So, like, I don't even get the point of this game. If it's supposed to be some cheesy, low-budget indie game with a bog-standard plot and QTE's because Wu couldn't afford to program in actual game play then... uh, mission accomplished? Like, it's not the single worst game I've ever seen, but it's not exactly a shining example of good design.
I don't see how it's "more accessible" to women, as if women can't play video games unless they're specifically made for them.
As a female, I find it offensive they think games need to be made specifically for me because I can't handle playing with the big boys. I don't see the relation between one's reproductive organs and game accessibility.

Alright question time. Was is aunt some sort of curse word in this future? Why did crimson make robot sounds getting up when their movements never caused noise before? Why did Holiday tell the snow leopards where to find her? If it was to use them as a trap why did she kill them? What is with that red spider thing that's been around in all the crimson scenes? Why does the Chinese fleet have one ship and weird fighters that swarm its main gun? Why did it only fire once? Why did the shot of tranquilizes fix her broken leg enough to allow acrobatics? I know the answer is incompetence, over sight and buy my book but I needed to ask anyway.

All this thread is missing is some really horrible fanart that while bad, is not as bad as the game itself. You could draw a image of Holiday takin a nasty dump and it woulden't be as bad. But it would still be bad.
I guess because she is now in a state of disrepair after being stabbed in the chest, even though it is wildly inconsistent what actually kills Geishabots (so far shooting them for 5 minute battles has worked, so I guess the force of will that is a corrupt Chessboard Shard gives her PlotArmor)
I have NO damn idea. Snow Leopard and the Chinese Government taking over the orbital platform are a convenient excuse for Chessboard to go self-aware but that's the only reason they are in the game, to give the girls an excuse to go there. This game could, technically, take place anywhere on earth for any reason at all, since being in space doesn't matter and is never utilized.
I'm pretty certain those spiders are the Nanobots / Nanites that are also inside Holiday, Val, and Minuete - but since Giant SpaceKat Games couldn't figure out how to represent that they are as big as apples when not in the body?
According to one of the loading screen that Chinese ship is super powerful and can destroy anything on earth or in space in a single shot of it's unbelievably powerful cannon - information I'm sure would have added more gravitas to their dangerous mission had the player known about it.
I guess all those spiders that live inside their bodies healed her and the spacejenkem just gave her a Military Grade Combat High until they fixed her bones? I don't even know man.
Gameplay: What follows is personal preference, and others may enjoy how the ending plays out. For me it didn't work - in my mind, since this game is "cineamatic" in all aspects, from being touted as "movie length" to stealing from movies wholesale to selling the cutscenes as film-like, the ending should NOT pause for your choice selection. See, I don't even know if it's possible to buff both Rogue AND Professional, or to successfully woo Amelia AND Minuete. I doubt you can though even with the wonky way the point system works, but maybe you can game the whole thing? Still, I doubt it.
The entire ending should just play out, with a final dialog showing what actions (Rogue, Amelia, Killed Valentine) got you that ending. Here's Brianna Wu herself answering a question on a gaming website:
Story: And it all comes to an end. Because I'm a Retardo and didn't care/honestly failed at nearly everything I didn't have the skillz to shoot the vial of magicjuice out of Minuete's hands. This had a wonderful and most excellent result:
Enjoy watching me fail the final cutscene. Failing means I punched Minuete in the head, kicked her throat, and that killed her. Except it didn't because I used magic to bring her back to life. Yay. Crimson 09 takes over the ship and escapes, Minuete is taken zombie-hostage, and the Chinese don't do anything.
Remember the Chinese? The apparently State-Sanctioned terrorists who ATTACKED AND TOOK OVER A U.S. ORBITAL WEAPONS PLATFORM? Well now it's going to be an international incident because a bunch of Geishabots (Geisha are Japanese) touch down in Slantville and do some unknown shenanigans in the next game.
Also there's a really cringy song called "Player 2 Press Start" that I guess she licensed for the credits. I can't wait for Youtube to flag my video over this.
Quotes:
Minuete: I can't hear Unknown any more. Holiday really did kill her. But that's okay... you'll be connected with the hive soon.
Minuete: It's treason to threaten a superior officer, Holiday. Holiday: One of my best friends tried to dissuade me from my mission, and I killed her. I don't even LIKE you, Min, try me.
Holiday: You should be a hell of a lot more afraid of me then you are right now.
Minuete: Right now? 50 kilotons of nanological weapons are aimed at Gungzhou. Holiday: Damn it, Min! Minuete: Amelia will give me the codes to the core or millions of people will die!
Crimson 09: Whenever I feel depressed, I just remind myself: If life were easy, there wouldn't be so many dead people.
Holiday: I'll have a hell of a lot to answer for after today. I'm still not sure if our mission was authorized by Centre, or if Crimson 09 was behind it. If Chessboard fires me? I'll thank them for it.
Credit Song: You're my power suit. (My power suit) / Cute like Pikachu. (Girl, I choose you) / You are bomb like Hudson / Jet Set like Beat / You can Chu Chu Rocket rock it like / Nobody else I've seen.
