Better?

...

Very excited, you see.

Right, sorry for the doublepost, but it's been a month. First thing: Kickstarter got funded and is still going up. Next thing: They're doing an AMA on Reddit right this second. Go ahead and pop right in if you have a reddit account. Early bird gets the plague!

Pathologic 2 is finally out!

Filtering The Filth that is steam forum gived me that:
1. Game is unoptimized like hell.
2. Some people can seriosly complain about having 60 fps.
3. Hunger is completely broken to the side of "Humans can't eat that much".
4. Whole point of this narrative-based game is to miss the narrative, all of it. At least crazed broken mechanics apologists think so. I didn't see devs saying this yet.
5. For some reason devs think that replacing DS2-like checkpoint saves (complete with max health loss on death, looks like) with proper ones will break their game apart. Well, it certainly would break DS2 apart, but i don't see what's wrong with it in Pathologic of all places.

Optimization is very bad. Particle effects can freeze the game. Hunger is about the same as the original game but a little more forgiving IMO, smoked meat seems to recover WAY more hunger.

The checkpoint system and point save system is fucking awful as the game is glitchy and gives the impression it could crash or freeze at any time.

I decided to play again now that I heard the patches are out. The particle effect freezing seems to be gone, and the crashes have been cut in half. Generally the game seems to be playable. Still unacceptably crashy, though.
