You can probably go 3/3/3/3 and have a decent chance of never really failing at anything substantial, especially if you have metagame knowledge, but it's way more fun if you can and do fail and very much designed around that. A 1 in at least one stat is actually a very good idea I'd say

Yeah, I guess another way to put it is being specialized in some things and a horrible fuckup at others is a recipe for a lot of really fun, good things to happen. There's no wrong cop type except boring cop

Aye Doc posted:i agree except dont ever cheat and do 6666 because its basically the anti-cool playthrough Yeah, I can say from personal experience the cheated all high stats playthrough is weirdly not interesting at all. I kind of approach 3/3/3/3 as the junior version of that, though of course a blind playthrough will still encounter its share of difficulties. It's certainly at its worst only if you know all the game's tricks

I have a very long crash-looking hang on startup, but in my case at least the game's able to recover from it and be normal if you give it a minute.

Accretionist posted:Have the fixed game's most glaring oversight yet: Letting you sleep in the dumpster. Chekov's Dumpster. That was actually patched in like a year ago. You can try, but you die of exposure and get a game over. You also get an achievement. It's basically just an end to the soft lock state you were left in if you couldn't pay prior to that.

I only played a little bit but I find the narrator's delivery very interesting. I would have thought you just couldn't read a lot of lines in DE as bone dry as he does, but it somehow actually works

There are some guides on steam that would probably be useful, the achievements are the same. I think it would basically boil down to trying to navigate conversations trying to hit appropriate distributions as efficiently as possible for the 'say X type of thing Y times' type achievements. If memory serves massive torque dork in particular requires a very specific build/set of actions to hit

I think I sort of knew this abstractly before, but my final cut playthrough so far has really highlighted how almost every red check early in the game gives you something better for failing it than passing. Very very smart & cute design

Yeah, you have to either fail the running away check or don't attempt it at all and then pass an authority check. Depending on how you play it the adjusted amount you owe ends up between like 30 and 100 real.

Randarkman posted:Is Moralism the hardest of the ideologies to actually get points in to trigger the thought? In my first run I triggered the three others pretty early on, but only internalized the communism (and then replaced it later because it wasn't doing me much good), don't think I got close to getting the moralism thought. Hasn't happened in the new one yet either. I've been gunning for it and have had a similar experience. I'm near the end of the first day on my final cut playthrough and haven't had it trigger yet, even though I have passed up approximately one billion dialogue options for the others. My theory is the moralist options are so bland and unassuming that the eye simply rolls right past them

Leon Sumbitches posted:Has anyone written analysis of the themes and messages of DE? It's staggeringly dense with views on a wide variety of subjects, but with the way dialogue trees change based on your build, it seems just a slice is available via any given playthrough. I often find myself recommending what scott benson said about the game (here, bottom of page) as far as brief but on point meditations go. There were also some good longform reflections about the game, it's been a while but if memory serves this is quite nice

Jack Trades posted:Wow, the Final Cut actually removed the broken window Visual Calculus scene? That's good, because I had a lot of problems with it. Specifically because it let's you solve the mystery too fast and then you have to dick around for two days before you get to actually do anything about it. It isn't removed, it just requires a passive check from a yellow skill to be interactable. It confused me as well since I'm doing a 1 motorics playthrough for final cut. Similarly you also can't do the footprint analysis at the crime scene. It's actually a little goofy that so much visual calculus stuff is apparently gated behind yellow skills

Randarkman posted:Can't do the Sherlock Holmes poo poo if you can't even notice stuff. I get it to an extent, but you could make the same kind of argument for most other skills yet the game won't punish you in the same way. In another way I like it in a way because I kind of went into final cut with the theory that motorics was a dump stat if there were any, but the lack of perception is particularly, appropriately rough

Maybe it sticks in the craw particularly for visual calculus because it's an unusual kind of skill that only gets a few but big and fancy places to shine. Locking you out of at least two of the what, maybe 10 tops? flashy uses for it in the game feels a little harsh. I don't feel that strongly about it but it is a little odd of a case

There's been nothing official of course, but having listened to a few talks from kurvitz he really doesn't make much of a secret about wanting to make more games in the same style in the same setting. The game was an extremely huge success so I don't see any reason why it wouldn't happen, the only question is on what timeline.

P2 comes up occasionally. They are weirdly related games in a variety of ways as you noted. The DE-to-P2 crossover prospect is usually tough because you really have to be game for some misery and eurojank with P2. Whereas DE is so relatively polished and pleasurable to play that it almost escapes the eurojank category entirely. That said they are both amazing. DE was my game of the last decade and P2 is probably in the top 5. There is mounting evidence that solving a mystery in a weird town is simply the best game genre

I would also give a shoutout to Paradise Killer as another weird town mystery genre representative worth taking a look at. It's a pretty different style of thing with more of an environmental storytelling focus but also its share of interesting similarities. It's not a classic like DE or P2 but it rattles around in my head occasionally

Sadly but unsurprisingly any such article in a legacy publication has to spend half the word count explaining what a video game is. It might have gotten somewhere a little more interesting than "game good" if it had been able to leave out the preamble
