Oh hells yes! I've been fascinated by this game ever since I saw a compilation of some of the cutscenes in the game (probably most people's first exposure to the game, and I bet you know exactly the one I mean). From what little I know of it, this game is gonna loving go places.

HAST THOU SEEN 'WEEKEND AT BERNIES'? BECAUSE YOU MAY WANT TO. NO, NO REASON WHY BUT TIME IS SOMETHING OF A FACTOR HERE"

TurnipFritter posted:The whole vibe of this game feels very "90s OAV series that got chopped up and recut as a single 96 minute film that aired on SciFi Channel's Saturday morning anime block" Yeah, there's something about the very specific strain of weird sci-fi and cyberpunk anime that cropped up in the 80s and 90s that has a very unique feel to it. It's difficult to explain, but if you've encountered it, you know exactly what I mean.

Okay, this is the point where I had to know what this game was about. Kamen Rider-esque antmen that blast perfectly rectangular holes in people? Women with gigantic Hulk Hogan arms obviously attached via surgery? MAD SCIENTIST HITLER?! Yeah, the bits with a machete-wielding Santa had my interest, but here's about when they got my attention. And that's just the cutscenes, I can only imagine where the in-game scenes go.

There was something of a rush to capitalise on the new hardware at the time: the step up in power from the 16-bit to 32-bit consoles was arguably the biggest step forward in gaming before or since - the PS2 looked better than the PS1, the Gamecube looked leagues better than the N64, and so on but neither of those really allowed devs to completely invent new styles or genres of gameplay literally never seen before. So, in order to get cash for increasing development costs and get new projects off the ground to begin with, there were a lot of games that received redesigns/revisions/upgrades on the PS1 and Saturn. It was really more of a Japanese phenomenon, however, since, in the West, Sony, at least, had policies in place to make sure that games trying to do that had English dubs where applicable, a certain percentage of new content, etc. Sega, I believe, were more lax about that sort of thing, and towards the end of the Saturn's lifespan (and basically all the Dreamcast's life), would consider releasing anything in the West, since they were desperate to get some kind of an edge over Sony. But since the Playstation may as well have been the only game in town, it didn't amount to much.

So, guess what I was lucky enough to pick up this weekend as part of a visit to a retro/import games store? I also got a shitload of other games, but Linda's been on my list for a while. And they had three copies. So let me assure you all, this game is not an elaborate hoax!

Linda Cube The Game: fairly light-hearted wackiness with some oddly disturbing scenes (anything involving Sachiko in this route, for example), And Mad Scientist Hitler for some reason, still not sure why that's a thing. Linda Cube The Advert: "You haven't even begun to comprehend the things we will make you afraid of. When Silent Hill has nightmares, we are what it dreams of. We will dwell in your mind and make it our own until you become just. Like. Us." So yeah, bit of a tonal shift when it comes to the advertising.

I know that's her default expression at this point, but Sachiko's face in that cutscene is peak 'this crazy bastard needs to shut up'. She is so done with this nonsense.

Nick Buntline posted:the joke is that everybody notices the ventriloquist Can confirm, you hear the plot and, naturally, think 'there's no way this series can be anything but the creepiest poo poo ever', but it winds up being a very charming series. They focus more on the absurdity of the concept, so any potential horribleness winds up being bypassed completely and the end is sincere and very sweet.

Everyone knows if someone has a physical accident, if you add enough blunt-force trauma, it warps around to healing them instead
