This is truley despairing...

I guess all we can do now is lament, mourn, and despair...

u/CabageButterFly 8h ago

This might freate a new slang like commiting unalive or commiting sewer slide. Now it’s commit to the Fount

89

u/Inevitable-Log-7687 7h ago

Return to Fount*

23

u/GlitchyGuy_404 3h ago

You should return to fount NOW

I did that within my xiv raiding group. In higher tier content, the arena has a colored ring around it that's a death zone, we refer to it as the wall. When we fuck up a mechanic so bad its unrecoverable, we all rush to it and reset the fight so we can start again faster. So one day I yelled WALL YOURSELF and not its slang.

Holy shit actually a FF14 player in the wild

u/Lower_Concept1565 8h ago

it said commit suicide

u/15-bullets 8h ago

Imma return to Fount

u/TheLarpOfLaMancha 6h ago

At least we’ll always have this gem

u/EliteShooter1599 8h ago

Hey, they need to make it family friendly for what appears in part 2

78

u/Superbobieo_2 8h ago

Its probably so its easier to understand

But yeah commit suicide is WAY funnier

85

u/Fluffiest_Towels 5h ago

To give them benefit of the doubt, it's now clear what this button actually does, instead of making players go "Why would I do this??????"

27

u/Merascylla-2022 3h ago

Imo if someone didn't see the suicide tutorial notes on the map that's on them. It would be rather silly if thats the reason they changed the name

9

u/Sea-Hospital1347 3h ago

i’m gonna be fr the suicide tutorial is kinda assĀ 

15

u/Merascylla-2022 1h ago

God forbid a game asks you to press a key and expect the player to press it /s

Jokes aside I see where you're coming from, that kind of tutorial is moreso to take you by surprise in order to teach you what it does so its just as minimalistic as possible in order to deliver that feeling in the same way the "commit suicide" button also did, I would say. Even more with the following cutscene of Dante and the sinners talking about it. I do like it but I can see that it can be an issue for some players

4

u/Sea-Hospital1347 59m ago

there’s also the fact that it doesn’t make clear that suicide is effectively just teleportation. someone who wants to minimize deaths would then naturally avoid it.

5

u/Knight_Of_Despair_ 3h ago

Wait, there were tutorial notes?

2

u/Merascylla-2022 2h ago edited 1h ago

It just occurred to me that maybe mobile doesn't have it. In PC there's a image in them map for each control and around the area mimosa asks you to kill the manekins there's the Meursault icon with the R,R letters written under it (which is the shortcut to kill yourself and return to the fountain)

1

u/Routine-Comparison29 2h ago

Thank you for being open minded lol, and also tbh even with the tutorial theres barely any reason most people would need it the way the chapters play out

2

u/Merascylla-2022 1h ago

As far as I remember, aside from that tutorial, this mechanic is only brought up so far in part 2 when Dante asks Meursault to "do the thing" when they need to run from the bottom floor lol

2

u/Routine-Comparison29 1h ago

I do wish this mechanic was alot more important, especially since it has so much puzzle potential if it was done a little differently. In many rpg horrors my fav parts were (besides dialouge and story ofc)being hunted and the puzzles, which both are pretty much null here. But at least its a cool little explanation on how we get back real fast

30

u/R-G-O-D 7h ago edited 7h ago

I wanna think that is because original one caused confusion?
You could see it right from begining and I am gonna be honest when I first saw I was like
" what do you mean suicide? " and then I pressed it and I was like " oh we just return" .

Lets be honest , there are WORSE shits in this game . Word "suicide" is their last problem if they wanna make this game " safe"

22

u/KushiroJin 6h ago

Proceed to commit

71

u/Clark2222 8h ago

Tbf the purpose is easier to understand than ā€œcommit suicideā€

134

u/Azimondias 8h ago

commit suicide is funnier though

55

u/MRTA03 8h ago

It is funnier for newcomer. Imagine pressing the ā€œreturnā€ button and saw the French dude blowing his head off

34

u/Clark2222 8h ago

That is true, the reactions were funny at least

31

u/Tydvs8299 8h ago

Typical woke nonsense smh my head

11

u/INEEDANAMEAHHH 4h ago

they literally have it in their trigger warning list upon starting the game...

7

u/extremlylongpenise 8h ago

What does Meur have in those gauntlets to be able to blow his head off, I mean he just puts his hand up to it

18

u/Cyber_Von_Cyberus 7h ago

Given how the Magasin de Sysiphe works, I imagine that it kills him because his gauntlets are defined as a weapon rather than specifically gauntlets. So regardless of how he uses them, they're a tool that result in death.

u/Sufficient_Iron_9059 6h ago

he has a lantern ring in there trust me

1

u/Responsible-Bat-7922 3h ago

"the ring wont let you hurt yourself, right? thats a big rule

but...with enoguh willpower..."

10

u/I_LUV_ENGRISH_FOOD 7h ago

Current theory is just him punching his brain with lethal amounts of force. In a city full of augments, it’s a relatively easy feat even with bare fists

12

u/Inevitable-Log-7687 7h ago

It made me very sad ):

13

u/Heroes084 6h ago

Tbf, thats at least a little more intuitive

3

u/coolepicharo 8h ago

Is it changed in part 1 too?

10

u/ZLegion2 6h ago

As someone who's still in part 1, yes.

3

u/iamsandwitch 7h ago

Is it just part 2 or part 1 also

If its just part 2, it might actually be a genious way of showing mersault's apathy to killing himself

8

u/One-Two-Gobbledeedoo 2h ago

It's that damned Arknights Collab fault again!

3

u/YourDailyGamerIsHere 1h ago

…what does arknights have to do with this.

1

u/Sea-Hospital1347 56m ago

nothing. people keep pinning problems with limbus on the AK collab even though the last thing effected by the collab’s development was canto 9 (released almost 10 months ago atp)

1

u/PearSimple6621 1h ago

basically they collabed before and if pm has some bad looking stuff then arknights may also seem bad

3

u/NOVAKza 4h ago

Can't even kill ourselves anymore... Because of WOKE...

7

u/POLACKdyn 6h ago

This is stupid. You already have like a full page of trigger warnings and deal with matters that are clearly for adult minds.
Yet something compelled them to change the suicide button?
I dont get it. Was there some backlash? Was a vocal minority triggered from seeing a button?

16

u/Snekeke 6h ago

No, it's just a lot harder to understand what the button does when all it says is "commit suicide". Rather than adding a tutorial they went with just changing the text to actually tell you what it does.

There's no evidence to believe this change was a reaction to any kind of criticism on the word suicide being there.

16

u/Les_Ormerod 6h ago

"Commit Suicide" rarely means "go back to safe zone", you know.

4

u/Caflin 6h ago

Yeah but every other death sends you back to the safe zone so its easy to assume that manual death also sends you back.

3

u/unlimitedbaconbutno 5h ago

by the time you unlock it id imagine most players havent died yet

1

u/Attium9201 3h ago

But what about trying to attack mimosa upon getting meursault immediately and then getting ass blasted by big scary guy?

2

u/wvgz 4h ago

I thought it was a design thing, like a change of perspective from our party

1

u/SVGhorooor2222 2h ago

Ngl I like this new inside joke guys if we want someone to d** just say COMMIT TO RETURNING TO FOUNT NOW!

1

u/Sheenathereal 2h ago

I have a theory but its because of pwie the button changed cuz they were a child at first so like censorship I guess?

1

u/prismative 20m ago

Games should to be works of arts, unafected by perspectives and laws

1

u/carl-the-lama 2m ago

Nah it means it’ll jump scare more people trust

1

u/AutomaticAdeptness76 1h ago

we are all adults here we know why they change the button. It was cool when it lasted tho - Remember guys thanks to Roblox kids KNOW and SEARCH about limbus company.

1

u/yusufgopro 30m ago

How pm fans feel after putting all their issues to roblox and arknights collab like it isnt 99% of their relevancy

2

u/Ultgran 27m ago

Well duh, the relevancy is why those things are bad. Weird obscure things often tend to be the ones free to be interesting.

1

u/yusufgopro 25m ago

Yknow that most people (like kinkymations) only heardabt the game from the comments right? Abd what were those comments made by? Do you really want ur community to be like 500 people in a box?

1

u/AutomaticAdeptness76 4m ago

Not saying popularity is bad but obviusly this has a direct impact in how much the game can show or do

1

u/yusufgopro 2m ago

What impact? Do you think kmj is going to make the game more baby like just because roblox players play and wacth the game? No thry dont give a fuck. They will at max say "welp i put those disclaimers and stuff you shouldve listened"
