So do always win a coin toss or lose?

So do always win a coin toss or lose?

Does the game arbitrarily let me win/lose when the story calls for it or what?

How different of a person is a transferred consciousness anyway?

This is what ~100 IQ looks like.

there was never a coin toss, it was said just to make the copy who could go further feel better

The you that's asking this question stays behind 100% of the time, there is no coin toss. For some reason pseudobigbrains made this game a gojirrion more times more complex than it needed to be when the game itself makes it clear the coin toss was moral bullshit.

Actually, the consciousness before going to the paradise place probably made it there, it's the human consciousness that you left behind in the locker room that is still in there... being dead if I remember correctly.

Even though I know its bait, the possibility that someone might be this genuinely fucking retarded still irritates me

idk man, you get to pick if you kill yourself or not
it's always a copy, and paste, not cut and paste.
It's like people don't understand the idea of the game.

But why couldn't it be copy paste, the ark is right there, your brain is robotic, I can understand moving human brain to robot is copy and paste only, but it would be silly not being able to move robotic AI over

If the current you is never pasted, only copied- then why does the game continue in the POV of the copy?

Simon prime, 2 and 3 get fucked, while 4 gets to galavant with his dyke friend in the simulation.

Even modern computers and systems today don’t literally move data. It always copies it.

why would you want the game to end before it even starts?

I don't know how it works, but if that's the case then it makes it a lot less stupid, I rewatched the scene now and you're actually already a robot in the locker room

The coin toss only exists for the player's perspective, not in the actual story.

My only complaint with the story is the nature of the structure gel and how it works. It seems almost like fucking magic in how it can basically do the impossible.

I get it is set like 100 years from now, but I wish it worked on some basis that we understand.

Well 100 years before electricity was invented, we'd think it's magic.

I can imagine 100 years ago that electricity would have similar principles as fire which was thousands of years ago.

If they just said “fuckin nanomachines, Simon” I’d buy that.

The coin toss is so stupid, it could only be have been written in the game to fool the main character to not give up.

They say "Structure gel is a highly proteinated, cross-linked lubricant, and a conductor, and a signal medium, with aligned graphene in a petroleum monosubstrate, polysaturated matrix, containing fuel oils"

Is that good enough?

My gripe is now that they actually have a coin toss for the player several times.

That sounds like someone drank synthetic car oil chased with a work out powder and shit it out

I don't remember the specifics, but the coin toss for the player is there only to futher the plot. I mean it would fucking suck to be stuck in one place while your copy gets to proceed.

Would’ve been kino tho- you’d have to compete with the new Simons and could end with a battle on top of the rail gun

wouldn't you have just been original simon struggling with his trauma and not any of the copies a century later?

The prologue with Simon prime is a memory/flashback.

I mean, if you say so.

It could be interpret it that way is what I’m saying

There is no cointoss.

You were always Simon 3 and the first few hours of the game that you experience are just Simon 1 and 2's memories that were copied into you, the duplication process is perfect so from your perspective you have the illusion of a contiguous existence since Simon 1 was born, but Simon 3 never lived that stuff himself

They gradually become different people with divergent experiences, Farscape explores this idea really well.

>then why does the game continue in the POV of the copy?
The POV was always the copy's, if you were copied perfectly, from your perspective it would seem like your existence was just continuing seamlessly.

We only ever see a different POV when we are shown Simon 4's fate/reward.

>We only ever see a different POV when we are shown Simon 4's fate/reward.

This is the one part that feels like a cheat

It's mostly there so the player can have some kind of emotional catharsis.

I would have liked it if we never saw Simon 4's perspective personally but Catherine brought up a camera feed showing the Ark's environment for Simon 3 to explore briefly before losing signal as it drifts out into space.

There is no coin toss. Every time you are transferred "you" actually stay there and the gameplay perspective goes with the new body, until the last "transfer" when the game's perspective stays with you.

The main character was led on and believed it due to being retarded, fortunately every copy of him was retarded also.
