Glad the Nightmares don't appear to be in the game, because I disliked how they pulled you into another dimension in the first.
But some of those enemies appear to do the same thing? So ehh...
Predictions:
I barely remember the Nightmares.
The Milkman nightmares are so abrupt and out of step with that world’s pacing that I’m kinda convinced they were added just to give that world more combat. Since much of it is sneaking around, with one major fight right at the end.
But nightmares were done better in the Meat Circus where the threat is a boss stalking the player, and not like in the Milkman Conspiracy where they are formless and (I assume still) whispering dark secrets, and completely removed from the world.
The panic attacks doing the same thing now may make more thematic sense honestly.
Got to focus on restoring order before anything else.
I think is missed the optional one, but I remember the Milkman one. That added to that level because the Milkman's mind is really messed up.
Did you get all the memory vaults or figments of imagination?
It's in Miila's mind.
Yeah. I do not remember that part. I may need to play through the first game again some time.
Sarge's mind was great.
Just kids getting blasted left and right for no reason.
Which I guess bookended nicely with the last level being a confusing, hugely frustrating mess of the battlefield, butcher's shop, and circus.
Anyways, this is totally nitpicking on an otherwise great game. My only other complaint is that I am terrible at platforming, but they give you the option to turn off fall damage with no penalties, which is awesome except that I have to keep listening to the death scream over and over again. With no damage and plenty of forgiving checkpoints, I've been able to keep pushing forward where I would otherwise have thrown my controller through the TV at some point.
I also missed the timer on that one by a couple of seconds, but confirmed by DoubleFine that all the boxes will be open once you finish the story.
Cyberpunk 2077 runs really well on it, so this seems like an Unreal engine issue.
Double Fine: "O ye of little et cetera."
Hahaha, I used to do this to myself all the time with my gaming laptop. Thought I plugged it in, game chugs for a while and I wonder why, then I get a power low notification and realize I flubbed the connection attempt.
I don't know if the gog version does this.
I also have this happen with the cores in Retroarch. Other standalone emulators will run fine with just using the battery.
I actually have a file in the original game, stopped at the top of Thorney Towers.
I almost feel like I’d rather replay the original than finish it from there, since it’s past al the most interesting menta worlds. But I dunno.
TV?
Thoughts about the penultimate level:
Really great voice actor work too. "Where did you get the milk?" in particular is masterclass.
