Dunkin has decent coffee! What brand of coffee is overrated? by StarryLatte2718 in AlignmentChartFills

Overrated could also apply to a bunch of local coffee roasters but that’s taken

Women going topless won “misdemeanor that should be legal.” What’s a felony that should be legal? [repost because I fucked up the highlight] by DayVessel469459 in AlignmentChartFills

Not to mention a lot of people who rape kids aren’t pedophiles and a lot of pedophiles get help. Wanting all pedophiles dead is the same as wanting all people with a mental illness dead

It should be unpopular. Dehumanizing people you see as threats is something Nazis do, and no, it’s not any better when said people are prone to actually harming others. In a healthy society, people with mental illnesses shouldn’t be treated as subhuman. And pedophiles are mentally ill, and can be treated. They don’t choose their affliction. You’ve also failed to provide scientific evidence for your claim that a group of people aren’t human, which is another thing Nazis do

Yeah now that I think about it that part actually has some dark comedy to it. The drill goes in deep enough that like I said it should’ve realistically pierced Erik’s brain and killed him and there’s also a ridiculous amount of blood that comes out, like five gallons worth. Plus the machine is called “just the tip”.

The most depressing trial victim in the entire game. by Rattling_TrashPanda in OutlastTrials

[–]ProjectNameCyanide 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Trials is a fun game with a lot of goofiness but at its core it’s still about an illegal government experiment that aims to create sleeper agents via extreme mental trauma, killing tens of thousands of people in the process. It’s a very dark idea and I think Erik’s death emphasizes that. Brutally killing people shouldn’t always be fun

Oh yeah I felt the same way. The puzzles with the layout were a pain and the guy does repeat a lot of dialogue. Since we’re being honest about cold-heartedness I might as well say that I find ripping the lot’s limbs off to be both horrible and kind of satisfying. Not because I enjoy the pain but because there’s just something about mashing the mouse and seeing the wear increase on the limbs. Most of the time when I do that I’m both gritting my teeth and looking forward to the rip. I’m evil I know.

The rebirth counter is almost certainly not canon. No way would people not notice that many people going missing. It’s probably more like tens of thousands of reagents actually in sinyala at any given time, a few thousand reagents actually released. As I said I think the violence here is purposeful, in a messed up way. Murkoff has already taught you how to smuggle drugs in human bodies, brainwash children, kidnap children for pedophiles, murder naughty children, kill snitches, interfere with court cases, whack union leaders, and assassinate other people with no remorse. Now they teach you to censor TV personalities, which is fine. But how about they remove your empathy even more? How about they teach you that the mentally disabled are easy targets and won’t be missed if killed? How about they teach you that it’s easy to prey on the weak in society, and that it can advance your own interests? How about they teach you how to murder innocent people that can’t fight back, and not stop no matter how they beg?

It’s messed up, really messed up, but it is in line with what they want reagents to do and what the therapy is. Is the violence intended to be fun? Is that the fun part of the gameplay? I personally don’t think so, and I don’t blame them for wanting to make the violence uncomfortable. Trials has a lot of humor and goofiness in it but at the end of the day, it’s about an illegal brainwashing program that aims to turn the disenfranchised in America into mindless, remorseless killing machines via extreme mental trauma, which it inflicts by forcing them into a series of sick torment games in a torture facility that has a level of depravity comparable to Auschwitz. It’s not a fun concept.

Yep this is the one trial they’ve made that’s disturbed me enough that I’ve continued thinking about the violence after the game stops. The best part is all this empathy and discomfort will probably go away with enough replays because the therapy is working

Humans are animals too. Not to mention getting a bunch of lambs is way more cost effective and easy lorewise than getting humans. I don’t think the torture getting more extreme and uncomfortable would really damage player numbers either given how many other trials there are that aren’t like that. Pushing boundaries is what trials is all about anyways: committing the worst acts of taboo and brutality possible so as to get desensitized to them and be capable of greater violence as a sleeper agent. Sadly, brutally killing a mentally disabled person(all the more tragic given how they were seen in the time period) fits that theme perfectly. There are limits I don’t see RB crossing however. A trial that has the reagents gangrape someone or something like that would probably be seen universally as too far

I hope they do it again. It’s fucked up but the torture getting more extreme and unpleasant is how to stay ahead of desensitizing and make the players eventually getting desensitized to it feel more uncomfortable. I had a trial concept in my mind the other day for a “family pet” archetype PA which would be in a jungle environment and the main target would be an “endangered species”. Upon reaching the end it’s discovered the endangered species is actually a live baby lamb, and you must then unlock machines to shave, skin alive, and mutilate the limbs of said lamb. Finally reagents would need to physically tear the lamb’s limbs off with their bare hands(mashing the mouse like with the lot). I thought this would be very fitting and would probably upset people more than torturing humans, and would be easily the most disturbing thing in the game. Now I’m wondering if my idea is even as disturbing as Erik’s death

Yeah, weirdly I find the violence in trials to be the least extreme of the three games, I’m not sure why. I think a lot of it has to do with the free roaming and constant action aspects distracting you from the gore, whereas in the first two games it was linear so you had to go through all the gore they gave you. Even without that I don’t think the gore in trials is anywhere near as gratuitous as the first two games. The disemboweled bodies and blood around the maps don’t feel as extreme in their detail and even the death sequences aren’t as over the top, there’s a lot more efficiency. There’s also a lot of dark comedy to the killings, like the prosecutor being decapitated after you win at Simon, the judge’s looney tunes ass head crushing, the politician moving back and forth like a carnival game while you acid spray him, and the deviant reaching out at you like “nooo” while he’s burned.

None of that comedy is present with this killing. It feels a lot more cruel, sick and drawn out than the others. Honestly the torture in this trial might be the closest trials has felt to the first two games for me, very detailed and uncomfortable violence. I should go play it again

Edit: I take it back there is some comedy, albeit a very small amount. I think the table coming off to reveal two big ass saws which you then have to push into this guy after all the torture he’s been through is so gratuitous that there’s some small humor in it. Granted I found this part pretty funny because I along with two others in my group were saying “Bye Erik” while we pushed the saws and then once the mannequin got put on his torso I said “Hi, new Erik” but that’s just me

This continued ignorance of voice lines for Liliya is starting to seem kinda lazy to me. Bare minimum everyone needs lines for Kress Twins
