It is extremely difficult. ITT: Tips and advice for me because I've dumped my time into it since i bought it 10 hours ago and have yet to beat a boss.
Its near the point where i think its horribly balanced due to my getting undeniably ass-raped by the bosses
The game often leaves no room for mistakes which means anyone who isn't an absolute git gud autist is gonna have a hard time
>>332995389
I can tell. Dark souls doesn't even have near this level of timing perfection.
Just dash more retard, it's not that hard.
>>332994148
I feel like this game is only easy for me because I've played a shit ton of Link to the Past and Dark Souls. It seems to draw a lot from those games combat styles.
>>332996447
Helpful, didn't consider that. Given only 3 actions, dashing being one, i personally thought "Hey, man, fuck that shit. I'm going to stick with shooting the shit." You're a fucking genius, asshole.
>>332994148
I like that they didn't tell anyone they weren't filling the goals for coop and took out people's pledged enemy designs because they didnt like them.
>>332994148
Okay, I'm in the factory and I've found a working robot that I can pilot. Where do I go from here?
I just hate the lengthy respawn animation. Alright so far though.
>>332996756
Well, I've played a shit-ton of Dark Souls (and all of the similar games) and Nuclear Throne, which both seem pretty similar also. I just feel as if I'm missing some sort of damage increase or health boost. If not, i must be overlooking a mechanic.
Just cleared the fire area. I'm liking it a lot so far!
>>332994148
East boss is easiest. Just attack once and dash out or just wait till he takes his time to barf out minions for loads of free damage. You if you launch the minions at him and they explode he drops to the floor for even more free damage.
>>332996889
Yo, I don't know about any of that shit. Just by looking for some help online i saw some controversy surrounding it. I didn't support the kickstarter (or know about it before it i bought it today). That does sound like some shitty business practice, and I can understand some anger over that.
>>332997223
Thanks, I appreciate it. If you know anything about the north and/or east boss, that would also be greatly appreciated.
>>332997194
>Cleared
Care to help out then?
>>332997076
If you don't already have them, buy the chain dashing ability from the shop in town, and then get the gapcloser dashing slash from the sword shop.
Once you get those, you can maneuver in and out of combat much easier, and weave through enemy waves. Also try to work on figuring out enemy movesets and patterns, and learn to let them attack and then go aggressive while they are recovering.
>>332997774
Very, very much appreciated. Many thanks.
>>332997774
Also, is there any faster way to get the currency than just running around and trying to find the tiniest pathway in the most sequestered areas?
>>332998240
Unfortunately not.
I had a time with disco bird in the north. but once you get him to his last bit of health he actually is easier because he alternates horizontal and vertical rows.
How the fuck do you get in this room circled in green? It's not connected to anything so it's basically just a hidden wall hunt at this point. It's in the southern area.
>>332999453
It's 90% Hidden wall hunt. You progress in the western area purely by slashing the shit out of every light green crystal
>>332999351
once he reaches that point you can literally just run over to him and go apeshit til he dies
Any tips on the whole key thing? There's these doors with like 4-15 blocks representing keys. Where the fuck am i meant to find them. Not to mention the weird ass map
Anyone willing to buy a poorfag Hyperlight Drifter?
>>333000121
You just have to explore more. Most of them are hidden over almost invisible black walls.
I have 14 now, one left till I can open the door on the right side of the city, curious about what is in there.
Which one of the dash atacks is the best one to get? THe sword shop's or the dash shop'se
Is it good? I remember seeing threads about it before it came out. Looks neat at least.
>>333001206
This is a very good game, but it seems to cater only to the most extreme side of gaming. The people who check every nook and cranny and will spend time getting their timing pristine perfect
>>333001403
It's pretty fun. I'd say at least a 7/10 Zelda clone with more dynamic combat and harder.
>>333000674
Sent ;)
>>332997510
North is hard. It helps to have chain dash, but I did it with no upgrades, since I headed north first.
Just slash at him when he teleports to another place and shoot him otherwise. When he is almost dead he will just non stop repeat the same two attacks,but deals a shit ton of damage.
Died a lot, but it's manageable once you learn his pattern.
>>333001669
damn anon thanks :)
>>333001767
Yeah, I feel the north boss is easier than west though. He just persists restlessly and his attacks have an astonishingly large range. On top of that, the unneeded adds
>>332997039
In the latest patch you can speed that up by holding A/X
>>333001767
north bosses attack fixed-shape is always the same as well
it's x then +
so you can dash vertical/horizontal to avoid the first, the diagonally for the second
>>333001403
Not really. Every area is the same in terms of gameplay. Go north, east or west, find hidden keys, get upgrades. I was excited, but I'm going to end up not buying it until its either really cheap or gets more content.
>>332994148
this game is hot fucking garbage
it seems to think that good difficulty = flooding rooms full of projectile shooting enemies that are stupidly hard to avoid
and since the game autosaves i was left with one health and no heals so i'm fucked and can't do anything
not that the level design or gameplay was all that fun anyway
How many times do you have to chain dash to get the second item in the shop?

You can warp back to the overworld pads at any time and heal yourself.
>>333002773
>sucks at game
>hurrdurr game is garbage
ARTIFICIAL DIFFICULTYseriously though I can't help but get frustrated when I reached 632 chain dashes before messing up the timing ;_;
I seriously cannot believe how casual you spastic cunts are. You literally cannot beat the very "tumblr pixelshit SJW" games you constantly moan about. It's not even that hard, just dodge until you see an opening/pattern, then shoot a bit or whatever. Get the sword dash attack for true easymode.
But seriously it's a great game 9/10.
>>333003953
that whole challenge is fucking absurd, even if people have managed it
Just beat it. Missed a single fucking diamond, but it's not like it's required to beat the game or anything, just missing out on one last dungeon. Why do people keep saying the game was hard? The most I died on a boss was 5 or so times, and that was against the first boss, which happened to be the western one in my case.
Beat the game this morning
Been looking for keys and upgrade tokens, got almost the entire sword and drift moves.
Fun game, it is a shame he chicken shitted out about his death instead of making this some magnum opus
>>333003183
>You laugh at people for their choice to not care about 30 frames per second on their games
>Having trouble with the bosses in this game
Are you fucking kidding me? The only boss who is difficult is the katana boss if you dont have the triple dodge yet.
>>333004396
I haven't the slightest idea why you would find it so easy outside of playing very similar games a lot
I don't normally bitch about the whole 30 fps thing but I'm finding it more jarring in this than anything else I've played before
The smoothed camera movement looking so choppy is making me sick
>>333004702
>Being this guy
Why must there always be people who claim that every game and/or challenge is the easiest thing and they beat it first try
>>333004346
too bad you can't tell where you're dodging half the time if you make the poor choice of using Mouse and Keyboard to play a PC game
>>333004865
Hey, at least they recommended the controller. Thats like playing Dark Souls with mouse and keyboard. It was made for controller first, keyboard second.
>>333004753
I haven't played a game like this in years.You aren't all casuals, are you?
>>333004396
Its not really difficult. It's just overwhelming until you get used to what's going on.
But I guess a lot of people expect to win on the first go. Instant gratification. It's a bit silly.
>>333005028
>years
I imagine this is somewhat like riding a bicycle. You get rusty but get it back quickly (might be why you had trouble with the first boos you fought)
Also, in this case, i suppose i would be a casual. I'm not good at top-down action games at all (not from lack of trying see: 350 hours in binding of isaac and 50 hours in nuclear throne)
>>333004987
It's nothing like that. Dark Souls is a game where you have to use several buttons and button combinations - it's best with a controller due to button layout, and making it more playable on keyboard would require simplifying gameplay elements. Hyper Light Drifter is best with a controller because the devs care too much about the visual presentation of their game to make the cursor stand on the top layer and be a color and opacity that doesn't turn nearly invisible in a firefight.
How the fuck do you get any of the fragments in the western area? I'm stuck at two and can't get into that three fragment door
>developers too stupid and incompetent to change Game Maker's room speed variable when they start their game
>developers too stupid and incompetent to code their game's logic using delta_time instead of framecounts so they can never change it
>pitch 30 fps as a design choice and sell it anyways, retards eat it up and defend it
>>333005817
post your map, ill help out
>>333005605
I've heard a bunch of shit-talking about the devs so i suppose throwing another on the pile won't be a far reach
>>333005841
I can't even notice the difference. Game's bad but not because of FPS. Maybe you should stop being a faggot?
>>333006167
>Just because my eyes are shit and I can't notice the difference means nobody can
>>333003239
it's hard not to suck when the difficulty spikes and the game is throwing a dozen enemies at you
So... what now?
Srly, im fucking retarded or this game is abstract as fuck when comes to explain shit?
>>333005841
I don't support the 30 fps choice and would immediately download a mod or something of the sort to change it if said mod existed. However, I don't feel a frame-rate lock makes or breaks a game. It's a small gripe, but shouldn't be an argument for the game's quality (or lack thereof) on its own merits
>>333006167
There is no difference to notice because you can't play the game at 60 fps
I don't think the game is bad because it's at 30 fps, the problem is there is no good reason for it to be. 60 would be better, and that's what it should be.
>>333006736
opens when you kill boss
>>333006736
Beat boss of that area
>>333006736
I just figured that part out recently. Remember that symbol on the blocks and you should know when to come back
>>333002871
Explain.
A couple of simple tips:
Buy bombs ASAP, and get the second one ASAP as well. Two damage AoE explosion that defuses most mobs in an instant. After getting the second one, I can open almost every battle with one, which makes the average enemy encounter much easier. Apparently some people go a long time without ever buying these, if even knowing they exist, and they're one of the best attacks in the game for basic enemies.
Shoot a lot. Every successful enemy slash refills an entire bullet. Snipe enemies that are going to mob you in advance whenever you possibly can.
Speaking of the above, you can quick-shoot by pressing RT without ever having to manually aim, it shoots in the direction that you're pressing. Use this a lot during battles.
Others have said this, but multi-dash is incredibly useful for general maneuvering and getting out of tight spots.
Play it like a faster-paced Souls game. Learn enemy patterns, position yourself tactically, play smart.
Good luck!
>>332997223
I've beaten North and East so far. East is ridiculously easy by comparison, it didn't kill me once.
>>333007141
Fuck off
>>333006964
wait, i thought that you needed to "open" these 4 purple things to open the "boss door", and according to my map there's one purple thing here.
you get nothing from beating him, even if you perfect him
>>333007141
>if I compare it to the Souls games, it will seem less shit.
Nah nigger.
Is there any hope of getting a dsfix-style frame unlocker?
>>333007305
nigga there are 4 other purple things on your map. go to those. There are also 3 other purple things that your map isn't telling you about
just beat it after 10 hours. i liked it but it lacked a third act, it feels unfinished. also you can cheese really hard with the shotgun and sword reflect, it makes the final boss a joke.
7/10
>>332994148
I've been having a blast, but I have a hard time navigating with the abstract ass map. Any tips?
>>332994148
>10 hours and haven't beaten a boss
Dude, what? I've beaten the game and I only played 9 hours. I didn't even go that fast.
The game is hard but it's not impossible. Step up senpai.
>>333007559
I'm with you in this m8
Just beat it today. Pretty awesome game. Wouldn't mind a longer sequel on a better engine.
LMAO @ the rock paper shotgun reviewer for this game.
Pro tips:
Buy the chain dash
Buy the sword charge
Buy at least one more health pack slot
On the boss to the west,you can bait him into killing the adds in the crystals before he summons them..
>>333007437
I fought the bird boss first and it was strikingly more difficult than the final boss. I guess because I didn't have the shotgun, reflect, or chain dash at the time, but still. The final boss felt underwhelming for sure.
>>332997194
>fire area
>>332996863

I'm just bad m8
I'm good at dark souls so i guess ill just drop this if i haven't beaten it by the 5th of april (Enter the Gungeon looks fantastic) and get onto the DS3 train on the 12th
>>333007305
You need only 3
>>333007712
I just beat the bird boss without any of that stuff, either. I died a lot, but it felt really good when I beat him. Do you think its viable to play the whole game without buying stuff? Or is that ridiculous with the difficulty scaling?
Sorry to bother you with all these questions, anon. Just figured you might have an opinion on it.
I went east and I have 3 of the triangles and I don't know how to get the fourth. Any advice?
>beat NG+
>got every key, monolith, and gearbit
>still not sure what's going on in the story
I mean, what the fuck? I'm hunting around for these diamonds until I finallyget to the big diamond only to destroy it in the end and die?This is either heavy symbolism or the vaguest shit I've seen. Nobody really talks about the story either, so that isn't helping.
>>333005921
This one right here is driving me nuts since I can't figure it out.
I have never seen /v/ shitpost harder about an enjoyable game
It has its flaws but for fuck's sake it's a joy to play
>>333007559
Map is kind of confusing because your character's icon sits arbitrarily in the zone you're currently in, but doesn't correspond to your specific location. Figure out which zone you're in from the icon, then figure out where you are/want to go based on the shape of the environment.
Why are there so many people whining about the difficulty?
The game is nice enough to let you restart in the same room you died in without leaving any of your consumables used
>>333007559
>>333008143
Building on that, the overworld map seems to lay out the main path fairly accurately, so if you can figure out when you enter the new zone, you can generally navigate based on the landmarks they include on the map, like broken stairways and stuff. Underworld map is a nightmare though.
>>333008029
Given how much easier the game became with upgrades, I'm sure some people will start playing it without upgrades as a challenge. It certainly occurred to me. I think it's possible.
Buying the upgrades (especially the chain dash and bullet reflect) just felt like I was gaining all the stuff I felt like I should have had from the beginning of the game.
Also I agree, beating that boss was the most satisfying thing in the game for me, definitely left the biggest impression with how hard it was. I just kept at it because the first thing on the steam news list was some "games journalist" crying about how he couldn't beat the first boss and essentially saying that the game should let him win. What a faggot.
>>333008069
>got all keys
HELP
how many keys are in each region
>>333007559
The map was made to be hard to decipher to make the game world seem artificially bigger than it actually is due to how easy it is to get lost with no real landmarks besides the giants.
>>333008052
I was stuck there too, walk in that area a bit, some of the plants are enemies. Once you kill all of them a path to the west opens up.
Can you play this game with a controller comfortably?
Would rate this game easier or harder than the Megaman Zero series?
>>333008098
remember that bridge you cross, and on the right theres a golem blocked off by some raised platforms, you lower those platforms by going to the left room and hitting a floor switch, then go back past the golem and theres 6 prison cells and some enemies/turrets
on the top right prison cell theres a wall you can walk into on the right
>>333008546
you need a keyboard and mouse
Man north is so much easier than east.
I did east first and some of the encounters were fucking gruelling. North is a fucking cakewalk.
What are west and south like in comparison?
>>333008435
4 regions
16 keys
Figure it out
>>333008435
Fucking this, I have everything except a single key. Do i get one from beating the challenge rooms? Just wanna know whats behind the 16 key door.
>>332999453
go to the lower left corner of that section and there should be a cliff, there's invisible platforms that'll become lightly visible when you approach them
i cleared that room just today, you need to beat the boss in the south area first though
>>333008604
Easier
We need someone to make a fucking readable map. This shit is fugly and unreadable
>>333008604
easier for sure
>>333008679

But I don't understand why people think it's so difficult. I've just unlocked south, I didn't die to East boss, once to North and twice to West. If you're struggling with mobs you can port back to any teleporter and it refills your health and bullets and the healthpacks respawn. Chain dash plus dashstab is all you need to make the game ez mode
>>333007339
What the fuck are you doing in that webm?
>>333008931

800 times was pretty lame to have to go for if you were doing it normally.

I found a ton of them by paying attention to the walls and floors. I guess I have some kind of talent for finding secrets in games. I also found tons of stuff that all my friends missed in my first playthrough of Shovel Knight.Seriously though it's not fucking hard, this stuff is obvious if you're looking for it.

That paper infront of that hidden wall in the library that a key and teleporter are behind? That paper is infront of like 50 other walls that aren't secrets at all.
The clues are dogshit because they aren't clues at all.

What's the dirt on the creator, I heard he's nuts or something?
>>333010056
Oh man I sure loved doing that on every pit in the north to find those two triangles.
Just hug every single fucking pit until your dude finally lights up. They weren't even remotely special or unique pits, just parts of random-ass pits.
SECRETS WITHIN SECRETS
>>333009968
Maybe you should think about where you would hide clues on each screen if you were a game developer.
Pay attention to when the camera shifts to hide an area from view that would otherwise be visible in your current position.
When the camera oddly frames a platform bordering empty space, run to the edge of that platform.
it was a good game but not worth 21$. i didn't know about the content that was shown in the kickstarter but didn't get in. i also don't know what the fuck is going in some parts of this game. story minimalist bullshit doesn't work and seeing how they had a whole story and cut it made me wonder if the dev was really sick and wanted to release it
>>333010198
except when it doesn't.
Take the waterfall cave for instance
at the very top of the map there is this wide rectangular pit that takes up the left side of the map.
It makes sense because parts sides of this map have always had pits on sides of the map (waterfall pit at the beginning, pits on the side as you went up otherwise)
There is absolutely nothing special about it and if you hug it the camera does nothing when you hug it.
However if you decide for some reason to hug the very top of that pit, there are a few pixels where your lil bot will activate and say there's an invisible platform.
That is not fun, that is wall hugging bullshit.
Remember the secret area with the 10000 flying birds you had to fight to get a triangle?
That one there was a little forested outcropping that if you did some finangling, you could dash to. It looked like something that could be something or nothing. If you reached there the camera would pan to a thing you could shoot to make a platform to go across to reach that area.
That was a good secret.
>>332994148
Just beat the West region last night and heading North. A few of things though:
1.) Are there any more keys in the West? I managed to find just one by a dead guy.
2.) Is the super cool blue cape a hidden item or can I buy it somewhere?
and 3.) In pic. related, is there a way to get to that yellow blip chip or do I need to come back later? There's a locked door in that area I'm not too sure how to open.
>>333010652
Most of the secrets were wall hugging bullshit.
Your bot can tell you about invisible platforms?
So getting 100% has no extra final boss or scenario? That's bullshit.
>>333010983
beat the north area and you'll get the rail gun.
It can activate those.
It is also a really good gun.

I didn't say all the secrets were good, I said I found a fair amount of them as I was playing the game and offered some tips for other people to find them.
>>333010983
1. there are 4 keys in all 4 areas
2. all capes and swords are unlockable/hidden, not buyable
3. shoot the pillar to the top left with the beam gun
>>333011078
Yes, it can tell you but only if you're really close to it, like on the edge of the platform
have we got completed maps for west and south region yet? im at 7 fragments on west and cant find the last one to save my life
im pretty bad at finding secrets though

I feel robbed
>>333011167
I didn't know that some switches can only be activated by that gun. Would've saved me a lot of time if there were any hints about that
>>333011451
Yeah this game isn't great at the explaining things
>>333011167
>>333011173
>>333011256
Had a feeling I needed another weapon. I'll keep searching for the keys and what not too. Thanks fellas!
>>333010983
To get the purple/blue cape, get 800 points on the chain dash challenge.
>>333011078
Like so
>>333011451
There's like only 3 of them in the whole game even
>>333011448
I was gonna dismiss you as a nostalgiafag but this game really does kill your desire to explore after you finish it. I just want to play something linear now without worrying about missing secrets.
>>333011989
Yeah but each time I get one that didn't work and thought maybe there's an alternate path and use the sword instead.
What type of game is this? Can someone give me a game this is comparable to. Is it like Bastion?
Is there supposed to be a weapon after the left boss?
>>333012197
I'll agree. I'm pretty sick of hugging ledges and bumping against walls. I don't even want to try to get all of the keys to unlock the 12 and 16 key doors. Fuck that.
>>333012265
I'm agreeing that those pillars are one thing the game is a little too hardcore about
Because of your thinking exactly
I only discovered it by accident.
>>333012443
>>333012197
ive spent a good 5-6 hours just lookign around for secrets after beating the game, so to each their own
knowing that im doing it for no reason kind of stings though
>>333012398
Kind of, except faster
>>333009964
Thank you my nigga. I owe you.
How hard is this compared to N++ or Super Meat Boy.
>>333012571
Is it fairly linear and easy to figure out where to go or is more like the Dark Souls/LoZ style where you need to find pointless bullshit to put in some arbitrary bullshit slot to open the path?
>>333012627
Wait. Shit. I can't change my cape what the fuck. Is it because im on NG+?
>>333012680
>how hard is this boat compared to this airplane
>>333012680
Easier
OP is misleading because he is a scrublord
>>333012443
I remember when I played la mulana, I loved exploring, solving the puzzles and discovering shit.
Not only was everything hinted at in a way that meant you didn't have to hug/whip every wall, but basically everything you something that was useful/helped you advance.
Here you just get a monolith which gives a dogshit skin at the end, a triangle, money (which quickly becomes useless), or a key (basically useless)
Finding shit doesn't feel rewarding because I don't feel like I'm clever or such for finding it, and the reward doesn't feel good because the reward always sucks.
>>333012680
You can't compare an ARPG to platformers.
>>333011448
The game was already ruined and didn't need SJWs for that. Maybe people should be wary since the initial goal was 27k and seeing such a low cost should sent hints that he doesn't know what he's doing.
>Dev has little experience with game maker
>Dev cut out all the features from this game because he can't do them all and will patch them in the future
>Dev can't into 60FPS
You should've read more about it before playing it. You got no one to blame but yourself.
>>333012795
Yes, lol.
Having only 2 hp in NG+ is tied to your cape for some reason.
>>333012795
Did you try changing it in the usual spot?
>>333012790
The latter
>>333012879
Why the fuck not?
the game isn't hard, and the game isn't good
if for whatever reason you're having trouble, do the east section first, the shotgun you get from the boss trivialises the entire game
>>333012892
Yep
>>333012891
Well i'll go hang myself, it's been a good life.
H-h-hey I still got the purple s-sword, pretty g-gucci eh?
>>332996863
This made me laugh
>>333012790
how you describe them make both modes sound terrible.
>>333012795
Yeah. You're always BLACKED and there's nothing you can do about it
>>333013079
Hey, that's not true.
I can always sort of kill myself
>>333012680
The only difficult part of the game is the shitty hitboxes on some of the bosses. That's it.
>>333012809
>Asking for help= Purposely misleading
>>333012967
God dammit. Hate when games pull this bullshit. Either have to have my eyes glued to a guide the whole time or I have to fucking roam around for the random piece of shit that goes in some other piece of shit to open some fucking door. Because that's real fun. Fuck this stupid trend in games.
>>333013059
I prefer something like Demon's Souls or The Evil Within. Technically a "linear game," but levels are open with lots of nooks and crannies and paths off to the side, but they all converge to the end of the level.
>>332996932
>cut content from the first trailer.
Well played fuccboi
>>333013312
Let me reword that
OP's post is misleading about the difficulty of the game for the average player, as he is unusually horrible at it.
>>333013079
who came up with this bullshit and why do they hate happiness so much
>>333013413
While it attacks what little pride i have, i must admit that your statement is rather accurate
How the fuck do you get to the East boss
Like I got to the courtyard in front of it but there's a huge water gap and it's too far to dash and there aren't any sorts of switches or anything around I can find to make a bridge
>>333013624
read the map nigga, contrary to popular belief, it's not bullshit and its pretty helpful once you learn how it works
>>333005605
This.
I beat the game with M+K and 4/5 times I died because I dashed or moved the wrong way, thanks to the invisible cursor .
>>333013624
I think I remember having to go west for that part. You have to trigger platforms.
>>333013462
at least it looks pretty nice
this game is pretty difficult in ng+ which is nice
Dam and I thought I was bad at videogames. The only real "challenge" is from itemhunting shit, which I will admit I'm pretty bad at.
I mean it's not an easy game by any means, but it looks like /v/ is treating it just like DaS by blowing it's difficulty out of proportion and letting elitist "hardcores" come in and fuck their shit up all day.
>>333013624
Is that where you go down to the intersection again, and some enemies appeared that weren't there before? There might be a few explodey plants alive in the center still
I could be thinking of somewhere else completely though
>>333013725
yeah but my 800 dashes tho ;_;
ng+ makes half the exploring just straight up freaking pointless, fuck.
>>333013725
I'm glad all the sword and dash upgrades are there from the start, but everything fucking oneshots you.
I haven't had an issue with the combat. The triangle hunting is kind of bs though. Maps is pretty damn unreadable.
>>333013821
well ill always have bragging rights, and a purple sword a la black zero
>>333013771
Look, you guys shitting on my ability is getting fucking annoying. If you don't have any tips, fuck off. You should take care to look at the 5 other fuckboi cunts pointing out my shittiness.
>>333013771
Once you know the bosses pattern and get an upgrade or two it becomes way too easy.
>>333013901
Triangle hunting is bullshit but once you hear the beeps you know there's a path that leads straight to it. Two maps are only useful to know which area has the triangle.
>>333014087
Tip: practice, keep on playin and perfect your skills.
Fucking faggot.
>>333003197
You can have and use both. The dash shop is unsheath lights aver teleport behind u and hits all enemies you fash through. The sword shop is a charge attack that is easier to aim and use. I prefer the dash shop.
>>333014087
how far are you now, did you beat a boss yet
im pretty surprised if you're not lying in the op
>>333014087
I got a tip
Practice and stay calm
>>333006736
Arrow blocks open when you kill the boss of the direction they point in.
Think we'll see DLC?
>>333014087
Kek.
Once you get to know the eastern boss pattern, you'll got the shotgun and make your life way easier. Plus buy the bomb for crowd control
>>333014087
It's just projection. Most people on /v/ are shit at games. Check their steam profiles, PSN profiles, etc. and you see they're complete garbage and oftentimes don't even finish their games. Yet, whenever you show the slightest bit of weakness or lack of skill, or even ask a basic question, they all try to gang up with their "git gud xDD" nonsense.
>>333014181
Thanks, douche
>>333014439
boo fucking hoo
>they won't tell me how to pway my gayym!
>>333014229
I defeated the Bird Bitch (tm) and have been looking for secrets
>>333009297
There are 3 in each area I think. East's has you dashing behind one of the temples in the middle, shooting a switch over the water with the railgun farther up north and one other which I forget. Basically they don't mark them on the map even after you get them which makes looking for them a pain.
>>333014540
what upgrades do you have now
>>333014087
What did you really expect? Git Gud replies are the standard anytime someone complains about difficulty here.
>>333014327
i dunno dlc but i hope they patch this bitch, i got a couple glitches that crashed my game at various points
specially using phantom slash
>>333014524
I don't care if they don't tell me how to play, my ire is drawn purely by their need to stroke their own egos by pointing out flaws in my ability to participate in my hobby
>>333014689
My hobby's shitposting on 4chan, what do you do Anon?
>>333014540
well keep on truckin bro, you just got the best weapon in the game, east should be a lot easier for you though a few enemies might give you some trouble
>>333014359
Thanks, man.
>>333014689
Then how dare you complain when i just say keep going, you homo.
>>333009607
Most clues are small visual changes like an off colored block or slightly changed portion of the wall. Problem is most of the game's architecture and colors aren't uniform. An off color block or missing piece of the ground could be fucking any thing from a weird style choice to an actual secert. Try to explain how there is a tell for stuff like the water switches in the east or the crystal and tree mazes in the west.
>>333014796
Play video games for fun and try not to create posts on forum sites that paint me as a whiney baby. As you can see, thats not always possible
>>333014689
These "git gud" memespouters are the same people you see in trophy/achievement threads with a profile full of JRPG weebshit.
They wouldn't know what difficulty is if it hit them over the head. The fact that they're so insecure and need to lash out at anyone they perceive as unskilled is really telling of their own abilities.
But at the end of the day, it doesn't fucking matter either way how good or bad you are as long as you're enjoying the experience.
>>333014650
They patched it twice though there is still need some work. Because whenever I start to play the game, an hour in and it suddenly take me to the desktop screen and have to press the icon again.
So did anyone else get a Nausicaä feelin' from this game?
>>333014825
Because of your need to place rude name-calling at the end of your posts, dickhead
>>333015146
I've no idea what you're talking about.
Fuckface.
>>333015093
I bought this game hopping for some SG stuff.
I got shivers in the north seeing the robot scaling the mountain and erect seeing his hands next to that one elevator. I fuckin' loved seeing his fist smashed though and forming a barrier.
