>>724273257False.I fucking suck at the game but the gameplay is so good.
>>724273691death to men
>>724273790>death to -ACKyou will never be a woman
>>724273212It's the kind of game that you're supposed to go back to after finishing to maximize either speed or score per level. Just playing through for the story isn't particularly great, but each update has added interesting stuff, at least.>>724273432>>724273493>>724273691don't associate with the ultrakill community, these guys are right about tranny shit infesting it.
This game is just too ADHD for me, way too much focus on movement and trick shots
game is score based, it's meant to be replayed and try to find ways to kill shit in a way that feels good to you, think of it as an arcade game.>>724273432>>724273493i've fun with the game and i didn't need to chop my dick or shove a vibrator up my ass though, sounds like a skill issue.
>>724273212I thought the robot had boobies
>>724273212When you insert the buttplug
>>724274715the cyan one does sometimes
>>724273212the first level 0-1Alternatively: P-1: SOUL SURVIVOR>>724274491I wouldnt really call it score based. The sheer style count doesnt mean much. The first playthrough is amazing and the second p-rank playthrough is mostly just about killing everything without dying, the S in style is trivial as long as you dont restart a checkpoin t
>>724274445you can keep it simple if you want for majority of the game. if you actually make it to the lategame its very unlikely you wont be in the mood of itat the beginning, dont keep trying to force silly movement and trick shots when youre getting used to the game. stand your ground, shoot stuff upfront, punch and shoot things in whatever way feels more direct for you, and evolve your tricks and arsenal in a way that is actually natural for you
>>724275273but you need a good score and time to get the P-ranks to unlock the sanctums, said good ranks also give you more money so you can buy the weapon variations and skins (though the prices were pretty cheap iirc, probably they will re-balance it later so first time players have to replay it more, i dunno), and things can get hectic in brutal, so aiming for an ultrakill style can save you from that hard damage cap
>>724273212once the first enemy spawns in.>>724273432>>724273493>>724274765trannies have played every videogame in existence. if that's your metric for a game being tranny then stop playing videogames
>>724273212I got filtered when I encountered the running fire guy that chases your ass but becomes invincible until find and break the invincibility buff thing. That kind of game design is just too retarded for me
>>724273845neither will you, faggot, fuck off.
>>724273212when you download the officially endorsed lovesense mod and let the game stimulate your prostate like the pathetic faggot you are
>>724274445 that's fair honestly, the game expects a lot from you early on. but once you get a feel for the movement, it clicks hard. it's less about being cracked with trickshots and more about keeping a rhythm going. think doom eternal if it was made by a speedrunner on a 3-day meth binge. give it a bit more time, or watch a quick vid to see how others approach it, might help reframe the pacing.
>Halloween themed enemiesKinda gay ngl
>>724276289Running fire guy? Who's that
>>724276048>aiming for an ultrakill style can save you from that hard damage capthis is a trap. taking damage lowers your ranking and lowers your cap at the same time, so even if you're at the highest style rating a few consecutive hits will bring you to death in moments. Parrying enemy attacks is the only way to stay fully healed on the most difficult levels (P-2, 0-E, 1-E). You should be watching enemies and projectiles first and foremost, and doing instant-kill combos in the brief moments inbetween. Those instant-kill weapons (railgun, alt-shotgun, alt-pistol) are your bread and butter. Other high-damage combos (core-sniping, rocket sniping, projectile-boosting, sawblade traps, coins) are only for encounters you know by heart and can predict where enemies will be.I never watch my style ranking. Weapon-freshness shouldn't be on your mind when trying not to die. If you can complete a level without dying and within the time limit, you'll almost ALWAYS have enough style for P-rank.
>>724276048the score and time is relatively the easy part, in most levels you should get them almost automatically provided you successfuly killed all the enemies without dying. Or at least that was my experienceonly a few places here and there were tough on time, but generally the challenge is just not dying. Even moreso for these Encore levels and P-2so yeah, i consider the style gauge more of just the hard damage mechanic than anything. Once youre good enough it stops doing a good job of matching real, intrinsic style anyway.>>724276868i think you can turn it offi like it when replaying but i would be very annoyed if it was my first playthroughAlso this is the first time i ever see someone play with psx filter kek, actually made that screenshot look really good
>>724277043you can still get a lot of healing from ultrakill ranks at high difficulty levels and specially cybergrind, its very common for you to take damage and almost instantly get sent back to UKBut its not really something i actively aim for and play around. I just watch out for it and take whatever im given for granted. I agree that weapon freshness is practically irrelevant, but the style rating should be looked at: Knowing whether whiplashing a far away enemy for healing will give you 50 or 100 health is sort of a big deal
>>724276120>trannies have played every videogame in existencethere's a difference between playing and enjoying playing :)
>>724273212Act 2 has the best music. I replay 4-2, 4-4, 5-1, and 6-1 just for the way the music amplifies the feeling of beating an encounter. The satisfaction of getting a P-rank for the first time while that music is playing is unmatched in other games for me.
>>724276390>>724273845>>724273790Could you people lighten up?Jesus christ.
>>724277578for me it was>playing 4-2 right after beating P-1, long before P-2 released>that one riff comes in>suddenly the thought crosses my mind: "What if this is the prime boss melody for this chapter?"did not disappointand also>arrive at 4-4>the tiny guitar notes in the background start playing during the walking section>instantly realise its V2
>>724277578I'ma let you finish but WAR WITHOUT REASON is the goat.
>>724277981the violence layer not having the usual breakcore music makes its entrance even more kino
>>724277053>Not playing with the PSX graphicsWhat's even the point? Looks stupid with it cranked up like an emulated PS1 game. Oh wait you aren't old enough to remember a PSX on a CRT
People who watch ultrakill also watch AI negro zulu tribe titties? Thanks youtube.
>>724273212>learn some cool combos>replay for faster speed or challenge>don't play on pussy difficulty>actively try to engage with movement and parriesIt's very fun when you get into it but like DMC you have to get into. If you treat it like a button masher the way Mayo did you aren't going to have fun. Don't interact with the community though they are weird. Genuinely one of the best DMC-inspired games ever made
>>724273212this game is good immediately even though pitr is a gay retard trying his hardest to ruin itplay around with lightning, fire, magnetism, rebounds etc. there's a lot of fun weapon interactions that aren't obvious
>>724278912basically this yeah. just find a rhythm shooting and moving. once you get the hang of parries and dodging, you're basically immortal so you can be as cool as you feel like being.
>>724275273>>724276048It's almost impossible not to get a good score, at the very start of the game you have like 15 ways to get yourself points>Air shot>Headshot>Stomp>Parry>Projectile Parry>Pierce>Break environment>Parry off environmentAnd then you get the shotgun and the nailgun very quickly
>>724273212it doesnt unless you are on hrt.
>>724279002until you get to the encore levels. More specifically the radiant boss fights. Also the jump in difficulty from Violence to Brutal is most noticeable in the drones which go from party balloons full of free blood to being a swarm of angry bees just far enough to explode and hurt you rather than give you healing.
>>724277167Hitting Ultrakill resets your white health yeah but that's not entirely reliable when taking damage stops your rank from increasing for a little bit, and pushing to UK is hard
>>724279367Encore levels are designed as Post P2 content so yeah, they're difficult. Not impossible but frankly Radiant is some of the biggest bullshit when it comes to DT-like effects. I can only assume the way the game is clearly DMC-esque we unlock a radiant V1 ability after the game finishes. Probably tied to kills though
>>724277578Guts and Glory in 3-1 is still unmatched for me, i think that was the moment the whole game clicked from feeling like i'm just surviving to actually enjoying the carnage, and the staircases on piano during that song really elevated it all6-1 is absolutely insane but i knew what i was in for by then
>>724279518it doesnt stop it from increasing, just lowers itonce you play the game enough getting UK and SSS feels near constant, outside of a few silly things that give too little style>>724279367I thought that boss was completely fucked up when i first faced it, but now that ive played it some more i adore it. I actually managed to get sort of consistent at them for P-ranksI fucking hate the radiant cerberus though>>724279598i think theyre more meant for post campaign, not post p-2all things considered their encounters generally dont reach the rape level of p-2's first room and double idoled mindflayer, but their p-ranks are very much on that level of challenge. Specially because their bosses are more unpredictable than prime souls, you cant 'just memorize' the agni rudra + hideous mass rape room
>two streetcleaners come from around the cornerHow many levels have this trope? I like to think its the same two guys each time. Also I hate streetcleaners as an enemy. They have just enough health to not die easily to sawblades or splash damage, can deflect rockets and grenades, rush you down, and do such high damage that the floor is basically lava as soon as they spawn. They're basically a tax you have to pay in coins every time a fight starts.
It was truly special for a time, then Hackita listened to his discord buttbuddies and ruined itThe damage cap shit was the beginning of the end
>>724279754>bot enemiesThey feel like a retarded family to V1, I kind of like them. It's a shame that the game is just murder cause the first swordsmachine you meet in 0-2 felt bro-coded
>>724273212troon game
>>724279754Shoot them with the slab piercer chargeshotgun + knuckleblaster also works wonders for a single one. Overpump and maliciousrail-on-core nuke will chunk them so its good too, in fact nuke instakills if close enough
>>724279839>"hey everyone im STILL whining about shit from 999 years ago that nobody that actually plays the game feels bothered by!"no joke, you dropped the game because of changes you dont like in your imagination rather than how they actually play in practice
I hate the redesign.
>>724278723more like on HRT
I EAT EARTHMOVERS!
>>724280013Im cool with most of it but there were a few fucked up downgrades here and there.They fucking SQUANDERED the minos prime arena. why is it so fucking bright
>>724279754i mean if you aren't throwing coins into the air at the start of every fight just because you like the sound then that's a you problem
>>724279996Schizo gibberishHe ruined the game
>>724279839the damage cap is the literal only thing keeping you from being able to no brain through the whole game.without it you could just point blank shotgun blast everything and never die.
>>724280013this. I like the upgraded graphics on the levels, but the UI changes were awful. Everything has chamfers now, and the terminals/buttons look like shit now. Old terminals had each window as a physical rectangle hovering slightly above the screen, it gave a cool hologram look to it all. New terminals are a garish win95 knock-off and everything is low-resolution. You can actually see the change best in the enemy and weapons descriptions menu, everything is crammed into a low-res 2D window where before you had the actual 3D model in front of you to view.I don't care if the person Hackita asked to re-do the UI tried really hard, it looks worse and doesn't match with anything else in the game.
>>724280013I can forgive most of it, but the addition of mountains in 5-2 and the Earthmover's red fog in 7-4 suck ass
>>724279754>can deflect rockets and grenadesunless you hit them from behind, sending them fly with a stomp makes them pretty vulnerable
>>724279754I always try to make sure my railgun is charged when I know one of the streetcleaner ambushes is coming so I can just sweep them aside and keep moving. Personally, they were always my most hated enemy when I started out, but since the addition of brutal difficulty, I think I'd actually rate them at the low end of the scale of enemies that I hate.
>>724273212When you chop your willy off
>>724280668i'm pretty surprised to hear so many people hate streetcleaners so much unless they're all just willfully not using coins against them, i've never even thought about them since now guttertanks on the other hand, what the fuck is this shit
>>724279754protip: they can't dash while in the middle of another dash, spam whiplash until you catch one then knuckleblast it into the sky.>>724280867guttertanks are annoying as shit on brutal, they're the only regular enemy i would call a 'damage sponge' since there's no real inherent weaknesses other than freezing thier rockets and shooting them, but that doesn't do major damage and disables your freezeframe ability for a few seconds.
>>724279996there's an unhealthy cycle where hakita's discord groomers tell him the game is too easy (if you play it for 13000 hours optimizing for dps) and then he redesigns the game to appeal specifically to them
I scrolled past this thread like 8 times before I realized it wasn't an undertale thread. Pixel game devs really have it tough
>>724280867>>724281005the only thing you can do on brutal is pausing their rockets, shoot some of yours and then shove their asses with magnets, let those rockets get buffed and let the timefreeze run out
>>724281168lmfao that brings up a great point, Hakita took away the game's artistic integrity
>>724280867As the other guy said, they have just enough health that you can't just sweep them aside, they're fast as hell and constantly up your ass, and they deal a lot of damage. I've never been too good at coin kills on them, personally, so it's not my go to solution.I actually don't mind guttertanks too much. They're a huge target, they move slowly, and they're kind enough to drop health packs for you every so often. Personally, my two most hated enemies in brutal are actually filth and commandos. Commandos move way too goddamn quickly for me to be able to track, and filth are just annoying with their jump that scatters them all over the map and makes groups of filth take like five times longer to kill on brutal than it took on violent.
>>724281005They actually have a cooldown on their dash. It's like 3-5 seconds I think, so you don't need to spam whiplash. You can just trigger the dash and then grab them at your leisure.
>>724276120>implying troons knows or even dares to play cunnyge
>>724277578for me its He Is the Light in My Darkness and Danse Macabre, but of course tracks like Altars, Sands, ORDER, World looks Red etc are still pure kinoNo Devil Lived On has got me movin different though, cant wait for Fraud
>>724273212P-1I fought minos prime while in the air 90% of the time and had alot of fun. Didnt know you were supposed to be on the ground until i watched someone else do it. I really wish the nail gun was hitscan and the overheat wasnt a glorified shotgun. All the weapons other than the pistol feel pretty terrible if youre not right on top of enemies with them
>>724280051pretty nice of hell for fullfilling our walking gopro's purpose now what's next? is he gonna make us fight v1 clones? is hell going to rematerialize the copies killed by the transporting tunnels?
>>724281072This is obviously true but I hold out hope that he'll be forced to smooth the difficulty curves out by New Blood.I know on their other games Dave Oshry made a point of ensuring normal difficulty was balanced for him, specifically because he knew he kind of sucks and represents the average player better than the kind of people making boomer shooters.
>>724273212REMINDEREvery fan and dev of ULTRATRANNY is a shitty Redittor larping as old school gamer that unironically stands for having their own balls cut so they don't reproduce anymore.
>>724273212>When does it get good?It doesn't. You've been rused, bub.
>>724273432they already took my man hood when I was a baby
>>724273212it's alright but after 100 hours or so I got bored and never came back. Got repetitive real fast. Also yeah, the community has more faggot trannies than gentoo
>guy that people consider the current representation of Duke Nukem, the Balls of Steel chad, is a fucking faggot that cut his own balls off to avoid breeding and ended up marrying a trannyIt's so fucking ironical on absurd levels. Also his Duke's voice is full of effects. Other people around can make better without using audio edition.He's now looking like Eric Cartman on steroids.
>>724273212Man I haven't played in a while, and I forgot how fucking ugly the main menu is nowThe OG was simple, you were descending into hell with a nice melody attached Now you have this over designed crap that tells you nothing other then you're a robot
What's even the appeal?
>>724289291funnee weapons that you can mix up and decent bosses for a fps
>>724286295i'm sure getting C ranks on standard will be easy enough. i'm more worried the higher difficulties will just not let you do anything fun or even experiment with your weapons because that would be "OP"
>>724289810I don't think I'd consider the hard difficulties actually being hard a problem.
>>724289291There's literally always more actions you can be doing to get even better results. This means that you wind up doing more and more until you hit full mental engagement in a way that's fairly uncommon even among high skill or fast paced games. RTS games are some of the only games that can do this, but more people have base-level skill with FPS and this is singleplayer so you aren't punished for playing to your own limits instead of someone else's.tl;dr supports playing with ludicrously high APM and rewards you for doing so and that's fun.
>>724289282I like that the new menu changes as you unlock more arms.
>>724290505I will admit that's cool, but the origional just felt better to look at. You had a nice calm tune, the sound of falling down the hell elevator shaft, and a simple "play - options - quit"
>MACHINE>TURN. BACK. NOW.Okay, I'm engaged.
