what does /v/ think of this? i just boughted it
>>724226491Full of half-baked ideas and padded to the extremeIts not as mindlessly "hehe number go up" fun as Vampire Survivors and not as skill based as something like Binding of IsaacIt just feels like an actual waste of time with too little dopamine hit
It feels like playing on a badly coded N64 emulator. After maybe half an hour, everything slows down to a crawl.
Played it all day yesterday, games biggest issue is how much of time stages take
>>724226610>skill-based>binding of isaac
>boughted
>>724226491Its fun
>>724226491I don't get the point of the base building part other than being an annoyance
>>724226994Except it feels I'm more at the whim of RNG than most other games of this kindIf the numbers don't fall into place, you just lose through no fault of your own
>>724226897>he can't clear mega stan without breaking the gameI'll give you Delirium, though.Although I feel he was designed specifically for when you have a game breaking build
>>724226491played it for a while with gamepass, pretty fun and addictive, I only made it to the fourth boss, the mushroom thing. thought I'm not buying it, not worth the money.
Its kind of lacking in late-game. It has good ideas, but its smothered by numbers going up making novel strategies useless.Charm, spamming golems and taking damage-reduction passives is completely useless. Ghost and Wind balls are semi-useless.It has hints of good ideas. Frozen Shores level enemies being immune on one side, Heaven level enemies catching your balls and starving you, fungal forest spamming you to death if you dont take area-effect attacks. But all strategies just boil down to either making bomb-balls or spamming baby balls.And the base building could use more mechanics. Perhaps possible to recruit "backup" abilities for resources/upkeep or something like it. Currently its just too threadbare and only gives you "numbers go up".
>>724226491loved megabonk, liked cloverpit, didn't like ballpit demo
>>724226996Once you get the spa blueprint, which I think is the 20th or so one you get, build four gold mines and spam harvest at them, using spa to harvest again for a price.You'll make a profit and get a shit ton of money.Then build the market and buy resources.Congratulations, you can now max your base halfway through the game.>>724226491It's fun. Lots of interesting evolutions, and I love how every fusion works in the best possible way. One of those games where you're never disappointed how a fusion works, it's always the way you wanted it. Like flash flicker or sun with their global effects, can now apply any status to everything, including black hole's instakill.
It's total slop. Tedious time gating, absurd metaprogression that lets you start with 3 max level balls, completely trivial past the first couple of runs.
>>724226491I’m gonna ask for a refund tomorrow morning. And this is coming from a person who likes shit like vampire survivors.
I'm scratching my balls. I scratched my balls and sniffed my fingers
>>724227220I'll give you charm is a bit weak, because it comes so late, but both evos that give berserk are broken as fuck.
>>724226491>boughtedGOOD MORNING SAAR
>>724226996adds all kinds of stat boosts and extra options like taking two characters at once in, starting with max balls and passives, bonus xp. Stuff like that. All of it helps to clear levels
>>724226996>being an annoyanceit drip-feed stats so they didn't have to take care of balancing the game.
I don't understand why the Radical exists.At least the Cogitator is a bit challenging.But this is fucking boring. This isn't the reason I play video games.
>>724226491I bought it too after wasting 30 hours on megabonk and saying I wouldn’t buy these games anymore. Well it’s less of a waste of time then megabonk and vampire saviors. I don’t feel completely empty like I just wasted 30 hours of my life and regretted it
>>724226491Mid like most devolver sloppa
>>724227982He should have been plays himself but you still get to pick. It took me forever to beat the last stage with him.
>>724226491It's fun. Embedded is my fav so far. Just shoot straight at the boss lmao
>>724228040you sound like a massive faggot. entertainment is a time-waste by default
tried it on goypass, very very mid. glad i didnt actually buy it on steam.
Sometimes when I hit play some characters have this gold bonus. Is it just random or any way I can control who gets it?
>>724226491played through it, maxed out the baseI think it's fun but I really don't care to keep playing to get achievements or do NG+it sucks that some evolutions change the way the original balls work in a way that can fuck up your build like sun to blackholethere's also so few passive evolutions. A lot of the passives are shit too.
>>724226491It's popular with streamers so it's automatically shit.>b-but then you must think that [X] is shit too!Yes.
>>724227220>Charm is uselessAlmost all balls by themselves are bad. It's their evolutions that make them busted.Just slap a Charm evo on Flash/Flicker ball, and you win.
>>724229451You can slap anything on flash/flicker and win.The game is so unbalanced it's impossible to lose unless you purposefully gimp yourself, and the margin between automatically winning and automatically losing is so small that you can't make the game challenging but fair.
>>724228948Just say ur a pleb who probably spent even more hours than me on megabonk. Art and video games in general can be very enriching whether through story or gameplay. A slot machine game like this and megabonk are inherently empty, like real life slot machines except no chance of winning any money. It just preys on ur dopamine. No enriching story or world, no gameplay that enhances any skill like hand eye coordination or strategical thinking. It’s just garbage just afking on your chair instead of the casino
>>724226491I like it. Beat it yesterday and now just grinding out achievements. Really just have Scholar left. Need two encyclopedia entries but it’s RNG on getting what I need in a run.I hope they add some additional content. Some new characters would be great and something late game to dump resources into.
>>724226491Not for me.It's one of those "I have 15 minutes to spare, what should I play?" games.Fills a role, but I like other such games better.
>>724230043When I have only 15 minutes to spare I feel like it's a waste playing anything and just watch something on youtube
>>724226491Not enough balls tbhq, should have been at least double the amount, aside from some a few combinations, you get to discover them all too quickly
>>724229604>You can slap anything on flash/flicker and winNot really. Once you're doing Fast+9 on NG++, status effects like Charm are more beneficial than raw damage.
>>724230721I got bored before finishing NG+ because it's the same shit
>>724226491All of these popular games that are popular for 5 minutes are just different skins of cookie clicker slop.
It just made me want to play Binding of Isaac again. It's barely above an idle game.
