Tenebrais posted:Oh huh, this is the same team as A Way Out? That does make sense, that was also a poorly-written game that nonetheless knew how to make co-op really fun. I never played A Way Out, but it was once recommended to me by someone who was insistent that you had to be drunk for it.

Natural 20 posted:This is honest to god one of the most hosed up games I've ever played in my life. Yeah, just.... Yeah. Out of curiosity, I still haven't actually played or watched A Way Out yet, does it get anywhere close to half as hosed up?! I got spoiled about ending stuff, but not about the journey along the way.

Miz Kriss posted:Yeah, I got pretty checked out after this too (elephant regicide included). It's like... there was already this whole rear end adventure, 15 episodes of it to be exact and now there's a frigging letter that's in pieces that they gotta collect and the book is spouting media-equivalent couples counselor nonsense more than usual complete with a couch. It really feels like extra padding at this point. Yeah when he first tore up the letter I was like, classic Hakim, just rip it up to be a dick, ok why not But then he mentioned four pieces and I just groaned knowing there's four more whole loving sidequests to do now

The only way I can imagine this story being redeemed rn is if Dr. Hakim was revealed to be a Stand, who has cursed these awful parents to endless sidequests with Love Experience Requiem

Miz Kriss posted:Or even without an over-arching plot. Hell, make it a series of vignettes with the stupid book as the narrator/driving force and have different couples in various stages of relationships and strife: best friends moving away, a couple going through divorce, siblings fighting, you name it. Then they can go even more hog wild on the settings because this dumb book is magical and has apparently sold "millions of copies." Ooh that's a good idea. Even ignoring the characters being so awful, it does feel a bit tiring for them to keep going so long just dragged over and over from one magically extrapolated world of imagination to another. Having some variety in the characters would make them a lot easier to live with. And having each be a short isolated scenario, like just an introductory therapy session that gets them started talking instead of acting like they're gonna solve all their problems in real time, that would frame things in a more healthy way too. The elephant scene might actually finally be darkly funny if that was our first introduction to these two, in comparison to other characters before, and the book gets to yell at them wondering why that was the first idea they went with.

Natural 20 posted:A video game... of the year! "Stunned" was a good way to put it. I can't believe this was considered "GAME OF THE YEAR" by anybody. You can have games with forgivable flaws and all, sure, but the story being that awkward and poorly delivered really should've been enough to bring it down and let something else claim the title. Even though everything after the elephant was an improvement, the ending doesn't make up for the low points at all imo. Instead of an emotional high note or anything satisfying to look like things are actually getting better, Rose is just like "okay."  and it creeps me the hell out, things are still deeply wrong here, that kid needs 5 years of therapy yesterday
