So what's /v/'s opinion on this game? I'm personally loving it so far. Got up to the Song then triggered the optional ending. Replaying the first few bosses now.
So what's everyone's favorite boss?
>>344567001
Past threads have been great, a shame the game is short though
my favorite boss wasthe line
>>344567001
game is unplayable without a gamepad
The edge is probably the best boss fight of all time desu
>>344567001
Love it
>>344567001
Best game I have played in months, got the game and the ost, just hope if was longer
One of the best games I've played in a while. Had a good rhythm going yesterday, but drank too much and kept getting rekt by the hand.
>>344567436
>>344567681
I really loved The Hand. He's probably my favorite boss from anything, at least thematically. Coupled with the guy before and the Song after really makes you think about what you're doing
>>344567001
The love the Song and the Hand
>>344568017
Both feel epic especially with the dialogue those bosses in particular have. It was nice to see how much the fight meant to the hand and what his purpose for fighting was. And on the other hand with the edge, it was awesome how he kept demanding the best from you. Good shit
Died to the last stage of the second boss last night ad had to go to bed, going to give if another shift after work.
Am I just horrible or is it normal to die 6+ times to the second boss?
>>344568370
For me the 2nd boss was the only boss I didn't die to haha
So is it like an arcade game where you have a limited amount of lives or do you get checkpoints at each boss?
>>344568370
The second boss really got me until the game kind of clicked. Experiment with dodging while charging your sword and gun. Another thing the game doesn't outright mention is if you try to shoot during the close quarters sections you can actually empower your attacks
>>344568017
The Hand was a godly boss fight, especially that ending. I love how this game is basically the spiritual successor to Afro Samurai that I've been waiting for seven years straight to happen. I know Takashi Okazaki is apparently only credited for boss design but the entire game feels like a love letter to Afro.
Also, I'm surprised they didn't play out killing The Hand like Afro killed Rokutaro, it would have been interesting if the Hand's son had watched in complete horror as his father died in front of him like in the second AS movie.
>>344568574
You get checkpoints after every boss. Three health bars per fight and they regenerate a bit each time you take one bar from the boss
>>344568370
You get god eventually, die as many times you have to.
In this game feels great to destroy a boss that give you a hard time before
>>344568370
>Am I just horrible or is it normal to die 6+ times to the second boss?
Dude I died fifteen times to this chill ass motherfucker. Old Man Jenkins doesn't fuck around.
I already beat it but I'm waiting for them to drop the patch that fixes the delay. Did they fix it yet?
This game is awesome.
>>344569429
It's intentional.There is a cool down of 0.2 sec so You can't just spam dodging, you need to time it.
>>344569429
>>344569573
You're correct that they designed the dodge to have a small cooldown, however I believe the "delay" that anon is talking about is due to the act of dodging itself only activating via button depress, and not via button press. Basically, dodges are delayed until depress due to their chargeable nature. Hopefully the devs will implement a quick dodge eventually.
>>344569573
>There is a cool down of 0.2 sec
You sure that isn't because the dash is a charge move, like the dash happens on button release rather than button press.
>>344570367
>>344570451
I think they way they've designed is that they want you to react quickly and release the button quickly to dodge.
Energetic and colorful.
Omitting the Charging Square mechanic in the 1v1 sections is a huge mistake for my first run, but it makes the fights go faster later on.
Wish we could get some alternate skins for fun but overall it was nice game. Looking forward to more.
>>344571452
Well that's a mistake because 95% of the time I would only use quick dashes, and not charged ones
>>344572008
Agreed, I think quick dodge is the number one requested feature on the forums, because even though the depress delay is very slight it makes dodging altogether feel delayed. I know the solution is "depress quickly" but even then it still feels delayed, however that might be moreso due to how they programmed it and when the invincibility frames actually kick in.
>>344567001
the only good boss is the chick that screams, it involves actual tactics instead of le ebin touhou rip off they keep going for, other than that it's a pretentious french weaboo game that will most likely get a cult following of tumblrtarts like undermeme
>>344573638
Meme harder you fucking retard
Beat Furi mode earlier, good fun. The first boss is already giving me a hard time in Furier mode, though. I dread the old man and sniper chick on this difficulty.
>>344573778
lol he asked an opinion I gave it to him, stay mad faggot
>>344567001
Curently fighitng the angel crossbow bitch.
Game is great ,but the only thing that annoys me is that you restart the whole pattern of the boss if you lose all your health against them and all previous damage is negated even if they were one hit away from dying.
Its not bad but some of the final phase will most likely kill you the first few times before you see how to handle it.
The scales final phase was horse shit and i watched a youtube video just to make sure if their was a way to prevent it, but you just have to be extremely precise and hope you have some health to take a few hits
>>344573638
>will most likely get a cult following of tumblrtarts
Are you joking? The game's way too difficult for Tumblrtards. I expect countless articles criticizing how "anti-female" the game is for having such a high default difficulty. Plus you get to beat the fuck out of multiple women, that loses SJW points as well.
>>344573978
>Curently fighitng the angel crossbow bitch.
I keep dying to her final phase, so goddamn frustrating man. On the plus side, dying so many times to these bosses means winning is all the more satisfying.
Also, if anyone's wondering where I found these artwork mockups, they're in this thread. Yes, I know Reddit is shitty as fuck but these mockups are cool as hell. https://www.reddit.com/r/Furi/comments/4rwv1x/furi_retro_posters_every_boss_all_characters/
>>344567001
It's a fun game, the dodge needs to be more responsive though, but it's not really their fault since you have the ability to charge it.
I just wish I could play the game on my vita or something.
I just beat the game on normal last night, including the bullet hell final boss.
I've only watched the GiantBomb UPF and Quick Look of this game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQUsPBBXPG4
And I think it looks like trash. A distance-y fight, then a close range fight repeated 5-6 times getting slightly harder (a new element/wave added)...and then repeated again for however many bosses. More than that, it's INFURIATING to see that a "reviewer" for video games sucks this much at video games. He keeps calling it "hard" or near impossible to time things correctly, has NO FUCKING CLUE how the health meters or the game mechanics work despite having played for hours already and it makes me want to claw my eyeballs out to see him call this innovative, stylish and complex boss rush video game.
>>344574340
Its actually not that hard becasue her final phase gives you health orbs if you get hit, unlike most other bosses final phase where you have to beat it or die and start from the beginning.
So far she has the most lax final phase i have come across
I'd tell you what to do,but its obvious so you'll figure it out
Shitaku HATES this game.
http://kotaku.com/indie-boss-battler-furi-is-the-wrong-kind-of-hard-1783130485
>>344575062
don't give this shithole trafic
>>344574774
Keep in mind that fight is arguably the easiest boss fight in the game, in fact it's technically the first boss you fight considering that the tutorial boss barely even counts as an actual boss. Also, I highly recommend simply pirating the game and making a determination for yourself. However, if you did not enjoy Metal Gear Rising, you likely won't enjoy Furi and can skip even trying the game out.
>>344567001
Still not happy with the boost lag.
Posted it before, but give us one button for charged boosts and one that boosts when you press the button.
Good game that needs to make the walking bits skippable.
>>344575174
>highly recommend simply pirating the game and making a determination for yourself
FUCK OF YOU PC KEK!
THIS IS A DAMN GOOD GAME AND DESERVES A BIT OF SUPPORT!

GOOD RIDDANCE TO PC GAMING!
>>344575260
Its called just tapping the button you retard!
SOme attacks are small enough where you simply tap and you can phase thru and other are to big so you need to charge to avoid!

How is that any different than playing it for free on PS4?
>>344567001
Another tryhard game for losers that are better at videogames than life
>>344576084
>for free
>>344575630
Dude I definitely agree that the game is fantastic and deserves as much support as possible, but that anon was (from my understanding) criticizing the game from footage he watched, where as if he played the game he could make his own judgement. And if he thinks the game looks like trash I highly doubt he'd shell out $25 just so he can determine whether it's good or not. Plus he'd be likely to purchase the game afterwards anyway due to upcoming patches and improvements.
>>344575630
If you can't tell the difference between the action going on pressing the button and it happening when you release it then I'm sorry.
But there is a difference, and since there are two buttons assigned to boost I don't see the harm in making them one of them have it so it boosts on pressing the button (or make it an option).
>>344576128
Did the game hurt your feelings too?
>>344576084
Bitch, ps plus members paid for the game because we pay for online play you fuck face.

so far the hand, and the line.
i accidentally got the song optional ending. went afk during the cutscene, came back only to find the credits rolling. wish there was some sort of chapter select.
>>344567001
When people say they "died" to a boss, do they mean losing a health bar or actually getting the game over?
So far I've only game over'd to #3 and #6, a single time each. Currently #7 and have game over'd multiple times over though. Fuck I hate this bitch and her stupid drone bullet spam. #5 was fucking great though, loved the entire fight.
Had to ragequit for the night because of this current boss though, goddamn.
>>344579468
I think they mean game overs
>>344573978
The game is pretty forgiving imo.
Someone give me a link to the soundtrack
>>344580017
It really is.
But perfecting the game is another story altogetho

Here's a soundcloud list with the OST, worst case scenario if you can't find a torrent you could always download each track from here.

Game is fucking fantastic, cant choose a favorite boss.
Side note, anyone done speedrun mode yet? post your times
Do you think Rider and The Song fucked if you chose to stay with her?
>>344581012
Well, if Afro Samurai is any comparison, they absolutely did fuck. However her voice is like a 40 year old woman's so it was likely a hatefuck.
>>344567001
>So what's everyone's favorite boss?
TheMothership
also the music in the scene before the credits gives me goosebumps everytime
>>344581139
Her voice got me rock-hard.
>>344582159
Honestly I don't think anyone can play Furi without throbbing erectile tissue. However, the way The Song said "you have to listen to reason" or whatever the line was really awkwardly voice acted in my personal opinion. Still a 10/10 boss fight in a 10/10 game though.

I'm glad I'm not the only only one who felt a delay before dodging. Makes the game more difficult than it really is.
got kinda bored before i finished the first bossfight. havent picked it back up
>>344582387
Funny thing isduring the aftercredits bosswhen you areriding a spacerocket suit thingyit felt to me like there was no dash delay at all anymore.
>>344582542
I'm sorry anon
>>344582341
I want to have sex with her in the missionary position with the lights off whileholding her hands.
>>344582593
That's actually where I noticed it the most. I was so hyped for a full-on SHMUP boss too.
>>344567001
Still haven't recovered from that last stage to try The Burst again... jesus fuck, that shit is insane.
Just beat the edge. Blast was complete shit but very fun game otherwise. Can't wait for hard mode which is apparently done right.
Shame about the shit story and forced walking. I like downtime but this feels like molasses
Glad i wasnt the only one who had a fucking hellacious time with the burst final phase.
>>344583363
I had a worse time trying to figure out how to get her out of her snipe/run away mode
Great atmosphere and has a unique desgin, a design that won't age. I had some problems with the dodge delay what made me very frustrated. Died a dozen of times at the last health block of the bosses because of this problem. Overall a fun and fast phased indie hack n slash game.
>>344583520
>hack and slash
>>344583450
Same here. It's fucking infuriating. I was chasing her around for ages before I realised you have to be standing on the same platform as her and purposefully let her take a shot at you while you hide behind a wall. Just beat her a few minutes ago and gave the next boss a shot. He killed me but he only has four stages so he doesn't seem too bad.
>>344583450
Theres a little trick to is that worked every time for me, run up to the edge of the little segment shes standing on, but dont get on. When you see her sniper focusing in on you, Jump in the segment, and hide behind one of the pillars, when she shoots the pillar, run out and smash her stupid fucking face in. Maybe this'll help someone out.

so what kind of game is it exactly?
>>344567539
Really ? I was about to give this game a try too.
Ah well,into the trash it goes.
>>344583450
She's locked in place for like a second after she fires her sniper rifle. Bait a shot out then, rush and shoot her once.
>>344583845
It's a boss battle game. Every level is just one long boss battle with several stages. It's got twin stick shooter elements, bullet hell elements and hack n' slash elements where you need to dodge and parry attacks. It's pretty fun so far but it gets very challenging. You're probably not gonna like the game so much if you have shit reflexes and/or hand eye coordination.
>>344583953
Just buy a fucking gamepad. It's worth the investment. Unless you just play MOBAs and RTS games and clicky shit like that. It's at least worth owning one if just for emulation.

>>344584329
I used to have one but decided the thing really isn't that comfortable compared to kb/m so now I just avoid anything that try to BS people with console-gitis feature like gamepad-only.
And just so you know I have zero problem playing emulation with kbm,outside of very few obscure titles.

>>344584804
Yeah, just like I have zero problems playing FPS with a controller. But keyboard and mouse is still better. You're purposefully handicapping yourself using a keyboard to play emulated games. And honestly, I'm not sure if this actually works at all without a gamepad, but there's no way this game would ever be comfortable using a keyboard and mouse.
>>344585470
He wants to go back home. see his daughter for atleast a little bit. Can you really blame him for doing whatever it takes to be free?
>>344585525
Wait what im confused where are you?
>>344585715
His dad wanted to be a hero, so he died like one.
>>344585770
yes, because betraying your allies and dooming the entire planet to literal anihilation to see your daugther for a few minutes is the most selfish thing you can do.
>>344567539
>not owning a gamepad
>>344585950
Then don't destroy the earth.
As for betraying his allies, Oh well, they couldn't beat rider. and why would you put them above your own child.Also why an I anonymously arguing for the morality of a man wearing a rabbit hat at the possible end of the world
>>344586385Because it's mildly fun.
And while that is true, let's be real for a second here. The only reason the option of not destroying the planet is there is because you're playing a vidyagame.
A literal manufactured alien killing machine would not magically gain feelings from being tortured from years, and if it ever did, it'd imagine it'd dislike the planet even more, not somehow grow to like it because he fought one or two guys that were actually fairly honorable.
is anyone else not able to unlock the Breakout achievement? ive cleared all the shields multiple times and still nothing
>>344586587
But rider obviously has some sense of free will other than "kill kill kill"
Like the fact that you can decide to stay with the song. Or when you talk to the voice in the free world, he definitely shows sort of a remorse. Honestly I think the star should've known better than to create something that could single handedly bring down their whole operation and give him some semblance of free will.
>>344586687
I had this problem too, but i got it after maybe the third time trying it in practice mode.
>>344585718
What handicap ? The difference is that gamepad buttons are severely limited while the kbm is not. Do you know why they had to add aimbot feature to console FPS ? It's because so those babies wouldn't complain about how unresponsive and stiff that shitty overpriced hardware of theirs feel.

The feeling of getting good is a really good feeling. Will have to practice to S rank Furier though, but I already feel like S ranking Furi will be trivial.
I think the rabbit guy is The Architect who designed all the prison worlds, but then he went insane.
>>344587286
Instead of going to the tower just keep following the trail until it ends.
>>344587186
guess ill just keep at it
>>344587286
I dont think "because game" is a solid argument, If the creators gave you the option to do something I imagine they would give the thought of what it would mean for the story as a whole. top left corner of the map. near the beach side. you'll get a little cut scene.
>>344587403
His name is The Voice, and he is the architect. Trapped himself in there like the other guardians, wanted to see his daughter again.
>>344587648
Where do you get all these boss names from? Did I miss something in the game, I can't recall any names being dropped in the storyline.
>>344587945

>>344587945
You can see their names on practice mode and achievements/trophy descriptions
What were they thinking with Furier Line? The old bastard makes no sense
>phase 1 far easier than it was on furi
>phase 2 harder than phase 3
>final attack really RNG reliant, and far harder than the rest of the fight
>fight overall more difficult than the next 2 bosses by an order of magnitude.
He's my least favourite fight anyway because of the reliance on dodging while shooting, which is awkward with the standard control scheme. But on Furier it's well fucked.
>>344587945
I believe the names are displayed in the practice menu, however if not the names are obviously on the Wiki and likely in the game files. But yeah some of the names are confusing as hell to me.
>>344587945
You see the voice actors during the end credits, and I think they're in order.
I thought that Rabbit sounded a lot like Kaz Miller in a few scenes, so I was surprised to see it wasnt troy baker.

>>344586587
It's an assumption but it's possible the mothership wouldn't have remained dormant. After all, there are many other Riders like you. Maybe the Voice reasoned the only way to ensure the planets total safety was to take a gamble with you and hope you would have a change of heart. Then you could destroy the mother ship. Seeing his daughter again was merely a side effect.
>>344588553
>I am bad and don't want to play anymore
Okay, I guess.
>>344588553
What?
>>344567001
I'm really bad at this game. Maybe it's 'cause I'm nearin 30, but I just don't jave the reflexes for a game like this.
Anyone else have this issue?
Also I totally have issues with the dash. Getting the end point of the dash correct
>>344585470
He's the Voice. Clearly he's good at manipulating/converting people to his side.
game is mad fun so far
just killed jailer
>>344588805
You're probably getting confused on how to dash.
It's when you release the button, not when you press it. I know you may know this already, but really take this to heart and you'll get how to dodge right.
You don't need super reflexes for most of the game. You're fine.
>>344588207
>because of the reliance on dodging while shooting, which is awkward with the standard control scheme
This is my biggest problem with the game. There is an obviously more efficient control scheme but the game won't let me fix it.
Why would a dev not allow you to customize controls? You can customize the keyboard controls but not the gamepad ones. That's just pure laziness.
It's actually reallyfun_game, especially on FURIER. My only complaint is that devs didn't map parry button to R1.

I'm not great at the game, but I kind of hate it. It REALLY feels like trial-error, especially with parrying. Not only do all bosses have different attack speeds, different phases/combos all have different speeds. You just get caught off-guard, and parrying already has a pretty fucking small window.
>>344567001
>got to the second boss
>died twice
> uninstalled
thats how much it made me want to play
2/10
>>344589781
I don't want to sound like I'm trying to meme on you but it's more about getting good than trial and error.
I did worse on the first few bosses than on the objectively harder later ones. And the timing for parrying is always the same after you hear the sound/see the white flash
>>344589954
>Not tryna meme you but git gud
Dont ever reply to me again
>>344588224
>Rabbit sounded a lot like Kaz Miller in a few scenes, so I was surprised to see it wasnt troy baker.
...what? In MGSV Robin Downes played Kaz, where as Troy Baker played Ocelot. Troy Baker is a good voice actor but I fucking hate how his voice is shoved into every game, it pulls me right out of immersion whenever he does that "extra bass" voice as if he's an Opera speaker or something. A great example of this is FC4's Pagan Minn, which was masterfully voice acted except for the political speech in which Troy reverted to his default bass voice.
>>344589781
I 100 percent don't see how it's trial and error when you have a gigantic white flash and a loud audio cue indicating when it's time for you to parry.
>>344589954
>And the timing for parrying is always the same after you hear the sound/see the white flash
Not that guy, but you're wrong.
>>344590114
It worked for me though. I parry one instant after I see the flash/sound and I get it right and many times I get it perfect.
>>344567001
Picked the PS4 version because it was "free" the horrible framerate made me buy the PC version.
The game is arcady, the walking parts are shit, overall is ok.
>>344590114
it's true though, the delay between the sound effect/white flash and the actual hit is the same. The spacing between attacks changes wildly however.
>>344589781
>He thinks all bosses should just be reskins
Thats literally the point of the game. Its all boss fights why would they be the same? It's not even trial and error you just dodge and parry attacks. I beat the first two bosses and the fourth on my first try.
It isn't enjoyable to me. I don't understand the demographic.
I love the "melee" parts of it, and can even stand the "ranged" parts, but I absolutely fucking hate the bullet hell segments.
on the beam bitch, is there a easier way to survive her bullet hell when shes down to one box of life?
>>344590114
On the edge I got to the final phase on my first try, and he is all about switching up timing on you. The white flash ALWAYS indicates when to parry and if it didnt then I wouldnt have been able to get that far without memorizing his moves.
>>344590481
Stay behind pillars.
Charge your dodge a lot to guarantee you'll dodge the lasers.
>>344590481
nevermind fucked her up
she gets me hard
>get the game for free on PS+
>decide I want to play it on PC

God fucking damn it.
>>344590391
wouldn't the demographic be those who like all of those?
a game doesn't have to conform to solely one genre.
>>344567001
I really don't like it.
It has the same problems hyperlight drifter had, there is almost no story to the game whatsoever.
I need motivation to fight against bosses, otherwise there is no point in doing so.
Just playing a game because it's difficult is not really a motivation for me.
Plus the fact that the "down" times between bosses is the single most boring shit I've every played doesn't really help the game.Oh and 25 bux is heavily overpriced.
But I guess this panders to the same people that liked HLD, DS3 or TBOI. Not my cup of tea though.
Beat 4 bosses, found out the game has 10, quit, got my money back.
second "boss" music is fucking great
love games with good OST
>>344590726
any reason why it is not showing up on ps+ free games? all i see on the front is paragon shit and gat out of hell
>>344590764
L2 on the pad does walking for you
>>344590764
It's an arcade game you dingus. If anything it has more story than it should.
So has anyone figured this out yet?I know 7 is the rabbit. But there's no hint towards an 11th boss anywhere in the game. It also doesn't unlock when you attack the Earth, so I really have no clue what it's supposed to be or mean.
Does Speedrun mode skip the walking parts? And can you use the mode for the S rank trophies?
Walking sessions are fine the first or second time you play, but they're just annoying now. Having to press X and wait until the next fight.
Guys how do i beat The Scale? I always die during his final phase. That shit is too much.
>>344590764
Probably bait and/or sour grapes but I actually agree in some ways. Normally I don't like games that are "difficult for difficulty's sake" especially DS. But something about this game really appealed to me. I love the environments, I love the soundtrack, I even love the sparse story, though I think it could be fleshed out significantly while still maintaining the "aura of mystique." Honestly I like the design alone enough that the walking segments were actually some of my favorite in the game and I have a hard time comprehending how so many people complain about them. I guess this is how DS fans feel when people shit on that?
>>344591231
Idk if it's just shitting but I remember someone in a previous thread saying the numbers actually correspond to chapters, not bosses. So Chapter 11 isthe planetand 12 isThe Star
>>344591540
Walking parts are neat but no sane person wants to see them over and over and over again.
>>344587190
>kbm is not limited
>can't play the game because of the limits of kbm
>>344591686
That would make the most sense. Just odd how they handled that.
>>344591737
>over and over
But when does that happen though? You don't have to redo the walking sections if you die to the boss. At most you only ever have to do themtwo/three times; three times for the first couple bosses if you have to restart after The Song alternate end.
what the fuck do i do phase 2 of old man?
>>344585718
Actually the mouse is better for some of the bosses when they rely on using the gun. the autoaim on gamepad doesnt help to much when those fuckers dont like standing still
man, if they wanted samurai guy to legitimately seem encouraging and paternal, they should've told the VA to go for that instead of condescension
also >mfw the final boss just seems to be the worst of the shitty pseudo-bullet-hell the game constantly forces on you
great.
>>344592169
Also for the (apparently) <2% of people who enjoy the story/walking sections, you can often get extra exposition if you walk backwards/around the arena after a bossfight. I recommend doing this on furier because the dialogue has the most impact/makes the most sense once you've already experienced the endgame stuff.
>>344592169
Multiple runs on different difficulties?
>>344592245
anyone? i notice shooting the pillar hes on activates that lightning cone shit
but just dodging for minutes nothing changes
>>344592584
Keep shooting it. It'll gradually change colours to indicate how low on health it is
>>344585470
You didn't understand his love and madness theme, he does say that he wishes this could be done without killing the guardians, and the star straight up tells you they can just send more to fuck up the earth. Trapping the rider was just plugging the leak with your finger and hoping the rest of the water goes away. If he wanted you so pissed off as to ignore the reasonable and sympathetic bosses, then why was he glad you hesitated before killing the song? Killing them had to be done, but he wanted you to regret it.
>>344592696
fuck
his first phase is so tedious
>>344592584
>Hitting the pillar does something
>Not hitting the pillar does nothing
You really cant figure out what to do?
>>344592765
He was glad you hesitated because he doesn't want you to fuck everything up like a psycho after youre free.
>rebind dodge to a mouse thumb button

>>344591231
#11 is the free world. I have no idea why though.
>>344591285
Yes it skips straight to the bosses. No you cant use it for the trophies, but there are 2 trophies linked to it.
>>344593547
because you have the option to quit the game after the credits (deepest lore)
so just use charged shots for first phase of old man?
>>344591285
walking yes
trophies i dont think so
>>344593978
Yes, also you can shoot the bullets to clear them out. 2 fully charged bullets destroys 1 shield.

Exactly he's trying to change you so that you hopefully save the planet instead of assimilating it
>>344594127
or just stand still and hold down laser pistol rapid fire

Never in all of the positives I was looking for in this game did I ever think anyone could think this dialogue is 'epic'. Amazing
>>344594292
cortana; i was not a fan of the shit that song+line forced on you. bullet hell games work because you have a 100% top-down perspective, and you know the exact bounds of your hitbox.
>>344594353
Focus on your character and not getting hit. He's not going anywhere.I honestly didn't know the line was so much of a problem for people until I came online
>trying to dodge, parry, charge shot, and move in the last few phases of The Star
Why the FUCK isn't L1 or L2 charged shot?
>>344594538
I forgot you could charge shot during that one boss for some reason.
>>344594658
game is still a blast. i loved geometry wars and robotron 64 so twin stick shooters are a blast. on top of action hack n slash mechanics makes it great
wish between bosses there was some sort of filler enemies to just slash and shit
So are they gonna do DLC? I wanna fight the rabbit.
>>344595263
I agree the game is fantastic, Filler enemies would make the game a bit longer, which I'm alright with. Oh well. Hopefully Game Bakers continue making games as good as this one.
>>344595462
The Rabbit is your friend you monsterand probably not much of a fighter.
>>344594580
That's a good point, especially towards the corners things got a bit hard to discern
So who does the rabbit kill? And what does he kill them?
I feel like he was hiding something by taking them out before you got there.
The Rabbit is literally voiced by the old man in acapella box. Seriously, try this shit.
https://acapela-box.com/AcaBox/index.php
>>344595641
he defeated Number 7: The Architect on his own though
so he's at least some what of a good fighter
>>344595951I believe that he's lying. That was his room.
Yeah l1 being a charged shot deafulting to straight ahead of you would have been really nice.
>>344594463Don't leave after you talk with The Song (the lady right after the knight)
>>344596113Pretty sure he -is- The Architect, anon
>>344596113
He is the architect, He outright tells you That he built, or at least helped build the place.
Atleast thats how I perceived it
>>344594132
Try shooting the green lines with the chargeshot when he starts spawning them. You can actually stop them before they cover the whole area. Even if you only get one it'll still give you a ton more space to work with.
>>344596208holy shit
>game is quite hard
>disable the voices
>suddenly is WAY easier to parry
Also fuck The Song.
Anyone got tips for the Star?
>>344596403
Charged shot
>>344596403
Pay attention to your character, learn the patterns, And charge your shots. Know when to shoot and when to wait it out
Got it yesterday. At the 2nd boss (weird girl). I'm loving this game. But shit's hard as fuck. In a fun and challenging way.
ok i have a huge gripe on the camera angle during close encounters
never position the boss on top
this old man fight is pissing me off now, camera zooms in too much
>>344597000
the camera during the fight with The Scale (sickly green) moves around like a bitch each time he surfaces up in a different location and that fucks up with my cursor location and makes dodging almost impossible
>>344597513
>playing with M+KB
>not using directional dodging
is sound really important? because i'm half listening while watchin a stream
>>344598219
Its not unplayable without sound, but I suggest it. Mostly so you can listen for parries but also the OST is fantastic
>>344598219
Only a little for parrying, but you could do without it. The music isn't that great.
>>344598495
>>344598434
the thing is its hard to really enjoy the music when theres tons of shit going on
>>344598495

Always that one faggot.

I suppose so.Thats why I bought the OST

Music from The Star/Final boss
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk1UqObbpLo
0:50 makes mefrisson the fuck out
i feel like i have to play perfectly when i'm fighting the line. like gettin hit by a shockwave or lightning cone is instant two bars while a ball pellet does half to one bar
but then the close encounters are fuckin something else. i dunno if i really need sound queues because he attacks so fucking fast
i would have it down compared to the laser bitch, but i rarely get to close combat against him because of the bullshit bullet hell before then
>>344600504
You'll get it friend, don't give up
I love this game, but how the hell do I start killing things faster? I'm on Furier, and I understand how boost hits work, but how do I work them into my arsenal?
I want to go fast, and bullets and sword too slow
>>344601502
i didn't realize you can get health pickups on phase 2 according to this video i'm watching
what the fuck is that only on furi difficulty?
Oh shit, I didn't realize this was out already
>>344601786
It's present in furier to a lesser extent. Also look out for those green orbs/bullets in the future -- they also appear on later bosses.
>>344601786
Yes, according to memory, the only way to regain health on furious is parrying.
>>344567001
I'm absolutely hating the 4th boss of this game, it is my 4th run against this guy and i always fuck up.

Am I a weeb for playing with Japanese voices?

Yeah, you really need to start focusing on the flash, not animations. Because lots of enemies will start doing shit to fuck with you if you're watching the animation.

>>344602121
Damn, my game just glitched and i almost lost the fight.
>>344602828
just dodge forwards and then immediately backwards to your starting point
you just need to move back and forth 5 times, it's the most damaging, but the easiest one to dodge
>>344602246
Normally people prefer Jap voices in their JRPG's because the VA's are actually better/professional or whatever. Here it's just indie VA's so yeah, you are.
>>344602121
Oh fuck, i finally did it.
>>344603248
yeah I got it eventually. There's a reason it's not super high. It's harder than the base-level danmaku patterns, but not as hard as INVINCIBLE ENERGY SHOTS AND SHOCKWAVES FUCKING EVERYWHERE AND HOMING LASERS FUCK
FINALLY FUCKIN KILLED THE LINE
FUCK YOU BITCH
>>344603368
Congrats man!
>>344603465
You can dodge forward and back for the first four, but for the last one, just dodge towards for a free three hit combo. It works on Furier too.
>>344603339
The Song's Jap VA is leagues better than the English one.
>>344567001
Im shit at predicting and remembering movements so I just quit and said fuck it.
Do any of the characters have professional VAs? The Voice sounds so familiar. I'd swear it was the guy that voiced Travis Touchdown and the Medic.
>>344603783
That's just like, your opinion man.
>>344567539
Honestly I like the game alot more on keyboard because I can remap my buttons and aim with the mouse.
>>344603339
I just though it felt fitting since the game is anime as fuck.
>>344604535
go watch Afro Samurai if you haven't already.
>>344603654
already defeated the guy in armor, nice
>>344604674
Not him, but sub or dub? and how long is it?
>>344604770
It's fine dubbed, and you get to listen to S.Jackson. It's only like 5 episodes I think, then there's a 90 minute film follow up.
>>344604770
not him but i dont remember afro samurai having a japanese version, i've only ever saw the american one even though the manga is japanese. the english one is really good mate, it has samuel o jackson on it
>>344604712
Nice! Good luck with the song
>>344604878
>>344604897
>S.Jackson
Sweet, I'm gonna watch it now
any tips on the 4th boss? the green fuck in the goop
>>344592584
just use charge shots since it only counter-attacks when it's hit (there is a small cooldown between how often it can counter-attack, but shit's much easier to dodge when you dictate the pattern for yourself).
The theme of the fight is patience,which might be why so many people struggle with that fight.
>>344605153
Be kinds patient on the last phase, when you're in the grid is best to dodge left and right.
As for the rest of the fight try to avoid his green bullets as they fuck your screen up, you can shoot them with a charged shit before they split to destroy them.
>>344605153
Learn to parry his attacks, Dodging his shots. Really just be patient and look for your opportunity to attack
>>344605153
i found just using rapid-fire throughout most of the fight was the fastest, though when he sits there and laughs that gives you a free charge shot/slash.
>>344574104
in fallout 4 and cod you kill women in droves and nobody give a shit.
>>344605379
>As for the rest of the fight try to avoid his green bullets as they fuck your screen up, you can shoot them with a charged shit before they split to destroy them.
thanks, i didn't think about charge shootin it before it splits
>>344605446
>Really just be patient
seems to be the theme.
anyway thanks boys
>>344605530
charge shots i feel should do a lot more than they do. seem to have more dps just rapid firing. noticeable on the lines pillar phase
>>344605379
Fuck sorry for the typos. I'm kinda sick and typing from my phone but I think you can get the gist of it
>>344605616
It seems to differ from fight to fight, like the hand for example gives you loads of openings for charge shots that don't stagger him, so if you open with that and follow up with some rapid-fire, you can put out some good damage.
>>344605959
i think the game finally clicked after beating the line.
like fuck the game is an actual bullet hell and i cant just DMC my way through.
so for the speed running achievments (Better than M/B) and ranking, is it the total time you spend on each boss, or based on how long it takes for each? Basically, does it take all your restarts, game overs, etc. into account?
Racking up Furier S Ranks. I think The Edge is actually the easiest, tied with The Chain now.
>>344606807
what's your trick with S ranks in general? is there a universal trick to it?
>>344606760
Yes it takes it all into account. And its all the time you spent on bosses added together. Its how long you spent from starting the chain. to beating the star.But you can pause without penaltyYou can always start over the entire speed run if you think you're taking too long. No cutscenes, no walking, just boss
>>344607083
Try to get hit less than 10 times per boss, and go as fast as possible. Those are the only factors
is there rng to this game? like is every fight and every try the same shit?
>>344607309
any tips for going fast? ways to sneak in a few extra points of damage? or does it depend on the boss?
>>344607385
there's a bit of RNG for some bosses, there's a degree of patterning, but it's not a "I'd be able to do it blindfold it gets so predictable" kind of thing
>>344607432
Depends on the boss, but for the most part, Charging attacks, Constantly firing with your gun. Parrying everything.
for some bosses you can attack during animation, it wont do damage, but it'll kick them out of the animation, Keep doing that till they decide to hit you with physical attacks so you can parry and get some damage in.
And goodluck
>>344607526
ok i was just wondering. i had a hard time with dj dhalsim and looked up a video and it really helped out since i could mimic the player in the vid.
but i dont want to do that again. ruined the experience.
like the realization that i could just use fast shots instead of charge shots for phase 2, and just fast shots for the phase after
i thought i was doing hot shit with charge shots on pillars but nope theres an easy way to do it
>>344607786
Yeah in general bosses follow a pattern, but for instance some bosses have multiple attack strings, and if you assume it will be one when it's another, you'll get hit. Hard. But stuff like bullet patterns, etc. don't really change much
>>344580276
Sorry I'm late
https://mega.nz/#F!L8kBARwI!FrySy2ymXzPn6a7tgBqOiQ
>>344606807
makes sense that the edge would be easiest to s rank given how punishing it is when he actually does hit you
>>344579468
#7 sniper lady is rough on the first run. Have fucking fun with her last phase.
>>344607786
honestly, the game has similar predictability to punch-out, where if you make the same attacks at the same points in the fight, the boss will have the same patterns. speedrunning this game will ultimately fall into finding the pattern that gives the most openings in the shortest window of time.

Huh?
>>344609167
That's the best I can do on the normal difficulty, I'll never be able to do it on furier
>>344609748
Not with that attitude. Each part of the boss is just a little harder. I fucked up all over the place and apparently it's still good enough.
Got it for free with PS+ Downloaded it in the background because it was small. Tried it out for 2 hours. It is good. If I didn't get it free though I may not have ever played it. Don't like The game Bakers other games. And last Afro Samurai game was one of the worst games I have ever played.
>>344586587
I was talking about this with a friend and we figure that each guardian teaches you another human emotion, which is kind of a failsafe in case you do get out. They clearly knew what you were, I guess they hoped that if you managed to get out you'd make the right choice.
As for the genetically modified point, he obviously has emotions of his own and morals. He didn't hesitate to finish the song for no reason
>>344610408
This is definitely what a good afro samurai game would be. Afro didn't run around slaying armies of mooks like in the games
>>344610408
I love it and I honestly don't believe it's worth the price.
>>344610601
He literally did, that was the whole point of the number two headband. That's what the mob was about in the first episode, showing that he'd put up with that stuff for a long time.
is the perfect parry something I should strive for or is it better for it to just be a happy accident?
>>344610862
I've been shortchanged for damage accidentally perfect parrying while holding a charge attack.
>>344608682
>tfw like 60% of the playerbase didn't stick around after the credits
>>344607957
Some bosses throw in purple shots which seem to be somewhat random in how they scatter before tracking you
i secretly wish that the dodge triggered on button press instead of release but because of the charge dodge mechanic obviously this wouldn't make sense.
also i could always just git gud and learn the timing of dodging to compensate for the slower activation speed.
the delay parry throw me off and i can't progress for shit due to it, i have been wired to do parry or dodge with visual or audio cue just when it is up not some time after that
also didn't like the bullet hell stuff, never really care for that genre of game
art and music is good
Damn, how do i deal with the song?
This monk guy is bullshit
>>344610990
if it's just the single purple orbs that home on you, you can parry them to bounce them back. not sure if there's a better way to deal with the one's that explode into smaller orbs other then kiting them around/weaving through them.
>>344611280
they could've made it work by having you dodge first, then initiate charging for the next dodge if you kept it held, ideally letting you move while charging it. I feel this would've been much more fluid then what we got.
>>344610482

Happy accident. Getting the heal from multiple parries, and the damage from a counter attack is better than 1 perfect parry.
Some bosses even punish the perfect parry.
>>344605250
Charge shots are only good for his first phase. They mess up your rhythm with dodging too much otherwise.
is there anyway i can just prac tice parry over and over?
the practice option is just basically you fighting the bosses again
>>344611886
Practice The Edge on Furier. He's just straight parrying and throws in delays too.
>>344611936
>the edge
im not even clearing furi yet, mainly because i cant parry for shit with their delay system
it is really annoying when you are wired to instantly parry from other games

There's a sound and big bright light, what more do you need?
>>344612403
that's the problem
usually for other game you parry when you see those cues and you got it 10/10
but this game the attacking is delayed after that visual cue so pressing the button right away just fuck your parry up
that was the whole point in my other post, it wasn't instant
>>344612636
the delay between the flash+sound is always 0.5 seconds
the timing between attacks can differ
the Burst melee combos come in 4 hit combos in a steady rhythm
the Edge's 2nd phase has a 0.5 second delay on his combo's 3rd hit
but timing the parry is always the same so pay attention to the flash+sound
>>344612979
thanks, imma keep this in mind
i guess i can try the first boss again with one of his phase is basically tutorial on parrying

Afro Samurai staring Jackson is the original. It's not a dub. It debuted in the states and was simulcast to Japan from what I remember. Like Dandy and Ian Sinclair.
Is the Beat hard? I fucking hate bosses with obstacle courses?
>>344613547
you dodge through pretty much everything
just run and dash, as long as you time it, it should be pretty easy
whats the 4th boss called? i'm on his 3rd phase and i'm scaared
>>344613804
Jet Wet Radio? The Scale.
I need some Furi fanart already. This is going to be one of these games that gets 1 piece of fanart and that's it forever
>>344613862
nothing scaley about him
it's pretty fun looking the achievements for this game
>almost 15% of people couldn't beat The Chain
>almost 35% of people couldn't beat The Strap
>over 50% of people couldn't beat The Line
and it just keeps dropping from there
only 18.6% of people who own Furi and have launched it at least once have beaten The Beat
ending spoiler achievement stats3% of people decided to stay with The Song5% of people resumed the invasion13% of people rebelled and fought for the planet
>>344613961
I think it's supposed to be a scale as in the measuring tool
>>344613961
I appreciate the dad joke.
But for real, he's judging you. Listen to that dialogue. Hence, "The Scale." Like the egyptians, or whatever.
>>344612189
This gives me a new appreciation for The Jobber/Beat. Even though she was shit.
okay so I can basically confirm that at least some bosses read your button inputs, and will have a pattern based on what you're doing. Using The Chain on Furier as an example, if you are moving or shooting he will always start off the fight with one of his two Phase 1 physical moves (the three hit or the teleport behind that puts you in a cutscene)
However, if you start off the fight immediately with charging a slash, he will start with his purple homing shot attack.
Basically, you can force him into certain situations to allow you to do max damage.
In theory, the same should be true of at a few other bosses. Obviously some like The Line are rote memorization, and others like The Edge are pure reaction with a bit of RNG, but this is still a very neat thing. In theory, it'll be possible to have routes planned for several of these bosses for max time and no hits.
I just beat The Hand.
That was a good fucking boss fight.
>>344614402
It really does. I mean, she's obviously very weak, and she's young enough to have a whole life ahead of her.
She's giving up friendship, love, and general enjoyment to a cause that she all but KNOWS she's going to die for simply because the world can't afford not to.
>>344608035
You are beautiful anon.
>>344608070
Just came back to this thread after losing my remaining3lives to the last phase. That shit needs really tight timing on the dodges
>>344614634
i found that timing a charged dodge lets you dash through the intersection between the waves pretty easily
takes a while, but it's a hell of a lot easier than trying to time 2 dodges when you can just dodge once
>>344614612
And all she wants you to do is hold her hand in the end...
>>344615174I wanted to hold her hand
>>344615407
after The Edge, i was trained to be prepared to parry everything during the CQC phase, managed to fully charge my blade and was ready for the little flash
and then i sawhow tired and out of strength she wasbut she'd keep getting back upi've never felt so bad for killing a boss in a video game before
>>344614967
maybe it's me but I really wish you could remap the controls.
I would really love to have parry on a shoulder button (most likely R1), as well as turn L2 into the attack boost for CQC.
I find myself doing the claw motion a lot to do things like be able to parry, dodge, attack and shoot/blade charge in quick succession, even with L1 dodging, you still have one thumb doing 3 different things and that's rough
>>344576395
But dev didn't receove a penny/
>>344616026
Sony most likely gave them a nice chunk of change to be a PS+ partner
>>344616017
shit, i played the entire thing with my mouse and keyboard since i don't have a usb controller, that was pretty fucking brutal
try to parry something with the F key when you're trying to move to the right or backwards, i only have so many fingers
>>344616026
im pretty sure they got money from sony
>>344616353
Oh yeah I don't doubt it. I mean it does seem likely that it's at least somewhat by design, like how there's a delay on dodging and parry but still, some stuff is uncomfortable.
Am I the only one here that can't beat The Star? Everything this game has taught me up until now, has now been thrown out the window, and has turned into nothing but a straight up bullet hell. There's just to much screen clutter for me to focus.
Any tips guys can give me? Pulling my hair out by now.
>>344616842
Patience. Charging shots. Knowing when to attack and when to focus on dodging. I had a hard time too. Don't give up anon
>>344616842
Much like real bullet hell games, a lot of the patterns have safe spots that allow you to stand there and just lay charged shots in. And a lot of them are navigable by simply moving, no dodging needed. By and large you only really need to dodge lasers, shockwaves.
Notice the patterns, where bullets don't go, and it gets much easier.
>>344616842
>pic from otoyomegatari
mah nigga
Phase 1:
the only thing you need to dodge are lasers
spam your bullets nonstop at the hands (or charge shots, takes about the same time)
parry purple homing shots
parry sentry strikes (will heal you)
dodge the lasers
during the gold orbs, just stay at the bottom of the platform and dodge the lasers left and right. once the gold orbs finish, resume shooting hands
Phase 2:
basically the same thing as 1, only the lasers come from the sentries in the back
Phase 3:
you can actually just run all the way to the lower left and side of the platform, both the gold orbs and the blue orbs will miss you, stand there and just charge shot until the phase is over
Phase 4:
stand at the bottom of the platform, dead center
dodge straight up to avoid the waves
after the waves stop, there's a brief period where you can run to the top of the empty space and fire a charged shot to damage both a hand and the sentry behind it (if you time it right, you can take out one of the sentries before the next phase)
during the waves, parry the purple orbs and dodge BETWEEN the waves
you'll save time and effort by dodging the intersection between the waves than trying to dodge multiple times AND parry purple orbs at the same time
if you didn't deactivate one of the sentries, focus on dodging and surviving the waves
if you managed to deactivate one of the sentries, try to deal poke damage to the hands
you can also heavily damage both sentries in one cycle, then deactivate both the next cycle
Phase 5:
move up and down in the center
gold orbs have a predetermined pattern, easy to dodge
blue orbs are slow
when the purple orbs appear, drop to the bottom of the platform and dash through the blue orb wall to avoid them (purple orbs will break into slow moving smaller orbs, but will disappear before they get to you if you dash around)
Phase 6:
no fucking clue here, just keep dashing left and right

So what are exactly the requirements of S-ranking a boss? The S-rank story mode achievement seems kind of annoying to do seeing as the game doesn't tell you what rank you got for beating bosses. I'm gonna be salty as when I beat it and it tells me I got an A or something.
>>344618503
only 2 things
>time taken to beat the boss
>number of hits taken from boss
Who the fuck thought the last phase of the fourth boss was a good idea? How am I supposed to dodge all these green lines?
>>344619079
Try to line up the shockwaves with the grid and time your dodge over both at the same time
>>344618861
For "time taken" does that count restarts and stuff like that?
>>344618861
ah I see. is there a certain amount of hits which counts as not an S-rank, or does it change from fight to fight?
Which boss fight had the best atmosphere?
I say the Edge fight.
holy shit fuck this phase on Furier
any tips?
>>344619462
Yeah, there's an option in the settings for a timer
Fight will show you time for that fight
Walkthrough shows you total time
You'll want to use Fight timer since Walkthrough is only for the storyline.
>>344619484
Not sure, sorry family
I'm not even sure what the cut offs are for the time, let alone number of hits
>>344619702
I thought the floating platforms fighting The Beat was pretty cool. Also felt pretty badass being able to dodge projectiles and cross gaps in a single dodge.
>>344619738get lucky
>>344620046
this unfortunately seems to be the case
outside of me already running into beams cos i'm bad, half the time i'm forced to run into something at least so i don't get one shot by the sniper round because the wall appeared right in the middle of 3 shockwaves
>>344619738
try and stay near the back as much as possible since you don't need to move all the way up to a wall if it spawns close to the boss. other then that, fuck that part.
>>344619702
I really liked the Edge as well. 1v1 fights where both characters are evenly matched with the same abilities gets me hard
My only complaint is that the melee combat in the game is very simplistic, so it didn't really offer too much in terms of cool fight mechanics. Otherwise, I still thought it was pretty cool.

>>344596208
Just catching up on the thread now, if what you say is true, then clearly killing everyone isn't necessary to get my feet on Earth. So why do I have to slay everyone, even The Beat? Could have snuck past a few bosses for sure.

>>344627894

>>344627894
honestly if you find the challenge a chore instead of fun this game might just not be for you.
So whats the story behind this game?
The Stranger is an alium borg dude and he was sent down but somehow defeated then imprisoned?
Why the different plateaus with the different guardians instead of all of them fighting him at once?
Who the fuck is The Edge? How come he wasn't the one that beat The Stranger?
Who is the fucking bunny guy and what does he want?
What is The Scale's deal and why is his plateau a sewer?
>>344628543
>The Stranger is an alium borg dude and he was sent down but somehow defeated then imprisoned?
Yep, according to the voice (rabbit bro) The song (angel boss) was the one to imprison you iirc. Don't know how
>Why the different plateaus with the different guardians instead of all of them fighting him at once?
They all think they can take you out by themselves
>Who the fuck is The Edge?
Just another Guardian
>How come he wasn't the one that beat The Stranger?
He wasn't strong enough
>Who is the fucking bunny guy and what does he want?
He's a Guardian who essentially got stir crazy, turned on the other guardians and set you loose, He just wants to be free and see his daughter again
>What is The Scale's deal and why is his plateau a sewer?
Purely speculation, But i believe the ayy lmaos Destroyed his place, found his way to earth, and join the other guardians So he could seek revenge on you.
As for why its a sewer, I'm sure it's symbolic of something.
>>344628543
Alien sent to Earth to scout it out before they assimilate it, somehow they managed to catch him and lock him away.
They're "The Guardians", the earth's best fighters or something, figuring it'd be difficult for him to kill them all unarmed if he did get out. But he got the Katana from Bunny dude.
Not really enough information, he may have just been an aspiring Samurai before the capture and asked to be in there to get better.
Bunny is "The Voice", another Guardian and the architect of the whole prison. He figured that the aliens would probably destroy the earth anyway so he wanted to escape and see his daughter one last time before it all went to shit. Since Guardians aren't allowed to leave either, and he couldn't break out alone, he had to free the Alien.
It's implied that Scale was a guy caught up in the corruption that the alien releases that kills life around him. It made him insane and fucked him up pretty bad. The level refers to the environmental damage the alien does, that can be seen once you reach the earth.
>>344629026
>They all think they can take you out by themselves
That is literally retarded and only children think like that
The Song is also a cock bag that cares only about personal gain
>>344629596
Doesn't look like she's gaining much locked away in her cell.
>>344629026
>He just wants to be free and see his daughter again
Literally whats stopping him from going down to Earth and seeing his daughter whenever?
He built the fucking place somehow so why wouldn't make a teleporter down to Earth anytime he wants to go down????
>>344629596
Sounded more like she was trying to convince herself.

>"And I will be hailed as their hero"
Sounds like she wants glory
>>344629698
>I haven't played the game and try to look smart

Sounds like she's trying to find some semblance of pride in giving her life away.
WHY DOES SAMURAI MAN TURN EVERYTHING HE TOUCHES INTO STONE??? WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF ASSIMILATION IS THAT HOW DO THEY SHIT IF THEIR TURDS TURN INTO ROCKS? WHY DO THEY NEED TO TAKE OVER PLANETS AND TURN THEM INTO STONE INSTEAD OF JUST EATING ASTEROIDS OR WHATEVR
WHY IS IT ONLY ON EARTH OR WHATEVER THE FUCK THE PLANET IS AND NOT ON THE PRISON????
WHY DOESN'T HE SCARF TURN INTO STONE
HOW DOES HE EAT IF HE TURNS EVERYTHING INTO STONE
>>344629596
>That is literally retarded and only children think like that
Listen to the dialogue you jew
Chain goes on and on about how he's gonna lock your ass up
Strap is batshit
Line outright says "im here to make my clocks tick again"
Scale is also batshit, but he wants revenge
song admittedly just wants to keep you there and doesnt want to fight
Hand Wants to show his son how much of a hero he is
Burst is a cunt who thinks shes all that
Edge just wants a challenge
Beat is just a kid who had unrealistic goals
>>344629698
Guardians cant leave, thats why he had to free you, so you could bust them out.He outright says this. Cant remember when exactly, sorry, but I think its in His boss room.
>>344567001
Needs more homo porn
>>344629785
Ideally he'd never get out of his restraints, he only could because of The Voice. They probably assumed he'd never escape. Only timey-wimey dude knew he would and it sounds like more people just ignore him.
>>344629798
its a legitimate question.
>Guardians arent' allowed to leave
Fucking why? How do they eat and shit?
>>344629968
literally why can't guardians leave
literally why can't he make a secret teleporter to Earth?
>>344630064
Because in the event of a breakout it'd be easier for him to leave. It'd be like having a locked escape hatch in an irl prison and one of the guards has the keys.
>>344629924
desu I think its a metaphor
the good ending doesn't make sense if he's actually ruining everything he touches
>>344630150
irl prisons guards are allowed to go home
>>344629998
>>344630064
If they were to leave, who would watch rider to make sure he didnt just waltz out.
Admittedly it didnt work, but still, precautions
>literally why can't he make a secret teleporter to Earth?
Foresight is 20/20
If he was able, he would've.
>>344630220
Letting people come and go freely just gives more potential areas for a prisoner to escape, these people gave up their freedom to help defend the earth.
>>344630157
It sort of does, the way the ending seems, It looks like he dies in the explosion.

nigger its called taking shifts.
There would always be people to watch Rider
How do you think actual prisons work?
>>344630372
why not throw him into the sun if they can't kill him
why even give a way to teleport back down to Earth instead of just leaving him stranded on a rock
>>344630372
its not freely. Shifts are a thing
There could easily be 16 guardians instead and they all take turns
That or instead of levels they all fight together.
Can I run this shit on a toaster?
>>344630529
Well this isnt an actual fucking prison, is it?
They're not watching over a bunch of Niggers they're LITERALLY watching the guy who could destroy the fucking earth. They're the best of the best, the cream of the fucking crop. They gave up their freedoms to watch over an alien
>>344630602
Probably because he's literally invincible. They've tried to kill him before obviously. If they blast him off the planet he'll just come back.
>>344629924
I was under the impression thatthe Riders are designed to completely exterminate all life on a given planet and then the mothership terraforms it to be more appropriate to their own climate.Also I know people haven't really been consistent about this but you should really spoiler that shit anon.

They still need to sleep.
Shifts are still needed.
16 guardians all taking turns and if he gets out all 16 show up to fight
The only thing I didn't get was why didn't the star send more riders to get him. She obviously knew he was imprisoned.

I assume they could have slept in their segments anon.
>>344631250
>but she's implied to have come first.

I'm saying they can hire 8 more guardians ot make the total 16.

>>344630882
>sperg comes into thread asking retarded ass questions with answers readily apparent all while typing in all caps
Nigga what?
>>344631397
How easy do you think it would be to find 8 more warriors willing to give up their freedom, family and possible lives? Hang up "help wanted" posters around town?
>>344631314
In the opening expositionThe Voice mentions that she acted almost like she was looking for something.
Then after the fight if you circle the arena he adds thatThe Line said some cryptic shit about how she was trying to "protect" them or something. It's implied she was somehow sent to stop The Stranger/Rider but got there too soon and didn't know how to just play nice and wait for him to arrive.
>>344631523
huh
When do you use
>Charge attack
>Charged dash
>Whatever the fuck the right stick does in combat
?
>>344631506
"freedom"
you stupid idiot
They'd hire 8 more so they DON'T need to give up their freedom.
Power in numbers clearly works on Rider, as proven by dialogue vs The Hand.
There's no reason why they can't have a bunch of guardians and a bunch of henchmen all taking shifts watching Rider.
>>344632049
charge slash enemies when they finish doing a big move that leaves them vulnerable
most of the time you need to charge in advance and then use the dash to avoid the attacks before you punish them and wait until you see an opportunity
charged dash is used to dash through waves that are too large to dash through normally
you should basically be shooting whenever you have the opportunity and you're not in melee range. you can also shoot and destroy some bullets
>>344632049
I'm not the best, but I've gotten several S ranks on Furier.
>Charged Attack
Can be maintained while dashing or parrying, landing one stuns and leads into your "cutscene" attack for loadsa damage. Very useful if you know a parry sequence or you can dash around a big attack, like The Hand's lazer.
>Charged Dash
You rarely need this on Furi. On Furier some common attacks are easier to dodge with a long dash rather than two short ones. Some attacks require it to avoid taking damage.
>Right Stick
You can charge your weapon so you do more damage with your melee attacks in the close up segments. I rarely use this, even if I know the boss. Probably because I'm not good enough and charged attack suffices.
>>344632171
1st of all rude
2nd Maybe they simply didn't have the man power? Ever think of that champ? If they had a bunch of bad ass warriors at their disposal, then why they fuck was the beat there? She was the last fucking line of defense, they were obviously desperate. If they had armies then they would've fucking used them, wouldn't they?
>>344632457

>The game's way too difficult for Tumblrtards
Is it? Fucking hell. I thought the difficulty was nicely balanced. Firm but fair without too much bullshit.
Really fun game. Only bosses I lost to were the sniper and the final boss (both in their final sequences). Final boss was shit which was really unfortunate because the rest of the game was completely on point.
>>344632579
Why do you type like you're writing down your speech? And how was rude a joke you cunt?
>>344590764
>I need motivation to fight against bosses
I wanna get out of this prison, these fuckers want to keep me in prison.
What other motivation does your character need? Do you REALLY need "an evil awakens"?
>>344632457
They weren't desperate, The Beat WANTED to be there. She was the last line of defense behind The Edge because they hoped she'd never have to fight. They even gave her all sorts of tricks and traps .
they used Armies on Rider and it worked
>>344632323
Charging immediately upon knocking down the boss is by far the best way to do it, you should get a full charge right before their next attack. Land one and you can take off up to half their HP bar.
>>344568367
>It was nice to see how much the fight meant to the hand and what his purpose for fighting was
Too bad it was literally 99.99% of his lines. Kind of got annoying super fast.
Really cool game but thatANCIENT ALIENSending reveal was pretty stupid. Would've been way cooler if they kept him asan unintentionally destructive mysterious beinglike he appeared to be before that stuff after the credits.
>>344632760
>Why do you type like you're writing down your speech?
I want to
>and how was rude a joke you cunt?
Do you actually have some sort of mental defect? Read it again champ, I know sarcasm doesn't translate well through text, but it was fairly obvious.
>>344632830
Some attacks don't lend themselves to having you mobility limited, I've found on Furier. Since you can't always just throw out the charge with blocks, going through one of those big red aoe sequences without being able to walk properly is much harder.
>>344632967
I'm talking about the right stick charge in close combat.
>>344632826
Then where were the armies when he started his escape? I don't know about you but that part of the free world seemed pretty desolate.
Also, when do they say they used armies? i must have missed that
>>344567001
when you can't even read the title, you know you're in for some shit
>>344632954
It's pretty difficult to tell sarcasm apart from cringeworthy faggots.
>>344633052
Ah I guess so. It's much harder to knock anything down on Furier though since most stuff will block the chained knock down.
Is the boost lag a meme or true? I need some sources
Meh. It's ok.
Makes me want to stop playing and go back and finish Afro Samurai though.
>>344633075
When walking to The Hand
The Voice talks about The Hand rallying hundreds to bring you down and it worked
that part of the free world was The Voice's home, not a populated area but there were houses
>>344633114
Just play the game. There's a very noticeable delay between pressing the button and boosting due to the engine creating a large buffer for charge inputs. You can see this in the Soulsborne games because they use circle for both dodge and run, creating a buffer to determine which action you're attempting. It's so bad that the dev even mentioned they're considering putting in a quick boost to alleviate the issues people are having.

Because their realms are tiny, somewhat linear and they seem to be fully aware of where you are and where you're going. Plus the guy who apparently MADE the prison is telling you to kill them. Seems to be some sort of fail safe. Kill the jailer to open the next bit.

oh fuck it, I was gonna keep this going, but its not worth the trouble. Good job faggot. you won the internet argument
>>344633114
It's true but a lot of people are using it as an excuse for sucking. The actual window of opportunity for dodging is large enough that the delay constitutes only a small fraction, especially in non-furier difficulty. It might throw you off if you're used to twitch reaction games like shmups or true bullethells, but the game itself is easy enough compared to those that it's more of a nuisance than an actual gamebreaker.

Can't believe I missed that, Still, I'd like to know where the army went off too. You'd think they'd stay by the possible planet destroyer. Just in case.
>>344633337
Yeah I guess so
anyone else getting a bug where the game won't let you keep charging your sword and gun for a while and instantly fires them off in a random direction?
>>344632826
No they didn't and no it didn't. The guardians took him down.
Did you miss all the dialog where it's shown that they're so shit terrified of him escaping because he's an utter monster in terms of strength and the MOMENT he beats the guardians the earth is fucked? Did you miss that? There is NO ONE ELSE capable of fighting him on the planet.
>>344633609
Sounds like an issue with your controller
>25 $
>>344633743
I thought so, but I don't think it should be affecting all the buttons, though maybe it's a problem with the cable
>>344633868
Any issues when playing other games?
>>344633957
sometimes, but then it's an issue with the sticks
I'll probably try buying a new controlelr and seeing if I have a different experience
>>344633725
did you miss the dialogue where The Hand rallied hundreds to take down Rider? Whose to say the Guardians were not in those hundreds?
>>344633725
>No they didn't and no it didn't.
Play the game dude
Its free on PSN you should try it sometime
>>344633725
literally every part about this post is wrong
2nd boss 4th phase jump attack, how the fuck do you dodge it? I just tank it
>>344634903
comfy af
Why didn't they use more Guardians against Rider?
Why don't they all watch him at once rather than just The Chains?
If they have more Guardians they could have had shifts and The Voice could have seen his daughter whenever.
Why not throw Rider into the sun where he'd have no hope of ever escaping?
Why not put Rider in a literal box that he can't get out?
Why allow Rider to wear clothes?
>>344634987
Keep Dashing around
>>344634987
>jump attack
not sure what you're referring to here, phamilie.
>>344635048
Presumably once he dies they send another Rider.
>>344635048
>Why allow Rider to wear clothes
Okay, this one got me.
>>344635048
>Why didn't they use more Guardians against Rider?
They were confident in there ability to stop him
>Why don't they all watch him at once rather than just The Chains?
^
>If they have more Guardians they could have had shifts and The Voice could have seen his daughter whenever.
Maybe they did'nt have anymore willing to take the role
>Why not throw Rider into the sun where he'd have no hope of ever escaping?
No clue, guess they didn't think of it?
>Why not put Rider in a literal box that he can't get out?
His cell had no issue holding him. They probably didn't expect anyone to free him either
>Why allow Rider to wear clothes?
The chain didn't want to see his alien wiener waving around
>>344635308
he's a prisoner and they're torturing him
why let him keep his power suit?
>>344635424
they had a fuck load of people taking him down why not more to keep him in there?
>>344635424
why take chances with the dude that could literally blow up earth
put him in a box
>furier second boss (lightsade girl)'s second phase
FUCK ME
>The Hand brought his son
>The Voice didn't bring his daughter and is butthurt
why the fuck didn't eh bring his daughter?
>>344635578
>>344635647
No one said the Guardians were the brightest bunch, just the strongest. Like I said, they were more than confident in their ability to stop rider. Chain especially.
>>344635713
Meant to say last phase. Dodging walls AND that swinging laser? I made it out with 1 hp.
>>344635719
"Don't worry, If he really loved him, He wouldn't have moved here"- the voice if you go up to the door after killing the hand.
Likely he thought it was more than a bad idea
>>344635884
Also in his dialogue for The Line(I think?) he mentions that he had no idea he'd end up trapped in the prison. Which is kind of weird when you considerhe supposedly designed it.
