On first seeing him in the bar scene, before knowing he was going to be a major character, my immediate reaction was "lol, Super Freddie Mercury". So I think they were probably thinking that.

Funny you say that, since it's actually defeated by Heaven DIO in a videogame like it's nothing. The answer, as always, is just "it doesn't work because."

because Heaven DIO can rewrite time and reality, and just like the main plot Fate seems to make sure Jotaro has all the same abilities so that DIO can never win.

Right, but there's no reason GER shouldn't be able to just go "your attempt to rewrite never happens" like a bad GM just as before, if the trigger is any aggression. It just doesn't. The whole thing's really no different from power levels or Digimon or whatever.

Imagine choosing the woman who willingly kissed an alien?! Aliens aren't human more like inteligent beasts like Scooby-Doo. Ergo Blonde Blazer kissed a dog and the ONLY reason that white woman didn't fuck that dog is because she couldn't figure it out.

Robert needs someone stable
Invisigal needs a Father, not a Daddy
When will it begin?

I completely agree. Offscreen Robert is either going to end up stabbed, robbed, or accused of something by that BPDemon. But I don't know if I could get past the whole made out with an alien. What's the alien version of burn the coal, pay the toll? I feel if anyplace knows it Kiwifarms would.

Just finished the game and it was better than I expected, I can't say I like tuber fags being the voice actors on some of the side characters especially that demon women who wasn't well cast IMO.

The dialogue in this game is pretty poor; over-explaining jokes in a deadpan voice, being awkward in that really forced, obvious way, juvenile humour and swearing... insults tend to just taking one word of a character's name and changing it to dick, or cuck, or something similar, just absolute playground insult-levels.
So the game opens with this character I don't know interrogating someone else I don't know, threatening to drop him off a balcony, then I'm presented with a choice as to whether to drop the guy or not. I don't know?? I'm given next to no context as to what's going on, I have no idea who these two characters are and I'm not given enough information about Robert's personality. I chose to pull the guy up in my playthrough, then I later looked up what happens if you drop the guy, turns out he just falls onto a mattress that Robert prepared earlier. Great, so my choices don't matter, Robert has information that the player does not, which is really unfair from a narrative perspective; players who choose to drop the guy in hopes of killing him might even be disappointed and feel cheated by this decision.
The "X will remember that" continues to be intrusive and useless information. Is that to imply that the other decisions I make *don't* matter? It's the equivalent of the writer going "That choice you made? It has consequences! Nudge nudge." Would it not be more meaningful if the player makes a choice, later on sees a consequence, and then realise on their own that their choice from earlier influenced the outcome? Instead, all this does is let me know that the characters have a sense of comprehension and recollection. Yes, worked out that much on my own, thank you.
The public immediately turning on Robert and shitting on him because his robot got blown up just seems... weird and out of place? You have people from the press delivering awkward exposition and then asking if Robert's father would be disappointed in him, which again, is just a strange thing to say to him.
Choosing dialogue options for Robert is just strange as well. We're not exactly role-playing or self-inserting since Robert is already a rather established character. Instead we're simply shaping what kind of Robert he turns out to be, as indicated by the results given to you at the end of the game. Again, the game doesn't really give us enough to go on, puts the players in the deep end and just says "Go."
The cringey "jokes" come back again during Robert's confrontation with Flambae. You even have characters in the background laughing at Robert's insult, which is the equivalent of the writers patting themselves on the back at how good their writing is.
Blonde Blazer wants Robert to keep his identity as Mecha Man a secret, but neglects to remind him to not show up at work dressed up. Another similar issue shows up a bit later when Royd is seen tossing parts of his robot into the back of a truck outside Robert's apartment, in broad daylight. Again, his identity is supposed to be kept secret, but it doesn't seem like they're all that concerned.
The dialogue issues keep resurfacing, but one moment that stuck out to me was when Invisigal call Robert "Lieutenant Dan" while trying to think of movie references. And if that's not bad enough, Robert then has to say out loud what the reference is from, and he does it in a deadpan voice as if the character is saying "Don't worry, I'm in on the joke with you, audience. I know how lame that was but it's also a cool reference."
Lightningstruck fights with her during this scene, I feel like when you're dealing with someone who can turn invisible, you don't want to throw them and put distance between you two. Just a thought.
Invisigal goes against orders when you're given the choice as to whether to disarm the old man with the beam cannon, or to stop Lightningstruck. I feel like it would make more sense if she obeys orders and whatever the outcome, both Robert and the player will have to deal with the consequences of what they chose.
Invisigal accusing Robert of never putting himself on the line is absolutely bizarre considering she saw his scar-covered body earlier on. Later on she says she isn't superhero material because she has "villain powers", turning invisible to skulk in the shadows and stealing. What? Sure man, that's how that works. Yeah okay, there's NO other application of invisibility, you moron.
Invisigal's rematch with Lightningstruck. Bit odd that she needs Robert to know where the guy is, considering the fucker is glowing and she can turn invisible. He's not exactly being stealthy. Just an awkward attempt to shoehorn in them working together.
The choice to cut either Sonar or Coupé is given to Robert early on in the game. But at that point both of them had been my top heroes during the gameplay sections. If I HAD to cut someone, I would choose Invisigal over both of them, since she went against orders and compromised a mission earlier on. But I don't even agree with the cutting decision to begin with since the whole idea is to rehabilitate them and turn them into better versions of themselves. Cutting someone just puts a person with superpowers back onto the streets, where they would most likely use their powers for evil.

I didn't expect this to become a thing anyone cared about. Sold 3 million copies apparently:

On the bright side: your main character isn't blisteringly incompetent (just down on his luck), and both relationship options are heterosexual so I suppose it's a step in the right direction.

Just found this; about a month old, but I figured someone here might get a laugh.
Seems like Sonar is good for memes, at the very least. Waiting for the moment he explains the difference between a clip and a mag, personally.

I think of it like the Stack in MTG or other things where certain things take precedent, GER simply cannot react as its already reality re-written to do nothing.
and Jojo relies less on Power Levels than most, one of the strongest abilities ever in the series gets beaten by a really really thin bubble.

This is the true, and correct choice. Shocked that 61% would pick Vis. The nose ring alone is a hard no.
Edit: Reading through the thread, I missed where the game specifically stated Flambe is gay. I've been calling him the Flaming Faggot, and genuinely wished that was a nickname choice since it was quite fitting. Sadly we live in current year +10

It's because, outside of the first episode, Invisigal dominates screentime and interactions with Robert. It's like a 70/30 split between the two, with Blazer spending a lot of her time being a kind of annoying HR lady.
Also, for a lot of people, it was over as soon as Invisigal got a sex scene. Softcore porn motivates most people when it comes to romance in videogames.

Greetings, salutations, it has been a hot minute since I've been in here.
I was thinking of getting this game, but...After seeing some of the issues that this thread talked about that the press/normies didn't mention, now I'm not sure I wanna spend money on it.
Sigh, between this and Code Vein II, that's two bullets I've dodged lately...
