Wow so that Jackass fish mission just straight up kills you and ends the game huh? I'm not sure why they thought not having a basic autosave feature was a cool and immersive idea or that giving you a game over without any real "hey we're about to instantly kill you in a game with no autosave" warning would be funny or entertaining, but here we are.

This game seems really great, but with a few bafflingly bad designs here and there that I am amazed any competent studio would make. Not even a basic autosave system in a game made in 2017, the lovely camera often locks into a position where you can't actually see what you need to fight in bosses, poo poo like an instant kill joke ending without any real warning other than a "haha eat this, it might kill you or something".

2B's design is interesting since it's incredibly fanservicey, but it works in a way a lot of similar designs don't. It's distinctive, it suits her character, and it's clearly integrated into the rest of the world's aesthetic. There's a touch of class to go with the excellent rear end.

idk. I feel like 2B could be wearing full stockings/longer skirt along with the better camera POV and it would have the same effect minus the 10000 butt fan arts.

"don't blame me if this kills ya" isn't quite the same as "hey this is 100% going to kill you and is going to make you slog back through the backtracking sidequest you just did because you didn't have the foresight to plan around the game ending on a joke side mission" I assumed something funny would happen and I would move on with the game like with any reasonably developed game.

Jackass is standing literally 20 feet from a terminal. There's no excuse for not saving before talking to her!

Also the only big flaw in this game is that it needed more Jackass sidequests.

Considering the music changes to a super ominous track when she tells you to eat the fish, along with her saying it might kill you, you should probably assume it's gonna kill you. Not to mention the save point literally 10 feet behind you.

I stand by my point that instant game overs as a joke aren't good, as entertaining to the thread as they may be. I look forward to smugly telling the next person to fall for it to save often though.

Are there any major cutoffs for completing sidequests? I like to complete whatever's in my backlog but I usually wind up putting it off a fair bit.

Oh yeah, the endings. Are there any small things I might miss that would lock me out of getting a decent first ending? I'm sure there's some super hard true ending or something that I'll go for on my second attempt, but I just don't want to get locked into a lame one the first time around.

endings f and on are basically joke endings where the credits scroll really fast because you did something horrific or stupid or both

the only missable one involves not dying at a point during a sidequest that you get when you collect & max all weapons (there will be a countdown. let it expire)

You will get all the main endings as long as you keep playing the game. There aren't branches into good and bad endings that you earn during the main story.

You'll be able to go back for sidequests and jokey side endings that you might have missed eventually. There's only one ending that's possible to miss, and you almost certainly won't stumble upon it or lock yourself out of it accidentally. e: yeah listen to exploded mummy about it.

I don't really have an opinion on them one way or the other, you just said you didn't think there was any concept art so I posted some.

When I found out Anemone had art I figured Jackass would have some too, so I was surprised to learn she didn't - or at least that none of it has been leaked yet.
