This game is cool. I like this game.
>have no idea what's going on
>have no idea where to go
>decide to just go west from hub
>it's pretty unforgiving if you fuck up, but super fun
>explore, get gud at combat, eventually reach the western boss
>he instantly and repeatedly wrecks me harder than anything in Dark Souls ever did
Sheeeeeeeit.
How're your guy's playthroughs? Did anyone go in a different direction? Are they easier than going west or all the same? Share tips and tricks since it's only just come out and no-one really knows what to do yet.
Some things that helped me out:
>Dash isn't an iframe.
>Don't dash through enemies while they are attacking you. Dash away/to the side.
>Most melee enemies I encountered so far will charge for a brief moment before dash-attacking you. Usually they attack in the direction you are when they begin animation, but sometimes they will change to your new location. Beware of this.
>Get the sword skill upgrade for dash-attack ASAP. It's super useful against crowds and does 2 damage per hit. It uses up your stamina though.
>You can only dash three times in a row before requiring a brief, half-second cooldown before you can dash again. Keep this in mind.
>In the dash upgrade shop, the first upgrade (the A + A one if you're using Xbox controller like me) seems pretty useless. Not sure what it's meant to do in the game but nothing feels different at all. Avoid unless someone can clarify it's use/how to use it (button prompt doesn't seem to work for me if it's meant to at all).
>You NEED to explore off the path. A lot of shit required to progress (keys mostly, or at least I think they're keys) are only found by finding semi-hidden paths.
Also, does anyone understand the story at all? All I have so far is:
>Some monsters or some shit are destroying the world.
>Your character coughs up blood and is described as fragile on the store page. Presumably this means your character is injured, possibly mortally.
>Someone shows a story of a guy who looks similar to you wandering alone and then getting attacked in an alley by thugs and left for dead. It's possible this is your character.
>Not 100% sure about this but if the above is true, the bosses you're hunting could be the ones responsible. The story could be a revenge flick that just happens to take place in a post-apocalyptic shithole.
Where my lorehunter bros at?
How many muns do I need for one hyper light drifter and is it worth it
>>332642995
About $18 USD / £13 GBP. Only played about 2 and a half hours but I'd say yes. It's a very unique and fun game. I'm not even sure what to compare it to desu. Probably post-apocalyptic sci-fi Zelda with fast-paced, getgud action combat, I guess.
Bumping this in the interest of a fun thread about the actual game and not just a "when is torrent out lol" thread.
Isn't this the game with the super cool artthat's ripped off from deviantart and all over the place?
Is this the best indie "dark souls" up to date?
>>332642831
Art direction is garden variety western crime against pixel art with a spice of Evangelion ripoff which makes it even worse.
>>332643445
no idea. it looks pretty good though
>>332643537
People find the most stupid fucking things to complain about, I swear.
>the game has no mechs
>it's an Evangelion ripoff
>>332643525
Not nearly as "dark souls" as salt and sanctuary
>>332643639
Imagine me complaining about shit art in a visual medium. What a travesty, what entitlement.
>>332643525
Eh it's not got nearly as many RPG features as Dark Souls desu. It's more a different style of game. I mean I guess you could compare it but I wouldn't.
>>332642831
OP the first upgrade in the movement shop is chain dash. You can do it for quite a while.
>>332642889
Pretty sure that's the drunk guy's story about how he got there. There's currently a bug where when you talk to him his sprite turns into a bird, but he's a blue guy like you.
After I killed two bosses there was another drifter in the town who looked to be of a different race, but also had the cough that the main character has. It's probably something that affects all drifters. The opening cutscene has your blood turn into the shadow monsters after all.
>>332643809
You are entitled to your opinion. I'm entitled to not give a fuck. I'm also entitled to think you're an idiot for somehow thinking the game is an Evangelion ripoff.
>>332642831
The content the game has is great, alright.
But the problem is that there's only about 5 hours of it. I started playing this morning and already finished. I'll replay it once probably, but that 5 hours of content (maybe 7 if you explore every single thing) just isn't enough for 20$
My suggestion: Buy it when it's 50% off.
Hell, if you rush through the game you could probably finish it in under 2 hours and refund it.
LITERALLY the best soundtrack of all time
>>332643809
What is good art in a visual medium to you, then?
I like it. Just died 10 times to big frog because I suck.
>>332644338
Well, I just beat him. It's nifty how you can just smash him down in two stuns if you do it right, but if you play like an asshole you die.
>>332642889
>>332643883
This guy.
>>332644294
You mean in a video game? What, I need to give you random examples?
My current favorites are Killer 7, Iji, Space Funeral and many of the low poly PSX games.
>>332643958
The Evangelion ripoff is right there in the fucking intro you dolt. I'm talking about imagery, I have no idea about the story. It's amateurish to just retrace it in a shit pixel art.
God, look, another shitty indie pixel shit trying to appeal to a certain audience waiting for a major franchise release, this is litterally a different slashy souls
>>332644715
I know that you /v/edditors aren't very into games older than 5~ years, but any game that involves people that swing swords is not "souls-like," it's known as a hack and slash.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_and_slash
>>332644238
Poor taste anon. Music Has the Right to Children is their best album by far.

You act like listing video games you find visually pleasing is hard, lmao.
>>332644715
Nigga your memes are growing stale. Are you going to go to bed soon?
>>332644715
>he's waiting for AAAs
Its fun but its fucking short - probably want to wait for a sale before picking it up.
I had no interest in it but someone posted a mega while I was in a thread and I felt like I was going so little out of my way that I had to download it. I might get to it maybe eventually when I'm bored.
Seriously how long in this fucking game?
>>332645208
4-5 hours, depends on how fast you are
FROGS DID NOTHING WRONG
>>332642831
I actually went West at first myself, managed to beat the boss too, even if it took quite a few tries, but once I learned the pattern it became quite manageable.
I am pretty certain that having chain dash would've made it easier, but I managed anyway.
I do like that there's not much explained and you gotta figure shit out on your own. I didn't get what the currency was at first, but it became quickly apparent once you played for a bit
Defeated the Eastern boss too but currently I'm trying to find the "Fragments" in the West part or whatever you want to call them.
Haven't found any "Keys" for the doors though, where the hell do you find them?
>>332645203
Could you post the mega? I want to try it to see if I like it before I buy
>>332645363
I went east first, I am enjoying it a lot.
Like you, I really liked figuring shit out on my own. Exploring. Finding currency, etc. I love that the combat is actually challenging and you have to think about what you are doing and not freak out and start mashing.
Saw a review on the steam page from rock, paper, shotgun, about how waaah I will never finisht he game too hard boss fights are dumb. Not even kidding.
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/03/31/hyper-light-drifter-impressions/
I wish people who don't like video games would just leave.
>>332645610
>I want to try it before I buy.
Sure thing buddy. Why not just be fucking honest. If you are going to pirate, at least own up to it. No one gives a fuck but when people say stuff like this, it is just like, get a spine.
>>332642831
i went north and eventually destroyed that cunt of a bird
What do the big stone tablets do?
>>332645779
Yea, the poneglyph looking things from one piece?
>>332645779
They are the bits needed to open the locked doors.
which area do you guys recommend exploring first? north? south? east? west?
>>332645703
Well, yeah good point. If I like it well enough I will purchase it to support the devs
How obnoxious are the character and monster designs? I fucking despise that NGE "homage" shit the creator did, but if that's the only crap in the game like that I can deal with it.
Christ, now we gotta endure these broke ass niggas advertising their shitty indie pixel shit game here ... isan't twitter meant for that? do you really think if you sockupppet conversations here praising your shitty game people will actually buy it?
>>332645854
North is all ive done so far, i love the dead giant robots in some of the scenery, im getting a real evangelion vibe off the game sometimes
Torrent when
>>332645954
I wonder who makes these kinds of posts. How unhinged and fucked up of a life do you have to make posts like these on an anonymous image board for weirdos. I cannot imagine they have much interaction with other humans in real life.
>>332645854
I found the North's enemies to be easiest, but East certainly had an easier boss. Haven't reached the boss in the West yet, but it seems like the hardest of the three areas I've tried thus far.
I think you're probably 'meant' to go East first.
>>332645919
There's some teleporting samurai type guys, some generic wolves, lil exploding plant monsters... Bird wizards that look like rap enthusiasts cheering at a rap battle, etc etc. It's not all NGE rip-offs.
>>332645919
It looks like each area has a set type of creature along with other cronies, north has alot of bird types and east has frogs
>>332645954
>sockupppet

>23 posters
>43 replies
they can't even be subtle anymore.
>>332646116
>It's not all NGE rip-offs.
Good to hear, thanks.
>>332642831
why does every indie dark souls faggot feels the need to shill his shitty game on /v/? Reddit would love you more, go there.
>>332646047
That is unfortunate.
Cults are the worst. They ruin people.
>>332646047

>>332646135
>23 people interested in a game make about 2 posts each.
The HORROR!
Buying this pixelshit indie game is supporting the SJW movement.
>>332646173
No problem, there's also some frog type enemies, and they apparently fucking hate the otter people.
>>332645631
Not too surprising, a lot of people nowadays doesn't seem to have the patience and skill to adapt to shit like this. The combat is almost always fair, the exception being the few times when there's so many projectiles that it's unavoidable, but even then you could blame that on yourself for not keeping it in mind prior the enemies shooting the projectiles.
>>332645610
I think the other thread has a few google drive links, not sure if they're safe or not though.
>>332646047
Just get the game (Torrent and then buy it if you like it) and enjoy it rather than base it on the opinions of a creator.
>>332646292
Seriously. How does it infect so many people. Sometimes I wonder if I am the one who is wrong. If so many people, logical, intelligent people, believe this, what sort of person does that make me?
>>332646318
>>332644096
How the fuck?
I'm three hours in and I'm only halfway through the West path, which is about 15% total.
Not even turtling, just exploring everything.
Is the 4-5 hour length shitposting? Expected at least 10.
>>332643445
Why do people learn weird negative trivia about things instead of having an opinion? People like you ruined the internet.
>>332646292
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
i want off of this ride, not going to buy this shit.
>pixel shit
>indie
>dark souls rip off
>exploiting ds3 hype and delayed release to sell a rip off

Its just ... shit incarnate...
>>332646557
Game is fun though.
>>332643809
But you didn't actually make a complaint.
>>332646514
I legit don't know how you'd rush through the game and beat it that fast. I've had it open since it's been out and am on the third direction, not even close to finished exploring the first two I went down.
>>332646413
none of them are logical or intelligent it is all 100% muh feels and not rooted in sanity. My family is full of academics who have published books and papers, healed tens of thousands of peoples and made plenty of shekels, not one of them is taking this sjw menace seriously.
>>332646367

>>332646413
>many people, logical, intelligent people,
Are you drawing this conclusion from a bunch of tweets? Because that's not the way to judge how someone is logical or intelligent.
>>332646557
Interesting.
This "man" WANTS to be known as an SJW. What a cuck
Where's the torrent at?

Do western people talk like this in real life? I know this talk is mandatory around corporate tables and mid level management, but in day to day communication, does anyone talk like that? Or is it just an endless identity politics persona that never gets turned off?

Gotta warn everyone.
>>332647383
What am I looking at here?
Isn't it illegal to rip off Evangelion this much in a commercial product?It isn't, I'm just in awe of how pathetic this art is.
They already are saved from a previous thread.
The fire rises
>>332647027
>>332646292
>>332646047
I'd buy the game if I didn't know for a fact that my money will go straight to Anita's new kikestarter.
So yeah, torrent when?
>>332647826
a google drive link is already in this or the other thread. just use the search.

Anno ripped a bunch of stuff from books, films, and older anime. Would you eva fags fuck off.
>>332647985
the guy who uploaded it said mega would not work for him. I do not even give a shit about uploading the files myself, the game is mediocre.
>>332648083

Yep. Any thread about this game will now be spammed with these twitter images.
He deserves it desu. Shouldn't say dumb things on a public account and not expect people to find out.
>>332648315
Nice try anon. Don't use the google drive link guys.
>>332648593
nice try at what? I am playing the game right now but it is boring. I had the same message as you except that I do not use a shit windows version like a fucking faggot. Also had that in every single pirated game in the past 20+ years and no issues ever. Is this your first attempt at piracy kid?
I see one PoC in the image. Which part of the game did the PoC design? Only one woman, too. Not much diversity although I'm not sure of their pronouns.
>>332645703
I do this for AAA games to see if I can run them reasonably
If the game is good, why should it's developer's political opinions matter?
>>332648891
Because /v/ is basically tumblr/Reddit. No one plays games here.
>>332648891
it is not even decent.
>>332648891
you know damn well that if he had said something to the opposite effect or "eh im gonna set my game in yuope and there wont be very many black ppl :D" that tumblr would have doxxed him and there would be articles about his past as a neo-nazi sympathizer who is worse than ISIS.
>>332648409
He said "mechs" as in plural. One single mech that appears in one episode isn't evidence enough to claim Eva is about mechs. So no I wasn't lying.
>>332648891
It doesn't, but people here are faggots that are too retarded to realize that you wont get more good games if you don't buy good games.
The only thing you're doing when you don't buy a game based on the dev's political opinions is making them think that the game concept didn't work and possibly go "Welp, I guess my SJW buddies were right, I should make Walking simulators instead".

>>332649319
He is the game designer and programmer. Hardly just some random employee.
https://thepiratebay.se/torrent/14116981/Hyper.Light.Drifter-HI2U
He's a VIP, but not trusted
Time to take the plunge
>>332649336
It absolves you of responsibility of creating your own sense of style; better to ape previous decades in your safe space.
>>332649037
Isn't that all the more reason not to care about a dev's political opinions? Or do we actually want to promote the retarded think of tumblrinas and SJW journalists?
Because that's what you're doing if you encourage retards to boycott a game based on someone's political opinions.
People can have whatever goddamn opinions they want, as long as they don't try to promote an agenda with their game it shouldn't matter. The reason most of us dislike SJW retards are not because of their retarded opinions per see, but because they are trying to censor and change games to fit their agenda.
>>332649374
He's a programmer, not the designer.
The game designer and lead programmer is the project lead.

Wake me up.
>>332648445
did you stop reading halfway throught the sentence "books, films, and older anime"
why does it look like that?
>>332648891
They don't matter regarding the game's quality unless they're shoehorned into the storyline which is then merit for judgement.
Nothing wrong with ridiculing cultural marxists in the game thread considering it's them who made it. Or it's just one faggot, can't say I'd bother to figure out.
>>332649620
Point is that Evangelion (while I don't like it at all) is influenced by lot of things but it's not a fucking shit tier pixel art ripoff.

>>332649907
Wrong. Check his Twitter and you'll see that he's a developer of the game
>>332650086
It's pretty good. Anyone new to the game should acquire Heavy Slash, grenade and Chain Dash first as those are the most useful upgrades to get first.
>>332649460
And it's good.
>>332650086
what the fug
I started east, cant find the third triangle, and the currency is HARD to get
Without finishing I moved to north and after getting the first triangle, an wasy one compared to east, im getting into first dungeon, and all of this without any upgrade.
Hw do I get more currency? How do I get more hp packs?
>>332649979
A designer, not THE designer.
>>332650201
>>332650086
could you please stop discussing the game and join our ragetrain based on ungrounded opinions?
jesus, some people
>>332650432
Gotta explore. There's A LOT of hidden paths, most have subtle hints as to where they are but I found a lot of them by just methodically going into bushes and such.
HP packs are bought in town I believe, to the East in the middle of the town.
>>332650432
Also forgot to mention, there are invisible platforms which, if you use the scan thingie, become visible. Your little machine buddy will generally prompt that there's something to be scanned if you stand in the right place.
>>332650587
>>332650432
STOP IT!
FUCKING SJW FAGS FUCK YOU!!!
>>332650432
You just gotta explore a lot, anything that looks kinda off about a wall can mean there's a hidden passage, a lot of which have additional puzzle pieces, more currency, or health packs. Health pack capacity can be upgraded in town.
>>332650545
Sorry.
>>332650587
So I have to restart east
Enemies appear again? There are some places really hard to beat. Best upgrade? I have a very little currency so I have to take the best.

>>332649150
Literally first thing you see on the steam page
It's not like the game itself is like Dark Souls but it really wants to be seen like that. Comparing them is nothing strange
>>332650787
I forgot Dark Souls invented campfires.
>>332650023
Shit I must've completely forgot there were 2 copies of Jet Alone, it's been a while sorry about that.
>>332650132
So you're saying 2 of the exact same mech is enough to say Eva is a show comprised of mechs?
>>332650787
It doesn't even play like Dark Souls.
It plays like a hack and slash Transistor or something.
>>332650773
From what I can tell, enemies respawn only once you've left the whole area. So if you leave the whole East area, the enemies will respawn, but if you stay in East area they wont respawn.
As for upgrades, Chain dash and Heavy slash are probably the most important ones to get first as the first are even required for some of the puzzles I think and the other does heavy fucking damage. I can oneshot the sword fags with it, but since it requires chargeup it can be a bit risky.
Grenade should be gotten after that since it's pretty damn good for clearing large waves of low HP enemies.
>>332650902
don't try to discuss with a Soulsdrone.
Dark souls invented the fire with them.
>>332650949
Oh shit, a small indie game, just released, with not a lot of coverage, with some secret areas and gameplay things to discuss is being talked about? Between some of the same people?
Better call out the supposed shills and play detective
Game is pretty fuckin great desu. I love the responsiveness of the combat and the amount of last-frame dodges you can pull off. I haven't even unlocked many of the special moves yet and I'm already doing cuhrazy dashes around. Chaining moves is fun, I like shooting a bullet at an enemy and immediately dashing them and hitting them to burst 2HP monsters down.
>>332650949
Most of the thread is the same people arguing about dumb shit, anon.
But that aside.
You never go in threads where people actually discuss things, do you?
>>332651102
of course not, you autist, but you said that the show didn't have any mechs. it clearly does. didnt say anything about the entire story revolving around mechs.
>>332648083
>>332650949

Go to reddit if you want to dump a le quirky post and wait for the boats to come, retard.
Boy this dude fucked me up, West boss is definitely the hardest thus far out of East/North/West.
What is it with nu male Dark Souls fascination?
>>332651439
It feels like every boss needs a specific upgrade. Got upgrade - boss is easy, dont have it - boss is hard.
The magician guy needs the charge slash. You can transitian to 2nd phase the first time he teleports to middle if you pull off 3 charge slashes.
This guy on your screenshot seems like the reflect slash would make the fight a hell of a lot easier.
Here's most of the game's intro cutscene
After he walks thru the doors he gets shadow tentacle raped a little then you start playing
>>332651439
>gonna see a HLD speedrun on GDC at some point
Feels good man
Just installed it and played for a bit. Visuals and sound design are great, etill need to get used yo the controls. DS3 compatibility is a little fucked it seems.
>>332651807
Dark Souls is nu male bait.
It's made for them.

guys the le hypershilldrifterisshit-meme is still funny isnt it guys?
>>332651824
That is a good point, I have the dash-projectile shield, which also helped a lot just letting me get free hits on him during his shooting phase.
Eventually got him down because he doesn't get that much crazier as the fight goes on like the other two.
I went north from the hub, basically had the same situation. The bird boss took me probably 20+ tries.
I bought the 2nd sword upgrade first (bullet deflection) cause that seemed like it'd increase my survivability a lot. I've got 4 triangles so far and I found a door that has 4 slots, but I can't seem to open it yet. Killed boss, got 4th shard, taking a break. Playtime so far: 95 min.
Gotta say, I'm enjoying this so far, but I wish the characters spoke, and I wish I could use the D pad on my xbone controller instead of the clunky joystick.
The game runs in 30 fps true or false
someone answer
How do I get to the boss in the western area? I got five polygons total and don't know what to do next
Also for some reason I still can't open a door that requires five polygons even when I do have them.
>>332652283
The door that seems like it needs 4 shards actually needs 8.
>>332652378
Yep, unfortunately. Still is playable, but it's kinda shitty having a game that requires little resources to run be capped like this.
>>332652603
thanks.
you know, i looked forward to this for like 3 years or whatever. only for it to release as a game that, needlessly, runs at 30 fps.
sad. oh well. not bothering
>>332652437
Do north, I'm pretty sure it's intended to be the 1st map.
>>332650787
You are fucking insane
That's a fucking camp fire you lunatic
What?
A game is like dark souls because it has A FUCKING CAMP FIRE?
Kill yourself
>>332652437

Yeah nevermind, I'm retarded, I missed a pretty straightforward way north.
>>332652698
>because it's in 30 he'll drop it completely even though he was interested before

>>332648891
I won't support them when they support the collapse of the industry as a whole.
Piracy HO
>>332652882
i'll probably pirate it, but it was a day 1 buy formerly, i can't understand why the game would run in 30 fps.
the snes, genesis etc games it's emulating, all ran in 60 fps.
this is 2016. games run in 60 fps or uncapped if you want to sell them to me. period
Considering that intro+north area took me about 100 mins, is it safe to say that the game is probably running around ~5 hours of playtime? If so, that's a bummer, but at least it's been quite fun and challenging.
>>332652882
Nah I see his point
I never heard of this game and I've played it today for a few hours
It feels so choppy to play at 30, especially when this game is a fast paced action game
It really makes things ugly
I can't for the life of me figure out WHY it's capped
Either way, it makes things less enjoyable
I did get used to it, doesn't mean it's good tho
This little shit is such a fucking faggot holy shit
>>332653005
You're literally an entitled baby as bad as the white women that demand blacks in games.
>>332653093
The longest SP games should be is 9 hours
After that, there is no game that doesn't outstay it's welcome
And they're usually some grindy garbage too
>>332648891
It doesn't, I just like to get games for free. Stealing from an SJW shitter feels a lot better than stealing from a good person, though. This year I actually bought a game I pirated (Stardew Valley) because I liked it so much, so maybe if this game is really good I'll do the same. I doubt it, though.
>>332653219

God damn, this is bait right?
>>332653232
nah, 12-15 is the magic zone.
once you get past 15 you get okami syndrome where it's one of the best games i ever played but i just stop because it's too fucking long and i grow to hate it

>>332653232
You're a fucking idiot holy hell. 50 hours for the main story in dungeon travelers 2 and another 100 in the post game and there was still lots of variety and I didn't get bored either.
Sure if a game is bad then the quicker it is the better but if it's good why would you want a short game?
>>332644096
but the game is only 15$
>>332653349
Except Okami had a fantastic length and kept introducing new shit
I legitimately don't understand people who said it was too long. Why would you want LESS of something you enjoy? It actually felt complete and fleshed out and like there was a shit ton of content. Fuck, every adventure game should be around that length.
>>332653349
Yes I hate this shit
When a game is great but it outstays it's fucking welcome for too long
Games should be shorter, more tightly designed
That in return makes them more repayable, which is always good
>>332653445

Because you're a little kid with no life and an extremely low entertainment threshold.
There are people here who played disgaea 1000 hours
>>332653595
okami was the most conspicuously overlong game i have ever played in almost 25 years of vidya.
>I legitimately don't understand people who said it was too long.
Perhaps the issue is with you since it's a common complaint.
>Why would you want LESS of something you enjoy?
Because well-developed people don't enjoy the same thing endlessly.

You can like something a lot without liking it for billions of hours
>>332653840
I'm a 28 year old married man with a wife and a well paying job though. I think the only kid here is you if you can't focus on anything for more than 10 minutes at a time.
>>332652437
Yo, how come there are five shards in the west?
And how come I can't open the door below the waypoint (I have four shards)
And how come I can't find the shard in the underground located north of the waypoint?I don't trust indie games, I have a feeling some stuff is broken here.
I'm getting some lttp vibes from this game so far. Not super strong but the influence is there.
>>332653931
focusing on something for 10 minutes is not the same thing as playing an rpg for 150 hours anon. try a little harder.
actually, i tend to play stuff like dota, which requires more intense focus in a 40 minute game than you displayed across your 150 hours of dungeon masters weebamo 2
>>332653931
Stop being retarded
Some people played Wow for 10.000+ hours, some people enjoy repetition
There's nothing wrong with that, I was just saying that I don't enjoy it and that SP focused games shouldn't outstay their welcome and should be well designed
>>332653906
If a game doesnt have replay value and only lasts 9h - it's trash and isnt worth your money.
>>332654107
The thing is if a game is well designed it can be both good and long. Why the actual fuck do you think they have to be mutually exclusive concepts? I'd like to believe you've never played a good game in your life if you think this way.
>>332654089
>Dota 2
Jesus Christ it's like I'm on Facebook or something. You're literally a child. Lol
>>332654287
I didn't say they were exclusive you faggot
Guess this explains why I haven't heard of anyone going South first.
>>332654367
You sure as hell implied it "faggot"
>>332654287
He doesnt want a long game because he has undiagnosed ADD and by the time he gets past half the game - he forgets stuff he seen/read at the beginning.
>>332654435
Is that all you have to say bitch?
>>332653840
>>332653906
Nah mate, if you can't even finish a playthrough of a game, even if it's more than a few hours, then you didn't like it as much as you thought. And this isn't some hundreds of hours time-sink Elder Scrolls game or something, you can beat a game like Okami in like a week at a relaxed pace.
Something about it felt like it was becoming a chore to play for you, I can understand that. But people who really love a single player game are always excited to see what's coming next as long as there's new content to discover. This isn't a problem of it being too long, there was simply some aspect of the game that kept you from wanting to keep playing it. And no, it wasn't just "Oh I have to keep playing."
Games should absolutely be as long as possible while maintaining a steady flow of new things to experience. Obviously I'm not talking about shitty games that pad the fuck out of themselves and become overly repetitive.
>>332654453
>not wanting to do the same thing for 100+ hours means you have ADD

North bros. Bird boss was awesome. Combat flow reminds me of Bloodborne in a 2D setting.
>>332654559
Torchlight 2 is a good example of this
I played it for 4-5 hours I think, had a blast
Then I simply grew tired of it after that, altho the game is very long

Quality > quantity faggot
I bet you think "infinite quests" of Fallout 4 are fun
>>332654943

>>332654810
>you'd buy an anthony burch game
At least you're not him. I hope.
>>332655035
If fallout 4 would be a great game those quests might be fun. Quality is not mutually exclusive with quantity. If you have to pick quality is more important but luckily there is hundreds of games where both is available.
>>332655035
I bet you think it's ok to waste 10+ bucks on a "good" 1.5 hour movie.
>>332651824

Of course it is when we're talking about video games you retard
If we lived in a world where robots could make great games 24/7, then sure, but games are made by people, people with limited budgets, resources and time to build a game
You either make a tightly designed game that's short, or a repetitive game that has 1000+ hours of "content"
You can't have both

Confirmed for underage. You never played any of them. You do not even know what the fuck you are talking about and think lets plays watching makes you a gamer, fucking kek. Also mgs 2 has been enjoyed by me for 360 hours, not my fault that you have assburgers, add and cannot enjoy anything more than once. some games have replay value with dog tags and secret weapons, other games have unlimited quests and are fucking boring after 30 mins. GTFO kid.
Has anyone actually beaten this bit?

I try not to judge an artist by his political opinions and instead his work. Lay it on me /v/. Is this game actually worth the 15 bucks?

i doubt you've ever played any game that's even remotely as hard as dota 2. in fact, i know you haven't. anyway, you're thinking of league. don't lump them together.

Try hitting alt+enter to force it into windowed mode. It only has one resolution, and if your monitor doesn't support it then you can't run it fullscreen.
Megaman 2 is twice as short as this game.
Does that mean Megaman 2 is twice as shit?
>>332657053
thanks m8
>>332656281
So it requires another 4 pieces from another area? or are there 4 more pieces you can get later on?

>Its a DS-like!
Is this true? Because right now this game looks like older YS games to me if anything. Unless it has:
Horrible latency on controls
Bad hitboxes with even worse hurtboxes
OHKOs everywhere
Punish system where you lose all exp
Does it? Legit wanna know, downloading the torrent atm and the webms here are showing me a neat game with nothing of the aforementioned.
The camera's incredibly laggy movement is giving me headaches playing this.
>>332657053
Can't make it past the shooter guy gap, anyway, more pressing matters.
Apparently there's a key here, but can't find it worth shit.

There's no real "punishment" in the modern sense of how games use it. It has an extremely traditional fail state. You die, you reset at last save with everything you had when it saved.

It does have that.
How long is the game?

>>332657337
transistor's gameplay is fucking ass compared to this. HLD is pretty simplistic but it feels nice to play and its responsive
Transistor's gameplay 'gimmick' got old after about an hour, not to mention the full game is only about 4 hours long (can't say how long HLD is since I'm still playing it). Honestly Bastion had much more enjoyable gameplay and story too.
Transistor does have gorgeous music and visuals, though.

>>332658081
it doesn't
guns charge when you hits things. i think it's a good change, because guns were really strong in the alpha and there was basically not much reason to use the sword since it was way safer to just sit far away and shoot things in the face

How did they not manage to fix the 30fps camera before release? It seems like it would be so simple. Keep everything in the game running exactly as it is, but let the camera move smoothly and not stutter at 30fps.

I haven't noticed anything of the sort so far. There's no dialogue and the story is told trough images and visuals.
I haven't beaten it so I could be wrong of course, but with how things are looking, I doubt there's any political agenda in it at all.

>>332658796

typical SJW game
>>332658796
music is fantastic, controls are pretty tight
>>332656838
Because many journalists like many game developers aren't good at video games.

>>332658796
Music is ok but sometimes got a little bit loud for me for some reason.
Controls are probably best with controller. I'm using mouse and the courser is very hard to see in battles.

I also see you enjoy crying like a bitch

>>332648268
So what's it make someone who rips off already ripped off art? An even more pathetic artist. If this game didn't copy shit wholesale it would be just another indie pixel shit, and from the 5 hour reviews it certainly isn't trying to be anything else.
>>332659073
>pushed down my throat
Help! I'm being triggered!
>>332658963
Well, I can't replicate the problem on my end and I don't have a great idea of what's causing it for you.
So just do these till something works I guess, if you haven't: step 1: update your video drivers
step 2: restart your computer
step 3: run in compatibility mode for Windows XP/Vista/7 and run as admin
step 4: maybe disable any second/third monitors temporarily?
And if that shit doesn't work, I really don't know, I guess I'd try something like DxWnd to emulate the window? Not sure what kind of output HLD uses.

Either your computer is really fucking shitty or you're shitposting. Not that it matters since you'll probably just call me a shill anyhow.

>Voicing opinions on Twitter is not "pushing an agenda."
Lol yes it is. Twitter is literally the home of SJWs -- it's where they go to push their political opinions.
>There's nothing SJW about the game.
Yes there fucking is when it's made by them. Nobody here should support it on that principle alone. Even if the game's good -- it's not a question of that at this point. If you support even a good SJW game you're still supporting the demise of your hobby in the long term.

Not him but one thing I have noticed in this thread is any and all forms of "dissent", or negative views about the game, are silenced by people who are "totally not shills," shouting down anyone with anything not-positive to say about it.
>>332659838
I asked whether an agenda was being pushed in the actual game. Apparently there isn't and the personal beliefs of one of the developers isn't going to dictate whether I buy a game or not.

Mate, this is 4chan, no one is being "Silenced", unless you think that being called out on bullshit is "Being silenced".
I am not saying the game is perfect, there are bugs for example, but claiming that the controls are shit is just retarded and objectively wrong.
Maybe if the "Totally not shiposters" had anything negative to say that isn't provably false or just SJW outrage, like the bugs or if the game is too cryptic, they wouldn't have their shit called out.

Still doesn't make you less of a retard when you call others a shill.
>>332660405
Have you considered the possibility that most people here enjoy the game? If people are posting positive things that are in fact correct rather than a shill posting bullshit, why would anyone that's not a shitposter criticize or ridicule them? Use your fucking brain.
>>332660405
Do you seriously believe the devs of a game with a $645k budget paid people to post about their game on a board where piracy is bragged about and pixelshit is dismissed immediately?
No, really, do you honestly believe that?

You're right it's totally impossible that could happen. No way they could afford it.

Are you retarded? What the fuck do I care about the developers beliefs if they aren't present in the game? He can go home and get cucked by his wife every day for all care so long as his game is fun and I don't need to hear about it.
You use the term SJW game like that means anything.
I'll give you the point on twitter, since you're probably right. But again, as long as the shit he says on twitter and the shit he says in his games are seperated, I dont care.

Do you understand, you fucking retard, that if you buy this game, that money is eventually going to make its way back to the dev's pocket? Can you possibly imagine what that might mean in the long run, for you, and for gaming? If you make a bunch of SJW devs rich... it should be obvious why that might be a bad thing.

More games? Because that's what is going to happen. Buy good games and you'll get more good games. Don't buy good games and they wont make more of those games.
Buy the good games an SJW dev makes and then ignore the bad ones to discourage them from making walking simulators.
They already got SJW retards buying walking simulators, so if we all were fucking retards like you, they, and potentially the rest of the industry, will just think that walking simulators are the future.
Also, you guys are the biggest bunch of faggots. I've been on 4chan for 8 years and I cannot remember the last time it was this shit.
Who gives a shit about the SJW dev? Fuck him, this game is legitimately fun to play, if you don't want him making money FUCKING PIRATE IT! Jesus you lot are disgusting, who the fuck gives a shit about the politics and agendas being pushed by these indie devs outside of their fun games?

>>332660883
You're so naive it actually hurts
>443 / 70 / 126
>looks legit
>>332660892
because the devs paid a great deal of money via patreon and paypal to others so they will harass other devs and other people who they don't like.
Then they will mask it as fighting for their ideology because people will always forgive them as long they did evil shit for the right cause.
I don't give money to people who harass the devs of games that I like nor the people that supporting them with hard cold cash.

>>332661053

Please inform me, because like I said there's no SJW in-game so why would I care?
If he keeps his opinions out of his game, regardless of how much money he has, I don't give a flying fuck. You don't want to give him money because his opinions don't line up with yours, and that's fine, that's your decision.
But don't be an asshole, if the game is good, it's good and there's no reason not to play it.
>>332661293
summs it up pretty much
>>332661447
What does that matter? If their personal opinions are separated from their games in both cases, does it really matter?
>>332661315
But I can't get to the boss, his area's guarded by some barriers.
>>332660762
>Do you seriously believe the devs of a game with a $645k budget paid people to post about their game on a board where piracy is bragged about and pixelshit is dismissed immediately?
Absolutely not. They'd do it themselves and ask their friends to help for free. If it works out they get to brag about positive reception from the evil nasty 4chan; if it doesn't work out they simply cry harassment on reddit/Twitter.
>>332661053

There are 8 puzzle pieces in each area, you only need to find 4 to reach the boss generally.
>>332660437
There are terminals in the house you wake up in that let you change your skins
>>332661386
But you need proof to back any of those claims up. I'm not saying I don't believe you, because I'm sure that shit happens, but you can't just accuse people without proof.
I'm so fucking sick of you gator assholes, you're just as bad as the SJWs, pushing your bullshit ideology onto gaming. I don't fucking care what a developer's personal beliefs are so long as they make good games. Why the fuck should I care if the devs are feminazis or whatever?
>>332642831
Played for several hours. The pacing is off due to overreliance on dashing and extremely simplistic environment design. The symbols used are pretty unintuitive and there is nothing subtle about exploration hints which makes the whole thing feel both hamfisted and pretentious (use of sound to emphasize what is already obvious is near-painful). Gameplay is good for western standards but the aforementioned reliance on dodging and the 30fps under which the game runs never adds fluidity to combat, you always feel as something is hampering your character.
Color palette puts strain on the eyes and the boss battles are pretty simplistic affairs, one in particular looks like Artorias-lite and there's nothing to do when environmental destruction is concerned, nothing meaningful. When art design is this poor, the world can hardly feel enticing.
>>332661771
Oh shit, I thought the 4 half triangle things were all I needed but I couldn't get to the "last" one.

See? There it is again.
Virtually every single non-100% positive, even remotely critical comment is immediately blasted so others will be more likely to disregard it.
Yeah, there's shitposters and shill accusations (fairly enough), but in general there is no comparable level of backlash to pro-"this shitty game" comments.
If this were an organic discussion I would expect at least some degree of anti-pro"this shitty game" remarks, especially given the outstanding amount of anti-anti"this shitty game" remarks.
>>332661917
Yep, 8 in each area total, NPC points out 4 of them for you, which is the minimum needed to go hit the boss.
>>332661293
Stop letting one shitposter get you so mad.
Is the gun supposed to be this awkward to use in combat?
>>332661948
Why would people visit a thread and post about a game they don't like? You have to keep that in mind. The topic of the thread is going to attract more people that like the game than people that dislike the game, would you agree with that?
For all I know, maybe people are shilling, but seriously consider that you might be wrong.
>>332661859
While I disagree with you, I have to commend you for not being a shitposter that whines about some tweets on twitter or making outright lies about the game.
Godspeed to you anon
>>332661948
Fuck you retard, point to any fucking good criticism or discussion about the bad parts except for the anon I replied to.

>He hasn't found any of the invisible platform secrets

They could also do that same thing on Reddit or Neofag or whatever, not have to hide behind anonymity because piracy and shitflinging aren't allowed there.
Like seriously is this just some inside joke I'm missing? "Oh yeah, people TOTALLY shill here! We're so important!"
>>332662179
I actually liked the demo way back when but the game itself fells like a dissapointment. In particular its attempts at 'show don't tell' storytelling which still manages not to show much due to team's visual incompetence. Tons of poor direction too when the camera is taken from your hands and tiresome scripted moments that even repeat the same animations so you feel like the game is tripping you.
>>332662349
I was leaning towards S&S but you mind telling me why specifically? I mean I could afford both but there's less than two weeks until DSIII

It may surprise you to know that when you're marketing your game, you generally limit your outreach if you limit yourself to one site.

>>332662469
I personally like the "Show don't tell" stuff and I like the design personally. I can understand why you dislike it though, not to mention that the game can be pretty fucking cryptic, especially in the beginning.
It took me a little while to understand how the currency worked for example and while I enjoyed exploring and finding that out, I imagine plenty of people will dislike how so little is explained when it comes to how the game works.
I can agree with the repeated animations and scripted moments though, I had one repeat itself when I entered the area past a boss I had already defeated for a second time.
>>332662596
>>332662717
>There are people that seriously does not realize what shitposting is or how dedicated shitposters can be
I mean fuck, we've had people shitpost about Undertale for months, and they will keep doing it because they know how easy you fags get triggered by it and similar things.
>>332662578
Oh, so they're shilling in multiple places? For hours? And they got their friends to do it too? After the game got plenty of press anyway?
Have you ever considered that you're delusional?
>>332662717
okay pretty sure Indie devs for 500.000$ games have a research facility and the spare money for this kind of stuff
no anon you are not paranoid about the wrong kind of people
>>332662997
>Have you ever considered that you're delusional?
Have you considered you're a fucking idiot, and there's nothing inherently delusional about any of those claims?

>>332662975

>>332663260
Well shit, maybe, you know, if Heart Machine actually made it an option for backers.
>>332662997
I don't think you've ever developed a game, much less had experience in marketing one. Suffice it to say, the process is more tedious than simply making a post on Reddit and sitting back. You have to consider the different demographics that come to each website, how much interest they may have in your game; you have to consider the change in demographics based on timezones; you absolutely won't reach a level of maximum saturation of awareness with one or two posts. A game getting the odd article or two means nothing more than a small short-term spike of traffic, if the people reading those articles are even interested in your game; you'll need to network hard, without it coming off as 'fake' or slimy, to receive multiple articles from the same sites to sustain long-term interest.
>every purple piece in the fourth world is guarded by its own unique mini boss
neat
>>332663381
>who doesn't have the same money as EA,MS,
You stupid fucking bastard. You apparently think that paying one guy to post on 4chan for a few hours is equally as expensive as making a multi-hundred thousand dollar TV advertisement or similar types of marketing available to AAA companies. The very fact it's an Indie title is more evidence FOR the possibility it may be being shilled, rather than against. Shilling is arguably more likely to be employed by companies with low budgets precisely because of how cheap it is compared to other forms of advertisement.

That's a lot for an indie game.
I've been in a terrible mood all day and this game actually managed to cheer me up. A little simple but the game's good fun, especiallyfor free
>>332663209
I admittedly do not remember loud audio cues, but that's most likely because I wasn't paying attention and not using headphones. Gonna have to keep that in mind when I play later.
That they seem insecure is probably correct, as in they probably didn't feel confident that their visual design would convey things as clearly as they might wish.
>>332663945
You can get there by burning health pots every 4th or 5th platform, you just can't get back unless you have at least 4 pots on hand.

>>332664243
There's that bit right at the end of the tutorial where you get on the edge of a cliff and see the city in the distance and it's certainly not enough, music has to amp up to underline the moment. And then instead of making your way to the city, the game bogs you down into a scripted wobbling and you wake up right in the middle of fucking thing.
