Should I skip the original?

I turned it on, saw lara ravel's ugly ass face and stopped playing it

Already completed it twice, don't know if I have it in me to do it again.

Maybe don't skip it completely, but you can safely start with 2. If you like it, you can go back and play Daniil's route in the original, since 2 doesn't have all routes from the original yet.

Most agree you should start with 2 and play 1 after if you crave more.

Thanks monkeys.

But user, I just did. Replayed 1 and 2 a couple weeks ago.
No. 2 is way, way better in gameplay, but imo 1 has much better atmosphere, music, art design, and story. 1 has a much more theatrical and surreal approach that I strongly prefer.

1 is so buggy and unpolished, you'd have to be a big fan of the story/series in order to enjoy it.

>not having 12 bullets on you at all times

Its almost been a year since its release and still no sign of the other campaigns. Didn't they say Bachelors campaign was already near completion when the game launched? I hope we at least get it this year.

In a time when remakes are jerked off to high heaven in spite of rarely deserving the praise or fucking up certain aspects of the original game, Pathologic 2 pretty much is one of the best remakes ever made and nobody played it. What the hell.

Yas Forums doesn't like good games

They also said it would be a different genre

wew

That just means the game is working as intended.

listened to the soundtrack for weeks after finishing my second playthrough. don't care if you call me a shill but it's a fantastic game and more people should play it. it's really an experience. can't think of another game with such an atmoshpere, the despair and stress.

Makes me sad that most people miss this entire questline

The entire section in the abbatoir is insane, even though fighting the worms can get a bit tedious.

I don't know why people complain about the gameplay being stressful. Yes, it puts pressure on you, but that means that you nearly start jizzing if you manage to find something like a shmowder (or some resource to upgrade your inventory space) on your own.

I don't play westacuck games.

When the game first launched maybe, but Mandalore's Pathologic review almost has a million views at this point. And in that video hes over the fucking moon about how much he loves the game. Hbomber also did a video on the original game that has over a million. Its obviously still a niche game but a lot of people are clearly interested in it.

Mandalore didn't talk about the gameplay enough imo.

If you go diurnal (which you should if you're not a dirty steppe gamer shit fuck) she gets adopted by the Saburovs. Unless you're not a pro gamer like me and let them die or something, then I dunno.

Knowing normalfags they'll be too intimidated to play the hard game and go watch some fag on youtube play it instead.

Goddamit I want to play Anomaly but I also want to play pathologic 2.

It went straight into my top 10 and I promptly bought the art book & soundtrack just to support IPL. I still have to finish the marble nest though.

In Pathologic 1, should I be conservative about trading/drinking/bottling water? The trash has a lot of bottles, the alcoholics want my water and I have many to offer them. I know in Patho 2, you could drain water barrels but it took a lot of sucks from the tap to do it. The only economy for these drunks is water, so I am not sure how much to value the water.

In Pathologic 1 it's not as bad and you can probably get away with trading water from time to time. In Pathologic 2 trading water is a trap to fuck with veterans of 1, you should hoard all water and never spend it unless absolutely necessary.

>promptly bought the art book & soundtrack just to support IPL
Shit, I need to do that. From the snippets I've seen of the art book I think I'd want it anyway, even though I'm usually not one to buy that shit.

I always dread starting up the game because of the stressful situations it puts you in but once I launch it I cannot stop for several hours. One of the most engaging games I've ever played.

haha, a trap.
It's really interesting to go back and play Patho 1 as Bachelor after having finished Patho 2. Very different experiences.

P1 was never fun to play for me, it was outdated and designed with tedium in mind when it comes to gameplay. I mean, the gameplay loop could be enjoyable and it was a survival game at its heart, but not giving the player a sprint or more auxillary mechanics fucked the game up.

This is why P2 is incredible, it plays amazingly well and fixes the above problems. Introduces randomness through plague checks on each day, gives you more option to positively/negatively influence reputation, completely reworks healing mechanics, completely reworks surgery, intertwines systems like lockpicking or surgery with allowing the player to spend lockpicks/scalpels as weapons, introduces crafting that makes sense, does the whole tincture system with brewing herbs or using organs, gives you optional methods of acquiring cash like trading organs, introduces the doctor's fund system, shakes things up with money being replaced with meal tickets, children's cashes are entirely new as far as I remember, and much more.

It's a fucking really well thought out video g a m e, not a walking sim. And it sold like shit.

I agree that the iteration in Patho 2 is incredible, but you seem really harsh about Patho 1. I'm early on but over all it is the same game (bounce like a pinball between locations on the map and watch meters intensely).

Should I play Marble Nest before or after starting a new run? How long is it?

it's like maybe two hours? play it now

What are the codes for the backer rewards again?

Yeah, but lack of running and the necessity to await the letters is meh. P1 legit gave me headaches, no other game managed to do it. I think people should give it a fair shot and not skip it, but I don't think it's well designed when it comes to the gameplay fundamentals.

also, what *IS* the so called marble nest? and what do the "birdies" do who gather 'round it?

I recall reading somewhere that marble nest was based on a dream Dybowski had?

sometimes my Bachelor wheezes and the screen grows a little dark, but I'm not sure why. Is he hungry? tired? imperceptibly losing health and/or gaining infection? I can't understand.

Attached: Game_VSt90Ungok.png (505x480, 191.69K)

Youn got infected.

Where do I find Oglimsky's son in the first game? I'm retarded and must have missed the hints in dialogue.

probably the bachelor being a weak bitch like always, oynon

yeah, but does the wheezing mean something is changing? getting worse.

So how long before we will start using coupons or trade stuff with little girls? We are already in Day 2 of the plague

Dunno, I always either reload a save or cure myself with shmowder.
