>There are people on /v/ who've never beaten La Mulana
What's your excuse ?
Fuck off, you beat it with a guide.
>>285719497
i have never played it. /v/ is comparing it to motherufcking SoN and super metroid, but i have yet to hear any actual opinions why the game is supposed to be that great.
>There are people on /v/ who've never beaten Deus Ex
What's your excuse?
>>285719497
>>285719765
I am actually working on both of these
>>285719497
Not interested in playing it
>>285719765
Backlog too long to add it
>>285719745
The autism level required to beat this game without a guide is too high for me.
>>285719497
YES
FUCK YES
I
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym2jSsvtQcE
I DON'T KNOW WHY
SUDDENLY I WANTED TO HEAR THIS SONG AGAIN AND NOW I CAN'T FUCKIGN STOP LISTENITNG TO OH
OH FUCK IT'S SO GOOD
OOOH YES
FCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YES MY EARS ARE SO GOOOD
also about the game, you can fuck it with a rake. I'm still super salty about all of it.
All of it.
Fuck hell -- fuck getting to hell -- fuck that room you have to redo three times -- fuck the giant fists -- fuck it all
Fuck all of it.
There was this one room with a weapon and you had to a puzzle right to get it. Every other room in the game so far would reset if you did a puzzle incorrectly but this room didn't. That just pissed me off and I uninstalled the game right then.
>>285720225
I don't remember anything like that. What are you talking about?
There's things way more bullshit than that.
>>285719765
YOU GET ENOUGH FUCKING DEUS EX THREADS IN /V/ YOU COCK MUNCHING FAGGOT GET OUT
16.99 is too much for a meme game
I'd buy it and beat it if it went on sale for at least 75% off though, preferably more
I like it but some puzzles seem to be borderline nonsense just for the sake of it. Currently exploring the chamber of birth.
Also, some guys rightfully said it's more similar to myst then a metroidvania.
>>285719745
yeah no shit, what are you trying to imply? that you can beat it without ever consulting a gude? The closest I've ever even heard about was some guy only consulting it three times total (twice at the very, very end) and he spent an unREAL number of hours. Like over 100 or some stupid fucking amount.
>>285719745
>needing a guide
there is a clue for pretty much everything. git gud
>>285720361
It's the room with the chain whip.
Because the puzzles were too hard. I spent about 8 hours on the game and most of that was wandering backwards and forwards trying to figure out what the fuck to do.
Shame, if the puzzles were a tiny bit more obvious I'd have probably carried on.
>>285719497
Man fuck you, I've been trying to play the game without a guide. Proper progression isn't just murky, it's goddamn opaque. My notepad looks like a crazy person is writing in it.
>>285720361
I think he means either of the whip upgrades. If you fuck those up, you have to reload. It even tells you in a tablet that you've only got 1 shot at it though. Neither of them are necessary for beating the game, though.
>>285720561
Who are you to tell people how they have to enjoy their games ?
>>285720561
>le git gud meme
Nice rebuttal faggot, see you in autism therapy.
>>285720490
>meme game
eat shit
>>285720674
OH FUCK YOU'RE RIGHT I FUCKING FORGOT ABOUT THAT
OOOOH GOD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
you can reset that though eventually but it's best to just reload a save before you fuck up that trap.
I almost finished it but just couldn't bother anymore when I got sort of stuck.
>>285720529
>>285720130
That's not 'beating' it, then. Come back when you've erased your memory of the game, and then beat it without a guide.
>>285720859
>almost finished
Fifty bucks says you only got halfway.
I liked the graphical style, but the controls were too clunky and the puzzles were too obtuse
Metroidvania clones suck shit. Every single one of them.
>>285720886
How bout I instead play those 110 games I've never even touched?
I got better things to do than wander aimlessly around a fuck huge world wondering what to do and punching myself in the dick because I'm hopelessly lost.
Looks like shit.
Won't play that.
>>285721082
I'm just saying, don't come on your high horse saying other people haven't beaten the game when you haven't properly done it yourself.
>>285719497
I didn't want to use a guide.
>>285720490
Everything that's seen a modicum of success is a meme game as far as you faggots are concerned.
>>285719497
'cause I refuse to use a wiki/walkthrough
what are you?
casul?
Tried to play without a guide, got stuck, put it down for a bit and haven't gone back since.
I did beat the first two bosses I think.
>>285721237
I'm not the OP though.
>>285721415
>63/64
lol
Fuck this game. I gave it 10 hours and everything I could muster to not look up a guide. Impenetrable garbage.
>>285720490
I got this meme game for $1 and it's one of the best purchase I've had
>>285721415
let me guess
That bullshit about scanning all the shit in the game? Fuck that achievement.
In fact fuck a lot of them .
FUCK THE WHOLE GAME.
>>285721372
The only true meme game ever is MGS Revengance.
>>285721708
>That bullshit about scanning all the shit in the game? Fuck that achievement.
Nailed it. Clearing hell temple in hard mode was easier and less tedious than that shit.
I hope you all paid for the sequel.
my game crashed while beating the final boss
fuck this game
>>285719765
There was a bomb
>>285721749
How is Meme Run not a memegame?
After I oblitareted Bahamut I just dropped it. The game was solid, but I didn't enjoy the way learning how the temple works is layered out. Some puzzles seemed like bullshit.
Great soundtrack. Amazing graphics in the remaster.
>>285721850
nah that whole kickstarter ended before I even started la mulana
Hot shit damn.
>>285721869
aaaahhahahaha
Did you at least ultimately beat it?
>>285719497
i have beaten la mulana?
>>285719765
it's an FPS and those are boring as fuck, even your PC RPG darling
>>285721904
Because it doesn't count if it's being done intentionally, plus nobody talked about it or disscussed it other than for the "lol meme game" factor.
>>285719497
I don't like playing it on PC.
If there was an handled version for 3DS or Vita I would gladly play it
>>285721996
>>285719765
Not having beaten both
Shiggy my diggy doo
>>285719497
Its on my backlog, just haven't gotten to it yet.
>>285719765
It's shit.
Not as good as a shooter as other FPS, not as good at stealth as Thief and not as good at being RPG like real cRPG.
>>285720938
The three main bosses I didn't kill are Palenque, Tiamat and Mother. Got frustrated with chamber of extinction.
Might be halfway, I wouldn't know.
>>285719497
OP I only play games that _I_ think are good
I don't play games that other idiots think are good
If I listened to other peoples terrible opinions, I would start with mass effect or cawadoody
I got to that bullshit lion miniboss and gave up.
>>285722239
Vita version was just realeased man.
i beat jad in runescape, fuck la mulana
I just don't like obtuse puzzles. Sorry
>>285722617
Whaaaat, time to check then.
Thanks.
>>285722617
>Vita
>>285722454
Mass effect 2 is pretty good though
But call of duty is shit
What's the issue with the puzzles? Are there not enough clues for how to solve them? Or do they just not make sense logically? Been thinking about getting this for the vita.
>>285719497
I stopped because it ultimately is a "guide game", like many older games of the era it was mimicking.
It was satisfying to beat things on my own, but it became so cryptic later into the game, that the fun was sucked out. I want to go back to it eventually, but I also know that I'll have to look into guides again or be lost as to what to do at that point.
>>285719765
Eh, it just wasn't that great by the time I got to it. I respect what it did for gaming, much in the same way Metroid for the NES did, but I also accept both those games are pretty dated.
I'm still a faggot for not being able to get into DESU EX: High Resolution, though.
Because as much as I loved that game, it takes too much patience(read: autism)to make progress after the first half of the game. Using a guide sucks the fun out of it.
Didn't care for it. Had no idea where to go and it just made me want to play Spelunky.
>>285721969
yeah i did beat it afterwards :^)
>>285724297
:D
I was looking at the game's steam hub earlier today and saw a screenshot of the final boss with a window prompt claiming the game had crashed.
I guess it's a common issue ;-;
>>285719497
I bet you never played much less ascended in Nethack, ADOM, DCSS or Angband, you pretender.
>>285724594
The only good game in that list is nethack
and they're all bananas
endless corridor calendar puzzle specifically
fuck that
Revealing the final ankh glitched out on me and didn't trigger, making it impossible to proceed. Not playing 90% of the game again for the last 10%, fuck that. Didn't expect an actual excuse, did you?
>>285723161
There are clues but the map is gigantic and many of the puzzles have clues no where near them and sometimes it's not obvious where you have to go next. Like am I stuck on this puzzle because I haven't figured it out, or am I missing a key item? Sometimes just finding the puzzles is a huge challenge.
I'd say the game is worth getting, because the first half of the game, while still difficult, is easy enough to solve everything on your own.
PRESS DOWN ON THIS VASE AND YOU ENTER IT LIKE A MARIO PIPE
WHAT THE FUCK
WHAT THE
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>too proud to use a guide
>not gud enough to beat it without one
Should I just swallow my pride and look up what to do?
>>285726271
Depends on how far you are/how many bosses you killed.
Maybe once or twice tops before halfway but anything over half read as much as you want.
>>285724831
You sure convinced me. Now I feel like eating a banana.
>>285719497
Working on it, OP. Beating it without a guide on hard mode, the chamber of birth took a fucking eternity to figure out. Currently about 80 hours in.
Looked up some things when I got stuck on my first run and decided to restart and play it through with some help from guides. Still have my first savefile though, with +40h playtime, hardmode accidentally activated and no holy grail.
Will try 2 without guides but if I get completely stuck which will probably happen, I won't hesitate.
>>285727686
>no holy grail
I beat it, but I used a guide for some parts so I've got no right to look down on people who haven't finished it yet.
I'd say it was a 50/50 mix when using a guide of me going "Oh. That's dumb." and "Aw, I probably could have figured that out if I had tried harder."
>>285727686
>no holy grail
I hope you've learned your lesson, anon: Always read the instruction manual.
>>285722617
yeah but that would require owning the most pointless platform of the generation
>>285724974
is that the one with the doors ? im stuck in that fucker right now , all i got is the numbers mulbruk gave me , what im i missing guys ?
>>285729750
Do you know what those numbers look likeIn La Mulanese?
>>285719497
spamming the action button on every square inch of screenspace just to appease the autist gods that i beat a shitty uninspiring game is not exactly my cup of tea.
>>285729842
no, any hints ? i assume is in a tablet somewhere
im too stupid for it
>>285730032
Oh hello there
>>285729842
>>285730032
oh shiet i think i got it
the fucking translator
>>285719497
yeah there is no reason to try play a game that needs a guide to complete
example viy door has no hints where it appears
you might as well watch the game being played if you have to use a guide
>>285730616
nevermind , i thought that by turning off the translator software i was going to be able to see the numbers in la mulana moonrunes
Though what some misunderstand is that many of the almost nonsensical things in la-mulana were nonsensical as intended exactly because the devs wanted to recreate the kind of games they played back then.
So sometimes it's just bullshit on purpose.
>>285731076
but you do
>>285719497
>the controls are shit
>the design is confusing
>I'm really not that interested in it
I do like the sense of exploration, though

What are you talking about?
I'm not sure my shittop can run it.
Is it okay to pirate something to see if it runs and then buy it?
Anybody try out the vita version yet?
>>285737609
The game isn't demanding at all
A game that pretty much requires you to play with a guide in one hand is automatically shit in my book.
>>285738418
>the game that requires you to use your brain automatically is shit
I don't like the retro-nostalgia style
>>285738418
Good thing that it doesn't require that, then.
>>285719497
Beat it three times, with one being the original with a guide.
Definitely my favorite game of all time.
>>285719765
I always lose interest when you have to get the vaccine for an illuminati guy. I just can't bring myself to go lethal against those soldiers and I get my ass kicked.
>>285719497
Because i'm not autist enough to figure out all those fucking puzzles. It's literally artificial difficulty.
>>285719497
I'm playing it right now
>>285738550
>>285738618
Yeah, that's why pretty much everyone finished it without a guide right?
>>285719497
I managed to defeat 4 of the bosses without any assistance besides the online manual, but I couldn't get any further because I simply couldn't get the grenades.
>>285733892
Doing well so far. Lightining working, map designing full speed. They outsourced the emnu design, so they could go straight to dungeon making.
They are working pretty well, anon.
>>285730837

FUCK THIS NIGGER RIGHT HERE!!!

I downloaded the spec checker or something and it said "Your computer might be able to run la mulana

>>285720529
>an unREAL number of hours. Like over 100
you sound like acasual
>going again for the 100%
there really isn't any major changes on la-mulana ex. As far as i can tell, what changed is the following
>signposts on the surface
>first puzzle of the gate of illusion now breaks the floor instead of just opening the path
>in room with the red skeletons, the wall to the left is just broken so you can jump easily to the treasure
>minor graphic fixes that help with puzzles (top of the sky disk, the place where you must put the maternity statue and the dragon bone on the chamber of birth)
>new masks (borders)
>>285737404
See pic. Also, there's a lot of things added that will help the player like for example, the endless pit at chamber of birth area have altars now which makes it obvious that you need to put something on it.
>>285739448
When you defeat Viy, a door to the tower of the goddesses appears in a cave in the waterfall section of the surface.
>>285740154Kinda wish they made that puzzle back to the original where you had to go up.
This game is shit to learn but fun to replay
I think they'd need to implements a full fledged map and being able to write notes on each screens for a start
>>285740363
while i can see why most people would complain about that, i never had a problem with it because the way i defeat the bosses on my first playthrough, after i defeated bahamut i went straight there.
still, i am pretty sure there is a tablet that tells you about it.
>>285719497
Didnt know ching chang chong had a game
>>285737962
I bought it.
That's just a port and it looks pretty well on the vita screen. My only complaint is the price.
Also slight changes as described here
>>285740154
Mulbruk is a qt
>>285740328
Any other hints they give in that version? I'd laugh my ass off if the Mario pot is somehow made clear
>>285740883
what's it like not being funny
you're either just terribly cringy irl or not trying
>>285741654
Nope, that pot is the same.
But i took some screenshots of what's different, will upload them in a bit.
>>285741654The Mario pot was already clear in the original, I had more trouble finding where Annunaki refused to gaze
>>285720692
IT ONLY TELLS YOU IN A RETARDED VAUGE WAY THAT AS FAR AS ANYONE COULD TELL, COULD BE APPLIED TO SOME COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LOCATION
>>285719497
I'm in the process of beating it right now anon.I did have to look up a guide for theTake a kneepart though, but otherwise I'm trying for a guideless run by copypasting every single tablet and NPC utterance into a notepad and looking at it later.
>>285742013
It doesn't matter. The axe is completely useable for the entire game. Cleave that asshole apart.
>>285742013
it pops an achievement telling you.
>>285719497
Didn't want to keep trying over and over the golem boss. Pretty meh game overall, did a lot to make me not want to bother once I saw the gimick.
>>285741939
The original original or original version of the remake? I tought the pot wasn't in the original game, but I have seen some footage of that place with an arrow pointing down next to the por so I don't know anymore, but that arrow is definetly not in the remake
>>285741939
People who never bothered to scan murals n shit will definitely have a hard time figuring that out.
>>285742304
what gimmick?
>>285720692
But you can? Gate of Time after defeating a certain boss?
>>285719497
>What's your excuse ?
Screw you OP
I beat it, I fucking beat it
I'm never going back, you can't make me, I start shaking just thinking about touching that game again.
>>285742013
But that's how everything is told to you in La Mulana.
>>285739592
Turn left, quickly turn right, hit the fucker and repeat the whole thing really fast while constantly going left.
You can kill him pretty fast that way if you do it properly, but it's a little tricky.
Speaking of vague hints.
Turn left, swing your weapon
Turn right swing your weapon
Somethign about children
Where the FUCK does that even make sense?
>>285742252
http://lamulana-remake.wikia.com/wiki/Steam_Achievements
Where?
>>285740328
I'm glad that they made the hot-spring a bit more presentable. The little text that pops up and tells you that it cures rheumatism also makes sense now.
here is a crude mash up of all the new masks
i also forgot the part where you can undo (only once though?) the hard mode by talking tothe fairy queen
>>285743015
>A One Time Challenge
right there
>>285743309
>no half-naked Mulburk option
gay, I'll stick with the chibi one then
Anything else that the Vita version has? I'm pretty fucking mad since it's basically an improved La-Mulana with the bestiary and bonus shit, while the PC doesn't even get a patch with the new content.
>>285743309
We're not talking about the same one time challenge
I'm talking about the Iron whip in the Lava Place
>>285719497
It's one of many I got on the steam winter sale. I'm playing it and about a dozen other things and have't FINISHED any of them yet, but am progressing
>swear to never seek help from the interwebs
>time to fight palenque
>he just fucking flew away
>his summon stone gone from where i got it
I seriously thought it was a bug thus making me search the net about it, but apparently, making the plane fly is also a puzzle.
>>285742603
>>285742603
Everything else you have second chances on
If you dont get the meaning of that one before you reach the room, you're fucked
Even more stupid is how the room that hint is in seems to have something up with it, since there's random blocks everywhere.
Plus you have to beat that piece of shit miniboss asshole to even access it, how the fuck are you supposed to guess the game is cock block, what most would consider the reward for beating that ass.
the screenshots really don't do justice to how great the game looks on the vita
>>285743613
i didn't take screenshots for a few things, but it's usually just small details. Even though i was against it when i started it, i think this will always be the definitive version for me.
The bestiary is great, maybe will take some screenshots of that after i get the platinum.
>>285743783
well, you got two tries on that one and that whip is not even that good.
>>285744134
>well, you got two tries on that one
And still you have no idea it doesn't reset, plus it's a tricky fuckin jump
Also you only get two tries if you activate the left one first
>and that whip is not even that good.
Doesn't excuse the bullshit. If anything it makes the bullshit even more pointless
>>285744134
>that wall in Gate of Guidance is breakable now
They really made it for pussies. You had to time your jump properly on that little floor-trap puzzle in order to fall down that shaft and get the hidden treasure. Now it's basically ez modo.
>>285743309
Can you use/add custom masks on the vita?
>>285743010
You need to see all the hints as one big hint sometimes. Write them all down fagass.
>>285744672
You can lock yourself out of things, it doesn't lock you out of progress. The game tells you that is going to be obtuse and hard on purpose,
And you don't need to jump, you walk off the platform when it rises high enough.
>>285744715
not really, you just had to mash the jump button when going to the opposite screen and you could control your jump easily.
>>285744819
nope.
Because from my understanding the game difficulty stems from obtuse and unintuitive puzzle design. I want my puzzles to be difficult but cleverly designed, not frustrating with nonsensical solutions.
>>285743010
i can't remember where exactly, but there is a tablet where it says that the dance of life is three people with swords to the left, three people with swords to the right and one last one jumping. It's really not that hard.
>>285745228
ITT: mega fucking casuls
>>285743956
I'm not even sure how you messed it up. I figured that I only had one try, but I only needed one try considering that your options are
A) Make the jump
B) Get crushed in the ceiling, and have to reload (which would reset it)
Either way, it's not a necessary item and you could have always reloaded to your earlier save.
I think you might just be BAD at VIDEO GAMES
>>285719497
I beat the final boss, but fuck hell temple. I got so close to finishing it but somehow fucked up. Never again
>>285745228
Would you say that myst has difficult puzzles then?
>>285719497
>What's your excuse ?
What the fuck is La Mulana?
>>285745571
A little late with that bait, snowflake.
>>285745257
Yeah it's not, I would probably understand what that means...at some point, just the fact the tablet says left/right is quite a big hint
>>285744715
I reached that treasure by timing my fall, touching the bat, and pray i get knocbacked to it. Seeing that new hole makes me mad since it took me but half an hour to pull it off.
>>285745339
I still dont understand how you figured out it was one shot only
Either way, fuck the asshole who guards it.
So, what do you guys want to see in La Mulana 2? For me it's mostly more of the same plus some lewd costumes for Lumisa.
>>285746457
More mulbruk hijinks
>>285746457
More of this
>>285746457
More of the same would be just fine for me, but some more combat and Castlevania-esque platforming with pits that kill you would be nice
>>285746736
and maybe some of this
>>285719497
Shit is cryptic as all fuck
>>285719753
I'm not that big a fan of SotN or SM to be honest.
I think that the real strength of La-Mulana is that it so effectively provides a challenge to the mind and the body, in that the gameplay requires reasonable dexterity but the puzzles and riddles truly require a clever approach. On top of all that, it's got it all. Great visuals, a catchy soundtrack, plenty of collectables, and tight gameplay. It's just a really solid platformer with tons of exploration and puzzle-solving, and it's a legitimate challenge, even if the end-of-game stuff gets really ridiculous.
>>285747009
>with pits that kill you would be nice
What, like.. instantly? Don't tempt those fuckers, or they'll use that stuff to torment us in Hell Temple 2.0.
>>285746173
It just kinda clicked. The function of the three switches in the whip room seemed kinda obvious, and the message about messing up just once was fresh in my head.
I can understand why you would be upset that you got locked out of an upgrade. I know for the Jewel whip, I reloaded several times, although if I had messed up once and then saved the game I would have been kinda pissed. Either way though, understand that not having the whip upgrade is kind of a minor roadbump in the overall game, if it's honestly the reason you quit I'd recommend trying it again. Those irreversible things are really only present for the two whip upgrades (and hard mode).

It isn't an old-school game without some classic instant death pits
>>285719497
I can't figure out that jewel puzzle. The puzzle doesn't reset, so you only have one chance to beat it. Unless you reload a previous save. So after about 20 tries, I just stopped playing and haven't come back.
>>285746457
Forgot to add, a new slapping game sequel. New mc vs mulbruk as final boss.
>>285747403
>I can't figure out that jewel puzzle.
Because they put in some extra trickeryYou yourself have a weight
>>285747009
>>285747342
Nah, fuck that. That's one thing I hate about old-school platformers; a huge disparity between "punishment for fucking up in combat" and "punishment for fucking up in platforming." I really like how La Mulana does away with 90% of insta-death stuff, but things like spikes and eyes of judgement still do enough damage that you really want to avoid them.

I really have to jerk off and you're NOT helping.
never beat spelunky either. can't find any fucks to give really. give me
>>285747832
It helps that that's all I have, but seriously if you haven't already jerked off to the first pic, then you're not horny enough
>>285747403
You don't need to solve that puzzle to beat the game
>>285726271
Ask for hints.
A lot of the time you just need to be pointed in the right direction as to where to go next.
>>285747916
I have a roommate behind me, that's a no go. Otherwise I would have relieved that stress to some mulTiamat
>take wrong medicine
>go to fobos
>quest doesn't reset
>stuck
FUCK
THIS
SHIT
Also the whole mantra BS was tedious as fuck
>>285747325
I'm not the guy who quit because of it, I was just ranting about it
I actually just beat the miniboss again and then saved before repeatedly messing up the jump before realizing I didn't have to jumpI did quit at Viy though
>>285748094
>Tiamat
I've been saving the wrong pics
>>285747539
>That spoiler
You think I haven't thought of that? I've been doing the math, but can't work out the numbers.
The game had already thrown some other bullshit at me. So having to completely stop the game in order to figure out a math equation is the last straw. I'm not even mad at the game. I'm just exhausted from constantly being stumped by obtuse puzzles. The reward isn't worth the effort.
>>285747930
I know. I just refuse to continue without completing that puzzle. It's completely bullshit that that puzzle doesn't reset. Really pains my autism that the game can't be 100% if you make one miscalculation.
>>285746457
unlockable characters that somehow differ from each other
i spent about 20 hours trying to figure it out on my own then i saw the achievement for beating the game in 40 hours and basically said fuck it. you have to really apply yourself to beat the game and i just don't have the kind of time, i plan to revisit it with a guide.
>>285719497
B-but I did.
>>285748287
Wait, so you know all the weights? You know how much each gem weighs and how much Lemeza weighs, and you can't solve it?
>>285748695
>that moment when you notice that it's justrough gemson one side andsmooth gemson the other
>>285748894
So Lemeza is a smooth gem, huh? Deep.
>>285748695
No need to be smug. What do you stand to gain by making fun of me?
>>285748986no? doesn't he go on the right side, the side of the rough gems?
I got about half way through before losing faith in Nigoro's ability to create engaging puzzles.
>>285749131
So Lemeza is a rough gem, huh? Deep.
If I wanted to play a platformer with awkward jump controls I would rather play Castlevania X
>>285749039
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be mean about it.
It's just... pull out a calculator. Fuck, throw the numbers together randomly until you wind up with an even split. It's just that the tricky, obtuse part of that puzzle is the "learn and use your own weight" part, not the "do a bit of math" part.
What's the halfway point?
>>285750069
just completing the game?
i would say after 5 guardians
for 100%, i would have to say 6 guardians.
>>285749569
I know what all the gem's weights are. But not Lemeza's. So I kind of estimated his weight up to a round number. And well... I can't remember exactly how the numbers came out, because it's been like 6 months since I touched the game. But basically, I just don't have the energy to figure it out after so many tries. It's asking for too much, and I lost the patience.
I already spent most of my patience getting lost by other "puzzles". The word "puzzles" being used in the loosest sense.
>>285750412
did you even weight him?
>>285750505
Not that I can recall.
>>285750412
>>285750412
Oh, is that it? You were going about it the wrong way. I thought you had all the weights you needed, but Lemeza does in fact have an EXACT weight that can be found in-game. I thought you had found that weight and couldn't solve it, but it seems like you were just using an incorrect estimate.
If you're really burnt on it then fine, but I would recommend giving it another visit. One of my favorite Metroidvania's hands down. And that particular puzzle is 100% optional if you wanted to try something else.
let's talk about the mausoleum of giants. How do they know that they are giants? do they even have some kind of weighing-machine in there or what ahahaha.
>>285750680
there is your problem.
>Chamber of Birth
>>285750069
Half-way through the Chamber of Birth. You think you're getting close to the end but all of the mantra and wedge bullshit, Dimension Corridor and other stuff extend the game a lot.
>>285750948
Oh ok. That explains things. Well, still, fuck it. That exhausts me even more, just thinking how many times I made my rounds through the ruins, and haven't found a way to weigh the professor.
>>285751038
Oh I see now. Fuck this game. That's more than I can take. Now I'm crossing over into anger. Fuck that thing, fuck that game.
>>285741654
The pot was obvious, there's a giant literally pointing at it, even without the tablet hint, you can figure it out.The thing is I went into it the first time I passed in front of it, and I thought every pot could have a secret like this, for half the game I kept trying
its meant to be really hard so i cant be arsed
>>285719497
I've had it for a while now but I have like 700+ games in my backlog and I haven't gotten to Lamalama yet.
>>285751156
>running 3rd floor Endless Corridor in under 14 seconds
That was real pain.
Back when it was big on /v/ people used to ss their inventory and someone would give relatively vague advice on how to continue and I that a few times until I realized I was getting stuck 2 seconds after getting a hint and only managed to continue with another hint so I stopped playing because fuck beating the game that way.
Stupid question, but how were you supposed to find the wedges anyway ?
>>285753991
Once you beatViy in Inferno Cavern, the two-headed statue in Temple of the Sun breaks open, revealing a Talisman and a room full of tablets, which tell you where the wedges are.Then when you awaken all four philosophers you can go get the Mantras to activate those Wedges.
>>285753991
it's a complex thing, but do you know that star-kind thing on several places? You got to use that area and the area of where the boss is to calculate the area where to chant the words.
>>285754334
oh so that's what those were for.
I just spammed the spell in every room until I found every one of them, it took quite a while.
>>285722148
>Because it doesn't count if it's being done intentionally
That's retarded
>>285753479
Uwotm8, it only takes 5 seconds to reach it
>>285720772
>>285720713
>>285723812
>>285720130
nice meme
I honestly beat all the bosses but mother. After the bullshit the game pulls off on you in order to finally reveal true mother shrine was too much; I forgot about the game and simply ended watching a video of the final boss.
The game was amazing until then. It dropped so hard for me right there. The wedges section, specifically.
>>285719497
I want to get into it but I really don't like the clunky feel of the character.
>>285719497
I got stuck after I reached the Tower of Ruin, and no matter how many guides I read I couldn't figure out how to progress.
>>285756624
you get used to it after a while.
>>285756624
what's clunky about it?
a lot of people complain about the movement, is it because of the falling of platforms doesn't let you control your character?
>>285754763
For the achievement you have to run it in 14 seconds the non-shortcut way.
I haven't beaten it because I'm a retard who can't into puzzles. I've been stuck trying to get bombs for something that I think I need them for. I've also done shit all backwards I guess, so whenever I tried to watch a guide, they would be way farther back than me, but have items I don't have or some shit, and I really don't feel like watching a whole playthrough to know what I need to do.
What I have played so far is fun, though. I picked the game up a while back on steam because it was $1.25 or something like that. I hadn't ever heard of the game before, so I looked at it and thought it looked fun.
>>285757392
if you want help, just tell me what guardians have you defeated and maybe a screenshot of your inventory.
>>285757392
If you want to get grenades you need to get to the right-side of Graveyard of Giants, which requires getting intoTower of the Goddess, turning on the power, getting the Eye of Truth then taking the path into GotG.After that you just have to beat a mini-boss to get the grenades to unlock access to the right side of the graveyard.
>La Mulana 2 comes out
>no guides
>just you, me, /v/, and the world working together
>>285757713
The wise men and the fools will make themselves known. IT will be glorious.
Why is La Mulana so popular? It's just some typical pixel indie stuff with super cryptic stuff that is no fun at all?
>>285757959
It's a game that requires exploration and mastery of 2D platforming mechanics to beat,specially if you want to beat the 9th area which is all bullshit.
It's like a real Indiana Jones game where you collect information scattered throughout the ruins, put the bits of info in the right order, and use it to advance through the different regions and beat bosses.
It's definitely not for everyone but for what it is, it's really good.
>>285757713
Yeah!
I'm actually looking forward to it because Iused a guide for some parts of La Mulana 1, so I want a chance to do it legit.
>>285758172
I guess I can see the appeal. Definitely not for me. I prefer the "I need to brush up my skills" difficulty over something where I get stuck all the time.
>>285758342
It's a game that really appeals to the Castlevania fans since it's mostly a collectathon game. Even if you do end up using a guide the game is still a ton of fun.My favorite part is the music.
>>285719765
I've beaten it
>>285719497
I got to eden(?), shit looked fucked, I was hype since I spent 4 months (on and off) before that trying to figure out how to get to eden. Not sure what I missed, I forgot, I posted on /v/ a while ago and someone pointed me in the right direction.
Then I died, realized I didn't save for a long time and was put off. Didn't play for a while, then my hard-drive died and I don't feel like playing the whole game again.
>>285757530
I think I've beaten the first 4 bosses. Also, judging from >>285757694 I still have a bit of a ways to go before I can get bombs.
I haven't beat La-Mulana because I refuse to use a guide under any circumstances. And I'm at the Chamber of Birth, but I'm fucking stumped. And I've poured like 60 hours into the game already. I've taken notes of every single tablet I've seen. I've tried everything possible. Can't figure out worth a shit of what to do.
La-Mulana is still one of my favorite games, though. I fucking love it to death, and every now and then, I'll try to figure something new. Sometimes I actually do. Once I returned to the game after a several month absence and figured out the damn tower earth spear puzzle to unlock the lower portion and fight Viy. Like, minutes after I started it back up. Sometimes you just need some inspiration and a break, I guess.
>>285758990
you made quite the progress, you should definitly go to the tower next.
pro-tip: it might not like it, but the girders are ladders.
>>285759273
have you been to all of the places yet?
what have you done on the chamber of birth?
>>285757713
>LM2 tops the tower of the goddess scaffolding, chamber of birth and opening the hell temple bullshit tenfold
>nobody can finish the game for the first two weeks
>some Jap opens the game up to search for clues in the code
>after four hours he comes across a jpeg hardcoded in some bullshit C++ programming
>it's Naramura's butt
Hyped.
