man i forgotten how much fun these scenes in ladykiller in a bind were
one thing i really like about this game is how transparent managing the various currencies and character relationships is. between dialogue lines straight up letting you know the result of your actions and being able to rewind your choices it really lets you game it in the direction you want and i think this actually kind of works really well cos you get to experiment a little bit and poke at the answers and see which one you like and serves your purposes best, which is kind of really on topic for the game. it like lets you have fun with the story instead of blindly having to figure it out and that just makes it really fun to be the most vicious asshole possible only to then letting yourself be reduced to a pathetic pain addicted thirsty blob
i started over cos i hadn't gotten too far last time (i think only day 3?), but already kicking myself for dropping it back then. also had forgotten how good the music can be. it gets a little mall elevator at times but during the 'night' scenes, specially with beauty, i just adore that sinister piano of sexiness...
Thanks posting about this game. I wanted to check it out last holiday sale a few weeks back but the reviews sort of said what you are saying. The sad thing is most really wanted to like it.
yea i'm pretty bummed, i knew it wasn't a good game but i was hoping accessing the fun content (basically goofing around with akko and the gang) would be easier, but everything i've done so far has demanded a fair amount of tedium with little to indicate it'll get much better.
like an early main quest in the game was like hey let's repair the clock that makes time go groundhog day, so let's go find sucy. you look for her (and wait if she's not accesible at this point in time), talk to her, she wants a special mushroom, so you go to the cafeteria to find someone with the shroom. she says she'll give me a spare she has if she manages to finish her meal, which is giving her trouble cos it's too bitter or something. so you go look for jasminka so she teaches you culinary magic to make her food less bitter. but now it turns out you need to buy a potion to use magic cos akko is a dumb dumb so you run to the store to get one, and these guys tell you you need magic gems, so you clear a dungeon once, come back and buy the potion. you then give this to the mushroom girl, she gives you the shroom, you take it to sucy and that just opens up a new quest cos it turns out she didn't know how to fix it after all. and i got this quest after finishing another likewise unsuccessful quest from amanda
and since you have a quest marker for everything it's not like you have to do much thinking besides mapping out your path to the next marker
what sucks is that i kind of chuckled at the end of the quest cos sucy is awesome and her lines are pretty funny but it sucks to have to go through half an hour of simply running around from place to place
i'll play it a little bit more but i'm likely to drop it fairly early, there's little about it that really merits playing it
