shit, so you kinda lose a little something.
if you're an autist about getting the BEST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE (TM) out of it, play HD Classic Bachelor first, then 2. if you're not, do whatever seems coolest.

>Dad got murdered the night you arrived
>Plague hits town
>Try to surivie plague, keep important npcs and yourself alive
That's the basic gist of it. You do have a specifc group of characters that you are suppose to keep alive no matter what. The original has 3 characters each with their own "bound" but due to financial reasons they released one character, Haruspex first with the idea to release the others after, and his bound are the children who will go on to inherit the town. Game isn't selling well and the devs have gotten quiet so people are worried the other two might never come out.
Ryder Miller
shank muggers, cut out their organs, sell them on the black market
run out into the steppes and pick dank weeds to brew potions with
run around town like a madman trying to show your nuts to every little girl you can find
willingly trade ammo for food because the latter is far more important and valuable
try and fail to be a good steppedad and keep your kids alive
you could also hoard yourself a big pile of toast and sleep for a week and a half while the town burns around you, it's your call.

>walking simulator
wish this fucking meme would die already
the core gameplay loop of trading, stabbing people, mixing tinctures, looting, and dialogue options is solid, but this is not a game with fun combat or combos or finishers or stuff you're probably thinking of.
the interesting part comes from moment to moment decisions about what you're going to do and how you're going to do it given limited time, resources, and health. choosing to abandon a quest that looks like it'll get you dead in a ditch, or choosing to lose a big chunk of your own resources saving someone else, are what makes this game stand out more than immediate fun in combat, assuming combat is what you meant by gameplay because that seems to be the case for most people.
Parker Butler
You are GOING to get fucked by a dude with a knife (blocking won't stop you taking damage since he's just slashing up your arms, not shanking you), and taking on more then 2 people at once is a challenge without a gun, which even then can jam and ammo can get rare and expensive, assuming by gameplay you mean combat.

I'm genuinely struggling to think of who you mean, except maybe the arsonist's? Then again I found I looted more in districts with the thugs hanging around rather then infected ones, I can just get a bandage if I get stabbed or beaten or sleep, instead of wasting immunity boosters when I have a better alternative to go to for looting since one small mistake and I could easily be infected.
Hudson Rivera

Logan Wood
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you stupid butcher? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in medical school, and I’ve been involved in numerous bar brawls and student protests in the capital, and I own over 300 microscopes. I am trained in the injection of antibiotics, and I’m the top practitioner in the entire Thanatica lab. You are nothing to me but just another test subject. You better run before I take out my scalpel, or you'll need a degree to understand what's happening to you, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit by sending me a letter at 10pm? Think again, cowfucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of drunks across the town and your hideout is being staked out right now so you better prepare for the storm, worm. The storm that makes the Sand Pest look like a light fever. You’re fucking dead, "oynon". I can get anywhere, slowly, and do whatever I want around here, since I'm the only one with a degree in this shithole of a town. I let the Plague infect over 700 people yesterday, just to study it, and the town rulers still gave me full authority and emergency powers. Not only am I extensively trained in the use of revolvers, but I have access to the entire arsenal of Griff's warehouses and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable backwater traditions off the face of the earth, you little primitive. If only you could have followed the lines to deduce what your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have stayed in the fucking abbatoir where you belong. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, and it's three times higher than yesterday. Medicum morbo adhibere. You’re fucking dead, emshen.

What I like about Pathologic is that its designed specifically with the atmosphere and the impression it gives.
But game journalists will dismiss this with their 1-dimensional analysis and compare it to Dark Souls if its hard.
Its as if games can only be “art” if its an interactive cinematic setting, instead of an entirely different medium.

It's not really a remaster. It's more like reimagining with better gameplay and some new story lines.

The shitbird that did the RPS review actually did a second review, after the ezmodo patch.
The tl;dr was "Yeah, this game is interesting, but it's too hard." Nothing functionally changed about his review.
William Adams
the mental image of a pathologic game made by ubisoft is enough to make me sick

Adrian Lopez
She's a depressed arthoe.
To be clear: I don't know if that's IPL's intentions. But she's a ditzy blonde that's half-naked and talks unironically about stargazing.
She was constantly trying to fuck big-city dandy Chadchelor in the first game, too.

It's funny since the review of the first game that's hosted on RPS and was written somewhere around 2008 is probably the best review for Pathologic.

To be fair, tan is objectively the best probiotic in the game, and a direct GI infusion is the most efficient immunity booster out there.
Matthew Robinson
I was almost able to save everyone on my first attempt, only one of architect brothers died on my watch. And only because I was a shmowder jew. Then I finished the game with like 6 shmowders still in my inventory and I felt bad for that guy.
Nicholas Gray
I really do wish their publisher at least helped in any way to push pathologic 2. They should've marketed it as something like getting over it with great writing. Anything to get its name out there.
They're one of my favourite indie studios that consistently make games I enjoy. ;_;

So, uh, is the bull a good investment /biz/? I keep thinking it's bait.

Okay, but how many shmowders did you have in the waning hours of the day he died?

Guys can we talk about the most important thing about this game?

I was sitting on 4 schmowders, and I wanted to use on on him the next day as I was sure his district was going to get hit by plague at midnight again. He got killed by unlucky roll tho
I was hunting for kids to trade schmowders with like a wild animal. Even while I was moving from one quest location to another I was scavenging every single bin in search of tradable shit.
Also there's a metagame trick - you can reset kids around playgrounds if you go far away from it, and then come back. Do it enough times, and you will eventually start seeing kids carrying schmowders.
Gavin Lopez
I think it’s more everyone in gayman YouTube respects Mandalore for being genuine and making videos on whatever he wants so they’re drawn to people like like and Sseth compared to lootbox shills
Tyler Cruz
Why didn't you just reload the save? What in the actual fuck?
Brayden Foster
Well, I wanted to accept the consequences of my decisions. The game felt better that way. I remember other anons were playing it like that too. I took a risk and I paid the price. Moreover to save schmowders I risked with way more lives than just Stamatin's, and because I decided I won't be rolling back on my decisions every midnight felt really meaningful and stressful.
Cameron Wright
The void had a meaning. But Path 2 doesn't have a meaning, it has a question. It's essentially the question asked at the end of the theatre sequence at the end of the game but extended to the entire game.

There's a structure right next to it that's defying gravity nigga, don't think too hard about it.

Don't bother, I've been testing it and it seems for some characters it just doesn't matter what you do. It does change since when I first played Anna got infected but Peter didn't only for the opposite to happen next time, but whether it's set in stone from the beginning of a run or day I don't know. All I know is I tested it and
>Sometimes characters just don't get infected no matter what
>Sometimes giving them something for their immunity prevents it
>Sometimes that doesn't do shit and they get infected no matter what you do
I recall testing this once where no matter what Big Vlad always got infected on one day regardless of what I did.

I will empty you the fuck out with precision dissection the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit about me over the Districts? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of butchers across the Termitary and your location is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and all it will cost me is a fingernail. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of Bad Grief and I will use it to its full extent to hound your ass back to the Capital, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comments were about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.

can Yea Forums redpill me? this game is my GOTY and ive known about it for a couple years, having played like half of bachelor's route beforehand, it was just so hard to follow all the themes and what was going on, i still have questions that i completely forgot the answer too like how it all started in the first place, why the kin were locked in, etc. etc.
but god dman, it was so FUCKING GOOD, i can twait for sul matul to make a video explaining everything so i can appreciate all the themes and messages and allegories better, cause im too autistic to get any of it right now, what the fuck do you mean by the cathedral produces time, georgiy? what the fuck?
Wyatt Long
I think pathologic devs think people are intelligent
Sliders aren't going to cut it, it's a fucking slider man, too difficult for normal people, it needs to be a binary option, and hell forbit it's too many binary options, some preset difficulties should have been done even, thinking on the most retarded possible guy as the easiest option
I think the devs don't understand why some people play survival games, it's back to dayz, it's not about survival at all, it's about looting some OP shit that will make 'seem' that you have an edge, and the gambling aspect that you may not get it at all and still win over someone who has the edge, that's the dopamine binge, there is actually a lot of different types of survival players, those who actually care about ironman tough decision survival stuff, others who just care about persistence, others who care about the dopamine binge from looting and the edge
I really enjoy the feeling of everything going to shit because of the plague but it's waay too highbrow for 99% of the people who play who are dumb as shit and don't even know where their satisfaction come from so if they feel the game is unfair their pain receptors activate in their brain because they don't realize it's a fucking video game done to make you feel in a certain way and become self-aware about that
A lightweight only-story mode should have been added for most people desu

The gunfights and looting is nice, but the survival and interactions are mandatory and might be the best thing in it.
I don't get the people only in it to loot n' shoot.
Wyatt Wilson
>what is a town?
A miserable pile of organs
I think they know that but they don't care. They're not making a game to give you a dopamine binge, they're making a game that stresses you out hard enough that you actually have to make some hard decisions, so that you can see for yourself the kind of person you'll be when you're stuck between a rock and a hard place. They don't give a fuck about how fun it is as long as it makes you feel something.
We already have enough games about giving you quick shots of feel-good. One or two games like this that don't are more than welcome in my eyes.
Leo Ramirez
Well, we didn't deserve a game as good as this, so I'm happy they at least pulled through and gave us the Haruspex, plus I'm absolutely amazed at how well it turned out.
Blame the fucking casual shitters and garbage games journalists.
William Gutierrez
alright.. makes sense considering the abattoir, this part of the conversation i understood, i think.
Evan Jenkins
Chase Lopez
There is a reason why the game is now gaining popularity again now that the gun mods appeared, the unlimited stamina and the traders came back in
don't get me wrong, i really like roguelike ironman games, and pathologic is even better because it puts some drama and context to all of it in a really good way, but most of the money would have come from people just trying a walking simulator enjoying the dialogue and the npc interaction in the first place not the hardcore ironman population
Austin Rivera
yes, like the polyhedron, or fucking with time, i guess
Kayden Martin
>Pathologic doesn't typically lend itself very well to humor
youtube.com
Andrew Wright
Grayson Ramirez
>unlimited stamina and the traders came back in
Yeah, every big streamer/youtuber I saw going back to it is playing with that stuff enabled.
Funny thing was when the unlimited stamina mod was broken, and meant you could do infinite stunlocks by spamming heavy melee attacks on others, and these idiots that don't even know how the different systems interact with each other and don't bother with vanilla to learn the ropes blamed it on the devs.
I hope they don't try to cater to that crowd, keep developing better modding tools for them sure, but make the vanilla game as harsh as possible.

It took me 2 times to get into it enough to actually finish it. As much as I liked it I just wasn't really in the mood for a game like Pathologic at the time, so I just played other shit (Stalker, Rimworld, StarSector) until I was in the mood to come back to it.

This game did a great job making good child characters.
The cathedral is normally empty while it produces time. Then Algya comes into town and sets up shop in there, clearly fucking with the process somehow.
Eli James
It's a single-player game with little replayability. Everyone interested played it to death week of release, which you would already know if you had paid attention to Pathologic 2 threads at the time, you catalog vermin.
Angel Lee
Do you guys think the developers are really doing as bad as you guys are saying? I mean, the core fans probably bought the fucking game, right? That's at least 25000 or something sold. I have 50 hours in it.
Matthew Wilson
Grace is a good girl and deserves all the headpats she can handle.
Charles Cox
steamspy says anywhere between 20000-50000, thats not good. it probably isnt 50k, a lot of copies were discounted (pre order and for owning classic hd)

Carter Howard
i dont know, they didnt market it very well, i didnt see tinybuild pushing it that much, they sent it out to a few youtubers who played classic hd, gameranx even played it (but they're sort of like casuals, i will say they at least treated the game better than the journos did)
grimbeard and mandalore played classic hd so they naturally got copies, i didnt see much conversation stir from grimbeard but mandalore is pretty big, having some videos that have reached a million views, and it spawned this thread and now patho 2 is in (last time i checked today) page 3 of global top sellers? which is even better than launch.
but yeah, right now its kinda in the shitter for sales.

Unfortunately.
Make your decisions. Stop trying to metagame on the first playthrough, you vermin.
Logan Moore
>Make your decisions
Probably should, i was just curious if that was an option since i had to stop playing for the day.
Luis Reed
Your rep will go back to normal after a bit but you'll still take the rep hit from anything you do during that time, so it's not worth it. The Revolver isn't really worth it imo, it's not great condition so it'll jam unless repair and you'll need ammo as is. It can take out someone in two shots or a headshot. Just use stealth (C by default iirc) and get up behind guys and beat the fuck out of them.
TL;DR save your money for more useful shit
Logan Nelson
agreed, you can go the entire game without a revolver, just get a knife and repair it and youre all good, in my two playthroughs i never got a gun, ever. i mean i got a rifle off a dead body but never even used it.
its really not necessary unless youre bandit-farming

He's the Plague, when he wants to appear in cognito but still speak to people.
That was made obvious several times over.
Dominic Sullivan
nuh uh, he's Death itself
he mentions his work is in the line of collecting people, he runs the Dead item shop and expresses an interest in dead things, there's a line about infected people that says Death plays dice with their lives and the very first thing you do on meeting him is play dice, the train you're on with him is carrying nothing but a million coffins, etc. etc.
The Plague is that one executor that taunts you every once in a while, shows you the creepy vision of all your kids being hung, and comes to talk smack whenever you brew up potions.
Parker Barnes
So who is the rat prophet (the floating one with the glowing eyes, not the theater one) supposed to be then? Just a malevolent spirit?

Video is on the front of the games ribbit. It might unironically be saved from this.
Nolan Garcia
How do I get through this game? I really love the atmosphere and the story is interesting but its so hard to get money for basic shit you need like food. Like you have to know exactly what you are doing from day one and maximize every step you take along the way.
its too demanding in menial shit like having to look in evey trashcan you pass in order to accumulate trash to sell which takes away from the focus of the story and atmosphere.
Jackson Bennett
This but unironically, I really want the other 2 routes.
Kevin Cox
There was one time a slender man wearing dark clothes started chasing me while I was in combat. I got out of the district and avoided the actual combatants, but didn't realize this guy, still chasing me, was just a messenger. Took a fingernail boat, hoping to despawn him before he could hit me.
Spawned next to me on landing. Damn near shit myself when the dialogue screen came up.
David Fisher
He still suffer if he sit trought, he mentioned it was hard as fuck even just sitting trought and finishing the video.
Honestly his luck on this was really abymisal.

Elijah Jones
Don't sell every item for money, focus more on barter (especially with kids) and "hobo economy".
Connor Brown
>money
There's your first problem. Barter is more important.
>its too demanding in menial shit like having to look in evey trashcan you pass in order to accumulate trash to sell which takes away from the focus of the story and atmosphere.
I'm going to let you in on a secret. Well, it isn't really a secret, NPCs constantly tell you this, as do the loading screens, the mindmap, the devs themselves, and literally everyone every time this point comes up.
You ready for the spicy non-secret?
That tension, and the decisions you make as a result of it, IS the "focus of the story and atmosphere". When you choose to avoid going through an infected district to immunize people because you'd run out of immunity boosters on the last in-danger NPC and don't want to risk getting infected, you are literally doing exactly what the game wants and expects you to do. When you skip an interesting quest because you're literally starving and need every last waking moment finding food, you are playing the game as intended.
If you absolutely must bitch out, use the difficulty sliders that were added post-launch. Just be aware that, if you lower the difficulty too much, you WILL ruin the game for yourself by making it into a brainless walking sim with performance issues and bugs. You will hate every minute of it and feel nothing for any of the characters, because why would you? The only effort you exerted was putting yourself through the tedium of walking from point A to B to C to etc.
I should write a copypasta making this argument.
Gavin Butler
>money for basic shit you need like food
Ideally you should never be buying food after the first day nor should you be selling trash. Each NPC type will trade certain useful items for certain trash items. For example, kids will trade food for nuts, which can be bought cheaply. Learn who trades what and you can survive without ever entering a store. Make sure to do the hospital quest everyday and keep your reputation high. The Town Hall fund will give you money and food at the end of every day.
Also, listen to .
When characters tell you to stop playing detective and do your job as a doctor, they're talking to the player as much as Burakh.
Sebastian Moore
I just started playing this game, currently in day 2, and I was curious and nervous about a few things.
Does time progress in dialogue menus? I usually take my sweet time reading through what people are saying, and often re-reading it since I have slight OCD tendencies, but I'm always nervous I'm wasting valuable time doing so.
Similarly, does time progress when you hit escape and are in the options menu (but not main menu) Sometimes I'm thirsty or need to go to the bathroom but I'm paranoid I'm wasting the day doing so so I've been holding it in or parching myself so far.
This game is already making me a crazy person and the plague shit hasn't even gone down yet.
Luke Perry
Time doesnt progress in menus or in dialogue, but it does when you’re looting.
So you better watch your back once the plague hits.
Anthony Foster
No. No.
Enjoy the ride.
Time also stops when interacting with your own inventory, but not when interacting with a container, IIRC. So plan your shit BEFORE you move things around.
Joseph Smith
Time only passes when looting. Talking, trading, and dissecting, esc, inventory pauses the game.
Oliver Young
Yes. 3000 is not that much early on if you play your cards right and there's a way to be shitting out bullets without trading much for them. Hint: drink twyrine often and check children's caches, they often have fingernails and bullets.
Jace Stewart
>that hunger meter
Kino. I too almost died of hunger from listening to the longer theatre scenes.
Christian Scott
Yeah I'm retarded as hell.
Tyler Price
>Katerina screams at buildings from the inside
>Maria thinks certain buildings are retarded and wants them demolished for no reason other than "I don't like how this one looks", she's also a massive bitch
>Capella likes roleplaying as her mother
>you're hungry for stale bread, someone shanked you twice, and now you have to deal with this bullshit too
Benjamin Robinson
I forgot how the bachelors run was, but is Maria still a bitch after she falls in love with him?
Aiden Rivera
She does? The last time I played Bachelor was like a year ago, and it honestly seemed more like she was manipulating him to create a better version of the town on the other side of the river.
Connor Gutierrez
I see. I can handle the exhaustion aspect of the game but the food part still sucks though.
Adam Perry
just be glad food doesnt spoil as well
Easton Lopez
Just tested it again. Talked to someone, afk'd a bit and came back. Time didn't pass.
Isaac Ramirez
Food isn't even the biggest problem if you're not a brainlet, I was never in any danger of getting my hunger bar filled and I played through the game twice. The biggest issue is time and stamina management, and later on herb/tincture management for the potentially infected. If you don't want to fuck up hard later on, I suggest you stockpile and fill out as many water bottles as you possibly can, shit gets fucking hectic fast.
If you're running short on food you're probably not doing enough bartering or searching around. And if you're having issues with this, you'll get fucked over later once shit hits the fan hard.
Angel Hill
>THIRST
literally me when i see my waifu Capella
Evan Morris
How does it make you feel that Khan gets to bang this every night?
Nicholas Nelson
She's a fictional character so it doesn't really make me feel that much. There are women who look like her in Europe though, she's kinda realistic looking.
Ryan Reyes
why can't I save her bros
Jose Scott
Same reason you can't save real-life Marion Silver's.
Caleb Mitchell
harlots dont need salvation
Julian Perez
She lives in Haruspex's route in P2 tho, unless you somehow got her ass infected and didn't cure her
Austin Howard
He posted a screenshot of The OG Title, though.
Kevin Sanchez
She’s brain dead
Justin Edwards
She jumps because she's retarded, I've embraced the new slavic P2 hotness.
Brody Brooks
>only one sock
what a slut
Jack Bailey
Yeah, the sock is kinda weird, it's not really hot as much as modern socks are
Eli Cooper

Is there any way to disable the fire lighting? I play on a potato and wherever there's fire my framerate dies completely.
The abattoir was so unplayable I had to enable cheats or I couldn't fight at all. But when I went there on a dream (there were torches but their orangish light was disabled) it run "fine". I also have to flee from flamethrower people because every time they shoot I have time to go make some coffee.
Cooper Sullivan
>illicit gambling
Really?
>game runs fine in a dream
I don't know why I have the exact opposite problem. Which is a lie, of course, I have terrible performance everywhere, but five times worse in the dreams.
Jordan Cruz
I watched a review of it and it looks even better than the first one.
Dominic Rogers

Put your ear to some worn out sandals, and you'd have faster answers. She's old, incompetent, and doesn't actually have the sigh!
What a stupid actor
Jace Gray

>agreed, you can go the entire game without a revolver, just get a knife and repair it
Just farm lockpicks nigga I had my closet full of twyre and lockpicks fuck knives.

Thank you Twitter drawfag

I bought the game and am installing it now, ganbatte Slavbros
Benjamin Hill
Eyyy cyka
Evan Thomas
Hope lives
Chase Nguyen
Do you play with everything on low like me? Maybe if not at low dreams have some fx or something.
For me it's just the fire. The rain lowers my framerate a little too but the fire makes it completely unplayable. It took me almost an hour with immortality and increased speed to complete the abattoir. My laptop was boiling.

He said a lot of initial funding for IPL came from money he had lying around from playing poker, adding that he was very good at it and very glad he got out early
Xavier Turner
it won't. not with 200k views on a single video. you need a shit ton and I mean a shit ton of e-celeb vids with >200k views to generate a substantial amount of sales. most people watch these types of reviews for:
1. the entertainment value
2. in jokes in case they've played the game
barely anyone watching such videos is going to actually buy it, maybe like 1% or 2% of the viewers best case scenario, and after that you need to remember that some of them actually mean ill and will leave positive reviews, or won't like the game and refund it

Caleb Thomas
Is that the full pic?
Asher Martinez
Sseth revived Starsector a few weeks ago with a ton of sales and this video has tons of comments of people saying they’re buying/bought it. I think it’s not going to top a chart but it’ll make a significant difference when their sales were so horrible.
Zachary Powell
Dunno, what's image search say?
Lucas Garcia
>a ton of sales
[citation needed]
>tons of comments
1k comments out of 990k views is not a ton
>make a significant difference
it might help but it won't be a significant difference
Ethan Fisher
You'll find that 1k is quite literally a ton.
Josiah Price
StarSector is unknown, doesn't have the massive not-fun-to-play shackle IPL games have, and its sales aren't directly funding the games completion.
Also, your understanding of volume is laughable.
Christian Bell
Which is the truth or lie i can never tell.
Tyler Roberts
IPL is also Russian and their economy/wages are in the shitter. A new influx of foreign dollars even from a video a not giant eceleb made could fund some months of work.
Christopher Richardson
not before every backer got the shit they were promised
Xavier Nelson

>tfw want to try the game, because of all the threads I see, but whenever I try to play it, I feel dumb as fuck and lost and confused
Camden Nguyen
How does it feel knowing that ipl is pretty much done for?
At best we'll get the other 2 routes, but the chances of a brand new original game that's on the scale of pathologic/the void is almost 0
I hate this
Brody White
Logan Wright
That's the game doing what it's supposed to do. The situation is awful and chaotic and unpredictable, you're supposed to feel lost and confused.

PROTIP: the reason Reddit gets so much attention here isn't because Reddit is popular, but because there is heavy comorbidity between Yea Forums and Reddit usage.
Joseph Jones
Do we make a new thread? I don't want it to end and this is also a peak time to generate more interest in our play.
Noah Evans
I'm fine with that as long as I get the other two characters. I don't know enough about the cold to really be upset about it.
Jacob Phillips
His most popular videos have over a million views, do you think those are all exclusively Yea Forums users?
John Phillips
Are you this much of an invertebrate without the guise of anonymity?

IT'S NOT FAIR
THEY FUCKING DELIVERED; THE GAME'S REALLY GOOD.
THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING, WAS IT ALL FOR NOTHING!?

Had a quick look at the thread, mostly people saying the games good and shitting on the journos being mad that that the art game isn't easy as fuck or cinematic like God of war.
