Pathologic thread? Who is the most "good" of the three protagonists you think?
I think Bachelor goes in with the best intentions, but ultimately I think the chick is actually trying to fix it and stick with it essentially.
Should I buy the restranslation or wait for the remake?
>>315502861
Both. From what we've seen, they are going to be incredibly different experiences with the base opening plot and setting going to be the only similarities.
Pathologic HD is just the original but with upscaled graphics and a readable translation.

It's a good picture Yukiko-senpai! :3
>>315502659
I've only played Bachelor but at this point I'm inclined to say he is.
>>315502861
Get the retranslation if you know the game sounds appealing.
>>315502861
I suggest pirating GOG version and, if you like it, getting $55-tier reward on their crowd-funding campaign. That way, you'll get both games + some extras.
>>315503597

B-baka!
>just finished Day 2
>mfw Day 3
>>315506045
Right now no. The Hd edition with the translation that makes sense only just released, and I doubt anybody has done a full playthrough yet. The game is great, but it's not fun in a traditional sense. It's actually incredibly draining to play. Every day you survive or encounter is a sigh of relief, and every hour you remain uninfected is another gift.
You can absolutely fuck yourself into a hole that requires you to restart the game. That's why one of the DANK MEMES in these threads is to constantly stock up on food and drugs. Combat can be avoided, but food and drugs are a necessity to get through the 12 days.
>>315502796
Bachelor fixes the problem, but also kills a shit ton of people.
Hah, I forgot I owned the original version of this. My friend got it for me for my birthday when I was like 13. I remember not being able to make heads or tails of it.
>>315506045
Don't be a pussy, it's not like anything will pop out suddenly at you. And it's not a game that would work will with LPs, it's all about an atmosphere that relies on YOU being involved with everything that's going on

>>315507571
So should I be going into the game with a "I can save everyone!" mindset or should I be pragmatic?
I want to save everyone though.
>>315507516
Uhh, you don't get to bring adults.
Haruspex ending is canon. Prove me wrong.
>actually saving the tower
>>315507860
You can save everyone, but most likely not on your first playthrough. Go in with the mindset of "I'm going to try to save everyone I can, but I am only human".
>>315507462
Starts slowly, usually really picks up by the time plague starts, but it's one of the most immersive and atmosphere-heavy games out there. Also, great story and 10/10 ending.

What's the general consensus on new translation?
>>315509363
It's great, wonderful, it all makes sense.
Though you still have to decipher the content yourself, but at least the delivery is coherent!
>>315509363
Great. I tried the original years ago and I couldn't understand shit. This new translation is perfectly legible and the story makes as much sense as it's made to make.

its different from lowering rep cry
>>315509570
Now you're thinking in character. That's how Bachelor feels.
>>315509737
The ruins are infantile, merely experiments and failures at that. Yet they still reflect some of the spirit that the full structure has.
I started the game when other anons suggested it in a thread a day or two ago, but I found it hard to know what I was doing. I only found small vlad after some anon posted it in the thread and I get the feeling im missing a lot of stuff, since ild mostly finished the days quest by 3PM. I also spoke to a girl who said something about coming to warehouse 11 after dark and saying the password 'Hell froze over' to see something, but when I went to the warehouse it was just a bunch of kids who I couldnt interact with.
What is the ETA on the remake?
Is this a spooky game?
I've also heard that this is a decent mindfuck/twist game. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 beingMADDENand 10 beingever17, how does it scale on the mindfuck-o-meter?
Apologies for stupid questions.
Does anyone know the name of the hype song that plays at the third daywhen Rubin tells you that he needs you to go to the infected district?
>>315510054
The first day has a short and kinda boring main quest
The second day is when shit starts getting real
By the third day the town starts going to shit
If you don't know where to go just press q and check the main quest tab. If it has *** then its over and all there is left for that day is sidequests.
reminder that looting piss filter houses is always worth because the bullet you use to kill the ninja looters are paid back by the crowbars they drop bartering with guards
>>315510282
11/10 Among the several twists at the end of the game, the game basically opens with you (the player) being told that you are an actor in the game only taking the role of the character you choose. The game has a large number of theatrical themes that appear in plays. It's very surreal.
No idea on the remake ETA. Very disturbing and spooky. Not really spooky in a regular sense.
>>315505934
>says the tripfag who still watches anime
>>315510282
>What is the ETA on the remake?
I'd expect alpha/beta next year, doubt they'll finish the full game by then.
>Is this a spooky game?
There are no jumpscares. It's more about constant feeling of dread than scares in your usual sense. Think playing Silent Hill 2 before you meet first monsters.
>how does it scale on the mindfuck-o-meter
It's very strange in general, but ending is definitely 9-10/10. The game also likes to throw curve balls. It makes you forget the rules of normal world and immerses you into its own world, just to break newly established rules later.*cough* Albino *cough*
>>315510502
Hm, I kind of doubt anything can topever17, to be honest, but I do like what I'm hearing. I can deal with surreal. I like surreal. Always had a mild passing interest in the game, and related games I've seen discussed and mentioned over the years, but never enough to really delve into it.
I feel that I've consumed so much media that I'm now desperate for anything that doesn't follow the beaten path, and is as 'out-there' as possible. I don't know a better way to explain it. It's as if nothing surprises or shocks me too much anymore.
>>315510827
>I'd expect alpha/beta next year
Ouch. To be expected, though.
>Think playing Silent Hill 2 before you meet first monsters
Does Pathologic have monsters?
>It makes you forget the rules of normal world and immerses you into its own world, just to break newly established rules later.
I like it.
Thanks for the feedback, bros.

You'll mostly be dealing with humans and rats, though there are non-human characters like Worms. You can think of plague as a monster too, I guess.
>>315510934

I needed the medicine, and the safety of the town depends on my survival, the kids should've just given it.

i guess he's talking about the odongs, which are basically people fucked up by ages on incestand kinda cute
>>315511194
Normal sized rats
Keep in mind that this makes them harder to hit, and this is a plague doctor simulator so bigger rats would have been way better
Worm is just a name for a kind of creature that is not related to normal worms
>>315509171
Mods when.
This fucking game is so good. After one character play through finished a few days ago I'm still building the composure to go again, I need time to cultivate what I learned and gathered before surging in again.
No game has made me feel this way before.

Oh those don't even look bad.
>>315510471
This so much. I said the same thing in yesterday's thread -- 1 or 2 revolver bullets ain't shit compared to the bounty of easy pickings in (yellow-filtered) abandoned districts. Holy shit, it's amazing. I'll never loot an actively infected house again.
>>315511601
odongs are cute! CUTE!
>>315502659
I'm glad this game is starting to get the recognition it deserves. My only desire is that it actually loses as little as possible in translation. Some lines in it have such a massive impact, but you need to read it in the original language in order to experience that.
>>315511953
>loot an actively infected house
>>315512048
Don't worry, the translators are pretty autistic about getting it accurately as possible this time around, Vlade thinks its good as well.
>>315511601
They aren't really antagonistic. Most of the time they just hang around their yurts. You spend more time talking with them than fighting, if ever.
Uh, which part of town is The Works? I'm looking forIsidor's son on day 5and my only clue about his secret hideout is that there's some stairs and it must be in the Works
That map needs some names
>>315512698
The workshops, anon.
There is one in red, workshop five? ButIt's not that one
Could someone help me finish day one as Bachelor its almost 1pm and all I have is the quest for little vlad and can't find the town medic.

That should be on the back of the box. That should be the first and last line of any review.
Seriously. I'm 32 and have played almost every game to ever exist from Atari to today, and literally no game has ever made me feel this way.
>>315512698
The factories down south-east. He's in #4. I think he'll refer to it as the Corpulent Factory later and there's still no marking on it so I dunno how we're supposed to find it besides, well, listening to people.

>>315513450
Wrong area, you want way down by the big factories, the giant ovals on your map. There's a big red one but you're looking for #4.
>>315513634
I was spooked by the ambience in day 1 too, but I got used to the feeling in day 2 and expected to get bored if the game remained like that.
It didn't remain like that.
Expect day 3 to make you addicted to the game.

It just got worse and worse. They really nailed that feeling of sinking desperation.
So its a walking simulator?
>>315515176
It's a getting killed by spetsnaz knife throwing hobo simulator.
>>315515068
Hell it isn't even day by day. Even on the first day, the very person you came to this town to see dies and after finding out where the person who saw him last lives you find out he is dead as well.
Its just a never ending spiral of shit going from worse to just burn it all down.
>>315515176
It's a plague doctor simulator
>>315515176
Walking is a big part of the game. A large portion of it consist of going from A to B, talking to one guy and then dealing with another.
But of course it isn't that simple. On the way from point B you have to look out for trash cans from which you can scavenge empty bottles and nicknacks which you can then trade for very valuable items. You also have to be mindful of choosing the best path through the town, as the map does not show all the various dead ends and shortcuts ( I actually just started drawing my own, so as to mark which shops are where ( Fuck Vlad, I ain't paying 1k Rubles for a piece of paper )).
And thats just the first day. If you haven't guessed already, shit hits the fan in this game and then it proceeds to spin until the fan is on fire and the entire room is burning. And covered in shit.
So yes it is indeed a walking simulator. Walking through an infected town in the steppes.
I've heard lots of good things about this game and it seems intriguing. However I'm a total casual, terrible at survival games. Will it be too hard for me?
>>315515847
Nah, actually it depends upon your own will on how hard you want it to be, since you can potentially save scum your way through it with relative ease.
But that isn't the heart of a survival game, its being completely beaten down by circumstances, by your own mistakes or that of the world and somehow getting through it with an inch of your life.
There is a definite failure state where you can really fuck up at an earlier point in the game, only for it to dawn on you that you have no chance of winning later in the game. But don't let that depress you. Because then the plague wins.
>>315515847
As Bachelor, if you survive first 3 days you're all set.
>>315507462

"A bottle of cow's milk. Be careful with this product! It is very healthy, but its origin presumes a high degree of risk. Women said that the cows have been giving ichor instead of milk and that some black clots were found in it. One shouldn't trust domestic animals these days. "
This shit is disgusting.I love it.
Food can't go bad/get you sick right?
Also can you cook fresh meat/fish?
>>315516993

>read the item description for milk
Yeah, I'm not drinking that.
>>315506974

>>315517778
As far as I know, food will never harm you or make you sick, just a little hit to Exhaustion (game-ified food coma, love it).
Ironically you can't/don't have to cook fresh meat. You just eat it.

I would act like that if I were risking my life to save a town I give 0 fucks about and everyone ignored me and got in my way.
>Pathos

Is this game like that or is it like something else?
>>315518062
>Ironically you can't/don't have to cook fresh meat. You just eat it.
Say fucking what. God damn this game basically made me afraid of eggs, milk and meat and now you're telling me is all harmless?
>>315517935
I would be too if I graduated from medical college and I was sent to a backwards hick town full of superstitious retards that won't follow even the simplest of my instructions to stem the tide of an apocalyptic plague.
It's said every thread, but this game is absolutely brilliant in how it gets you into the same mindset of the character you're playing through nothing more than dialogue and game mechanics.
The game never has to tell you "The Bachelor was getting exasperated" because you, yourself, are getting fucking exasperated.
>day 8

>>315518467
oh god what happens?
Can't wait for the Remake. After getting to Bachelor Day 5, I literally just Alt-Tabbed, donated $25 to IPL, then went back to playing HD.
If they can keep the game 90% similar, but bring the graphics and gameplay mechanics (UI, quest tracking, etc) into the modern age, it has the chance to be one of the defining games of its generation and the new shining beacon of unique originality in the vidya industry.
When the Remake comes out, I'm going toquarantinemyself and play it for a week straight.

Pathologic is the textbook definition of "it's better to go in blind". The spoilers MAKE the game.
>>315519001
>has the chance to be one of the defining games
No. It requires you to figure things out by yourself and is confusing and mysterious on purpose. It won't be a game people look back at as the defining game of a generation

I just finished Bachelor's playthrough. I almost feel a little drained after it all.
I'm sorely tempted to jump right into Haruspex and seeing just how different it is, but I hear his campaign is even more stressful. Tempted to wait a bit.
Bachelor's 12 days took me like 30 hours.
>>315520531
That's how you enjoy Pathologic. You give, not take from the game. You should feel drained, because that's how it was intended to be. There's a great review of this game on RPS and all people that enjoyed the game or want to get into it should read. It's not completely spoiler free though, so bear that in mind.

Be warned. I'd read this only after I'd finished at least one complete playthrough.
>>315521151
The reward is worth it. I got through the whole hour completely uninfected bywearing all the clothes I had (gloves, drapery, etc), popping pills to boost my Immunity to absolute max, then just dodged around the house trying to avoid plague clouds. I actually got hit by TWO clouds in the hour, but my maxed Immunity let me ignore them. Also, and this is key, I save-scummed like a shameless motherfucker. I hit F5 practically every 10 seconds.

I love how they don't fully explain the player's backstory right from the start. It really adds to their personality.
Is there a romantic interest in this game? Everyone sounds crazy and turns me off. I feel so lonely.
>>315521836
>>315522865
This game is kinda unique in that there aren't many "gamey" consequences for being a dick and stealing/keeping money that people give you.
So if someone asks you to collect money to donate to a shelter, and you decide to instead donate it to your own wallet, the only real consequence is that you have to live with the fact that you're a self-serving piece of shit.
>>315523115
Now you know what to expect if you ever plan on moving out of the city and into some rural village.
>>315523115
Yes. In a manner of speaking.
>>315515176
Yea, its 80% walking, 15% reading, and 5% trading/combat. Still a great game though with an amazing and immersive setting and story.
2 doubts
On day 1 I spent all my money on food, should I have bought some medicine or clothes?
The other thing is that I spoiled myself all the endings and shit 1 year ago, should I keep playing now that I know all the mindfucks?
>>315523457
There's still more to see, even if you are spoilered. And don't worry about the clothes, if you are careful you will not need them. Medicine too, it's not that difficult to acquire more.
What do I do with the body in the house found on day three of Bachelor? Do I need to do something with it?
>>315523457
You did good.
This will become evident when the 2nd day begins and you go to a shop.
Also of course you should keep playing, it isn't the destination but the journey that matters. ( I spoiled myself as well but I have an incredibly shit memory apparently and can't remember a thing. )

No. That was pretty confusing for me too.
Once you've found the body,check your questlog. Does the last entry say "Is it Simon...?" If so, return to the questgiver.
>>315523980
Alrighty, thanks. I talked to vlad and viktor and nothing happened so I assumed I had to do something else.
I'm only on day 2 and I've spoiled myself aboutmap resembling a cow and what's inside some of the buildingsfrom RPS review, were these important details?
>>315524438
They would've been a cool "whoa what!?" reveal, but it's not like the game is now ruined for you or anything. Just keep playing and try to avoid as many spoilers as possible.
>>315524438
Not really, just small shit.
Seriously, don't get your panties in a twist about small 'spoilers', it would take an essay at least to explain anything of real significance with the appropriate context and setting explained.
>>315522756
She isn't even a legit Mistress. She's lost her clairvoyance and powers and shit and all she tells you is being whispered to her by the rat boy.

TELL ME ABOUT THE PROPHET
WHY DOES HE WEAR THE RAT HEAD?
>>315525028
Yeah, she really left a mark.
>>315523201
And the fact that you won't be able to get a little bit of food for free every day in the shelter.
It's not much anyways, so it's not really worth it.

>10 being ever17
LOL!
Day 7 of Haruspex, second route.
No guns, low health, few bandages, running off novocaine and 2 hour naps, drinking infected heart slurry and coughing up blood because I can't afford fancy science drugs because the prices are higher than day 2 shenanigans, running low on food and the only thing I have a lot of is human blood.
I've been crashing on the Bachelor's pad every night, too tired to make it back to the factory after slogging all the way across town to do this city boy's dirty work. He doesn't seem to mind but Eve's been giving me bloodstains on my jacket weird looks.
God I can FEEL the exhaustion in my bones.
>>315505901
How long do I have to back the game? I want to play the original first and I don't want to rush it before I back the kickstarter. The kickstarter doesn't say how much time is rmaining
>>315505934
>anime tripfag talking shit
you forgot a smug anime picture, you fucking autistic piece of shit
>>315525789
The kickstarter's been done for over a year now, but their site still has all the tiers and donation stuff available. pathologic dot com. As for how long till they make the remake? Probably another year or so.
>>315526140
Ah, ok. If I do the $55 reward tier, do I get the old game instantly? Is it the one with the shitty translation or classic HD?
>>315526271
I think you can choose the HD. There's a FAQ on their donation website referenced here
>>315526140
because it is admittedly pretty confusing in exactly what you're getting.
Either way, I would never touch the original again now that we have this glorious HD remaster.
>>315526271
Classic HD, and depends on what you want it on. Steam I think you'll get it right away, GOG I think they were still ironing out the issues with how to give people the right keys and what if they already had the old TL one.
The entire reason they put out the HD rerelease was because they looked at the original and went 'oh fuck this is unreadable we can't give this out to people'. Pretty neat of them.
>>315526724
>pretty neat of them
Seriously, what cool fucking devs. They could've let it just rot but they decided to upgrade the visuals and give it one of the best translation jobs I've ever seen. The game went from "barely comprehensible", passed by "good enough", and landed square in "wow, this is actually really damn good".
>>315527929
It worries me a bit that they took time off of the remake to do this, especially since it was such a good job they must have dedicated a significant amount of resources to finishing it.
>>315528110
They outsourced the graphics bit to another company so that didn't cost them anything but money. The translation was done by the in-house lady, but since they have to write up the script for the remake before she can translate it I doubt it really set them back much if at all. And if any of the conversations are re-used, then they're already done.
>>315502659
Devotress, because she is the maximum of sacrifice and compassion.
Holy shit just found the best combination for dead gruel.
one stem black twyre two parts swevery one part white whip, gives you a garbage immunity potion but shove than in with an infected heart and you get a potion that cures 76% infection and only hurts 3% health.
I'm on day 8 as Bachelor should Isend Big Vlad or Young Vlad to Taya? I feel like young one deserves it more but I find his maps useful
Do I need to be really skilled at melee fighting to beat this game? I'm kinda slow
Where's the weapon shop? There's something better than this tiny scalpel right?
Why are the kids the only ones carrying bullets.
I feel I'm not going to take it easy in this game.
>>315529708
Don't buy weapons, it's a waste of money, you get enough weapons for free if you pay attention and side-quests.
>>315529708
There's a revolver that you can get at the first day as a Bachelor (I hope you're playing him for your sanity's sake). There are also shops, but you shouldn't buy weapons there, as the guy before said. Scalpel is actually much better than it looks.
>>315529708
You find many weapons throughout the game. You'll sell them more often than you ammo for them.
Also, Melee is mostly, stepping backwards, wait for the enemy to enter a Punch Motion, step forward while pressing melee, stab, repeat.
>>315529930
>There's a revolver that you can get at the first day as a Bachelor
If you're talking about the one that'son a body of dead militia menthen it's also possible to get it as Haruspex, actually.
>>315529708
If you're using a gun, headshots are an instakill.
So I just got the game, and I've got a problem where the mouse can leave the game screen (dual monitors) and minimizes the game if I left click, is there some workaround for this besides disabling the second screen?
>>315530251
There are alot of Mouse Lock workarounds.

Devotress.
Bachelor is your classic decoy protagonist, who, when outside his own point of view turns out to be unsufferable jerk.
Haruspex is anti-hero, so he loses the "good guy" competition before it even starts.
>>315502659
So about that pic in the OP, you gotta finish the first mission asap to avoid the abrupt game over. Can I focus on that one quest and leave all the side stuff for later, or will I miss some events if I don't do things or talk to people on the first day? Just to make sure.
>>315529824
>>315529930
Oh, I see. Thanks. I'm playing bachelor. The other guy description just confused me.
>>315530071
Alright, I think I can do that.

If you don't do any quest until 24:00 it's gone. Generally it's best to complete side-quests as you do the main one
>>315503554
That's a great picture anon thanks for taking your time.
>>315530785
Basically, you have a main mission for the day, and you fail it some people die. Sidequests are given at per day basis too. You can ignore them, mostly.
This guy >>315531348 is actually wrong, only the first day main quest leads to instant game over.
Can someone help me with the Testing Drugs sidequest?
I already got all the meds, but Eva didn't give me anything and I don't know what to do next
>>315530785
You can, and should, multi-task. Look at your quest objectives. Look at your map. Where do you need to go? Who do you need to talk to? What do you need to do?
Once you've answered these questions, use your map to plan an efficient path through the town that lets you hit all your objectives with minimal wandering.
The daily time limit can get pretty tense, but for the most part you'll be fine as long as you're constantly moving and accomplishing things. You'd REALLY have to waste some fucking time (ignore quests and sleep all day, for example) before you found yourself well and truly fucked.
>>315531479
>This guy >>315531348 (You) is actually wrong, only the first day main quest leads to instant game over.
Where in my post did I imply otherwise?
How do I do backstabs with the knife?
>>315531672
Sorry,
>reading comprehension
>>315531698
Aim for the head/neck, you have to get a feel for where the right spot are, you will know when the animation changes
>>315531698
You need to aim exactly at the back of the neck.

Fuck. Poor Bachelor, he's as confused as I am.

>"Who's responsible for the spread of disease in the city? Look me in my goddamn eye!"

Just use a revolver. It's like the only weapon that will preserve your sanity. Melee combat is a clusterfuck and don't even try it on house marauders.

The texture files are .dds same as Stalker or Bethesda titles. You can use an override folder to replace them.
>>315513673It goes into more detail in Clara's playthroughThere are several "spirit" characters who are essentially embodiments of something involving the townThe rat prophet is one of them and is the embodiment of the sinister nature of things happening, or something to that extent, because he is a spirit he can't lie to you, but he's a dick about everythingHe writes all the theater skits

try Soma for a really 9/10 on the mind fuck meter experience
>>315531653
Please respond, I have already tried getting infected and using all the meds
>>315533528
After talking to everyone you should get a marker on the map, somewhere near park and Young Vlad, that shows the house in which the experiment takes place.
>>315531653
For the Bachelor on like day 4? You should have a house marked near the Olgimsky's with an executor outside it
>>315533342
Soma is shit tier in comparison to Pathologic desu senpai.
>>315531653
You don't get anything from Eve, it's fine. Get the shit from Anna, Lara, and Yulia, head over to the house that gets marked on your map, and fuck around in the house for an hour trying not to die.
>>315532351
>can I even trust ____
No.
I remember being very interested in this game years ago but never playing it because the translation sucked and in a game like this I couldn't see any reason to play it if that was the case.

Well you're in luck, the translation doesn't suck anymore.
Did anyone see the face on the top floor of the Cathedral?
Spooky as shit.
I'd post a screenshot, but it's only capturing my desktop for some reason.
>>315534330
You can only drink from water fountains for like the first day, maybe second too; it allows you to avoid using food for that day if you want to min/max your stockpile.
Drinking water bottles at any point is literally retarded because bandages and tourniquets are OP
>>315534330
Last resort method of decreasing hunger. You should fill bottles with water and trade with drunks.

Did you get all the medicine from all of them? It's like 9 items and if you had too much already you'll drop it on the floor. If you don't have all the drugs it doesn't trigger the map icon.

more like "pathology" = disease
>>315535445As you're wandering the town on Day 1, you'll come across a woman being burned alive by an unruly crowd. Next to the burning woman, on the ground, are two dead bodies. Loot them. One of them has a revolver, can't remember if ammo, too.
