the modern warfare 2 thing was mostly an infinity ward protest against activision having treyarch make call of duty 5. it's also why mw2 has the number 5 everywhere

I've gotten to 30 in Obra Dinn. And some names for people who disappeared. Do I just leave those people as unknown? It seems the majority of people I have left are currently unknown. Am I going to get to a point where the plot moves on once I've ID'd the people that I know there cause of death? I kinda feel like I'm just going to have to start guessing soon.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


There is not one single disappearance in Obra Dinn that you have to guess, the information is all there, although some leaps are required for a few of them.

Once you lock in every single person you can deduce from the available evidence the game will move on and give you access to one last chapter

Once you have seen every fate the game will give you the option to leave the ship. Until then you don't actually have to figure anything out. You can leave and get the bad ending any time after that but for the real ending you must fill in everything except the clearly marked missing chapter.

People who disappear just mean that their bodies never existed on the ship or in a memory for you to find so you have to deduce what actually happened to them by observing carefully.

Some of them require you to really put together info you get by looking around the ship in places where the event isn't happening. Like, on the floor below a murder scene, you might see a dude helping out some other dude and hear one of their names and then knowing that must be the dude's assistant or whatever

Well gently caress. I'll pick it up again tomorrow. I'm just not seeing anything for the disappeared. I could just choose ate by monster but didn't really see it.

It's not too difficult usually- just go to the final scene they appear in and work out what's happening to them that they never show up again. There's only one I can think of that this method doesn't work for.

I played it on release so my memory is pretty foggy but I remember it being pretty generous with how to describe deaths with multiple options or even less specific ones working if you're in the ballpark.

I hope that the way Obra Dinn ended leads the way to more games in that series, the same kind of investigative gimmick but in other situations.

one of my favorite ones the guys who get killed in accidental cannon fire during the monster attack- you can say "killed by an explosion", "killed with a cannon by a terrible beast", or if you want to be super loving anal, you can actually blame the guy who lit the fuse for killing them with a cannon- and in the insurance report at the end, that poor bastard gets stuck with the fine for killing two crew members

The insurance report is fuckin brutal - the Fourth Mate deserves to be hailed as a goddamn hero like some of the others (third mate, Carpenter, etc) but because he kills one guy - despite said guy being a mutineer and murderer - he gets a big ol fine.

e, Obra Dinn spoilers: also if you don't take the rare opportunity to use "decapitated" for the 4th Mate blowing that guy's head off with a point-blank pistol shot, come on

i just realized on my second playthrough of ori and the blind forest that it has a death count on the pause menu, which is very impolite

i can see why the iron-man trophy for this game has like a 0.6% completion rate

This is just a reminder to all of you that the adventure video game Bad Mojo, the game about playing as a cockroach in a dirty apartment building, is oddly heartwarming and uplifting assuming you work towards getting the best ending.

I've been seeing facebook ads recently about this game that appears to be Kafkaesque as well
