hostess with the Moltres posted:I'm on day 10 and wondering if I should use my cures (that I'm lucky to have enough of) to cure as many of the infected kids as I can or if I should try to treat them so they don't just get infected again. But I don't have enough tinctures or infected organs to really cure all of them. Wish I knew the answer too but unfortunately only you can choose here...

I think I'll cure as many of the sick kids as I can. Even if I treated them, there'd still be the chance they could die which is what happened to Notkin, and that just can't happen.

I'm loving this game so far and so glad hbomb did the vid on 1. I also died like a jackass by jumping off the stairs to nowhere in town on day 2 only to get lectured by Mark. gently caress you Mark that wasn't a steep jump you jackass.

Now that I've finally got my PS4 key, one questions before I start: Main game or Marble Nest first?

CottonWolf posted:Now that I've finally got my PS4 key, one questions before I start: Marble Nest is much shorter and more of a mood piece than a full game. I'd say it's fine to just dive right into the main game., but Marble Nest is interesting on its own merits. It will definitely get you in the right mindset for the game.

Is this doing ok on PS4? I can't seem to find any good info on it. I really want them to be able to do 2 more full campaigns, even as paid dlc if they have to, and my last hope is kind of banking of console sales maybe not being poo poo.

Tried shutting the game off before Mark's map loaded but the game increments the death count as soon as it happens. Also the PS4's performance suuuuuuuuucks. Every few feet textures and poo poo pop in. Load times are agonizing. The game often stops for 10-15 seconds to load in sounds like drinking/looting/etc. Even the inventory art often takes a few seconds to draw! Still better than walking my fatass over to the PC, though. Also, yes, I have the PS4 Pro.

Finished a second run through, because it feels appropriate. Can someone fill me in on what Rubin was doing? That is probably the only quest I never got around to doing. The second ending is pretty haunting, but overall I wouldn't really recommend a full second run. Too many of the mechanisms that added to the oppressive atmosphere the first time are just tedious the second.

I'm not sure if you ever actually find out in this game, since in the first game it was part of the Bachelor's story rather than the Haruspex, but from the first game: He is dissecting the body of Simon Kain to try to develop a vaccine. This is why the kin are so pissed at him - he is not a menkhu like Artemy and so this is extremely taboo

Ahh gently caress the PS4 only let's you save 100 times and I've been saving like crazy between my first failed run, my marble nest run and my new run. Pretty great that I now have to close the application without a current save after harrowing through some areas, that's fine, thanks.

Nope, displays a system message and tells you to go to the management app, which will ask you to close the game. Not great.

i'm familiar with icepick's other games and i've had this one on my queue for a while, but i just had a stress dream about this and i'm not even at the end of day 2 the clock and the meter balancing are one thing, but i think what really makes it sink into your brain like a loving corkscrew is its faintly contemptuous apathy towards anything the player attempts to do. it makes you feel like you're loving up even when you're technically meeting your objectives hell i've got two schmowders, no deaths and a knife and scalpel in reasonably good condition, i can't be doing that badly, and yet i spend every minute of playtime feeling like you do when you just barely miss catching a bus and are standing there gasping for breath as it picks up speed down the street Oxxidation fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Mar 28, 2020 |

Sometimes the reward for completing a "quest" is just not worth the effort you put into it, or actively undermines you in some way. So you can end up pushing yourself harder to do "everything" and be worse off for it.

One of my favorite things the game pulls is how in the first three days every single thing Artemiy thinks he did right or succeeded at the game shows that he instead in fact crashed and burned miserably the next day

Oxxidation posted:one from a stash, one from the hide and seek game If you have a leash from a day 1 quest you are also guaranteed to get another Shmowder in the early game by talking to the kids around Khan Economy hint that you may want to use or not: It is positively worth spending as much money as possible on needles and nuts to trade for Shmowders and other medicine, plus needles are useful to repair your clothes, which you will badly need once the plague is out and about. Hint also applies to real life now, I guess.
