"OI LADS, LOOKS LIKE ANON HERE IS A DOWNER! YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO WITH THEM DOWNERS, who don't take their HAPPY PILLS?!"
Is this going to be dystopia-edgy-the walking simulator?
>>341856091
>walking simulator
this is such a stupid meme. have you read anything about the game? go, now, and look what genre it is. you will be surprised.
>>341856091
no, its a dystopia edgy day z
>>341856091
pretty insensitive of the devs
the premise of the game is fucking retarded and could probably cause real life retards to feel good about themselves for not taking their pills
i know the same is said about video games glorifying violence but can you imagine a game glorifying not taking your happy pills to cause some crazy person to have an episode?
>Drug is literally called Joy
How long until Austin sues?
>>341856091
>has combat
>is a walking simulator
Looked kinda cool but it's open fucking world. I was expecting a Bioshock type
>>341856091
nah it'll be "survival game number 1923848291849: with british dystopian gimmick this time!"
expect getting tons o supplies then getting bored and never playing ever again as it has no purpose or endgame
Im not sure how to feel
On the one hand the game looks obnoxiously edgy but on the other hand the part with the pinata they showed at e3 looked creepy as fuck
The setting of this game is really cool but I would prefer a more directed game like this like a bioshock type game than a procedural game, procedural games just seem kind of lazy to me
>>341856484
>Taking Pills.
If you can't handle the REAL me then why bother even saying my name?
>>341856596
life is strange has "combat" too. It still is a Walking Simulator. Have they shown actually combat gameplay?
>>341856561
you do realise that's an actual drug right?
>>341856865
>life is strange has "combat" too.
They are completely different.
>>341856091
>It's 1984 crossed with Brave New World but with WACKY 1930's aesthetics because we have bad taste and liked Bioshock Infinite
>>341857136
There is absolutely nothing wrong with liking Bioshock Infinite.
>>341856091
download a early build of kickasstorrents to try it out, its pretty fun
>>341857197
It's a bad game.
>>341856091
Look up a gameplay demo it looks like shit
>>341856876
no its not
>>341856484
if it weren't for you i would have forgotten to take my happy pills again. thanks.

gleefully awaiting your response
Semi-interesting premise but the gameplay looks bland and boring.
Might as well just read BNW and 1984.
>>341856865
Yes they have, it isn't great, but it's there.
Left click and hope you aren't surrounded or they haven't got a cricket bat.

>>341857873
how hard are you projecting?
>>341858159
in concentrated doses maybe
>>341858228
i don't think things can suddenly become psychoactive.
>>341858228
>>341858492
impossible, its a chemical, and the visual interpretation of a rat as a pinata is a high neurological error

WALKING
>>341858735
Nigga it's because your perception is open to suggestion like they SAID it was pinata so you see a pinata. The drug allows people to be "happy" by seeing what they want to see.
>>341858890
then explain. i'm interested.
Walking simulator? No.
It's Pathalogic's concept made in the era of progressively generated survival crafting early access games with none of the story and some dopey social commentary.
>>341859048
So it's more like Pathologic where you need to constantly take quests and manage your resources to try and survive then? I'm a bit confused as to what this game is supposed to be.
>>341859296
I'm sure the dev team doesn't exactly know what it's supposed to be either.
>>341859048
IGN says it's meant to have multiple different ways you can approach a situation, but I can't really see anything other than a) stealthily rob houses or b) violently rob houses.
If there's more depth to it then I'm interested, the setting has potential.
>>341859296
>So it's more like Pathologic where you need to constantly take quests and manage your resources to try and survive then?
Yes, but without the quests, apparently. There's just one generic goal, surviving long enough and finding your way to a sewer cover to get out of the city.
>>341858897
>2:53

Shieeeeeeeeeeeeet, that's something I'd make in the far cry map editor when I was 13.

>talking to bioshock npcs
>finally a fight
>it's R1 button mashing
oh boy, it's like walking simulators start to discover that there are more mechanics than just walking and finally begin to walk upright, figuratively.
boy, we might see the first walking simulator turn into a full-blown FPS in the next few years and witness how the gaming press hails this as the next new big thing.
>>341859554
No, that's just the build that backers have got. There's going to be a full story and sidequests.
Holy fuck, you idiots, it's not like there's actually anything inherently bad with these "walking simulators" as you call it
>>341859952
>Video game.
>No gameplay.
>>341859952
b-but it's literally the same thing as watching a movie !!
>>341859781
I did like how it had a push too, rather than just a punch like most games, but yeah the combat is pretty lackluster from what I've seen
>>341859952
Sure there is. The less gameplay there is the worse game it is.
>cool trailer with an interesting idea
>Look at gameplay
>It's early access looking shit
There is so much that could be done with a premise like that and yet they make shit.
>>341859952
1: agree that this isn't a walking simulator
2: if a game's only interactive component is primarliy walking with no failure state, it's not a game and doesn't deserve to be called as such
>>341856091
Literally 1984 the game. I'll buy it for sure.

>>341859952
yeah, fuck those nerds who want to interact with the world around them. they have never been to the movies anyways thanks to not leaving their mom's basement.
>actually PLAYING a game
and who has time for that? I just want to kick back on my couch and let the game play itself, maybe press forward once in a while. I'm the fucking boss here, you know, not some kind of karate kid learning how to master a children's toy LOL
>Two thousands and sixteen years have passed since the death of god
>Playing numale games with elementary school tier "social commentary".
Bet they think this is smart too.
>>341860497
It seems more like A Brave New World than 1984 honestly.
>>341860570
That's actually pretty cool, faggot.
>>341860802
Spotted the numale. Anything looks cool when you can barely see through your faggot ass thick rimmed glasses. Rope yourself.
>>341856091
>walking simulator
But there was literally combat in the trailer
>>341860570
Is Camille the only normal one?
>>341859554
Well, what made Pathologic so great, was the dialogue and the overall plot. I am curious about this game, but I have some doubt that the dialogue and plot will be on the same level.
>>341860738
>censorship
>pills
>>341860802
no, it's not. it's a bunch of clowns caring more about their image than about their work. I want 90s programmers back, not those modern hacks.
>>341859048
Is Pathalogic any good? I have had it on my list for ages, tried playing it two days ago and it looks dated as fuck but, I always hear high praise regarding the game.
Is it actually any good or are people pretending it's worthwhile?
>>341861231
and you care more about how they choose to represent themselves than their work, the circle of stupidity is complete
>>341856091
This game is really remindes me of Sir. You're Being Hunted.
I watched some gameplay and it seemed like "Bum Simulator 2016" though what with the guy stealing someone's cooked food from the fire then getting into a fist fight with a bunch of bums. Despite watching like twenty minutes though I'm still not sure what the point of the game is outside of maybe being like a survival game.
>>341856091
It's a procedurally generated horror game. It's going to be total shit.
Lost all interest when the gameplay came out. Why center the trailer around a psychological narrative opening sequence if that's nothing like what you're actually selling to play?
>>341860570

DUDE DRUGS LOL
DUDE DEPRESSION LOL
literally pander to gaming journalist and their faggot friends: the game. Alex Navarro was raving about it... says all you need to know
>>341861304
"Dated as fuck, but one of the most unique immersive games ever made" pretty much sums up Pathologic. I highly recommend it. It looks like wet garbage but I've never had a game stick in my mind like it before.
>>341861342
>he cares about pandering shitty pixeldev walking sims
wew lad
>>341856091
It appeared to be until E3. Looks like they gave a storyline a little more different than "lel you appear on the poor side and have to surivive".
>>341856621
>open world

neo-/v/ please go
judge a game by it's own merits, also it's supposed to be procedural generated as well
>>341856621
>>341856815
>wanting another bioshock game
bioshock infinite was garbage, and bioshock 1/2 (also system shock) were about player choice in approaching situations. We Happy Few, at least on the surface, is supposed to be more about "blending in" instead of combat
>>341860475
>with no failure state
the game pretty clearly has failure states
>>341856091
I can't support games that are this over the head with their adolescent tier social commentary, its pathetic. This might as well be Hunger Games, Maze Runner, Divergent, or some shit like that - that's the level of intelligence involved.
>>341857279
It's got a bad story (for the last half. The beginning was decent and intriguing, even if the fake choices were dumb as shit), but the game play is decent. Pretty fun, decently mobile shooter. Nothing to write home about, but certainly not bad.
Overall, I'd call the game a 5/10, and that's an actual 5/10, not the current scale of "actually 5-10, with 5 being trash and 7 being average"
>>341863747
>open world
>made by today's devs

Am I the only one that thinks the art direction looks like total fucking garbage? This whole game just screams "high school education"
>>341864256

>those fukken walking sfx
dude this game looks like hot ass
>>341858897
very bioshock
>>341856091
I got the sense of pathologic and shock games without the railroading narrative the last few entries have relied on.
I don't really see what there is to hate if they manage to live up to the idea.
This game is getting the weirdest reaction on /v/. I thought /v/ would be into it.
>>341861843
BLASTED
>>341858897
It looks a lot like Sir, you're being hunted. Except with a shittier combat system and quite a bit more depth.
I hate that the inventory screen pauses the game, completely antithetic to the genre.
>>341856091
>Walking Simulator
When will this meme die? You remember how in Bioshock there were moments at the beginning where you walked around with out any weapons? I suppose this makes them walking simulators to you?
>>341856091
>walking simulator
it's a shitty survival game
>>341856091
>it's literally Bioshock Infinte mixed with the Happiness Patrol episode of Dr. Who
I'll pass, thanks.
>>341856091
Just going to be a dumb bioshock clone with a really ugly artstyle
>>341863958
I know, I'm talking about actual walking simulators like Gone Homo, and saying this game isn't one from what I've seen (since you can lose)

This is the closest we'll get to an Equilibrium game I guess.
>>341859639
It's pre-alpha footage. I'm not saying this game is going to be a graphical wonder, but cut it a little slack.
>>341856091
It's a fucking crafting sneaking survival game, the game had already released on early access with betas, it's fucking trash.
>>341866898
>what is Devil May Cry 2/3/4

Oh wait you're talking about Equilibrium's plot. Huh, well, that's weird.

The main objective besides survival is to escape from the town. It is made up of 5 islands, much like Sir.
Isn't Britland already like this?
If you say anything disparaging about any Muslims, aren't you taken to indoctrination camps?
>>341858897
Dude, that video is from 2015, they probably have polished the game.
>>341868918
Almost all of Europe is like that mate.
I don't really get how taking a Brave New World style message with drug use in society is edgy, it's pretty much the opposite.
>>341868918
If you're a retard whose only point of reference about the outside world is /pol/, yes
>>341867301
>GunZ is like Equilibrium
GunZ is neckbeard anime made videogame. It has fuck all to do with Equilibrium.
I'm just waiting for the "Big reveal" being that Joy is the only thing that provides right and proper clarity to the real world around them, which is actually ideal and beautiful, and that a "Downer" is someone who is diseased/derranged and literally only sees the world as this ruined, bombed-out shitheap.
Why is this game getting so many threads now? It's not exactly new.
>>341870628
A well presented demo with good intrigue and suspense.
>people actually think there's a story to be found
do you REALLY not even read into the games you're being hyped for? it's just a singleplayer survival game like Don't Starve and that's it

I realize that you're probably only like 14 but endorphins are endogenous, as in, not drugs. Your body produces them.
You probably meant to link to opioids, which even then would be stupid because morphine just makes you feel sleepy and happy.

Concentrated doses of morphine kill you. Also none of the opioids are hallucinogenic.
Not all drugs have the same effect, dipshit.

Bioshock Infinite was like a young lass; easy on the eyes and the first impression leaves you wanting more, but when you finally get to it, she just kinda lays there and gets a little offended when you're not blown away by the experience.
>>341871702
close, the future is implantable microchips that dose you with whatever chemicals or medications that the government finds best suited for you based off of mandatory mental health screenings and osychological exams undergone during the FEMA Fun centers that they are waiting to round us up in during the inevitable large natural disaster/nuclear war that annihalates 1/3 of the worlds population. Tell me that doesn't sound like them most plausible shit given the narrative their spinning about the recent Orlando club shooter being mentally ill and closeted homo.
