TNL Game Club Month #2 - Blade Runner

[Yoshi]

I got the same fucking one.

What did Yoshi and I do exactly in the early game which effected this? I can't really imagine many different ways mine could have panned out based on early game decisions.

I think it has to do with not getting close enough to the pink headed chick.

[Yoshi]

Way ahead of you, people who don't participate move down one spot each month. If you're only here to pick a game for us, and not to participate, you can wait and go last. Actually if you never participate you'll just move one spot down endlessly and never get to pick, which I'm fine with.

I'm not sure that's ideal though. There are lots of reasons a person might miss one game. But when it becomes three, it's clear they're not participating. Don't move them down; just kick them out.

Also if you played the game recently, just bring up some things about it, what you like what ending you got in this case, what made you play it last time?

[MechDeus]

We need a new guideline by which if you clearly don't participate in anyone else's games, you don't get to pick one. That should shorten/speed up the list.

I like how this was already discussed when you and some others were crying about last time and refusing to participate, but now that there's a game you played you're suddenly presenting this like it's a new idea.

Also, why are people still discussing Game Club guidelines in a thread about Brade Runner? There's already a thread for that, use it.

Anyway, one of the things I forgot about in Blade Runner was the image enhancement. When I was young and had this game I thought it was hilarious how they could take an image of a few pixels and sharpen it to a ridiculously perfect shot of a license plate. These days that's standard practice in prime time crime shows, and they don't even have made-up science fiction technology to fall back on. Oh you silly writers and your understanding of image data!

You just don't understand it. It works by beeps and bonks.

I was thinking the same thing about the image enhancement. Also how a face can go from shadow to completely lit once I get close enough!

Thankfully still being on XP, this game just ran right off the bat flawlessly. So yay for me.

Not only that, but you can curve around their hair or hood or whatever to see the face, even though it's facing away from the camera.

Don't bother arguing your logic with these people, I tried and failed.

It doesn't matter what actually happens in the movie, they will make you believe that it was exactly the same as the non reflective surface and light changing bullshit that happens in the game.

[Tain]

Just finished, got the ending where you kill Clovis with Crystal.

Very good game, save a scene or two. I'm already fine calling it one of the best adventure games.

[Yoshi]

All the cool kids and Opaque got that ending.
