Enjoying the mouse game so far, /v/ros?
Now that I'm learning to put the shield away between missed parries I'm liking it a lot more
>there are jumpscares in the gamewhy
>>739912565to make it scary
I don't think it's for me, which makes me sad to be honest. I signed up because it was supposed to be like GBC Zelda with some Castlevania but instead it's mixing up "Soul" with "Souls" series on design. I've only cleared one tower after six hours of play and even cranked up all the modifiers to full Exploration Mode and still lost because the game is meant to be incremental exploration and unlocking paths for backtracking, and I'm just not seeing the fun in the game at this point after several hours with it. I'm glad others are enjoying it, though, but if I wanted to play a Souls game, I'd play a From Software game, not some LA pixel game imitating it.I also don't like that combat is basically hammed up around the jump button for evasion and all. I wish there was actual dodging like back dashes which the hammer weapon gives but for all styles, and I still don't know what R1 / RB does outside of making Mina's sprite hunch or change slightly.I can totally see why YCG is worried about going under if this doesn't sell well, since it's not for everyone, despite all the journos likely using the modifiers to get through it after Mixtape was their GOTY with no gameplay required.
How do I get over there? Can't find an entrance anywhere.
RAT LIVES MATTER
>>739913323Door on the right, you have to burrow under it
>>739913323Use the other door
>>739913452Mina is a mouse, thougheverbeit
>>739911812Yeah.Does anyone know what the "treasure at the end of the rails" hint is about? Or, probably related, how to go west of the Coltrane train? Without instantly falling into a pit.
>they literally put a "this hole was made for me" moment into the game
can i go back to the ship after the prologue and get the other 2 weapons?
>>739914195No, the other weapons are in the shop in town
Have some Mina art, an anon in a different thread said they wanted her in goggles
>>739913995It's very in vogue lately, Mewgenics and Slay the Spire 2 also referenced it.OMG Churafi!
Autistic fox wife................
I' not spending money on some retro pixel art shit lmao
If there's one thing i love about the game, unlike shit like Silksong it absolutely doesn't fuck around with upgradesUpgraded your hammer? Second stage of ignition can oneshot nearly everythingGot a trinket? There's a high chance it's actually incredibly strong like a motherfucking Second Chance from DeS
>>739914525I did because I have a job and am not poor
Been busy playing for the last 2 days, it rules, why the fuck is it attracting so many retards
>>739914672It's a good game so naturally /v/ contrarians are going to shit themselves in rage over it
>>739914672It's mainly one obsessed schizo who's been making hate threads about the game and Yacht Club Games for the past year or so, some additional shitposters have probably latched onto his antics now that it got released
>>739914892wouldn't be surprised if it was Psychojosh, that guy has a massive hateboner for indie games and a long history of shitting up threads about them
>having a blast>complete the prologue, opening up the world >get overwhelmed by choice and stop playing Anyone else like this? How do I get over my decision paralysis?
>>739914525I bought it twice to make up for poorfags like you
>>739915123Just find one interesting thing and follow it. For example at the start of the game I heard in town that one of the hollowers went missing and headed south to see what was up with that. Got that sorted then got back to town where I did a bunch of upgrades/unlocks/secrets before heading west and letting whatever seemed interesting guide me and ended up in the bayou dungeon.
>>739915123Just read the newsapapers and do what it says is next.
>>739911812I think the Zelda 2 system does the game zero favors and am baffled by its inclusion in the game.
>>739915805whats the zelda 2 system?
>>739915805What's wrong with it? I think it's nice to see something different than the norm.
This game is a lot of fun but Mina is a terrible character so far. In-universe she's a completely infallible warrior-genius because that's the BlackRock-approved direction to take female protagonists of course but she acts real high and mighty for a ||common bike thief||. It would also be nice if they made her even a little bit cute/sexy and have her act like she enjoys life a tiny amount. She does not, in fact, look like she fucks human men, or anything else for that matter
>>739916028>fucked up the spoilergonna kms
Are there any glaring issues that need a patch?
>>739916028>In-universe she's a completely infallible warrior-geniustry playing past the first couple hours, polfag
>>739916090Yeah, her human boyfriend (me) is not in the game.
>>739916019I just think it's unnecessary, frankly. I believe the game would have been better off having no leveling system and being a straighter Zelda-like which it clearly wanted to be, but again, that's just my opinion on the game. It's decently well crafted beyond the inclusion of that.
>>739916176What would the souls be for then? They definitely wanted the soul mechanic in the game and the level up method is good enough.
>>739916115woah are you saying i haven't finished the game i just got yesterday evening yet
>>739915956The way the level ups work, You get prompted when you get enough bones, or delay the level up until you get enough for whatever your most expensive upgrade is, OR bank it once. I don't think it really detracts anything, it just stands out a bit because its the zelda 2 system,
>>739914432Anon she will get you killed it is not worth
>>739916236The thing is it isn't really a soul mechanic, its almost like a lives system in disguise. you lose all your lives. your 'score' is reset. the only way to get more lives is to either find the one you dropped or level up. Its really nothing like the dark souls system at all.
>>739916480I can fix her....
>>739916236>What would the souls be for then?The upgrades already present in the game. But no, your second point is a good way to summarize my qualm with it. It's hammered in there because they just wanted it in there and I think the leveling cheapens the greater whole of the exploration side of the game.Again, fine game otherwise. I just prefer when everything is more balanced around your toolkit rather than some arbitrary level (which to some degree it still tries to be, to give it some credit).
>pointblank buster doubletaps, with an even stronger melee hit than the melee formI understand the appeal to this weapon now
>>739912975Nta but getting startled is not scary
fuck you, let me in
>>739912375So how do you actually use the shield optimally?
>>739916915Damnit, I knew you could get the ladder out of the bayou but I couldn't figure it out.
>>739912565how the fuck does a game like this have jumpscares?
I think I've had an npc die tragically after every dungeon so far.
>>739917237Do they disappear in a puff of smoke or do they just rot in there?
>>739917145You can't enter while holding it and it'll eventually kick you out and leave without you. If there is a way to get it out of the bayou, I haven't figured it out. There's maybe two item spots I can think of that seem like they'd need it though.
Loving it, it absolutely leaks soul and care.Absolutely fuck the bayou/swamp level. Fuck it to hell, never been happier to be done with a segment in a game in my life. I don't know why indie devs keep thinking to themselves >brooooooo you know how everyone hates the water temple from OOT? What if we did our own version but trust me, we'll make it good!!!Cos it never ever ever fucking works.
>>739917205Sometimes the screen gets dark enough for anons to see their reflection
>>739911812very much so
>>739917340>entombed alive, >eaten by their own pet, >struck by lightning, >crushed by Mina's fat ass.
>>739917431>entombed aliveI just walked away from that weirdo.
>>739917480Shame, he gives arguably the best trinket in the game
So after I finished the spooky scary pumpkinman, I went back to the schoolhouse and all the kids are ghosts now. The teacher said something like "they're still out there"; is this a sidequest or just meaningless NPC dialogue
>>739914291Where are the nipples?
>>7399176532/4 of them were ghosts for me, but I've run through that area three times and never found the other two
>>739914432Post her portrait
>>739917653Its actually some very nice story telling and symbolism. The dead kids represent all the white kids blacks have randomly killed this year (the dev of the game wants it MUCH higher) and the second line is basically telling you to donate money to BLM
739917820go back
>>739917563he doesn't give you the vascular syrup.
>>739917820based, that's four less we gotta worry about
>>739917105If you guard a hit, the shield cracks and won't guard or parry the next one. You want to put it away then take it back out at that point.Outside of parrying, the shield throw upgrade is pretty amazing to extend by burrowing.
>>739917895Ya I bet you tranny freaks love that. Good thing your ilk are killing themselves at break neck (lol) speeds. Have a nice long look in the mirror next time and when you see all your manly features it might speed up the process
>>739918036>Good thing your ilk are killing themselves at break neck (lol) speeds.yeah and all of them are white too kek
>>739917653HA I saved them, They are in side areas while you are being chased. Maybe you can still find them out there or maybe you missed out.
>>739917431Well he asked to be sealed so that's on him
you will now play King of Cards
>>739918036>oh you think it's funny when whitebois die? well do you also think it's funny when whitebois castrate themselves and jump off of bridges?GEGGGGGGGG xister really thought xe ate
>there is a rainbow road dungeon This shit is so cool but I hate it
Am I supposed to have some swimming skill for the swamp or traverse strictly with the Mousemobile?
>>739917352This is the furthest I managed to get it.Raft makes water your playground but ropes are unfortunately a hard block.
Everyone and their mother is hyping this game to me like it's anything more than meh retrobait from a tired, dated indie dev team. In a post Silksong world, there is no place for Shovelware.Also Mina's not hot. Don't even @ me.
>>739919020Not handing you free mouse porn, go find it yourself doofus
>>739918930You can use your most basic skills to go through the whole swamp
739919020low effort bait
>>739918930You can "swim" in deep water by burrowing, but only for as long as you're in the burrow. So you basically just use it to jump over gaps of deep water.
why is this game begging for RPG maker 2dhq/weg parody?
I think a large part of my opinion is going to be on how much shit carries to NG+ because there's way too many money sinks in this game. Money sink for upgrades, cloaks, underlab additions, core progression. At least enemies actually scale cash pretty well, unlike Silksong's broke niggas.>>739918930You can swim by default, just burrow. It is the sole thing I learned from the ingame manual.
>>739919160forgot the text
as someone who dearly loves the Zelda GBC games and love challenging games and have Zelda 2 as one of my top 5 Zeldas, would someone like me enjoy the game?
>>739918936That's the problem, there's ropes in all three directions you can go with it. Maybe if there's some hilarious magic trick to throw it on top of the north waterfall, that's the only remaining thing I can think of.
>>739919253Yes, any 2D zelda enjoyers will absolutely love this game
>>739919160I need to stop by with a few trinkets to see if he reacts to them. Lots of npc's have interactions, most of the time they just give you bones, but sometimes there is a trinket.
>>739919020>shovelwareThat’s their last game, this is mouseware
>>739919323the ones that make the ground sludge when you burrow or toxic whatever has to, my plan was to do that
>>739919370
and retards say this shit is hard>>739912981cry more faggot i ate this game the fuck up
>there is actually a collection list Thank fucking god
>>739918169I'm going back through all those chase areas now and I haven't found any of them yet.
that last fight was a bit of a cat and mouse game
Big fan of lemon lime Mina, I bet most of you fags are rocking pink
>blm gameno thanks, keep your slop for yourself
>>739919712Fuck crackers
Shoutout to the /pol/ tourists for giving me anti-Mina fatigue and getting me to check the game out, it's excellent so far
>>739911812this game would've been better if it had roguelite mechanics and permadeath
>didn't save any of the children and they fucking get killed by The Carving Man>accidentally entomb a guy>killed a leaf and robbed his corpse at the funeralWhy the fuck are there so many bad ends in this game
>>739920036kek that happened to me too. I see /v/ having a melt down over game I was ignoring, it looks up my alley, and turns out it's good
>>739920514bravo miyazaki
>>739920514wtf it’s possible to not save those kids??
>>739920514that's the whole gamethey should have the credits roll and say 'owlboy 2' at the end
>>739920514>>739920548I'm starting to think you can't save the kids because I went all the way through the entire zone again and found no trace of them anywhere.
>>739920514>accidentally entomb a guyI thought the guy wants to be entombed alive
>>739920514>accidentally
>>739911812Isnt this game woke?
>>739920729Yeah, I played it for only 20 minutes and now I want to do a heckin' communism. It's SO woke.
>>739920784Fuck off r/gcj tranny, the devs donated 20k to BLM which was a scam charity.
>>739920824you'll survive
>walk through mirrors to fast travel>except the guy inside one shots youAwesome
>>739920036I'm just here to save Mina art
why did the game fail?
>>739920630You can save them. You have to find them all during the chase sections, they're in secret off to the side rooms. If you get all of them you get a lightning bolt trinket that makes thunder when you heal and sometimes when you get hit.
>be me>start humming a song>realize it's from shovel knight who I haven't touched in a decadeFuck is there really not a single memorable pice in this game?
>>739920870The only enemy I found in there was super easy, he died in like 4 hits
>>739920870Just run pass him 4head
>>739921209Virt's an old man now and probably hard of hearing. Falling was a sad inevitability.
>>739921023Everyone bought it on Switch. Only way to not get eye cancer looking at those pixels is to play on handheld.
>>739920514>"alright now shut the lid with me inside, don't worry I want this">okay>shuts lid>oh my god there's been an accident
>>739921209the crypt and bayou themes are excellent
>>739921565I'll get it on pc if some unhinged autist makes a nude mod or something.
>>739921565concordfags had the same cope and in the end the game sold the majority of sales on pc
>>739921827???How would that translate to a game boy resolution game?
>>739920514>accidentally entomb a guyDon't worry he's fine
>>739917365>blitzed the bayou without realizing I was at the boss because I did the Sea Serpent Corpse first. I was trying to find my way back to give the guy his jug. Add 'bad reaction to simochi' to list of npc deaths.
>>739921979It would require a pixel artist of great skill, dedication, and depravity.
>>739917365Zelda wasn't hard because of the combat, the challenge is navigating and understanding the puzzles and mechanics of the dungeons. That's why indieslop like this can never measure up.
>>739922478Minas lava puzzles have been quite inventive and fun.
bat sex
Games pretty good so far but I get the feeling that the game will be E33'd and forgotten by everyone like SilkSong did.
>>739922613I haven't played Mina yet but most people seem to be talking mostly about the combat and upgrades, which seems to be a different approach than 2d Zelda which people have been comparing it to. I also didn't like Shovel Knight because focus exclusively on battles and platforming with little story, puzzles or exploration got repetitive. I'm thinking of trying Mina but it wouldn't surprise me if it's overhyped in a similar way.
>>739911812Am I bad because this guy is kicking the shit out of me?
>>739922775Yes
>>739922775no, he's probably the hardest boss compared to how early it is in the game
>>739922775Maxi's a girl. She's one of the tougher earlier game bosses, so don't feel too bad.
>>739922775She's got a lot of health, but it's not that bad if you know how she works.>she loves to stand still while her sidearms are resolving>she does wiggle worm shit with her whip nearly every time, so just try to jump over it and run away
>>739922996>>739923024>that thing is supposed to be a girl toowhy is Yacht Club so bad at designing female micethey made a bunch of other S E X O females in this game, but why do they struggle with mice
Sure wish I found these before I did the water, and ice level!
>>739923130I had them before the ice level but forgot about them and thus did the whole ice level without them
where go to after do beat moth? two moth
I used to think people with depth perpection problems were retards, then I got to this fucking room
>>739923093They don't want people wanting to fuck the mice.
There are a lot of hidden modifiers that need a new save to start by entering in a certain string for the save name. The most interesting one is "CH&BACKER" because it's for select backers from the crowdfund. Who knows what that one does. I wonder how long it will take before those journos copy paste this list without researching kek.https://pastebin.com/Z27j8fWR
>>739911812So is this like an actual zelda game with an overworld and dungeons or is it linear?
>>739911812I'm at the halfway point, three generators restored. Seven and a half hours, fourteen deaths total so far. Weapon of choice - Nightstar, fully upgraded as far as I know, done it twice.I feel like the game is getting easier as it goes on, not harder. I'm much more robust and can take more than a few hits. I just unlocked train travel, but I'm stumped on how to get to Bone Beach.
Has anyone found a better / faster bone farm than this area?
I have five out of six Beastiun stones now. Your max trinket count is six so I imagine that when you equip then all something happens. Has anyone managed it yet?
>>739923236How dare they
>>739922860>>739922996
>>739923297It's an actual open world, yes. It has "dungeons" but other than the first one, they're just extensions of the world. I guess it's closer to Hollow Knight / Silksong in that regard.But it's not linear, no.
>>739923130I just found them and am about to start the ice level but I refuse to give up a trinket slot for it
>>739923297overworld + dungeons
>>739923354>just run awaycoward detected
Pretty fun gameThe wind and lightning gimmicks in the autumn zone fucking sucked thoughAnd the tower climbing minigame is just annoying
>>739922613agreed.
I really enjoyed what I've played so far.Two concerns.>No map? The deeper I go into an area the more overwhelming it can feel because there's so many rooms.>Tying sidearms to navigation/puzzles but only letting you hold one at a time is PSYCHOTIC. It's terrible to see an obvious thing to do and I'm only restrained by the fact I don't even know where the nearest Axe is.
>>739923206>>739923206>>739923206>>739923206
>>739923318To get to bone beach you need to go two screens south from town and then head east until you see a big pit. You can jump up onto the purple plant and go down the stairs. Burrow under the purple plants on the ground and you can move them. Then you need to go out and down and in front of the house, move the plant in front of the blue barrier to the south and jump onto it. Then head east. If you fight a giant rat enemy you are going the right way to enter the Sandfalls. Unlock the building in the middle after a puzzle and you will then be at Bone Beach.
>>739923453There's a basic map you can see later but there's no good one. And there's not likely to be one because Yacht Club even advertised the fact there wasn't one as a feature.
>>739923614There is actually a map that shows you locations of sidearms and collectibles later on.
>>739923519You can MOVE the plant? What the fuck, man, did anything in the game hint at that?
>>739923453You'll get upgrades to your base that will let you save a sidearm (and keep the one you have after dying)
>>739923453You don't need a map because the world is more linear than it lets on. You can't get lost, you will always hit something big if you keep simply moving forward. Also the problem with the sidearms is mitigated multiple ways, you can store two of them at your base through upgrades and you can buy another upgrade behind the music joint from the purple guy once your sidearm level is 5. That one will let you hold two at the same time and switch between them on the fly although they share joules charges.
>>739923705No, but I guess you're intended to discover it accidentally or something.
>>739923705Yes, actually. If you were paying attention the one right outside of town had bones clearly buried underneath. Getting the bones would have forced you to learn how the plant moves. Many complaints about this game are like this, you thought you were paying attention but you were not. This one is on you anon.
>>739923705You can only move the ones that are on the ground rather than mid-air.And they're surrounded by buried bones peeking out from under them so you'd have to be clinically journalistic to miss it.
>>739911812>gamethat's a game?lmao
>>739923890Yeah, and it's GOTY 2026.Cope, jamal.
>>739923858I actually pushed on the plant and it didn't move though, that's why I'm so baffled. I went by that old manor and the purple plants three times seeing if I could figure it out. I'm gonna try it again right now.
Okay I see you have to burrow under the plant, I didn't think of that cause the main thing you do it jump to bounce off of them. I didn't even recognize the green underneath it as bones, they looked like vines to me.
>>739923343Seems like it. I've got 6 slots, but only 2(?) of the stones.
>>739911812I’m nonbuynary.
To anyone that played the game did they fix the issue the game had with depth from the demo? The demo poorly conveyed heights in areas and it was hard to tell what was above or below.In the Gameboy Zelda games it was easy to tell when you were going up or down in elevation but the tileset in Mina just looked too flat.
>>739924169I'm a glassesfag with fucked eyes and don't have any trouble telling above from below.
>>739924108Now get into the stairs up above and then make it east through the cave. Then you're on your way to Bone Beach. Remember that the purple plants let you jump up all the ledges outside. Also you can through a plant over a pit and as long as it lands on solid ground you can move it again. You can also throw it into a pit and make it fly.>>739924150nice try shlomo.
>>739923453Have you not been to the Hallower's Guild house? It should solve those problems, like giving you a map and letting you store sub-weapons. Also so far every puzzle room that needs a sub-weapon for it has a candle nearby with the required one.
>>739924169wow i forgot how bad gbc zelda handled depth
>>739924147I saw that too. Then I noticed the max trinket size was six and I tried to put two and two together. I bought the last stone from the guy under the station but he says he can't deliver it until I beat another generator. I just started on Mount Coltrain so it'll be awhile. Hopefully some other anon comes by with the answer. I doubt it though because there's hardly anyone as far in the game as I am.
i like everything about except for the healing mechanic. I'll stick with it of course but I don't think i'm going to comer around on this topic. it's just clunky and I don't know what they were going for.
>>739914291You deserve more (You)s for this anon. Great art.
>>739924550It feels better once you get the trinket that let's you store extra plasma. You will always have a full yellow bar pretty much. Alternatively quit being garbage at the game.
>>739920870Just finished the entire mirror area. The boss is probably going to piss a lot of people off when they get to it I imagine. It was pretty fun though.
>>739911812My heartrate was really fast here lol. I had no idea about the second phase and if I had died here, I would've lost all my upgrades. I spent the bone gems to restore my level 3 atk/def, if I had died here I would've just dropped the game right there and then.
>It takes longer to wind up my attack animation than it takes most armed enemies to shit out an attack and hit meI got dark souls fatigue
>>739924749Yeah, just did it too and it felt like a massive difficulty spike compared to the rest of the game.
>>739924914Why?
>>739924892You need to wait for your turn dingus.
Which feats are you guys going for? Currently got lopsided and bonestone tycoone but some of these others one are fucking impossible
>>739924721where is that i need it
>the third whip upgradenow this is ludo
>>739925372Go to the Backwaters in the southwest of the map. There is a big fat frog who gives you a trinket that's an empty jug. When you kill fifty people with it equipped and bring it back, something will happen. You will get your trinket after.
>>739924892In this game, you need to with a more defensive mindset. Think classic Castlevania.
>>739925492There's a THIRD upgrade? Where?
>Septemburg100% kino aesthetic10000% dogass area mechanics
>>739924550The only problem I have with the healing mechanic is that you basically can't heal after falling in a pit. It really should just take away health and leave plasma. Otherwise I think it's fine.
>>739925706in Ossex, behind the trinket smuggler that sells trinkets from other areas
>>739925720I actually really liked Septemburg besides the lightning
>>739925902Wait, I got that one already. That lion was a fucking fight. So if I bought that one from the blacksmith and then the lion, where's the other one?
>>739925706It's pretty easy actually. Equip the wallower gloves and go to the west part of town and then the big wide open door that leads to under the train station. Burrow into the wall and jump up the rope and pay four vials. Then go up and break the wall and burrow past the station j to the courtyard. Blow up the debris so you can heal without having to open the block again. Then go back west and fight the lion standing between you and the chest. You need five vials to open it. You can buy every upgrade from the furfaggot past the 4 vial block in the station underground.
>>739925720I'm fine with everything in Septemburg except the wind. It's so fucking annoying to respawn at your Underlab and not be able to go back in immediately because the wind is pushing you into plants which slow you down just enough that trying to fight the wind is fruitless. Just DON'T have wind next to the fucking hole!
>>739926017You know what I did to reach that lion? I used the shield sidearm to dash to the rope, hahaha. I don't even know where the wallower gloves are, but I heard a character mention them in that Scarecrow village.
>>739926017you can actually just go around the lion
>>739925720It's funny how the anti-electricity trinket trivializes the whole thing
This fight was really fun, is he always using your weapon or is he always whip?
Okay I'm stumped.
>>739926202no weapon changes, I just clowned her with the hammer while she was busy waggling
>>739926248if only you could use some subweapon to break it
>>739926295Oh, it's another "you need a specific subweapon here" puzzlegreat
>>739926325you can use at the very least 2 different ones
>combo attack multiplier trinket>whisper and vesper dagger spamez combat
>>739926017I went to try buying some stuff from that guy but he said it'd take "as long as it takes you to fix a Generator" to get the itemswhich kind of defeats the point of getting the items "early" when I only have two generators left
>>739926007You already know where it is.Don't you remember seeing it at the start?
>>739926248This one pissed me off because I had a trinket that let you emit a damaging pulse, but it wouldn't let me do the damage pulse underneath that fence, and I don't think the pulse even damages chests or obstacles anyway. What a shitload of fuck.
And how does one get here?
>>739926749from inside, duh
>>739920514>>739920630>missed the best trinket in the game
>>739926814You can't miss trinkets permanently, all of then can be bought
>>739926795Yeah, you'd think so, but I can't find any path that leads there. Going around checking every single wall everywhere, nothing so far.
My favourite part of the fishing in this game is the earrape joules you reel in sometimes.
god, the game is so fucking ugly
>>739926749>>739926918....oh, it was a corner right in the entry room that wasn't marked in any wayokay
>>739924772? if you died there you would only lose 15 miserable bones
>>739927029Probably playing with level down on death modifier
>>739911812I am. It's been a fun ride, and I've been enjoying the areas they made for the game. Minus the swamp area. It sucks, and the boss for it looks cool but is a let down.
>>739926248i've seen some of the yellow/gold rubble that looks like it can be destroyed but the throwing axe doesn't work. Do only specific sub weapons break them?
>>739927029I'm playing veteran mode which levels you down if you die twice without getting back the blue sphere
>>739911812Just finished waging, downloading it right now
>>739927198You should probably rush to get an extra spark, you can buy it in the city, assuming veteran mode doesn't shift items too
>>739926421The ship?
>>739927198that sounds like a pain in the ass when those challenge doors that take your blue sparks away start to appear
>>739921209You have had over a decade to internalize Shovel Knight songs. This game has been out for two days.
I really, REALLY regret picking the hammer.
>>739927126>level down on deathWhy would anyone willingly turn this game into a roguelite?
>Klumpy in the fucking save roomCan't wait to kill this fucker
>>739927018>that wasn't marked in any wayIt was marked by the existence of an opening and a thing to get just outside. Shovel Knight did this too. It's a little more dishonest than the average Zelda secret but it doesn't take that much more effort to connect the dots.
>somehow missing two trinkets in kindlewoodDoes the map count quest rewards? There aren't many screens to check here, it feels like this should be obvious otherwise.
I did the Swamp first, is the intended route Graveyeard > Septemburg > Swamp? Because I feel like Septemburg was a good deal harder than the Swamp was.
Fucking love this trackreally reminds me of Megaman 5, specifically Charge Man's stage
>>739927593Lots of breakable walls and burrow-paths are marked, but so far I've encountered a few that were unmarked, so yeah it's a little dishonest
>>739927689Check the newspapers for the "intended" route.
>>739927580I knew this dude would be up to no good when I saw the eyes peering out of the darkness of his costume.
>>739926450I used that trinket and it broke the chest, but not the debris.
>>739927759Yeah I know, but I did the Swamp first so I don't know when the game directs you there
>>739927827I did graveyard first and swamp last, and every single newspaper told me to do the swamp next.My best guess is Graveyard > Swamp > Septemburg > Desert > Snow > Astral.
>>739927474I had to start a new file, and thank god I did otherwise I might have dropped the game.
>>739927684Nevermind, it's shops that I was missing.
>bought all the items from the general store>got a feat for it>bought all the trinkets from the trinket shop>nothing>not even access to the locked door in thereLame.
wtf were you niggers talking about this game is great
>>739928121the only ones saying otherwise are shitposters and/or contrarians desperate for (You)s
>>739928007locked door is a puzzle you don't need anything special to solve it.
>Shills will tell you this looks goodIt looks. Like. Fucking. SHITWhy did they spend so much time to make a game look like the GBC Zelda which also look fucking terrible and THEN make the gameplay rollslop which only works in 3D?

>>739911812>quadruple boss to fix the 6th towerFucking hell, thank god I hit like a truck at this point. The last phase actually had me yelling at the screen. I don't understand how you are supposed to fight most of these bosses without the blaster.

Where the fuck is this swamp? A sign says the swamp is east but all I can find to the east is some dog ass autumn zone and some lava place with pig men that destroy the floor
>>739911812Was getting absolutely filtered using keyboard controls. Once I started using my PS4 controller it became much easier.
>>739928338That's west, not east.It's after the pigmen and then south.
>blm devyikes!
>>739928210>more BADASS™ viking slopNo thanks, cornball....
>>739928160Huh. Every time I get close to it, the shopkeeper just says "private area" and forces me away. What kind of puzzle is this?
>>739927016Yeah, I hate to admit it, but It IS fucking ugly. Too ugly for me to play. Maybe I'll warm up to it over time.
>>739928604Well if you want a hint: try attacking
>>739928604There's a hint in town about it.
>>739928649Nothin'.
>>739928703not the door
>>739928689NTA but the hint says they ran around really fast and made her dizzy, but no matter how many movespeed trinkets I stack I can't make her distracted or whatever.
>>739917431>>entombed alivethat guy doesn't die, he shows up in the newspaper later. He got evicted because the coffin was reserved
>>739917480>>739917563Anon is not shitposting, it's insanely strong. Lets you come back to life with full health after dying, restores after reaching another safe room.Worth going back in case walking away doesn't give you a specific ending and just has him waiting there.
>>739928730Oh...Oh no....
>>739919253Unless you absolutely despise Castlevania from the bottom of your heart, I think so.
>>739928940Don't worry anon it's actually a bit anticlimactic imo.
RAT PUSSY
>>739919253Yeah. It's like 2D zelda but with souls-lite RPG systems stacked on top and Zelda 2's level up system
>>739928985>she gives me a discount on all her wares>AFTER I've already purchased everything from her
>>739929003SHE'S A MOUSE WHY DO YOU FAGS KEEP CALLING HER A RAT???
>>739915123that was me with disco elysium and baldur's gate 3
BAT PENIS
>>739929104rats are just big miceand she's a big mouse for you
>>739917205There's a jester guy who can appear suddenly and makes a loud noise. He's non-hostile though (tmk), I dunno if there's a tell for when he'll show up, so far I've run into him three or four times I think so far
>>739929193faster
>>739929003It's mouse pussy.
>>739924503I finally managed to get them all together. I was shocked. I am pretty sure I am the first person to do this since I've seen nothing about it online. She turns into a werewolf with a completely new moveset and built in airdash. She also has funny dialogue if you try to talk to the townspeople. I'll follow up with that.
>>739929272lmao
>>739929272She is wearing bows because I used the cosmetic code.
Ok I retract my attacks on this game, the problem was clearly that I was not using Vesper and Whisper. The swords are just better than the other options for my playstyle.
>>739929229>human with mouse ear headbandOutnow
>>739929272>>739929312>cute mousey turns into beefy muscle babe
>>739929368Cheese out, nigga.
I need to apologize. I got filtered on day 1 and gave a series of inflammatory bad reviews on multiple boards. I played it again today and it clicked. Just had to buy a hammer and ditch my retarded north star. Very fun game full of secrets
>>739929409Yeah it's pretty hot ngl. But it's a little slow. It's not the best for platforming sections. I tried running it through the mirror dungeon and it wasn't doing so hot. It hits like a truck though so I'm sure it'll destroy bosses. Thornes about to meet Werewolf The Hollower.
>>739917431> crushed by Mina's fat assthe leaf?
Whomever designed the wallowing jump puzzles deserves to be shot in the forehead. I'm not joking at all.
>>739929212I finally got truly surprised by him and attacked out of instinct the fourth time he showed up, which is how I found out him thanking you for not hitting him for his jokes and giving you bones is in fact not guaruanteed
>Fuck up a jump over a bottomless pit and die.>Spark left in an awkward to reach position.
>>739924169Better question is how they managed to downgrade visual efficiency from a 20 year old gameboy game.
>>739929719I think it's a mark of a well designed game that everyone is able to find one of the weapons that clicks for them and makes the game really fun.
>>739927162Wondering the same. I thought games went past this phase.
>>739929272thanks dev shillvery original
>>739913469>floofy bonnet minaoh my GOD she is the cutest fuck I can't take it
I figured out walking through the mirror at the castle, is it a late game dungeon or something I can comfortably take on only after activating one generator?
>>739930726Shut the fuck up you dipshit nigger. How's that for a devpost? I just wanted to share something cool I busted my ass to get, maybe if you tried doing things you liked every once in a while instead of talking about shit you don't even like then you could wet that incel dick.
So cosmetics are ONLY if you do that name thing at the start of the game? wtf that's lame, figured you could get them via gameplay
>>739921827what if instead of nude, a mod where a full dressed mina fill whole vertical left/right side of screen, which her clothes will torn/undressed slowly as her health reduced
>walking around trying to finish off my 100%>suddenly get a cutscene in the Bayou>realise I'd never entered it from the intended path beforeNeat.
>>739911812I'm having a difficult time playing because every single time I'm in town and see one of those sexy lady mice in their poofy silk dresses sauntering around I get a massive boner and have to go rub one out
>>739930876Does it work if I edit the game files ?
is it possible to get the 2nd upgrade for the weapons you didn't start with? i bought the weapon from the shop and then found a duplicate in the overworld, is there another one somewhere?
Just got the third generator, I'm surprised how quick this game is flying by. Trying not to speed through too quickly, but still finding the game significantly easier now that I actually have levels and a fair number of trinkets. Hardest part of the game so far was the beginning.
>>739930836You can take it on as your first dungeon but it takes some serious doing. You need 3 out of the 4 other mirror warp points in order to clear the way so you'd have to get really close to the other dungeons and then double back three times. I think its meant to be late game.
Okay, just spoil it for me, where do I get the map?? I hate that constant feeling of "shit, I think I missed something" and having 0 way to reference back where I have and have not explored. Even after clearing the area's spark tower I feel I missed a ton of shit
How do I beat the brain ?
>>739923329The lion guard guy left side outside of castle? 400 each death but nearest rest place is entrance of castle
>>739911812Apparently defeating the Setemburg boss fails a quest and now a kid is dead. Fucking gonna restart the game over this.
>>739930963If you do the cosmetic code for a new file it will apply to all your other files too. You don't need to do all that.>>739931000The building directly to the right of the south exit of town is the hollower guild. When you get it cleaned up you can get a map and then an upgrade that shows you the collectable percentage in each area. >>739931004Take the gun. You can shoot the annoying wall eyes all the way offscreen with it and get rid of them fast and easy.
>>739930947this but the orphans
>>739930836>>739930985I'm personally thinking of telling my friends about the mirrors straight away. It's a spoiler but I don't see any reason why I shouldn't spoil it and save them the annoying backtracks>>739930979It is possible. Think about where you chose your initial weapon
>>739930979Yes. You can find both the weapons you didn't choose at the beginning in the wreck of the ship where the story starts.
>>739931173great clutch
>>739930979I got both the whip and the dagger maxed and I started with the hammer so yes you can.
>>739931212Where can I find and activate more mirrors? I only know of the one in the castle and a few more I've seen but can't get to.
How the hell do I escort Luxy? Am I missing something?
>>739926180>see the trinket>immediately think it'll eventually be important>turns out I'm right and then only thing you have to worry about lightning is knockbackThanks observation skills.
>>739931360You go through the darkness? I mean she is a bitch and will knock you off when she illuminates the whole room but you just gotta suck it up.
>>739931347The Crypt: double back from the boss room until you come back outside, then go to the screen with the two statues you had to put heads on and burrow under the wall on the right, it's a secret spot and not marked except by sussing it out by going through the other side firstThe Bayou: Keep going west until you reach a river going north to south, hop between the lilypads and head north until you find the moon. Beat it and the mirror is past that.Septemburg: This one is pretty easy. You'll find it in one of the houses.Bone Beach: This one is in a tent a few screens north of the mouth of the worm/entrance to the dungeon.The other areas also have mirrors but they are not required. However they do have treats behind them. Do the crypt mirror first for a free extra trinket slot.
How the fuck do I get the longest jump for the section in the mayors manor? I swear I've tried every combination of trinket and sidearm I can do
>>739922775fucking jump rat,contact damage is always bad idea
>>739931505Literally just put a warp sidearm on one side and then jump and teleport from the other side.There is no way you didn't think of that.
>>739929272>Dev said they had to make one character sprite less sexyI'm gonna guess this is it and the original was fur bait.
>>739931000Like the other anon said, you need to fix up the Hollower's Guild which is the first building on the right when you're coming from the southern gate (it's next to the save point). To open up the building you need to come from the top-right side, you'll find a little alleyway with some boxes you just need to break and then you can access the building.To unlock the option to buy the map you need to rescue one of the Hollowers who's trapped in a jail located on the south road, so backtrack to where you fought the Hulk Trooper (the first boss) and keep going down past the bats, instead of jumping onto the moving platform over the chasm, you keep going down until you can't any further and then go left. You'll find a Kear lock and need to beat some trooper enemies to reach teh building.Once you rescue the Hollower guild member, head back to the guild, talk to them to get the back room cleaned up and then you'll need to talk to another hollower guild member who was in that room the whole time but had gotten buried under the rubble (he's like a pronghorn or something). He's who you can buy the map off. Although to my knowledge the map's kinda shit, unless I'm missing something it only shows you the general regions of the setting rather than being a specific screen-by-screen map like what LA and the Oracle games had.
Is there a recommended way of getting through the Carving Man section, as far as I know he's invincible. I did find that you can burrow underneath the mandrakes and pick them up and throwing them kills them, but is there anything that particularly helps, I keep getting stuck at the second room where you're supposed to jump across a pit but there's a mandrake on the other side.
>>739931546...fuck. It's cause the screen on the right had a big pit where you need to make a long jump so I thought the solution for that would also be the way to jump the most tiles. I don't think the warp trick will work for that screen though
>>739931440So that's all there is to it? Cause I am shitting the bed trying to move and not get pushed. Sometimes I don't get pushed off a ledge and just stop, others I fall. Also what's the cosmetic code? Amy other codes that don't affect gameplay or achievements etc as I don't want to cheat, just grab any code specific things.
>>739931571>Could have had Amazonian mouse mommyIt's still cool, but damn.
>>739930525Truly terrible to hear that particular trait of Shovel Knight still lives on here.
>>739931671not really, just go fast and try not to get hit. Throwing the mandrakes at him might slow him down but I never really experimented with that
>>739931571Maybe they should've made the sprites a bit sexier rather than the inverse.
>>739931768It does it you mix it with the wallower gloves. I solved it by jumping diagonal from the long point, wallowing into the wall, and then throwing the disk before I fell down. I did fall but the disk landed and I was able to teleport when I respawned. It's worth it because behind that locked block the next screen over is a respawning item which seems to contain almost every sidearm in the game. It's right before a pretty hard boss.
>>739931671Make sure you save all three kids before the boss. Don't be like me, who fucked up and wants to reset the game now.
>>739931783Burrowing helps a bit against the push. Since she slows down and stop before lighting up, you can also move away from her which should also diminish the knockback.I think there is a trinket that helps against knockback though I'm pretty sure I didn't have it when I did the escort.Also, there is a boss fight at the end of the escort.
this little faggot is making me rage harder than any bossI spend ten minutes clearing a path only to get fucked by the tiny little staircase the devs put right in front of the fountain that I forget about EVERY TIME>>739931910extremely ominous post, I'll keep that in mind
>Mina the Redditor
>>739932019From the start all the races with this dude is basically abusing movement abilities from trinkets and sidearms.
>Didn't save all the kidsI didn't know they were all there. I did find one but now I'm bummed that two actually died.
>>739931910The three kids? (I did see that all except the Chickadee were missing, but I haven't seen the other three anywhere)
>>739932143Heh, who cares. The game expects you to play multiple times anyway.
>>739932143Well you can take solace in the fact they died brutally at the hands of someone named The Carving Man
>>739932143>>739932162each of the three times the scarecrow boss chases you through a zone there's a hidden side path with a kid. The only one without a kid is the very end when he turns into a boss fight
Dude...
>>739932186Yeah, I'm sorry, but I feel too bad about it. I can run back pretty fast now that I know what I'm doing. Kids dying in stuff just bothers me man.
>thread of anons sharing tips and secrets over a game that just came outthese are truly the best kinds of threads
Closing in on my NG+.
>one of the feats requires you to be the game in less than 4 hoursIs there a low completion ending where you only have to do 3 towers or something? I can't even begin to fathom how a speedrun like that would be possible.
>>739932162Oh, yeah I'm only at the first chase then
top 10 threatening auras
>>739931783I'm really sorry but I don't remember what the cosmetic code was. I remember it was all capitals and had an &. It doesn't save when you start your file so I couldn't pull it up. It's not anywhere online either. I think it got shared only here. It's only visual stuff so it doesn't mess with achievements. There's a category of modifiers that are specifically one that leave feats on.

>>739932501You all did finish that dance with him right anons?
>>739932662>>739932657Cool and based. Through my searching I also found out another fun cheat name: CH&LAVA which unlocks a "Floor is Lava" modifier, which kills you and respawns you at the last burrow. Could be good for speedrunning? What other file name codes are there?
>>739932760>What other file name codes are there?There is a list.https://pastebin.com/Z27j8fWR
I think Mina is a cutie pie
>>739932858This is pretty good but, what do they all do? Is it just more cosmetics? Some of them sound like cheats.
>>739932942>what do they all do?Hell if I know.
this game sucks
alright hammerchads, give it to me straight. Do i have to fight bosses like monster hunter monsters and pre-aim my charge attacks, dodge out of the way and hit them where they're going to be?
>>739917205Be careful of dark places.Don't linger too long...
>>739933309There's slightly more planning ahead involved, but I don't think it's drastically different from playing other weapons beyond how easily it murders everything.
>>739933703do jump attacks charge faster than grounded charge attacks?
>>739933805No, the idea's to have normal aerial movement while charging instead of the roll. Also you can jump cancel the previous attack to do the next one faster.
CH&METEOR gives you killer knockback power
>>739932231I've finished the first two, I was mainly looking to get to Septemburg's mirror for quick travel. I found the Wall Burrowing trinket was helpful for getting across the gap for the first one, the second one was way easier.Also they should change the placement of one of the slimes in the entrance room to the Graveyard dungeon, I was coming back up the stairs from the level below and the slime just crawled right onto Mina while she was still in the stair climbing animation so I took damage immediately.
>>739926419This pisses me off terribly.I just beat the first tower and wanted the weaver item because it sounds like it would help with a few gapped areas.Spent a large sum for it only to find I got nothing for it.If I'd known, I wouldn't have bothered.Also, the backtracking is unreal.I assumed beating a tower would let me warp back to town or something like any sane game does but nope.I had to go through everything to walk all the way back to town with my boss winnings.Fast travel needed to be available early on.Also fuck the lack of checkpoints in the swamp, glad that's over.
Loving the game and turned on 2 towers despite it being an obviously bad idea. I just can't get used to burrowing as the dodge roll. I always get hit somehow. Carving man was annoying because I kept digging into him despite my best efforts. Still beat him but not without taking loads of damage. Any pointers? Also I feel like I'd enjoy it a lot more if prices were cut in half. I don't mind wanting the player to have a sense of urgency to not die, but early on it's a chore. Not as much now at least.
I don't know where to fucking go. I had to look up where to fucking go in Dark Souls too. I guess my geographic memory and observational skills are shit
be careful when posting webms of gameplay; shitposters are reusing them
>>739934261What does CH&YIFF do?
>>739933309I play it like the great sword in MH
Is there any way to keep my sidearm after death? Wish they'd just let us freely swap them around. I mean there's a bag with you showing all the ones you've picked up. Or at least let us carry one forever and upgrade the bag to carry more as you go.Also is the enemy weapon Ghostbusters looking proton pack an obtainable weapon? I wanna bust some shit.
>>739934614There is a way to keep side arms.It's an upgrade you can get very early in town no less at the hollowers guild.
I'm probably missing something obvious, but I've been going back and forth through this section and I'm not seeing it
>>739921023i like how the all time peak keeps getting higher every time you guys post this
>>739911812>>739912981Played a bit and ended up refunding. It's just not fun nor what I expected. The level design and world layout don't feel tightly designed, just a series of "eh whatever" screens and bloat.
>>739934392>Also fuck the lack of checkpoints in the swamp, glad that's over.Yeah, made Groal a real pain in the neck.
>almost everyone is now using the hammerbased STR wins again
>>739934763I was indeed missing something obvious, I even noticed that my first time through the room
rolling doesnt give you iframes and thats only with the hammeryou didnt play the game
>>739935250who are you talking to
>>739928313I don't think they're the same genre.

>trinket buried in a shiny spot the same way as any other bone in the gamewell fuck
>>739936131I'm not asking for journo mode, just reasonable design.Better shortcuts and a real map that doesn't suck would be nice too.I'm going to play it "as intended" all the way through but no way will I want a replay, even with journo hacks.I lol that a good number of the purchasable upgrades are just QoL that should be implemented from the get go.Like a world map or keeping subweapons on death. You can't expect me to glob trot for a specific subweapon needed for a puzzle or to clear a gap.Imagine if link lost his bow or hookshot everytime he died and had to walk, yes WALK, all the way to where he got it and then walk all the way back.I get that OG Castlevanias had you lose your subweapons on death but those games didn't require you to have a specific one to progress anywhere.
>>739936672Please respond >>739936183

Ossex? More like MOUSSEX
>>739936183Yeah it does>>739936758Enabling one or two accessibility qol options isn't going to kill you or make you less of a man.Mina doesn't require subweapons to cross gaps or progress. Trinkets are helpful for this.

>>739935320no one cares, especially not the guy I forgot to tag
Sidearms makes the game absolutely braindead
Slander, this is absolute slander
How the fuck do you actually use the shield? The parry seems random at the upgrade where you throw the shield is atrocious
>>739938119that I did do however....
Guys I think I love the gun
I just finished the bayou and maybe it's just because the game has opened a lot more in terms of trinkets and upgrades available so the difficulty has gone down a bit but I think the game has gotten a lot better.
>>739938119>>739938259Does doing all of these or avoiding them get you different endings? Also what are all the slides used as evidence against Mina?
>>739934396Nox's Bayou has a trinket that lets you stay underground longer. Sifted Sand has one that lets you chain digs together.Best advice I can give is to not think of digging as a dodge and instead a repositioning tool. Think more Zelda or Castlevania. Once you start watching enemy patterns you'll br able to say to yourself "Okay, I can hit this guy twice before jumping and digging away."
>>739935020the release weekend peak is overnow it's all downhill
Lionel was completely right about everything btw
>>739918169>>739919615Maybe its just permanent, the kids gave me bones and the teacher gave a cool lightning bolt trinket
>>739927018Room on the opposing side with a door you can clearly see. Just common video game logic.
I just started playing and have been avoiding spoilers, but I am vaguely hearing about people being upset about the difficulty. I just beat Thorne and he really seems out of place for this part of the game. He gave me my first and only death so far, I beat him on my second attempt.
>>739913469A few tiny changes and she far more visually acceptable.
What is objectively wrong with black people? My wife is black.
>>739923329This game looks quite fun. I just wish it had a completely different aesthetic going for it. The mouse character and enemies are a bit too cringe worthy for me. I'd rather have seen them make the hero another type of knight even if unrelated to their other game. How woke is this game otherwise?
>>739940301It's not unless you think female dwarves having a beard is woke.Mina isn't even a girlboss because the whole game is basically just one big woman moment
>>739940376If it ever ends up getting a physical edition I might buy it one day. We need more 2D Zelda likes anyways.
>>739940496> 2D Zelda likesThere’s nothing Zelda in here
>some /v/irgins are actually getting filtered by this gamehow
>>739922775He always jumps 3 times, burrow or otherwise dodge then get a couple hits in atter the third jump. Dont try to hit when he's jumping. After he throws out the balls or whatever he always stands still for a good few seconds where you can pile on the damage.He always throws out the balls after doing the "dragging my whip around for a bit" attack.I ended up using the Casket Shield to beat him. Also you can just walk off the screen to the left and come back later. I beat him after my third tower.
the devs support blmdont buy this game
Out of curiosity does anyone have any idea what the intended order of the towers is meant to be, I know it's largely open to player choice but still.
>spent the first three chapters hitting and spamming A at the big mirror>just realized you can just walk straight into it
>>739941558There's a hint NPC in Lionel's manor who you can see walking through the mirror in the main hall when you return there.
>>739941548Everyone's saying the newspaper tells you where to go but some people already sequence broke and maybe got that messed up saying they don't know what they skipped.Thing is it's even fucking simpler than that, it's the order the areas are listed on the Area description page of the manual.
>>739941613>>739941558I saw that and swear I tried that and didn't get to go in. You just walk in? Do you need to be a certain distance away when you start moving?
>>739941749You just walk into it, you'll see sparkls appear around Mina and then she'll phase into the mirror.
>>739941613i saw him but walking into it isn't instant so i figured it would open later on. after finishing septemberg was when i actually thought of walking into it for more than one second
This shit looks like something thats only playable on handhelds.
>>739941965It's fine on a TV.I think if you are doing it on a full size monitor within 2ft of your face it's definitely gonna be scaled too large to view the whole thing comfortably.
>>739941558Enjoy backtracking all the towers to find their mirrors.
>>739942128To be fair isn't it only the Graveyard that has its mirror in its dungeon, Septemburg's is in the village.
>already about to drop of first page of top sellers on steamgrim
>>739940728Anon it literally looks like ALTTP and similar games
The character is too slow and the enemies are too fast. I realize they want me to burrow to avoid certain attacks, but more often than not the tells are too fast for how long it takes to dive down.And then you're a tiny speck on screen and it's hard to tell where you actually are with all the shit flying at you.And another thing, if you're going to incorporate bullet hell attacks, don't make the character's hurtbox the size of a skyscraper.Mina's hurtbox is too big, the enemy hitboxes are too big, and they don't make sense in game space. Someone tell me why I can't walk behind the crock boss when he's standing even though I'm just scraping his head which should be a mile away.
>>739914672>why the fuck is it attracting so many retardsretards play low quality trash like Mina and can't stop gushing about itduh
>>739942436You're not going to like the brain fight.
>>739911812Crosscode mogged this trash
>>739941558An entire ingame manual and no mention at all of how the mirrors work.
From the gameplay I've seen, it looks like a "Souls" game. At this point, the "Souls-style" is a turn-off for me.
Mina just showcases how most gamers probably use guides for games, it does the same thing as elden ring where you start out weak as shit but can easily get overpowered fast if you just explore instead of just throwing yourself head first into an area too difficult for you.It does go a bit further with having a ton of important upgrades hidden behind having a brain however, it's incredibly easy to miss the island map for example.
>>739943063Imagine a limited use healing system like the estus one, but where the amount you heal up from an estus is tied to the amount of enemy strikes you got.
>>739943063It is and it isn't.Combat is almost 100% positioning and not rollslop.You can lose your currency, but it doesn't happen until you die without any sparks left. You can simply spend it all when you think it's at risk, you can very easily get extra sparks, and there's multiple ways to get your sparks filled back up without actually having to go back where you died.Flask shit is kind of the only thing straight up souls about it.Also if you aren't a retard you become unstoppable very early in the game, there's trinkets and bonestones and upgrades everywhere.
>>739930726You are a miserable loser, just leave no one likes you anyway
>>739938119THEY DO DO THE "HEY YOU TOOK MY SHIT" FUCKING SHTICK I FUCKING KNEW IT NO INDIE DEV CAN RESIST THAT SHIT
>>739940871I don't fucking know. I have been facetanking everything after first generator.
You are a true gamer and found this secret area already, right anons?
>>739940871Which trinket gives you Toyotomi heal?
>>739944974It's not like it's particularly difficult to access.
>>739942434But plays very little like them. It looks like Zelda but plays like Dark Souls.
>>739945448It doesn't play much like dark souls either.
>>739945489okay tardo
>>739932501Was it rape?>>739932680You could get away?
>>739932501>LA LUZ EXTINGUIDO
>>739945496He's right. If you categorize all of its elements into Zelda, Castlevania or Souls elements, the ones that would hurt the game the least if removed would definitely be the Souls elements. I still think they make the game better and wouldn't want to miss out on the bonfire style checkpointing for more traditional saves that don't keep your shortcuts and stuff saved after death, but it would only add boredom, not fundamentally change the game.
>>739944975The trinket he's wearing for that health bar is called the Primed Plasma Vial. It gives you two extras and makes it so they restore a little extra health.>>739942436>wahh wahh the enemies are too fast and I am too slow wahhhCry more dumbass. If you were old enough to play a 2d Zelda ever you'd be thanking the gods that you even have a jump button. Get good nigga
>>739941548It seems pretty clear that it goes:CryptBayouSeptemburgBone BeachMount ColtrainAstral Orrery
>>739945930NTA but the GBC Zelda games used the Roc's Feather for a bunch of cool jumping shit, granted I think Mina does it better.
No, the graphics look hideous. I can't tell what's happening because of the terrible animations.
>>739946058So far I've done Crypt and Bayou, although I think I'm pretty close to having done Septemburg (I've had three run-ins with the Carving Man, but I went to do other stuff and got distracted). Haven't found anything about the Bone Beach, and took the train to Mount Coltrain but got my ass handed to me by Thorne so I'll come back to it later, I've got some access to the Astral Orrery but I've still got at least two mirrors to unlock.I think if I just bit the bullet and did the areas in the order I found them it'd go;> Crypt> Septemburg> Mount Coltrain> Bayou> Astral Orrery> Bone Beach
I went crypt -> bayou -> mountain -> septemburg so far
>>739945930I mean the passive healing, he's not using any vials but recovering health on hit.
>>739946529No he isn't. Thats how healing in this game works. The yellow part is the "healable" part that you will recover once you drink your potion. It goes up when you hit someone and goes down when you get hit. That's his potential for healing but he isn't actually healing anything just yet. The blank space next to the yellow bracket is the "extra" health that the Primed Plasma Vials gives you.
>>739946662You're right, I'm retarded, I thought the red health was increasing.
Huh, that's newdid the game update overnight?
>>739946853You bought an upgrade and forgot about itDidn't get it yet but glasses drillbro sells let you see previous places sidearm spawned... obviously there's no detailed map so I figured this was exactly what it meant.
>>7399459302d zeldas have the spinny move that solve a lot of the headaches of the hitboxes in a 2D game.
>>739946715>>739946662His health goes up a little at the end i figured he has an item that heals you on kill, or I think maybe I saw one it raises your max health temporarily on kill.
>>739923705You literally have to move the plants to get to the area to begin with. You know, in the cave you passed by to get there? That said, it took me a while to figure out how to get to the bone beach too, so don't feel too bad.
I can't find any way to go southeast....might be just a little retarded though
>>739947419>>739923519
>You're vulnerable while talking to npcs and it skips the text when you're hit and you can't make them say it againWelp, guess I'll never know what the band in the swamp were talking about.
>enter a door that requires sparks>trapped in a sudden inescapable sequence>die>2000 bones goneI can easily grind that out again but man fuck you
>>739947786Just disable that modifier
>>739947869Not using any modifiers, the area required all my sparks so I didn't have any to save my bones.
>>739947786If it's the 3 spark door in the graveyard, bring the daggers for that place. The larger enemies there can't rush and insta-kill you thanks to the knockback.
So now that the dust has settled, is the game actually good? Would be nice having a chill retro game to play when I'm taking a break from Crimson Desert.
>>739911812>Cute Mouse Girl ProtagExcited>Art Inspired by Link's Awakening/Oracle GamesSuper Excited>It's RollslopExcitement Gone
>>739947956Number one you can get the Proto Spark trinket and give yourself an extra life every time you die. Number two, and I can't believe everyone is too stupid to figure this out: When you die you don't lose your bones, you only lose them when you lose every spark. So if you're down to no sparks, then simply spend or bank them and then dive back in one more time.>>739948050Its one of the best games of the last 10 years.
oh nice, they actually addressed mr jumpscare
>>739947125No just to get up to that area you can simply jump good to get by, in that cave you only need to move the plant to get to the shit on the bottom and the left sides.
I do really enjoy the game, although I don't think it's the 10/10 masterpiece that critics think it is. Also some of YCG's philosophy about this game is baffling (for one I WOULD like a good map for this game)
>>739948084There is no rolling outside of a single weapon though.
>>739948050It's fine. The main mechanic of burrowing is kinda half baked and doesn't feel good.
>>739948084rollkino*
>>739947547They want you to find a little homie in a bucket. You won't find him until after the generator.
>>739948127the green dash subweapon is literally dodgeroll though
Is the mouse a whore like Hornet btw? Very important for if I buy the game
>>739948234In game, no. Of course, for fan art it is a different story.
>>739948234She doesn't wear any pants so they've got that in common
>>739940871You didn't beat that boss btw

The revive on the spot trinket is WAAAAAAAAY too strong. Gonna have to unequip it, kek.
>>739948234No, but you can fix her.
>>739948585>second chance>safety shoes>iron lung>plasma pouch>plasma funnelIt's gamer time
The combo trinket with upgraded dual swords is something else, holy fuck, my whip support is wavering
>>739948927Nevermind whip is way stronger LOL
