Too bad Mandalore's video came so late (according to his twitter he had literal fluid leaking from his spine, so that's understandable) and even though some people may buy the game like they did Classic HD after his video on that, it's still too far removed from the release now. IPL have lost some staff, there's no word on next campaigns or the game's sales figures or anything after that one difficulty patch, so I don't think we'll ever see Bachelor or Changeling, or hell, even more IPL games. Sucks desu.
>Anyone in this thread wanna explain why the game called "incredibly niche"? I watched a few reviews and I don't get it
It has a lot of systems going on, the original game had poor English translation making the already complex plot even harder to follow and it's generally not holding your hand at all. Journos can't get into it because it's not a walking sim, the publisher sucks and doesn't want to engage in marketing and people don't know about the game. This is the industry as of now.

It's a walking simulator that actually requires careful planning to not outright die to the survival aspects of the game, and has writing that is obtuse and dense as part of the game's appeal.

In other words, it scares people who like walking sims and can't actually play the game because they're too bad at it, and bores the more typical hardcore neckbeard who gets board with reading a novel or two's worth of Russian surrealism.

If nothing else, it's clear they're keeping the true meta reveal from the original game, so seeing the new, possibly expanded presentation could be neat.

They're adding a Marble Nest DLC already. They're still working on it.

||Herniated disc from carrying a sofa||

>Grimbeard
Based. Though his review of Pathologic 2 gets into this weird territory of him going "if you find the game too hard, lower the difficulty, it's fine to play it like that", when literally everything in the game is made to accommodate the standard difficulty. I just found this point of his somewhat disrespectful to the devs and their vision.
>What the fuck happened to him?
>Last update. I’ve got a pretty severe herniated disc and am leaking spinal fluid, and I’m trying to get through it with physical therapy rather than surgery because that’d put me down for much longer. I’ll be staying quiet until I can post the video since medical news is boring.

Why do you do this? Do you WANT to set false expectations?
Given the base game's ending and the Bachelor being the character of the MN demo, it's a safe assumption, but you should still be clearer, more detailed, when you spread information like this.

>Marble Nest DLC
Oh shit. Could this be Bachelor? I don't see them simply adding the original Marble Nest demo as a DLC just for funsies. This has to be something more substantial.

>"if you find the game too hard, lower the difficulty, it's fine to play it like that
The difficulty might turn some people off so maybe it's okay to sell it to people like this.

He herniated a disk, probably by lifting somethign improperly. Possibly just a genetic issue triggered by bad luck. "Leaking spinal fluid" is just a meme that means that your back ain't in proper order, it's not going to kill you. One of the disks in his spine partially popped out and is putting pressure on his nerves.

It will be unbelievably painful for 6-12 weeks and totally prevent you from enjoying anything, and surgeries are largely pointless because they have a high failure rate and even when they succeed are generally crippling. Usually, they fuse the disks affected together -- and your spine is not really meant to have discs fused together. Loss of mobility -- you can't bend disks that are fused, after all -- is generally the least of the bad side effects.

Why are so many animefags drawn to this game btw? Is it because japan is adjacent to russia?

Uhh, user? 4channel is a weeb website.

I agree that this might sell more people on the game, but saying that it's fine and valid is wrong in this case IMO. It's like telling people to play DMC or God Hand with cheats or whatever - sure, they may try it out then, but they won't be getting the intended experience.
Obviously I'm not applying this position to all games, just those that are built with being "difficult" or "stressful" in mind. If you remove that, you're playing a different game.

DMC or God Hand are well built though, and IPL cannot design a game for shit outside pompous dialogues.

Wut. The original Pathologic may have been wonky as it was their first game, but P2 is balanced amazingly well - you struggle just enough to feel stressed out, but not so much as to get frustrated and drop the game (unless you're a journo), bugs and crashes notwithstanding.

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.

Should I play the first game before this one? I'm currently downloading it.

Who left IPL apart from Alphyna?

Not really. I did play Bachelor in classic right before starting 2 but it isn't necessary. Some shit gets explained to you more since Haruspex is from the town, just been gone for 5 years so people don't explain some shit as much about it to him then Bachelor, a outsider. 2 works as both a sequel and a remake, since it starts with the worst possible outcome and essentially resets the whole thing.

>What day does he talk?
The last day, I think. Meaning Day 11, as Day 12 is limited.
>So, am I meant to play both the remake and the HD remaster? Which one do I start with?
If you want, you can try out the original game, but it's hard to get into if you're not a fan of weird arthousy games or a Russian. The remake is fine for a first taste, and seeing as how the other 2 campaigns are unlikely to come out, you may play the original after 2 just to see the other stories if you like.

>excited because video is longer than mandalore's
>more rambly and suggests to adjust the difficulty anyways despite understanding developer's vision "in concept"
ehhhhhhhhhhh

Why?
It's not really necessary, only do it if you want. And even then I'd only suggest Bachelor since he was the most complete, and 2 currently only has Haruspex as is.

>Why?
It's trapping his girlfriend's soul.

>more rambly and suggests to adjust the difficulty anyways despite understanding developer's vision "in concept"
Grimbeard's videos are usually fine (especially now since he's stopped with his little "im so depressed" skits), but that point in the P2 video rubbed me the wrong way something fierce. At least he was favorable towards the game otherwise.

The devs know that. Check the artbook.

Mindlessly clutching to stale memes has a direct, negative effect on the quality of content posted on Yea Forums. More importantly, the potions video was literally NEVER funny.

Because those "tweaks and updates" would be a waste of dev time, and it's already available for free.

>It'd be a nice inclusion if it gets some tweaks and updates
What would be the point? The demo was fine as is, aside from the unfinished town. Sure, you can't download it officially from their site anymore, but why waste time on an already produced free product available on third-party sites after MONTHS since the release?

And you expect them to have made a full character release in this time??

It'll be Marble Nest with some updates, probably with a patch at the same time.

you shouldn't take rehersals that much seriously actor

Attached: 1559256655654.jpg (641x799, 117K)

Survival games usually have shit mechanics, no one really likes it nor considers it "survival", because there's no tension, nothing at stake, and it's just linear. Pathologic is essentially a point&click adventure game, except with survival and in time attack mode, and that certainly ups the stakes.

Don't be too hung up on the survival aspect, it builds slowly, and it varies as time passes, you could try to get your hands on food, later on a gun, then on medicine, there's no fixed objective, and it affects the story.

>And you expect them to have made a full character release in this time??
That mysterious DLC is not released yet, so we don't know how much more time they'll spend on it. Even so, it's been 3 months already, so a part of the team not busy with patches or whatever could very well be engaged with the Bachelor route seeing as the town is fully done, the characters and assets are available, so it's a much easier task than the first route.
I don't think this DLC is a new route either, but it could potentially come out quickly if they are indeed making the second campaign. Not in 3-4 months, sure, but like 6-9 months seems reasonable.

I never played the demo. How long is Marble Nest?

>And you expect them to have made a full character release in this time??
I know you're an idiot, but you shouldn't assume everyone around you is, too, Rubin. They've made it clear that, at the very least, the Haruspex and Bachelor campaigns were developed in parallel, and the game assets are already done. Bachelor was probably already mostly done at the time of Haruspex's release. Meanwhile, the association of Bachelor with the Marble Nest demo means it'd work as a marketable title for the DLC release of a new campaign.
>probably with a patch at the same time.
That's insane. They haven't put out a patch in two months. What the fuck would they even update, at this point? The performance problems are something they've been dealing with literally the entire dev process, plainly dating all the way back to the original Marble Nest release. Why would you assume this? How disconnected from the financial reality of IPL do you have to be to think they'd put dev time on a patch that will have no effect on sales, and a re-release of a free tech demo that will have no effect on sales, instead of release of a new campaign?
I've seen some doomposting, and contributed to it plenty myself, but this is full-on "Bannerlord is vaporware" tier, what in the actual fuck are you talking about, Jesus goddamn fucking Christ on a crutch, the nerve of some anons, I swear it's like you don't even have a brain in your cotton-filled, stitched fucking heads, noises trailing off as I walk away and wildly gesticulate.....

>How long is Marble Nest?
I didn't finish it, but I think it's a single day, so like 1.5-2 hours to complete. Depends if you fuck around the unfinished town much.

Would most of the writing be done already before that chick had left?

Wasn't she responsible for translation overview and fluff text like item descriptions and shit? I guess even if she wasn't done with the new script, it's not like hers is a major part of it either way.

The Void is streamlines and, as some say, dumbed down.
Turgor has twice as much text, so sisters actually tell what they stand for in a nice poetic language. The Void has 'at your face' voice of color. Also, it removes all the ambiguity the game setting and your situation have.
Mechanics are far less polished but arguably deeper, too.

It's better than launch day numbers.

It's a glorious day for higher-tier Kickstarter backers, then.

HAVE WE STARTED THE FIRE?

Alright, be honest Yea Forums, how many people bought it today?
I did.

Be honest: why?
Were you not aware it had released? If so, and you were already an interested fan, why are you only learning now? If not, how did you come to hear of it, and why did this interest you enough to buy it?
Most important question of all: have you yet put in enough hours to lock yourself out of a no-questions-asked refund?

Where were these fags when the game came out and needed publicity? Mandalore fucked up his spine, what's their excuse?

No sales = no viewers
It's parasitic and slimy to wait for someone else to do it before doing it themselves, but if it means more sales for the game I'm okay with it

It dropped to page 4 in the last few minutes.
Someone trying to understand the mentality of an alleged fan that just bought a game that is: of a niche developer that's been working on the remake of their fan favorite title for literally years, and whose release of said title was almost three months ago.
I don't mean to sound like an asshole, but it's honestly so bizarre that I find it more likely you're some sort of insane Mandalore Astroturf, even though I can't deny the uptick in sales.
I'm just trying to understand. Please be patient, I have autism.

it's on page 2 of regular topsellers
global doesnt really mean shit if majority of the people buying it are westerners that actually understands english

Weird gatekeeping homie and pretty racist too, but I guess that's normal under communism.

Imagine Marble's nest as a tutorial section of the Bachelore's route, just like we had tutorial section in harusex route.

This guy's not really that big it seems. He did a video on The Void but it's only got 274k reviews. Then again the void would be even more obscure then Pathologic.

see It's already dropping.

>still haven't answered the question
Were you not aware Pathologic 2 had released, despite the dozens of threads following release and the fact it was released decades ago in Internet terms?

Who are you?

Global Top Sellers =/= Top Sellers. It's stupid but how Steam organizes it. Basically it's selling exceptionally well in English land right now.

Just saying that majority globally doesnt even understand english, so you can expect most sales coming from North America and Europe.

user why are you getting this worked up about it? ffs I had only just finished Bachelor in Pathologic and hadn't even realised 2 was out about a week after release. The game had piss poor marketing, I only found out it had released through Yea Forums.

Why is this other user so far behind? Does that not at all seem strange to you?

>tfw that's not enough to save the game
They had a successful Kickstarter, they shouldn't have had so much trouble finding a publisher for further funding or with prolonging the dev time (the Kickstarter was in 2014).

It's not rocket science retards, be glad that people are interested in your game. There is only handful of people that bought witcher 1 on release, or stalker on release or pathologic 1 on release.

I want to think that it wouldn't be happening in the first place if there was no chance of it being good.

This is a bizarre non sequitur, but I speak in good faith, so I will answer your questions, anyways.

That goes against Nikolay's shaman mumbo-jumbo. You see, in Patho1, the key NPCs are represented by photos of professional actors, but the playable characters who have it worst, are the devs themselves:
Haruspex is Nikolay Dybovsky, because the way the game was originally conceived, he was supposed to die more than anyone else.
Changeling is Alexandra Dashina, (then) teenage little sister of their lead artist Meethos.
Bachelor's handsome, handsome face is given to him by their once-game designer Ilya Stepanov, whom Sybovsky reportedly drove away because he is actually unbearable to work with.

In order to be the face of Daniil, Keanu will have to become a part of their studio, Dybovsky won't let 3rd party to be potentially cursed by the game.

I was actually impressed with how well the writers managed to make it so both you (the player) and Artemy grew to care about the kids overtime. Didn't feel forced at all, unlike in other "story" games.

Could someone explain to me why so many women love Pathologic and IPL in general? At least in Poland. I mean, you ask a man what games does he play - in 95% cases he says "FIFA, GTA, CSGO"; you ask a woman the same question - it's 50/50 chance she will say either The Sims or Pathologic. You check the active Polish blog about IPL games - the owner is a woman. You talk with some Polish random about IPL - it turns out you were talking with a woman.
I don't have anything against that, maybe it's only my own experience but it's interesting.

man I wanna BREED Lara, holy shit.

/ss/ only sweetie

Wasn't Rubin interested in her at some point? I recall Artemy telling him in the game that they should get married.

Please post more cute murky

You are now manually remembering the hot cutter that you knew had a crush on you in high school but were too beta to make a move on.
I am now manually remember that time I saw her last night, in a grocery store, while she was with her newest boyfriend and I was alone and keeping my eyes below parallel.

Yeah, taking care of a scruffy dirt-smudged autistic child isn't exactly high on my list of "things I want to do in a video game" but god damn by the time I was even halfway through the game I was ready to murder half the town if it meant keeping her safe.

It helped they didn't do any particular forced "this is your kid now and you love her very much" moment, even the dialogue options let you be as nice or as indifferent or as mean as you wanted to be, same with Sticky.

Artsy games that are often about feelings and like half the devs are women, with a difficulty curve that is easier than most journos claim.

I wanna play through classic HD before touching this one but goddamn moving around is so slow and I get stuck trying to enter some house where a witness to a murder was murdered and seeking more people to talk about that takes forever and time ticks down.

warszafka

Does the game actually explain that containers can be infected too? I forgot.

Move diagonally. Oldest trick in the old-games book.
Classic HD is easier, but mostly because hobonomics are a bit simpler, fewer resources to manage, so you mostly feel a low-grade anxiety tinged with boredom while wandering. 2 is harder, by far, but the greater focus on being the town's garbage collector means you're always busy, instead of just mindlessly walking.

Is there a way of even telling the difference?

and the fact that savescumming is much easier in 1

Unfortunately this game has criminally small amounts of OC, so the best I could find was this tumblr art of Murky looking like a 40 year-old man.

drawers and cabinets look kinda smudgy and dirty, otherwise not really

Infected containers are covered in black sooty looking grunge, it's not immediately obvious if you're not looking for it but once you know what to look for it's hard to miss.

Got infected my first time through because of this, had to be a retarded and rifle through every single cupboard in that one infected house you visit trying to get your dad's house back.

So I saw on youtube that you can Rubin, but how do you do it?
Also, how do you make it so everyone shows up to your childhood reunion in the second or third night? Only Lara showed up for me.

Talk to them all.
There's probably specific dialogue options, but I'm pretty sure I just was nice and kept on-task by reminding them of it, with no bullshit compromises.

If you go to him the Kin find him

To save Rubin you need to make the panacea on day 6
You didn't miss out on the best part of the game right oynon?

I ignored (read: didn't even find) the bit where the Kin are after Rubin and you have to kill them/lead them away and he was fine. Just have your panacea made as soon as physically possible, talk to him while he's sleeping and maybe say some nice things, and he should be fine.

Lara and Rubin are real easy to convince, it's Grief who doesnt feel he has a place.

If I remember correctly: tell Rubin reunion was Lara's idea; tell Grief no one holds a grudge against him.

I did all of that and he still got killed the morning after the night where you speak to him in bed, hence why I'm so confused as to what I did wrong.

I did apparently, did I miss a dream sequence or something?

Speaking of 1, how do I beat up hobo and hoboid squatting on the backyard? Or is there a way to talk them into leaving?

You just kick their ass. It’s the “””tutorial””” for combat.

I forgot that non asian games could have hot women in it.

Attached: 1562422388302.jpg (640x568, 21K)

You don't. It's the tutorial for combat, but the most important part of the tutorial is realizing combat is a bad idea. Unless you're shooting an unaware bandit in the back of the head, but that's not combat, but murder/ethnic cleansing.

>Russian game
It's practically Asian

Meethos, the art director, believes that everyone is beautiful and wanted to show it in the game.

Nah, it's the western half of Russia.
Is this really Meethos' ethos?

Post 3000% KINO screenshots

I'm surprised no one talks about this because I'm pretty sure this was by far the funniest moment in the game.

When are we getting The Bachelor's playthrough? I kickstarted the game so I already have my copy of it but my first playthrough of the original was with Bachelor so I would like my first one of this game be the same.

> Is this really Meethos' ethos?
I believe it was said in one of the early Kickstarter updates.

If you're a backer you should fucking know their situation.
The characters aren't coming unless they got the funding, which they dont, unless the current sales situation has changed that.
In fact, they're supplying the high-tier backers with their rewards first, before money is spent on further development.

>didn't even model a dunce cap for the occassion
YOU'RE SLIPPING, DIBBLESKOWSKI
Speaking of: why do we never hear news from the backers?
Are the publicly-posted updates really all we get? I am of course including the ones that only backers can read, but are still a known quantity to everyone.
Is Layton Funk really just screaming into a void?

there's a clay woman in this thread. I don't care what you say, I know what I know.

Cockatiels!

>If you're a backer you should fucking know their situation.
I kickstarted the game and then pretty much forgot about it.

>Speaking of: why do we never hear news from the backers?
Not much to say to be honest, they don't really give a lot of updates.

>all the autistic arguments I precipitated
>no one but you figured out this post was the basis for it all

IPL can't communicate for shit, it was better way back in kickstarter but as the time progressed they've became more and more silent. I used to chalk it up to the crunch they were doing. But then I realized it's just IPL being IPL, social interactions are just not their forte.

I ALMOST feel bad for Layton.

Don't care about the game, but if I only have to play 2, Mandalore sold me on it and now I am interested

Pretty much what said, at first I would get almost monthly emails from them, but for the last year atleast they've become more rare. I think it's been a couple of months since I last got an email from them.

You can ignore 1 entirely, yeah. Though you can also always go back to it after beating 2, if you want to see what it was like.

2 is more a reimagining of 1. The only real thing you'll miss out on is some shit won't be explained to you as much since unlike the other two characters, Haruspex is from the town. He's been away for 5 years which they use as a excuse to explain shit to him but it doesn't come as often as it would to the Bachelor who is a outsider.

I'm trying man but I just reached the day the plague says "lol fuck you" and two of the kains are infected. The kids did leave a note saying they left Shwoders in the stashes for me, so hopefully my luck turns around since this entire time I only got 1 from those boxes and 2 from the kids on the street. Been a bit since I played but I'm pretty sure I have enough to save the children, but not the other two.

it didn't sell well?

No.

We're not sure. The impression is that it struggled on release.

It's been too long sorry, not seeing anything in my history after a few quick searches for Twitch clips. It was a white guy in a tank top with several thousand viewers

He immediately started whining after a character responded with an actual response that was more than a sentence, and quit out of the game because reading is fucking hard

Maybe this will teach you to not be a dumb consolefag crowdfunder.
The abandoned village.

Oh, I thought you were referring to another. You only get a few from that right? And about 5 from the abbitor?

I wouldn't mind if we didn't end up getting the changeling but I will be really fucking sad if we don't get bachelor. Hes my favorite vidya character of all time.

Let me hit bump limit with some hope.
Look through the Kickstarter updates.
I can 99% guarantee you we will get Bachelor campaign in an at least passable state. It's obvious they worked on it and the Haruspex path in parallel.

I'm still waiting for the penguin version.
And for a decent PC, though this one is not on IPL.
