but I did learn a lot, including how bloodseeker's ult works)
to be fair, seeing someone new running around with bloodseeker's ult on them is one of the more frustrating things to see *chorus of angry nerds shout "stop moving!" while nooblord runs in small circles until they die*

can you at least let me know if the other "endings" are just quitting the game? i'd maybe try to hunt them down, but if it's just more cop outs, then i'm not sure i feel like bothering. the problem with stuff like that is, imo, that you're pushing the message that your message / story isn't worth listening to. if you genuinely believe that me fantasizing about my own ending for the game is equally as valid as anything you write for it, then what's the point of even playing your game? why even bother publishing the game? i might as well just look up story prompts and live in my own little self-created fantasy worlds. plus, the sarcastic hacker ending gives a lot of what the game says elsewhere a sort of cognitive dissonance. (unless you're not actually trying to speak through the girl in the hogwarts area. i assume it's the author speaking through a character, due to the way everything is phrased, but hopefully i'm wrong?)
i really hope this isn't as cliched and boring as it seems to be right now. it was so promising before the hogwarts area, but when she went into the whole relativism-hippy-everything-is-equal ranting, it made me sad.
i hope it's just me focusing too much on this one point, and that you're actually trying to convey something more interesting / comprehensive than this one point. i'm tempted to believe that the hacker thing is just poor writing, but i'm hoping you'll tell me that i'm missing something. game devs are very rarely that subtle, though, and if you weren't here to tell me otherwise, or if you don't say otherwise, i wouldn't / won't bother with it any more than i already have. because again, at that point, you're basically telling me that you think that your story wasn't worth the effort of reading in the first place.
edit: i guess i should also mention that i really liked how this uses the saving / replaying visual novel tropes (replay the game 200 times and reread the same shit to get the true happy ending blahblahblah!) i enjoyed most of the rest of the game, too. i'm mostly just disappointed with the one aspect i've been going over, but i guess i like the game, overall. i just hope the one thing isn't as dum as it appears to be so far. i tend to fixate on things i'm critical of / that impact me negatively over things that i enjoy. in this case, partly cuz i want to be proven wrong.

bots first, although it can be hard to win games with bots on your side too, since they plan shit amongst themselves and don't really wait for you. there's a mode that matches you up w/ real people vs bots, too, though.
easiest way to learn is to have a friend who knows how to play let you play with them.

I hope I'm just missing the real ending, and the hacker "choose your own ending" bs is a red herring. if you really believe all that bull, then why would you even bother making the game in the first place? it's just a (pretentious, somewhat self-righteous, definitely overdone) cop-out. and why would you write the hacker ending so sarcastically if you really believed all that bunk about choosing your own ending? i really hope you're not that dum, and i'm just too dum to find the real ending.

you guys are idiots. you're honestly wonder why msoft / sony are moving from power pc based processors to x86-64 based processors? really? it has nothing whatsoever to do with them intentionally blocking old games from the system, you retarded wannabe conspiracy theorists. x86-64 is used for everything now. it'll make development easier. it's more widely supported and produced. it'll be cheaper, and probably better, than any alternatives.
come on, use your fucking brains.

I felt they where to 'rigid' and too 'predefined'.

Some say risk nothing, try only for the sure thing, Others say nothing gambled nothing gained, Go all out for your dream. Life can be lived either way, but for me, I'd rather try and fail, than never try at all, you see.
Some say "Don't ever fall in love, Play the game of life wide open, Burn your candle at both ends." But I say "No! It's better to have loved and lost, Than never to have loved at all, my friend."
When many moons have gone by, And you are alone with your dreams of yesteryear, All your memories will bring you cheer. You'll be satisfied, succeed or fail, win or lose, Knowing the right path you did choose.
-P. Diddy

yeah you're right, since you just say it isn't a cheat, it must not be a cheat. you are the Best at Arguments! congratulations, your brilliant combination of constantly repeating "i'm right you're wrong!" and insulting everyone has proven yet another point.

calm your personal attacks you baby
some random faggot on a games forum.
lol changing the fov in an options menu is quite a bit different from using an obscure console command to try to move the camera higher than it normally sits (until another camera move resets the height, from moving it with the minimap or whatever.) all other things indicate they'd like the fov locked. and if we're going off of what fpss do, tf2 locks the fov to 90 or lower. this isn't the 90s, and valve isn't id Software, so the quake example doesn't really apply here. if every other valve game locks down the fov, and moving the camera resets the height, it's pretty obvious that this is unintentional. there was another way to do this by moving to the edge of the map, and i'm pretty sure they removed that, too?

doesn't look like cheating to me, it's not like you can see what's in the fog of war or anything. and it's the same information that's on the minimap. sucks it zooms back in when you click on your hero or the map though.
plus it should be pretty fucking obvious from that that this is an exploit and not an intentional thing
