Chop off that dude's arm and beat the other dude to death with it!

Gods Will Be Watching really reminds me of a less silly McPixel.

I had a boner throughout this entire QL. Someone want to borrow/give me, like, 9 euros? Because payday can't come soon enough.

Statistically proven at the end of the hostage stage: Vinny's Hard. Like Prison Hard. For your own safety, just give him your fruit cup if he ever asks for it.

Man, violence involving teeth always gets the empathy part of my brain flaring right up... Same happened with the torture sequence in GTA V.

I already bought this and it's the first time when I'm unsure if I should be watching the QL of it. Seems like it's all first impressions.

I remember seeing this game when it was just a game jam game and it looked intense but cool. Now that second situation was like "Last 20 minutes of The Martyrs": The Video Game.

Yeah, I remember the old version of this which felt more akin to a a "Predator : Choose your own Adventure" scenario. I wonder if that is still present in this or whether this whole experience is fresh.

Probably Sword and Sworcery. At least that's the first one I remember getting big. Of course, there is always something more obscure before it.

Fun thing about that sequence, that no one seemed to realize, is that you don't really NEED the info on who to shoot. You can just shoot whomever at the party and the FIB will be like "I guess that was the guy. Let's pack it up!". Most people played all the way through the torture-scene because we're wired to do what games tell us to do.

I was pretty into the first scenario, but that second one was rough both in terms of challenge and tone. I don't know if I'd want to repeat that scenario for 20 in-game days. Seems like the gameplay could get a little old dragged out for that long too.

I actually let out a nervous chuckle from the intensity and irony in that torture scene. I was getting into this quick look a lot.

Vinny: "Oh its just a crowbar, I can take that."

Torture guy lights up the torch*

this game might make its way to my pc very soon.

It always surprises me that people will take the good or morale route more often then not in games. I LOVE to cause trouble, and usually do the most dickish things possible just to see the result. I like it for the shock value, and do things I wouldnt in real life. Its just surprising that A LOT of people emotionally connect with the game enough to do the morale thing. I would think the baser instincts would come through.
