alright fine you faggots shilled it hard enough, gonna pirate it right now
I just bought it, having a blast. Hope this can last me until DaS3 comes out.
The music is beautiful.
>>332722721
Use that for your next thread.
is this thing doable with no upgrades or do i need the chain dash
orb man
post webms
I'm still pretty early in the game (I haven't cleared any particular area yet, but I've made a lot of progress in the eastern section).
I only have one of the yellow upgrade "circuits" (acquired by finding 4 yellow cubes/whatevers) so I don't have enough to upgrade anything, but I was just wonder what I should upgrade first?
Also, where do I find more of the yellow cubes? I have 5 total, so one full yellow circuit and one extra cube. Thanks for any help.
>Gamemaker
So is that opening cutscene pre-rendered or in engine ?
I only have a sega saturn USB pad. Is that useable or do I need twin sticks?
>>332722939
I cheesed it with health packs
Still don't really get it
>>332723105
Here's me getting fucked
>that one room with all the crystal spikes you have to chain dash through
God I am shit at this.
>>332723180
Wave dash
>>332723180
Also: you know how you can change your little companion/follower in that house that you started out in? What is the difference between the three choices? I was using the yellow one for a while but I switch to the blue/pink one with the full bottom, yet I haven't noticed any difference between the two.
>>332723180
First upgrade should definitely be the chain dash from the dashing shop.
A good second upgrade is the dash attack from the sword shop.
Find more cubes by looking in places that look out of place or strange. They tend to be well hidden.
Just beat the fucking Bird Man fucker.
God that was miserable without having infinite dash.
Then I realized that there was a side area in the library with another crystal that would have allowed me to upgrade to the dash before the fight.
Oh well, at least I beat him.
>>332722721
Is a 60fps mod feasible, /v/?
>>332723318
You only need the left stick, at least on the xbone controller.
>>332723286
wanna say it's rendered in engine but m8 it reminds me of something out of the twilight zone
why can't I dash through bullets after getting the upgrade? Did I misunderstand what that does?
>>332723594
Maybe for the camera, but all the sprites have frames designed only to run at 30fps.
>>332723105
This is straight up the Ganondorf boss fight at the end of OoT
So is there anyway to script through the dashing room. I want to see what's behind the second door but I can only get to around 500 going around in circles.
>>332723774
Yeah it would be for the camera and the movement of objects, not animations.
>>332723473
Wait, what? You can change the litle robot bug thing that flies around with you?
>>332723623
if you dig in the game files you can find the intro as a webm so it's probably pre-rendered
scythe boss
Is there any way to refill your potions all at once, or do you have to always scavenge for them?
I feel like I'm missing some obvious "rest at the bonfire to refill your estus" mechanic, but charging the warp points refills your health but doesn't refill your potions
>>332723774
the sprites are not animated at even close to 30 frames per second.
>>332723971
Yeah in the room where you first "wake up" after being attacked by the machine thing at the beginning. There's a container on the north wall that has three different followers in it that you can choose from. They don't seem to be any different from each other, though, aside from appearance. I'm going to go ahead and assume that I just haven't figured them out yet.
The game is fun but I hate how dashing goes off your mouse instead of WASD, so I'm going to wait until they patch it. Feels so god damn bad that way.
>>332723841
It's a purple costume.
So has anyone figured out the story yet
So, is this a rougelike/dungeon crawler?
>>332722721
>2016
>30 fps cap
and i was pretty excited for it
where is the light crystal in the dungeon to the north of the crystal forest warp point? I found the one in the bloody room and the one to the left of the warp, but i can't find it in the room indicated on the map.
>>332724579
Hi Vaati!
Moving onto a new soulslike, I see.
>>332722939
You need the chain dash.
>>332725053
More like LttP with guns and dashing.
>>332724579
northern point's story seems to be that the ruins were once a peaceful bird people monastery but violent heretics took over and burnt the fuck out of the place. And then you fight a bird stack wizard.
>>332725126
Wait, seriously?
>>332722721
>played for about an hour
>beat bird boss
>now in crystal area
This game seems pretty boring, especially when considering the open cutscene which was done so well.
>>332722939
Chain dash or healthpacks out the ass
archer bossthe sword deflect skill makes the game too easy
I don't get how Chain Dash works.
Do I need to time it perfectly or something?
I'm using a 360 controller and I'm having trouble with it. Can anyone help?
>>332725324
yup its hard capped and tied to the physics. so no modding it either.
>>332725194
Where do you get the blue cloak?
>>332724031
>scythe throw doesn't even spin, just a still frame with some visual effects
Fuck Gainax and everything they've done to ruin animation.
>>332725053
No it ain't, thankfully. It's more like LoZ meets Boktai meet Megaman Zero.
>>332725439
Try tapping the A button as soon as you hear the sound effect
What are those rhombi figures on the world map?
Inside dungeon/instance it usually shows you location of your goal.
>>332725469
Chain dash 800 times in a row in the dash shop :^)I'm not kidding
>>332725439
Yes, you need to time it. The first two dashes or so are slower than the ones following it. You hit dash as soon as you're finished with the previous one.
So how many laps and/or dashes do you need, and what the fuck is the reward?
700 and a gun?
>>332725637
800, and an alternate purple costume
its just one of like 14 other costumes
pic related
>>332723105
Which direction is he in? I went north then upgraded so my hits reflect projectiles.
>>332725637
pic related, i'm stupid
what's the blaster from the berserker boss (West) good for? It does the same two damage as the rifle but without the piercing.
>he actually purchased this game made by sjws instead of pirating it
>Can only chain dash 40 times in a row before I fuck up
Jesus Christ
>>332723572
Yeah i went north first because i thought the game wanted me to. I went in no upgrades and I died like...10 times before I beat him.
>>332724031
Sick going to get this on sale
>>332725752
he's a miniboss in the south
you cant go south till you beat north, east, and west
>>332725756
I'M GUNNA POUND MY FACE INTO A FUCKING WALL RAAAAAA
I get this game is supposed to be challenging but fucking hell I keep sliding out when I feel like I'm keeping a pace and it's driving me insane. I don't even give a shit about the cape I just want to do it to say fuck you to the game now.
is there any way to make the sword do more damage or increase your health? these bosses make me feel like i'm bruteforcing my way through the game
Just finished the first boss, that teleporting bird one. I'm glad I got the chained dash upgrade eforehand, because it made the fight quite fun. I didn't even mind that it took half an hour. Which should I do next? Pepe?
>>332725912
Are you telling me the western boss drops a gun?
WHAT
i never picked that shit up, can you post a screenshot?
>>332724551
Its weird with a controller as well. He never goes straight, he always goes to the side a little.
>>332725975
This is more frustrating that dodging lightning in FFX.
>>332726081
Truly?
How do I get the white cloak?
Also, what the fuck am I missing here?
>>332725145
Is that in the north section? I've completed that area 100% as far as I know, except for the door with the key on it which I cant get in apparently.
Let me ask: did they include any stupid guest characters from other games?
>>332725975
I'm having the same problem. I get a good rhythm going and then I just slide out for what feels like no reason.
>>332726152
Bottom left corner, maybe.
>mfw fighting the final boss
holy fuck
>>332726081
It's just a pain in the ass to keep up for so long I phase out after 150 and wipe out around 300. There's sadistic then there's this.
I got some new item apparently. When I got it, a message popped up telling me to go home to switch my gear. I warped home but I don't know how to switch the gear. How do I do it? Whenever I go in to the tab inventory, I can only switch my gun. Which I only have one of.
>>332726152
You need the railgun to shoot that red pillar, a pistol wont work
>>332725948
Yeah it was miserable. I was about to call it quits for the night but then I caught on to the timing of the birds attacking which helped a lot.
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/03/31/hyper-light-drifter-impressions/
>Game is too hard
wew!
>>332726316
nvm I got it.
>>332726259
I used to play osu all the god damn time man this shouldn't be happening. I was so confident of myself going in but now I realize, I'm this game's bitch for the night
Where the fuck do you find the corner pieces
>>332726265
That last boss was pretty fuckin great. Honestly all the bosses were great, I just wish the game were a little longer. Hopin there's another boss if you 100% it, gonna do that for my second playthrough.
>>332726423
Literally just beat this boss.
Writer needs to git gud.
Once you learn the boss's patterns, its pretty manageable. I was getting my shit slapped around for a while until I took a second to think about why I was dying so much.
>>332725610
Isn't that the purple one? That one looks blue.
>>332726423
In his defense that's a pretty hard bossfight. I was starting to get frustrated before I finally started to play it more methodically
so how long is the game? i heard two hours but i feel as if I'm being tricked
>>332726361
Hard part for me was timing the dashes when he would do the AoE attacks, rather than the ones that follow you around. Lack of chain dash made it way harder. I was getting frustrated because I was recording it for upload and now I have to upload it and be shamed or edit it out like a pussy.
Also, anybody happen to know why I cant enter the door with the four triangles to the right of the giant pillar area in the north? There is another door further down from the one in question, which only has 3 triangles, which is how you get to the boss. But the other door wont open.
>that ending
I did it guys.
>>332726918
It is april fools, after all.
>>332726918
Seems like reports are coming in for around 6 hours.
wow, now I took damage during the elevator animation, I guess because I fell off right when it started? I'm just about ready to refund
>>332726918
just beat it, took me 11 hours, it's a very good game
thats without 100%ing everything
>>332726423
Why is every video game writer a vagine?
>>332726918
I hear its anywhere from 4-10 hours.
I just beat the first boss and I'm 2 hours in. I imagine, with the way the map is laid out, there's 3-4 more bosses so I imagine the game is closer to 8 hours long but maybe the bosses get easier as it goes.
>>332727025
Yeah I was streaming so my friend could watch and now he's uninterested in the game because he said the boss fights look miserable.I beat the boss right after he went offline.
Also, I'm pretty sure you don't have the fourth triangle. The boss fight didn't give it to you or lead you to it.
>>332726828
Im betting there will be some DLC. Although, it took them a while to get this game out and it is pretty damn short. How many people does heart machine have?
>>332726884
It is the purple one, and it does look blue.
I'm told there's a separate one that's -actually- blue, so maybe that one's light blue?
Regardless it looks fucking swanky with the gold sword and droid thing
>>332726918
It took me 11 hours, but apparently the dev team are a bunch of fucking jews and cut a bunch of content that they promised was going to be in.
There's 4 areas but apparently there were supposed to be an additional 2(stretch goals) and a couple extra bosses
whatever, still not a bad game but shame on the devs if they didnt meet their kickstart goals
>>332727370
Is there a list of unlockable clothes and shit somewhere? That setup looks nice.
And do I need any upgrades other than the chain dash to get to 800?
Is this releasing on any consoles?
>Game crashes at 100 dashes
I have a legit steam copy. Was it ever fixed?
>>332727257
I believe I have four...When it fills the slots it fills all four, or maybe I dont understand what this game is trying to tell me ever, which is also true.
>>332727543

>Couldn't get past the first fucking boss
Good lord. I had a rough time with him, myself, but I managed to figure it out and embrace the speed after a few tries.
>>332727027
>>332725756
i just started this game, how do you even get to do anything in that room? am i supposed to come back later? i fucking hate this "no game mechanics are explained" meme
>>332727509
Nope, just the chain dash.
I saw someone post an opinion tier list and blue was separate from purple.
So far, that makes default red, purple, blue, gold, white, and (actual spoiler)the cloak, robot and blade of the veteran drifter that marks your map whenever you meet him
>>332727605
That one needs 8.
>>332727543
Yeah with a date of "2016"
It'll probably be out in a month or two on consoles
>>332727605
Oh, I vaguely remember someone earlier saying that you need the other parts to make a square. I'm not sure though, I could be wrong.

>>332727626
It actually explains game mechanics just fine, you just don't have the upgrade that you need in order to do anything in that room yetdummy.
>>332727714
Time to go try this chain dash thing. :^(
>>332727626
just keep playing, you receive enough information to keep you going.
The game consist in a central hub and 4 directional paths, it's easy to explore so don't get discouraged.
Also it's better if you find everything yourself.
Also explore a lot, even if you die, punishment for dying isn't that harsh.
>>332727836
>>332727803
ty gamers, will do
>>332727817
My thumb started hurting after 500. Fuck this. I'm going back to comfy pixelshit exploring.
>>332726828
How do you use the dash shield? Doesn't seem to be working for me
Does the game stutter for anyone else? I'm getting a headache playing it.
>>332724431
I see the little dudes but there's no interact icon
Am I doing something wrong?
guys i ran through this area like 3 times and can't find the thing
(west #3)
i know it has something to do with going in a cell but i tried every cell i saw and none led anywhere
>>332728018
It also has small black borders all around. It's not really fullscreen.
>>332728018
You talking about the microstutter when you move? Its because the framerate is locked at 30.
Other than that, my only real complaint is that as beautiful as the art is, the perspective can be a little shit. Sometimes its too colorful to actually tell where you can walk, or if something is behind or in front. It gets a little bit convoluted, but it looks great while doing it.
>>332728068
run through the wall in the top rightmost cell
>>332727836
>Also explore a lot, even if you die, punishment for dying isn't that harsh.
Dying is such a bitch in this game. Insta-deaths everywhere and having to fucking wait 15 seconds every time I die for the stupid revive animation is retarded.
Why can't more games learn from super meat boy and stop wasting my fucking time
Shitty keyboard dash isn't helping I need to fucking buy a controller already
How long is this game?
does the heavy slash do more than 1 damage, or does it just hit more enemies?
>Undertale 2.0
No thanks.
So is it worthy of a purchase?
What does NG+ do exactly? I've beaten the game and see the option in the menu but it asks me to choose a save file, and choosing the save where I beat the game asks if it wants me to overwrite it, which brings out a natural fear in me I never knew I had until now.
>>332724031
I don't remember fighting this guy, where do you find him?
>>332728191
i know but where are the cells you're talking about? either i'm retarded or what i think the cell is doesn't have a runthroughable wall
>>332728068
it's a cell in a semi-hidden area. It's to the right of the ice giant who is initially obstructed by blocks. You have to find the switch to get those down, somewhere left of that area.
>>332728379
oh i know where that is. i didn't know the blocks ever came down. gonna go try that, thanks
>>332728283
:^)
you've done it again!
>>332728361
are you even in the right dungeon
theres like two or three dungeons in the west region
>>332728180
I didn't know 30 fps caused microstutter/jitter (inconsistent framerate). I've played plenty of 30 fps games that had consistent frametimes. This game is jittery as fuck. It's almost unplayable to me.
>>332728283
hoooow?
>>332728356
I'd argue yes, even if it's much, much later.
>>332728283
In what way?
>>332728252
Heavy slash does 2 damage, I believe
>>332726918
I finished mine in 5 hours, and I wasted a lot of time dicking around trying to find those 2 fucking triangle pieces in the western area. Fuck that was dumb.
>>332728379
>>332728457
i got it
thanks guys
how do I change gear? I remember the prompt coming up saying to teleport to the town to change gear, but I don't actually know what buttons to press.
>>332726241 here again
Anything? Or did nobody get far enough yet?
>>332727969
So the projectile shield is kind of dumb/buggy. Far as I can tell the way it works is predicting if there's going to be a projectile in your path, and only activating the shield if there will be. But the detection is shitty. Dashing straight at a projectile generally doesn't work, but if you skirt kind of around one it'll turn on and negate it, it's fucking bizarre.
Given that, the projectile reflect sword upgrade is far better just due to reliability.
Also the game definitely has a slight memory leak. After having it on for about 7 hours it started chugging a bit, and restarting the game fixed it right up.
God as much as I like this game I really hate the fucking people who post about it.
You people make me cringe really hard.Also the second half of the opening was completely unnecessary and could have been expressed through gameplay.Also this is becoming a general.
>yfw there's animation canceling
>>332728625
Like what? What would that even change from gameplay perspective?
>>332728252
>>332728502
Heavy Slash does 5 damage and only takes a third of your stamina bar, it's fucking amazing.
>>332728356
The game is DEFINITELY worth playing. Worth buying? Idk, depends on your principles. From what I have heard by some random people they didnt fulfill some of their kikestarter goals, which is fucked up. Also SJW.
But the game itself is great.
Any tricks to chain dashing? My record so far in the practice room is only 14
>>332728356
>made the same fucktarded mistake as nuclear throne
No.
>>332728716
Well that wasn't the webm I meant to post to demonstrate, you can kill those sword guys in the forest in one hit with it.
>>332724579
Evangelions started a war with the furries but then killed themselves when they saw the new rebuild film.
Is the boss in the west supposed to drop a weapon like the other two?
He didn't drop a gun for me.
I've played for a bit and have some criticisms:
>Opening cutscene was pretty much unnecessary. A lot of it could have been gameplay instead of a cinematic, and we all know cinematics are just lazy.
Aaaand that's it.
Cool game.
>>332728835
how do you use this? is it an upgrade?
>>332728689
I'm just curious that's all.
Mostly since HLD was in every fucking indie-shitter game ever before it was released.
>>332728841
nevermind im an idiot i got the gun
>>332728470
Not entirely sure its literally caused by the 30 FPS directly, but more factors at play.
Mine does it, i noticed it, it may not necessarily be microstutter but thats the closest descriptor I have. Its jittery, like you said.
I think it has something to do with the fact that most computers these days could blast through this game no problem at 200+ frames. I dont know, Im not a tech genius, but Im sure if it was running at 60 it would be fine.
>>332728660
Is there something wrong with people talking about the game/posting webms of it?
>>332728932
Yeah it's the top sword upgrade, costs 3 currency.
>>332727963
I just got it. I had to use the keyboard, though. Once I turned off the music and got a nice rhythm it was cake.
Why in the hell do I have to wait 10 seconds after dying to get moving again? That's just absurd.
>>332728836
kek
>>332728356
Nah, the game is shallow like a motherfucker
Mook combat is boring as fuck and most of the bosses are pushovers (especially the ones at the end of the game where you're certain to have the shotgun)
>>332729082
Niceee.
>>332728623
Go to the house you wake up in. At the top, there's a wardrobe on the right, and two microwave looking things on the left and middle for your robot, sword, and cloak.
Also, I did some backtracking and found another corner piece. I adore how much hidden stuff there is in this game.
>>332729059
>Is there something wrong with people talking about the game/posting webms of it?
Yeah. The inherent lack of self awareness and the absence of any real discussion on what the purpose of the game is before just going forth and saying "le it's fun xD" and "look how cool it looks :OOOOO" and post webms that don't give context or are substantial in any way.
It's just tautology: the thread.
>>332724579
the 4 races started a war with each other

I guess I just hate this incredibly boring phase of a game's life time where people are again, doing nothing but saying the same thing over and over because we're just waiting for everyone to finish it before having any real discussion. Sorry, it's just cringeworthy to me.
>>332729464
Fuck off, get off of this board and play videogames if you don't want to maturely discuss them and only see them as a form of shallow entertainment.

>>332729315
>stop having fun
back to rebdit
Something about the color pallet in this game makes it hard for me to look at
>>332729648
No, it's not that I'm autistic, it's just that again, this part of a game's life cycle is boring to me.
I've just done it so many times with so many games in the past, there's no difference between any of them.
The juicy part of discussing a game is when people have completed it and are ready to have a real discussion on it.
>>332729710
I never said that. Oh and it's also because of people like this, they're really annoying and mostly only here during these kinds of threads because they haven't matured long enough to keep their attention in one place.

Is Gone Home your favorite game? Are you expecting this game to push some agenda? It's got a fairly thinly veiled plot that really just isn't that important. I've really got to agree with >>332729496 about your whine-assery.
>>332729823
Then perhaps don't post/read the threads if you don't like them?
>>332729826
There's a memory leak, you probably just needed to restart your game to get the framerate to unshit itself.
If I had to sum up the art style of this game I'd say it's like a Chinese bootleg Fez.
>>332729887
Don't expect any revelations or explanations, you'll be just as clueless as you were coming into this
>>332729826
That's a shame to hear if true, was interested in buying this.

never mind i got that one, any others nearby?
>>332729892
>>332729914
>then why are you here?
Because I haven't come to this realization until now. I'll be leaving.
>>332729914
No, my favorite games include Killer 7, La-mulana, Silent Hill 2, Thief, etc games that have actual depth and complexity. Gone Home is incredibly shallow and lazy for not only having a lack of gameplay but fails to compensate for it.

>no robot boss

>none of this fucking shit in the trailer is in the final game not even the cutscene where the giant robots open their eyes
Who can we blame for this? Zoe Quinn?
>>332729579
I'm sorry /v/ isn't intellectual enough for you.Oh wait, no, I'm not.
>>332729969
The entire game is "original design donut steal" "homages".

Some other anon here, what the hell are the tablets with code on them? Did anyone try to decipher them?
>>332730063
> not even the cutscene where the giant robots open their eyes
that's in the intro though
also I was surprised you never get to fight any evangelions.
>>332730063
See now here's a legitimate set of complaints, there is a decent deal in that trailer that just seemingly isn't in the game, unless unlocking 100% has a LOT of content behind it.
>>332730063
I just want my damn survival co-op mode where you have a shared health pool
>>332729971
I don't see a problem with that.
>>332729214
This along with the shitty keyboard dashing ruined the game for me.
>>332730063
The crossover stuff got cut too as far as I know.
For anyone that doesn't know yet:
The 800 chain dash minigame is easier than it looks, you don't have to dash in circles at all
Switch to kb+m controls if you've been using a controller
Use your mouse to position the aiming reticle roughly in the center of the top or bottom path, or anywhere you won't hit a wall
Mash Spacebar in the right rhythm to keep the chain going (or rebind it, I found it easier on a normal key)
It's still a bit tricky and tedious to get all the way to 800 but it's doable
>>332729214
>Why the hell am I being punished for losing?
>market a game around giant robots and evangelions
>literally do nothing at all with giant robots
the marketing for this game is so fucking deceptive its disgusting
its like they sat down and said "we want the anime audience"
>>332726918
I just beat it at 5 hours.
I'd say it's about 4 hours if you're a super pro gamer. 6+ if you're a retard.
>>332730384
There's nothing wrong with deceptive marketing. Just look at MGS2.
>>332730274
what crossover stuff?
>>332730130
Seriously, is no one intrigued by those weird light up tablets?
>>332722892
doing the same , but was interested in hld for a long time , just hope it lasts till dark souls 3
>win the stupid soccer minigame
>get nothing for it
fug this game
So is the story 3deep5me or what? I didn't understand shit.
>>332729298
the extra corner pieces are unmarked on the map? I figured you would backtrack for them. I wonder what could be behind the full doors to make it worth all that work
Just whupped the bird king. I did his area first and at first worried this game would be too easy. Then I started the dungeons. Holy crap the blade dash decapitates things on a kill. Plus the 500 chain dash challenge is killing my arm.
>>332730407
This is a good estimate if you are doing the bare minimum to get through the game. My final play time was 8 and a half hours, but I cooked in the middle and did some chores, so I think it was closer to 7, and I did about... 50% of the available stuff in each region probably.
>>332730509
Think just nobody knows what the fuck they do yet.
>>332730562
No, it's just intentionally vague and obtuse. The worst kind of story.
HOW DO I UNLOCK COSTUMES??
Where do you and how do you get this chain drifting thing? I'm almost to my second boss and have zero upgrades whatsoever. Got a neat shotgun at least.
>>332730662
I'd like to think it just isn't important, or is better explained if you 100% it, but you're probably right. They're probably going for a EVEN MORE MINIMALIST THAN DARK SOULS LORE feel and are probably feeling oh so clever that nobody 'gets it' yet.
>>332730620
They probably unlock more content or some shit, but we probably have to do some code breaking. Did anyone see a key while playing? If someone can post the images I'm sure we can find vowels or some shit and dig into it
More backtracking.
One of two secret passages in the library in the north part has TWO pathways, one north and one south, both leading to gold upgrade pieces.
There's almost always clues. Shrubs or tiles on the floor or suchlike indicating that you can go into the wall.
>>332730772
Where did you find a shotgun?
>>332730772
There are shops in town that use the yellow currency you've been finding. Chain Dash costs 3 completed yellow chips, and is in the shop on the right side of the north part of town, with the up arrows sign.
>>332729823
why are you blogging about completely normal things that you find boring
why are you demanding "mature discussion" from a thread of people working through an exploration game
>>332730472
There was supposed to be mini-dungeons/sidequests based off of Half-Genie Hero and Paradise Lost: First Contact.
>>332730845
Immediately after beating the frog boss. He's in the East. There's a dead guy lying on the ground in the area that opens up after you beat him, and the dead guy has a shotgun.
>>332730845
kill the frog boss
just cuck me up senpai
>>332730772
the hidden yellow dots you've been finding scattered in the world can be spent in town to upgrade your dash, sword, guns, etc
the dash shop has an awful minigame for one of the upgrades you buy
>>332730335
10 seconds is excessive. If they removed the post-death recovery animation (an unnecessary design choice imo) it would reduce to 5 seconds or so, which is perfect.
So is this game fun to play with my imouto?
stuck on west boss, only 1 health pack and start at 2 health
should i tp back to mid, go find some quick health packs, then run all the way back, or is there a better way?
>>332730562
i've only beaten north's birdstack and west's crystal raccoon warlord but so far it looks like giants showed up for some reason and each society has to resort to different lows to fight them.
peaceful bird people had to research some kind of dark, violent square magic
raccoons used bitchin railguns until the warlord and his knights came in with the corruptive crystals
drifter has a lung cancer b0ss and also sees twili for some reason.
>>332723330
that fucking room pissed me off so much, I suck at this game
>expect Evangelion
>get furries instead
>>332731034
Depends, how fun is you imouto to play with?
>>332731060
>should i tp back to mid, go find some quick health packs, then run all the way back
yes
that's this game's biggest flaw imo
it'd benefit a lot from replenishing your health and a portion of your health packs on death
mega where
>>332731187
very fun :3
>>332731259
Yeah, a bare minimum of like 3 health and 1 medpack would probably not be bad for the game to give you for when you get into those shitty situations. Or let you regenerate up to 3 health if you haven't been hit for quite a while, or something like that.
>>332730842
There's a THIRD secret wall next the the currency on the bottom path of that. It leads to one of those mystery tablets.
>>332731259
It's just another mechanic. You have to manage your resources heading up to a boss fight, you even have to manage the health you currently have, not just how many kits you have. If you run into a boss with 3 hp you're going to have to be extra careful to make sure you can get a heal off after you get hit. Or you can sacrifice a kit early for more wiggle room. If the game just gave you kits and health grinding bosses out would be much less interesting.
For those who didn't manage their health well enough, or aren't willing to overcome the challenge of beating a boss with what they have left, they're punished by having a long run back.
>>332727370
How do you change your sword and wingman's stuff?
Anyone notice that frogs are always evil in videogames?
>>332731443
game journo detected
I thought this game would hold me more than a day. Holy shit, I guess I need to read some books instead.
ok sort of a long shot
but some of the characters/atmospheres feel similar to wow to me
as in
the West feels like Dread wastes, the enemies are like klaxxi and you just replace amber with crystal
and north reminds me a LOT of arrakoa
there's even a "fallen" arrakoa who's friendly and the normal ones who are evil
I'm retarded. How do I open this door?
I got the other three diamonds in the north, and the last one appears to be behind this door, but I can't figure out how to get it open.
I'm tempted to pirate this game and buying it later (I'm kinda broke atm)
Don't care much about this sjw support bullshit, but all this cut content and vague plot talk are a major turn off for me...
Gameplay still seems fun though
>>332731768
Beat the north area boss.
>>332731598
1 medkit and 3 health is not going to let a shitter beat a boss.Also I already beat the game 8 hours after it came outalso health pack quantity upgrades are for pussies
I never actually got into a situation like that myself, but I can imagine it would suck.
>>332731835
Gameplay gets dull halfway through.
Doesn't help that enemy tracking gets even more brutal.
what the fuck went wrong with this game
pic related isn't even in the game, and it appears to be from a build where they actually used black borders to create proper pixel art instead of this bullshit style it's got going on now where nothing has a black border which fucks with the perspective and depth
now lets take a look at the shit they said was on kickstarter that isnt even in the game
>Defense System - A rechargeable Hard Light Diamond shield which offers total protection from attacks for a short burst of time. If timed correctly projectiles can be reflected back at enemies for extra damage. Can be upgraded to extend duration. (This shit is literally under "CORE MECHANICS")
>Multiplayer co-op campaign
>Boss rush mode
>endless survival mode
>black borders on the pixel art
>Rivan The Tamer Boss
>Another unnamed boss
>various enemies
>Bosses that people literally paid $1000 to be in the game that were never put in
>Two entire areas including ravenous mire and broken shallows
seriously go look at the kickstarter there's so much shit that's missing https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1661802484/hyper-light-drifter/description
Another problem I have with the game is that it doesn't have dynamic footstep sound effects.
The sound of the player walking sounds nice, but it doesn't change when you walk over snow vs over stone.
Something like that would definitely benefit the game.
>>332731937
YOU GOT SCAMMED BOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYY!
>>332731840
Ah, thanks. I thought I needed to get all 4 diamonds before the boss became available.
>>332728742
>From what I have heard by some random people they didnt fulfill some of their kikestarter goals, which is fucked up. Also SJW.
so in other words, you have no credibility whatsoever?
>>332731937
>this guy never made it in despite being on the kikestarter
>>332731937
>this guy never made it in despite being on the kikestarter
seriously though can we blame zoe quinn for this?
>>332731937
The diamond shield is in the game, isn't it? It's one of the dash upgrades.
>>332731937
>tfw didn't kickstart
>tfw pirated because trailer looked good
