This game is comfy as fuck. What do you think about it?
>>320005856
artsy shit
>Transistor is a good game
>>320005856
I'd have to - have to agree... Anon.
>>320005856
soundtrack was pretty good
>>320005856
gameplay's trash compared to bastion; final boss was a gimmick and everyone sucked supergiant's dick for it.
i just wanted another bastion; transistor was a true disappointment
Decent.
Worst than bastion in every way though
>>320007171
These pictures make me feel uncomfortable.
Bad combat. Who the fuck thought that having a CD/energy bar was a good idea?
It just means that you have to run around doing fuck all after you blast your load.
>>320005856
Game is beautiful.
I didn't like the gameplay at all. Combat wasn't good.
>>320005856
I wish I'd found more challenges, they were the most fun.
>>320007171
I don't really understand to be honest
>>320007171
femanon is pertty
>>320005856
I think
>female protagonist
that's what
>>320007650
Bastion is garbage with awful gameplay. Transistor is far more interesting.
Bastion was more of a game, but Transistor is more of a game.
>>320007171
lmao the love lab bodypillow
>>320008375
fuck off with your lies; bastion has:
>weapon upgrades/combos
>challenges that actually give you something worthwhile
>upgrade and configure the bastion as you see fit
>gameplay doesn't devolve into "run for your life in circles while your turn meter recharges because you can't attack while it charges and everything will melt you"
>longer than transistor
>world fleshed out better; setting has more meat to it
>music's better
>>320005856
I enjoyed it until it decided to delete all of my save data 2/3rds of the way through
>>320009402
>Bastion was more of a game, but Transistor is more of a game.
The fuck is that supposed to mean?
>>320005856
Really liked Bastion, fucking loved Transistor. It's both more flawed and more ambitious and somehow for all the things it got undoubtedly right (visuals, music, new combat system) I gained a deep appreciation for that game.
>>320009808
Transistor has most of those things as well though
>>320009808
this
Playing with all 10 idols activated was really tense and felt really rewarding
also Bastion NPC Crew > one talking sword
>>320005856
It was boring as hell though, gameplay and story wise, I couldn't wait to finish and be done with it once and for all.
Nice artwork and music though.
Way too fucking short.
It was an okay game but pales in comparison to Bastion in both quantity and quality.
yfwWe All Become basically spoils the whole story in the first few minutes of the game. Bit by bit it comes true and then at the end when your in the country you're like HOLY SHIT but you don't actually say it cause Red's mute.
>>320009808
>weapon upgrades/combos
The hell? Transistor offers way more skill synergy and even more loadout possibilites.
>challenges that actually give you something worthwhile
Transistor was lacking encounters, no argument here.
>upgrade and configure the bastion as you see fit
That's literally just something that Bastion has because you build an actual bastion. Why should they just repeat it? Transistor had its own combat and skill system.
>gameplay doesn't devolve into "run for your life in circles while your turn meter recharges because you can't attack while it charges and everything will melt you"
You can build enough loadouts that don't need the pause function.
>longer than transistor
True.
>world fleshed out better; setting has more meat to it
Nah, the only thing Transistor did arguably worse in this regard is exposition.
>music's better
Wow.
>>320009981
the challenges give, what, music? unrewarding. and you literally have to play the game several times if you want full access to all the skills (modify one skill with itself).
>>320010115
i forgot all about the idols; those may be the best way i've ever seen a game handle difficulty modes
The soft tones of voice and the soundtrack blew me away, love shit like that. Bastion was also great.
Wish I knew more games like this.
>>320010381
>short game
>w-why do I need to play it more than once to 100% it!!!
So you're a casual?
>>320010238
this
maybe if the 2 dead Camerata guys had had boss fights then it wouldn't feel QUITE so short
I like both.
>>320010560
fag
If a game is so lacking and short that i actually become convinced that "Oh, surely they're intending to release some story DLC later to help fix this, right....?" then there's a problem
>>320010330
It's not a spoiler if you understand it's significance only afterwards.
>>320009808
Transistor's OST > Bastion OST
I agree with your other points thio
>>320007650
I agree with you.
Real-time combat was unsatisfying and unbearably slow, so you had no choice but to rely on the "turn" mechanic because not only did it freeze time, but it also dilated time when you executed your commands such that Red moved relatively faster than enemies.
i.e. "turn" was forced on you and the game consisted of waiting for it to regen and executing the same effective but bland combos ad nauseum.
Bastion, by contrast had excellent, engaging real-time combat that rewarded skillful timing (e.g. the clockwork carbine) and other things you'd expect of an action game.
>>320010789
With you, yes.
>>320010115
talking sword just kept sucking redheads dick all game got kind of annoying.
What is super giant games up to now?
When are they going to release their next game.
>>320010946
Wouldn't be so bad if heread me a bed time story
>>320010946
Being in love is super dumb.
>>320010115
The enemies turning into bombs upon death made swarms of tiny birds deadly as fuck.
>>320005856
breddy gud
too short though
soundtrack was dope
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX8pqzkGjLs
>>320005856
It was okay. Story didn't really make a whole lot of sense and I didn't care for the characters, but it had some nice visuals and the gameplay was okay.
I prefer Bastion though.
Great title, only issue I had was not being able to replay stuff, like final boss' battle or challenges. Better than Bastion when it comes to fighting system due to sheer amount of combinations and setups you can make. I love both of them though, next time these guys release something like that again I'm buying at release.
I didn't feel it was too short.
Given its cost, it was fine for me. There are full priced AAA games that don't last this long and certainly aren't anywhere near as good.
I suppose it's from the precedent Bastion set, but still, I see it as quality > quantity.
>>320011384
The story made a lot of sense. It just wasn't given much depth
Probably in the minority here, but I didn't really care for Transistor's soundtrack. Not that Bastion was anything amazing, but it did have some pretty neat songs, like Spike in a Rail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQWAcgefsQQ&ab_channel=outphase52 or Brusher patrol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYaFbFLAQlQ&ab_channel=outphase52
>>320011576
Maybe I just wasn't paying attention. The talking sword got really annoying after a while and I was blocking most it out
>>320011807
>When everything changes nothing changes
>Illuminati wants to use the transistor to make stuff permanent
>Fuck it up due to the dude blocking for Red
>Everything goes to shit
That is basically the story of Transistor
>>320011973
Also everything is a computer or AI
>>320012143
They are all functions in a program.
best song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tCZkGa_1WY
I like the ability combination system.
Void makes you invincible
>>320012308
Same shit.
>>320011807
The story was definitely more hidden than it was in Bastion
>>320009971
>It's both more flawed and more ambitious
this.
I still don't know if I like Bastion or Transistor more.
I liked everything about transistor better but also feel like they wasted quite some potential while Bastion feels more "complete",in a way that I wouldn't want it to do something different
Transistor was something new so I was always love it for that. It was something decent made by a small bunch of people. It really shows that indie games don't have to
>>320012583
That's not https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvf5F7UfQ3c
Saving Zulf > impromptu suicide for "feels"
First playthrough was eh, I don't think it was long enough for the function combination system to come into its own. It did on the second playthrough though, and that was a lot of fun.
Tap() + Void() + Purge() for lyf
>>320013445
>It really shows that indie games don't have to
oh boy now I need to know
>>320013964
I kept trying to use the block when I was carrying Zulf
>>320005856
Bastion is much, much better. Been playing it on my Vita for a while; pretty comfy.
I keep on getting killed. I just defeated the huge claw like thing. A dog is enough to put me down.
I was having way too much fun with it then it just ended it feels unfinished desu
great use of music on the first boss wish they this game had more boss fights like that
>>320014151
this
Sybil was great and I wanted more out of the Camarata
Royce was cool but ended up being too easy
>>320014151
My feelings exactly.
>>320014151
The way the final boss fight started was great as well.
>>320013949
Honestly I vaastly prefer some of the turn() versions of songs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy9UZs9guc8
>>320005856
I was thinking its more boring as fuck
It was enjoyable, but it just wasn't Bastion.
Also is the company fucking dead now?
>>320015228
Wait, fucking what now.
Proof anon.
>>320015228
Why would they be dead? Both game sold well and won a bunch of awards.
Between this and Bastion I'll probably buy anything Supergiant Games puts out until I get burned with a piece of crap.
>>320016037
You and me both anon. They released only two fairly short games but I still count them among my favorite developers, SGG's work is just magical.
>>320016398
When is their next game? Why haven't we heard anything since Transistor?
>>320016674
>>320016776
Maybe they really are dead
>>320005856
Really beautiful game with a 10/10 soundtrack. Bought this huge-ass poster and I do not regret it.
>>320005856
I didn't like it. It's just not as good as Bastion.
>>320005856
Never gonna play it. Bastion was one of my favourite games, but I have no desire to play as a fucking tranny.
>>320017219
Here's your (you)
>>320017287
Here's your (you) (female)
>>320017219
Why do people always associate Transistor with SJW anyway?>gay people kill themselves>girl with a lesbian crush got completely obsessed with it>main character literally gives up on life because she doesn't wanna be without her man
I liked it.
Nice environments, good soundtrack, the different functions were interesting, and the synergy between Red and the Transistor was touching.
It wasn't mind blowing, but it was a fun experience.
>"this part of town is usually so busy!"
>literally no evidence of it being lived in
I will get whatever they make as long as Logan Cunningham is in it, just to hear his amazing voice
wonder what genre they'll do an ARPG for next
>>320017742
Don't forget thatLiterally every gay person is evil and responsible for the end of the world
>>320017867
Because everyone died.
>>320017742
On that last bit, it's more "everyone is dead and there's no way to bring them back", but being with her bf is definitely a major motivator
>>320016856
nah, wasn't there a rather long gap without any information between Bastion and Transistor,too?
so we'll have to assume that their next game will have yet another pseudo-post-apocalyptic setting because they can't into making worlds populated by non-enemies, right?
My husband is a sword your argument is invalid.
>Use Turn()
>Dog suddenly starts freaking her shit because of the humming
I have no idea why, I liked playing the hums.
>>320017742
I didn't even mention SJWs, you did.
I just don't want to play as a fucking tranny. They have a mental sickness, I'd rather play as a downy than a tranny, at least they don't mutilate themselves.
What, the red haired chick was a guy?
>>320019571
oh no anon
you are being meme'd one!
come back to the light!
>>320019571
no, it's a meme
3/4 of the camarata were gay though
>>320019457
red isnt a tranny
>>320015647
I didnt state they were, just that they havent done shit but port their games.
Which is rather sad, since I'd look forward to one
>>320016856
They seem to just shut up until they have something to show.
>>320018437
Also getting her voice back.
People forget Red in't a strong person because of herself but in spite of herself. Just look at her backstory bitch is emotionally squishy.
>>320018684
I feel like they announced Transistor like early 2012
>>320019457
The only trans person in Transistor is one of the function people. Or at least they were implying something by having her gender be X.
>>320017219
No it has a cute self destructing jealous as all fuck lesbian.
>>320022127
I never noticed she was 30, she seemed younger.
>>320019457
1/10
>>320017219
So, how do I not die in every fight?
>>320005856
If Red lost her voice how does she hum?
>>320023106
Turn, spam everything, Dodge until turn is recharged, repeat
Played for 5 hours and got really bored, never played it again since. Is it worth finishing it?
>>320005856
The gameplay mechanics were interesting but not very well thought out in the end.
Aesthetically the game is just 10/10
>>320023160
It's a Function.
>>320023160
She lost the ability to speak. She can still vocalize.
>>320023298
The game is barely 5 hours long, even if you're doing all the challenges.
It's worth going back to, considering you'll be near the end.
will their next game play more like Bastion or Transistor?
also I loved Bastion's western vibes, like Rucks' dialect, some of the songs (Spike in a Rail) and the dual revolvers
>>320019401
Same here. We have 12 dogs here and only one reacts to the humming.
It was okay.
I had no idea what was going on, though.
>>320011973
>When everything changes nothing changes
What was the meaning of that, again?
WHEN YOU SPEAK,
I HEAR SILENCE
>>320019571
No Red is a emotionally fragile woman the really does need her man.
>>320009808
>>>upgrade and configure the bastion as you see fit
>put this shop on bottom left or top left
WOW WHAT GREAT CUSTOMIZATION
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGTkAVsrfg8
This new song tho
>>320024085
Everything keeps changing all the time because of the absolute democracy made possible by the Process.
This leads to nothing having any real substance or meaning, but it's also how the program is supposed to function
>>320024108
All the vocal tracks are 10/10
All the nonvocal tracks are also 10/10
The music's pretty great.
>>320024262
you're right, but choosing when to build/upgrade certain facilities before others has an aspect of choice to it that Transistor didn't have, at least with regards to the home base
Bastion with all idols activated is fucking bullshit, oh my god.
This is the only game where i can take screenshots and set them as backgrounds, the art is so beatiful and unique, probably my favourite game of 2014. The story was nice but kinda cheap. It didnt lack emotions tho, the ending made me smilethe way you smile after you see the girl you love.
>>320025276
>mfw trying to use melee weapons
>>320025276

You can either
A. die by pecking
B. use a skill, kill them all but instantly blow up from all the bombs they leave behind
Which do you choose?
>>320013949
>tfw when listening to this while walking on a beach
I don't think I've ever been more comfy in my entire life.
>>320025708
>Choose option B
>They all turn invisible or reflect the attack anyway
>>320013949
my fucking nigga
>>320005856
good ideas, bad execution
being forced to use bad combinations to unlock lore is fucking stupid
when you finally start having enough functions and memory to play around the game ends
limiter rewards are meaningless, no incentive at all to use them
how the fuck the Camerata lost something as important as the transistor to an unarmed couple?
>>320026385
I mostly agree except for the lore thing, you only need to mess around with each setting a few times before unlocking the lore, and I've seen worse incentives for switching strategies
everything else is spot-on though and the game should have been 1.5x as long with more boss fights like Sybil
>>320005856
didnt get into it, only played the intro.
The dog enemies made me want to die.
>>320026385
Sybil said you would be alone when the time came for the Camerata to approach you, and you weren't.
Your husbandu gets in the way and takes the Transistor right in the gut, takes control of it, and teleports the both of you away from the Camerata.
That's how they lost the Transistor to an unarmed couple.
![tumblr_n7wvvoRvts1qgxoaqo3_500[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/3n0HRPI.png "tumblr_n7wvvoRvts1qgxoaqo3_500[1].png")
I absolutely loved the modular combat, and the pseudo turn based system. Running out of Turn at a bad time led to a lot of fun strategies for different fights, and I appreciated the NG+ having actual upgrades to enemies and not just a health spike.
That said, I felt the narrative was pretty weak and I didn't care about Red as much as I cared about the Kid relative to the endings of both this and Bastion. Felt next to nothing when shekilled herself.
I loved everything about Royce, though. His VA did an excellent job with the voice and I felt his character and goals were the clearest. Plusthat boss fight, goddamn.
>>320005856
the snapshot enemies were annoying as fuck to play against, they cover up half the screen with a picture while shooting at you
>>320027649I almost dropped the controller when he used Turn().
>>320027649
solid opinion there, Royce had the best characterization of anyone in the game besides sword guy and the Kid was a more compelling protag
wish the boss fight was a bit harder though
>>320019457
Does Red even have a gender when she's literally data?
Help is a very underrated function. It has its own turn bar and can deal tons of damage
>>320009808
>music's better
Why do you lie anon?
>>320029423
The only lying I do is on your mom's bed.
>>320029423
Transistors music is good overall, but Bastion has higher highs.
Spike in a Rail
Bottom Feeders
Fucking Mine Windbag Mine
I also like the Indian influence a lot.
>>320010560
I want them to make a whimsical colorful platformer spin-off game similar to Yoshi or Kirby but you can switch between Red and the Kid like in that one Castlevania to solve different platforming challenges with their different abilties.
Alternatively something like Valdis Story with the two of them would also be acceptable.
>>320005856
It was just another "2deep4you" game with okay soundtrack.
>>320028025"Who should go first?
How...
about...
...ME!"
>>320028762
Yes data can fuck technology is that advanced.
>Who gets to go first?
>How about...me.
>>320031812
It's not even deep.
>>320005856
Way too easy, but otherwise pretty good.
I liked the weapon variety and OST. Voice acting was amazing.
I was spoiled a bit on the final boss, which was a shame.
>>320031812
