I just finished D4 and there are three things on my mind:

1. Why is Forrest Kaysen(however you spell it) a supporting character now? In fact, why is he alive, period?

2. Why has SWERY devolved from the likes of DP and D4 to tranny propaganda? I'm not kidding, look up The Missing's ending if you don't know. It's so horrid that I'll eat my socks if The Good Life isn't just as bad.

3. What other good mystery games are there? I've already played Ace Attorney, Professor Layton, Danganronpa, Umineko, and Zero Escape. I need more games that will activate the everloving shit out of my almonds. Unless I should just read some Agatha Christie and find a new genre of vidya to move on to.

Pic semi-related, Duckman's a detective.

>1. Why is Forrest Kaysen(however you spell it) a supporting character now? In fact, why is he alive, period?

Because he's not the same FK from Deadly Premonitions, nor the same one as Spy Fiction's. Swery65 is just like Kojimbo, Suda51 and the others, they just reuse assets and names since it gives their games a "(((Tarantino)))" vibe to them. In Swery's case I recall reading that they modified Spy Fiction's Forrest Kaysen because they were strapped for cash when they reworked DP to be less like a one-to-one copy of Twin Peaks and already had the royalties on the original model anyhow.

>2. Why has SWERY devolved from the likes of DP and D4 to tranny propaganda? I'm not kidding, look up The Missing's ending if you don't know. It's so horrid that I'll eat my socks if The Good Life isn't just as bad.

Wait isn't D4 an unfinished game? I recall it being episodic for the XBONE and no one buying it because of the Kinect meme. Also AFAIK there have always been trannies and homos, like pic related (though to be honest I felt really sorry for how he got manipulated into being even more of a fag).

Ghost Trick

Another Code

Broken Sword

Puzzle Agent

The Touch Detective series

Sanitarium

I guess The World Ends With You has some elements of a mystery game since you need to explain some paranormal bullshit but I'll suggest it either way cause it's that good on its own merits

Then after this it gets a bit murky in the details because most Point and Click adventure games can be classified as "mystery", Sam&Max technically is all about solving zany schemes.


f67db5  No.16148873

Oh yeah also about DP's Forrest Kaysen, he's dead forever, but he was just a man who obeyed the Eldritch God that was taking the form of his companion dalmatian dog. He's dead but the horrors will still linger on.

>>16148868

I actually never played Spy Fiction, that's really good to know about Forrest. Thanks for the post in general, in fact. I actually need to get back to Touch Detective, so the reminder is appreciated.

>isn't D4 an unfinished game?

Yep. Just one episode with two and a half chapters. It also came out on PC, but I feel like I'm missing a lot by using a mouse and keyboard instead of the Kinect, even though it's the (((Kinect.)))

>though to be honest I felt really sorry for how he got manipulated into being even more of a fag

I'm sure if he wasn't manipulated, he'd just be effeminate, but not a fudge packer. Right?

The 1997 PC one, I'm assuming. Either way, nope. The aforementioned 1997 game looks interesting, sidequels are always a great concept. Should I rewatch the movie before I play it?

Yeah, that's the one. It has a cool mechanic where the identity of the replicants is randomized, so you can't just look it up and get the best ending. You actually have to do detective work.

>Should I rewatch the movie before I play it?

Not really, it's a remake of the same story.

A lot of the attention he gets is from the gaming press, which as we know is populated almost exclusively by sodomite activists. He wants to build himself as a brand, so he's throwing them a bone to keep them in support of him.

You should definitely see about giving the book a read. From what I heard, the movie pozzed a lot of it up.

np man, also no Thomas was queer from the get go but only showed tendencies after female competition showed up, it's also telling that hadn't it been for the red seeds he'd have been still a queer but at least a "pure" one, as the ending shows him becoming one with the other forest ladies

anyhow I can't believe I forgot about this

He's a massive alcoholic and he exclusively hangs around the San Francisco indie game scene, just put the pieces together.

Hell the fact that he was fired from Access Games due to his alcoholism should be an obvious enough clue on why his solo stuff is worse.

The book has sweet fuckall to do with the movie. Nobody who made the movie even read more than the first chapter of the book. even the name blade runner came from a different story. the only thing that they did take from the book is some of the character names and deckard's job.

it's not even a matter of simply pozzing it up its totally different story. mood organs, mercerism and empathy boxes, that whole part with the second police force set up by the androids where everything gets turned on its head, radioactive dust turning people into chicken heads and all the dudes wearing lead codpieces, fucking mars and buster friendly, the fact that every human is obligated to care for an animal, all gone

Thomas was an actual character and not obviously a vehicle to push a political message. The disclaimer in The Missing's intro screams, "Warning: tumblr-tier soapboxing ahead"

Ah, I see how it is. Still better than just randomly making characters identify as asexual I guess but not by that much. And yeah, what most modern devs don't understand is that someone being a tranny should either be for an aesthetic choice that drives the character's look or PART of their personality, not the WHOLE of it. Then again, most trannies and drag queens have no personality to begin with.

SWERY is a hack fraud who has made like 2 worthwhile games and both were disastrous. deadly premonition is barely playable in whichever platform you install it and it was clearly rushed at the end with that nonsensical fucking ending. And D4 was never finished, that says it fucking all. there's nothing worse than leaving your fanbase blueballed like that.

I hope The Good Life (is that what it was called?) doesn't suck but I'm not holding my breath.

>>16149863

deadly premonition was fine, and the ending also was fine. what part of it was nonsensical to you? the entire setup with the meta-protagonist was done better than in something like Killer 7, and I really like how SWERY kept the dream ending vague up until the twist with the time-skip, confirming it was all real

never played D4, so you're right there at least

>they just reuse assets and names since it gives their games a "(((Tarantino)))" vibe to them.

re-using character names, themes, and imagery is a way older artistic technique than friggen Tarantino, many authors use this in novels (Nabokov, Updike, Salinger, etc). it's a way to keep a pseudo-cohesive "universe" to the story. David Lynch also does the same thing, so it's also a homage.

>never played D4, so you're right there at least

D4 was probably the weirdest shit he made yet. Time travel, catgirls, magic drugs (Swery seems to love magic drugs), deflecting knives with chewing gum, a man who can de-bone an entire fish with his mouth, avant garde, combat baseball on an airliner, Boston accents, and an obsession with the letter D. It's a fucking tragedy it will never be finished.

and all it would have took to finish it is swery putting down the beer for a minute. I'm fully expecting him to run our of The Good Life's kickstarter funds because he spent it all on booze and trips to San Fransisco

on ps3, the game runs at 10fps. on xbox, it looks like a 144p game. on PC, it crashes constantly.

the ending was also very clearly rushed. it feels like keysen was a red herring but then they said "fuck it, we're out of time and money, make him the real villain, turn him into a massive frog monster or some shit". and then they just made keysen become a giant whose only weakpoint is a human-sized doll of himself that he hides in his front pocket. was the whole keysen fight real or was the entire game a drugtrip caused by red seed gas? i cant even tell.

>>16150357

D4 looked good. but all of the good it had was invalidated by the fact they're never gonna finish it.

No worries, he's also suckering a bunch of dumbasses into funding him too. The Kickstarter was apparently just a third of the total budget. He's going to drink their wallets dry.

no, it wasn't. you disliking the real murderer does not mean it was rushed. I suspected Keysen when you found him with that chick in the museum, turns out, yes, he was messing with and fucking her like a hooker.

the end-boss fight is goofy, but not anymore goofy than the sheriff turning into a dragon ball z villain

oh, and keysen starting off as an innocuous country bumpkin and having it turn out he's some sort of evil fantasy villain who does very real things like rape and extortion is so Lynchian it hurts. he's obviously like BOB from twin peaks.
