Lone Survivor: Director's Cut

Post Reply New Topic

I decided to download this title for my vita on a whim. It sounded kind of interesting, so I thought I would check it out. It's interesting so far to say the least. It's not quite what I was expecting, but I think that's a good thing. It's also quite strange, but strange is good. It sure beats overly cliched IMHO. I have no idea where it's going, or how it's going to end, but I prefer it that way. I just discovered the benefits of taking pills before sleeping, and the effects of the green pills are quite beneficial, but I'm assuming there will be consequences of some kind later on. I really don't know what's going to happen, but I think this particular title has really nailed the psychological aspect. I can't recommend this game enough. It's also available on the ps3, and it's a cross buy title. If this is what indie gaming is all about then my new year's resolution will be to play more indie titles.

Play it with headphones. The Vita version is the definitive one

I am. Good to know I have the definitive version. I don't really know much about the game, but I guess it's best to go into this kind of experience blind.

There were moments where I literally didn't want to progress further because of the monsters.
There's one bit in particular you'll probably screw up the first time and possibly jump!

I have the original Steam version and that had 3 endings IIRC. It's impressive that the sidequests didn't take away from the game's atmosphere considering it's a horror game and that's the kind of thing you expect in RPG's and more upbeat adventure games.

Ok. I just finished the game. I'm not really sure what it is I just played. With that said, I actually liked it, a lot. I'm guessing it's open to interpretation. It's certainly a creative title. I'm definitely going to have to look into playing more indie games, because I really like when devs think outside of the box with their games, and LS is about as outside of the box as it gets. To my understanding, it has more than one ending, and the game kept track of a surprising number of stats. My character's mental state was at F+, so I'm guessing that means he was insane. The ending was kind of happy, but he may have imagined it. Talk about a weird game, and this is coming from someone who regularly consumes Japanese media. . At the very least, I can say it's like nothing I've ever played before.

Ok, I got the blue ending the first time around, and it took a couple tries, but I was able to use my existing data to get the red ending, which is almost identical to the blue ending. Now I'm going to go for the green ending. I'm not sure how to unlock the NG+, but I'll see if getting all of the first three endings will do it.
