This is actually rather clever that they did something like this and rewards you for having the right gun at the right time and taking out the boss early (or at least changing the aspect of the fight against his suit instead of him).

[@marcosdheleno]

but you arent really rewarded, you still have to fight the boss anyway.

There's also a vice versa that happens. In the purple jungle planet there's an office moplet that you're unable to convince that u are the new boss, however sweezy's attitude convinces them you are the new boss, if you have sweezy. The moplets will do whatever you tell them to do, which includes some demented instructions if you want

[@angelob2383]

@@marcosdheleno you are rewarded because this starts a string of evidence on a hidden character. Gus will keep picking up clues about this characters location and you get another game ending

[@tomk6292]

After Doing the first bounty in the slums, you can choose Krubis or Douglas as your second bounty. If you do Krubis’s first, you unlock Gus who is able to catch out Douglas and make the boss fight easier. If you do Douglas first, the time changing gun allows you to be the boss instead of the hire for the paperwork mission

[@PooBrainBatman]

yeah and only one is an achievement, doing it the other way locks you out of it.

The Douglas faking a family and the way it’s figured out is actually a Total Recall reference, where Arnold realizes a cabby is lying to him when he talks about his six kids repeatedly, then talks about his TWO kids later on, and Arnold calls it.

[@sorrenblitz805]

Huh didn't put it together but that's kinda neat. Arnold in that movie is named Douglas Quaid too.

[@liamhollands344]

I'm glad that this game is genuinely deeper than the talking gun gimmick. The guns themselves have a couple of different ways they can be used to create combos and the like, even the enemies' slime body armour is kinda fun to see get ripped off them. The dialogue may get frustrating at times, but at the same time there is A LOT of dialogue in there and the developers did a fantastic job of preparing for optional outcomes.

[@m1rac1e]

the whole point of the game is the dialogue. my fav bit was in the weapon grafting chamber. before you go in to it, you can just sit outside & the dialogue is hilarious.
