>thinks this is a WUT monent of note in LSD

You have far to go, my son. Your journey has only just begun.

That face really creeped me out.

>>962806
Each day more is more creepy moments.

At first 10 days it can be funny, but later it gets more schizo..

>>962806
>I think it says everything there is to say about the game.
You obviously haven't hit the Violence District. Or the infamous Sun Bridge.

Has anyone ever translated that one block of text that occasionally shows up when you start a new day?

>>963102
Somebody said that it is about having no dream, but im not 100% sure about this.

>>963190
I thought it was an excerpt from the tie-in book?

>aspect raidou

You should play with the latest subversion build of PCSX-R and turn on the widescreen GTE hack.

Imagine a game like this...

set underwater

>>963102
If someone can post a pic of it I'll translate it for you.

>>964329
Yeah, it'd be shit.
Seriously, the creepy element of this game is how you can walk around in the world exploring, as you do in real life, except in the game, crazy shit happens.

Unless you're a diver or something, it just wouldn't be the same kind of creepy.

I still wonder about that "ending" movie no one's been able to decode.

It sounds straight out of a dumb creepypasta.

Excuse me if this is common knowledge;
Right now I’m playing LSD Dream Emulator and you know
when the dream ends it shows you that map thing? Well instead of going to the menu, the boxes started glowing green one by one, and now is just showing movie after movie and I can’t exit out of it. Did I activate the movie player or something? It's literally just showing movie after movie and I cannot escape from it.

>>965078
That's kind of rare. I think it happens when get those three blocks that turn green colored in, but I'm not sure. And yeah, it plays all the cinematics. There's nothing you can do; just let it run its course. There's like 19 I think. I got it to happen around day 86 I think. What day are you on?

>>965092
Day 71. And yes that's exactly what happened/is happening. Oh well it's cool anyways.

>>965096
Genuine congrats. From my own experience I've only heard one other person mention coming across this. I assume it's expected to happen eventually if you play all the way through but most people don't get too far into the game.

>>963102
>that one block of text that occasionally shows up when you start a new day?
You mean something like this? There's not just one, there's many.

>>963305
>I thought it was an excerpt from the tie-in book?
At the least, some of them are. I think some are exclusive to the game but I could be wrong.

I have always wanted to like this game but the draw distance, walking sounds and like less than ten places to visit just kills it for me. How am I supposed to play for 50+ dreams when it seems like the only new thing that ever happens after a certain point is an occasional texture change? And walking in the natural world, when seriously like 90% of the screen is just blank white fog. Unbearable

>>965309
My translation:

"Isolation

I came from somewhere far away.
And I'm so very tired.
I wonder why no one came to wait for me.
Even here I'm all alone.
There's no place where I am.
And no one for me to go."

My translation:

"Isolation

I came from somewhere far away.
And I'm so very tired.
I wonder why no one came to wait for me.
Even here I'm all alone.
There's no place for me to be.
And no where for me to go."

>>962806
Even if discussed to death, LSD discussions are always enjoyable.

>>965371
You could argue that the fog and bizarre walking sounds add to the surreal nature, but yeah, the limited areas are a problem.

While this subject is still active, what would a fair asking price be for a cib copy of this game?

>>962806
>Let's have a discussion about it
>I think it says everything there is to say about the game.

Isn't that cute he's like ten days in and he thinks he's seen and heard weird shit.

No, OP. You have to start accepting shit like that as a normal part of the dreamscape and then things will really start happening... Hold onto your brain.

>>965371
I actually really like the walking sounds lol. Yume Nikki kind of takes from that as well, just not to the loud and obnoxious extent. The more you play though you do find more characters and stuff that you won't have seen before. Like the guy kicking the (dead) guy on the floor in the violence district.

>>966065
This. You have to ply until you reach the state where the basic odd shit goes without question, like in a dream. Fat, smiling heads take a walk down the street and it isn't even a thing, that's just BobbyJoeJimBob.

They need to do a modern version of this game, someone should go on kickstarter or something - imagine it all with DX11 visuals.

>>966016
Like $200-300 is the typical asking price.

>>962806
part of what I found most fun with LSD was figuring out the logic in it, not unlike my experiences with actual LSD. Because as "random" as everything seems, there are in fact specific chains of logic and patterns that will take an input and produce a very specific and singular response, the trick is just to figure out what all the qualifying features of those scenarios are. Treat it like a science experiment, putting yourself in situations in which there are identifiable variables and constants. If you act upon a damn near identical prompt a second time and the game hands you a different outcome that means something's not as constant as you thought, or there's a variable at work that you weren't thinking of and taking into consideration.

Does the same wall always send you to the same place? Does it differ based on the day? How about based on the textures in place? What about the amount of time you've spent in the dream? What triggers the red, white, and blue flashes? Which colored flashes indicate downer-vs-upper, neutral, or static-vs-dynamic? If you want to aim for a specific spot on the post dream graph (I aim for the eyes and mouth) can you do it? The dots on the graph get more solid white the more repeated dreams hit the same mark. Is there significance to it? etc...

I want to play this so bad but my PC sucks at emulating PS1 games.

>>967708
>What triggers the red, white, and blue flashes? Which colored flashes indicate downer-vs-upper, neutral, or static-vs-dynamic?
Wow I never even considered that

>>967724
How old is your computer? My average build from 2005 could do it well enough.

>>967724

I had a Pentium 4 with Intel Extreme Graphics that could do PS1 emulation just fine in ePSXe

Stick to Direct3D/DX6 and avoid OpenGL on computers with old integrated stuff

I will try this game tonight high as hell.
Will report back, if I remember.

I could not play this game. I could not.
I never even saw him, but the thought of running into the Gray Man gave me goosebumps.

I've played it for 30 days and not really a lot is happening. It's just the same locations with the same randomised content. I'm finding it pretty repetitive.

Is there a point when it gets super mental? I'm at the stage where a load of kanji is appearing on the walls and they're changing hue.

>>969454
I've been playing for over than 100 days(not in one sitting ofcourse), and it got to a point where the maps are all colorfull and full of kanji on the walls and floors. But other than that, it's pretty much the same thing.
The problem for me is that the coolest areas rarely appear, like the city with the dead people, and this one place that looks like the insides of a person, with sumos wrestlers in it and shit.
I don't recomend playing it for more than an hour anyway.

it was really boring and i didnt see the appeal at all. yume nikki ripped it off and i think it still honestly did a better job

I didn't really get creeped out until the textures started changing. That's when I first saw the grey man (in the japanese village I think), which was quite shocking. In whole, I actually found the game very serene and peaceful, it was fun finding new things and I played it nonstop for many hours until like day 100 when I got bored of it.

Be nice if there were a sequel to this, with more content to see.

>>966498
I think the polygon graphics add to the appeal of the game honestly. If it was rendered in super high definition it wouldn't be half as alien, and thus creepy.

>>964524
I thought the "ending" was when you played 365 days, and it showed a bunch of stuff related to how Japan celebrates the New Year?

>>965309
>There's not just one, there's many.
Ah jeez, really?

>>969443
The Gray Man's more annoying than anything else; he erases your progress.

>>966498

>not whose
They could keep the angular style, but they could make more dynamic environments with far more varied effects rather than the flat ones we have in LSD. It sounds like you're afraid of change.

>>969491
Yeah, I've seen those areas a ton. I've been shot, seen cars drive into the water, see boats and navy men appearing above the sea then dissapearing and seen the girl's head fall off.

>>969508
Honestly, no game has scared me as much as Yume Nikki. I'm over it now, though.

I feel LSD has a decent enough formula, it just need significantly more content and less wandering aimlessly around boring areas like the one with the giant pit and the desert.

>>965101
I had that happen atleast 10 times for me, no joke.
But I never watched all the cutscenes, because I'm not a patient guy, and I just thought it was never gonna end.
Usually when that happens, I just reset the game.
You mean you can play after all that is done?

>>969582
we're all afraid, it's the human condition

I'm sure this has been asked before, but what exactly does the Dark Man do? I've heard he reduces the textures or something, but the answers are always vague and not 100% proven.

>>969704
I don't think anything's really confirmable. Him making the textures less broken is the most common idea, though.

bumping. Decided to do another run of the game, the whole way through - all 365 days.

>>969851
Good luck with that. You gonna post your progress?

>>969858
Eh. Only if something interesting nobody has seen before happens. I'll be trying to avoid the Shadow Dude and walk into as many different things as possible to see how crazy it gets. Also will be looking for how to activate all the FMVs. I know one happens by walking into some ferris wheel, and another I think activates when the house squishes you.

>>969889
Alright, found the ferris wheel FMV.

>>964329
I think there was a game like this... though if I remember right it was for the dreamcast, so we can't talk about it

>>969590
where the fuck would you even get a pic like that to shop in the first place... dear lord

>>969590
Yeah, the videos go for like 15 or 20 minutes but when it ends it takes you back to the main menu and you continue onto the next day.

>>969889
>when the house squishes you.
What? When is this?

>>970652
In the Violence District, one of the warehouses has a couple bird spirits moving about. Sometimes the roof collapses on you. Dunno what triggers it though.

>>969956

TELL ME

I MUST KNOW

Need a traslator fag.

Hi /vr/mins, I have a question.

I'm playing right now LSD. I read all you guys get green squares, bot I'm only getting red squares on the map thing.

Am I doing something wrong?

>>970940

Because you asked so nicely.

"Being pursued.

Someone is pursuing me. They're like some organization. Now there is a retired old guru at that clothing store, hiding me from my pursuers. Yet even now I continue to be chased by my enemies."

>>970956
The green square is a special event that happens when you've played for a long while. Don't worry about it. It'll happen eventually and even when it does it's not too amazingly significant.

>>966498
>DX11 visuals on /vr/
Give me some of that good shit.

>>970987

I love you anon. Thank you.

>>966498

In fact, the game is available on the japanese PSN

I found some screenshots.

>>971050

I was really hoping the re-release would have lowered the value of a physical copy, but then PewDiePie made a LP and suddenly everyone is talking about the game and wants to buy a copy.

Hi fellas.

I found a dowload links from the additional media of the game.

The Special Edition OST Music, the unnoficial remixes and the Journalist dream book.

http://fuckyeahlsddreamemulator.tumblr.com/downloadlinks

>>971109
I thought Pewdiepie took that video down very shortly after it went up because of negative feedback calling him a copycat of other LPers and thus hardly anyone saw it

>>966498
I think the "dated" graphics and are part of the appeal. But it could benefit from having more content in general, maybe randomly generated maps. The textures always change but you keep seeing the same maps which gets a little tiring.

OH COOL. I was just attacked by a dog in a dojo and then... SUNBRIDGE

>>971284
then I was transported to a city with warehouses. I saw a bloody chalk outline in a warehouse... went outside to look at a dead tree and was shot by a man with a grey trenchcoat and what looked like a helmet...

>>969704

He for one reduces the available "depth" of the game, meaning if you always run into him it will take longer until the dreams get weirder and the really interesting stuff happens. Also if he catches you he takes the availability to recall that dream with him, no replay is possible.

Everyone interested in the game should watch Mikemnemonics Let's Play of it. At first he's just playing through the game normally, like any newcomer would, but later he finds the map and edits it, to be more useful, and generally explores the game really thoroughly, at one point buying the Dream-Journal that goes with the game and uploading scans of it as well as screenshots of the normal dreams and the text dreams together with translations.

Oh, also, he's hilarious.

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC27A11B97FF7EE1F

>>971160

I think he did, but either way it got people talking about the game. If you search the game on YouTube most of your results are going to be LPs from the last three years.

Downloaded the PSP eboot of it earlier and played for like 20 minutes. Pretty boring generally, but it would be quite fun on acid.

is Happytown the place where the Grey Man appears more often? because everytime i go to happytown no matter the "mood" of the dream the motherfucker just pops out.

>>972215
I'm pretty sure the scans of the dream journal that are in circulation online are Mikemnemonics' work, actually.

>>973559
LPing wasn't really a thing before three years ago though

>>969963
its an ancient image from the days 4chan was actually a funny community and made an effort to make hilarious content

Grey man info

Also, there's a whole fucking Wikia

http://dreamemulator.wikia.com/wiki/The_Gray_Man

>>973728
>PSP
Just what the fuck are you doing? This is meant to be played on a big screen, lights turned off and on acid. Playing it on a small screen kills everything.

>>974192
>on acid

Shiggydiggy

The title may be LSD, but it's not meant to be played on acid. Acid is about self examination and shit. Fuckin' YOLO kiddies

>>974217
my friend has become one of those types
i'm ashamed that he does these kinds of drugs and there's nothing i can do to stop him other than my words
drugs are a form of degeneracy. just like homosexuality and pedophilia where the age gap is greater than 3 years

>>974276
Uh, wrong. LSD is a powerful tool that allows one to tap in to their higher selves and endless creativity. The use of the drug is not shameful, the ABUSE of it is

>>974276
>pedophilia where the age gap is greater than 3 years
>implying someone can be a pedophile if the other is 3 or even just 2 years younger
What? If you're into someone 3 or less years younger than you it's not pedophilia, in case you're thinking that simply attraction to anyone under 18 is the qualification. Pedophilia deals with the attraction to prepubescents (kids yet to go through puberty) by postpubescents, not whether or not someone is legal.
I'm assuming you're a high schooler who throws around the word a lot without knowing quite what it means.When I was in grade 10 our class douchebag started spreading rumors that I was a pedophile because he heard I liked someone a grade below me.
sage for off-topic

>>974446
it's still pedophilia, just not as much of a concern. the worst case situation from my scenario is an 18 year old with a 15 year old.
if you don't believe it isn't pedophilia then tell that to the 18~20 year olds who got sent to federal prison for many years for having a picture of a nude 17 or 16 year old girl.
i don't see it as a problem at all, the law does

>>975794
i'm not saying this because i'm the kind of guy who wants to have his way with that age group in particular, i say it because at times you can't really pinpoint someone's age. a 16 year old girl can look like an 18 year old girl just as much as a 17 year old girl would. the cut off age where looking questionably 18 would have to be 15 though

>>975803
>>975794
thanks for killing the thread asshole

So you guys know about the map right

So if I have a mac should I just give up right now on trying to find this game?
