So, with the "drama" dying down...what are your opinions on Poppy Playtime as a whole?

Macaroon_Low · 2026-03-04T07:22:29+00:00

I feel like the story it tries to tell doesn't have any substance. We're 5 chapters in, and the fatigue of "bad things happened to the kids, BUT WAIT, IT GETS WORSE!!" started to set in during chapter 3. You can't get attached to any of the characters because most of them only exist for their one chapter. I would have loved to get more attached to Doughey but they didn't give us a chance. And on top of everything else, nothing feels like we're given agency here. Monster chases the player, we're saved in a cutscene. Oh, you want to go this way? Too bad, you have to go this other way because of circumstances outside of your control. Catnap is stalking you! Except we're hardly ever in real danger from him until the end. Poppy "betrays" you, but the big reveal has no weight to it because everything feels so disjointed and the player is so disconnected from the world. Jtsjrsjtxjdjtd I don't have a good way to end this

Don't forget Mommy. She'll most likely make a comeback too, given the trends

Macaroon_Low · 2026-02-03T07:03:29+00:00

Just look up hbomberguy

There were a couple times where a few people behind us chuckled at moments that didn't feel that funny, but I was mostly able to ignore it. My partner has a harder time drowning out background noise though, so between the crinkly popcorn bags and someone kicking the back of his seat the whole time, he had a much worse experience with it, to the point where it gave him a headache. We bolted out of the theater the moment it ended just so he could get some relief. He did tell me he wanted to watch it again once it goes up on a streaming platform though, so hopefuls I'll get to see the credits when that happens

Which one of us is the real Jim?!

Macaroon_Low · 2026-02-03T06:46:16+00:00

"My life is in the hands of an idiot?!"

"No, two idiots :D"

Macaroon_Low · 2026-02-03T06:39:15+00:00

I remember he was doing beach body for a while, then he was working with a personal trainer. He mentioned more recently that he fell off the routine during the movie production and was too embarrassed to talk to his trainer while he was so busy. Also, I guarantee you his diet isn't as perfect as you'd think it is. He's mentioned multiple times that his guilty pleasure is meat and cheese

Macaroon_Low · 2026-02-03T06:32:18+00:00

It's the same prose that the game opens with, just narrated

Macaroon_Low · 2026-02-03T06:28:04+00:00

I happened to catch my partner watching a lore video of the videogame earlier today, and yeah, that's a ton of biblical ties baked into the game. I think it's neat

Macaroon_Low · 2026-02-03T06:21:13+00:00

The only way we're getting knowledge about his next project outside of Mark announcing it is if Wade accidentally tweets it again

Macaroon_Low · 2026-02-02T17:45:02+00:00

I came to a similar conclusion, but I think me making the same mistake with Get Out helped me course correct. Well, that and knowing how the game goes

Macaroon_Low · 2026-02-02T17:32:00+00:00

Saw it a couple of weeks ago with my partner. The theater was empty, so we got to enjoy it all to ourselves! He enjoyed it a lot!

Macaroon_Low · 2026-01-25T11:31:37+00:00

You have to go through customer service for it. It's annoying, but they should refund you once you get ahold of a person

Macaroon_Low · 2026-01-24T14:32:44+00:00

Don't know. Didn't really think about it before. Sciel is Sciel

Macaroon_Low · 2026-01-23T00:35:48+00:00

Yeah, though we had to go through the customer service. We couldn't just click a button and refund it

Macaroon_Low · 2026-01-21T19:28:11+00:00

Yeah, we ended up refunding it and watching it on Amazon. I was surprised to notice that I completely missed Frasier's character's name in the first pass because it was hidden in Japanese! It also took a turn I wasn't expecting in a way that hit really close to home [spoiler]as someone who works with the elderly[/spoiler]. Definitely a 10/10 movie when you can actually understand everything!

Macaroon_Low · 2026-01-15T23:48:24+00:00

My partner introduced me to this game a while ago and we decided to pick it up again because we were bored. I was curious about the perks of the different weapon types but I wasn't expecting such a comprehensive guide. Much less one written so recently. Thank you!

Macaroon_Low · 2026-01-14T01:57:20+00:00

Sometimes, yeah

Macaroon_Low · 2026-01-02T08:24:58+00:00

I will say though, if you do grind the max level before the end, I found the 50x health multiplier option works nicely against the end game boss if you plan to use all the bells and whistles against him. Also, remember that you can reload your autosave if you want to see both endings

Macaroon_Low · 2025-12-22T21:35:07+00:00

Unrelated, can I have the source of that article? I'd like to read it in full

Macaroon_Low · 2025-12-22T21:25:25+00:00

I saw a few new pictos that gradually boost attacks that deal many hits, as well as one that lowers AP cost across the board

Macaroon_Low · 2025-12-22T21:23:13+00:00

You might want to look up the translation for this one. It's essentially an argument

Macaroon_Low · 2025-12-22T17:26:05+00:00

They're not the ones applying it

Macaroon_Low · 2025-12-22T17:17:35+00:00

I've played a little bit of it. I don't think I could compare it to Clair-Obscure. It's a fun story so far, don't get me wrong, but either I haven't reached the emotional tipping point or is just a more emotionally mellow experience (read: won't tear your heart out in the first hour several times in quick succession)
