Killer7

what the actual fuck was that

The children know who is pure!

It was an unreliable narrator concept actually being done well.

The best game ever made.

This is what a REAL story driven game looks like, TLOU fags.

can someone give me the quick unironic rundown on the story? I beat the game but couldn't comprehend any of it

Politics done in a game without insulting your intelligence or shoveling one specific agenda down your throat.

We're talking guys who beat off four times a day.

It's been a while since I played it.
All I remember was Emir was an assassin being brought up by one of Harman's Avatars (school principal) but he actually had the power to kill him. At the same time there was another Harman (wheelchair man) who was the leader of the Killer7. Emir finds him the Killer7 and murders them all but also absorbs them meaning part of their Psyche lives on within him. All of the ghost people you see are actually people's spirits living from inside of you.

This is where everything I know becomes a little shakey.
At some point Emir gets hired and does jobs for Killer7 (since technically they are all living in him). Harman seems to be the leader of everyone at this point but this is probably because Emir always saw Harman as someone to look up to and take orders from. Anyway Emir takes on a new appearance and name as Garcian Smith and takes all of Killer7's jobs from Harman Smith.

At this point there may or may not be more than one Harman. The one absorbed by Emir and the real god Harman playing games with his rival Kun Lan.

Heaven Smile, a disease created by Kun Lan turns people into Heaven Smile monsters designed only to explode and destroy. I fucking forget what their purpose is other than creating terrorism and fear. Either way Kun Lan and Harman are playing the game just to best each other. Kun Lan prefers manipulating politicians and those with power while Harman does things more violently.

You can look up supergreatfriend on youtube, he recently did a walkthrough of killer 7 and his supplement videos where he just talks about other info related to the game, a bunch of them were the stuff from the hand in killer 7 book. Alternatively I'm pretty sure he tried to summarize the story after he finished one of the playthroughs.
He's also a good youtuber because he puts out series that he knows more or less everything about the game and trying to show the stuff off, his Deadly premonition series is great

One of the reasons I like Deus Ex so much as well.

...

Heaven Smiles existed to commit terrorism because the world was at complete peace.
This peace came at a price, as the internet got shutdown and air travel was completely restricted. By introducing peace people's freedoms were the price, the Heaven Smiles existed to counteract this.

At the end Garcian remember his existence as Emir and commits suicide. This enables him to be reborn as Emir who continues killing Heaven Smiles for a few years. Eventually the last Heaven Smile (Kun Lan disguised as Iwazaru) is killed. The world is back at "peace" except now everybody fucking hates each other again, the US and Japan in particular.
You're then given the choice by the current Japanese PM (who was one of Kun Lan's puppets) to either let the US nuke Japan back to the stone ages or let Japan keep doing the shady business they are doing.
Ultimately either choice doesn't matter since Harman and Kun Lan are still playing the same games hundreds of years later. I guess they represent two different political identities and how they'll never actually come to any conclusion, they'll just keep fighting against each other for eternity.

>rail shooter on a console with no light gun

It's shit.

this. It's a game all about its story and style but it doesn't hinder its gameplay. The gameplay actually helps the story (every personality has a gimmick, also the duel against the Handsome). One of those games I'd call art.

Idk, I bought it for $5 in like 2012 because Sup Forums said it was good then never played it so I sold it to some neckbeard

Rank the Killer7
Garcian>Coyote>Dan>Mask>Con>Kaede>Kevin
Also you have to play the Silver Case if you liked Killer7

Dan > Mask > Garcian > Tommy Gun Harman > Kaede > Con > Sniper Harman > Kevin

sgf put too much work in to get so little views. He spoils us so much.

Kaede > Garcian > Coyote > Mask > Dan > Con > Kevin

Dan>Garcian>Mask>KAEDE>Coyote>Con>Kevin

Also, OP, follow this guys advice.

The Silver Case -> Flower, Sun, and Rain -> The Silver Case 25th Ward (when it comes out next year). TSC is a fucking masterpiece in storytelling, and the localization only happened because the planets aligned.

This. I'm also hyped to see 25th Ward. Hope FSR gets a remake as well

I'm glad we got it at all, even if the DS port is ass. Here's hoping Spike Chunsoft brings over the Syndrome games too.
