Ren'Py Abandoned Heavy Five [Ch.2RS] [Nottravis]

[Dripping]

Witcher 1 and ME1 are fairly meh graphics wise and can be skipped. Plus neither were really settled gameplay wise. I'd skip both of these tbh less they put you off the sequels.

ME2 is short(ish) and is excellent. W2 is good but again is a tad lacking graphics wise.

W3 is sheer brilliance and we might not ever see you again.

I'd suggest start with ME2 then ME3 then W3

*Strongly disagrees and believes both Part 1s to be the superior games of their respective series.
But then, I grew up playing games like of River Raid, Choplifter and Aztec Challenge, so can very much handle crude graphics.
ME1s overheat weapon mechanics were definitely the best, as were all the details to be found all over the place.

Is that your offer to clean my fluids up and cuddle afterwards?

Oh I'm not saying it wasn't good. Just...it hasn't dated well.

I played the hell out of ME1 when it came out. Picked it up again a year or so ago again to replay the trilogy as prep for this....and time hadn't been kind to it. If I'd never played it before and ME1 now was my first look at the game universe I don't know if I would play it for very long - and there is a risk that Not Thea might do the same and thus never enjoy the sweet victory of having Tali die in a pipe somewhere.*

*THIS is totes cannon and the only real ending for her!

 

[somebodynobody]

I feel Ava will hire Notty on as a maid in costume to clean her fluid control problem, but Ava will be lost because of how much she gushes and squirts fluid while still being so thirsty. Such a tragedy.

 

[Akamari]

So, she beat Annie and lost to Sarah?

Of Intrepid most likely, not Vanguard.

Ah but his main weapon wouldn't be a sidearm tho when he was infantry.

Give the two of them the fleets equivalent of an assault rifle and I suspect we'd get a different result. But for now, we're stuck with a sidearm...

I presume we have some on Ophion/Vanguard?

Has saying that ever worked for anybody on anything? *is curious*

I'm starting to doubt it even means anything in English...

Terrible suggestion. Graphics over story, am I reading it right?

My experiences with both series would have been far, far inferior if I skipped half the story. Would you recommend anyone starting Heavy Five in Chapter 3 or Chapter 6?

*bats eyelashes*

oh, get a room, you two.. you are making my coffee nervous

 

[I'm Not Thea Lundgren!]

I'll miss him. Well at least H5 will be finished for when he returns I suppose.

Aww, fanks!
So a small update, on the whole, I'm starting with the first one; after crashing 4 or 5 times, I finally got it stable and started to play, then the doorbell went (I know right, how rude!), so I have to go and help out with something So the saga shall continue later!

 

[Akamari]

Thank you, I also have to at least play Witcher before I watch the TV show coming later this year.

Kick in the balls - is what show will be.

Of course I am!

Trish is lovely (Plus bewbs). Whereas Yen is just a flat chested nag!

Yen: "Geralt!!!! Stop what you're doing and go risk your life for me to do something. NOW! And smarten yourself up too!"

Horrid woman.

I wish I never got to read this...

Yennefer is one of my most beloved characters in fiction. I fell in love with her long before the games came out, I pretty much grew up on the books the games are based on (VERY recommended; among the best I've ever read; the games' story is very faithful and acts as a sequel; there are many many references). Yen has very complex personality, that can be off-putting on the surface (I'll grant that), but there is a lot to her beneath.

I love Triss too, but for me the one and only Geralt's love is and always will be Yen. Their relationship is a full on rollercoaster, but also something that is transcending on many different levels...Two souls aligned for the lack of better words...

 

[TheDevian]

May I remind you hunni pie that all this started as your milkshake was bringing all the boys to the yard that was followed by the hefting of your bewbs.

I absolutely adore you but I do believe you are telling a fib when you claim innocence.

It seem it was not just the boys who came to that yard...

You skipped the only true answer. Ciri.

There is a trainer game for that...

Of Intrepid most likely, not Vanguard.

Perhaps, but that is not as funny...

 

[Akamari]

You skipped the only true answer. Ciri.

Nope... I can't ever see Ciri as anything else than a daughter to Geralt...

Plus it has Shani.

I romanced her and then she vanished and only appeared in DLC for W3.

Such a missed opportunity. Shani would have been an awesome LI.

I could never take Shani seriously. She was always more of a fling in the books. A friend with benefits if you will...

 

[somebodynobody]

Nope... I can't ever see Ciri as anything else than a daughter to Geralt...

I never said sexual, just that Ciri was best girl, and Notty likes Triss but hates Yen.

 

[Dripping]

Dang, finished my second beer, time to go sleep. Please, behave everybody! And if you don't, I'll forgive you if you post the pictures in this thread. (BTW, it's totally acceptable to drink alcohol before 10AM for me, since I'm on night shifts this week )

 

[Goblin Baily: DILF]

THEORY 1: There was a pin-up series not long ago with the school girl costume, so it would seem reasonable to assume people would be more likely after something else. Hence, why Becca got pigtails to bring something new and offset it, but Notty still didn't expect that option to win (or did, but it wasn't planned).

THEORY 2: Pin-up series was never finished, only pictures an impartial observer could describe as "teasing" were posted. Clearly, it was a plan all along to deny the good patrons back then, so that they would jump after the option in the poll. Pigtails were added to reinforce the scheme.

As a firm believer in our innocent delicate flower, I'm inclined towards the first option, of course.

Surely you're not suggesting there's any meaning in those teeny-weeny mottos that would be so hard to see....

That would be a bonkers level of detail, no?

Trust no one...

*flutters eyelashes*

Peeps had a choice, no?

*randomly cackles off into the night*

Look at her eyelashes, boys! That's the prime weapon of the creature known as "innocent female human". She's using it to lure males of her species into believing her innocent before she goes for the kill. Her secondary weapon is called "the illusion of choice". This is a psychological attack she uses to rob her preys of their free will. But the worst is they do it willingly...

Yes, and I give peeps choice here as well, don't I?

*can be innocent too*

Unless it's like a magician offering you a "choice" - they call a choice where the magician makes you pick the card they want you to pick a "force" for a reason. Although, how you did that with a poll...

Let's not forget her extraordinary poofing ability. That makes her impossible to track and there aren't any poofproof means of protection.

Exactly. How could I have?

I'd have to be some mistress of manipulation, no? But I'm just a simple gal.

*flutters eyelashes innocently*

And, perchance, if I were then I fear for you all on Ophion once my characters get hold of you....

Good job I'm a just a simple gal really.

The Norms have no hold of me

Guys?

Are you sure you wouldn't prefer a game where you have to repeat the same actions 14 times in series to progress up the stairway to heaven, whilst having to progress with every character to unlock the one you want?

Be a bit easier than this lunacy, no?


*poofs!*

I don't know.... I had to talk with Annie multiple times to get a hug, not that I'm complaining but if I have to stand in the hall with a dried fish and a can of beans just to unlock a short conversation with Chris that will give me a clue about Sarah, a clue I will need to prove Annie that I'm wearing a tinfoil hat. Then I am out

Well, I'm still holding that fish...

You didn't spot the fish was a red herring....oh.

Chapter 7 takes place on Tuesday?

I'm sure that will mean something ominous after Chapter 5.

I'm sure there is nothing to see here and that Notty just sent us to a wild goose chase! Beware your false prophet and her cohort of lies!

Look at all those confused mortals... that's what happens when you make a WT

Ah you should really try the benefits of lingerie y'know. Oh wait...you don't need to, do you? My mistake.

*flutters eyelashes ever so sweetly back*

In the Whales I don't think they discovered lingerie...

Has saying that ever worked for anybody on anything? *is curious*

My friend got a picture... sure it was about a clogged toilet...

 

[Huitieme]

Finally caught up. What do humans have to sleep?

Different images as someone has said. But...

For Chris and MC
View attachment 364753


So yep, the MC has every right to be pleased - especially given the range and the weapon. But Chris...she -really- is a very good shot which the image underlines if the player hadn't picked it up on her bio.

Well... I'm sorry to insist, but that's not the image that appears when MC takes the lead. Since I know you wouldn't let pass such a mistake, maybe there's something to fix around here... By rummaging through the files, I've noticed that this specific picture is c3rescue3a and that it's never called in any of the scripts.

If I were her commanding officer, I'd congratulate her on her shooting technique, then berate her about tunnel vision! Her shots landed closer to Walker than to her intended target. (She was shooting at the LGM, or rather at the ground close to a LGM, I hope?)

I'll forgive you if you post the pictures in this thread.

Mighty good of you...

While I concur the books are phenomenal, and I love them dearly, I must say Yen is not much than a glorified tsundere. I mean, sure, she's complex, she's got a cold and often abrupt demeanour at first, then you peel layer after layer and she gets warmer and almost nicer, but that's just tsundere 101. To me, it's really with the appearance of Ciri that she starts to transition from insufferable bitch to mamma bear and thus gets interesting. That being said, Yen is for Geralt and Geralt is for Yen. Period.

Triss has been changed a lot in the game to appeal to a wider audience, such as making her a redhead when she was not, thus trapping fools like me into preferring her for base reasons such as immoderate love for redheads... The flesh is weak

That being said, I do not expect the Netflix adaptation to be anywhere near as good as the last turd I dropped after a night of raclette and wine. The key is to lower your expectations, so it might be passable in the end. Although that didn't work with the Gunnm movie that I refuse to call Alita, for fuck sake!

Spoiler: For French people, I've made a short montage of what I think of Battle Angel Mes Couilles

Yeah, right.....

So innocent.

You were joking yes?

Would I ever be serious? Think we already established that if Notty is Innocent, that it is likely one of her names given at birth. Then again would we really be happy if the writer for H5 would be a true innocent? I can't speak for anyone else, but a game where all the people were pure as snow, had never experienced anything in life and would be all virgins would not be highly interesting story.

Shit, nobody tell her I said that. I'm probably already in trouble for the song thing *runs and hides*

Well I have a very big silver mirror that has seen some use last few days you can loan if you need it. Love that song though.

Has saying that ever worked for anybody on anything? *is curious*

For some people hope springs eternal.

Anyway Notty, I bought two games based on your recommendations and/or comments (Witcher (I've got the other two as well) and Mass Effect), which one should I start playing while I'm waiting for CH4?

For me I would begin with ME1 since that one is most like a RPG still, though loved 2 and 3 they were a bit much shooter for me.

To be honest though I would be even more likely to fire up Baldurs Gate II again. Admittedly I am bit biased cause played it the day it came out so am used to the graphics, but neither ME, DA Origins, Kotor series (though I loved part 2 a lot, despite all it shortcomings, whispers Lost content restore mod) come even close to the splendor of that game or Jaheira and Viconia. That game together with Might & Magic 6 reinvented the role playing genre when they came out and BG II really comes close to having it all. If people can handle outdated graphics and some bugs Arcanum is also a really great game that has been forgotten in the mist of time.

As an aside somehow I end always up as Chaotic Good in those game or their equivalents, whatever route I decide to play in advance.

First you have to get it REALLY cold...

Does that not defeat the purpose of what you plan?

*is adorable!*
*preens!*

I was only dancing tho. Perfectly innocently.
*sage nods*

That depends completely upon the nature of that dance you were doing adorable one

See above, but I think the first ever serious RPG I played was the original Bards Tale when auto mapping was not even in games yet, so I guess yeah for me story will always beat graphics, Then again I recently replayed Diablo I and Dungeon Keeper, so I might not be the best measuring stick.

Yeah unfortunately Douglas Adams is no longer with us, but everyone can still enjoy his works at least.

Well, the "tsundere" part as you call is just a shell. A defense mechanism, if you will, that has much to do with her childhood, her being born a hunchback, mistreated by her own parents, and being shunned by everyone else. That's not who she really is. (I'm not awfully familiar with that tsundere term though, maybe I just misinterpret it wrong, but I wouldn't use the label).
