It gets way worse when you have to check 5 papers for 1 person! It gets annoying to play after a while.
Benjamin Stewart
Are you the same poster that's on the papers please subreddit?

welcome to dictatorship, comrade

Funny joke. I just thought the same question happening within a day of each other on two different sites was an interesting coincidence.

it's part of the social commentary

That's fucking retarded. Why wouldn't a dictatorship want you to follow the rules?
Jacob Reed
Have you not heard of communism?
Connor Ross
>take thousand dollar bribe from terrorist organisation >neighbours notice today you have an impossible amount of money you hadn't had yesterday >report you >you get arrested for cooperating with a terrorist organisation what the fuck is so hard to understand? not to mention there is literally a check box that says "click to burn the money you've received". are you retarded?
Thomas Hughes
GLORY TO ARSTOTZKA
Levi Hill
You literally said you took bribes. You broke rules. Don't be a dumbass Also, >life in a communist country sucks ass Color me fucking surprised
Anthony Perry
they want you to follow the rules but they also don't want you to be successful
Kevin Bennett
so basically EVERYTHING you do the game will end up punishing you anyway because HURR DURR COMMUNISM?
nice fucking shit game. wish i could refund this garbage. deleted local content and hidden. fuck this trash. something i really cannot fucking stand in any form are pseudo moral lessons and political shite forced into videogames.
Luis Thompson
It gives you the option to refuse bribes..
The game is good. Stop being a screeching autist.
Xavier Reyes
>taking bribes I bet you let Kolechians in too.
Adrian Bailey
i didnt take fucking bribes, the old man the one with the passport he wrote himself in the end managed to get all the documents and as by the fucking rules i let him pass and he gave me a token. i couldnt throw it away or discard it or refuse it. i didnt take a fucking bribe, i let him pass only when he had all the documents in order. fuck off retard.
Jonathan Bailey
i'm glad you don't play RoR, FTL or DOTE
Eli Collins
>and that i cannot refuse or throw away Wrong. Nice shitpost, I give it a 2/10. I appreciate it when fans try to spark conversations about good games though, shame we have to do it this way on Sup Forums though.
Isaiah Fisher
The whole fucking point of the game is that autocratic regimes aren't infallible and the more bureaucratic something becomes it grows exponentially more inept and incompetent and that people's lives get fucked up by said institutions It's supposed to give you a little insight into how so many could be killed under such regimes. No one cares about you, the guard is just looking out for himself and his own, he's just following orders, nothing is really anyone's responsibility Goddamn you are a dense motherfucker Also, Jorji is my nigga
William Evans
>literally advertised as a communism simulator with moral lessons >somehow didn't pick up on any of this between seeing the game, purchasing the game, and whining about the game on Sup Forums Those are some pretty big words for a child of your age.
Dylan Gomez
no it doesnt fucking give me any choice. when the fucking guard comes to tell you to detain people for extra money i dont get any option to turn him down or report him. and the game only gives me the option to detain when its something really bad they are trying to do (smuggling or forged documents).
i dont fucking detain people who didnt do anything.
Jason Morales
>He doesn't know about the flee the country endings >He doesn't know about the side with the rebel endings literally too dumb to live what the communists would call a useful idiot
Wyatt Ward
no, you can escape (to another communist dictatorship country) or stay in your lane and get commended by the Party (but you're still stuck in your shitty border guard job) or help the resistance to overthrow the Party (but it's meet the new boss, same as the old boss)
there aren't any "happy" endings, but escaping is generally seen as "winning"
Oliver Hall
Why so much patrician taste, user?
Cameron Clark
You had a fucking choice to get rid of the bribe. I know for a fact that you could burn the money because unlike you I actually played the damn game. Fuck off you cunt
Mason Perez
love this game. you're a good guy for bringing it up, regardless
Evan Torres
i couldnt refuse the fucking token i tried to throw it out the fucking booth back at him and it didnt want to go out. the fuck am i fucking supposed to mother fucking do you stupid piece of dog shite?
David Cruz
the token doesn't get you arrested, it's an achievement item that has no impact on the rest of the story. the only time you get a gigantic bribe is from the ezic star, a terrorist organisation. any time you get smaller bribes like 5 or 10 dollars nothing happens. are you retarded?
Daniel Brown
Who /Cobrastan/ here?
Camden James
burn the money? what the shit fuck are you talking about?
Chase Baker
fuck away off, Jorji
Justin Roberts
You should have detained him for breaking the law multiple times assfuck
Landon Clark
>when he finally gets all the proper paperwork
WHAT DO YOU DO
Robert Diaz
Why are people humoring this retard again? This is relatively easy to get my man, please stop trying to enjoy anything beyond COD
Jacob Sanders
>he bought a communist regime paperwork sim built around moral choices >shocked when it's exactly what it was advertised as you're saying a lot more about yourself than you are the game
Adrian Ortiz
Learn to play, kiddo. You can refuse the 1k bribe.
You're probably illegal.
Juan Jackson
i didnt let any of the EZIC retards pass. i didnt take any fucking money apart from 5 and then 10 credits from the guard for the people i detained (which all fucking deserved it because oif contraband or forged documents)
what fucking bribe did i fucking take?
Anthony Russell
>Not having arrested him
Lucas James
I know the others but what's RoR?
John Gray
We're talking about the $1000 bribe you took from EZIC.
Not the token.
Idiot.
Dominic Morales
how can i refuse a fucking bribe i didnt even relize i got? all i fucking did in this stupid game is check documents and follow the written rules they give me every single goddamn time. who even gave me the 1k bribe?
Wyatt Mitchell
More like Pile of Shitistan Get out of here, Jorji
Ian Nguyen
the 1k bribe that you mentioned in your original post. are you retarded? did you play the game or just watch a youtuber play it and decide to make a bait thread about it?
Samuel Collins
let him in
he's got the proper paperwork and he's not carrying contraband, ain't my job to stop people not doing anything wrong
Luke Ramirez
>built arond moral choices
>moral shit in videogames
get brain cancer retarded autist.
Adrian Perry
The "You have been reported by your neighbours for being too rich" trigger only happens if you take the $1000 bribe from EZIC.
You could make a million dollars from processing people super fast and you'll never get reported.
Ethan Torres
>a bribe i didn't even realise i got are you fucking blind? it shows you in plain text "a package was left for you. click to burn it" just admit you didn't play the game
Ethan Bell
The 1k is NOT from the token that you get. If you actually bothered to read you'd know that the 1k is from ezic, the terrorist organization.
Juan Cox
i played the fucking game for the last 2 days moron. all the fucking EZIC retard did was come in give me stupid little pieces of paper and then fuck off and i coudldnt call the guards or detain or report him. i didnt let any of his men pass.
now tell me moron, what fucking bribe did i even get? he didnt give me any fucking money.
Jace Roberts
sorry the Highlights spot-the-differences game was too complex for you, user
Juan Martinez
Ok, ok You no like passport, I understand. I come back again with better one.
Elijah Collins
>and he's not carrying contraband That's what YOU think.
Benjamin Nelson
>"HURR DURR IM THE INSPECTOR AND IM PUTTING YOU IN JAIL AND END THE GAME BECAUSE YOU TOOK BRIBES DURRR"
Sounds like you weren't following the rules if you took bribes.
David Hill
He still comes back when you detain him
William Stewart
...
Thomas Miller
you get a $1000 bribe after work on Day 11, then a $2000 bribe after work on Day 12 if you burned the first one.
accepting either will lead to your neighbors noticing and reporting you
James Morgan
PRE-APPROVED STAMP HERE
Leo Jones
You dense twat
Ayden Hughes
the 1 thousand dollar bribe that you mentioned in your original post you fucking moron >>why did i get a bribe i couldn't refuse and have the game end? >you could refuse the bribe retard >>wtf? i didn't get any bribe lmao
Jonathan Carter
>Telling the investigator you had EVER seen or heard anything about the secret society
Are you fucking retarded?
Cameron Bell
what im saying is that i didnt even fucking notice i got any kind of bribe. all the EZIC guy did was come in, drop off papers, and fuck off. as i said i couldnt detain him nor call the guards. then the inspector fuck comes with a piece of paper with the EZIC symbol on it, i tried to give him the papers the EZIC guy gave me but the game didnt fucking let me.
what the actual fuck am i supposed to do?
how do you even 'burn' a bribe?
Jack Lee
at the end of the day it shows you your cost of living, your daily paycheck, your food and heating, etc. when you get the 1k bribe it shows up as a separate section of revenue, and the game gives you the option to get rid of the money
Isaac Barnes
it happens AFTER WORK. You receive a package and are given the option to accept it or burn it. I think it accepts automatically so you need to uncheck the selection.
There are two ways it can go if you accept it: you either get arrested and the game ends, or you let in an EZIC operative and you're cleared of charges and you continue the EZIC plotline
Dominic Hughes
>Bestburg Never noticed that before. That's some funny shit.
Bentley Parker
what the fuck, the game didn't tell me I had to fight a three phase boss after I get to sector 8 I followed the rules completely and it just fucked me over with that how am I supposed to know I have to fight a mothership? what is wrong with this shit game? so fucking retarded, I wasted like 3 hours of my life for nothing. the fuck?
Tyler Green
I meant ">not having him arrested" rather
Aiden Rivera
Do you just click through the end of day screens as fast as possible so you don't read any of the shit it tells you? When you finish the day on the select days that the Ezic give you a bribe, on the black screen it effectively says "Someone has dropped off some money", and then gives you a check box to either accept, or burn it.
If you read the fucking shit it puts on screen, you wouldn't be in the position you're in. Blame your own incompetence, not the game.

Risk if rain. Very good game, really fun co-op but the netcode and framework around multi are kinda bad. Doesn't stop it being fun though.
Carson Thompson
You must be really dense if you didn't see the political commentary the moment you read the title in dystopia font.
Honestly user, I need to make sure that you're aware of how stupid you sound throwing a tantrum like this.
Hudson Garcia
Whats your guys record for endless endurance? Mine is 85 for the hardest mode. I wanna give it another go, see how long I can go, but it doesn't save your progress if you want to take a break and I don't want to play for a solid 3 hours.
Austin Allen
Confirmed for the same retard. How many other forums have your sharted your retardation on?
Brayden Edwards
>or you let in an EZIC operative and you're cleared of charges and you continue the EZIC plotline
how do i tell who is an EZIC agent? the EZIC guy in the hood gave me a piece of paper with a bunch of letters and numbers on it and another piece of paper with holes.
i tried to use them together but they dont align correctly
Ian Reyes
that's a decoder to tell you the agents' names I think. getting it to line up can be a little tricky as far as I remember
Luke Ramirez
>how do i tell who is an ezic agent hahaha holy shit
Hunter Morgan
Did you read his papers? That nonsense postcard, when combined with the key, spells out the names of his agents. They generally have all their documents in order, and detaining them usually gets you a warning because they did nothing wrong, but if you let them in then it means you helped Ezic. You have to reject their passports.
Noah Sanchez
how stupid can someone be
Josiah Kelly
Literally the menu after the end of the level, it tells you you can "uncheck" the 1000 Dollars, in other words, burn it.
If you do that, he comes back and gives you 2000 the next day.
Logan Jackson
The papers don't align correctly unless you match up the cut out boxes of the key to the colored in squares on the top of the other paper. There are two boxes, and each alignment spells out different names.
Joseph Edwards
cobrastan is not a real country
Julian Wilson
Unlike the other anons I'm going to defend you. The idea of communism not being able to work aside. What sort of realistic justification is there in being punished for following the rules?
Stalin killed millions of people, but obviously most of there were people who showing even the slightest resentment towards the regime.
Why would you get punished for being the biggest regime cocksucker? It makes no sense.
Jack Rivera
Sometimes you can do everything right and still lose, user.
Matthew Robinson
if you'd bothered to read the rest of the thread, you'd learn that OP is in fact an idiot and unknowingly broke the rules
and in the 10 million people Stalin slaughtered, odds are far greater that most of them were ordinary, law-abiding comrades. The whole point of the game is that there's no winning in a dictatorship.
Benjamin Hughes
Obviously, this.
The game isn't even that hard, bullshit included.
Austin Sanders
>No winning in a dictatorship It's called appeasing your leader.
Jason Rivera
It's a "simulation" of what happen in those kind of countries like North Korea or URSS era europe.
You can follow the rules to the letter and you will maybe get a slighly better house at some point. Or you can cheat the system and risk the life of your family.
The game has around 15 possible endings depending on your choices.
Jace Hughes
Stalin also arbitrarily killed loyal party members sometimes just because. Just being loyal and following the "rules" wasn't a guarantee especially when the rules change based on the opinion of those in power.
Gabriel Jones
>Stalin killed millions of people, but obviously most of there were people who showing even the slightest resentment towards the regime You clearly know nothing about history at all.
Justin Sanders
even that isn't a guarantee because more often than not a dictatorship will devolve into bureaucracy and witch hunting. Even if the leader is fine with your existence, someone else below him but higher than you on the food chain might not be. Or your neighbor might report you as a Jew/capitalist/dirty Kolechian and you get arrested and sent to the gulag anyway
Liam Brooks
Maybe if the game had an artstyle like Ace Attorney I would actually play it, but otherwise I don't see a point.
Matthew Brown
At one point Stalin had some presentation, and everybody applauded. And they kept applauding. For 15 minutes straight. Everybody was scared of stopping and being sent to the gulag.
At some point, some higher officer stopped and sat down and everybody else did the same.
The officer was executed the day after. North Korea is the same kind of regime still today.
Zachary Rodriguez
>spending money you arent supposed to have >expects not to get caught
Gavin Ortiz
What the fuck did you expect?
Jose Williams
Not OP, but how the hell did your neighbors know about the $1000 bribe? Hiding it in your home and only using a tiny bit at a time would work I think, why burn it?
Ayden Rodriguez
It implies that nothing can be kept secret from those in power. They find out somehow that you get a secret cache of money that wasn't given to you through legitimate work. They ignore all the money you make from your job and the extra you get from the guard if you detain people later on.
