I hope you all realize the "good" ending with shoedog and Rabies going off to explore infinite universes is going to tie in to the next game somehow.



The title screen even has the same dumb loving gear sword.

Wasn't that also the title of one of the chapters in the first game? :v:

And nice work with the alternative ending, Blarg. Much better than the developer's wanking "good end" of the game.

It's a dragon coyote thing whose creator paid Klace to make it the Grand Inquisitor and main antagonist. Creator also paid a few dozen artists to draw said thing having relations with non-sentient animals.

You forgot Kila! Unless dead stays dead. gently caress Kila.

But thanks (???) for playing this game and showing it to us. The fact that this was Kickstarted successfully and sold on Steam for a profit shows this world is as unfair as Rabies is.

For a future that "would never experience loss and suffering again", death sure still is a thing that exists.
Also, the author went and brought Phidget's mom back, but didn't even touch Max and Acheron's dead sister who got brought up just as much and was even plot relevant in the motivational sense?

Nice job with the video. My thought when Nami and Nagi wanted to break out and kill the god of the universe was they'd pop out of the computer and stab Klace, but then I guess they'd be here and no one wants that.

Considering a previous question, Velasquez is the Wesley Crusher.

People might fawn over Klace’s memory. But he's dead and/or offscreen 99.9% of the game, and just a pop idol.

Everybody gushing over how much of a super smartypants wonderful person Velazquez is in the meantime? It’s him, it’s totally him.

Every stupid hosed up moronic plan and explanation of his. How practically everything is his fault (not like ‘the Federation has an energy crisis!’ is really given any depth). But people will still go on about how wonderful he is for building a lovely barely functional bar/DMV in memorial to the people he purposely murdered to create rabies. As step 17 in a 97 step plan of :psyduck:

So what happened to Max? And their unnamed (IIRC) dead sister? And their parents? Did Acheron murder them before taking over the family business?

Also, is Terra still Furry Hell or was that retconned? Because it makes no sense considering all the federation and dimension-creation bad sci-fi bullshit and it honestly seems like Klace just sort of forgot about it, except for that one line from Nagi.

Holy poo poo, you're right. The parallels are exact.

How the gently caress did Klace never stop and realize how pants on head retarded/insane he made every single "clever" character? How do you do that on accident? Are we sure this whole game and Klace's whole Internet persona aren't just an elaborate troll?

So there was only one winning can after the universe was changed? So... Rabies' can WAS just cheated in by time loop, and Singe and Co said "hey, two people won, obviously one of them is a fraud since we only made one can but what the hell?"

Max got erased from existence even though in that timeline she hadn't done anything wrong. Dammit, there was no need to have Acheron replace her! If she'd been redeemed it would have closed out the character! Whose fursona was she?

I dread to think what this game could do to the mind of someone who had been thinking of writing a VN but didn't because they couldn't make it sufficient quality..

Blarghalt, if you have not erased this from your HD forever, could you please show Reiyo's other responses to entering a character's name as the player name?

So wait, everyone gets a super happy ending, but Konrad and Endymion just never meet? Weren't they like best friends? Doesn't it kinda defeat the point of reviving him if they become strangers to each other? I guess hoping for common sense is too much for this game.

And Konrad gets a job waiting tables at a bar, where he remains until the end of his days

And Singe manages a super cool band, where he remains until the end of his days

And Inumi becomes a dancer, which he remains until the end of his days

And Righty becomes king, which he remains until the end of his days

And Endymion becomes a galactic CIA agent, which he remains until the end of his days

( I put that "..." in italics for emphasis fyi)

Sooo many things this story does that just are not done in storytelling, you know? Things that real writers just know not to do, because they make stories stupider and more tedious. Things like "don't introduce a character for a single scene and then never refer to them again". Or "don't draw attention to some aspect of someone's name unless it means something to the story". Over and over and over, it's like an encyclopedia of cargo cult fiction writer no-nos that nobody else had ever had any need to write down or explicitly warn against because who would ever even think to do them. And capping all of them off is "Don't give us every single character's future life story from the ending curtain on, if the only thing you're going to do with them is basically make them live out a static life of whatever lovely job they're doing or want to do right when we leave them, as though no person ever changes throughout their life or gets new friends or interests or careers". Either you give us a brief and interesting synopsis of "where are they now", to make it feel worth it knowing who these people are and how they've finished up their character arcs and how it might reward them in terms of their lives and goals... or pull the curtain across the scene and let their stories be over.

It was nice to see all the characters again to be reminded of how poorly designed and conceived they all are. A final dumb sparkledog send off into the void. Which is where this game should be thrown into, preferably while screaming.

Thanks for the LP. The "True Ending" makes it all worth it...kinda.

Man. That was bad. I think honestly the worst thing I've ever seen!
I'm sure Klace will somehow prove us wrong with his next game though, the bar can always be lowered!
EDIT:
Also the title of the game being "Major/Minor" was never once brought up, referenced, or in anyway relevant to the game. I know not every game's title has to tie into the actual plot, somehow, but just what kind of title is "Major/Minor" when it just doesn't make ANY sense as a title, and isn't even some kind of in-universal term or something!?

I can't for the life of me even tell what's better about the "good" ending vs the "bad" one

In both cases the future world still has war and death and tedious politics and poo poo; it's like, in the good one everyone just meets each other again for the first time and Rabies never existed?

I'm going to guess that the title is supposed to refer to music and that the band was originally meant to play some critical role in the story (probably because Klace had played Ar Tonelico the night before coming up with it). Then the whole idea was forgotten, just like every other aspect of the game's story.

Why does the bar/immigration office exist in the good ending if the Exodus project never happened? I thought he built it as a sort of "Well, I hosed up. Sorry. Have booze." Which also didn't make sense to begin with either, but...

I like that Eddie doesn't get to come on the tour to look after his dying brother, and rabbit-mum only exists offscreen, because obviously Klace can't pay for artwork of characters that only turn up in the epilogue for one of the endings!

Except his own self insert, of course. Gotta have art for that gently caress.

Out of all the things wrong with these trainwreck endings, my brain is hung up on one thing which, coincidentally, is wrong in both of them.
