Sushi in Yiddish posted:Man I'm gonna be thinking about that for awhile "You're still a good person." All this talk about the connection and disconnection between the player and the character in terms of dialogue choices and other actions reminds me of the reception of Spec-Ops in that while some people treated the story as a cool story about the character and you are a bit of a floating conscience/last bit of sanity watching everything crumble, from what I could tell, most treated the story as a bad story about the player and they felt they had been unjustly cheated into making choices they didn't want to. I wonder if there are specific elements that make people bend towards the 'player=character' position and create the whole 'condoning behavior' argument.

FutureCop posted:"You're still a good person." Some games definitely present themselves as letting you make your own character and your own decisions, where even if there are always limits they try to give you enough space to develop your own motivations and justifications for what you do. A lot of games have toed the line in recent years by having characters with fairly strong personalities whom you nevertheless can push in one direction or the other, and the presence of dialogue branches, exclusive decisions (hang out with X or Y), and optional side content might encourage people in thinking they've got more control over the character's development. Basically, "Choice" is the single most loaded word in video games. Interaction is one of the distinguishing features of video games as a medium, particularly as a storytelling one, so every game involves a certain amount of engagement and decision-making from the player. What people imagine when someone offers them "choice" though is this huge, sprawling mesh of misconceptions and influences and trends and hopes all balled together, which is why every forum where RPGs are discussed are roiling arguments about whether the choices were meaningless or not. That's why a lot of games (including probably Nigh In The Woods) get called a Walking Simulator, since even if the player is constantly making choices, unless those decisions are validated by some kind of difference then they're often not seen as real. You could probably make a good video game that was exclusively about exploring and messing with the concept of choice as seen in games so far. Edit: Also the Super Best Friends are funny and so far as I know haven't been revealed to be Nazis yet which puts them above the fold so far as streamers are concerned.

Scott Benson mentioned in an interview on a podcast that the rhythm game segments were designed so that you'd easily mess them up, because Mae canonically is a terrible bass player.

If you 100% perfect all three bass segments you actually unlock the Good Ending where Mae gets her poo poo together and becomes a contributing member of society. Unfortunately, her contribution involves becoming Cthulhu's chosen one and punting her friends down the hole. Edit: For real though if you can do the solo bit in pumpkin head guy I'm gonna have to assume you're possessed and can also spin your head around 360 on command.

I feel like discovering an entire world of LP'ers thanks to this game. Some good, some bad, but the reaction to the game and some of the cuter lines is usually worth it.

Just got the game and am really enjoying it so far. I've had to skip a majority of the thread because it's a mine field of spoiler tags, so apologies if this has been asked before. 1) Is the game worth replaying? I know you have to decide who you hang out with and that locks you into a certain story path. Should I explore both paths by replaying it? For reference, I've hung out with Bae once. 2) Is there a super duper secret ending where you have to press exactly this button, then go here and collect this thing, then spend 4 hours walking left on the second screen to get it? Or can I safely just play the game to completion and see the ending?

There's no secret ending, but there are a few sidestory events you have to fulfill requirements for.

eatenmyeyes posted:1) I'd recommend going with the same person for the first two days. Go with the same person for all three days imo. There is really no reason to do a different for the third, especially since there are usually call backs to stuff that happens in later events and so it'll make the later events with those characters even better. But mostly you'll get a more complete "character arc" by seeing all there is about that one character for a game. Also if you don't talk to Lori M every day, make sure you do that at least in your second playthrough. Not cause you get a better ending or anything, Lori M is just the best, that's all.

Finished the game with Bae. What a good game. The writing is amazing, characters, everything. I ended up rushing through it at 3am to see the ending, something I never do these days. Fantastic.

For me, it's the bassline in Weird Autumn, but since I play bass worse than Mae I haven't actually been able to work it out. Edit: It was actually kind of funny during the game proper to bomb those bass segments and have everyone dump on Mae for being so terrible, while I was thinking "this my best bass-work ever, I was very nearly on beat!"
