I'm getting filtered so hard. Is the first game any easier?

How? I cannot make any progress in the city. I have not found a single party member and I'm getting raped by the mob, Needles, Deathmask or that one wasp thing in the garage.
Go west past the headless dogs and you'll get Abella.
You can get Marina and Levi on day 1 as well but you have to be able to get to the church and restaurant. Getting O'saa on Day 1 is possible as well but rather hard.
i don't know about the other anons, but i'm having the same experience even though i finished 1. getting kind of sad losing over an hour of exploration, but the first one sometimes kind of went like that for me at least
There is no shame in playing on the easy mode in this game for a first playthrough.
Doesn't it also remove enemies and lock you out of content?
In Termina as far as I'm concerned you still get the same game, I don't think it removes any enemies but the mob no longer shows up and there aren't any bear traps in the village or mines in the city. Maso mode is when new enemies show up. You can still access secret bosses on easy mode assuming you still do what is required.
I call bullshit on this post.
There's no fucking way you're making it to the mob, but still don't have a single fucking party member.
first game is harder
I can't do
>This game hates you
Genre like this and pathologic. I don't get it.
same, I tried the first one and couldn't make any progress at all
I LOVE “hates you” games. Recommend me some.
LISA
Already played it!
Pointless was a much better “hates you” game, if not just a better game in general, than the original. Shame it seems discontinued.
I believe in the Monster Update.
Try Marrow
TLDR on it?
2D platformer really shit not worth your time
Here's a full playthrough of it
Eh, doesn't look too bad but I'm not big on platformers.
>Nazi Furry
My favorite game.
Looks like a game I'd never play
looks fucking terrible
rain world and wizardry 4
Because you are a moron. I mean literally. If you play le Dark Souls and enjoy it but get filtered by Path and Fear and Hunger goy and onions slop have rotted your brain to the point you are no longer capable of experiencing art in the media of video games. It's akin to not being about to watch an art film and understand the concepts being presented. Your ADHD riddled goy brain is bored and craves the Marvel syrup.

Pathologic (both of them) isn't nearly as bad as Fear and Hunger. 1 is easy to cheese and 2 just requires you to use all the options the game offers you. The only way you can get RNGed in Pathologic 2 is when the plague plays for keeps on the penultimate day, because it can insta kill certain characters if they're already infected. Beyond that, nothing is nearly is unfair as it is in FnH
>so defensive about his maso fetish he mindbreaks whenever someone doesn't understand
calm down mate some people are masos and some aren't. It's fine.
You can find good items in the toilet in the Prehevil village, enough to get you started.
It's really easy just shoot everything really
is this actually good or just a meme game
It's survival horror but if you figure it out it's not too hard.
i didn't ask if it was hard i asked if it was good
On a gameplay level, it's functional. Turn based combat with a focus on dismemberment. Each character plays somewhat differently when you're the PC. Storywise and overall environment is what makes it fun.
It's unlike anything else out there, is needlessly punishing, and requires a certain amount of masochism to enjoy
The developer is a deranged perverted plagiarist, and the game's gimmick is being very player-hostile. What do you think?
I still can't believe he plagiarized Jesus Christ.
It has cool concepts like the limb system.
Eh, I feel it could have more depth, as it is it's just a 'your run is fucked' RNG thing
I think it's good, but it's a really thin line. I went in blind into the second game and it felt good to make progress early on, and it felt very mysterious. But it can quickly lead to tedium as you just trial and error through shit over and over again. It can feel like a 30 hour session of Simon Says, in a way. After 10 hours I started to look up how to recruit people and try to figure out what was strong, because even the Hexen doesn't tell you what the fuck the ability does. I don't regret using the wiki at all.
>because even the Hexen doesn't tell you what the fuck the ability does.
That part was always just bad game design, I have no idea why it was never fixed
yeah I mean there's a level of mystery and figuring out stuff yourself, and then this game, that literally just tells you nothing about any part of it. I know people talk about it in here, but am I the only one that finds the internal logic of GUARDING to avoid the coin flip of a static bear trap in a fight completely retarded? Like, even if you shoot a gun, you still take the coin flip, as if you walked into it to take the shot? But guarding and standing still makes you DODGE the bear trap?
I mean, once you know, you know, but that kind of stuff feels stupid to me. But that's the whole game "once you know, you know", and you repeat that 500 times and is exacerbated by the very limited number of saves and trying to find safe places to even save in the first place. I'm kind of shitting on it right now but I do think it has its moments. Even if they are rife with blatant "burrowing" of things from other games
>But guarding and standing still makes you DODGE the bear trap?
Technically, you jump over it when you 'guard' those. But yeah, the name 'guard' isn't the most indicative of what it does in relation to coin toss.
Hell, you don't even know when a coin toss is unguardable.
Yeah i'm on my first playthough and every enemy that isn't the basic villager or bobby type is basically a game over when you seee it for the first time.
It's a Frankenstein monster of a game, so there's bound to be some parts you won't like. If you like feeling helpless and barely scraping by when playing survival horror then the game's exactly what you've been looking for, otherwise I can't tell if you'll enjoy it or not.
it's a good meme game
It depends on how much of an ADHD riddled gay you are. If you are too far gone you won't be able to do it. If you look at a mountain and say "sheeee bro, why people be climbing dat shiet?" then this isn't for you.
>Just got F+H 1
>Get to some guy with a meat cleaver
>Cut off the arm holding the weapon
>He grows a stinger dick
>Cut his stinger dick off
>Coin flips on screen...wut?
>He "charges" me and I die from basically full health .
Lame. Besides the coin flip shit I was enjoying it.
You have to guard the coin flip and you're warned before they happen.
The one with Buddy was shit.
No, it's harder until you figure out the empty scrolls and skill combination that trivialize it.
We need more Karin.
Busy drawing little gnomish merchant e-bois, sorry.
Too bad. Oh well you already provided a lot of Karins.
It's at least fortunate we're getting more of Karin's Karins now.
So what exactly is this game anyways, some kind of edgy majora's mask fangame?
>intense daberoni
wow a F&H thread after almost 2 months? did Miro finally update the game again?
We only stopping having daily ones like two weeks ago.
doesn't feel like it. Been checking the catalogue usually guess I've been missing them
It's been a long two weeks. That or my perception of time is fucked.
Hopefully Karin's war covering keep us alive until Miro does update.
I wish
who are you playing as?
tan
aka
He does want no trouble.
The first game is only easier in the sense that you can cheese saves easily if you figure out the trick behind one bed and also has way less content to get stuck on/a smaller world to navigate.
What's up with FH having virtually zero cults, churches, and followers despite being the new world order?
>Alll-mer always depicted as a skinny twink despite being roided up and huge
More icons should just depict her as a cute little girl. Easy fix.
Seems like she got rolled up into Alll-Mer's cult in Prehevil at least. Prehevil just happen to be extremely Alll-Mer aligned.
Nice art
Wish we had more theology on the gods that isn't just lore exposition. Rher is the only one with some semblence of a personality
Nice art but when the girl talk to you, she doesn't seem to want to make anyone suffer like she did. She isn't doing anything out of revenge and even tell you its beautiful in a way.
Fear and Hunger was just what the world needed and that's what she knew so that's what she provided.
What's supposed to be the IRL equivalent of fear and hunger anyways? Protestantism? The enlightenment?
I'm guessing the Enlightenment.
That's a fair trade I guess. We're getting more stuff for The Girl too.
It's good people are finally understanding how cute the girl is.
True. Just need them to finally understand how crazy D'Arce can get and it'll be perfect.
Love the weird huge explosion in girl arts.
There used to be like 5 piece of art of her. I love that we're getting more.
>Two kill with one shot
Nice
We still need more.
I need a picture of her smoking opium and drinking a bottle of whisky.
I don't think I have that and if I do, it's lost in my F&H image folder that got way too big.
Cute rabbit
Nice feet
>A FUCKING DOG resists going insane, meanwhile every single human succumbs eventually
Love that art. I'm still mad cursing the dagger count as the girl not having the dagger.
I don't think the gods are meant to have a concrete theology in the way most stories tell them. They're not meant to have personality, they have motivations that are entirely unrelatable.
There are obviously two pressing questions and I think they have some pretty clear answers:
a) Is it intelligent design. No, the gods clearly just threw shit at a wall and humans are what stuck i.e. having the means to reproduce and evolving the capacity for social groups. We can see from all the other horrible shit in the world that evolution plays less a part in things existing than just an infinite number of accidents that are vicious enough to survive.
b) What is the basis of all this magical horseshit? First, magic is just science we haven't figured out yet. Second, much of the magic of the world has been figured out and harnessed by humans to the best of their ability. Third, the truly horrible shit (Termina) is to be treated much in the way a hurricane is treated - we just kinda deal with it.
This brings us to the New God Old God stuff. The process is gated by reaching a "Heaven" that is gated by a location that will guarantee madness if not death within a few days of dwelling in that area. After thorough scientific research (i.e. throwing prisoners into the Dungeons), this place is essentially radioactive and so it will be treated like we treat a radioactive hellscape - we put up warning signs and leave it alone. Do people brave the Dungeons or do they live a normal life? History will show that yes, All-Mer did ascend from the Dungeons however, history also will show that it takes hundreds if not thousands of years for a God to come forward. Every generation there will be brave or mad souls who make an attempt at the Dungeons but everyone knows they never come back. In a way, it's like us waiting for Jesus to come back. One day one of these many prophets will be the real deal but nobody is going to live differently.
O LORDZ
GIVEZ
MEMEZ
Here's your meme, bro.
ez gaem gg
This is so incredibly satisfying. My boy Levi does it again.
this one of them schizo games?
Not really, the lore is surprisingly straightforward
No not really. This is more of a “I like getting anally raped by sandpaper”. If you want schizo games just go for Black Souls or something
She's so cute with her Cahara doll!
It's okay whenever he isn't talking about COVID or has a furry call me 'knucklehead'.
This gives me ASMR for some reason
What is your opinion of Miro’s prose?
His writing style seems passable but he commits the cardinal “fanfiction” sin of writing waaay too much, when shorter dialogue would have had a strong impact
Now that we have an active thread, let’s hope VK makes actual funny memes this time
>Now that we have an active thread
It had been a while honestly, I'm happy to see a new thread. Hopefully it doesn't die once dead hours arrive.
>let’s hope VK makes actual funny memes this time
What's VK?
Russian Facebook. The only FH community besides Ganker that unapologetically lusts for dicky
Russians are crazy but their meme game could use some work honestly.
>Get ready for a fight
>he vaporizes an ancient, unbeatable mage in an instant before the fight even begins
That moment was so fucking cool, you just knew you're fucked
Yup, it's especially cool because Nas'rah was literally immortal up until this point IIRC, he literally couldn't die and was always a 1 HP.
>how do I convey to mortals that they should not fear the imminent destruction I am about to bring upon them?
>Ah yes, I shall wear the skins of men, women and children all, that way they all can relate to me and be at ease 🙂
That was the Old God equivalent of a 'How do you do, fellow kids?', pls understand.
In his defense, there was no God of Fear & Hunger back then so fear was probably an iffy concept in his days.
the furry fatman is going to do a video on the games. I wonder what the reaction is going to be
who?
pyrocynical
Id say get ready for a wave of zoomies, but they’re already all over the discord
I think the only negative to F&H getting mainstream attention at this point is that it might set off the Twitter folx. And I dont think the dev could handle that
Holy shit, we're gonna be flooded by normies.
>furry fatman
do you have any idea how little that narrows it down
Why would you start with the second game and not the first?
I honestly think Termina is more friendly to get into, with its person-like characters you're introduced to right away.
Only trannies love this videogame
Clearly you’ve never seen this game’s Russian fanbase
I want to rub D'arce's feet after trudging through the dungeons for hours on end.
When will he be playable?!?!
Good ending
Why did our threads stop?
I missed talking about the characters
I thought that it was a nice touch that some of the doppelgangers were actually non-violent owing to the fact that the person they based themselves from were in fact a good person.
I liked that the Karin doppleganger didn't have a frame that betrayed their creepy face or something AND that we didn't encounter them in-person. Most games would have a doppelganger for every character but only having a few was good.
I wish there was some kind of ending where everyone could be saved. But he implemented too many contestants for that to be easily done.
Miro's slowly adding new content and it isn't like he hasn't added endings to the game or changed them before.
Problem is that in order for an ending to be good it must be more than dependent on a few binary choices to check off a couple internal tags. New content has to be woven and integrated into the whole story, it can't be just some random room off to the side where there's a boss fight like some of the fights that were injected into the game.
Meaningful content the game needs needed to be something intended from the get-go to have weight and meaning. Tacking it on after the fact after you released the game is a mistake.
I dunno, people like the S endings a whole lot and those were implemented after the original release of F&H1, no?
I don't know when the S endings were added. They were there already when I played the game. But they prove my point, they felt tacked on and only possible through specific steps that didn't really make it clear you were significantly impacting the outcome. They were to me secret endings more than anything.
the first game had a better atmosphere
what exactly was their plan again?
miss this little bro like you wouldn't believe
I think the Marriage was a casualty of the expanded dialogue in Termina. The devs probably didnt want to code a couple hundred more lines for characters reacting to you as a freaky ghoul on Day 1 or Day 2. Plus it would spoil a lot of the character-specific generic endings
But hey maybe its coming in the next update? If its locked to Day 3 and only on certain routes, I dont think itd be a problem. Could even be fun trying to figure out which characters consent to other specific characters, or not
I'm late I know, weeks late even.
For :
Big Karen
Hahaha, fucking nice!
never too late, noice
thanks !
630517938 you're opinion is discarded. Your picture is as low quality as your opinion. Couldn't even be bothered to use a png
No I'm not getting dick faced.
Any cool idea for a monster? The contest Is still up
I'm not giving my ideas to a developer that's listening to the worst kind of person on the earth.
Drawing for shit and giggle for anons on Ganker ? Yes.
Spending a second so that a shithead will try to copycat and plagia it ? No.
such spite, yikes
be better, sweaty
Something based off of Rat Kings as an alternate encounter to the rat men ambush?
I wanted to draw a crucified Jesus figure made of brains and clothed in human skin, but apparently Miro’s not looking for boss-type enemies
Just as well, Im shit at art lel
do tell, maybe I can somehow draw it.
And it's still yours if you want to submit it
Nah I dont need to submit anything, but thanks anyway.
The idea is that the cross is made of bone, its essentially a skull viewed from the bottom that has been unfolded into a crucifix-like shape
And imprisoned on the bone cross is the “brain,” but its like a human made of brain matter. And he has a huge strand of skin (from a giant neck proportional to the skull?) stretched over his body like clothing
Basically just a big decapitated head that transformed into a cross, Transformers-style
in short, yes. there's a point that i think everyone reaches where you suddenly 'get' the game and it starts making sense, until then though a couple hours of frustration are unavoidable, unless you use a guide and ruin your overall experience.
>woolie recently talked about playing fear and hunger 1
did not fucking expect him to ever even hear about this game. the tubers are becoming aware, get ready.
Miroreally should've made that girl mod canon so more tards could be filtered.
Unironically consider necking yourself for even knowing that.
i listen to the podcast sometimes in the background, sue me.
I will, expect a delegation shortly.
woolie should unironically kill himself same as virtually everyone else who was part of best friends play besides maybe pat
pat is way more annoying than woolie or even matt, that gay is obnoxious.
I've covered wars, you know.
If Miro does S endings for Termina, I hope Karin's involves
>killing the kaiser
>killing all Bremen enemies
>saving everyone
>somehow talking down the Machine God into letting her go via a long diplomacy conversation check
And it ends with her not only doing an expose about literally winning the war by assassinating the Bremen kaiser, but also uncovering a plot to dissolve all nations and people under one man-made god and somehow ushering in an age of facts and logic.
>The God of FACTS and LOGIC ending
i play d'arce every time in f&h1 to protect her innocence
>TFW no ideas for the monsters in the contest
It's literally gonna be only one bruh
D'arce is for cuddles, feet rubs and whispering sweet nothings to until her switch is flipped and her psycho/possessive side comes out and she suddenly turns succubus long enough to milk you dry then apologizes profusely the next morning telling you she's 'really embarrassed' and 'doesn't know what came over her'
>doesn't know what came over her
Not "what" - "who". And the answer is me. I came all over her.
>
