    i have to say again this is the god damn game of the god damn year

    you know that dream

    that one

    about being an overweight cat fighting a hippo on top of some abandoned CD stores

    this is that dream

    but god dang does it get tough later on, gotta pay real close attention to where food is plentiful on the map or you'll be proper fucked

    also my cat wears a headlamp

  • DracilDracil Registered User regular
    How does one figure out where food will be plentiful from the map? Is that the food bar thing? Does it also show what areas are poisoned? Also, since the number of years tracked at the top is total years, is there a way to know how many years your *current* generation has left to live?

    Yeah, it's those bars.

    I don't believe it shows poisoned but I think there's a way to look at past announcements to see what's been announced; if not that it should show as an event.

    I haven't figured out how to see how old my current Pomeranian is either I just judge by when I get that "Stats reduced because of age" thing means time to mount up.

    Also, Superior females may not appear unless you've already reached Boss level before you pee four times. I've never seen one show up unless I was.

    So, protip: Pee like a Boss? Huh.

    I stole roguelike from NeoGAF. Anyways:

    -Same Map
    +Random Questlist
    +Random Spawns
    +Random Location Conditions
    +Permadeath
    +Easy quick death
    +Constant scramble to not die
    +Freedom to roam around and do whatever
    +Feature that makes you go "oh let's see what this [random thing] is OH GOD I'M DEAD" or "Oh please let this [random thing] be an [x] and not [y] OH GOD IT'S DOZENS OF [z] WHAT THE FUCK"
    +Capable of making people say "hahaha I'm invincible nothing can touch me I'll never die OH I'M DEAD"

    Yeah I think I'd say it's a roguelike.

    Age is shown when you pause, it's in the bottom left corner. I've been too afraid to get too old though, so what happens if you hit 16? Do you just die and explode into a pile of bones instantly or something?

    Ugh. Want this game.

    Is there any way to get a small amount of money into your PSN wallet? I don't want to buy a $20 card. I keep winding up with just a bit left over.

    Pretty sure you can just use your card to add a $5 amount or thereabouts.

    I for one have relegated myself to buying PSN cards specifically due to the PSN fiasco.

    Housemate bought the game last night, had a surprisingly good first run (he got to like generation 4)... until he ran into a tiger. At night. No matter how bad-ass you are, you don't fuck with a tiger.

    We then did a pom+cat run, which was awesome fun and awesome hard. You think keeping fed gets tricky with 1 player, try 2. No, they don't double the food amount, that'd just be silly. I think 3 of my 4 brothers starved to death as we made our way through The Zone Where Nothing Lived to one that had food. Of course, it was covered in miasma. Then we aggro'd an entire zoo worth of animals and died.
    Darn thing is, we took down an elephant. And it went rotten the moment it hit the floor. :(

    Wait, you can pee in this game? WTF? Where?

    Some advice from what I've managed so far:
    * Don't let your boss get too old. You lose about 15% of your overall stats and this will transfer over to your offspring. In my opinion, don't go past 10-12 years without claiming a whole territory and mating.
    * Prime females can be determined if they're sparkling. If you don't see those sparkles, she's just an average mate. Leave her on the corner.
    * Desperate, Average and Primes also dictate how many offspring you'll have on the next generation. I got stuck with a Desperate (who also gave me fleas, the bitch) and she sired one offspring. Every time I mate with a Prime, I usually end up with 4-5 brothers.
    * Pollution miasma drops 10 every time you eat/drink from clean sources. You can tell when meat/plants go bad because it'll suddenly turn purple and have a little cloud around it.

    Fuck the chick's challenges. First set of challenges is to mark 4 territories (easy), go to Shibuya market (easy) and eat a mushroom (hard because fuck you, food is random). Also, you're very likely to be one-shot by pretty much anything aggressive.

    The marking thing is peeing. They just didn't animate it but that's how animals control territories; piss and battle. It's like your own secret peeing.

    Played the hell out of this last night. SAME SCREEN COUCH CO-OP IN MY ROGUELIKE?!?!? Thank you baby Jesus.

    I got to gen 5 on my Pomeranian but I didn't understand Challenges yet so my stat increase is pretty invisible still but I did unlock the Cat. Switched to the Seki(?) Deer and lasted all of 1 gen before I ran into some dickwolves that buttfucked my venison all over.

    Tried the Cat and he's pretty tough to keep full; he starts with a REALLY low hunger rating. Switched back to Deer and had an EPIC HERBIVORE RUN where I made it to Gen 3 and unlocked the Gazelle and Chick. Tried the Chick once and died to a Beagle almost instantly.

    Since my game boner refused to go down I ran and bought the DLC and tried the Fat Cat who seemed very meh and didn't last long. But it's nice to see that these alternate color/size animals actually have different stats and challenges. Pretty sure I'm gonna be getting every god dang bit of DLC that comes down the pipe for this.

    If you mark out territory, then sleep as a baby chick, you'll be an adult chicken, which isn't really great, but isn't _as_ shitty as baby chick.

    I saw the GB quicklook on this and hnnnnngh I don't think I can put it off. As a Plus user it's only 12 bucks, and it looks fun as hell.

    Is it only the one map though? I worry if it'll get repetitive with all those animals, unless it's way larger than what they showed.

    And why is PETA not having a shitfest on this game's existence?

    If you go to a nest in territory you've marked without a mate, you have the option to sleep or save instead of mate or save. IIRC

    Actually, I think you can't get a mate as a baby chicken, so you'll have to sleep to become adult chicken? Probably?

    It is just one map that never changes but it has a lot of areas as well as secret areas and the content is randomized even while you're playing.

    It changes the time of day, changes what mates are active on the field (so if you only see desperates, you might sleep and see if you get better luck next half-day), and changes the food supply (so if you've got a nightmare of no food on nearby streets, it could be a good idea to nap).

    Sleep only shows up as an option if you're a baby chick. It transforms you into an adult chicken (which has much better stats than a baby chick) & makes it so that love interests will start appearing if you control that territory (obviously, you can't mate as a baby chick).

    EDIT: Guess I was wrong and you can sleep as anyone. It's most important for baby chicks though.

    I guess I played more Tokyo Jungle than I'd realized. I know weird nuances and shit.

    On my JPN copy, I had a hat that was just a headband with a huge steel spike on it, which gave a rad attack power bonus. I wish I had any idea where I got it from.

    That's the antenna, I got that last night. Pretty sure it just popped from a random treasure box but I could be wrong.

    It's pretty awesome on a Seki Deer; those things can actually kick some serious ass.

    Oh good, it's randomized.

    It's strange, as soon as the Quicklook was over I just had this sudden need to add this game as soon as possible. I wonder if I'm just attracted by the weirdness of it all, but it looks like it has everything I want for a quick pick up and play game.

    So fuck it, it's downloading as we speak.

    So the DLC costumes are nice. They have infinite durability (0/0) and still give you stat ups. I like the one that increases my hunger by 5 points. And they're free.

    Was having a good run as a Sika Deer until I got a bit greedy (there were 4 plants right over there and one of my challenges was "eat fruit") and got eaten by a pack of fucking panthers.
