i keep looking at this pic wondering what game it is can i get some help here /v/
Transistor by Supergiant games.

GOTY 2014
Is it bad that I stopped playing Transistor right before the final boss?I stopped right by the Royce TV telling me that he's right in the next room
>>324096717
Basically everyone here unironically loves it so threads about it probably will take some time to devolve into shitposting.
Red is a qt.
>>324096717
Half the reason to play Transistor is in the music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGTkAVsrfg8
This song's apparently exclusive to the Apple TV version though
I've only played a little bit of it so far but the voice coming from the sword is very relaxing.
More attached to him than the protagonist at this point.
I suppose that's to be expected given that she can't talk however. Maybe my opinion will change later. Losing moves when you die is novel though, actually makes you care about fucking up
yea we need a transistor thread
Any word on Supergiant's new game?
Feels like Transistor's been out for a while.
>>324098469
yes, you are a huge bitch
I found trans-sister harder to get myself to finish than bastion
But was still pretty satisfied with the ending. I just wish the combat had more weight to it
>>324098621
I just can't like her because I had this shitty server admin le gurl gaymer that used to roleplay as her.
I fucking hate that, because Bastion was great.
>>324098921
I hope they keep logan cunningham as a central figure
it'd be awesome if that were running theme throughout all their games
also Jen Zee a cutie pie
>>324098754
Great soundtrack. Loved that the devs picked up on how great Bastion's music was so they went ahead and made the protagonist a singer.
Daren korb looks like such a miserable faggot hipster,
How can he possible write such good soundtracks?
>>324099284
Grow up.
>>324099284
you ever hear interviews with him? he's just an extra chill random dude
that's a shitty pic of him though, with that sweater
dude usually looks like a stereotypical musician
but more importantly: do you have your signed, physical copy of both game OSTs, /v/?
>>324099019
I really liked Transistor, but thought some elements of the story were a bit too obtuse when compared to Bastion.
I get that ambiguity's sort of the point, but the manner in which they go out of their way to not explain what the Transistor's purpose was grated on me at times.
>>324099284
He really doesn't look bad. At least he doesn't have a streak of hot pink in his hair.
>>324099121
They can tell whatever story they want, as long as they use the same fantastic voices to tell it.
>>324099081
wait roleplay as red? so she just...didn't say anything? How could you tell what she was doing...?
>>324099284
>Muttonchops
why
literally no girls find them attractive
>>324099621
She didn't do anything but use the name.
And then she became admin because you know
Fuck I hate forum websites.
>>324099284
The man's comfortable in woolen sweaters and I can respect that.
>>324099703
>gettin tasty bitches because you play rockin music
>have whatever hairstyle you want
if you use getting girls as a metric for your hairstyle then you're a bitch ass nigga
Reminder that everything goes wrong because of lesbian homolust
More vidya needs lesbian homolust imo
>>324099284
He pulls it off.
What separates an asshole hipster and a regular dude is how they carry themself.
He's a nice guy that just likes dressing like that. It's not like he has a blue undercut and a handlebar mustache.
>>324099975
>I want to jerk off to girls kissing, please compromise the story of your game so I can do that. Going on porn sites is hard
I liked Red a lot more than I usually like silent protagonists.
Thought it was really clever when she started communicating with her boyfriend through the comment sections of random computers.
>>324100175
>figure it out after a lil while
>replay game
>blow away how much emotion I missed
another cool feature I managed to miss on BOTH playthroughs is when you return to the stage, all the cluckers are lined up where the audience would be
if you hum in front of the mic, I guess all the cluckers sing along with you
>>324099121
logan cunningham is a goddamn master of narration
>>324099346
Hey Darren
>>324100175
That's the difference between her and a lot of unvoiced protags. A little writing or some form of character interaction can go a long way in making them feel human and not just a lifeless husk lie Gordon Freebot.
>>324100760
What's up man?
Grow up.
Love, Darren
>>324096717
Its a really good game, and the music is comfy and her humming is even comfier.

Anon there are no lesbian make out sessions in Transistor
Lesbian homolust is still the catalyst for the entire story though
Come on son
>>324101016
Any word on the new game?
Red dies at the end
So what was the state of the world at the end of the game?Did Red give up on helping anyone else in the city in favor of remaining with her lover, or was she just the last survivor anywhere? Are the people in the Transistor the only ones left, or was that just left ambiguous?
Is red a better qt silent character than quiet?
>>324101158
Snape dies.
>>324101243
Too son bro
>>324101221
Yeah.But Link is cuter than both of them
>>324101221
Red has the added benefit of being classy as hell.
>>324101189Red can't save anyone. Even if she remade the city it would be empty because the people cannot be remade with the Transistor. So she opts to join everyone else instead of existing in an empty city. I think; I'm not sure if there is a difference between getting salvaged by the Transistor like all other people or directly dying from it like The Boxer and Red.
>>324101290
I have no idea what you could possibly be implying m8
>>324101582
I think if you were absorbed by the transistor, you ended up inside, which is how red got her powers
the rest of the city were all processed by the process
it's still a bit ambiguous as to what happens though, maybe once the process processed everything then the system restarts and reboots everyone, which is how you get New Game+ where it all repeats
>>324101582First people Red meets up with after reuniting with her lover are Sybil and the Camerata.
Mildly awkward.So why did the Camerata want talented people like Red to be absorbed by the Transistor anyway? I think they were using it as a tool to reclaim some kind of status quo for the constantly changing city, but I'm not sure why they needed people like Red to do that.
>>324102034
>New Game+
Is it like Bastion, where they make comments about how the Restoration ending leads to everything happening again?
>>324102320
not that I noticed, unfortunately
>>324096464
Transistor
A game everyone played for the OST
>>324103208
It was also a very pretty game.
>>324103208
I thought the gameplay was fun.
Transistor was very reactionary
>when everything changes, nothing changes
and still had fags so SJWs bought right into the lies. Was great to see.
>>324096524
>first post gives the correct answer instead of faggotry
>no "HURF DURF SPOONFEEDING"
>thread transforms into a discussion about said game
Perhaps there's hope for this board after all.
>>324105620
I got the same feeling. The game had some underlying reactionary tones that flew right under the radio due to female protag and all that. Greg Kasavin is a bro. He was one of the first ones to 'get' MGS2 when it released as well, the gamespot review is his.
>game doesn't have goodporn
No buy
>>324106946
good
i'm all for good porn but your type can stick to shitting up the jrpg genre thanks
https://youtu.be/zGTkAVsrfg8
Just in case anyone missed it, they put out a new song for Transistor semi-recently.
>>324102159
It had something to do with how the Process molded the city, like the sky changing colors after the sky artist got absorbed. and sections of the city changing after the architect was taken.
Sort of like the process was just a brush and they needed artists to wield it.
As much as I like Bastion's OST, I find Transistor's much more comfy, and Ashley completely nails all of the songs she does in that game. Game could use more of her work.
>>324101158
I cri eberytime

>>324096464
It's like bastion but with VATS
>>324107707
Transistor OST >>>>> Bastion OST.
I mean I like them both, sure. But Transistor's is just so much fucking better.
>>324102159
To keep the city the same, but not lose valuable assets. Some of the files you unlock talk about turning them into valuable functions.
Also the whole recursion thing that infers there's a world within the transitor that they're sending the elites of the elites to populate.
![bathroom[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/5Ro1rTq.png "bathroom[1].png")
>>324096464
It's a game about fat ogre shits.
>>324108118
That... is a surprisingly good description of the combat.
>>324108361
I prefer Bastion's soundtrack personally. Felt more unique.
Is- is there any SFM porn of her?
>>324108585
>That smug face.
>A song from Transistor is in the new Amplitude
Pleasant surprise
>>324108651
Red is pure! Don't corrupt!
I love how effortless all the names sound in Transistor, matching the stting without being too on the nose about it
Maximilias Darzi
Wade Tennegan
Asher Kendrell
Sybil Riesz
>>324108815
This guy gets it
Red is for hugging
also assuming their next game's development takes around the same time as Transistor we should start hearing about it sometime this year
>>324108040
I'm a sap for stuff like this.
>>324108361
>>324108585
I think I liked Transistor's soundtrack more overall, simply because there's more voiced music, but when Bastion finally did use voiced music like Coming Home and Setting Sail, it was the best of either game.
Moral of the story is hot lesbians ruin everything
>>324102159
I think it's because they were trying to make the Transistor a tool to control Cloud City, and Red had demonstrated that her voice was able to command a large amount of respect and stir people to action. You get functions based on characters personality traits and abilities when absorbed, so I'm guessing the Camerata would've been able to unite people toward their own goals by utilizing the charismatic functionality of Red along with the intellect of Royce, Leadership of Grant, etc.
>>324108456So was it always the Camerata's plan to enter the Transistor, or were they merely using those people to power the Transistor in new ways to affect their work in the real world.
>>324109037
One day i will adopt a girl that looks like Alice
and marry her when she grows older
>>324098469

I was disappointed when I found out it was unintended.
>>324109336
>>324108040
>She hugs the Transistor before doing it
Sweetest suicide I've ever seen
I think Royce's speech where he was explaining himself to Red is my favorite piece of voice acting in any media.
>>324102320
>New Game+
Has one extra line that implies Red is re living things or doing something.
>>324110249
He might be my favorite game villian ever, just because of how non villianous he is and how he's mostly just a victim of circumstance
>A soft-spoken, thoughtful scientist is the guy you go on a city-wide rampage to kill
I still feel like i was cheated out of two awesome boss fights, with the two people who killed themselves. I mean they were made to look bad ass and intimidating. But no ;-;
So did Lisa really ask Bernard to take everything out on Brad or was he just the one that Buzzo decided to project all of the blame on?
>>324110756
Woop, wrong thread.
>>324096464
i hope whatever supergiant makes next is equally good as transistor or bastion
bastion goty 2011
transistor goty 2014
>>324108815
>Implying she doesn't fuck her husband.
Porn can be made no mater how pure the character we find a way.
>>324099461
If I was buying them for the first time I certainly would, as it is I find it difficult to justify. Some day though.
>>324110892
While I agree 2014 didn't have that many games so it didnt have much of a competition
>>324110892
what aesthetic will they go for next, I wonder?
>>324100463
Now I gotta play it again.
>>324111143
>Wild West/Rome after the apocalypse
>Tron/Roaring Twenties during the apocalypse
at this rate their next game will end with the apocalypse being triggered
>>324111384
>Rome
how so?
>>324111140
Shovel Knight was out the same year and it marginally beat out Transistor for me.Wasn't much of a fan of the way combat was handled
>>324111816desu I liked the combat fine until Man started appearing. Fuck those bullshit enemies and fuck the haircuts. But the combat wasn't as fun as Bastion's.
>>324111578
I've heard people compare the Ura as the various tribes that caught rome, and Caelondia has a pantheon and all that
Plus Build That Wall always reminded me of this Radiohead song about Rome's enemies taunting them
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gAUMgureA6o
>>324111816
I probably would have made it turn-based, but I still liked it more than SK despite its various flaws. Although if we rate purely on the fluidity of the gameplay, SK is definitely better.
>>324112132
That makes sense.It's been too long since I've played Bastion, I completely forgot that Caelondia was a colony.
Random feature I loved, the ability to choose whether the final section would have rain or snow.
Got to have snow.
>>324113201
rain >>>> snow
>>324113319
But anon, snowy atmospheres resonate with me like no other.
>>324098469
Yeah, you did pretty bad. Final boss is one of the most interesting final bosses in recent vidya. Boot it up mate and finish this. You'll be at least content.
>>324098841
Narrator kept me totally hooked to Bastion and it's one of my most liked games ever - I can listen to Ruck's voice for hours.
Sadly, I view his performance in Transistor as inferior, but I still like it - great combat system helps here.
Never thought I'd see this thread here.
Feels nice
>>324098469
The final boss is the hypest shit and totally worth fighting even though you can kill him in like ten seconds. On the other hand the ending might've pissed you off, so it's a bit of a toss-up.
SO
Which OST do you think is superior? Bastion or Transistor overall?
I mean its pretty clear that Transistor is better vocals wise just by way of having more vocal songs, but overall which OST do you think is stronger taking into account vocals and instrumentals?
>>324096464
transextor
It's about a redheaded girl who wants to be a futa so she merges with her sword to have a bladecock
>>324110006
wait shit you too? It happened to me and I thought it was funny as hell, but I didn't know if it was supposed to happen
Red did everything wrong
>>324111906
Fuck that 4 Man's fight near the end with several limiters on. I did well until that part but when they appeared and I couldn't dish out enough dmg to counter their regenerating I became a little bitch and turned off limiters.
I WILL FUCKING GET THEM WITH 10 LIMITERS ON ONE DAY
>>324117064
You just gotta do a loadout meant for maximum damage in a single strike and kill the regenerating Man.
But yeah, fuck that fight in general
>>324117020
>nah its cool you tried to kill me and murdered my boyfriend heres take your weapon back go take over the world with it
>>324117221
It's not like that thing was not a weapon and was keeping an all-life destroying force in control, right :^)?
If she just left the town as the Boxer said, she could actually have saved people.
>>324116846
I prefer Bastion's soundtrack because it has this song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HHqdLrTBwQ&ab_channel=outphase52
>>324117064
I had like 5 limiters on up until that point. Then I spent like an hour on that fight trying to play keep away from the haircuts while also trying to Cull the Mans and discovered that they're not worth it. So on NG+ I went one at a time to unlock the lore and that was it.
I had the cell duplicator and cell armor limiters and it ended up respawning a Man.
>>324117369
How would leaving town solve anything? The Transistor is needed to stop the Process, so if she just up and left town with it, it would have been literally unstoppable. And she wasn't about to just toss it considering the Boxer was residing in it.
Not like the Camerata could have done anything. Only one of them didn't give up.
>>324098469
>He doesn't know who should go first.
Pathetic.
>>324116378
>Final boss is one of the most interesting final bosses in recent vidya
Now I feel like replaying it again just to experience that again.
>>324118346
Shame he is so easy.
Hes still the hypest shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DviyuGNeWc&index=19&list=WL
>>324101582
>>324102034
IIRC there was some amount of evacuation effort going on at some point, so presumably some survivors were taken out of the city and made it somewhere else, and its mostly the city thats been completely abandoned.
Of course that could also just be propaganda (like the whole moving to the country thing), since we don't know there even is anything beyond the city limits in a potentially artificial world.
>>324108585
It's better than VATS. VATS is a shitty replacement for bodypart targetting from the original Fallouts. Transistor's TURN actually has you combining a number of seperate abilities that synergize or combo with each other, or significantly alter or set up the combat situation, rather than just being a couple shots in slow-mo. Though arguably you could attribute this to the combat having more depths rather than the system itself.
>>324109645
Coming Home is special because it combined the only two other voiced tracks in the game into one and added even more to it. It also really benefitted from the situation it was used in.
Most of all though, it was the perfect cherry on top after going through the entire game with Ruck's narration of the past until you finally arrive at the Bastion's core.... and he talks to you in the present. And so, for the first time ever, does Zia. And then you hear her sing.
>>324118706
Though on your first playthrough, its mostly just gonna be spamming one attack repeatedly to get the most damage. Its not until you add the enemy modifiers and actually reach the point where you have full customization that you really start to be able to do tactical stuff with it.
>>324118807
I did love how at one point you realize that the whole story is just Rucks telling it to Zia.
So is Rucks the true villain of Bastion?
>>324118863
You must've rushed your first playthrough weirdly then. I was pretty damn stacked by the end.
>>324118924
He was part (or more likely Overseer, without himself being part of the working crew) of the people that created the Cataclysm/Weapon that caused the Cataclysm.
That by itself doesn't make him be at fault, but he clearly feels bad about it, and it makes him ethically/morally wrong for having made it.
If anyone has a direct hand in it, its Zulf, who reacted viciously because of racist behavior against him. None of that absolutes him from his actions though. Free will remains free even if you had a gun to your head, and he's culpable in the whole affair.
>>324119161
Its not like there are that many optional fights in Transistor. Everyone should be finishing the game around the same level.
>>324119161
I thought Rucks was made to help develop the weapon.
>>324119161
>>324119276
Rucks did help develop it, he was a Mancer like Zia's dad.
And he never really owns up to what he does, hes the main proponent of just undoing it all and hoping next time goes better.
I felt more sympathy for Zulf than I did for Rucks.
>>324119276
>>324119404
Yes, he helped develop it, but from what I understood he is of much higher office than your average Mancer, likely oversaw the Wall being built AND had the Bastion, his personal pet project built aswell.
The Cataclysm Bomb was a WMD meant to blow the Terminals (home of the Ura) sky high. So essentially Rucks is Oppenheimer, building the atom bomb.
Except through sabotage, instead of JUST blowing up the Terminals, it affects the entire world. The terminals do indeed get blown into the sky, quite literally, though.
Morals of the story include responsibility as a scientist/engineer, disarmament (if Caelonida hadnt been racist fucks they wouldnt have build it -> there wouldnt have been a weapon to blow up in their faces in the first place), tolerance (obviously, but really nailed by Zulf's treatment and actions), and more in that direction.
The ending especially, with Rucks arguing for Restoration, really brings home his regrets and sorrow.
Meanwhile Zia (and the Kid, if you pick it) are the driving force behind Evacuation and simply going on with your life, since, as Zia said, everything good she can remember happened after the Cataclysm, not before, and you've established a group of people that don't see each other by their race or their past only.
>>324119754
I can't believe how much I had forgotten about this game.
>>324119404
Also I can't quite remember if Zia's father was actually a Mancer.
I think the Mancer is the father of the Caelondian (non-Ura) girl that Zulf is in love with?
>>324120016
He was kinda drafted into the Mancers to work on the bomb after the whole debacle with Zia's asshole boyfriend.
>>324120179
Right. Where he spoke the Ura language to him even though it was highly offensive to do so.
Another pretty good reactionary thing hidden in the game.
Radicalizing is a choice. If someone says a bad word to you, its still your choice how to react to it, and instead of making excuses for radicals that radicalized "because" they were treated badly you should applaud the ones that don't and simply say "doing that would be wrong." But this guy didn't, and there goes the bomb.
>>324120476
Well I think the dad was more upset about the boyfriend setting up Zia to be arrested for trying to leave the city than just speaking the Ura language.
And then the city instead of making things right basically gangpressed him into working on the bomb to keep his daughter out of prison.
Only con of Transistor I can point out is you aren't able to replay much, IE. challenges close after you finish them, autosave after final boss. Also that one limiter overcharging functions after change is a bad design I think, it makes it harder sure but it makes you unable to experiment. You don't have to use it but I wanted to go all 10 as much as I could during NG+.
Really though a great game, after this and Transistor I'm buying their next thing on-release.
>>324118398
He's only easy depending on your loadout, which you'l probably fuck up the first time.
>>324121013
I seem to remember I just unloaded the same attack on him repeatedly, I might have lost like one health bar on him the first time.
I dunno, maybe I just was good at the game, I watched my friend struggle with Cybil which I beat on my first try.
Of course he refused to use planning mode properly. Didn't want to use it as just a damage unloader.
And then he started getting all helpless as he started losing lives. He hasn't gotten past that point.
Shame, he liked Bastion
Spark+Charm is the best thing ever, Jaunt optional.

I imagine they'll keep him. Everyone loves the guys voice
I liked Transistor but it was disappointing in some ways.
>more restrictive than Bastion (which is a feat considering how linear Bastion is)

>pretty much impossible to die unless you're awful at the game
>not enough incentive to do NG+
Generally enjoyable game but I couldn't help but think of what could have been.
>>324101189
This is going to be a kind of weird analysis but bear with me.
My interpretation is that the process is representative of a streamlined political system, introduced as an alternative to the effective but stagnant pure democracy that preceded it. But, while technically effective it basically removes any trace of humanity from the system, focusing instead on only results (e.g. politics turning everything into ratings/statistics and ignoring the human cost, while the process reduced everything to factory settings, killing all humans).
This is reinforced by the idea that even the Camerata (the founding party) find the process impossible to control and are either destroyed by it (Sybil, Grant and Asher) or are trying to reform it (Royce), whereas Red with the transistor (literally a collection of human consciousness) rebels, symbolizing the majority.
And in the endonce she has control of the system/society, chooses to return to "The Country" (A possible metaphor for an agrarian society) symbolically rejecting both the process and the pure democracy preceding it in favor of genuine human contact with Logan Cunningham's character.
Has Supergiant games talked about doing a new game?
>>324109657
man, I completely missed it then, what exactly did sybil do?
>>324122674
I don't think so. It was a few years after Bastion that they announced Transistor.
>>324122703
She set up Red's lover to be killed by the Camerata so she could have her for herself, but in the process he was absorbed by the transistor and Red escaped with it, kicking the game in motion.
>>324101647
Who is this lively guy
What happened at the end? I doubt I understood all of it right on my first and only playthrough.
Obviously there's a recursion theme taken from Bastion, so I reckoned bystabbing herself with the TransistorRed was basically tunneling into a lower level of the simulation to try and redo things - ad infinitum.
>>324106641
Image search gives the answer immediately, the anon who helped OP should have been berated for spoon-feeding because that is the most basic shit.
But have your discussion, I'm not here to fuck it up.
>>324122710
>>324122674
How are they even financing themselves, doing one game every few years? I mean I love these games but they don't sell that much or are that expensive.
>>324101189
The city is a digital world and not real life
The country is real life
People were afraid because they were nothing in real life
The transistor is literally a transistor
>>324124618
It's a pretty small team (7 people iirc) plus they do a lot of ios re-releases.
>>324124071
I don't think that's the case, the ending scene seems pretty clear that they ended up in eitherthe "real world" or some sort of heaven/purgatory analogue. Bastion's new game plus was implied to be canonically acontinuation of a timeline where he chose to restore Caelondia instead of moving onbut I don't recall Transistor having that kind of ambiguity.
>>324107404
I didn't know they released a new song! This is fantastic.
