A Rocky playthrough?
I have literally just finished watching Floydsons 300 day Punch Club playthrough, and it's quite clear, even as someone who's never seen any of the Rocky movies, that the game is heavy on the Rocky...sorry, I mean Stoney references. So I decided that when I buy the game, it could be fun to make a Stoney-inspired playthrough.

However, those videos have shown me that there are choices in the game, by which you are unable to complete parts of the game, like you can go the good or evil route, basically.

So what I wanted to know is, which choices would I need to make to get the most Stoney experience?

obviosly the good route since Mick is basicly Stoneys couch, you can win both leagues and after that decide if you want to go to russia or prison its the only real choice in the game

I've been playing the game a lot and don't feel its' trying to be 'Rocky' at all,

I get the reference and over-all design but to anybody interested in the game the game does not come across as making you feel like 'Rocky' at all,

I love this game because of it's 'Neutrality' it doesn't make you try to 'be' or 'feel' anything, other than the awesomeness of the general 90s vibe that was one of the most priceless and magical times in all of Humanities history,

It might be easier to explain if people understood -Rocky- itself was an 'archtype' movie,

the movie tried to distil (in cinematic ways) the process of a guy becoming a 'man', and overcoming challenges and overcoming himself,

and in the process 'getting the girl' etc.

It's not that the game is 'imitating' rocky, it's that Rocky imitates the process all guys are supposed to go through and that's a universal thing that has nothing to do with movies or actors,

The game is imitating Universal Principles something which Rocky did as well,

not the other way around.

It could just as easy be said, "The game is trying to imitate Bloodsport" lol,

see how it works?


(it's not that the game is imitating Bloodsport, it's that Bloodsport is imitating a Hero's Journey etc.. )
