Night in the Woods

I don't think a stream can give you a proper idea of it, especially if you're in the chat shitposting with other anons. I was similarly concerned at first and pirated the fuck out of it and liked it enough after beating it to buy it at full price along with its OST. Same thing I did with SOMA.

There are a lot of subtle and not so subtle hints about the supernatural shit if you go exploring. Like how Mae is apparently some kind of Omen baby that was only born after her mother had a shitload of miscarriages.

I liked that about her, actually. No bullshit 'I'm a good person deep down - I just need to find my way!'; she's a selfish, greedy, violent prick at the start of the game and at the end of the game.

I streamed this game back in 2017 for Holla Forums, I did the bea path.
You're a faggot, there is nothing redeemable about the game other than it's soundtrack and setting.
The game is entirely fucking hints to something going on, and then nothing. I've heard people argue "that's just how life works" or "there's a hidden message" but it's just bullshit.
I've played this "game" multiple times since my stream and it has not gotten better with time.
nigger did you play the game? the game pulls a massive "oh i'm mentally ill i'm not a bad person" throught the last quarter of the game and it is so asspulled. The game implies shapes mean something to her throughout the entire game but fucking nothing comes of it and you don't even get to see the world through her eyes. All you get is "oh muh world is shapes but muh friends make it bettur :^)" then end credits.

Just watch the DingDong stream, it is way more fun to see how this game physical hurts him

Just skip one hour in, he had the microphone off

...

Also, isn't one of the devs a massive commie that tried to pull down fan art and porn of the game?

SmalTzy, add a T. Stupid goyim.

Right.

She tries to explain away her actions but she doesn't change anything about herself. She's also actively a bad influence on Greg the whole arc of that friend storyline and regularly threatens people with violence. Not to mention infesting the town with fucking rats.

But you and I are never going to agree, so OP should just do the right thing, pirate the game, play it, and form his own opinion.

But what if you don't? Not everyone is going to want to explore to find that stuff and the people who don't will see the supernatural stuff as tacked on because of how little it pops up in the main plot.
My problem with that is that they try to make you feel bad for Mae with her whole 'shapes' bullshit. If the game was just saying she's a piece of shit, that'd be one thing, but it WANTS me to feel bad for her and use the 'shapes' shit to forgive her actions. If you like her, that's fine, but I can't say I consider her a well written character.

How? By going with the flow and doing what Gregg wants to do? It's Gregg's lack of self control, not Mae being a bad influence.
In a joking way and never follows through. The times she actually "sounds" legitimate are when she threatens the goat guy to let her jump on his car, and that is because her friend stormed off. It's not legitimate but it doesn't seem like a legitimate threat.
user I'm talking about the payoff to all the game's buildup, I'm not saying "oh the game is bad because it has this thing I don't like" I'm saying it's bad because it's a bait and switch full of red herrings.
Now on Nintendo Switch™
no that is not a joke

I need to sleep, I meant it's not legitimate but it sounds like a legitimate threat to get what she wants.

That's exactly what a bad influence is you stupid shit.

A bad influence is someone who encourages you to do bad things, not someone who helps you when you want to do bad things. They're a bad friend but not a bad influence.

==THE (((GAME))) ONLY EXISTS TO ENABLE AUTISTIC RETARDS THAT HAVEN'T KILLED THEMSELVES AND NOW YOU FUCKING BROUGHT IN THESE FAGGOTS BLINDLY DEFENDING THIS VISUAL NOVEL

THREAD ENDS HERE FUCK YOU==

Who the fuck cares.

>fucked up the redtext
go away nigger

Nice. It's fun to hear him whine when he doesn't have to make up bullshit reasons to.

I'm not gonna play the game, user, but thanks for supplying such a disastrous sperg-out.

Spoiler that you piece of shit.

Thread over

Now I'm forever going to be self-conscious about keeping my mouth shut during photos and become that much less expressive because of it.

Little penguin cuck dicklet can't match the emperor? Pathetic .

Just dont smile like a retard or go full stoic

literally cannot go wrong

Like the weeniehut robot said: you can't hide what's inside. If you're soy, people will detect it even in photos.

Game looks pretty.

But it's a millennial liberal circle jerk.

It's SJW walking simulator garbace with completely unlikable characters who are just "so quirky and ironic omgggg"

Literally every character you meet will be gay, mentally ill, depressed, dead or a combination of those.

The only thing it gets right is the Appalachian atmosphere.

Not even furfags like it. Your friend has shit taste by furfag standards.

user, is there something wrong with your brain?

This thread is a nostalgia trip

Get out.

Where the fuck is Aquaria 2?

I will never understand how someone can say this game has a good artstyle with a straight face. It's just a bunch of fucking ovals and lines.

Tl;dr, it's a shallow walkie-talkie that wows redditors like here that think Skyrim is the height of quality. Glad you enjoy it, but know you have incredibly shit taste in both video games and in writing.

...

>>>/reddit/

I think its pleasant looking. Way better than the ugly stuff this kind of "artsy" indieshit usually goes with.

You're a furfag aren't you.

>schmaltzy also schmalzy

Look it up you gigantic retard

Fuck. I got this habit from posting in forums back in 2001.

No idea about the game but the dev is the biggest money grubbing communist
he constantly bitches about how he undercharges for his game while also promoting communist ideas

I never thought id see another person as fucking dumb as rami shitmale but these guys come so close

Maybe he's Jewish.

There's actually a good chance there, considering he has a Polish last name while being Canadian and also somehow sporting pretty much zero common Polish or Franc facial features. I guarantee you his surname was adopted within the last 100 years.

No. It's not a game either. It's a shitty, western visual novel that's not even well written.
It's better than Life is Strange (both are character focused, hipster games with a touch of the paranormal) mostly because it feels like someone's vision, like it was written by an actual human. Sadly that human is a massive faggot, so the story is kind of fucking grating at times. It ends suddenly and resolves nothing, too.
If you really must see it for yourself, watch an lp. It has no gameplay to speak of (ignoring a certain optional minigame), there aren't even puzzles to speak of.
Eh, it's kind of a coin toss. I feel like they're kind of realistic dumbasses, but that's subjective. The dialog is inundated with that stupid "lol randum" style of humor that feels more like someone forcing characters to be likeable. Really the only character worth a damn is Bea, the croc girl. She tells your dipshit MC what she fucked up and that she's not doing anything to change her current situation and has actual reasons to be like that.>>14259533

I wonder if E;R would rip this "game" apart too.

It's shit. But the crocodile is kind of cute if you're into that kind of thing. The problem with the game isn't really the characters or the amount of tumblr shit, but the fact that it's boring and nothing fucking happens for literally hours of walk-around 'gameplay' until the supposed actual plot starts - and that plot gets rolled out and hastily resolved in the dumbest possible way even when it's not put on the backburner for more timewasting. Somebody involved in the project actually did have some decent ideas and they ended up completely wasted by the lazy "insecurity porn" writing.

The setting is interesting enough and visually it looks alright, but the story they tell with it is utterly boring. The Beatrice route sets up the most interesting scene in the game (reaching the height of "kind of interesting"), where she calls out Mae for being a total piece of shit all the time - and then absolutely nothing comes of it, nobody changes, they go back to being friends and do the inane supernatural plotline. Even the idea of Mae's dissociative disorder and hallucinations never amounts to anything. They don't do anything with it and it's never conveyed through a gameplay mechanic (because the game doesn't have those) or visuals (even though the game does have those, after setting up the aesthetic initially they got incredibly lazy and didn't develop it). They have the dream sequences, which is the closest it comes to actually having gameplay, and they're completely pointless and don't lead up to anything.

So what actually happens for most of the game is that you piss about with your gay fox friend, do completely pointless minigames (maybe they could have added more relevant minigames if they weren't suggested by kickstarter backers? I don't know. I think these guys ran out of ideas halfway through making their kickstarter trailer.) and just waste time until it decides its over - all while getting carpal tunnel syndrome from mashing to get through the thousands of text boxes that only have half a line of dialogue in them meme spacing finally gets its own videogame.

It's boring, it doesn't go anywhere and it's made by a hipster living in a commune in Toronto. You'd probably get a more interesting story if you skipped the game and just read fanfiction about the characters. The soundtrack is OK. It's shit.

this bait is pretty big

Do you like the idea of wasting several hours talking to boring angsty millennial dickheads interspersed with "no wait stay, this game does have a plot" dream sequences, only for the big twist to be that it basically doesn't? The true cosmic horror of the game is that people like this actually exist, and you live in the same world as them. I can only pray that every time some retard comments "wow this is so much like me and my friends" chuthulhu sets his alarm clock earlier by one day.

How the fuck do people even tolerate formatting like that?

The music is good but its really not that great of a "game".
Why don't you just pirate it and find out for yourself ?

Haven't you heard user, you don't need to play a videogame to know if it's good or bad, you can just watch a playthrough.

It's a sad millennial walking simulator with few challenges, really damned good art and pretty good music.
I liked it purely as a piece of art and not as a mechanically deep game, but if you hate depressed young adults with a passion and you want a game in your video game then you won't.

Good thing this isn't a video game.

Is anyone going to stream this trashheap or should I?

only if you do the croc and ignore the commie faggot
she seems like the only tolerable character and the playthrough I'm watching keeps going back to muh randumb homo anarchist

Sure, I like bad movie night so why not bad game night?

Got no argument there.

Because last time we streamed it the main complaint is that it's not even cringy bad like life is strange it's just bad.

A disappointment. The trailers and free companion games made me think it was going to be an adventure in a dying mining town with all sorts of magic shit going on but there is no magic. Just boring mundane stuff like a girl sad she didn't go to college or gay guys moving out of town. Hell even the big cult ending wasn't very cultish-y literally just old dudes who killed a kid in some mines

I don't remember them killing anyone. Then again, I don't remember much of anything other than UGH and TACOS.

Yeah at the end in the mines. Theres a board in town that just always says 'Have you seen this kid?' and he comes up like twice in conversations but at the end they pretend he was some big important person. Nope, just a hooligan who died.

I thought the implication was that he went missing and ended up dying in the mines without their involvement. Gotta be honest I tuned out on most of the dialogue after probably the 2nd or 3rd hanging out event with the spastic fox who may or may not have been a gangbanging spic standin.

Yeah its treated like a big reveal despite how it had nothing to do with the rest of the game. The main character whose name I can't even remember started turning schizophrenic too and I just don't know fucking why. Like out of no where.
Also thats exactly what it was and you should've hung out with the gator.

I only chose the fox because I was under the assumption it was the "chaotic" path and that maybe all of that impotent vandalism would lead to bad things happening to him. At least the dumb bitch no doubt ended up with Mercury poisoning by the end.

Good to know they're both disappointing. I thought the gator would have witch craft happen or something, dead dad maybe.

alright this is much worse than even I thought it'd be
I regret making a thread about this filth

Then delete it, nigger.

you can't delete it now, I'm waiting to shitpost at the apologist when he returns and I can't if there's no thread

We told you about this shit. We told you, brah.

Do you have more? It seems you can't reverse search videos.

It sometimes work with a screenshot.
However, if you know where to search animations depending on what's in it in this case, it's furshit scalieshit, you don't even need reverse search.
