Why did I watch this?! Lol, got the game after seeing your rumination and played literally 16 hours straight... O__O Hope you stream it again (I think you can beat it!!!)!
this is a fantastic game, very sad, very real. but a great game, in the end it made me happy to get things going for the better for the dudes you meet. also sending a fellow to collect snow for 48h is something special ^^
Haha, the music was oddly cheerful during the cat story. That aside, I have to respect the choices the game forces you to make. I think it can be quite easy for some to play "evil" or amoral characters in games with those options due to how clearly separated from reality and/or over-the-top such choices tend to be. But something like this seems like it could make even the more emotionally divested (in the game) gamers stop and consider.
The first time I encountered the soldier in the supermarket, I did not help her. Even the second and third time I did, I did not help her. In those first three playthroughs, I was focused on surviving and I wasn't interesting in the combat mechanics. The fourth run I did, I had Roman early on and I had gotten lucky in getting a gun (a pistol) with just 2 bullets, but it had been a while so I had mostly forgotten about this encounter... until I got to the supermarket and I saw the soldier. I threw open the door and shot the soldier, remembered how I hadn't helped this woman in previous runs, and felt elated at having finally set something right in the world. And then I thought about how I had just killed someone, and that really dampened the rest of my run all the way through to my surviving the whole war. I love This War of Mine for being such a good game in a game way and in a philosophically-challenging way.
Hey Lorerunner have you heard of a gsme called Golden Sun? its a two part GBA turned based RPG. I feel like you would totalky appreciate the games amazing storyline
I wish I could play this game. The only thing keeping me from it is the lack of a tactical pause option. I get so stressed out by the constant time flow and limited space of action that I end up not getting anywhere.
27:58 Thank you for the deep dive into this moment in the game!

Great stuff!
Uh oh! Here we go! He's talkin about sadness the game!

I guess you would call it a cheat, but you can edit things like the length of the day and night. If that's what keeps you from playing at all.
ifly fsx Maybe that will fix it for me. I'd still prefer an actual BioWare-style pause option (in which you can assign tasks), but thanks! :)
That survival "rule" would not be in Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek. In fact, it contradicts the Prime Directive.
The Prime directive in Star Trek is a prime example of how our culture never thinks, just overreacts, and runs to the other extreme.
Arch, we don't want the whole gambit. We want what we know from a different, from your perspective. Others will give it if you won't. Its okay.
Damn, this game sounds depressing as hell. If this game didn't depress you GTA 4 should be easy.
Awesome game. I cleared every scenario.
Lol you get shot too much. Its like you like it.
