What's 'This is the Police' like, Sup Forums? All I know of it is that it's a indie game that some SJWs got triggered over.

First I've heard of it. Sounds sorta interesting. Police office sim?

But yeah, never heard of it before.

I pirated it, it seems fun, if I have the urge to play a few more sessions I might actually buy it

The gog torrent on the bay is safe

You can only play it one way without getting the get killed ending.
You have to be corrupt, so basically the illusion of choice but no actual choice.

Don't listen to this guy OP
The highest level of corruption that you /have/ to do is tell a Mafia boss that you'll help him. But you don't have to, you can start building a case on him. Just send an officer to help him when he asks every so often or ignore a non serious crime he asks you to ignore every so often and you don't die

>All I know of it is that it's a indie game that some SJWs got triggered over.
shame thats all im seeing it praised for now
wish it could stand on its own merits

You play as the Chief of Police for the Freeburg Police Department. The mayor has announced that you'll be retiring in 6 months (not your choice), so you need to make 500,000 dollars in 180 days for your retirement. The game involved a god sim sort of thing where you dispatch your hired officers to crimes and sometimes pick an option for what they do etc. You'll also get events to deal with like riots and protests which you can disperse with force if you wish. However, the district attorney will investigate, so you get questioned and such. You have to choose what to say in hearings and press conferences, deal with occasional life stuff and the Mafia. You also have to piece together investigations like murders and robberies as your detectives work on them. You also need to extract information from suspects, legally or illegally. On top of all that, you have to keep city hall happy and help them when they ask so they approve your upgrade requests and don't cut your resources

Free burgers?

Alright fellas, how do I into investigations
I can never seem to get enough frames

Shill thread.

Have your detectives working on shifts to get frames
I think you also need to interrogate suspects or something

U wot

Well no shit getting detectives on both shifts helps, but even still I've been working on a hit and run case for a month and it still hasnt given me any more frames.
Should I just jam pack all my detectives into one case at a time or what?

>people wanting to talk about new game
>lol must be a shill
kys you fucking nigger

Realistic representation of american police?

Huh, I've no clue then. I'm not sure how you further it then. How many frames do you have?

in the morning you get to see that days headlines
then you get a story clip which is surprisingly well written about the life of a withering police chief trying to get by
then throughout the day you get calls and have to decide how to allocate your resources to try to do as much as you can for the city, or to pad your pockets, or to appease the mayor. this is the game part, it's a management sim. the cases you get make it pretty fun.
I've only played 2-3 hours but it's looking gud.

Alright fellas
I think we can all agree Boyd's secretary is best girl

>starring John St. John
SOLD

Fuck off to your Overwatch thread you fucking retarded nigger

Waifu tier?
We know his wife is shit now anyway

Yeah, some nice warm ones too

Just come down to the police station and we'll hand em over

When it got to the gang war part you basically have to do all the mafia bitch missions in order to not die.

I would think she's waifu-tier

Boyd did nothing wrong. Even if you went corrupt, he did nothing wrong and was entirely justified

>up and coming FoTM
>shilling
neo-Sup Forums everyone.

I let my friends family die in some misplaced attempt at keeping the mob at arms length. I'm pretty sure Boyd did something wrong.

No you don't
You can refuse to send him officers whenever you like, as long as you don't respond to a crime every so often for him.
That, or you can respond to crimes and send him an officer now and then

Alright, good point.
If you helped Kendrick then Boyd did nothing wrong

Nope, if you don't get more points then the other mafia gang you die.

Anyone have the screenshot where he's on the phone and tells his mother in law about making up charges?

...

Which is pretty easy to do

Also shit my captcha

Sounds like it might be fun. Since I hadn't heard about it before tday though I might wait until its on sale to pick up or something.

Boyd telling it how it is, in real life too
Shit man

It's pretty fun.

So yeah, you're a mafia bitch and there's nothing you can do, unless you rat them out later, but I didn't get that far, because I'm not a bitch.

It's a cheap game, chances are it won't be on sale for a while. I'd pirate it now and buy it later, and then post screenshots of you playing here to entertain us

>people are talking about videogames on the videogames board
>this happens so little that people are suspicious of this behavior

This game is a heavy dose of reality for sjws, niggers and the media. I like it already. Might buy a copy if I got nothing better to do later this month.

The amount of salty moralfags going WAAH WHY CAN'T I BE THE PERFECT COP HERO WHO EVERYONE LOVES is insane. The fact that you can't openly tell the mafia to go fuck itself and try to bust down their operation with insufficient or minimal hard evidence and no effort really rubs these kinds of people the wrong way.

Retard the mayor office is villianized in the game, what kind of game do you think would be on the side of a group talking about civic activism as something that needs to be quashed.

mega link where. I can't torrent

I have a friend like that who has to be the total lawful good messiah in every game he plays, nothing against him but it gets kinda annoying honestly

Where's the "engage in all out war" option? If you're going to force the player to get involved with the mafia, you should let the player say "fuck you" and let all their cops get killed for the sake of hubris. It's just lazy storytelling to do it this way.

>look at steam page
>see screenshots
so sjws get triggered just by being mentioned?

There better be a free boat scam option to catch criminals with warrants.

I like the game, it has a pretty good balance of keeping you on your toes with almost constant "OH SHIT HOW DO I DEAL WITH ALL OF THIS I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MANPOWER AND WHY ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE SUCH SHITBAGS ALL THE TIME?" while still letting you feel like you're in control.

The only think I regret is that I'm literally too stupid to solve some of these cases. Picture related.

Mate, in case you didnt realize, everyone in the game is some varying level of villain/anti-hero
And that everyone is basically just out for their own personal interests, whatever they may be, and happen to coincide or conflict with others interests
Just like real life

The 'engage in all out war' button is the one where a mafia member shows up to shoot you. In what fucking world does the mafia fight on equal terms with a rogue cop? They won't put on their boxing gloves and give you a good jolly honest competition, they will FUCKING KILL YOU.

Mate, the cars are different colors in those frames
And the witness describes a dark sedan
So only use frames involving dark sedan
Im stuck on this because I cant get enough dark sedan frames

>red car magically transforms into black car halfway through

You can say other things too. I'm guessing the devs aren't strongly interested in arguing with people on social media.

Fuck, I hate being color blind.

> Retard the mayor office is villianized in the game

And? That's nothing new in reality. The media often villanize anything for good story.

> what kind of game do you think would be on the side of a group talking about civic activism as something that needs to be quashed.

That doesn't mean shit. It could be any game. Ever played State of Emergency for the ps2?

Alright, so what do those letters beside officers' portraits do anyways?
And what are the point of snitches?

Snitches tell you what the police station thinks of you in general so you can know when you can tell people to stay and work, and they also let you know when people intend to testify against you.

>people talking about and liking an indie game
>"MUST BE SHILLS!!!"

why does this happen?

No, you can choose to violently disperse riots/protests by LGBT groups, Feminists and blacks by using cops and SWAT

It's not overwatch

>spend a shit ton of money on the records
>get put into the coma
>wake up
>all the records are gone and I have to start over with my collection
JUST

It's a black car
Also the red car driving frame has blood on it, why would you put it before the car hits the man?

The A and B? It refers to what shift they're on

It was a red car for me

I got sad when they cut my salary in half because I gave honest answers as to why I stomped out a feminist protest.

Thanks for helping an idiot.

Stop shilling your garbage indie shit, you stupid cuck.

>I told them the mafia ordered me to kill the feminists
>there were no repercussions
>mfw

Forgot my picture.

Blaming it on the Mafia has no repercussions, yea

And they wanted me to fire good and caring daddy's to replace with vaginas as some sort of penance.

>order me to hire 50% women
>there aren't even enough women for hire to fill all the spots

The 50% women one is basically impossible unless you've been going for it the entire game. Just ignore it. Some other ones, like the 'fire all old cops' one, are bloody impossible too.

>get the order to fire all old cops
>this bitch nigga Mayor wants me to fire based Stovall
Yea nah, fuck you Rogers

I've been firing the old guys anyway. Better they get an early retirement than get gunned down by some random asshole.

So far the only order I've ignored was the "fire all blacks" one, because I'd have to fire them without a legal reason which I didn't want to do.

Of course, I'm not that far into the game yet.

>put Kochi, Tsubaki and Asano in a team as often as possible
>tfw all these criminals getting their shit kicked in by a gang of asian bitches

>2D
>2016
no thank you

You can mess up the paperwork of dead cops to keep getting their salary
It's fucked up
Don't do that

I paid a bunch of money to make one of my detectives an informant. nothing has happened so far. do I just wait? pretty fucked that you don't choose who you want your snitch to infiltrate

Persy is the game's true hero.

The fbi keeps arresting me. Why? I'm not helping the mafia.

Your detective is an informant or a snitch?
You just Gotta train him to be te best he can be

informant I think, the one you get as an option through your deputy. sorry I mixed it up when writing it out

Did you conceal evidence from them on a case?

you answered your own question m8
I have no idea, but it sounded cool

I thought informants were usually people found to be part of a gang?

I'm playing completely clean. I follow city instructions so for example I suppressed the demonstration with swat.
The screen doesn't say why I go to jail.

SNITCHES GET STICHES

I thought that was a snitch.. man I dunno. it costs 3200 dollars, you activate it through your deputy, you pick one person from your staff

The reviews of this triggered me hard.

"Why can't this game developed in Belarus and set in the 80s promote MY political views and reflect current events in America?"

I always find it weird how all your cops appear to be murderers who kill their own
I mean
They're the ones killing your snitches right? It's why I have no snitches

Informants are gang members who give you info I think
Snitches tell you what the police station thinks of you, who might be planning to turn on you etc
I would try not have detective become snitch, I never have snitches because they wind up dead

That's a snitch.

Snitches are cops who rat on their collegues, informants are criminals who rat on their bosses.

It's pretty heavily implied that literally everyone on the force is at least a little corrupt.

Yea, but I wouldn't think any of your cops, Least of all all of them, would kill one of their own

ahh shit. I guess it makes sense, I'm tired as fuck I misunderstood. man I put a freshly hired detective on it, I'm sure the boys are gonna trust him with tons of valuable information lol, poor guy...

If you can reverse it, do. I recommend never having snitches as it just kills off cops and makes you feel bad. Plus, a detective is needed

Could be it's just one of them who does it every time.

The screenshot thing that says they were found dead says it was "three inventively cruel" males
It'd probably say this if you had an all female force too so I dunno then

...

Why not Purdy?

I'm not sure she's actually a woman.
