Played it until the hanged man and quit immediately
Sorry, cannot understand the overall hype and positive reviews.

This should be a ...RPG, right?

How come i am a filthy drunk corrupt cop that in one moment dodges away from paying the expenses and drinks nearly running over a poor lady in a wheelchair while doing so,and in the next moment a little ugly child is cursing and insulting me and i cannot even tell it to ♥♥♥♥ off or intimidate it or just slap him in his face, like a drunk, corrupt and filthy cop would do?

The game isnt even providing me some funny and/or rude answers to his insults or a way to tell him to shut up. Especially as that little brat's attitude towards you is not in any way important to the game's progress itself.

It forces you to politely deal with that son of a ♥♥♥♥♥ like if you were some UN diplomat or special needs children's daycare nurse.

Sry, no way this is a real RPG where you can "Become a hero or an absolute disaster of a human being." You can't even tell a little troll who is just hindering your investigation and throwing stones on a corpse to ♥♥♥♥ off.

Uninstalled it without hesitation.

The lady is not poor, most would say she is not real actually. And the kid is not an exception, most people can not be told to fudge off, or hurt or threatened in some way. Which is a sad conclusion from a role playing standpoint, so i do agree with what you said. But if you want to enjoy this game for its story and atmosphere then you need to let go of your expectations i'm afraid. There is a reason why so many like this game, you'll see if you play past that point.

I mean, you totally can punch that kid in the face and tell him to ♥♥♥♥ off. You're not obligated to pick the polite options just because they're there.
A developer of this app has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

Perfect example of shallow troll. Even IGN knows you can do something edgy like punching a kid in the face.
If you are too stupid to make strong or smart character who can humilate and abuse others than deleting the game was a good decision.

Cuno is interesting, theres a dialogue route where you can actually confound him and your partner.
unfortunately you dont seem to get any bonus or other options after doing this. it just flavor .. which was a bit disappointing.

im guessing with the right amount of empathy, drama, and/or physical instrument and other skills your options with dealing with are probably a bit more robust.

but there are other issues i find more annoying than cuno... but making a game like this is quite difficult and covering all the bases is near impossible.

give the game some leeway and you will find some pretty good moments where your skills actually pay off.

while im still early in game, it seems regardless no matter how you play, that your still playing a broken shell of a man. and this will always be a liability to you in one form or another.

You can actually get him to join the police force at the end.

The amount of people questioning the rpg status of this game...
bjarnitryggva Nov 1, 2019 @ 6:21pm 
I shot the Cunoessa with Kim's gun just to see what would happen when I learned she'd murdered a child....

Game definetly is an RPG.

Wow what a dumb troll thread...

Imagine not being able to select dialogue options correctly and getting mad about it.

So you played the game for about an hour, with a build that clearly doesn't lend itself to the kind of abusive a-hole you want your character to be, and complain that it isn't an rpg? Maybe pick skills that reflect the type of behavior you're after and play for longer than an hour before writing off npcs as inconsequential.

Not only can you punch the kid, eventually you get the option to shoot the girl peering over the fence.

Lol, sounds like Cunno did a reeeeeally good job of getting under your skin. If you had taken the time to progress and see the options that would eventually be offered to you then you would have been rewarded. Patience is THE main requisite for playing an RPG and it's incredibly clear that RPG's are not for you.

Sry, no way this is a real RPG (...)

Please, enlight my existence, offer me a name,
of a rpg videogame,
that is your alpha and omega .

Or stay and enjoy your troll way of life .
I hope You discover, one day, the difficulty to think and generate a project like that .
