What took you so fricking long?
Now do stephen sausage roll
Joseph?
How good is it? I heard it was difficult but I don't get how
Best puzzle game along with Portal. It has that thing that everytime you feel blocked and have no idea how to advance until you notice a tiny new info which keeps the game flowing. Very satisfying
This, Portal and Catherine are the three best contemporary puzzles games.
It's really great, because the characters don't namedrop each other, so after seeing all the memories you will only have around 8 people called by their name out of a crew of 60! The rest you have to deduce from the contextual and visual clues. One of the best detective games out there, I think you will not regret playing it.
It's good. The Chinese guys are bullshit though I had to look them up
Yeah, worst thing is that they all have just one proper way to solve their identities. Certain characters get three or more, but the Chinese topmen have only one approach, which is not obvious.
>but the Chinese topmen have only one approach, which is not obvious.
One of them is straight out given to you, if you can put together that he's eating next to his hammock at the beginning of The Doom.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. 3 out of 4 of the Chinese topmen have only one approach, which is not obvious.
Funnily enough I figured out the Chinese guys, the guy I got stuck on was the ship steward because I thought he got spiked and didn't realize for like, an hour he actually got shot
>looking anything up
You didn't beat the game
Literally didn't beat the game. How unfortunate, since you can only play it once.
>Looking stuff up in Obra Dinn
Literally ruined your game experience, jesus christ, I'm sorry for you.
It's pretty good. It's not going to present an incredible challenge if your childhood involved those logic puzzle books... some elements of the story bother me as well... but over all definitely worth a buy.
One of the best detective/puzzle games ever made
It's difficult in the sense you might feel like you have to brute force some identities but there's actually enough clues to identify everyone.
If more games were like it, I would actually still enjoy playing video games.
>5 days
The game is like ~7 hours long at most. I'm slow as frick and I only took 7 hours.
>look them up
even if you didn't get the shoes doing it via guesswork isn't hard, there are only 4 of them.
Extremely reparative and over rated. Art style is 10/10 but it's tiresome after half way through. Solid 6/10 overall, will never replay.
>5 days
shitty bait, but I ran through it in 2. no regerts
I never beat it because I literally could not see a guy who was dying in one of the scenes. Like some dude is getting blasted by a cannon while the giant squid is attacking but some other guy is noted to have died in the scene and despite staring at the scene for an eternity I could never fricking see him.
There is a button to highlight bodies
Pretty sure it's someone who drowned after going overboard in the preceding scene
The guy is also blasted by the canon, only his body is already blown out of the ship. You can tell this from the next memory where he is holding the guy who is shot just seconds afterwards.
I see what you are talking about. What do you need his body for? Just activate the memory of the other guy since they both die at the same time
Some people like
are stumped by the lack of a body and I agree that it is very unclear, unless you just power through the confusion and go to the next memory straight away.
he was eaten by the beast. You won't find the body. And you can only figure it out by process of elimination
Drowned by a beast, thrown overboard and shot by a cannon all work there too.
You can even blame it on the indian dude and get his surviving poo-family fined.
>You can reinterpret the truth to suit your own whims
This game is 10/10
It's easy, the Captain did it
>5 days
So you played like an hour and a half to 2 hours a day? I think I finished it in two sittings, I wanted to see what was going to happen next.
I also finished it in two settings, about 2 hours each. Really engrossing game, although the secret chapter is merely there for the story and doesn't bring any challenge, but that is ok.
And even storywise, I expected a form of twist that recontextualizes the events. The only halve negative I have for this game
>tfw maybe i can play this game again in 10 years
Very fun game, sad that Lucas seems to have no intentions of revisiting this style of game.
If you had to guess the Chinese sailors or the brothers you're a brainlet
>If you had to guess the Chinese sailors or the brothers you're a brainlet
Once you realized the trick for the chinese guys it's easy, but honestly I didn't realize they all wore different shoes.
hell yeah, nice work
It took me 1.5 days, and I loved every minute of it EXCEPT that by the last several vignettes I got annoyed having to wait for the music to end to exit, since a lot of those scenes either had very little to deduce or you already knew most of it from process of elimination.
Wtf was his problem?
mermaid pusy
Just a greedy, evil fricker. That and the Cannoneer's mate.
The polish dude? He had to survive all of the supernatural shit before he chose to betray the captain. Nichols did it without provocation.
He still stabbed the frick out of the midshipman instead of finding any other way to subdue him. Even the other mutineers were like "WHOA, bro".
He had to survive two battles with sea creatures before becoming homicidal. Nichols did his murders purely out of greed. They cannot be compared.
Greed.
He didn't actually do anything wrong aside from getting extremely unlucky
He's not the reason why the ship got attacked the only way he actually screwed up was keeping the mermaid bodies but there was no way he could've known they were linked to the chest
Aside from that the people he killed was in self-defense and he let everyone else go who wanted to leave
One of my absolute favorite characters. He's basically pirate John Wick or pirate Jason Bourne.
I find Outer Wilds to be similar but I much prefer the gameplay of this one. I actually haven't finished Outer Wilds yet because of this (I'll get to it later). I find it to be much more frustrating and aimless.
>One of my absolute favorite characters. He's basically pirate John Wick or pirate Jason Bourne.
He's not pirate anything, he's a merchant ship captain.
Oh yeah I assumed people in the game are pirates but I forgot pirates are criminals. My monkey brain thinks
>Old timey men at sea on a ship? Must be pirates.
He's still a badass though.
>He didn't actually do anything wrong aside from getting extremely unlucky
He killed the entire crew with an axe
>there's an achievement for blaming everything on him anyway
Truly, the shipping company is the real evil
man, frick getting that achievement. The minute long wait you have to do before each scene, and the wait afterwards, and the slow walking and all the other waiting makes getting it such a bore.
I did it during a second no-guessing run, using the captain's name as a checkmark when I made the connection with the clue in my head.
>I did it during a second no-guessing run
wut. Do you have alzheimer's or something
>Alzheimer's makes you forget what happens in games so you can experience games for the first time again
Wtf. Now I want Alzheimer's.
What, you didn't a separate run where you blamed random sailors for murders they didn't commit? "Samuel Peters was clubbed by Lars Linde" No?
It was a run to finish looking for the clues for the 1/4 or so identities I guessed. Since you're blaming it on the captain, it won't activate the fates mechanic (aside from everyone in the last chapter).
so is this worth playing or not
Yes. If you're gonna buy it I'd say wait for a sale though since it's short. Very good though
I realized I'm a brainlet playing this game. I'm too fricking stupid bros. I enjoyed the cinematics of it though. I have only 9 successful names. Even after going thru all chapters. I'm thinking about starting over and when faced unblur really look around for how they could have been guessed. Kept finding new unblurred faces and I'm like when the frick was this guy even able to be known. I did notice things like numbers on the hammocks and other details but still man I'm confirmed moron.
But who was phone?
>mfw nearly everybody who plays this game fails to pick up that the one person wearing a french sailor's shirt is the sole french man in the crew manifest
I legit though this guys tattoos were celtic because white supremascists love to do these spiraling patterns. Was looking for Irish or Scottish topmen. Didn't know that Polynesian cultures have that too.
To be fair, the body tattoos are hard to make accurate with the art style so it's easy to get that confused. The real giveaway is that he had facial tattoos.
Literally the same. The hair style also looked like the kind of shit a Scot/Irishmen would have.
I got confused because it was the beginning of the game and I didn't realize not every crewmate has a visual confirmation of their death
I remember getting the Irish dude just by scrolling through the faces and thought "Yeah, that c**t looks like an alcoholic. Probably the leprechaun". Felt like my IQ was 200 that day.
i quit the game because of this. homosexual dev shouldve done his research if visual clues are going to be used.
But he did? What is your problem?
incorrect visual clues obviously
What is incorrect? The guy shown in the picture has polynesian tattoos and the french guy has a mariniere? What clues are wrong?
>has polynesian tattoo
no he doesnt. sounds like you need to do some research as well homosexual
???
Even if you don't consider the spirals Polynesian (they still use them in their tattoos), the guy has face tattoos, which would not seen on any European at the time. They are clearly seen during the whole "Doom" chapter in different lighting conditions.
nice goalpost moving homosexual.
polys have spirals no shit. what i said was the tattoos shown are nothing like any poly tatoos in existence.
hence why homosexual you and homosexual dev needs to do research before making incorrect clues
He's not even Polynesian you spaz
I didn't move any goal posts. My original point was tattoos, which include face tattoos. What kind of a sailor would tattoo something on their face in the onset of the 19th century? It is either the Polynesian or the African sailor.
I assume you didn't notice the face tattoos and are currently lashing out on me. It's ok, we all make mistakes. There was no mistake on the developer's part, though.
Shut the frick up, sperg.
Visual clues like the tribal tattoos and a single Papuan in the crew list?
This guy and Frenchie were the two biggest badasses among the crew
>Captcha 00AHA
Nah, brennan was beastmode the entire story. Lasted til' the end and probably had the highest legitimate bodycount.
The real hero was boss Black person taking the crab with him.
>>mfw nearly everybody who plays this game fails to pick up that the one person wearing a french sailor's shirt is the sole french man in the crew manifest
I got that. Did people struggle with that or something?
>I legit though this guys tattoos were celtic because white supremascists love to do these spiraling patterns.
>Literally the same
I got him that way.
Couldn't get into it. The premise is interesting and the main idea of the game is intriguing, but then I figured out something about me: I do not care about mystery games. I noticed I was not invested at all in the main mystery and I just stopped playing midway through.
So why did his estate get fined? He didn't actually do anything wrong
There is no accidental clause for gun-related fatalities in your magical book. East India Company doesn't care.
I felt so bad for this guy, he constantly fought to protect the ship and his steward and got his skull bashed in over a misunderstanding. Then he gets fined for trying to save the last midshipman.
>someone dies a horrible death
>this song plays
The crabriders looked spooky as hell, 10/10 designs and translated perfectly to the art style.
It's supposed to be a fighting tune, the bells used are the same ones actual ship crews would ring during battles and enemies boarding the ship.
Not gonna lie, this guy probably got the shittiest death
for the joke, yes
literally, though, the guys torn apart were probably a little worse than being crushed
I couldn't figure everything out because of the hammocks. Oh well, still an excellent game even if I missed some clues here and there. Sadly there isn't really anything like it.
Did you pass the racism filter, Ganker?
How realistic was it for a black man from Jefferson's America to be a carpenter for hire with a white assistant? If he was British I could kinda see it...
It's really not crazy even a little bit. A craftsman isn't anything crazy and moors and Blacks were the most common at ports and on ships
I guess. There were what, around 30,000 free blacks when America became independent. Some of them might have been carpenters.
No, I thought he was the assistant but not because he was black, it was because his assistant was the one actually doing carpentry shit in the room during the attack so I thought "oh he's must be the assistant"
kek I still find it unrealistic he was the not the mate in a game with mermaids and krakens
I don’t get. It’s too hard for me. Everyone looks the same. Am I autistic?
>got stuck because I kept labeling the mermaids as enemy instead of monster without even even realizing it it
The disappearances section filters me too hard
these two were easy. Eat fish oil
I got the beanie guy as one of my last few by process of elimination. Thought he was the game's final boss and you're not supposed to know who it is until the very end despite encountering him at the very beginning, but then I looked it up online and someone actually calls him by his name early on. I dunno, the circumstances surrounding that scene suggested to me that he's looking for another man to kill.
how did you figure out the 4 taiwanese names with no guessing?
The Taiwanese passangers are actually easy, because three of them get called by their names. The Chinese topmen on the other hand are hard to guess on your own.
Of the four chinese topmen, one is pretty much a freebie since he's seen right beside his numbered hammock. So you're left with 3, just right for guessing if you didn't notice the shoe-clues.
I always put placeholder names that I though were in the same ballpark until I got enough clues to make a proper guess, accidentally guessed every single chinaman correctly, kinda feel robbed of the frustration that I see people had in these threads
I got one of them the guy who got shocked correctly because of the hammock but the rest I just guessed randomly until I got it, lol
Still making space to pirate it.
ah frick an obra dinn thread!?
I hate the chalter that takes place in the rowboats. It’s such a pain moving between those stories, especially in the right order. My only complaint is that there should be some compendium where you can open up a list and view all the events this way. Even if you could virw them in chronological order, it wouldn’t be a big deal since that’s not exactly difficult to figure out, anyway. Finding the right scene can be really obnoxious sometimes
>didn't realize one of the women has a wedding ring and that's how you tell who "Miss Jane Bird" is
>didn't notice the shoes of the Chinese men
>forgot that the doctor said he was in Morocco which is how you know where he and everyone disappeared to
>thought Maba was the Frenchman, didn't even realize his tattoos were Polynesian thought they were just random, sick looking tattoos
>had no idea how to distinguish the Russians, didn't notice Aleksei's hammock has his pipe
>just bruteforced all of the above
Bruteforcing is so damn easy especially with the people from the same country. There should've been more dud causes of death and disappearance locations.
I was disappointed when no one actually got cannibalized
Belay sp-ACK
I could swear the guy who got crushed against the wall by a cannon sounded Scottish but was actually English. Did I miss something?
How would you rank all the crew?
The 3 midshipmen are elder god tier
Brennan should be in A tier, aside from the mutiny he was always balls deep in the action.
I beat it in around 4 hours and I consider myself a brainlet.
Really good game. Got stuck at the start with the Kraken because I forgot to look up.
How many hours exactly? Didn't want to buy it because of its length.
~6 hours, a little longer if you're slow, a little shorter if you catch on quick
Thanks, time to set sail.
going through all the death scenes is 4 hours or so, then it depends on how much and how fast you want to solve or guess
Chioh-Tan and Bun-Lan-Lim were fricking, weren't they?
