Is this any good? Want something to play on Halloween/Samhain/Dia de los Muertos.

This. It's also lefty propaganda.

its got some pretty kino environments and music

It's not creepy at all, but it's a pretty good choice for Halloween. I recommend it.

>> No.5091482

it's a game full of charm and charisma, both in its presentation and characters. The puzzles solutions and figuring out where to go next can feel random and cryptic sometimes. Also, godtier soundtrack

Love this game. Running around Rubacava and talking to everyone was just amazing. Lots of fun characters and dialog. Some of the puzzles are just downright awful though, but it's worth sticking it out just for the satisfying ending.

I just finished the PS4 remake/update/whatever you want to call it. Having played the original when it came out, it holds up pretty well.

Glottis still bugs the shit out of me, though.

lefty propaganda? where? making fun of revolutionary workers in blue casket cafe and rubacava docks is leftist propaganda to you?

>>5091392
it is literally
1. the best adventure game ever made
2. the best movie script transformed into an interactive game
3. the type of game fucking david cage is trying to make his whole life but he'd not ever come close
4. the best "live" soundtrack game in any game ever, period

it's lefty becuase it looks at how labour is alienated (a marxist concept), working for a living is unfair and cruel, and you need to break the law and rules to overthrow the economic and political system. that and you join straight up anticapitalist rebels.

antifascists hate this secret technique!

TLJ was rare for a Euro game in that it didn’t have very much jank at all, and it was available in several languages. So it was kind of a minor hit everywhere, and that led to a modest success overall.

Still pissed that the Dreamfall Chapters Kickstarter didn’t reach the TLJH stretch goal.

Have fun thinking that just because a system is in place it must be okay. You're a/pol/ brainwashed potato rotting in your parents house. Maybe if you ever worked a day in your life and watched your lazy boss drive off in his new Corvette you'd understand

>> No.5095481

Yeah, the lines of logic usually make sense in retrospect, but the game doesn't lead you along very well sometimes. Like when you need to get the suitcase of #9 tickets from the wine cellar, well, you can work backwards from the goal to think maybe you need to smuggle yourself in there. But the wine barrel is full, so you're supposed to think, "Oh, I need to show the membership card to Glottis, who I'm supposed to know has a drinking problem, who will then empty the barrel."

Did anyone else not realize you could actually go into Maximino's office and talk with him in Year 2? He's connected to all the characters in that year, but nothing about him or his office is essential to progress. I only figured out you could go in there when I played the remaster.

Also, why the fuck does Domino have neon coral in his desk? I always felt like I was missing something there.

it's a souvenir from his slave labor thing at the edge of the world. It's some pretty nice foreshadowing, makes the whole world feel more connected.

That's more or less the best explanation I think, but it triggers my autism. Like, was he part of that operation, then relocated to El Marrow, then went back? Seems weird.

Seething commie.No one owns you a thing. A system that's specifically based in going against the very core human instinct is faded to fail time and again. Communism wasn't ever created to serve its marketed purpose.

Capitalism is just freedom and the ability to do things you take for granted.

We dont have capitalism or free markets in the west, so dont say we've try tied it and failed. The us attempt at a minimal state was kicked off the rails immediately and it turned into something just like every other state. You need a man in Washington pushing for favorable legislation to keep you barely competitive and make your real competition criminal

he's doing both of them at the same time, they're connected.
He picks up good souls via the El Marrow business, steals their Number 9 tickets, and in order to get rid of any evidence the souls get dumped at the edge of the world never to be heard from again working in slave labor. That's why it was so important to get Meche back, because with her out there the whole corruption was in danger of being uncovered.
