I've been hearing tales of some reviewers getting very snippy about this game, is there a good link to the best of the galaxy brain takes?

Finished it myself. Great game. I take it Harry's history changes depending on what you did in the game? Very beautiful. Very sad.

Arrhythmia posted:Nope. Huh. Btw, I remember hearing how some moderate commentators didn't quite like this game (one of the major reasons why I knew I wanted to get it), does anyone have a good link about them? I could do with a dark laugh.

One thing I really liked about this game was the ways in which the world was different and yet there were enough context clues to get a basic underlying idea of what these differences ARE, e.g. Oranje being not-Nederlands, etc., while at the same time not being stupid? At the risk of sounding stupid (so I'll really try to write this out well), I found this most obvious in the racial slurs that were used in this game. In too many other fictional settings, the slurs are very... put-on; they don't sound realistic, but in this game, even though they aren't used in real life, you could easily imagine the sound, or understand the 'logic' behind them, like loincloth or coin-slot. Its that type of logical inference that's used throughout most of the game, and that makes it really... well-developed, I feel. Who knows, maybe I like it because I have facial hair that is regrettably similar to Harry's.

HerraS posted:The first time I got this I got incredibly sad when Jean loses his poo poo and tells the two cops who keep making jokes about Harry and his problems to shut the gently caress up. It was the first time I saw the phrase 'I don't want to get better, I want to get worse'. Having been in that type of state before that... Resonated a bit too well.

Yadoppsi posted:Agreed on the intentional overlap but was a constraint of the medium being a videogame. Any TV adaption is going to have different material constraints. Has any recent adaption been made with a source being so reliant on inner monologues? A television or movie could maybe get the same effect across in another way. Adaptation? (As in, the actual movie called Adaptation).

paradoxGentleman posted:does anyone know of a screenshot let's play or a liveblog or. something. I wish to experience this game vicariously through the eyes of a newbie. If you want something done from a completely different (but entertaining) viewpoint, you could try ScottyDGaming's take on it if you want to see a very blase Northerner get into the game. Well, I say Northerner, he's a Southerner by my standards. From North England, ok?

ZenMasterBullshit posted:Yeah the innocence are treated basically as gods who can do no wrong because Them being an Innocence means they are history in the flesh meaning their every action isn't moral or amoral it's just What Was Meant To Happen. Even with the nods to Atheism the whole deal is still pulling a lot from religious dogma. I did like how the Innocences were described as being able to bring things about from a non-military standpoint, but the most well known one (Franconegro) is almost synonymous with an elite cavalry regiment.

oscarthewilde posted:i actually read Oranje more like a combination between the Netherlands and South Africa, of course an ex-Dutch colony. In terms of global position Oranje more closely resembles the Netherlands, as a powerful, Capitalist member of the Global North. But in terms of culture and geography, it's much more South Africa (but also the US, the global conflict the mercs were involved with resembles Vietnam as much as it resembles Rhodesia). Oranje is the nation of hardy mercenaries that police the globe by massacring the innocents. Even the description of Oranjese literature felt similar to what I imagine the Boer familial culture to be like. Fighting for your land, for your 'race' and finding dignity in defeat. I've never met a nice Oranjean, and that's not odd at all, bratan, cause they're a bunch of murderous bastards who hate black people.

Edit: oh goodness, this'll probably mean there'll probably be strasserite-cop and fascist-futurist-cop. I look forward (i.e. will hate) to see what happens with that.
