Khizan posted:The game is extremely text heavy and all the text is displayed in a narrow column on the right hand side of the screen. I highly suspect that playing it in handheld mode would suck pretty hard because of that. i played through it on Steam Deck and it was very good

It is *painful* reading about this game that the lead creators were forced out by an investor. For such an on-the-surface depressing game and experience, you can tell how much love went into building the world, the characters, the art. Reading the art book (or well, a pdf of it. Who has 250 to spare for just a book) it's clear where that all came from and how much more they had to give within this world. I'm sure Robert and gang will keep making poo poo, but that they might be locked out of doing so with a world they developed since they were 15, and is clearly so close to their hearts just sucks rear end. Particularly due to their essays in the book talking about how excited they were to bring us to Jamrock and the other places. There was so much more to explore here and we may never get real sequels or see any of it because the creators are locked out of the intellectual property. Might still check out the sequel, given they presumably did some work on before getting ax'd, but sincerely hope every property and venture in this universe fails and fails hard until they bring em' back. This game is a refreshing masterpiece.

Try clicking all around the button and see if it helps.

Can you do a 1/1/1/1 playthrough of the game where you fail every single skill check, or is it too frustrating from losing too much health and morale?

I did that once plus a no skill point investment run, you have to be very careful regarding the "free" modifiers that let you try again with Titus Hardie's checks and/or the FELD Shivers moment though, as they are mandatory for main plot progression. And what little cash you get is going straight to health, so poo poo like the board games are practically off-limits. Kim can bail you out on all three titus hardie skill checks if you fail at each one three times so you can at least progress the main story. There's also the boring cop thought that boosts all skillcaps to 3 as a workaround for a 1/1/1/1 failcop run

I was reading up on May Bells and it seems like an obvious statement on xxx's horniness but that kind of thing dried up and is bad for people. I'm curious if I'm wildly speculating or missed a certain context.

I think I’ve said this hundreds of times but they hit that perfect balance where’s he’s the responsible straight man to your wacky character but doesn’t just shut you down whenever you start having fun

Best moments of the game are where you're making a drat fool of yourself and Kim decides to actually play along. Like the daba-doop-doop-dead scene or also wishing there was still ice cream in a years-old unused freezer.

One of the first things that really convinced me I was gonna like this game was how quickly and completely Kim shifted from "Oh, a companion in a video game? How long until I can ditch this buzzkill tutorial guy" to "I would kill and/or die for my best friend, Kim Kitsuragi"

Apologies for being real late to this but:POWELL CURES KIDS posted:It pops up in a Shivers check at the very end of the game. Him and the precinct doc are talking about which cops are gonna be down to disco when The Revolution Comes, and I think Price is adamant that Harry is on board no matter which way you play. He actually says that every single cop in the precinct is down, actually...other than their candy-rear end technocrat advisor Trant, may Allah forsake him. My take on that exchange wasn't that the precinct were revolutionaries so much as they had to decide if they were going to continue to keep order during a civil uprising and if so, were they going to act against the revolutionaries or not. I'm unsure if they would actively defend Revachol, but positive they are on the side of Revachol's right to self-determination. They are after all a police force and nominally under the control of the coalition. Even neutrality would be perceived as taking a side.

Or when you ask the girl hanging out on the ice where to score some drugs and Kim thinks you doing a sting and plays up being a youthful guy looking to score some drugs and make a fool out of himself. It's very bizarre.

My favorite part about that scene is thinking the "D" was some kind of alt-history fictional drug, but when he said "diamorphine" I remembered the very important context that "heroin" was actually brand name

Played through this for the first time thanks to receiving it as a gift over xmas. Played it pretty straight up, mostly did murder investigation stuff. By the end of the game, I managed to solve the murder, meet the cryptid, and do a good enough job as a cop that the jackoffs from 41 had to take me back. The street tribunal went completely to poo poo, though. I beefed a 70% hand/eye coordination check somehow; not the worst roll I've ever had, but probably the most impactful failure. Can't help but think I should have chosen the "ceramic armor" thought, maybe that would have helped... By far the funniest thing in the game, at least on this playthrough, is Kitsuragi complaining about how much I was running. I'm doing the video game thing of "hey, the game gives you a run button and no obvious stamina meter; let's just run around everywhere so I can explore more efficiently," and Kitsuragi goes "great, another track and field day." Any suggestions on how to approach a second playthrough?

if you're like most goons you were a sad and maybe boring communist, so try not being those things. pick a stat to have at 6 and lean into it. for example, if the word *bratan* doesn't mean anything to you, get 6 psy, put your horrific necktie on before you even leave the first room, and never, ever take it off. also, help the kids with their dance club and follow that as far as you possibly can

Also do everything the necktie suggests, everything, even if and especially if you don't think you can afford to.

And probably a cult leader.

Kim is just salty because he's got a smoker's endurance. He needs the exercise, especially in his line of work. What he needs is a coach.

Very low intelligence (Logic dump stat), high motorics (Perception signature), low physical and high psy. You're basically the detective from the Pink Panther, oblivious to everything and everyone, bumbling through the case.
