Incline Papers, Please

[MicoSelva]

Somehow this game has not entered my awareness until today. Looks really neat, from what I can tell without playing. But tell me bros, great concept and potential replayability aside, does it get boring after a few hours, like so many other gimmicky games do?

It only lasts a few hours, so not really.

It only lasts a few hours, so not really.

Unless you play in infinite mode

The campaign mode has low replayability, though, since the interesting events are heavily scripted. Still a great game, mind you.

It's fun, humorous, has choice and consequenes, one of the most memorable video game characters in quite a while (Jorji, a.k.a the "Cobrastan is not a real country" guy) and PERFECTLY delivers on its intended goal; to simulate life in a Soviet Communist State.

Management of family needs and funds strongly implies capitalism. In "Sovier Communist State" you get fixed wage and free medicine.
I think game's intended goals is to simulate life of bureaucrat in ANY state. Not "perfectly", but close enough.

Finished it. Managed to reach 4 of 20 endings. Good game, but the replay value is somewhat hindered by (admittedly intentional) repetitive gameplay.

Apple required Papers, Please to censor its nudity - Considers its full body scanning to be "pornographic content."


Immigration drama Papers, Please is coming to iPad today, but not without one minor change: there's no nudity.

The original version of Papers, Please's full body scanning was rather unsettling, but intentionally so. The people didn't want to be scanned and you didn't want to scan them. But mother Arstotzka demands it, so what can you do?

The original game required players to occasionally scan travelers to ensure that they weren't hiding any weapons. But Apple found the clothing-removing scanners - a thing that actually exists and is frequently used in airports - to violate its guidelines as the company considers it "pornographic content."

"The iPad version has no full nudity option for the search scanner photos. Apple rejected that build for containing 'pornographic content,' developer Lucas Pope tweeted.

Thankfully, it wasn't too much effort for Pope to get around this as the original game had a "no nudity" option. "The original game has a no-nudity option so it's not a considerable clash," Pope stated.

"Losing nudity isn't too severe imo," he added. "The game has other content I expected to cause trouble that didn't, so there's some relief."

Pope then confirmed that the newly submitted sans-nudity version of Papers, Please was accepted. "I confirmed with the reviewer that it would likely pass without the nudity. Removed it, resubmitted, and it was accepted today."

Papers, Please on iPad will cost $7.99 (about £5), but will be on sale for $5.99 (about £4) over the weekend.

So fucking stupid.

Interesting, so it would seem that someone at Apple actually fapped to Papers, Please. That would... actually explain a thing or two.

Glory to Arstotzka! The best country is about to get the best movie.
