I really love the character design for the Porter. The care into the fact he as permanent damage and bruising around his shoulders from his job. is just a detail that really stuck out to me. He’s also using a proper aluminium frame for carrying those kinds of loads. I really feel the amount of time and possibly hiking the designers did to really capture the state and equipment of someone who is permanently walking and hiking with loads on their backs.

[@periapsis413]

Say what you will about this game's story and gameplay, everything about it visually is brilliantly executed. The design of the equipment and techology, the face tech, the design of the BTs and all the ghost shit, the cyberpunk-neon UI, all of it is fuckin super cool.

*throws mom into incinerator* SMOKIN' SEXY STYLE!

[@ShelCorporation]

Matheus Henrique da Silva SADISTIC!

[@Jojje94]

From what I can figure out, the voidout thing is connected to chirality. Chirality is about asymmetry, how your left hand is a mirror image of your right but cannot be superimposed upon one another. Far as I can tell when someone dies they become a BT. Should a BT come into contact with a live human, they cancel each other out and trigger a voidout.

[@MagickGOATee]

So Chirality is basically mirror paradox principles 101, dead and living in contact, much like past and future on some atom splitting shit. Kojima really likes that funky pseudoscience doesn't he

Waiting for Woolie to go "This is totally an Action Adventure RPG."

[@arempy5836]

Honestly, I don't see how indivisible is not an RPG. Video games lost the plot on what RPG meant long ago. Having or not having items or equipment is so meaningless to the actual, orignal definition of Role-Playing Game.

[@zayindarkmore1616]

It’s a game with action and adventure where you role play as Sam.

[@gaminggoddess85]

Technically all video games are "role-playing'' games.

[@philipcurry313]

This is clearly a visual novel.

[@iller3]

The real problem is that we stopped using the genre handle "Adventure Game" when the SNES came out. ...IE: thats what people are ACTUALLY playing when they **think** they're in an _RPG_ that has them going to find some hidden key in a log or doing certain dialogues to get different branching paths and then managing a ton of inventory that also ALL came from the Environment itself. A real Role playing experience is you having a unique purpose of sorts, "Crafting" your OWN solution to the most common problems your archetype must struggle with most frequently. And then Socializing with other people AS that predetermined role. The whole point is that you're NOT an adventurer with every answer fated to exist in your heavily funneled path. Instead your'e a limited options trope embracing the cognitive dissonance for a fleeting amount of time and that allows you to think about the world very differently than you would have otherwise allowed yourself to

I know I may be reaching but when Sam meets Momma the first time she calls him The Legend and right after she says "You did keep us waiting." Possible Metal Gear reference?

When Deadman says "Game over, man." the words "Game Over" appear on the wall in the MGS font.

The only way the names could possibly be more evocative would be if they were from My Little Pony or something XD.

[@wearecoterminous]

@@LuminousLead subtlety is for COWARDS!

[@BattleSpew]

Too bad it's spelled Amelie.

[@ninboy01]

Spood Beest Amélie means “work” and is derived from the Germanic name Amalia, itself derived from the Hebrew “amal” meaning to work or toil. The origin of Amelie’s name given in game is related to the French word amé, which means “soul.” Which ties into her characters role in the plot.

[@dusanmeseldzija3882]

It being a Kojima game, and/or the atmosphere/setting/story/voice acting/any other aspect of the game that isn't the fiddly carrying/crafting + freedom to build whatever you want, probably has a bigger influence on his decision to like/love or not like/love the game over others with the same gimmicks. It is probably the same reason why this game has such widely different reviews - some love it, others hate it, some are just meh/OK with it, but 99% of people will probably play this game once and never come back to it again.
