Not set in a fantasy world and was not expansive science fiction
Uh... I mean, it kinda is. The world of the game itself is pretty wild. Monsters of a kind exist, and there is some sort of fog between the continents that csn literally make you stop existing without sci-fi tech to protect you. And it's growing.
Actually talking to the corpo lady on the boat, doing the church quests, as well as having a high Encyclopedia skill gives you tons of exposition about the world itself, and it is gnarly.
I was surprised that the church sequence doesn't kill you. I only got shot once in the Whirling-In-Rags.
The dancing for Egghead can kill you if your health is low enough/your physical stats are 1-2.
I died from sitting on a slightly uncomfortable chair that one time.
It was very uncomfortable.
Apparently that chair is a common soft lock people hit.
As someone who has never played the game before, I really can't tell if you're making all of this up. It sounds fascinating.
It's real. You can die at the beginning of the game attempting to grab your tie. You're playing as a 40 something burnout cop who has recently done so much alcohol and drugs that you have complete and total amnesia and your heart can explode at any moment. At one point even sitting in a chair could kill you. lol
I mean, only because you picked some build that gave you 1 HP.
one of the three presets do!
It's really worth playing. The voice acting is stellar, and it really is the best "role-playing" game, in the sense that you are fully immersed in role-playing a character. The mental gameplay mechanics are GOAT, and one-of-a-kind.
Quite frankly I had such a high Inland Empire on my playthrough that the only things I’m sure are real are the things Kim or my good friend Horrific Necktie backed me up on.
I will always back you up bratan! You and I are bratannoi -- brothers. Brothers fight. But when they're done fighting, you know what they do? They party. They fucking party!
The pale is incredibly interesting as a concept.
Entropy.
But filled with memories of things that happened before and maybe in the future too.
The pale driver gives you evenore context.
“The greatest RPG ever made?” Not even close. Why do titles need to be this hyperbolic?
Because it's an opinion article and maybe it's OK for the author to make an subjective statement of the quality of a thing they love? Like, if they really believe it, is it wrong to state that? Do they need to qualify everything in their article with "this is just my opinion, sorry if you don't agree."
I get being annoyed by hyperbole in articles, but I don't really think that this warrants this kind of response. Sometimes it's OK to make strong statements. You can make statements like that without implying that people who think differently are bad/wrong.
Because it riles up the nerds.
I found it...daunting. I couldn't stick with it. maybe it's because I like my RPGs to have a bit of action or random encounters I don't know but I just couldn't get into it. once I found myself skipping text and stuff I figured "welp, there's no point in playing this now".
So yeah I guess I just found it daunting and boring. Just not my cup of tea. If you're someone that enjoyed it, kudos. but personally I don't think it's the greatest RPG ever made.
this game was so fucking depressing and bleak and full of downer characters and sub stories i stopped playing after 4 hours.
drama can be good. hardships make adventures exciting. but when the entire world is a hardship, I'd rather play something with more realistic variety.
Maybe you should have kept on playing and you'd have noticed that the game is also funny as fuck...
