Alicia! You are shitting yourself! Poop is coming out of your fucking asshole! Alicia! Go to the bathroom! GO!

Peak writing

game literally shows that women are stupid and men need to correct their behaviour only to be portrayed as the bad guy

But Renoir was in the same situation in the past and Aline had to pull him out.

source

Having fun is… LE BAD

No you killed my brother husband!!!

the fucking game, Renoir says it himself

when?

imagine being Clea dealing with all this nonsense

Mentally residing in a magical dimension that is indistinguishable from the "real" world is totally comparable to heroin addiction

Do Versofags really?

Andy can go ahead and retire, nothing in his remaining career will surpass this

After you beat him in Act 3, I think. I'm paraphrasing but he said something like, "It was your mother who saved me when I lost myself in an canvas. She showed me how to wield our gift safely."

BUT DAAAAAD I want to paint a thousand copies of Verso and a thousand copies of Gustave. Force them to fight each other to the death and let the winners fuck me!!!!!

The greatest sexpedition ever

i'll have a look, prob missed that part
too many baguettes in the french dub

he was lost in a painting but we don't know if it was grief related like Alicia and Aline

Maybe the canvas would still exist if only two of it's demiurges didn't have a woman moment and could manage their addictions

He was probably lost banging thousands of drawn chicks and painting gigantic orgies that lasted for decades. Imagine...

And that’s le bad. Having insane VR experiences is bad because umm well I dunno just stop having fun OK!?

Full dive VR would mean the end of society

Still pretty bummed we couldn't give Verso and Monoco their new beginnings

So? 99% of species this planet has harbored have gone extinct. At least our extinction would be rad for the individual.

staying in the painting kills you retard. Even in your escapism scenario staying in the painting is retarded. Would you rather stay in a painting for 100 years and die or stay in paintings for tens of thousands of years by not being an obsessed retard and leaving the painting for a few weeks once in a while

You only really need one painting though, since you can add anything you want into that one painting. A lifetime inside a perfect utopia should be enough for anyone.

bravo nolan

Verso really, really wanted to die.
At least he did it right and killed himself to help his not-family.

children shooting heroin is... le bad!

that's not what I mean. She can leave the painting after say 50 years without any consequence, go back inside the painting after a few weeks and repeat for 10s of thousands of years until she dies of old age irl. Or she can spend 100 years in the painting without leaving and die

Who's to say she wouldn't if allowed to do that? Her reluctance to leave the painting comes partly from the fact that it will be destroyed if she does, rendering everything and everyone she already painted null.

I'm talking from a strictly hedonistic POV.
She leaves the painting, Renoir is convinced Aline won't go in the painting, the painting survives happily longterm.
She doesn't leave the painting, Aline or Renoir don't go inside the painting, Renoir destroys the painting after Alicia dies. The painting survives happily for a few decades
She doesn't leave the painting, Renoir and Aline go inside the painting and start killing people again. The painting might survive for a few decades if Alicia manages to kick them out or it might survive for a few years only if Alicia gets kicked out. The painting is miserable

Those are the 3 most likely outcomes the painting will have imo

am i wrong or is being born and growing up a requirement for entering a canvas? in which case it takes 25 years just to grow up and remember youre a god before you can even get to work

it will be destroyed if she does,

First thing she mentions is that she has no life outside and her life is shit in general.

Golden Path: Clea kicks Maelle out of the painting and hides it from Alicia and Aline.

no, Alicia just fucked up when entering and Aline's chroma overwrote hers or some shit

Only Alicia ended up being a baby with no memories of the outside world in the canvas. Everybody else stays normal when they enter. Alicia just fucked up

Is NG+ worth playing or is the balance fucked? I do wanna keep my collectibles but if I'm gonna be overpowered I'd rather just start a new playthrough when DLC or a sequel comes out

So when's the Expedition 60 prequel

How is Maelle’s ending the bad one? Living forever in a paradise with a benevolent god is bad?

IMG_7228.png - 399x399, 57.93K

;)

Do you know why in religious theology serving God in heaven is so reassuring? Because God is meant to be infinitely loving and wise, in other words He doesn't have a feeble human mind. Meanwhile, living under the demiurge is nothing more than being a puppet.

Wait so was Alina locked in standing in front of the painting the whole time? Meaning aside from shitting she wasn't eating? So that implies 67 years in the painting passed by within the timeframe before her body would starve to death (8-12 weeks)?

We have no idea how time works. Maybe 67 years is like a couple of days.

escapism is bad anon, you should stop playing videogames and get a job

I wonder if Clea had to clean all their piss and shit on a regular basis

Alicia's life should she stay in the painting

Surrounded by people she loves, physically fit and literally has the powers of a god, so lacks for nothing

Alicia's life should she leave the painting

Crippled and disfigured, brotherless and the world is in the grips of a war in which she is considered a belligerent

She should leave the painting because...?

Because she can live for thousands of years in different paintings and she won't destroy her family in the process?

But she has already painted people that she cares about in this one. Who are you or anyone to tell her what she should and shouldn't do?

Because she's bound to become another Aline.

But she has already painted people that she cares about in this one.

They're dead and she can recreate them in another one anyways

Who are you or anyone to tell her what she should and shouldn't do?

Verso and Renoir are literally her family, dipshit.

Being family does not give you the right to dictate someone else's life for them.

dictate someone else's life for them

Do you even realize how ironic your post is? She's literally playing god over an entire world

A parent and an older brother should desu senpai

you gotta learn to let go

But by the admission of most Versofags, those are not real people so where's the harm?

Absolutely correct. If your kid wants to overdose on drugs you let them. Your rights end where their feelings begin.

Well I disagree, they are real and conscious. And erasing them is 100 times more merciful than subjecting them to a human demiurge, which by extension means the painters' power is inherently wrong of course.

Renoir is her father, he has every right. This would never have happened were it not for that one eyed freak and her ludicrous obsession with a fake version of her brother. I'd have taken the other eye out too just to teach that little bitch a lesson.

You mean force them to make love to each other because she gives massive fujo vibes

Because you have to face reality and become le stoic ubermensch even if it sucks ass and is boring

IMG_7229.jpg - 634x659, 48.92K

"She taught me every day inside has a cost."

"Do you know why I cannot leave you?"

of course

These anons still ask for permission from their parents when they want to do something.

Wojak is site culture, tourist. Troonsetera might more your speed

lets his infant eat medicine and die

"It was his choice."

Wojak is site culture

Yeah, Facebook. Now fuck off on home, jaktard

Is Alicia an infant?

Ranjeesh you are man of 16. I watch you eat of the snake poison. You are life man now

I am very glad your brown ass will never have children. Self correcting problem.

I'm 16 and I can stop shooting heroin any time I want

Sure thing honey, have fun

dies

Let me guess, all you niggas who think Verso’s ending is the good one would choose to genocide the entire human species if you found out we were in a simulation?

If it were a strain on the simulator's well-being, it's objectively correct yes. We're not entitled to our existence.

These are the people who want you to let go of something. I wonder if they even realize the irony.

No officer it's her life don't you see?!

If it means saving my mother? Sure. You wouldn't?

Maelletards are really stupid. The Canvas is DEAD no matter what happens. The moment Maelle dies the Canvas is GONE and everything Maelle did dies with it.

I would delete you like 10000 times if it meant saving my family, yes.

So? You get a couple of lives until then. Just enjoy life.

You could have hundreds of lives if you just indulge like a normal person.

Gustave would have fixed everything.

You get a couple of lives until then

why do retards always headcanon this? Maelle is WEAKER than the other two. She got overwritten by her mother with zero effort. Since Renoir was in trouble after 67 years, Alicia is fucked in less, and she's been in for 16 already.

I'm pretty sure the parents of a 16 year old who OD's would not be held responsible in the eyes of the law.

Johnny Law would let me go if I watched her OD and did nothing because they know it's her life and not mine

LOL

you get one life at best considering Renoir and Aline were already getting fucked and they didn't even spend 100 years in the canvas

Why is it so hard for you to understand that Maelle's ending makes no sense at all, and it's pure selfishness?

Autistic people sound like autists, what else is new? What IS funny is we should not be calling them 'Maelletards'. They get her killed. Only VERSOCHADS save their imoutos.

fake person strives for the truth

real person strives for the lie

KINO

I'm a maellefag, that's why I chose Verso's ending, to save my waifu.

What if Gustave escaped the painting and killed that bitch?

IMG_7230.jpg - 630x587, 26.64K

You can't even say it's weebs seething at no Golden Ending because us weebs love P3's ending, Shadow Heart's ending, one of the Tactics Ogre endings, Final Fantasy X, lots of other games.
We KNOW the bittersweet so it's not us. Must be the RPG newcomers.

Ever considered that maybe Alicia likes what she has now in the painting, and wants to live (more or less) a lifetime and then fade away? You could consider her ending to be her choosing a sort of soft euthanasia.

Based and correct-pilled. A true Maellefag.

and wants to live (more or less) a lifetime and then fade away

there he goes again with the headcanon

What now?

Even a few decades is good if your goal is just to be comfortable until you die.

just let your daughter kill herself bro

Even a few decades

good thing Maelle doesn't have that long and you were told repeatedly she is weaker than Renoir, who is weaker than Aline, and he's going to come back for her before that.
You were shown this parting shot with the piano sting for a reason, but I understand your autism prevented you from understanding why.

lolretard.png - 566x460, 190.14K

Just force your daughter to live as a cripple and endure the horrors of war, bro

Verso says that Maelle is not forced to live a life she doesn't want. She's a fucking Paintress she can just Paint whatever she wants.

you shouldn't live life when things are hard bro, just die instead bro

niggaplz.png - 713x582, 844.79K

her only actual disability is not being able to talk. She's not a cripple

You have this amazing gift to Paint. You will never suffer a life you don't want ever again.

Retard-kun: "OMG SHE IS IN PAIN AND MISERY AND NOT SMILING AND HAPPY IN THE END"

lol you retards

You can live the life you want

Ok, I want to retreat into a painting and stay there until I die because the real world is shit

NOT LIKE THAT

Ok, I want to retreat into a painting and stay there until I die because the real world is shit

Great. Can't wait to see you paint it.

can you get started immediately?

Yes, let her. It’s her life

Clea, my wife...

Make your own painting and let Verso's soul rest in peace already.

That's what Alicia wanted, you numbskulls.

Sorry my man, this isn't India. We don't do this in the West. Parents have a responsibility.

It's another episode of Maellejunkies seething and shitting themselves

Typical female writer

too fucking bad, this is why you beat her ass and force her to be happy with real life. I'm glad nobody loves you, you're completely fucking retarded.

and it's verso's painting. verso wants to destroy it so what right does maelle have to stop him?

No? She wanted to live in Verso's canvas that Renoir wanted to get rid of.

Alicia refused to leave Verso's canvas. She made it his business.

It's Renoirs life too and he wants to bitchslap some sense in his retard daughter and retard wife. Just let him bitchlap some sense in them, it's his life

Very true, fellow self determination chad!

5 minutes of screentime

instantly becomes best girl

right about everything

How is she so powerful?

She wanted to live in a painting until she died. It doesn't really matter for the sake of this argument whose painting it is, now does it?

Or are you going to argue next that her father would be ok with her permanently retreating into a painting if she painted it herself?

Me with my wife all month lol.

it's been so long since we've seen a Strong Female done correctly that we all forgot how good it could be

not being able to talk

while being a woman

disability

It's a benefit.
Considering that she's from an affluent family and despite skin injuries still has a cunt and a mouth, suitors will be lining up to her in no time.

and an eyehole

billions of living beings should be subjected to the whims of a flawed human 16yo girl because in her real life she has scars

Genocide is obviously the better choice for them.

it's a disability for her but a benefit for her future husband (me)

That's a man

Alicia just needs a writer dicking

I wish we could see more of her feet

DLC when?

billions

everything you Bad End tards say is lies, exaggerations, or simply just made up.
There's a few hundred people left in Lumiere after 67 yearly purges and Aline only created one small part of one town of NPCs. The edge of the painting is the end of the world, retard.

billions

with him being able to invent the lumina converter which had the ability to hoover up chroma that would have otherwise returned to the painters, if gustave knew the truth about the world, its very feasible he could have created some steampunk paintbrush and take admin rights from the painters.

QRD on writers and why they are mad?

billions

More like hundreds or a few thousands since Renoir killed them all.

t. gay and face blind

I don’t give a single shit about the Dessentres, I care about Lumiere and Gustave and Sophie and your party member friends

IMG_7191.jpg - 633x758, 37.96K

Oh sorry, only a few hundred have to be puppets for the demiurge then.

The real life Painter powers might actually be depicting themselves as the chad wojak and depicting their enemies as the virgin basedjak

How the fuck is there even a fucking war between painters and writers when on paper (heh) the powers of a Writer should be near omnipotence?

She’s not doing anything bad to them. The people are lucky to have such a nice god.

Sonichu is proof that painting should be approached with caution

we don't know the extent of the war or anyone's powers. I mean, Clea paints sculptures of monsters and they come to life. What else can they do?

another heavily cropped image for a shill thread for the most forgettable slop game that has not one memorable moment or spectacle in all 30+ hours of it

She forces Verso's soul fragment to keep painting the canvas despite it wanting to stop, and she also repaints Painted Verso as a puppet because she wasn't willing to let him go even though he begged her. It's pretty obvious she's sliding into becoming just as bad as the Paintress, if she isn't already.

Marche was wrong
Maruki was right
Maelle was right

simple as

walks around with her cleavage out

walks around with her feet out

is really straightforward, borderline bitchy

the in game arbiter of the highest points of gameplay the game has to offer

perfection

Even if she was perfectly well-adjusted and didn't have a fucked-up background, she has a human mind. That alone dooms her puppets. We can't play god since we can't ever be satisfied. She's bound to do the equivalent of drowning your sims in the pool.

Here is your average Writer. It'll be a short war.

This is something I was thinking about. They managed to interfere with "gods" powers. Makes you wonder how far they could go if they had time.

"PLEASE KILL ME PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I DON'T WANT THIS LIFE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!"

"NO MONKEY GO PLAY THE PIANO!!!"

lol
lmao
how mad r u?

What would the dlc even be about?

Me stuffing my face between Clea's thighs and lapping up her pussy like a greedy mutt being served scraps at the dinner table.

It doesn't really matter for the sake of this argument whose painting it is, now does it?

It does when her wish isn't actually to live in any old painting but in a very specific one that's not hers.

her father would be ok with her permanently retreating into a painting if she painted it herself

Why not? It's a more productive use of her grief. Improving her skills as a paintress to get the world just right. Considering that she's a shitty paintress and the people of Verso's canvas where Aline's finest creation yet she will be old before she actually gets close.

That doesn’t sound so bad. And it’s just one guy suffering slightly

Sorry I made fun of your ugly boyfriend, Jamal.

*rewrites his mind so he comes to love his life instead* Ok, now what?

NO MAELLE I DON'T WANT TO KEEP FUCKING THE HAPA BEAUTY I WANT TO DIE PLEASE KILL ME KILLLLLLLLLL MEEEEEEEEEE

Explain why she deserved to live less than Alicia.

hardmode: no Sims/VR/chatbot cop outs

Writers understand that p**nters are psychotic emotionally unstable children that toy with sentient life for shits and giggles and should be exterminated for greater good.

She has tattoos

n..no..y..you

as expected of a Anon Babble gay - the only kind that can't pull any tail from the loosest people on Earth. LOL

Maelle going on adventures with her friends if you chose the bad ending
Alicia crying alone in her room if you chose the good ending

TPD brother.

she gave the puss to Verso therefore had no further use. He gave her the Painter version of the 20 dollar Uber certificate to see herself home.

She is not a petite teenage redhead.

I dont see a problem with Maelle’s ending besides her controlling Verso and not letting him die

IMG_1649.jpg - 1179x1478, 1.07M

Why would anyone choose the Maelle ending? It's selfish retardation to LARP in a fantasy world.

The laws of physics simulate your being

I trust all Verso”chads” will be killing themselves shortly after this little revelation

Gustave would have made Maelle leave the painting if he had been alive for that entire part.

Erm actually that is so horrible that the entire world should be erased

If the laws of physics decided to end existence because we strain their well-being somehow, it would be the correct choice

incredibly unlikely to happen because it would require Verso not to fuck Sciel

only spite fucks him once out of ego because she's pissed at her parents

leads to her worst ending possible

What do we make of this?

I keep replaying Act I. It's crazy how good it is

Will killing myself come after 100 years of watching everyone I love day, and also I am immortal, and it will save my mom and sister?
If so, yeah, guess I will, cucktard

it's been so long since we've seen a Strong Female done correctly that we all forgot how good it could be

They just took Kleya from Andor. And she is also the best girl who will die a horrific and gruesome death tomorrow, probably.

What makes it good compared to the other acts?

Yeah, 100%. He just would've cried about Verso's methods.

"I should have fucked Gustave"

Maelle repaints her hymen, no harm no foul

I just don't care about Gustave

gay brown tourist seething I pointed out his ugly husbando is a man

Find me a single woman who looks like that IRL, go on, surely you can find one if you're not face blind anon.

The sense of adventure, the wonder, the hopeful outlook, the expedition and legacy themes

This but Verso

I just finished the game and watched Maelle's ending on Youtube. I'm glad her ending is the bad ending because that's objectively the worst choice.

I liked that he was the latest of the line of Paint People who were smart enough to use the paint as weapons somehow. The sonic weapon journal was pretty funny. That being said, Verso was way cooler. Anti-heroes are more fun.

best girl

But that's not an image of Golgra.

Will the movie retcon this shitty ending and give us true fantasy adventure kino? They can’t use the same story 1:1 for the film production.

Who do you think The Writers are?
I think it's the game devs and the family is at war with them because they wrote the fire that killed Verso.

lol faggot

Both Sciel and Lune were asking for it, Sophie was even setting them up.
My nigga Gustave was simply not in the headspace for bitches during his grindset.

We need the A Life to Dream ending. Come on, it can't end like this

pick Verso ending

Alicia now has to live with her bitch sister that scorns her and psychotic mother that loathes her

father probably disappointed in her

she is worthless in war with writers

shit paintress so she can't make her own Canvas

forced to live as a worhless cripple with family that detests her

is going to kill herself, being an angsty lonely teenager who lost everyone dear to her

this is a good thing, actually, because Verso got what he wanted

Nope. Not going to happen, not on my watch. Play the piano, piano player!

you're fucking delusional if you think that wouldn't be comparable to a hard drug addiction. Hell, if anything it'd be much worse and more addictive

we don't know what - with all the books and writing material in Maelle's room could be they were like

people like you are why we have yellow paint in games

I don't blame them it's a based number.

If the intentions of the devs were to show the destruction of Lumiere as the "good" ending, they must have realized at the end that they fucked up with actually presenting a convincing case for it for the entire game, and resorted to turning the endings into uplifting violin montage versus Slender man jumpscares to make you forget the moral implications of their choice.

looks like the hype is finally starting to simmer down. Gotta admit the legs on this thing are insane for a farpig though

literally just said she ropes in the ending that is shown to be hopeful and reality facing and denies she dies in the ending where the game says she will 100% die

he's crying HAHA

What would the dlc even be about

Easy
Verso, Simon, Monoko and 2 new party members who die at the end

you're gay
simple as

Why are Maellefags screaming " lol color doesn't prove anything!!" like that's the only factor when the Verso ending also straight up shows the family reconciling and beginning to move on from grief? Could it be because they know they immediately lose?

don't pay attention, don't engage with the writing beyond surface level! horror music BAD bright color GOOD

ooga booga

Very insightful posts you've got there. Maybe if you weren't a double digit IQ lobotomy you'd at least attempt at arguing how Alicia's life improves in the real bad (verso's) ending but alas

Pretty much this.

To think it's a good ending you'd need to start denying the fact she can manipulate the people from lumiere based on her whims and thoughts.
They were better off dead at that point.

that's not Lumiere dumbass, that's literal Paris

because they think if they fixate on one aspect of the scene framing, they can ignore all of them put together

Clair obscur- one ending dark, one bright

the music choices

the eerie faces covered in shadows

the use of the game's main theme in one ending and not the other

the way scenes are shot and held

the lingering made to Maelle's face

it's almost comical, and then they say

no just ignore the game okay think for yourself okay

You cannot reason with a junkie.

Real Ending.

He is MAD

how Alicia's life improves in the real bad (verso's)

She's not trapped by her grief anymore and can move on in a healthy way.
That's the whole message of the game and that's what matters in the end, that she can move on.
Instead of brainwashing a copy of her brother while she enslaves the last sliver of his soul for her enjoyment.

No, it's called Lumiere.

Lumiere = Light = City of Light

retard

Being this insecure when you could have ignored a shitpost

You fags are fags alright. Still waiting for you to prove any IRL 'woman' looks like that

You are talking with voices in your head, anon. It's not healthy. I never said she doesn't die in Maelle's ending. She however lives a life of joy and happiness before it happens as opposed to life of misery and loneliness. Now rebuke ANYTHING I say without buzzwords and falling for color coding like a dumb insectoid fly

This ending was the frenchest thing ever and I loved it.
It was absolutely beautiful.

why are you talking about yourself in the third person?

I was just pretending to be retarded (and gay)

YAWN

that's not Lumiere dumbass, that's literal Paris

holy fuck you niggers are dumb lmao

I LITERALLY don't give a fuck about the painters. I'd crucify them all just to bring back my nigga Lucien. Fuck painters and fuck the demiurge.

Neutral observer here. I haven't played the game, but the people arguing for the "Verso" ending are making much better and more coherent points than people arguing for the "Maelle" ending.

What's the song playing during this scene?
It was super good.

Based observer.

That's a man. If you weren't brown you'd be able to notice the subtle differences in white people's faces. I know niggas have low dimorphism but holy fuck.

address the music, cinematography, shadows, and black and white vs color first, delusional retard :)

When you say Lumiere in this context you obviously mean the painted city, not the "real" one (in my videogame)

Move on to... what? Living a horrible life as a cripple despised by her own family? Yeah, sounds very inciting. Obviously a much better deal then living a healthy happy life with close friends and family who loves her among people who probably idolise her for saving them. What a horrible end! Black and white! Le horror music! Rrrreeee!

faceblind gay keeps talking

you're gay, you're blind, you have AIDS, nobody cares
fuck off

I went with the Maelle ending because I was afraid I'd have to fight my OP one-shot build.

the 'real' city is called Lumiere too RETARD
it's why the one in the painting is the same
it's not our world

I haven't seen anyone mention the manor details.

Verso's room has toy trainsets and a stack of books next to his fireplace

Clea's room has little sculptures and canvases everywhere

Alicia's room has a little library full of books.

My headcanon is that the Writers tricked Alicia into reading a book that magically compelled her into starting the fire, which is why her mother blames her.

Living a horrible life as a cripple despised by her own family

it really does always come back to making shit up and headcanon with these retards LOL

keeps repeating the same flawed point in seething redditspeak like a broken robot

This is just sad bro...no wonder you went with Maelle's ending. You're literally incapable of letting go even when all is lost

address my surface level inane bells and whistles

There is nothing to address you cretin. Address an actual consequences of her actions. Address 3 sentient civilizations being genocided. Address characters that were shown and their relationships. Address circumstances and plot. God it's like talking to a 5 year old child.

Genocide is not justified to stop 3 people from dying due to something they caused. Simple as.

Aline painted over Alicia. It was just Alicia being too weak compared to Aline, not Alicia having problems with the canvas itself.

they ignore the ending they don't like and they clearly didn't play the extra dungeons. I assume most of these retards 'played' the game on Youtube. Renoir and Clea both clearly love their daughter/sister very much.

Humanity was already dead.
Gestrals aren't people.

i..it doesn't count because I say so, so I will ignore it

GG 2 EZ better luck next time gaylord

The one creating their world wanted to stop.
Not ifs or buts, they basically wrecked it beyond repair and was tired. Verso's soul is in his right to stop painting if he wants to.

STILL not a single argument, not a single point rebuked. I accept your pathetic concessions.

sentient

lol

you have to argue against all the stuff I made up in my head also the stuff in the game doesn't count

lol

Damn I was actually right. 18+ board, kiddo

Not sure Clea does but Renoir absolutely does. He's going to have to ease both his wife's and daughter's pain at the erasing of the canvas. Which he probably will.

Clea just seems cold to me.

18+ board

So why are you posting here? Even 15 year old kids on Tik Tok understood this game and you didn't.

Yes nigga, were the people going on expeditions not sapient?

You fantasise about digital trannies and your rage proves it

Renoir loves Alicia, she's his favorite.
Clea is 50/50.
Only Aline truly hates Alicia.

n-no y-out

at the start maelle is talking about how she hates lumiere and doesn't think of it as home

at the end she copes hard saying that everything she wants is in lumiere

???

Alicia is Renoir favorite

Verso was very obviously Aline’s favorite

Poor Clea.

the ending where Maelle is going to die? Well I declare she won't and will actually live

the ending where Alicia faces the future and the family bonds at Verso's grave, accepting it, and the cast waves goodbye to Alicia signifying the end of escapism? She actually le kills herself because I dream it to be so

HAHA these fucking clowns, holy shit

There's literally zero difference between gestrals and the canvas people.

When she gains both Maelle's and Alicia's memories, she thinks "maybe lumiere isn't so bad after all"

how mandatory are the 2 secret bosses. i dont wanna grind and min max autism

bro your GPU is not looking good

kid, you sound literally 12. I was here before you were even born, judging by how a pretty by-the-numbers story confused you so thoroughly.

She's the standard overachieving and highly capable daughter.
Never the favourite because she's just too competent to be cute.

She also calls Verso her brother, when he isn't. He's a painted version. She lies to herself all the time because she can't let go. She just wants to run away from her real life and be near her brother, which she can't really do without withering away.

optional boss....is le optional!

shut up and watch the cutscenes on jewtube you shitter

I'm pretty sure my 4080 Super is doing just fine, toasterfag.

it actually got to him

Yep I was correct

the real reason is there is a real lune out there that is perfectly fine

She wants the people, not the place. Because deep inside she knows something is wrong with Lumiere and is looking for an exit.
Which is quite relatable.

You were shown this parting shot with the piano sting for a reason, but I understand your autism prevented you from understanding why.

It's the same with the other ending, people don't deduce that she's gonna kill herself, since the "I'm seeing dead people" kind of shots are only here to show that she's about to join them again. If it was only to part ways, you would have the whole family "see" Verso.

She either dies in the painting if she lied to her dad like Verso calls out or she kills herself "irl" (but you could genuinely wonder if a world with a december 33rd is the real world and not a painting itself since the game already shows that you can have Canvases inside Canvases).

They see Verso, he's in a grave in front of them retard.

the family bonds at Verso's grave

Speedwatcher kun... They quiet literally can't even stand being close to her. There was no bonding. They despise Alicia for killing Verso. Aline hates her so much even 67+ years couldn't calm her down. I'd be surprised if she doesn't try to strangle Alicia with a pillow the same night.

yfw "Renoir summons the Axons."

you would have the whole family "see" Verso.

Now this is absolute schizo headcanon.
You see a bunch of people bidding farewell and think

yep, she's joining them soon

By this logic Renoir is stupid. Playact your "final conflict" with your teenage daughter and then let her "win" and play with her dolls for like 30 years or so. Regroup in the real world, placate Aline that you won't touch the canvas because Alicia is inside of it, work shit out with Aline that if Alicia stays she dies like Verso. Either Aline figures her shit out or has an even bigger woman moment and straight up hates her daughter/rival and thinks it is fitting she dies for Verso. Either way suit up with your only competent child and drag the burnt marshmallow out of the canvas kicking and screaming. Renoir was too rash and time was on his side.

Clea is right.
I'd be fucking mad if my mom not only fucked off to some magical land where she's god but even made fucking copies of her whole family including myself instead of actually you know, being my mom

Not really. The Drawfag struggles to keep humans alive but no one seem to care for other creatures. Probably because humans were the only menace to the canvas.

headcanon cope

The actual, real takeaway one should come out of the game with is that Painters are a fucking menace.

play the game retard

I had way too much damage to care

Is this game particularly demanding? I kinda wanna play it, but my PC is a bit of a potato.

Because he created them.
Aline made the humans.
But ultimately they are the same.
Nevrons too btw.

Well I declare she won't and will actually live

If Versotards just have to invent a stawman to even attempt to prove their ending is not the bad one, you know they actually have no arguments.
Alicia will die in either endings. It's just that in one she has a happy life as a healthy teen with warm family and a miserable one as a broken neglected cripple in the other.

a whole family of reality warpers that can make fake worlds and affect reality (clea and renoir rebuilt their manor with their powers)

I dunno if your potato PC could run it, but pirate it and try it at low. I was surprised my PC could run it pretty well on low-medium, but it's not-quite-potato. I did have to have everything but the game closed though.

Yes, you should, don't post your affirmations here though. Try it instead of watching streamers play on second monitor next time.

You should have seen my mom after my younger brother died. For months she was a shell of a person and a mess, spending enormous amounts of time at his grave.

I wasn't pissed but some people do not move on quickly. In this game's case, they don't move on without external force making them do it.

'fraid so.

Clea made Nevrons, trying to bring back mom.

Aline would have moved on faster if Verso's canvas didn't exist.
That thing destroyed their family. She spent over 100 years in it and she was still grieving his death with her fake family.

Clea doesn't give a single fuck about the painting and would make the entire world of the canvas a guttural maw of razor-sharp teeth if it meant keeping her family from entering it. I'm honestly surprised there are no lines of her saying she's just going to kill her family if they stay much longer, she seems to be an absolute sociopath.

This game really needs a true demon ending.

Aline FUCKED fake Renoir

Sciel's nonsense

Why is there so much cucking?

Verso is not Verso. Honestly Verso's character is the worst executed one. It is a muddled mess that makes no sense with no clear motives or ideas. It's a casualty of having to move so much of the plot forward in a specific way to fit the needs of pacing presentation.

yfw Verso wants to destroy the painting because he is worried they will find his painter equivalent of a browser history in it

cute

I don't think it's a matter of moving on quickly, the death of a son is something you never truly recover from, your mother's behavior is understandable
But there's grieving and there's doing the equivalent of shooting pure heroin up your veins constantly to cope
And in the case of your mom for example since she doesn't have godly superpowers your family as a whole can at least try to alleviate her pain
What the hell are the Dessandres meant to do if Aline just locks herself into fantasy land and apparently they can't even fuck with her body to take her out, the only way being literally going inside as well

But Verso's soul fragment, the real one (which is also the shadow boy you meet in many areas), does want to end the painting.

Tits are too big to be accurate

Otherwise it looks good.

I like how it's only inside the monolith where you find them and they are all there because it's basically an amalgam of every area.

same, I oneshotted both phases. Felt pretty bad about it, but I only did the relationship level quests before going into the final area and nothing else. They should definitely tune him to be more difficult

What do we maketh of this?

Clea doesn't want them to look into Canvas either because they were "playing" inside with Verso back when she was a teenager

What's the point of being one of the painters if you aren't supposed to hang out in your canvas?

Ruined.

You are supposed to, Aline and Renoir painted hundreds.
You are not supposed to lock yourself up in one because you can't deal with reality.

Gerudo village. I'm the only male Gerudo and have to constantly breed with Gerudo girls in order to preserve our clan

Being a painter is basically being a drug dealer.

playing sims except the inhabitants are actually sentient and aware

gee I wonder why would that power be considered bad

Clea needs writer dick.
Alicia too.

Alsace into bondage because France kept them tied up from joining Germany

kino...

Aline is mentally ill, literally
There's a reason Clea calls her fake family "obscene"
Sciel just wants to cope, it's absolutely out of touch unrealistic behavior to think someone will spend the rest of their life chaste as if some fucking fairy tale after their loved one dies, especially when they themselves only have a fucking single year left to live
And it's also terminally online autismo mentality to think her one night stands with Verso means she should somehow forget the husband she actually bonded with for years, if anything she's one of the most realistic characters in the game

Why not? If you can create a perfect utopia for yourself, why the fuck would you not stay until the end of your days?

Aline and Renoir painted hundreds.

all full of sapient creatures that they torture for fun

TPD cannot come soon enough

Both endings are ass

I'm going to be absolutely frank. If you believe Alicia isn't going to kill herself in the Verso/Acceptance ending, you are deluded. She is a disfigured woman, she has survivor's guilt, her voice has been rendered useless by permanent throat damage, and she has what can only be described as implicit hatred or passive aggressive behavior from her older sister and her mother regarding her brother's death on her hands.

Every red flag for suicide is going off for Maelle in the real world acceptance ending. Maybe you think she's a fighter and will walk it off. But this isn't a person who was born with disabilities, this is someone who had permanent physical trauma done to her and has severe survivor's guilt with it.

Her life isn't over but practically speaking, every little thing her life is now compared to before is eating away at her. I'm not saying either endings are good, I just think Alicia/Maelle is going to kill herself in the future regardless of player agency. Just like how many people can see from small facial expressions when characters like to each other (Verso lying to the group, Maelle lying to her dad, etc).

fuck off wrigger, clea is coming to kill every last one of you

noooo you have to eat slop with sweaty brown people in a sunless cave

Cypher was right, though. Why would you fight a prolonged war just so you can exist in a depressing wasteland?

if anything she's one of the most realistic characters in the game

Sciel is the example of "healthy grieving" the game offers.
Her life was horrible and something worse than what happened to Aline and it was her own fault.
She still decided to move on and accept death as part of life instead of wasting away in grief.
Sciel is super well written in this game and it's no wonder her and verso have some kind of unspoken affinity that goes way beyond the sex.

because you have to face le reality and become le stoic and suffer the pain of existing in a physically deformed always in physical and mental pain shell because... you have to!!!!
Oh but you also have to do it for your family members despite your sister not caring, your mom hating you like a stupid roastie for something that wasn't even your fault, but hey at least dad likes you!

Talk to Lune in the camp after Maelle ending. Maelle is working towards teaching them how to paint and making inception worlds aka paintings in their paintings. This destroys the pathetic versofags. Benevolent goddess Maelle is literally rejecting reality and restarting the multiverse at a new ground zero, which is the whole point of life. Sure Maelle will die in her reality but not before her creations are diving several pocket dimensions deep and outrunning the day of erasure through infinite time dilation escape velocity.

acts just like verso

has verso's memories

esquie considers him verso

makes the same choice as verso (dying to save alicia)

hating you like a stupid roastie

she sure got roasted alright

Can someone explain why the paintress gommaging people was made into a thing? Cunt move, no?

Alicia probably doesn't have the guts to kill herself, but her life will be fucking miserable that's for sure and Renoir is the only one that will make it tolerable

Clea hating Alicia is headcanon.

lmao nigga just paint another one

renoir is gommaging people, paintress is protecting them, but every year she loses a little more power so gives up on protecting the oldest of her creations, hence the age countdown.

Because it was a way through her waning power to prevent Renoir from instantly gommaging everyone instead

If anything Clea hates Aline & Renoir for being absolutely stupid teenage tier parents
As far as Alicia she most likely only finds her weak and stupid

the first thing Aline does when she sees non burned Maelle is start burning her face.

Kek, Aline is stone cold.

The whole nested reality thing destroys the idea that it is a "fake" world.

Women cause all the world's problems

The one woman who seems to want to fix problems is the one who acts the most like a man.

Well, at least the french are still capable of keeping it real.

I've been watching assmongoloid playing this. The dude looks absolutely fried. Zero reaction to any of the scenes. Is he on medication or is he just usually like that?

I've been watching assmongoloid

Forsen's playthrough was nice if you don't mind the dogshit build and him skipping optional content. He was engaged with the story, picked the correct choice(Verso) and passionately defended it

The best female protagonists are those who act the most masculine. They're basically dudes in woman's bodies. This has always been the case.

lny.png - 1080x1350, 1.18M

correct, did these people not do the endless tower? clea is proud of her sister and doesn't hate her at all, she's just coping due to her brother's death

she absolutely does think of her parents as shitty though for leaving her to deal with the Writers by herself

clea was probably the closest to verso (since they made the canvas together as kids) but is given the least room to grieve, so clearly she's just pissed the entire time watching her entire family act like retards

Best part of any stream is when they reach THE choice.
Some of them have a full blown meltdown and spend solid minutes trying to choose and rationalizing their choice and it's hilarious.
And most of them actually get why you should go with Verso.
I've seen some female streamers who love Maelle get absolutely sick at her ending.

I've watched like 20 different streamers and not a single one of them cried or even teared up. I cried like four times throughout the story. Am I depressed?

JAPENSE DUB WHEN

Why of all threads is this the serious story discussion room?

Madara was 100% right and not a single person proved otherwise btw

No, you're just not jaded and cynical, treasure it.

Yes. Depressed and anxious people cry really easily. I can get myself to bawl just by thinking about really "easy" sad stuff like my pet cat of 15 years dying.

Post some good ones

Watch some female streamers, some of them legit break drown.

People see:

topic is about game

lots of replies

OP cuckoldry doesn't matter.

Forsen is just cold in general, his dad died when he was young and he said he didn't cry when it happened(yes im parasocial)

designated shitposters are busy shitting up the threads with OP's actually advertising they want a serious discussion, welcome to Anon Babble

Because it's not a shitpost bait thread disguised as a serious thread and instead a general game discussion thread disguised as a shitpost.

Do... do I just like tomboys because of this? Because they're capable of reasoning like a man?

I just don’t care about that family. They’re total strangers to me, why should I give a shit about them? I spent 40 hours trying to save the city of Lumiere and now I’m supposed to care about some random family? I just don’t, just like I don’t care about some random family in Rio de Janerio

Why is this the most popular game of the year, but there are hardly any memes about it?

Because it's a depressive shitshow.
The closest to a meme you can get is repeating the expeditions mottos or Lune's death stare of pure rage

you posted one of the worst

No it isn't you zoomer nigger. Go back to the fucking sharty you animal.

painted renoir doesn't get enough props, people bundle him in with real renoir when they are completely different characters

It's a retard>midwit>genius bellcurve issue. The game enforces its interpretation of which ending is "good" and "bad" so midwits latch onto that. Geniuses see the potential in a painted world and the sheer amount of possible better outcomes than the "good" ending. It requires an actual understanding of the world and actually paying attention to all the words and pieces of lore to reach that level of knowledge so midwits who are going off of whatever music the devs decide to play in a scene get filtered.

Why is this the most popular game of the year

That would be Schedule I

Some make that wojak that says ”OMFG the graphics are insane!” but give it Maelle’s haircut

they have opposite goals

let's see yours bitch nigga

Anon, when you try to leave the frontdoor as Alicia during the flashback scene she tells you outside is Paris. You did explore, didn't you?

lol lmao

Hey, I'm not saying it's good, just popular. That shit has 200k steam reviews

True, all >130 IQs chose Maelle

Paris is called Ville Lumiere in real life too.

Good post.

Post your favorite memes!

damn that was brutal

a lot of them feel compelled to meme at the uncomfortable parts of the game just to avoid being vulnerable in front of their audience and express genuine emotion

we live in a society

quick question, can I fondle Alicia irl while she's in the painted world? like she wouldn't wake up right?

gamepass exists

people play for "free"

there are still schizos arguing alicia ending is good

Sorry, pimp, i just can't cry. Like literally it's a clinical disease

Too French, everyone just wants to kill themselves.

No, it's not like the tear ducts don't work, they just get 'clogged,' but a drop or two still comes out

Clea has middle child syndrome. It's why she's got the biggest ambitions.
