@dareitus: No I get that it's meant to be hidden, but it's so hidden and I found I had to mouse over it just so to trigger it. This was after I found out about it from dialogue, but until I actually got it out of there I couldn't even confront the wife about it.

@chaser324 So if you intend to keep playing to figure it out don't read this. But if you want to understand more and you're done with the game - I will just say that this stuff just makes me dislike the game even more than I did initially with the bad twist.

Almost none of this game actually happens. Nothing in the apartment occurs. It's all a therapy session. The only things real are you are actually in love with your biological sister. The "cop" is actually your dad. You never killed him. You never had a baby with your sister. It's all hypothetical therapy that your father, who is a hypnotic and not a cop or a guy with loads of enemies like the wife suggests, puts you through when you come to him explaining you've met a girl and he finds out that the girl is his daughter.

All the events in the apartment are just you and him talking through scenarios. None of them ever happen. Your wife is never pregnant. She's never even your wife. The baby doesn't exist.
At the very start of the game, before the first loop, you can hear your dad/cop/therapists voice coming from the room with the crying baby. It's also why you can't go back out of the apartment because once you're in the apartment that's you in the session. The only way to end is when you end up alone in a room with a chair and your dad and his watch and answer his questions about what you want to do. That's when you're playing the "real" character.

@eccentrix: At one point I knocked the wife out with sleeping pills, put the watch on the table, took away the food and the spoons, left the big light on, closed all the doors and hid in the closet thinking "Oh he'll maybe just take the watch, lets just see". He completely ignores the watch and goes through the same motions as if it wasn't right there and goes into the bedroom anyway. Another time I handed her the picture so she could have it to show him that she couldn't have killed the father. She never gets to try to show him. If it's not on the fridge it's a fail state. Even though there is dialogue to suggest to hand it to her.

I just finished and the twist and endings might be the worst endings I've ever seen in a video game.

@humanity: I had a similar problem with not being able to see stuff.

I spent a time loop to try figure something out - I hid in the closet so I could see if the wife would give up where the watch actually was, and she does. But then I couldn't ask her any more about the watch and when I went to check the medicine cabinet I couldn't see the vent at all on my screen and had to go near enough the very bottom of the "darkness" to see anything.

As some others have said, there's a real clunkiness to it as well. Like clicking on the cop and your character just saying "sir.. sir.. sir" until he one shots you is really dumb.

Also your characters intonation in how he delivers the lines changes so inconsistently between choice to choice that it's very strange and makes it seem like I've skipped parts.

Nope. It cost nearly $300 with taxes and shipping to Europe for the Playdate and the cover. That's way out of the price range I'm willing to pay for what "might" be a "neat" gadget that I use once a month every so often.

This thing being nearly $300 with taxes and shipping put it from very on my radar to very off my radar again.

$200 + shipping I would've been ok. But that close to $300 is like, PS5/XSX money.

@theonewhoplays: There is almost no grind right up until a specific point where there is a difficulty spike so high its almost like they're trying to make up for it.

I honestly wonder what did RGG even get out of having him be in the game. Did they really feel like they needed a big Japanese star for their spin off game to be a success? Did they just want to work with him?

As for recasting him - it'd be odd. Judgement has a much more focused story on Yagami than even Yakuza did on Kiryu.

My gut instinct is to say Final Fantasy XV but it's kind of hard to have great expectations for that series anymore. For me personally, I'm going to say Civ VI. It's not a bad game, but it loses the spark of IV and V in a way that's really disappointing and it turned workers into unnecessary busywork in the process.

EDIT: I wrote this and immediately thought of Boderlands 3, and yup, that's the answer.

Runner-ups:

ME: Andromeda

Infamous Second Sun

Gran Turismo Sport

No Man's Sky (at launch)

Destiny

Street Fighter

I was going to say Doom Eternal until I saw you mentioning Civ Vi and yeah it's Civ Vi. I put hundreds upon hundreds of hours into Civ V and even go back to it now. Civ Vi I played like two games off and said "well this kind of sucks" and have completely forgotten it exists. In fact it's going to be in this months Humble Choice and I couldn't even remember that I bought and played Civ Vi.

Runner up is Doom Eternal. I know that's such a marmite game between people either seem to love or hate it and I'm in the hate it camp. Doom 2016 is an all time top 10 for me and everything leading up to the launch of Eternal made it seem like it was going to be a slam dunk. Everyone in the games press who was hype on Doom 2016 after it launched, felt hyped about what they had seen of Eternal, and then it came out and it just wasn't there.

I might think Doom Eternal is bad, but at least I remember it's existence.

So... $5/mo. which basically just gets you an ad-free podcast. The rest is Twitch streams. And unless I'm mistaken, you'll have to throw Twitch another $5/mo for a channel sub if you don't want to watch those ads.

I'm happy to see anyone breaking out and doing what they want to do, but from a consumer perspective I'm not sure this whole move to Patreon and third party services is very good value.

I'm not sure if the part about another $5 a month to Twitch to avoid ads is correct. I think channels are free to say if they want to have ads on or not. I watch a good amount of Twitch, I don't have any money subscriptions and the only channels I ever see ads on usually esport focused and those ads are baked into the stream anyway.

@sethmode: How is that disingenuous?

If most people in here - and I say most because it's the price I keep seeing quoted - are saying that $35 is a perfectly valid entry point - then it's worth keeping in mind that people value the membership price as roughly $3 and not roughly $4.

The price is $50. That you bought it on sale at one of the few times per year it goes on sale, then that's the price you feel its worth right? So maybe the information that people believe the content to be worth $35 a year - means that the price of $50 should actually be lowered to $35 and the sale period be removed?

Maybe another question - if the $35 sale price was scrapped indefinitely - would the people who buy in at that price be happy to go up another $15 a year to the original RRP or would they bow out.
