alright fine you faggots shilled it hard enough, gonna pirate it right now
I just bought it, having a blast. Hope this can last me until DaS3 comes out.
The music is beautiful.
>>332722721
Use that for your next thread.
is this thing doable with no upgrades or do i need the chain dash
orb man
post webms
I'm still pretty early in the game (I haven't cleared any particular area yet, but I've made a lot of progress in the eastern section).
I only have one of the yellow upgrade "circuits" (acquired by finding 4 yellow cubes/whatevers) so I don't have enough to upgrade anything, but I was just wonder what I should upgrade first?
Also, where do I find more of the yellow cubes? I have 5 total, so one full yellow circuit and one extra cube. Thanks for any help.
>Gamemaker
So is that opening cutscene pre-rendered or in engine ?
I only have a sega saturn USB pad. Is that useable or do I need twin sticks?
>>332722939
I cheesed it with health packs
Still don't really get it
>>332723105
Here's me getting fucked
>that one room with all the crystal spikes you have to chain dash through
God I am shit at this.
>>332723180
Wave dash
>>332723180
Also: you know how you can change your little companion/follower in that house that you started out in? What is the difference between the three choices? I was using the yellow one for a while but I switch to the blue/pink one with the full bottom, yet I haven't noticed any difference between the two.
>>332723180
First upgrade should definitely be the chain dash from the dashing shop.
A good second upgrade is the dash attack from the sword shop.
Find more cubes by looking in places that look out of place or strange. They tend to be well hidden.
Just beat the fucking Bird Man fucker.
God that was miserable without having infinite dash.
Then I realized that there was a side area in the library with another crystal that would have allowed me to upgrade to the dash before the fight.
Oh well, at least I beat him.
>>332722721
Is a 60fps mod feasible, /v/?
>>332723318
You only need the left stick, at least on the xbone controller.
>>332723286
wanna say it's rendered in engine but m8 it reminds me of something out of the twilight zone
why can't I dash through bullets after getting the upgrade? Did I misunderstand what that does?
>>332723594
Maybe for the camera, but all the sprites have frames designed only to run at 30fps.
>>332723105
This is straight up the Ganondorf boss fight at the end of OoT
So is there anyway to script through the dashing room. I want to see what's behind the second door but I can only get to around 500 going around in circles.
>>332723774
Yeah it would be for the camera and the movement of objects, not animations.
>>332723473
Wait, what? You can change the litle robot bug thing that flies around with you?
>>332723623
if you dig in the game files you can find the intro as a webm so it's probably pre-rendered
scythe boss
Is there any way to refill your potions all at once, or do you have to always scavenge for them?
I feel like I'm missing some obvious "rest at the bonfire to refill your estus" mechanic, but charging the warp points refills your health but doesn't refill your potions
>>332723774
the sprites are not animated at even close to 30 frames per second.
>>332723971
Yeah in the room where you first "wake up" after being attacked by the machine thing at the beginning. There's a container on the north wall that has three different followers in it that you can choose from. They don't seem to be any different from each other, though, aside from appearance. I'm going to go ahead and assume that I just haven't figured them out yet.
The game is fun but I hate how dashing goes off your mouse instead of WASD, so I'm going to wait until they patch it. Feels so god damn bad that way.
>>332723841
It's a purple costume.
So has anyone figured out the story yet
So, is this a rougelike/dungeon crawler?
>>332722721
>2016
>30 fps cap
and i was pretty excited for it
where is the light crystal in the dungeon to the north of the crystal forest warp point? I found the one in the bloody room and the one to the left of the warp, but i can't find it in the room indicated on the map.
>>332724579
Hi Vaati!
Moving onto a new soulslike, I see.
>>332722939
You need the chain dash.
>>332725053
More like LttP with guns and dashing.
>>332724579
northern point's story seems to be that the ruins were once a peaceful bird people monastery but violent heretics took over and burnt the fuck out of the place. And then you fight a bird stack wizard.
>>332725126
Wait, seriously?
>>332722721
>played for about an hour
>beat bird boss
>now in crystal area
This game seems pretty boring, especially when considering the open cutscene which was done so well.
>>332722939
Chain dash or healthpacks out the ass
archer bossthe sword deflect skill makes the game too easy
I don't get how Chain Dash works.
Do I need to time it perfectly or something?
I'm using a 360 controller and I'm having trouble with it. Can anyone help?
>>332725324
yup its hard capped and tied to the physics. so no modding it either.
>>332725194
Where do you get the blue cloak?
>>332724031
>scythe throw doesn't even spin, just a still frame with some visual effects
Fuck Gainax and everything they've done to ruin animation.
>>332725053
No it ain't, thankfully. It's more like LoZ meets Boktai meet Megaman Zero.
>>332725439
Try tapping the A button as soon as you hear the sound effect
What are those rhombi figures on the world map?
Inside dungeon/instance it usually shows you location of your goal.
>>332725469
Chain dash 800 times in a row in the dash shop :^)I'm not kidding
>>332725439
Yes, you need to time it. The first two dashes or so are slower than the ones following it. You hit dash as soon as you're finished with the previous one.
So how many laps and/or dashes do you need, and what the fuck is the reward?
700 and a gun?
>>332725637
800, and an alternate purple costume
its just one of like 14 other costumes
pic related
>>332723105
Which direction is he in? I went north then upgraded so my hits reflect projectiles.
>>332725637
pic related, i'm stupid
what's the blaster from the berserker boss (West) good for? It does the same two damage as the rifle but without the piercing.
>he actually purchased this game made by sjws instead of pirating it
>Can only chain dash 40 times in a row before I fuck up
Jesus Christ
>>332723572
Yeah i went north first because i thought the game wanted me to. I went in no upgrades and I died like...10 times before I beat him.
>>332724031
Sick going to get this on sale
>>332725752
he's a miniboss in the south
you cant go south till you beat north, east, and west
>>332725756
I'M GUNNA POUND MY FACE INTO A FUCKING WALL RAAAAAA
I get this game is supposed to be challenging but fucking hell I keep sliding out when I feel like I'm keeping a pace and it's driving me insane. I don't even give a shit about the cape I just want to do it to say fuck you to the game now.
is there any way to make the sword do more damage or increase your health? these bosses make me feel like i'm bruteforcing my way through the game
Just finished the first boss, that teleporting bird one. I'm glad I got the chained dash upgrade eforehand, because it made the fight quite fun. I didn't even mind that it took half an hour. Which should I do next? Pepe?
>>332725912
Are you telling me the western boss drops a gun?
WHAT
i never picked that shit up, can you post a screenshot?
>>332724551
Its weird with a controller as well. He never goes straight, he always goes to the side a little.
>>332725975
This is more frustrating that dodging lightning in FFX.
>>332726081
Truly?
How do I get the white cloak?
Also, what the fuck am I missing here?
>>332725145
Is that in the north section? I've completed that area 100% as far as I know, except for the door with the key on it which I cant get in apparently.
Let me ask: did they include any stupid guest characters from other games?
>>332725975
I'm having the same problem. I get a good rhythm going and then I just slide out for what feels like no reason.
>>332726152
Bottom left corner, maybe.
>mfw fighting the final boss
holy fuck
>>332726081
It's just a pain in the ass to keep up for so long I phase out after 150 and wipe out around 300. There's sadistic then there's this.
I got some new item apparently. When I got it, a message popped up telling me to go home to switch my gear. I warped home but I don't know how to switch the gear. How do I do it? Whenever I go in to the tab inventory, I can only switch my gun. Which I only have one of.
>>332726152
You need the railgun to shoot that red pillar, a pistol wont work
>>332725948
Yeah it was miserable. I was about to call it quits for the night but then I caught on to the timing of the birds attacking which helped a lot.
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/03/31/hyper-light-drifter-impressions/
>Game is too hard
wew!
>>332726316
nvm I got it.
>>332726259
I used to play osu all the god damn time man this shouldn't be happening. I was so confident of myself going in but now I realize, I'm this game's bitch for the night
Where the fuck do you find the corner pieces
>>332726265
That last boss was pretty fuckin great. Honestly all the bosses were great, I just wish the game were a little longer. Hopin there's another boss if you 100% it, gonna do that for my second playthrough.
>>332726423
Literally just beat this boss.
Writer needs to git gud.
Once you learn the boss's patterns, its pretty manageable. I was getting my shit slapped around for a while until I took a second to think about why I was dying so much.
>>332725610
Isn't that the purple one? That one looks blue.
>>332726423
In his defense that's a pretty hard bossfight. I was starting to get frustrated before I finally started to play it more methodically
so how long is the game? i heard two hours but i feel as if I'm being tricked
>>332726361
Hard part for me was timing the dashes when he would do the AoE attacks, rather than the ones that follow you around. Lack of chain dash made it way harder. I was getting frustrated because I was recording it for upload and now I have to upload it and be shamed or edit it out like a pussy.
Also, anybody happen to know why I cant enter the door with the four triangles to the right of the giant pillar area in the north? There is another door further down from the one in question, which only has 3 triangles, which is how you get to the boss. But the other door wont open.
>that ending
I did it guys.
>>332726918
It is april fools, after all.
>>332726918
Seems like reports are coming in for around 6 hours.
wow, now I took damage during the elevator animation, I guess because I fell off right when it started? I'm just about ready to refund
>>332726918
just beat it, took me 11 hours, it's a very good game
thats without 100%ing everything
>>332726423
Why is every video game writer a vagine?
>>332726918
I hear its anywhere from 4-10 hours.
I just beat the first boss and I'm 2 hours in. I imagine, with the way the map is laid out, there's 3-4 more bosses so I imagine the game is closer to 8 hours long but maybe the bosses get easier as it goes.
>>332727025
Yeah I was streaming so my friend could watch and now he's uninterested in the game because he said the boss fights look miserable.I beat the boss right after he went offline.
Also, I'm pretty sure you don't have the fourth triangle. The boss fight didn't give it to you or lead you to it.
>>332726828
Im betting there will be some DLC. Although, it took them a while to get this game out and it is pretty damn short. How many people does heart machine have?
>>332726884
It is the purple one, and it does look blue.
I'm told there's a separate one that's -actually- blue, so maybe that one's light blue?
Regardless it looks fucking swanky with the gold sword and droid thing
>>332726918
It took me 11 hours, but apparently the dev team are a bunch of fucking jews and cut a bunch of content that they promised was going to be in.
There's 4 areas but apparently there were supposed to be an additional 2(stretch goals) and a couple extra bosses
whatever, still not a bad game but shame on the devs if they didnt meet their kickstart goals
>>332727370
Is there a list of unlockable clothes and shit somewhere? That setup looks nice.
And do I need any upgrades other than the chain dash to get to 800?
Is this releasing on any consoles?
>Game crashes at 100 dashes
I have a legit steam copy. Was it ever fixed?
>>332727257
I believe I have four...When it fills the slots it fills all four, or maybe I dont understand what this game is trying to tell me ever, which is also true.
>>332727543
"Consoles Coming Soon 2016"
>>332726423
>Couldn't get past the first fucking boss
Good lord. I had a rough time with him, myself, but I managed to figure it out and embrace the speed after a few tries.
>>332727027
>>332725756
i just started this game, how do you even get to do anything in that room? am i supposed to come back later? i fucking hate this "no game mechanics are explained" meme
>>332727509
Nope, just the chain dash.
I saw someone post an opinion tier list and blue was separate from purple.
So far, that makes default red, purple, blue, gold, white, and (actual spoiler)the cloak, robot and blade of the veteran drifter that marks your map whenever you meet him
>>332727605
That one needs 8.
>>332727543
Yeah with a date of "2016"
It'll probably be out in a month or two on consoles
>>332727605
Oh, I vaguely remember someone earlier saying that you need the other parts to make a square. I'm not sure though, I could be wrong.
>>332727169

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-03-28/top-german-journalist-admits-mainstream-media-completely-fake-we-all-lie-cia
>>332727626
It actually explains game mechanics just fine, you just don't have the upgrade that you need in order to do anything in that room yetdummy.
>>332727714
Time to go try this chain dash thing. :^(
>>332727626
just keep playing, you receive enough information to keep you going.
The game consist in a central hub and 4 directional paths, it's easy to explore so don't get discouraged.
Also it's better if you find everything yourself.
Also explore a lot, even if you die, punishment for dying isn't that harsh.
>>332727836
>>332727803
ty gamers, will do
>>332727817
My thumb started hurting after 500. Fuck this. I'm going back to comfy pixelshit exploring.
>>332726828
How do you use the dash shield? Doesn't seem to be working for me
Does the game stutter for anyone else? I'm getting a headache playing it.
>>332724431
I see the little dudes but there's no interact icon
Am I doing something wrong?
guys i ran through this area like 3 times and can't find the thing
(west #3)
i know it has something to do with going in a cell but i tried every cell i saw and none led anywhere
>>332728018
It also has small black borders all around. It's not really fullscreen.
>>332728018
You talking about the microstutter when you move? Its because the framerate is locked at 30.
Other than that, my only real complaint is that as beautiful as the art is, the perspective can be a little shit. Sometimes its too colorful to actually tell where you can walk, or if something is behind or in front. It gets a little bit convoluted, but it looks great while doing it.
>>332728068
run through the wall in the top rightmost cell
>>332727836
>Also explore a lot, even if you die, punishment for dying isn't that harsh.
Dying is such a bitch in this game. Insta-deaths everywhere and having to fucking wait 15 seconds every time I die for the stupid revive animation is retarded.
Why can't more games learn from super meat boy and stop wasting my fucking time
Shitty keyboard dash isn't helping I need to fucking buy a controller already
How long is this game?
does the heavy slash do more than 1 damage, or does it just hit more enemies?
>Undertale 2.0
No thanks.
So is it worthy of a purchase?
What does NG+ do exactly? I've beaten the game and see the option in the menu but it asks me to choose a save file, and choosing the save where I beat the game asks if it wants me to overwrite it, which brings out a natural fear in me I never knew I had until now.
>>332724031
I don't remember fighting this guy, where do you find him?
>>332728191
i know but where are the cells you're talking about? either i'm retarded or what i think the cell is doesn't have a runthroughable wall
>>332728068
it's a cell in a semi-hidden area. It's to the right of the ice giant who is initially obstructed by blocks. You have to find the switch to get those down, somewhere left of that area.
>>332728379
oh i know where that is. i didn't know the blocks ever came down. gonna go try that, thanks
>>332728283
:^)
you've done it again!
>>332728361
are you even in the right dungeon
theres like two or three dungeons in the west region
>>332728180
I didn't know 30 fps caused microstutter/jitter (inconsistent framerate). I've played plenty of 30 fps games that had consistent frametimes. This game is jittery as fuck. It's almost unplayable to me.
>>332728283
hoooow?
>>332728356
I'd argue yes, even if it's much, much later.
>>332728283
In what way?
>>332728252
Heavy slash does 2 damage, I believe
>>332726918
I finished mine in 5 hours, and I wasted a lot of time dicking around trying to find those 2 fucking triangle pieces in the western area. Fuck that was dumb.
>>332728379
>>332728457
i got it
thanks guys
how do I change gear? I remember the prompt coming up saying to teleport to the town to change gear, but I don't actually know what buttons to press.
>>332726241 here again
Anything? Or did nobody get far enough yet?
>>332727969
So the projectile shield is kind of dumb/buggy. Far as I can tell the way it works is predicting if there's going to be a projectile in your path, and only activating the shield if there will be. But the detection is shitty. Dashing straight at a projectile generally doesn't work, but if you skirt kind of around one it'll turn on and negate it, it's fucking bizarre.
Given that, the projectile reflect sword upgrade is far better just due to reliability.
Also the game definitely has a slight memory leak. After having it on for about 7 hours it started chugging a bit, and restarting the game fixed it right up.
God as much as I like this game I really hate the fucking people who post about it.
You people make me cringe really hard.Also the second half of the opening was completely unnecessary and could have been expressed through gameplay.Also this is becoming a general.
>yfw there's animation canceling
>>332728625
Like what? What would that even change from gameplay perspective?
>>332728252
>>332728502
Heavy Slash does 5 damage and only takes a third of your stamina bar, it's fucking amazing.
>>332728356
The game is DEFINITELY worth playing. Worth buying? Idk, depends on your principles. From what I have heard by some random people they didnt fulfill some of their kikestarter goals, which is fucked up. Also SJW.
But the game itself is great.
Any tricks to chain dashing? My record so far in the practice room is only 14
>>332728356
>made the same fucktarded mistake as nuclear throne
No.
>>332728716
Well that wasn't the webm I meant to post to demonstrate, you can kill those sword guys in the forest in one hit with it.
>>332724579
Evangelions started a war with the furries but then killed themselves when they saw the new rebuild film.
Is the boss in the west supposed to drop a weapon like the other two?
He didn't drop a gun for me.
I've played for a bit and have some criticisms:
>Opening cutscene was pretty much unnecessary. A lot of it could have been gameplay instead of a cinematic, and we all know cinematics are just lazy.
Aaaand that's it.
Cool game.
>>332728835
how do you use this? is it an upgrade?
>>332728689
I'm just curious that's all.
Mostly since HLD was in every fucking indie-shitter game ever before it was released.
>>332728841
nevermind im an idiot i got the gun
>>332728470
Not entirely sure its literally caused by the 30 FPS directly, but more factors at play.
Mine does it, i noticed it, it may not necessarily be microstutter but thats the closest descriptor I have. Its jittery, like you said.
I think it has something to do with the fact that most computers these days could blast through this game no problem at 200+ frames. I dont know, Im not a tech genius, but Im sure if it was running at 60 it would be fine.
>>332728660
Is there something wrong with people talking about the game/posting webms of it?
>>332728932
Yeah it's the top sword upgrade, costs 3 currency.
>>332727963
I just got it. I had to use the keyboard, though. Once I turned off the music and got a nice rhythm it was cake.
Why in the hell do I have to wait 10 seconds after dying to get moving again? That's just absurd.
>>332728836
kek
>>332728356
Nah, the game is shallow like a motherfucker
Mook combat is boring as fuck and most of the bosses are pushovers (especially the ones at the end of the game where you're certain to have the shotgun)
>>332729082
Niceee.
>>332728623
Go to the house you wake up in. At the top, there's a wardrobe on the right, and two microwave looking things on the left and middle for your robot, sword, and cloak.
Also, I did some backtracking and found another corner piece. I adore how much hidden stuff there is in this game.
>>332729059
>Is there something wrong with people talking about the game/posting webms of it?
Yeah. The inherent lack of self awareness and the absence of any real discussion on what the purpose of the game is before just going forth and saying "le it's fun xD" and "look how cool it looks :OOOOO" and post webms that don't give context or are substantial in any way.
It's just tautology: the thread.
>>332724579
the 4 races started a war with each other
they turned their evangelions on each other
they all got BTFO and started the happening because they all had to unleash their ultimate weapons to kill the enemy evas

>>332729315
The purpose of the game? What the fuck are you even looking for, the purpose is entertainment, like all video games.
>>332729424
not him but I would guess shitty pixel art. Cant tell what the fuck is going on.
>>332729315
Except this thread is mostly people talking specifics about the game and getting help.
Do you have somewhere else you can go because you seem like a real whine ass.
>>332729442
>>332729496
I guess I just hate this incredibly boring phase of a game's life time where people are again, doing nothing but saying the same thing over and over because we're just waiting for everyone to finish it before having any real discussion. Sorry, it's just cringeworthy to me.
>>332729464
Fuck off, get off of this board and play videogames if you don't want to maturely discuss them and only see them as a form of shallow entertainment.
Is steam screenshotting working for anyone? For some reason I can't take screenshots.
I couldn't even do print screen, I just got the splash screen when I tried. Had to go windowed to get this.
>>332729315
Not one to call people autistic.
But, you seem to genuinely have some form of autism, or some serious case of anger issue.
Go get help.
>>332729315
>stop having fun
back to rebdit
Something about the color pallet in this game makes it hard for me to look at
>>332729648
No, it's not that I'm autistic, it's just that again, this part of a game's life cycle is boring to me.
I've just done it so many times with so many games in the past, there's no difference between any of them.
The juicy part of discussing a game is when people have completed it and are ready to have a real discussion on it.
>>332729710
I never said that. Oh and it's also because of people like this, they're really annoying and mostly only here during these kinds of threads because they haven't matured long enough to keep their attention in one place.

God damn, what a shitty ending.
>>332729826

>>332729823

>>332729579
Is Gone Home your favorite game? Are you expecting this game to push some agenda? It's got a fairly thinly veiled plot that really just isn't that important. I've really got to agree with >>332729496 about your whine-assery.
>>332729823
Then perhaps don't post/read the threads if you don't like them?
>>332729826
There's a memory leak, you probably just needed to restart your game to get the framerate to unshit itself.
If I had to sum up the art style of this game I'd say it's like a Chinese bootleg Fez.
>>332729887
Don't expect any revelations or explanations, you'll be just as clueless as you were coming into this
>>332729826
That's a shame to hear if true, was interested in buying this.
Friend offered me a free copy, but I declined it thinking I'd like to support the game. Think I'll take the free copy though.
>>332729892
never mind i got that one, any others nearby?
>>332729892
>>332729914
>then why are you here?
Because I haven't come to this realization until now. I'll be leaving.
>>332729914
No, my favorite games include Killer 7, La-mulana, Silent Hill 2, Thief, etc games that have actual depth and complexity. Gone Home is incredibly shallow and lazy for not only having a lack of gameplay but fails to compensate for it.
>all of this cut content

>no robot boss
>no mech driving
>none of this fucking shit in the trailer is in the final game not even the cutscene where the giant robots open their eyes
Who can we blame for this? Zoe Quinn?
>>332729579
I'm sorry /v/ isn't intellectual enough for you.Oh wait, no, I'm not.
>>332729969
The entire game is "original design donut steal" "homages".
>>332729823
>>332729579
>>332729892
>>332729892
Some other anon here, what the hell are the tablets with code on them? Did anyone try to decipher them?
>>332730063
> not even the cutscene where the giant robots open their eyes
that's in the intro though
also I was surprised you never get to fight any evangelions.
>>332730063
See now here's a legitimate set of complaints, there is a decent deal in that trailer that just seemingly isn't in the game, unless unlocking 100% has a LOT of content behind it.
>>332730063
I just want my damn survival co-op mode where you have a shared health pool
>>332729971
I don't see a problem with that.
>>332729214
This along with the shitty keyboard dashing ruined the game for me.
>>332730063
The crossover stuff got cut too as far as I know.
For anyone that doesn't know yet:
The 800 chain dash minigame is easier than it looks, you don't have to dash in circles at all
Switch to kb+m controls if you've been using a controller
Use your mouse to position the aiming reticle roughly in the center of the top or bottom path, or anywhere you won't hit a wall
Mash Spacebar in the right rhythm to keep the chain going (or rebind it, I found it easier on a normal key)
It's still a bit tricky and tedious to get all the way to 800 but it's doable
>>332729214
>Why the hell am I being punished for losing?
>market a game around giant robots and evangelions
>literally do nothing at all with giant robots
the marketing for this game is so fucking deceptive its disgusting
its like they sat down and said "we want the anime audience"
>>332726918
I just beat it at 5 hours.
I'd say it's about 4 hours if you're a super pro gamer. 6+ if you're a retard.
>>332730384
There's nothing wrong with deceptive marketing. Just look at MGS2.
>>332730274
what crossover stuff?
>>332730130
Seriously, is no one intrigued by those weird light up tablets?
>>332722892
doing the same , but was interested in hld for a long time , just hope it lasts till dark souls 3
>win the stupid soccer minigame
>get nothing for it
fug this game
So is the story 3deep5me or what? I didn't understand shit.
>>332729298
the extra corner pieces are unmarked on the map? I figured you would backtrack for them. I wonder what could be behind the full doors to make it worth all that work
Just whupped the bird king. I did his area first and at first worried this game would be too easy. Then I started the dungeons. Holy crap the blade dash decapitates things on a kill. Plus the 500 chain dash challenge is killing my arm.
>>332730407
This is a good estimate if you are doing the bare minimum to get through the game. My final play time was 8 and a half hours, but I cooked in the middle and did some chores, so I think it was closer to 7, and I did about... 50% of the available stuff in each region probably.
>>332730509
Think just nobody knows what the fuck they do yet.
>>332730562
No, it's just intentionally vague and obtuse. The worst kind of story.
HOW DO I UNLOCK COSTUMES??
Where do you and how do you get this chain drifting thing? I'm almost to my second boss and have zero upgrades whatsoever. Got a neat shotgun at least.
>>332730662
I'd like to think it just isn't important, or is better explained if you 100% it, but you're probably right. They're probably going for a EVEN MORE MINIMALIST THAN DARK SOULS LORE feel and are probably feeling oh so clever that nobody 'gets it' yet.
>>332730620
They probably unlock more content or some shit, but we probably have to do some code breaking. Did anyone see a key while playing? If someone can post the images I'm sure we can find vowels or some shit and dig into it
More backtracking.
One of two secret passages in the library in the north part has TWO pathways, one north and one south, both leading to gold upgrade pieces.
There's almost always clues. Shrubs or tiles on the floor or suchlike indicating that you can go into the wall.
>>332730772
Where did you find a shotgun?
>>332730772
There are shops in town that use the yellow currency you've been finding. Chain Dash costs 3 completed yellow chips, and is in the shop on the right side of the north part of town, with the up arrows sign.
>>332729823
why are you blogging about completely normal things that you find boring
why are you demanding "mature discussion" from a thread of people working through an exploration game
>>332730472
There was supposed to be mini-dungeons/sidequests based off of Half-Genie Hero and Paradise Lost: First Contact.
>>332730845
Immediately after beating the frog boss. He's in the East. There's a dead guy lying on the ground in the area that opens up after you beat him, and the dead guy has a shotgun.
>>332730845
kill the frog boss
just cuck me up senpai
>>332730772
the hidden yellow dots you've been finding scattered in the world can be spent in town to upgrade your dash, sword, guns, etc
the dash shop has an awful minigame for one of the upgrades you buy
>>332730335
10 seconds is excessive. If they removed the post-death recovery animation (an unnecessary design choice imo) it would reduce to 5 seconds or so, which is perfect.
So is this game fun to play with my imouto?
stuck on west boss, only 1 health pack and start at 2 health
should i tp back to mid, go find some quick health packs, then run all the way back, or is there a better way?
>>332730562
i've only beaten north's birdstack and west's crystal raccoon warlord but so far it looks like giants showed up for some reason and each society has to resort to different lows to fight them.
peaceful bird people had to research some kind of dark, violent square magic
raccoons used bitchin railguns until the warlord and his knights came in with the corruptive crystals
drifter has a lung cancer b0ss and also sees twili for some reason.
>>332723330
that fucking room pissed me off so much, I suck at this game
>expect Evangelion
>get furries instead
>>332731034
Depends, how fun is you imouto to play with?
>>332731060
>should i tp back to mid, go find some quick health packs, then run all the way back
yes
that's this game's biggest flaw imo
it'd benefit a lot from replenishing your health and a portion of your health packs on death
mega where
>>332731187
very fun :3
>>332731259
Yeah, a bare minimum of like 3 health and 1 medpack would probably not be bad for the game to give you for when you get into those shitty situations. Or let you regenerate up to 3 health if you haven't been hit for quite a while, or something like that.
>>332730842
There's a THIRD secret wall next the the currency on the bottom path of that. It leads to one of those mystery tablets.
>>332731259
It's just another mechanic. You have to manage your resources heading up to a boss fight, you even have to manage the health you currently have, not just how many kits you have. If you run into a boss with 3 hp you're going to have to be extra careful to make sure you can get a heal off after you get hit. Or you can sacrifice a kit early for more wiggle room. If the game just gave you kits and health grinding bosses out would be much less interesting.
For those who didn't manage their health well enough, or aren't willing to overcome the challenge of beating a boss with what they have left, they're punished by having a long run back.
>>332727370
How do you change your sword and wingman's stuff?
Anyone notice that frogs are always evil in videogames?
>>332731443
game journo detected
I thought this game would hold me more than a day. Holy shit, I guess I need to read some books instead.
ok sort of a long shot
but some of the characters/atmospheres feel similar to wow to me
as in
the West feels like Dread wastes, the enemies are like klaxxi and you just replace amber with crystal
and north reminds me a LOT of arrakoa
there's even a "fallen" arrakoa who's friendly and the normal ones who are evil
I'm retarded. How do I open this door?
I got the other three diamonds in the north, and the last one appears to be behind this door, but I can't figure out how to get it open.
I'm tempted to pirate this game and buying it later (I'm kinda broke atm)
Don't care much about this sjw support bullshit, but all this cut content and vague plot talk are a major turn off for me...
Gameplay still seems fun though
>>332731768
Beat the north area boss.
>>332731598
1 medkit and 3 health is not going to let a shitter beat a boss.Also I already beat the game 8 hours after it came outalso health pack quantity upgrades are for pussies
I never actually got into a situation like that myself, but I can imagine it would suck.
>>332731835
Gameplay gets dull halfway through.
Doesn't help that enemy tracking gets even more brutal.
what the fuck went wrong with this game
pic related isn't even in the game, and it appears to be from a build where they actually used black borders to create proper pixel art instead of this bullshit style it's got going on now where nothing has a black border which fucks with the perspective and depth
now lets take a look at the shit they said was on kickstarter that isnt even in the game
>Defense System - A rechargeable Hard Light Diamond shield which offers total protection from attacks for a short burst of time. If timed correctly projectiles can be reflected back at enemies for extra damage. Can be upgraded to extend duration. (This shit is literally under "CORE MECHANICS")
>Multiplayer co-op campaign
>Boss rush mode
>endless survival mode
>black borders on the pixel art
>Rivan The Tamer Boss
>Another unnamed boss
>various enemies
>Bosses that people literally paid $1000 to be in the game that were never put in
>Two entire areas including ravenous mire and broken shallows
seriously go look at the kickstarter there's so much shit that's missing https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1661802484/hyper-light-drifter/description
Another problem I have with the game is that it doesn't have dynamic footstep sound effects.
The sound of the player walking sounds nice, but it doesn't change when you walk over snow vs over stone.
Something like that would definitely benefit the game.
>>332731937
YOU GOT SCAMMED BOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYY!
>>332731840
Ah, thanks. I thought I needed to get all 4 diamonds before the boss became available.
>>332728742
>From what I have heard by some random people they didnt fulfill some of their kikestarter goals, which is fucked up. Also SJW.
so in other words, you have no credibility whatsoever?
>>332731937
>this guy never made it in despite being on the kikestarter
>>332731937
>this guy never made it in despite being on the kikestarter
seriously though can we blame zoe quinn for this?
>>332731937
The diamond shield is in the game, isn't it? It's one of the dash upgrades.

>>332731937

Did the eva bait in the ads even mean anything?
>>332732036
>>332732095
>>332731937
Damn I backed this so long ago that I legit forgot all of this shit was in the kickstarter. Which I guess was good for me, since I wasn't disappointed by its not being there.
Hope they make some statement about a content patch or something, it would leave a pretty sour taste if all that shit just never happens.
>Game has dynamic music
>No dynamic sound effects

Although honestly the game is still great without that content.
Its worth noting that black borders on the pixelart were never promised.I don't know or believe you since I haven't beaten the game or discovered all the shit in this game.
>>332732187
Good those sprites were dogshit
>>332732321
No. You see Evangelions throughout the game and then the final level takes place in NGE's Geofront.
>>332731525
Fuck me, really?
Gets me wondering what they do. I bet SOMETHING happens when you get all of them, but what? Maybe that white cloak?
>>332732321
that's the worst fucking part
the eva suits are literally irrelevant to the story
>this guy didn't get in either
What are the pink dots on the map?
I'm really enjoying this game. Went to kill thesword dudeto the west, then did north. I'm exploring east now and so far my biggest gripe with the game is the map: it's absolutely and completely useless, might as well remove it and just keep the "you have still X shards to find".
>>332732454
>the eva suits are literally irrelevant to the story
fucking shocker
>>332722721
Is it out yet? Where's my key for my Bloodborne box?
>>332732497
I find the map extremely useful for figuring out where to go to be honest. Its not really good as a detailed map since it doesn't tell me exactly where pathways are but it does give me vague ideas of where I should be going.
>>332732476
dorito locations. get all the geocaches.
>>332732497
>map is more of just of the area than an actual usable map
>you can switch to an actual map mode that looks more like a map
>it's somehow even worse
these guys fucking suck at making maps.
after finding out about all the cut content i'm considering doing a credit card chargeback
those cucks at heat machine don't deserve my 17 dollars
how can all of this shit https://youtu.be/WKgLJiJYvY8?t=77 be in the game 2 years ago and still get cut?
they even cut the fucking soundtrack, there's like 6 songs in the entire game
>>332732778
entitled
>>332732618
It really doesn't though, to be honest. For example, right now I'm looking for a shard that I know is south because I saw it on a ledge but forgot to go back. When I open the map, it's located to the far, far east, miles from where I saw it.
Not very informative and confusing as fuck, especially considering that the underground map is even worse.
Why couldn't the map tell me my exact position instead of a generic "you are here... somehow"
>>332732804
dumb consumer
this game is false advertising
Wheres the save file location in the gog version?
>>332732752
That's the underground layer, I think.
Why would I ever want to dash towards where I'm shooting.
Why wouldn't I want to dash towards where I'm walking
What the fuck
Are gamepads fixed yet?
>>332733082
git gud
>>332733082
Use a controller x)
Protip: press down on the dpad to cancel revive animation
Also does anybody have proof of the devs being sjw? I keep seeing that term used for them and while they look trendy and hipstery I havent seen or heard them say anything political or controversial really (if the game is good who gives a shit but still im curious)
Also IF ANYONE IS GOOD AT GAMEMAKER PLZ MOD 60 FPS CAMERA ILL SUCK YOUR DICK AND IF YOU GIVE PO BOX ILL LITERALLY MAIL YOU 5 DOLLARS MUCH THANKS IN ADVANCE BASED ANON
>>332732778
What specifically from that trailer got cut? God, damnit, they had a fuckton of time to develop this shit. I didn't pay for some half-assed project. If the game's incomplete, it better be because Preston's health has fucked him.
>>332733437
Shut the fuck up with that bullshit.
>>332733193
Prove to me that these controls benefit the game before they benefit the player.
>>332733465
Like 80% of that trailer is cut. Bosses, enemies, mechanics, areas.
I just beat the game with KB+M. My hand is unusable, I can barely type thsi
>>332733437
one of the devs on twitter was spouting some sjw stuff, it wasn't the main dev though.
as for 60 fps i doub't it'll ever happen, the animations are in 30 fps to begin with and they wont magically have more frames animated if you put it in 60fps. Gameplay probably is tied to fps too so it would probably just run at 2x speed.
Reminder that sword cancels any gun animation
>>332733465
I'm not exaggerating, 90% of the things shown in that trailer aren't in the game
>the area at 0:41 was supposed to be a fifth place called the burning cavern
>the area at 0:47 was supposed to be the ravenous mire
>robot from 0:49 doesnt exist
>test tube area from 0:50 doesnt exist
>giant robots from 0:54 dont exist
>more burning cavern from 0:58 doesnt exist
>floating turret from 0:58 doesnt exist
>literally everything from 0:58 to the end isn't in the game including getting inside of the mini mech-suit
>>332733541
They are necessary for keyboard and mouse controls so that you can dash into more than 8 cardinal directions. If you play with a controller you just dash where you run. The magic of analog sticks.
>>332733437
Under special thanks is Anita, Zoe and Ashley Burch. There's also screencaps of one of the devs twitter but I didn't save them since I don't particularly care about a dev's political leanings, so long as it's not portrayed in a biased manner in the actual game.
>>332733437
>Also does anybody have proof of the devs being sjw? I keep seeing that term used for them and while they look trendy and hipstery I havent seen or heard them say anything political or controversial really (if the game is good who gives a shit but still im curious)
seconded, waiting for that proof
let's see it memelords
>>332733746
>kickstarter proof of concept trailer made before game development differs from finished product, Anonymous scared and confused
>>332733437
It's some teddie fag. The guy that started the kickstarter and all is named Alex Preston, and I haven't heard that he's posted any of that shit.
>we want the LTTP audience
>>332733746
That sounds like bullshit to me.
>>332733995
Isn't it wrong to make a trailer that is a >/=50% inaccurate representation of what you are trying to sell?
>>332733843
but even if it WAS postrayed with a huge bias, why would it matter if the gameplay was good?
are we really becoming so politically polar that we can't enjoy anything that doesn't align to our beliefs? Maybe it's just a side effect of getting older or watching the news more often.
>>332732106
Look at 1:04 in the trailer here: https://youtu.be/WKgLJiJYvY8
he walks through some turrets without taking damage
>>332731937
I've noticed a couple of kickstarter projects that had a lot of content missing on release which was then added on later. I'm guessing they just ran out of money and had to push it out and used sales to keep the thing going.
That said I've seen at least as many that just don't deliver at all.
>>332734274
>it sounds like bullshit to me hurr durr
then play the game yourself retard
>>332734274
nope, not at all.
See: almost every game that has a trailer/demo made more than 2 years before it releases
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ddJ1OKV63Q
So why is the main character blue again?
>>332734390
What? No, I'm not calling your claim bullshit, I'm saying the fact that that happened is bullshit. I guess I did improperly communicate that, though.
alright everybody listen up
this game CAN'T run at more than 30fps
not really 30fps, but however fast things are moving
let me explain
because the way game maker does pixel graphics is by drawing everything smaller and then scaling up the whole screen
so everything, even the camera moves by these chunky pixel increments
which means the smallest increment anything can move by is one of those huge pixels
now, for there to be more than say 30 of those movements in a second, you'd need something moving very fast and you wouldn't even notice it most of the time, since almost everything in the game is moving slower than 60 pixels per second. the animations have very few frames and are certainly less than 60 as well.
>long unskippable pointless cutscene before any gameplay
Great game.
>>332734516
>comparing a tech demo to a full blown trailer advertised as a finished product that is coming soon

da ba dee da ba die
>>332734632
they showed this at E3 genius - to potential customers to convince them to buy it when they finish it. It's promotional material, not just some dev wack off.
and yes, I'm defending "cut content" because "cut content" is a result of the creative process as a whole.
>>332734274
They promised a dash and slash game with pixel graphics. Not a specific lava cave level and what have you. The game looks and functions exactly how they said it would, those areas weren't "cut", they only ever existed in a video meant to show off what the game is gonna look and play like.
>>332734749
>advertise to your kickstarter backers that if they raise X amount of dollars you'll add in X feature
>don't add in that feature
>somehow you're defending this shit
anybody have the game open right now? Try doing a dash attack across a gap that you could normally dash across.When I do this, I fall through the ground on the other side and take damage.
>people gave heart machine $1000 to design a boss

>>332735147
I'm about to refund this shit RIGHT NOW, they didn't deliver WTF
>>332735412
It's still a great game, don't be so dramatic.
They're working on online now, so maybe other content will come soon. At least give them time to hear complaints and respond with something.
>>332735492
Nah, i'm with that anon. i'll get my refund now and if they do improve it, I'll just buy it again.
>>332734761
>They promised a dash and slash game with pixel graphics.
Why the hell did people invest in this when the product is so shallow in this regard?
Either you, the investor, were ripped off, OR:
That wasn't the planned direction of the game.
>Content patch release date; Early 2017
>Co-op release date: Late 2017
>>332735492
>so maybe other content will come soon
I highly doubt it. The developers don't interact with the fans. They have said nothing about not meeting the kickstarter goals.
>>332735605
>It takes 1.5 years to add another playable AI.
Right.
>>332735675
fucking co-op was in the game two years ago they had it working there's a video of it on youtube somewhere
why did they cut so much fucking content from 2 years ago
>>332735147
>extended intro cinematic was a stretch goal
I would have paid them to shorten that shit.
>>332735767
entitled
>>332734361
is the song in the game?
>>332735605
did they actually say this or am i being memed on
>>332735895
can't tell it's all the same ambient shit
This fucking part literally only exists to say "fuck you" to keyboard+mouse users.
What the fuck?
>>332735895no
I swear they cut the soundtrack too. The only song that stood out was the song that played during the fight with the bird boss.
Removing things isn't inherently bad, in many cases less is more. As long as the content presented in the kickstarters didn't compliment the finished product, I don't see the issue.
>>332725516
Why are you blaming Gainax for that?
What exactly am I missing here?
>>332736309
The issue is the cut content was stretch goals for the kickstarter.
>>332736419
All four corner pieces.
>>332734305
It'd be preachy and irritating, which would impact my enjoyment of the game. If they essentially put a mary/gary sue for their ideals and a strawman for contrary ideals it'd be annoying, even if it was my ideals that were being hugely biased in favor of. At best it's boring and something that could have been enjoyable gets blocked out and ignored, at worst it can ruin a game because you have to trudge through a bunch of other shit that's turning you off just so you can get to what you like (ie, the gameplay).
>>332736461
>corner pieces
??
>>332735147
Holy shit. Have they said anything about the cut content? I mean, at the very least, Burning Cavern and Sunken City need to happen.What if Preston is dying?
Okay guys, where is the bottom left corner piece at, for the top section?
I've found 3 or 4 rune tablet things, i got the 4 parts of the diamond, and I've got 3 corner pieces but I can't for the life of my find the 4th and I need to wake up for work in 4 hours
>backed this game because dev said it would have co-op
>no co-op or word from the dev on where it is
>>332736434
A handful of KS have stretch goal content patched in at a later date. Although, usually all the main game stretches are included in the initial release.
>>332736565
It's autism, forget it
>>332736654
>or word
They said they're working on multiplayer.
>>332735274
Start with all sword/dash abilities, black cloak, I think you have 2HP. NG Alt is you playing as an Anubis looking motherfucker, I think HP is 3, instead of sword he has some sort of beam attack.

Where did they say this?
I'm trying to like this game, I really am.
But man, fucking hell.
>Every area is FIND KEY PIECES TO OPEN DOOR
>Input lag out of the ASS on top of 30fps
That western boss would've been pathetically easy if my dashes didn't decide to suddenly stop linking together.
>>332736772
At your mom's house last night.
>>332736625
Same anon here
Also, where the fuck is whatever thing leads to this far right statue? Whatever is there may also be where the corner piece is
>>332736565
There's 4 hidden pieces that fill in the grey slots surrounding your filled in pink slots. Not necessary to complete the game.
Fuck this 800 dash challenge my hand hurts because of masturbating so much and I keep failing around 600 because my hand hurts is there some kind of keyboard macro out there to do this shit?

The only reason you're dashes aren't linking is because you're shit.
>>332736750
>Anubis looking motherfucker
How do you get the alt guy?
>>332724238
I think the potion spawns refresh after resting.
>>332737140
Sure thing anon, not like I couldn't get 454 on the dash-challenge and then suddenly it's too retarded to link three.
I'm not saying the game is hard, I haven't died to a boss more than five-six times, but it's annoying to play.
Just killed the frog boss, easy shit, but
What the fuck, man? What happened to the amazing shotgun from the preview build? All I got was a regular shotgun and it left me severely disappointed.
>>332737272
>only 454
Thanks for proving me right.
>>332737276
i suspect the preview shotgun is still in but you have to find it, there's like 6 weapon slots
i ended up liking that shotgun more though, it's OP as fuck, kinda ruins the game its so damn good
>>332737158
NG Alt, unlocked when I beat the game, same as NG+.
>>332737310
Only gave up because I got bored, not like there's a really tangible reason to do more.
But if you want to keep calling me a shitter instead of addressing the flaws then sure.
>>332737276
The diamond shotgun is_____cut_________
>>332737354
I don't have that option, just NG and NG+
>>332737403
>purple cloak not a tangible reason
Ok.

So much regret from backing this game.
OK, so I just beat the first boss (the bird motherfucker with a million AOEs) and all I got were praxis points. Was this optional? Where do I progress from here?
Also, are there any useless upgrades that I should be afraid of? I haven't upgraded anything yet.
>>332737607
>>332737557
Here's my map showing what I found, i.e. almost literally nothing.
Holy shit, this gamemaker game got 650k? Where the fuck did all that money go?
>>332737743
did you pirate?
>>332737697
That explains why they refused to release on Steam/GOG before the backers got their keys yesterday. Probably feel pretty guilty about not being able to finish the game and just wanted to do anything at all nice for them.
>>332737770
Bernie donations.
>>332737779Yes.
>>332737859
which did you pirate? i think the alt thing was some kind of kikestarter bonus
>>332737693
Yes. It's easier to aim guns with KB+M, but slightly more troublesome to aim sword strikes and dashes.
>>332737904
Just what I found on kat. I'm thinking after looking through the KS campaign that it's the $75-tier alternate drifter, which would explain why it's called NG Alt.
>>332737705
Don't upgrade health packs like a pussy
Focus on skill-based upgrades, like deflecting bullets
Get chain dash first, maybe charge attack second
That's kind of it
>>332738005
>want to play as alternate drifter
>dont feel like pirating it and beating the game again
suffering
>>332738084
Sorry m8, I thought it was just a part of the normal game, didn't think it was an exclusive thing
if you want to cheese the dash counter minigame change the controls to keyboard/mouse
place your mouse about half a dash away from your character
press space bar 1000 times
god this game's kb/m controls suck dick who came up with this shit
I keep seeing doors that need 'keys', but I haven't found a single key and I've killed two bosses so far.
!?!?
>>332722721
played for an hour and a half, finished 2 of 4 dungeons so far. game seems seriously short
visuals are beautiful though sometimes things just look like blobs of pixels and you cant quite make out exactly whats going on but overall good. They didnt give a shit about m+kb because the cursor is hard to see and is obscured in dark areas
combat is fun, fluid, and satisfying. It's easy to switch up a combo for a move that suits the situation and you find yourself using a variety of moves to adapt to changing situations. Monsters while simplistic arent completely stupid so you have to remain active or approach cautiously.
however the dash thing feels clunky to use mid-fight until you get the attack dash upgrade and it feels clunky to use for platforming as well. theres an unlock that requires you to get a dash chain of like 800 or something and thats fucking dumb
the bossfights are a disappointment and play almost like a MMO boss with how many of the attacks have telegraphs on the ground
levels are mostly prettly linear. secrets consit of a)slight piece of walkable path sticking out of forest, b)tiny ledge or c) invisible platforms, which are retarded. theyre easy to find and shit like the invisible platforms just shows how out of ideas they were for hiding secrets.
if you die you just respawn in the same room and can instantly retry. or thats why i thought but it puts you at the last save, but it autosaves every room so its still fucking stupid. game also throws health items at you constantly
tldr
exploration isnt much, levels are linear, decent combat, shit bosses, shit dash, shit no-consequence respawns.
>>332738340
Look harder.
>>332738005
>>332738201
Which one did you use?
>>332737276
A lot of stuff changed from the preview build, like heavy slash sucked in the preview, and those mech guys no longer have the shields (which is kinda weak)
>>332737697
haha god damn maybe they took so long to make a short 3 hour game in game maker so people would forget that these were stretch goals
spent all the money on getting the game on consoles ill bet
seriously though what a disappointment. plays like a free project rather than a $645,158+ project. actually holy fuck this is all that they accomplished with that money
this is like a polished game-maker tutorial game
>game stutters and handles like ass because of 30fps
Fucking dropped.
>>332727449
I wouldn't call jew just yet. They're more than likely doing the same thing Yacht Club did with Shovel Knight and adding the stretch goal content in later as free updates.
Probably for the best considering a stretch goal fucking no one wanted is what's delayed Mighty No. 9 three fucking times now, if Comcept is to be believed.
>>332726241
There's supposed to be a bonus quest with Risky Boots from Shantae for backers who paid over ten dollars, while the Drifter appears as part of side quest in Half Genie Hero. I don't think the Risky Boots quest is out yet though.
>>332727449
Did you find all the text tablets? What happens when you press the button here?
Oh and what do you get for winning the soccer match?
>>332739602
Not sure how they'll integrate things such as new dungeons and bosses into the game proper, but I have faith that they'll deliver.
>>332739841
Forgot the screenshot.
Where can you change your gun skin?
>>332740160
There are no gun skins, there are different guns. You get them mostly from bosses.
>>332740389
I thought there was a kickstarter reward for a golden robot buddy and gun..
>>332740504
it was cut lmao
>>332740160
there are sword, bot, and cloak skins
unlock them
change in your house
>forced to play with kb+m because controller drivers never install correctly post-reformat
AHHHHHHH
What's a good button to bind dash to? My Spacebar is being a nigger because I have a shitty ~$10 keyboard
Anyone know where the 1-key door to the East is? I found it, then I lost it and can't find it again.
>>332741121
Shift I guess
>beat East and West boss in 3 tries or less
>struggling to even get to north boss
What the tits.
What the appeal of this game? I can't tell what's going on from the screens because of the retarded pixelization.
Is it like the Dark Souls of Zelda games?
Well this is unfortunate, though I suppose it can serve as a warning for others: if you beat the game, then choose New Game +, but close the game before it reaches a place to auto save, your data is gone.
Least my first playthrough was not hardcore exploration.
So is the cut shit gonna be added later on similar to how shovel knight handled their extra goals?
>>332741740
It's a moody, minimalist Zelda.
>>332735147
wow
how fucking long would the game be if he only got 27k
fucking christ didnt even fucking add the literal second stretch
or anything that actually added to the game for that matter
>>332741740
cool colors
or a zelda clone that subscribes the shitty new school of imbalanced encounters balanced by death meaning instant respawn in the same room shit
>>332728485
If I were to guess it's because it's a good game that people will shitpost endlessly about, just look at the other thread >>332740942
>>332735147
I forgot how much this game made.
Jesus Christ, 1 million for something slightly better than a flash game. 2 fucking years late, and we only got a base game. Even the backer exclusives got cut.
Just beat the game.
I've only found one key total and five shards out of eight in each area, and I wasn't even rushing.
>>332735407
Where's the source of the content being cut and not being added in future updates, faggot?
>>332722721
>>332722893
>>332723330
What awfull pixel art.
WHAT THE FUCK
>>332742528

>>332742715
This was probably the easiest boss but fuck if it wasn't rad.
>>332742720
I still haven't beaten it yet. How long is "isn't too long m8"?
>>332742859
>almost never died
>I've been stuck here for almost 40 tries
I can't dodge through bullets, this is driving me insane, what the fuck are they expecting me to do?
>>332742926
Reflect them or use the projectile shield. They both trivialize the fuck out of the fight.
Alternatively, if you just stay on top of him and heavy slash every time he summons he never really gets to do anything but his 1 damage dash attack.
>>332742926
>I can't dodge through bullets
Isn't there an upgrade that lets you do exactly this?
Got Orange and Violet swords what are their properties? Or is just color?
>>332741121
Ah fuck it, I'm gonna give up on it. Feels very clunky and restricted with keyboard movement.Plus all the cut content doesn't sound like a good incentive to even become invested with the game.
Just left the village at the center of the map.
Where do I go?
Isn't the dev a massive anita dick sucker? I remember /v/ shitting on this game for a few threads because of it.
Good to see /v/ loves the game despite that.
>>332743096
You could go north, you could go east or you could go west.
But you can't go south.
>>332743096
Any of the four directions.Except South
>>332743127
One of em is a loud and proud twitter SJW, the team as a whole probably has a bend towards that given the Special Thanks section includes the notables (and Kanye West), but it really doesn't show up/affect the game in the slightest, so it certainly doesn't matter.
>>332738248I still can't get above 100
>>332738248
Agreed, the kb+m controls are terrible. It works great with a normal controller but I'd discourage anyone from buying the game for PC if they aint got no controller
>>332731937
Content cuts are disgusting. Look at the trailer, most of this stuff isn't ingame.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKgLJiJYvY8
How do I buy upgrades or weapons? I don't understand what the money is
>>332743647
Each time you pick up 4 of the yellow chips they combine into a completed yellow chip, the completed chips are your currency that you spend in town at the shops with the big signs in front. Weapons are all found, except for the bomb at a shop specifically for it.
>>332742720
The game "isnt too long" if you consider killing 4 bosses as "beating the game".
You still have 32 shards 16 stone tablets and 10? keys.
>>332743971
yea except finding that shit is fucking BORING
they couldnt think of better ways to hide secrets than small path sticking out of trees or invisible platforms. and the levels themselves are extremely linear so exploring them looking for secrets gets tedious real fast
>>332742926
explore some more buy slashing attack that bounces bullets back. thats my guess.
>>332743971
WOW, anon, I fucking LOVE autistically collecting bullshit in games
Assassin's Creed 1 was the greatest game in the world! Collecting hundreds of fucking flags all over the maps was 10/10
I hope the devs add in more bullshit for me to run around pressing Y on instead of fulfilling all the kikestarter goals
Eat my ass, faggot
>>332744180
>>332745187

>>332743048

wew lad
>>332745187
>>332745372
>the length of the game is the length of the main quest line
medium kek
>>332745372
The game has a solid core that is a little short, the only real length is collectathon bullshit - if you don't like it, time to move on. Some people are up for it and appreciate that shit, and it's not like the devs spent all their money adding collection shit instead of actually making the game. Instead they were just incompetent.
>>332744754
Too bad they have zero relevance in the game
>>332745317
Sad. And what obelisk stones do? I activated 2 and it did nothing, just some spooky ghost appeared for sec
>>332745372
No, the fact that your first thought was fucking Assassin's Creed 1 when mentioning collecting was what gave you away, faggot.
Plenty of older games had secrets and shit to find and explore, Super Metroid being the most famous of them.
I'm sorry if you're too fucking underage to understand this.
>>332745552
Your point being?
>>332745686
>Plenty of older games had secrets and shit to find and explore, Super Metroid being the most famous of them.
When I think of bullshit collections in games my mind goes to ACs four hundred and fucking twenty flags
I'm sorry that your aspie mind can't handle that people have different memories to you
Don't eat too much glue, m8
>>332745965
>When I think of bullshit collections in games my mind goes to ACs four hundred and fucking twenty flags
Except the game doesn't have nowhere near that amount of "Collectibles", or do you consider 8 shards in 4 regions, along with like, 10+ keys to be "Too much" for your underage brain? Why the fuck did your retarded brain even link this with Assassin's creed if you weren't some underage faggot trying to act cool infront of your redditard friends by shitposting?
>>332745965
That maybe instead of whining about the game not being exactly what you want, you should perhaps move on to something else that is more worth your time and suited to your tastes? I don't see how this is a scenario you willingly put yourself in.
So, now that the trolls have left, how long is it?
>>332746164
5 hours if you're really rushing, 6-8 for a normal playthrough, still no real word on 100% exploration, though I'd guess something like 20-25 hours without any help.
>>332746164
Haven't beaten it yet and I'm at 10 hours.
Mind you, that is including me exploring and trying to find secrets. Defeated 3 bosses in 3 of the 4 regions, not sure how much longer the game is after that.
>>332746131
A pointless collection is a pointless collection.
Size is largely irrelevant.
But keep trying to win the argument with strawmans, I'm sure it'll work eventually!
>>332746149
>I don't see how this is a scenario you willingly put yourself in.
I wouldn't. Which is why I won't collect them all.
>>332746164
3h if you're not a casual
>>332746308
And yet here you are, wasting your time complaining about something that other people like.
As for the pointless nature of it, for all we know there's an alternative ending/boss. Some of us are interested enough to go for it. There probably isn't, but hey, long as you're having fun getting there, right?
>>332745609
>stuff that opens up new locations that help you understand what the fuck actually happened with this world
>zero relevance
>>332746308
You mean besides the fact that the said shards and keys allows you to find extra currency for upgrade, new weapons and potentially an alternate ending/boss?
>>332745671
There's a room with a wall that shows all 16 of the tablets. Once you have all of them - a button in the middle of the room becomes active. Dont think anyone knows what it does, cause so far noone bothered 100%ing the game.
>>332746273
How? I'm at 7 hours and I've already gone through the four regions, doing a lot of exploring. I've found 7/8 towers in the south, west, and east regions, and 4 in the north one.
For that matter, can you not find the rest until after going through the opened central region? I've gone through the entire eastern region again and I can't find anything new at all.
>>332746401
>wasting your time complaining about something that other people like
It's almost as if this is a board to discuss games!
I've spent a few minutes glancing at this thread while I watch a rather boring movie. I've hardly thrown away hours of my life.
>>332746459
>You mean besides the fact that the said shards and keys allows you to find extra currency for upgrade, new weapons and potentially an alternate ending/boss?
>spend hours searching for bullshit for minimal gain
yeah nah
>>332740521
>it was cut
>tfw I have it
???
>>332746634
Found a lot of the currency and shit, along with keys and obelisks or whatever they should be called. Haven't tried going south yet.
Pro tip for the Dashing mini-game: Do it with mouse + keyboard.
Because of the shitty mouse controls, you can put the mouse just slightly to the side of your character and whenever you press the dash button, you'll simply dash back & forth between two points. It essentially removes the risk of messing up your circle and smashing into the wall or flying out of the arena. Still have to time it right, though.
>>332746724
I've got 13 keys, four colour sets, and all upgrades except the gun ones so far. Currently got 4 spare upgrade blocks.
>>332746727
Are people finding it that hard? It only took me two tries, and I had the most difficulty getting the timing right for the second dash that starts the chain. It's not really difficult, just needlessly long and tedious.
>>332746639
So you essentially don't mind wasting your time on bad movies/message boards, but draw the line at collecting stuff in games.
Not that I can judge, I'm here too.
>>332746846
Nice humble brag, bro. I was having a hard time but that's because I've been playing the whole game with M+K. That's how I discovered that trick to warp between two points repeatedly.
>>332746906
>but draw the line at collecting stuff in games
One involves sitting back watching/shitposting and is generally quite easy
The other involves running around channelling my inner Autismo
Why doesnt the toad boss drop any cool loot? The bird and the cat dropped guns.
>>332747025Shootgun in next room
So is there a way to get all the corner pieces in every area, without having to get parts from other areas? So far I did north and east and I have 1 corner piece for each and 1 key for each as well as having unlocked a bunch of those giant stone tablet things that I have no idea what they're for.
>>332747024
Don't you want to channel your inner Autist? I mean, that's why I play games.
>>332747025
Isn't the shotgun behind the Toad Boss somewhere?
>>332746846
>>332747021
I just set turbo/toggle on xpadder to .25 seconds spacebar because I didn't want to deal with it.
>>332746846
>>332746727
Timing is what's killing me. I can't even get into the triple digits. Sometimes I spend minutes just getting past 3. I don't know if I'm just exceptionally terrible or if my inputs are fucked by the variable fps on my toaster.
Got 7 triangles?in east frog location, where is last piece ?
Fuck this game is garbage.
Beat in less than a five hours and at least one hour of it spent backtracking for bullshit.
Too bad I'm autistic and have to finish games I start.
>>332747097
>wanting to channel your inner autist
>not doing the dash challenge manually
No True Austist
>>332747024
You just addmitted to being an underaged retard with ADD, you know.
Back in the days games required dedication and were quite hard, you couldnt just google a walkthrough.
If challenging games arent for you - go play some more interactive movies.
>>332747236
I'm more of a content creator type autist.
>>332747351
Can you not tell the difference between a challenging game and a collect-a-thon?
How the fuck do you get to the other parts of this room? There has to be a fifth entrance somewhere.
Now im lost, got already 6 pieces of key and still cant remember where boss door was at west. Some tips pls?
>>332747753
You need 3 keys to get there
>>332747878
I have 14 keys. Where the fuck is the key door then?
>>332747772
Look for a door that requires three fragments.
>>332747949
Before boss room, platform full of monsters you need defeat them to open path at left near tents
ok I bought chain dash and now I have currency for one more upgrade which I hope its combat useful.
Which is the heavy slash? I only have 3 sword upgrades available. Which one should I take?
>>332748617
It should've been obvious from the screenshot that I was already there.
I found it anyway, it was behind a breakable object in the same room.
>>332748787
heavy slash is the first one on the list.
>>332748787
Heavy slash is good vs bosses and slow fat enemy and its deals 5!! dmg

I have four triangles on north and three on east, and I hadnt kill any boss yet. With my two upgrades will it be difficult?
And btw the fourth triangle is litterally one room near the three-triangle door of the north... i was like wtf
