I doubt they're shills since bullet hell shmoops are literally only gameplay with no story or walking simulation
but...it's a bullet hell game. thanks for trying, but i'm not drunk or asian enough to enjoy them
>>333382309
It's a bit more nuanced. NT is a very simple game.
>>333382421
Yes, /v/ is just full of cynical assholes. I'm picking this game up later when it's on sale because I've watched some trailers, can think independently from this hivemind and like the gameplay and design
>>333382351
this.
I don't trust anyone anymore.
Also I'm so tired of this pixel style too now.
I was playing snes roms on my wii through a SCART cable and it's almost as good as playing on a CRT TV.
I was playing Terranigma and you can really see they didn't really want to show sharp pixels at all in the art direction.
It really bugs me that everything is so sharp and jagged in the retro look to games now.
They even build the graphics to be more simplified to show pixels. Why do people want to do this?
There's such beautiful pixel work out there and it's all been completely overlooked, I guess because it's too much work to make something look good and nuanced.
>>333382590
I played it for a bit and it was quite boring.
Its just the FOTM indie roguelite.
>>333382691
can attest to this, nuke is the thing you sit down and play when you want to shoot the SHIT OUT OF EVERYTHING HUGE GUTS RIP AND TEAR
gungeon is slower paced, like nuke mixed with some binding of isaac elements and great sound design.
personally I enjoy both very much
>>333382534
>not having a smartphone to shitpost on the bus
>>333382590
Because EtG is the superior game that also did everything better without Kickstarter.
>>333382764
this, it's not engaging at all and I can't stand the artstyle
I bought it on launch and completely regret it. long story short the game is stingy with the guns, and most of them arent viable, or just plain awful. this makes for bullet sponge enemies and bosses with health bars that eat up all your ammo
I have over 130 hours in Nuclear Throne. Don't want to do it again
>Decent animation, excellent presentation

It's okay but not in any way on this planet deserving of 95%. Very polished but unfortunately very tedious and has some serious balance issues

>>333382197
i played it for an hour yesterday, the presentation is great, you open the game to this rocking tune that sings "ENTER THE GUNGEONNNNNNN, ENTER THE GUNGEONNNNNN" and it really pumps you up, the game really fills your inner dakka, everything in the game is gun themed, the enemy are literaly bullets shell armed with guns (the one equipped with shotguns are shotgun shells) and there are teleporter that looks like a revolver reloading chamber
i was able to reach the first boss and it was a muscular seagull armed with a gatling gun, it was like allen'o nell from metal slug all over again
the actual game is pretty much like BoI, but instead of power ups you get different guns, i haven't played much so i haven't seen lot of different guns but it surprised me when i got a gun that shooted t-shirt, you also have a dodge roll button that makes you invincible while doing the animation so i guess that makes dodging hits easier
how reviews work:
>does the developer/game have a big fanbase and hype
>it gets good reviews
only games no one gives a fuck about get bad reviews
It's got some fun puns, but it's slow as hell you play compared to NT and doesn't seem to have many interesting interactions like Isaac.
If you want a bullet-hell Isaac you could do worse, but it's just too dull plinking enemies with bullets for me.
>>333383008
It's not really anything like NT, aside from a few features the whole genre shares.

Yes rogue lite, because they're not at all like rogue, but they're sort of like rogue. Genius nomenclature ladies andcucks
Why the fuck do so many games that lend themselves this much to multiplayer only have local co-op? This game, Nuclear Throne, Towerfall Ascension, the list goes on...
Seriously, how much does it cost to have online multiplayer on Steam?

Do you think it's because of resolution? I'd imagine some designers just don't have the time to fill a 4k screen with pixels, whereas there were only a few thousand being put out on old CRTs.
Gungeon is fun as hell. Don't let /v/'s bias against pixel art dissuade you, it's actually a really great game with a cool style and personality to it.
I don't know if I'd give it a 9.5 or whatever but it's definitely worth 15 bucks.

>>333383992
Marine's starting gun is too strong to choose anyone else over him.
Pilot is also potentially better in the long run because of his ability to lockpick chests, but his starting gun is so shit that it's a chore to get through the first few floors

i just bought gungeon and have been looking at HLD, but i've heard its only like 7 hours.

is there any replay value?
>>333382197

>>333385008
HLD is 8 hours long only if you rush without exploring.
It took me 12 hours to bear and I've only found like 25% of all the secrets and collectables. Would take 20 hours or more for the full walkthrough

NT is a high speed chaotic romp with solid gunshoot, EtG is a slow bullet-hell game with rouge-lite elements.
They're not really that similar.

>>333382197
Here's an opinion of the game from somebody who's actually played it and doesn't share the 4chan hivemind.
It's pretty good. Go in expecting a bullet hell. I'm a pretty decent gamer skill-wise, I've hit level 4 boss within 4 hours and the game seems to be 5 levels long, so there's that. Somebody who plays exclusively bullet hells will probably clear the game in the time I've put into it.
I fear the enemies will start becoming repetitive, the first few floors don't have much variety. I haven't wiki'd anything so there's still things I haven't figured out. I've had fun playing it so far.
Objectively, for 16$ I'd give it a 6.5/10, good clean gameplay, nice variety of weapons, bosses are pretty fun though cycling them on the early floors is sometimes repetitive (something I didn't feel with binding of isaac).

Great gun variety, they've come up with a lot of unique stuff. Good map generation, great attention to detail, fun and distinguished enemies with different attack patterns.
THE GUNS SOUND AND FEEL LIKE SHIT
Everything else this game does well doesn't matter, the guns feel weak as fuck. They sound like pea shooters, they do barely any damage no matter how fancy they are (damage comes from item combinations and synergies, never from the gun itself).
Fucking damn it how could they fuck this up? It's not fun to shoot a gun. In a game called Enter the Gungeon. Seriously?

>>333387481
no, doom isn't a top down game where you avoid lots and lots of bullets with the ability to destroy them all for a short time with the press of a button
>>333387481
If the projectiles were arranged in specific patterns, had a tendency to radiate outwards in all directions from enemies, and had a consumable that destroyed all the projectiles on screen, then I'd say it would be fair to say it had a lot of bullet-hell aspects.
>>333387584
You're a gun?

This, I like the game so far but you sometimes just get shat on completely. Even more with little to no consumable drops. Cause I sure love treading 2 floors with only 1 heart.

>>333387762
the only way you can kill everything in one hit reliably in NT is pre loop with a crossbow and good aim or bolt marrow. even then it's slow as fuck unless you have trigger fingers or a gold crossbow with YV. the salamanders in scrapyard take two unless you have scarier face, and the snow tanks in frozen city always take more than one. past that you need an energy sword with laser brain or a super crossbow or something to kill the palace enemies in one hit. and good luck killing the dogs in one hit unless you pop pop them with a powerful gun and scarier face. the throne sure doesn't die in one hit either, and you have to kill the generators as well which also have a fair amount of health. on loop it's a clusterfuck of shit with varying degrees of health, so a simple crossbow won't get you far, you need an auto crossbow with bolt marrow or a super crossbow with trigger fingers. and anyway you can die in one hit from a ton of shit too, it's not like the game is piss easy
why did I type that all out
>>333388192
This isn't a roguelike, but there's a definite treand towards roguelites at the moment.
I don't think they're especially easy for devs, there's still a lot of work involved even if there is less of a requirement to create a lot of assets.

>>333388732
Please don't reply to yourself.
I hate to say it as I like Nuclear Throne a lot but of the two this game is better designed. Nuclear Throne has a lot of situations where you lose due to bad luck. This is due to the decision of fielding a lot of enemies with simple bullet patterns which sometimes results in a solid bullet curtain you have no way to get around without taking damage. Gungeon uses few enemies with complicated bullet patterns, gives you dodge rolls with i-frames and field-clearing bombs for emergencies.
Nuclear Throne still has the superior game feel and I greatly prefer the aesthetic - Gungeon is kind of ugly - but Gungeon is undeniably the better game. Certainly better than anything else in the bullet hell roguelite genre. Light years ahead of shit like Issac.

you're doing it wrong if you turn nuclear throne into a bullet hell, unless you take crown of blood and then you know what you're getting into
>>333382197
It's published by Devolver, so I would presume so. Most of their games are great tier.
>>333388657
I do. It's a shooter where you need precision to kill the enemies before they overwhelm you. It's not that fucking hard to understand. But if you are really going to defend le epic "imprecise bullets are more fun xD" system, which by the way it's even worse when combined with a fucking reload system, just kill yourself.
>>333385902
This fuccboi speaks the truth
>>333389027
1) You are never guaranteed to find a good melee weapon by the time you need one.
2) There are some curtains through which you cannot swing fast enough.
3) Eventually you run into so many bullets and a bad spawn that you lose because you rolled badly.
Gungeon can always be beaten by a skilled enough player. Luck is just a slight modifier. The game never sticks you in a situation you cannot solve with the starter gun and some dodge rolls. Nuclear Throne also has a lot of skill involved but you will run into situations where you failed your save VS RNG and that's that.

First of all there is always a small chance to spawn into an unwinnable situation. Secondly the longer you loop the more likely you are to run into such a situation. An infinite game based on score should never end because the player was unlucky. See my other post on the subject.

>Gungeon can always be beaten by a skilled enough player.
The game hasn't been out for two days, how the fuck do you know?
>>333382197
It's mediocre at best, honestly if you've played Binding of Issac you have pretty much played this except this is a lot easier.
>>333389290
you're not meant to beat nuclear throne. it's literally designed to see how much you can endure until you break or slip up.
sitting on the throne and the IDPD headquarters were mistakes.

Isaac was braindead, though.

Isaac is piss easy compared to EtG what the fuck are you on?
>>333389439
You have all the tools that you need to do so. All bullet patterns can be dodged through. You don't need any special items to win - any items just make winning easier.
I'd give it 6,5~7/10. Solid enough to keep me busy untill ds3 release.
I can see myself playing it from time to time. I just wish I could play with that faggot purple coop mage.

The bad thing about looping is that if RNG doesn't bless you, you're shit out of luck immediately.
>>333389290
other anon here how do I get good at this game? I keep rolling into bullets every 20th or so time and even the one run where I had 7 fucking lives and 2 shields I still died to one of the bullshit mobs in stage 4. Also why is the dark ball boss so OP? At first I thought Medusa is bad but she only killed me once so far but I never managed to beat that shadow orb yet, even the tank and other stuff is a joke compared to it. My problem is that I know what to do but I never played touhou or anything like that past ancient stuff like contra/gradius and I was never even great at those either. I think I am just lacking muscle memory but its pissing me off that I cannot git gud. Already went from dying in first stage to clearing first 2 stages with full life but thats not nearly enough apparently. /rant

Except after 250 hours of Isaac I'm completely burnt out on it and want something different. You realize it's okay to like more than 1 game in the same genre?
>>333389290
It is entirely possible to run through the game with just a wrench and a gun for dealing damage. Keep the wrench out for the most part, only swap to the other gun for killing things quickly, or enemies with large health pools. (Crystals., robot walkers bosses etc.)
You're practically guaranteed to find a wrench before 2-1 with how often it drops from enemies and can be found in chests. You could also farm until you get the gold wrench, which eliminates the need to get lucky anyways. As for "not being able to swing fast enough", you just need the get rid of the bullets you can't avoid. If all else fails you could just use crystal. And of course you'll die eventually in nuclear throne, that's kind of the idea behind looping endlessly.
tl;dr luck can be circumvented through skill and planning. Git gud.
>>333389515
And that's fine as long as -you- break or slip. What's not okay is the game generating a level you have no chance to beat because you never got a fast melee weapon, Hammerhead, and are out of cover in front of a bullet pattern which you cannot dodge.

Beat the game can confirm.
I like Binding of Isaac
I like Nuclear Throne
I like touhouI like Enter the Gungeon
its pretty much a faster binding of isaac, wouldn't buy at full price
would give it 8/10 pretty fun, can get it for $6.50 on nuuvem, its not region locked, have to vpn to buy it though
>>333383227
I just found out about all the SJW bullshit they shoehorned in near the end of the game...... fuck......I guess I gotta boycott it
Is there a trick to finding secret rooms?

Bad:
Weapon progression is a power creep, most weapons are just +1 reskins. Very little variety compared with Nuclear Throne where a shotgun type weapon has several different variants alone.
First floor is a ten-minute chore at the very least, you reload constantly, your clip has minuscule capacity and even homing bombs tank your bullets. Bosses are simplistic and tedious, dodgeroll is overpowered and you can circlestrafe most of their attacks anyway.
Pixelshit even for pixelshit standards.
Reddit gold tier writing.
Horrible boss design, lazy bullet patterns. Makes Nicalis people look like they know what they're doing.
Overall, the game is dead on arrival because no one is going to play a roguelike where you have to endure shit gameplay until the harder parts start. You will always be underpowered and forced to go through the motions until trivial combat goes away and you have your +1 weapon type. Zero pacing, good example would be how Isaac is often blamed for it when you don't get good damage, but at least you can get lucky with a yellow room.
Good:
Map warp; needs to be patched into Isaac.
>>333389717
You are -almost- correct. Nuclear Throne is 95% skill 5% luck. The better you are the more bad situations you can claw your way out of. There are, however, situations which you have no way to deal with due to extremely bad dice rolls. Gungeon is a lot more careful about how it deploys enemies. A few enemies are still a threat because they can shoot out elaborate patterns but because there are only a few you are basically guaranteed to have a way to dodge through their attacks. JW's design does not guarantee this because he relies on placing a lot of enemies almost blindly.
Dieing eventually is fine if it is because you can't keep up with the enemies. It is not fine if you die eventually because the game rolls a dice every level and you eventually roll a 1.
I kinda feel cheated since the Crossbow is pretty much the best gun for most shit. Like getting a new gun doesn't really change anything, most of the time.

Oh no, the thread is not a hugbox!

I love indie pixel shit. Maybe should give this a try
I never play games like this. What happens if I quit? Does it save? I'm on floor2_and I don't want to lose my hard earned progress.

Really?
I know it had a good following before it hit Steam, but that's suprising.

you start over at the very beginning and you will keep your intergalactic credits and if you freed anyone with a golden key that will also transfer, otherwise nothing afaik.

Initial spawns come to mind. Especially in 5-3, 7-1 and 7-2

That said, the energy sword isn't one of my favourite weapons in NT because of nothing.
>>333390797
That is what I am doing, actually both, I still die at stage 4 or sometimes even earlier.
>>333390862
It took me 30 mins to get to stage 4 and it has only 5 stages or something like that, do not want to spoil. ;)
>>333388863
Ah, let me note another thing in favor of Nuclear Throne: game length. 1 hour is too long for a single play session. Research points out that focus lapses after around 45 minutes and people tend to prefer play sessions which last around half an hour. You can elongate this period by putting in periods in which the player does not need to focus - this is why RPGs can be played for many hours; a lot of the time is spent mindlessly wandering.
Nuclear Throne's 20-30 minute play session length is a perfect fit for the format.
>>333390875
It is anon, when a dope fiend has fun, it leads to them destroying their life. It's the same for people like you who suffer from chronic fagitus.
>>333390727
Well it did a week ago when i checked steam. Obviously its proportional and a niche game will always score higher than others but yeah, highest rating and deserves it.
>>333390914
I don't know why but I always find myself using explosive weapons in NT. There's just something about huge explosions and splash damage that makes my dick hard.and then panicfiring at the asshole right next to me and killing myself because I never rolled boiling veins always kills it.
