@hippie_genocide: @l1ghtn1n: Yeah, especially with all the love Soma got, it feels like a real glaring omission that Talos Principle didn't even get mentioned. Not that they share a narrative, but they have some similar themes that seem to really resonate with a not insignificant chunk of the duders.

@grantheaslip: I only had like one healing item on me which was definitely not enough to beat Undine because those backwards arrows kept fucking me up when it was super-speed. That shit is definitely not reactable and forcing players to waste time repeatedly grinding their way up to a rapid-fire sequence so they can bang their head against it until they memorize it puts your game in the Battletoads shit tier of gameplay design. To beat it I have to go and backtrack through numerous screens to pick up more items which means like 20+ annoying random encounters and there's simply no way I'm putting myself through that just so the game can shit on me for not realizing that the game was going to autocrit Toriel when she was still at like 40% HP because I still had no idea how the combat fucking worked.

Maybe I'm more angry about this game than I though.

@project343: They're pretty different outside of the basic framework of internet nostalgia. Emily is Away is basically a dialogue tree about maintaining old friendships and dealing with regret whereas Cibele is a linear narrative about navigating your way through intimate connections as an inexperienced introvert.

Various points through middle-school and high-school so mid-late 90s.

@hassun: More talking about his enjoyment of and apparent ability to mesh well with the SFV engine which his victory over Poongko and the other stuff you mentioned alludes to.

@hmoney001: Considering that Graham Wolf beat Poongko at PSX, sounds pretty true to me.

  • Glasgow Eve was in Glasgow while Simon was killed, and there is a hospital record to back that up. Yes, Eve later admits that they set Simon's watch to a specific time she was in Glasgow and then broke it, to strengthen the alibi, but forensics can roughly date the death of a person as well, and presumably that more or less matches with the time on the watch (and the time Eve was in Glasgow), because the police never question that timeline.
  • The fingerprints This is the real clincher and I haven't seen anybody who supports multiple personalities really address it. The police find fingerprints of a third person in the house when they dust for prints, including on Simon and Hannah's bed. Identical twins do not have the same fingerprints. In the last interview, Eve admits to going to the house with Simon and sleeping with him in that bed. If there's no twins, then who the hell do the fingerprints belong to? There's no indication in game of anyone else they could be. It theoretically could be one of the other people mentioned (the plumber, Eric, or Dianne) who have been to the house relatively recently, but there's no narrative indication that it is, they have no reason to touch the bed board (or whatever the prints were exactly found on), and assuming that person is willing to be fingerprinted (or has been in the past), the police can check if it's them, and there's no mention of that. There's nothing in the story that points to the prints belonging to anyone other than Eve.

I'm definitely on team twins, but to play devil's advocate:

  • IIRC Simon's body was chopped up and put in bags right? That can really fuck with the ability to assess time of death.
  • Since the impetus to kill Simon was his affair, it's possible the entire fabrication was formed around that nucleus but the affair was actually with someone else.

If you like video games you will like Witcher 3.

Not if you like video games for the gameplay.

Like, I have barely scratched the surface of the DLC I have already paid for because without the momentum from the main story pulling me along, the act of playing the game is just an exercise in tedium. I'm not saying the Witcher 3 is a bad game, it's definitely somewhere in my top 10 for this year, but I would never give it an unqualified recommendation, especially when someone's point of comparison is a game with a carefully metered progression wrapped around a finely tuned combat system.
