Uhm...cheesed to meet you?
i think i need to see this thing getting railed
Can we agree that many of the trinkets should have been permanent upgrades instead?

I said it the other day and I'll say it again. Sherry the Mouse has been my waifu for almost 40 years now. She takes care of orphans and is one of the few people Lord British can confide to. She has a kind soul and I was always sad she never got a true ending in the Ultima series.
Stop liking evil mice.

>Pirate it>Play it for 10 minutes on KBM>Already refunded it due to how insufferable to control it is
>>740242361>play a fucking GBC game on your keyboardnot a very bright one, are you?
>>740241972Not a journalist, but he is a valid critic. That said, he is sort of a retard about the mirrors. I didn't see the npc walking into one, but I did meet the NPC talking about how her sister disappeared when playing near a mirror and around the last generator the news article literally says something about monsters in mirrors. Should be enough hint that. That said, I wouldn't mind dropping a scholar NPC next to every mirror if some poor bastard hadn't figured it out at that point.
>>740242495I'm clearly not as bright as the devs who don't let you bind your mouse input to the controls.
>>740242571His preferences and his criticisms are practically random. And he straight up hates multiple genres, making his own tastes much more narrow than the average player. He just finds some niggling little aspect and harps on it regardless of it being a big deal... which is fine if you're a heckler, but not a reviewer.
>>740242671Get a controller idiot
>>740240945>he got filtered by not knowing that you can walk into mirrorsThe game hints at it multiple times and even has an NPC outright show you that it's possiblehow are journos this retarded
>Actually buying a game where the devs donated to BLMThread must fucking love black people, holy
Mina the MurdererMina the SwindlerMina the Vandalizer
>>740242846You will never be white, no matter how much you larp.
>>740242831The NPC walking into it and the sound effect when you start to do the same is the most hand-holdy demonstration you can give. I don't even know what else you could do besides literally take over the controls if that doesn't teach them.
I know you consolefags will worship your thumb torturing devices until the day you die, but not that many people share your masochistic fetish. Unless a game provides finer control with console controller sticks than with M+KB or KB only, there's no biomechanical advantage to be found.
>>740242863Damn villainous rat...needs plap correction.....!
So this... This is the power of a 93% game?
>>740242671Keybind 5 6 and 7 they are left, middle and right click
>>740243242Shut up, TORtanicfag.
740243242The fact that it has over 300k confirmed sales but only 13k peak on Steam is just further proof that using steamcharts to judge a game's sales is retarded.Here's your (You).
>>740241742Agreed>>740242006
>>740243060>>740242831I only know about the Ossex house one with the missing girl. What are the other hints? Just interesting
740243358Aren't the majority of sales PC/steam?
>>740243462No. You're making shit up again, tortanicfag.
>>740243425When you go back to Lionel's manor, the HUGE mirror in the foyer has an NPC you've never seen before walk up to and INTO THE REFLECTION.
Does the game ever actually showcase you can burrow in deep water? I figured out the mirror interaction after seeing the NPC walk through one but I only figured out the water bit by accident when I overshot a burrow and it kept going.
Is there a way to use the snowman trinket without having to waste a vial first?
>>740243556No. But I figured it out pretty quick when I fell into the swamp and there was literally nothing else for me to do but be trapped in the shallow water.Guess it was really... sink or swim.
>>740243425The fact that every area has a mirror and the center of the map has a giant one should already be a massive hint towards the fact they are connected and that you can probably walk into them, even if you don't talk to the little girl or see the npc walk into it.
>>740243358>300k sales for a game they need to save their entire fucking operationOh good heavens, that's...
>>740243556>Does the game ever actually showcase you can burrow in deep water?nopeI had to figure it out myself by accidentapparently it's mentioned in the manual (who even reads those, these days)
>>740243525I've never encountered him though I've 100% the game
>mina the flop
>>740243671300k sales as of the monday following the game's releasethey said they needed 200k to stay afloatkeep seething tortanicnigger
>>740243718>they said they needed 200k to stay afloatSource?
>>740243556Nah I thought that I got softlocked in the swamp area until I did it by accident.
>>740242831I did think I would need some item to walk into mirrors(specially since they have an entire looking at reflection mechanic that is pointless), so it took me a while to just try mashing my face into one.
>>740243284sauce
>>740243556It's written in the manualIt was clear to me just looking at the bug floating with a bone next to an underwater bone
>>740243690Well there's been a couple patches since launch, maybe they added this character after complaints? I have no idea.
>>740239954featureless crotcho sexo (also glasses)
>>740243556the boots mention that they let you move fast in water so I figured that you would be able to burrow in water
>>740243843Nah, I played a lot on launch day and saw that scene. Admittedly it's pretty quick and if you're not paying attention you'll miss it.
>>740243843Arg matey, me be on patch 1.0.4 an saw that lad walk into the mirror
>>740240945This is the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I can no longer enjoy Yatzhee, not as a game journalist nor as an internet funnyman.
>>740239954Every time I see her I get the feeling she is going to be in Gameoverse>Why?Because Shovel Knight is the de facto face of indie video games and has tons of collabs, including the first non-Nintendo Amiibo and an Assist Trophy summon in Smash Ultimate.What better way to promote their new game than to have the main character appear in a videogame-centric show?Then again that is just me.
>>740243762Since i already know you've been browsing the multi threads daily since release i know damn well you've seen the various forms of it in screencaps.
>>740244098you didn't realize he was full of shit after he hated demon's souls but then did a complete 180 and pretended to love dark souls? He's complete shit at games and always has been.
>>740244204Oh, okay, good for them then. Just enough to have enough to donate to their favourite charities I'm sure.
>>740244204Now they can pay the rent for another year :-)
Am I just ultra blind or am I soft locked?>can't get back up>can jump across the water to the island with the snake enemy on it but the area left of that requires swimming and the island to the right is a 4 tile gap so I can't cross it without a sidearm (or swimming)what gives?
blm to meet you?
>>740244416There was nothing inherently bad about the larger BLM movement.
>>740244413If you are genuinely retarded and don't know, read the manual
>>740244413You can dig in the water
>>740244413>I've tried nothing and I'm out of ideas
>>740244495other than being obnoxious cunts and the "leaders" of the movement embezzling donations to buy million dollar mansionsbut this shit was fucking 6 years ago, nobody cares other than tortanic fags bringing it up to shit on YCG
>>740244413Only time in the game I was stuck too. You have to jump into deep water and burrow from there. It's very unintuitive and never explained or shown.
>>740243809From a drawthread in 2022. No idea who the artist is.
>>740244413As that other anon said, you can dig in deep water (see buried bones)Another thing about this shitty mechanic: you can dig into deep water only after a normal jump. You cannot dig in earth, jump long and dig into deep water.
>>740244726it is explained in the ingame manual
>>740244495in the same way there was nothing wrong about the larger gamergate movement, yes
>>740244636I care, and I will help spread negativity about this company until they go out of business. No need to thank me :-)
>>740244726>it's never explained or shown
>>740244495So true Minasister.
>>740240945
>look at the underground map after 2nd spark tower>realize I've been to every mapped location in the gameI wish this game had a more LA style map that lets me see the individual explored tiles of the map.
I wish there were more images or mouse feet
>>740244495Collectively, blacks are objectively inferior to Whites. Supporting a movement that helps sideline White people to give blacks undeserved opportunities is actually a bad thing.
>>740244636Why are you saying that like you're supposed to forgive that after a few years.
>>740244747>You cannot dig in earth, jump long and dig into deep water.I mean it functions pretty much like a hole you can dig through. Without a trinket you can't dig back into regular ground without doing a normal jump anyway.
>>740244771A game mechanic in 2026 should be explained via gameplay and not by looking up a manual. This is game design 101. Even then. It's not well explained. The manual just mentions that you are able to swim. Nowhere is it stated how to do that. No mention of deep and shallow water or how to jump in to trigger it. It is really not intuitive.
>equip the sturdy soles>move at normal speed in deep water burrowing>this trivializes the whole zonelol
>>740244495Except demanding fealty and villainizing people who said "ALL lives matter." And the worshiping of a fent-fueled criminal who died because of his own bad choices.But at least we have more cameras on police... which shows normal people the absolute horseshit they have to deal with while babysitting adults.
>>740245051The devs said that not having a detailed map was a conscious decisionprobably because, looking at a fanmade detailed map, it's a fucking mess that doesn't fit neatly into a square like LA's map
>>740245218>game design 101More like modern handholding slop 101.
>people are still eating derailment bait a week later
Mina donated to Bat Lives Matter do NOT financially support her.
>>740245218>Nowhere is it stated how to do that.I mean >>740244823 right there directly says >she can burrow to swimyou know how to burrow
>>740245218Are your hands broken?You can't just try things in a game to see if they work?
>>740245313She should have donated to Rat Lives Matter since bats are basically little flying niggers.
>>740245218It's not intuitive, but there's only three things to do throughout the entire game: attack, jump, and burrow. If you're stuck and not trying all three then something has gone wrong.
>>740245218>A game mechanic in 2026 should be explained via gameplaythere's sparkles in deep waterthe same sparkles that indicate something buried there that you need to burrow to removeput 2 and 2 together
I was kinda surprised that the game had no actual vampires at any point. The opening scene with the orphanage made certain that Lionel was gonna drain those children for their life essences or something.>>740245294>about an "issue" that happened ten years ago
>>740245294Explain how it's derailment bait, it's a very valid thing to be talking about. By giving money to this dev, you are basically donating to a scam org, are you not? I wouldn't want to donate to something like that, some anons just wanna be aware of shit like that.
>>740245590>Lionel was gonna drain those children for their life essenceI mean, he was going to do that, yeah.
>>740245412>literally the one guy that is willing and capable of risking all to do the right thingI will not accept slander against my boy Thorne.
What determines the subweapon refilling in the underlab? Time? Enemies killed since being in there? Doesn't look like picking up refills in the overworld when full contributes to it.
>>740245723Never figured it out since I didn't use it often.
>>740242863Mina the Borrower
>>740245625Every company has done that anon, sorry you had to learn this way.
>>740245723I might have seen it refill by one pixel when staring at it for a while. Never really used subweapons so I didn't pay much attention.
>>740245661your "boy" is a terrorist disturbing the peace.
>>740245625>By giving money to this dev, you are basically donating to a scam org, are you not?no, because:-BLM is not an organization, like antifa it is an idea not an organization-they donated literally one time six years ago, giving YCG money today does not go towards any "BLM" organizationsnow shoo, polfag
>>740245723doesn't it literally say it is time based?
>>740245218>looking up a manualyou don't have to "look it up", it's literally in the menu.
Four generators restored after just three hours in New Game+, hahaha. Getting used to the game. Still gonna be a bitch getting the last twenty achievements, I'll probably tap out at 40/50.
>>740245974It does say "over time" but doesn't specify if it's strictly time based or has other contributors.
>>740245968if blm isn't an organization how did they donate money to it?
>>740245968You literally do not know they won't do that shit again. They probably will.
>>740242361I tried playing it on keyboard up to my first dungeon the Crypt but I was getting my shit ruined.Switched to my PS4 controller and it became much more fun.
>burrowing underneath glass surfaces shows Mina actually has burrow spritescuteCUTE!!
I wonder how many locations you can break with the Fishing Rod, since it lets you cross walls/barriers to get to your target.
>>740245218Here (You) go as clear as day
>>740245968Why is Antifa funded by their fellow Communist China, then?
>>740245218It's impossible to not naturally come across burrowing into deep water while going through either Backwater or Bone Beach for the first time.
>>740244413How do retards not notice that the bones on the right are just as under the water as they would be if they were underground?You fuckers are the reason games have yellow paint and would want Mina to say "so I can swim now? Yeah I swim now!"
>>740244495False.>>740244781GG was righteous and correct, and the fact that it got co-opted by Karens and leftists into a "harassment campaign", has been disastrous not only for the industry, but society as a whole, because those two groups will destroy society.
>>740246232Probably zero since you can just naturally reach every point on the map with your basic movement, all it does is save you time.
>>740246843Even if you ignored that how would you get past this bit? Y'know, the rope that by this point you would know you have to BURROW under
>>740247129>you can just naturally reach every point on the map with your basic movementexcept the one spot to the east of the fishing hole that requires you to use the fishing rod to hook onto an enemy to get up the ledge
>>740247129You won't clear the gap to the optional boss fight east of the manor entrance without trinkets.
>11hrs later>finally rescued RheneFfs. The amount of time I've wasted running to specific spots to get my preferred subweapons back after a wipe.....
>kept pondering how to get to those unreachable areas in Backwater>watched a video about it>didn't realize I could take the ladder from the gorilla's shop outside>never even tried itI felt so retarded.
mina flavors
I'm missing one bonestone in Septemburg but I went through the entire area twice over and the item finder didn't blink red or blue even once, the fuck am I missing?
>>740247498you must not have found the NPC that explicitly tells you to do that
>>740247728>mousey acidI wonder what it tastes like....
>>740247262You're not really breaking anything when it's literally the intended solution.>>740247395Same here, you're INTENDED to pull some bullshit to get over the chasm.The most "breaking" you can do is probably save yourself a kear here and there.
the coffin upgrade that lets you throw it feels like a downgrade because now I can't spam the attack button anymore
>>740247803I DID FIND THAT NPC AND I KNEW WHAT TO DO WITH THE LADDERI USED IT IN THE ROOM TO GET THE THING THAT WAS OUT OF REACH AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE END OF IT
>>740247826Or maybe you point was simply, "there's actually places you can't reach without assistance", then yeah sure.
>>740247498>didn't realize I couldTook me a few min to realized it, because I'm so used to these style of games removing anything you hold while transitioning screens.
>>740247498Thanks lad, I was just wondering about those
>>740248063there are like 2 chests in the zone next to it and also a roof that you can't reach and a 100 bone floating mid air on the way to his shop and somehow that wasn't enough of a hint?I'm the guy everyone called retarded for not knowing you could burrow into water and even I picked up on that.
>>740239954A mouse is fine too...
I actually kind of hated the demo but I still ended up giving it a chance and bought it and damn I'm having a blast. It's been years since I've had such a good time exploring. The best thing about this game's exploration is that when you find a hidden area, it doesn't just hand you a reward, there's at least one or two rooms of challenge attached to it. Finding the pipe to the railway tracks on the farm and then exploring the tunnel was ludokino.
everyone has their brainfart moment somewhere down the line, even if you don't think so.
>>740239954About to do my last tower in the mirror dimension, some thoughts:I fucking hate the implementation of subweapons so much it's unreal. Also, I keep finding myself comparing Mina to Pipistrello in multiple ways and considering it to be inferior.I hate that because I should be enjoying this game, and it's objectively good. But is it original? No. It also loves wasting my time.
>>740239954What if a link to the past was A SOULSLIKE?!?!? :Obrilliant idea faggots. game could've been fun too
I 100% the game a couple days ago but I slightly agree with the mirror thing. Of course, I immediately realized it when I literally saw the NPC walk into the giga mirror, but that was after I had left the Crypt and it was mildly annoying walking back to the Crypt mirror. I even went to the mirror room while exploring the Crypt for the first time and thought the mirror was just decorative. The little mouse NPC talking about her sister isn't even really a hint either because it can be interpreted as flavor text or something else not relevant because that mirror is inaccessible for a long time.
>>740249059I keep seeing people complain about the subweapon system, what's so bad about it? It's a little annoying to have to find a specific one you need for platforming yeah but that's the only problem I can think of
>do bone beach before septemberg>carver boss dies in like 15 seconds because I have 8+1 attackthey probably should have made area bosses scale more if you go out of order
>>740249115there's nothing souls like about this gameyou win by positioning and dodging preemptively, not by hitting the invincibility button when the hit boxes collide
Playing with 20% slower boneups and higher shop prices but no other mods is the idea first playthrough experience imo>t. still doing said playthrough
>>740249549I mean, technically you CAN win by getting the shield and parryingThat said, the second you get a shield upgrade, it ruins your ability to spam parry
>>740243284mina the swallowed
>>740249903I had like 20k bones at 100% completion. Wonder if the non-leveling mode with pre-set balance from start is fun.

>>740249261They probably shouldn't have had a leveling system in the first place, and just strictly weapon upgrades.
I just finished Coltrane. It was the weakest level so far, but the wolf centipedes were a pretty fun enemy idea
why is it possible to move mina's face around with the dpad while talking to people
>>740250756I think Bone Upping is there mostly for instant gratification from bone collecting. Maybe the same could've been achieved by getting more incremental weapon upgrades, like in a Ratchet & Clank game

>>740250935Because sovl.
Mousey paws....
>>740245968>-BLM is not an organizationThere was an official BLM that everyone donated money to.Also this is a complete non-sequitur. There is no official antifa but if someone wants to donate to antifa, and finds their local cell or whatever and gives them $20k, it would still be "funding antifa" even if there's no central organisation.>giving YCG money today does not go towards any "BLM" organizationsIt repays money to them after they gave it away to a cause that I am opposed to. They have also shown a tendency to fund causes that I am opposed to; they've been strapped for cash trying to get Mina out, but if they're successful enough to start having spare money again, they could easily do the same thing again.

>he wants to play the dungeons in orderLOL just go for it, man.
>>740250023the devs had too much fun torturing this old mouse lady
>>740251550A valid one would probably be a good start :)
>>740251810Pretty much every enemy and attack in the game is dodgeable. You'd just spend a long ass time fighting things and honestly would likely be better off just avoiding combat wherever possible to save time.
>>740251381Being opposed to something is so useless it can hardly be called an opinion. But it's what social media algorithms and other control measures teach people to focus on, instead of something that actually benefits anyone

>>740252226also I think the burrow as a dodge is a shitty mechanic in general. a dodge or dash would be better. still, awakening and lttp are hard to beat in general.I dont want to turn on ez mode stuff, it should be balanced better.
Why does Lionel, the largest townsperson, not simply eat Mina (the Hollower)?
>>740252324>also I think the burrow as a dodge is a shitty mechanic in general.If you try to use it like a Dark Souls roll, you're gonna have a bad timeLots of attacks can be dodged by simply moving or jumping, you don't need to burrow away from literally everything.

>>740252324>wtf the game doesn't work exactly like every other game and actually has interesting multi purpose mechanics that make it more unique and fun? terrible game design

>>740240945Are these commentors unironic bots? What the fuck? In the top half he explains in detail how much the game beats you over the head with how you can enter mirrors. And even mentions the NPC that walks into the mirror, where the game is all but directly telling you to try to do the same thing. Then in the very next line he calls it obscure. And most of the comments under the video appear to be in agreement that it is obscure. Not because they somehow weren't aware of all the hints. But in spite of being aware of all the hints, they still don't get it. What the fuck?
>>740253000The "NPC" meme isn't just a meme. Most normies are genuinely this stupid and clueless.
I'd like the burrow more if jumping along was enough to dodge a variety of enemy attacks, but they give zero shit about your vertical state.
>>740252324>a dodge or dash would be betterThe jump is a dodge. And there are sidearms that dash. There is even a trinket that gives you a dash ability.

>Mina is supposedly a "good person">Can do a lot of bad shit through the entire game>Let kids get maimed by a pumpkin man>Steal from several people>Beat a man into an actual meat pile>Kill a leaf and steal his corpse right out of his funeral as a "trinket">Steal an old man's ladder>Murders everyone that stands in her way in cold bloodI may have missed some, but is this really our "hero"?
>>740253717>the last beastium in the OrreryYes.
>>740253717>is the last beastium in the OrreryYeah.You're probably like me and assuming the guy talking about collecting all 6 rewards you if you have them all, but he's actually just holding one of them.
>>740253750they all deserved it
>>740253750She's just here to fix the towers.Contractors don't have patience for bullshit.
>>740239954I wonder if this game would be as popular if Mina was a boy.
>>740253750does this look like a villain to you
>>740253750around mice, never be nice
>>740253750Absolutely evil mouse. Needs rape correction....
>>740240489Yes. Like I get it "Castlevania didn't let you keep all the sub weapons" but like... this isn't Castevania. if certain obstacles/platforms can't be overcome unless you have a certain trinkets, why can't I just have a fucking bag of holding.
>>740253750why is it perfectly fine to make bones currency and ransacking graves for cash okay, but taking a leaf corpse going too far.
How does "walking into mirrors" work? I've approached mirrors in the game before and I was able to look at my reflection and make faces but nothing besides that.
What if Beastium Mina and mutated Thorne came across each other in a secluded and romantic spot?
>>740254516There's an upgrade to the underlabs that lets you keep a permanent copy of any sidearm you want, and an upgrade that lets you carry two sidearms. So you can effectively have three at your disposal without having to go searching for one. That and there's very few places in the world that outright require a specific sidearm, probably only 2 or 3 for each one.....yeah it's still kinda dumb though
>>740254182unfortunately cute boys dont sell
>>740254645You just walk into them. Don't press any buttons.
>>740254645Keep pressing the arrows, bro.
>>740254645>How does "walking into mirrors" work?Have you tried walking into a mirror?
>>740254759>>740254734Ok then I'm assuming not all mirrors can be walked into.
>>740254781I mean you SHOULD be able to walk into any mirror that has the prompt to look at it up close.
>Mina now get big gauntlets>they're weaker than the Hammer but stronger than the other weapons>one of the upgrades is a charge fist dash, you're fully invincible during the dash but you can't cancel it until you go the max distance (say like five tiles or so) or hit a wall Would you use them? Or workshop it.
>>740254872>you're fully invincible during the dash but you can't cancel it until you go the max distanceLiterally everyone would use them to just get around faster. The iframes are just a cherry on top. Sounds overpowered as fuck
>>740255094Hmm... then either take the iframes away or make the charge time be longer. Honestly, I just like little characters (especially ladies) with big weapons.
>99 joules stored to spam the green vial in the final bossPoor fucking guy, didn't even have to learn his Punch out winking
>>740255094Ive written too many stories about that image. Too many rodent stories I've left hanging. I wish rodents were real...
>>740255313Anon you can literally go to Petco right now and buy a cute lil rat.
>>740255426what have you done...
>>740240945He's right. Something as important as fast travel should be done by pressing A. Requiring an esoteric input should be reserved for secrets, not core gameplay.
>>740254872We already have a cute mousegirl with fist weapons, there can't be two.
>>740255530He doesn't have to fuck it. I used to have a pet rat when I was a kid but he had massive balls and it made me uncomfortable, so I sold him to a neighbor.
>>740255776most rats/hamsters are like thatthey've got the N U T T
I'm not going to bitch about not figuring a puzzle out but I never thought to just keep walking up against a mirror, I assumed I needed an item.
>>740256049while you can figure it out at any time, the real hint is when you see a scholar walk into a mirror that way.
>>740240945The only thing that I thought was 100% bullshit was that red chest outside of the crypt entrance. The only "tell" was that the room was symmetrical and the right side had a breakable wall and that's fucking stupid.
>>740253000To be a doubles advocate, that guy's point is>the game gives you a ton of hints>but it never actually teaches you through gameplayIn other words, it's not really some grand secret where if you solve it you feel really clever, but at the same time if you don't pay attention to environmental clues you can still just miss it. Whereas if the game had done something like put you in a room where a mirror is the only exit, players would be forced to figure it out even if they hadn't paid any attention otherwise.I don't agree with him because paying attention to the world is important and good. But at the same time people think Mina is a soulslike where you just rollslop your way past enemies, so I can kinda see why someone might get mad that they have to actually think about environmental clues and not just rollsop through linear levels.
>>740253750Anon she's a fucking mouse.A mouse cannot be a villain
>>740253750Black-hearted evil Brave-hearted hero
>>740256152Well that's fair game then, I probably just haven't gotten there yet.
>>740255562sex rat
>>740256381That's just what the villainous mouse wants you to think, before she steals your virginity
Speaking of mice, I wish Jojo and Amily got more content in CoC.
>>740239954Can someone gen one of these for Septemburg?
The ramblomatic guy is capable of good points, but when he misses, it's absolutely baffling stuff, like his RE9 points. He probably wouldn't be capable of catching as much ire if he didn't present himself as so self assured and effortlessly right, but that's how it goes with youtube gaming personas.
>>740256049I think the fact that when you walk up to mirrors, the only prompt is the action prompt that just makes Mina look at herself. The fact that this is the only thing you can do when you encounter the mirrors for the first time, it kinda teaches people "yeah this mirror doesn't really do anything but look at how you can see Mina's face! cool, right? okay bye." Like the other anon said, the only real hint is seeing the scholar walk into the mirror very blatantly. People bringing up the little sister mouse NPC isn't really a point because it's not really a hint. Might as well say the snake guy in the crypt talking about the guy in the red shawl is a hint too (because it's not).
Why the hell would you hide the fast travel system behind a secret? I don't care how hard the secret is to find, it's still obscured. Why?
>>740256703>The ramblomatic guyDamn. That guy created PC masterrace and a horror game series slenderman was based on.
>>740256936not enough yellow paint for you, pablo?
>>740253416The blaster is honestly the best weapon in the game in my opinion.Though L1 shield is also good (NEVER upgrade that shit because you lose the ability to spam it)
>>740256703Yahtzee should send all of his yellow background videos to an AI and have that write his scripts for AAAslop. Then he’d have more time for indies.
>>740256936Move slow, snailmouse
This game would not be out of place on UFO 50 and that's not a compliment.
>>740257028>>740257106You're still not justifying it. Imagine if Dark Souls' fast travel system was locked behind finding Ash Lake. Would you also defend that?
>>740256310I mean I figured it out pretty fast when I saw the guy enter the mirror at the mansion. It doesn't take much push for it to start making noises and a reasonable person might keep pressing against it to see what happens.
>>740257012Sorry, I'm a nephew. I'm younger than the game boy color
>>740256936Hardly call a big ass train station a secret. And if you're talking about mirrors, pretty sure you can't complete the game without finding them
>>740257030I'll keep repeating this tip. Just sell the throw upgrade to the pawn shop. Or really any other upgrade you don't like the feel of.
>>740256526>spoilerShe can't. I will tell her no. Problem solved.
>>740256936mirrors are more of an unlockable shortcut than a fast travel system, and you need to learn how they work to get to one of the major areas of the game anyways so its not really a secret.
>>740253750Fuck off Lionel
>>740257221Are you going to pretend the mirrors are invisible?
>>740257520That’s Baron Lionel to low class scum such as you
>>740256936>secretThere's literally an NPC you watch enter a mirror.
>>740257606>examine mirror>get worthless interactionWhy would you assume you need to perform an esoteric action instead of getting a later item?>>740257490If it's mandatory than it shouldn't be a secret. Ash Lake is obtuse to find, but it's 100% optional. That's good game design.
do you have to unlock something to do with the mirrors or can you do it from the start if you are 500 iq? I tried hitting them, jumping toward them, burrowing under them, walking into them. idk the crypt mirror especially seems pretty sus.
Are mirrors the new complaint (literally shown in game what to do) after everything else failed to catch on
why are so many people getting filtered by both the water jumping and mirrorsare you all retarded? serious question
>>740257997They only unlock after a certain point IIRC
>>740258102yellow paint exists for a reasonthat reason being most people are retards, yes
>>740258102>water jumping>tfw found the multi-burrow trinket before that area>had boots as wellGame does a bad job of teaching that you can burrow into the deep water though.
>>740250023>MMMMMM>Crunch crunch crunch>Gulp
Complaining about the Mirror is the modern version of this
>>740254208she is red
>>740254697Someone's making a cute boy RPG form but he's a terminal flake.Still, Cosmobreeder actually came out...
>>740258218>Game does a bad job of teaching that you can burrow into the deep water though.see: >>740246238
>>740258218>Game literally teases you with bones in a line across water that requires burrowingI figured it out the second they did that.
>>740258314Fuck. Imagine an early AVGN video about Mina.
Why does fur, snouts and paws make some people so horny?
>>740257997>>740258168>the mirror secret doesn't even work from the startWow, this is worse than I thought. What bad game design.
>>740258398>game is a love letter to Link's Awakening>"Oh, I'll need a Flipper equivalent to grab these, or use this fishing rod"
I genuinely don't understand the complaint about mirrors. "Secret" isn't even the right word because the mirror tower is mandatory. Are people genuinely this retarded? The game literally tells you on like five different occasions that mirrors are portals.
>>740251938Oh yeah, that.I want Mina inanimate TF, and I want it now-
>>740258675The real secret is the people complaining haven't played the game at all, they just watched the video about it.
>losing my mind trying to find the bone beach train>turns out it was actually in sandfalls Fucking retard devs. Too busy donating to BLM to put accurate text in the game
>>740258757I think the only complaint I've seen that comes from people actually playing the game is probably subweapons being somewhat annoying.
>>740258675the actual action of "walk forwards into the mirror for a bit" is a dumb way to implement that, completely unintuitive way to interact with anything
>>740258675Would you defend it if the game required entering the Konami code to enter mirrors?
>>740258675The best part is that someone literally walks into the first mirror you see. Right in front of you. A big empty room with nothing but that happening in it. People must be too focused on manually breathing to notice.
>>740258675I missed the moon boss in the bayou so I had no clue, I did walk into a mirror by accident though so it worked out
>>740258870yes, considering the game would literally show someone doing that and hint at it multiple timessince that's what it does with walking into them
>>740258870Obviously not. Holding up and seeing the glass start to warp should immediately clue you in, if it didn't you're either blind or retarded.
>>740258675its literally just shitposters latching on to anything in an attempt to derail threads
Is the new anti-shill tactic is pretending to be retarded now?
If this game wasn't a homage to GB Zelda games no one would give a fuck about it. The core gameplay is just bad
>>740259050Why would you hold up? That makes no intuitive sense. Logically pressing A should be sufficient. The fact it isn't is bad game design.
>>740259121Consider that the "it looks like fucking shit" poster hasn't appeared while this is happening. Curious...
>>740258560That's cause it's blocked off until you beat Thorne. Who is literally one screen away after the ribbon orphanage opening stuff. You can pretty much go into the mirror world as soon you finish the mandatory intro stuff cause thats when the game opens up
>>740259152It makes perfect intuitive sense. Do you enter doors in the game by standing there and pressing a button to interact with them?
every single complainer I see in these threads sound like brain-damaged retards. Actual mongoloid people
>>740259152>Hm, pressing A just examines the mirror. There must be something more to it.>Pushing against it makes a noise, what happens if I keep pushing?
>>740257997You can access it immediately after the prologue ends.
>>740256526>be minding your own business in an alley in ossex>suddenly a hole gets made under you>get sucked into an underground cave>a mouse woman suddenly mounts you and threatens you with a hammer if you don't let her rape you>get used like a rag and thrown out onto the streets covered in scratch marks and mouse juices
>>740239954Who is Nox? I killed his beast in his bayou.
>>740259152>why would you use your movement option to move into a glorified door (like you do to enter literally any other screen in the game)It's time to admit that maybe you are just stupid
>>740259381oh, it takes multiple seconds to enter any other screen in the game? and you're retarded?
>>740258675Modern games have turned everyone into a DSP clone. Give people a game from before 2012 and they'll just look up a youtuber's 5 hour long recap of the whole game instead. Mina can be criticized for so many things, but having hints that aren't even half as vague as shit from the 90s is not one of them.
>>740259336>tfw Lionel is watching all of this happen so he can use it against Mina later
>>740259305Why can't you enter mirrors by pressing A?
man fuck this piece of shit boss fight, genuinely insane
twitcha twitch
>>740259524Yeah but if he brings it up I'll just say "Well I enjoyed it after the fact."
is there cheese in the game
>>740259643props for doing it with the hammer, i could only manage with the daggers
>>740259505>game literally shows you NPCs walking into a mirror at least twice>mentions mirrors in the newspaper>among other bits of NPC dialogue talking about itit's not vague at all, people are just dumb
>>740259548A isn’t the walk button
>>740259643By that point I had discovered the power of the slow health drain trinket and just started bursting bosses to death
>>740259643I forgot about this until the end of the game and by then I just mashed dagger attacks and burrowed around until I won
>>740259643It's a good boss especially with the drill
>>740259763That trinket actually has a use?
>>740259745>examine mirror>get high-effort but useless interaction>"Um, this must require a later item."???
>>740244120>Because Shovel Knight is the de facto face of indie video gamesSteve.
>>740259893>try walking into it>see some sparkles start to appear>keep holding forward>enterwow, so difficult
>>740259870Combine it with the Beastium that reduces the damage you take, and you can tank a lot of shit. You need to find better ways to heal though, since the Beastium makes Vials basically pointless.
>>740259929Why would you try walking into it?
>>740259925minecraft is not indie
Fellas, i wandered around, collected some bones and some random stuff. After this i decided to go a direction and ended up in the swamp area, which i then almost full cleared except killing an obnoxious moon boss. After fixing the tower i decided "This game is actually fucking garbage".
>>740259870It's incredibly broken if you combine it with the right things since as long as you don't hit real zero you can't die.
So is the game actually good or are you only playing it for the cute mouse?
>>740259962Not anymore, but it was originally.
>/v/ thenGAMES DON'T HAVE MANUALS ANYMORE FUCKING ZOOMER CUNTS GOD DAMMIT YOU ILLITERATE FUCKS YOU NEED YOUR HAND HELD FOR EVERY FUCKING THING THERE IS NO EXPERIMENTATION OR EXPLORATION OF MECHANICS SAVE ME NIGGER-MAN I'M GOING INSAAAAANE>/v/ nowHOW DO I USE THE CORE GAME MECHANIC IN A GAME WHERE IT IS BEATEN INTO YOU REPEATEDLY THAT THE CORE GAME MECHANIC EXISTS WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S IN THE MANUAL I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THAT SHIT SAVE ME NIGGER-MAN I'M GOING INSAAAAANE
>>740259893>"Um, this must require a later item.""You'll never need Trinkets or special equipment to progress along the main path" -ingame manual
>>740260083Do you want to play a top-down 2D Souls-like with a dodge roll that has a huge delay? That answers your question.
>Just watched Yahtzee's video on bad hintsYeah rare L on his part. Comparing the mirrors to the Sonic 3 barrels is even more hilarious.And people wonder why everything is so spelled out and splattered with yellow paint.
>>740260184There's LITERALLY an in-game manual in the options menu
>>740260283It's the exact same. It would be fine if the useless A button interaction didn't exist. That's what makes it bad.
>>740242361>>740242495>>740242794Why would I buy a game where the devs are filtered by keyboard and mouse controls
>>740260280It's not a dodge roll and it's not even used slightly like a dodge roll. Christ.
>>740260280It's not really a dodge roll, though. There's plenty of attacks that will hit you underground, and some that will hit you if you burrow instead of jump
Does the game have analog movement? Why is keyboard bad?
>>740260348Why would you want to play a top-down Zelda-like game with keyboard and mouse?
>>740239954This looks good but I saw some post the devs made about Black Lives Matter and Ive decided not to support them financially.Maybe Ill pirate it a year from now when its patched up and has DLC.
>>740260423There will be no DLC.
>>740249234There's no easy access to the ones you want unless you know where it is, and you drop it on death until you get a base upgrade>>740260389There are a few diagonal jumps but I'm 90% sure you don't need them at all since there's a mutator that gives you classicvania-style jumping.
>>740260345>useless A button interactionIt has a use, though. It is very cute.>>740260389I'll be honest I have no idea because the game only detects the horizontal axis on my stick so I played the entire thing with the D-pad
It's not just the mirror, the game does not explain anything from the very start. This does not make the game harder, but shows the devs are willing to make their product worse to appeal to this illusion
>>740260389It does not.
>>740260514I'm very sorry you were dropped on the head as a child, but I don't have this problem
>>740259718>>740259763>>740259814>>740259849Thinking back at least I enjoyed having to actually move around and shit but like. The skeletons not being hittable when they're in the air makes this unfun. The blue ball following you too. I was seething so fucking hard
>>740242495Game is bad on controller too. Any platforming section makes it dead obvious the intended way to play is using the D-pad, and not the analog
>>740260083It's a solid action adventure, solid open world, though level scaling does mean you're somewhat funneled into the same areas early game. The world is very detailed, 99% of secrets are telegraphed well, build variety is pretty varied despite there being only 5 weapons, and it has a solid amount of actual platforming challenges that can be completely trivialised with the right trinkets. The only downsides to it are the story is really pulled back, the sheer NPC variety and personalities doing a lot of heavy-lifting on the predictable barebones narrative. It's a very gameplay-centric game that still expects you to be invested in the world, so it can make it hard to care for secret hunting, which could make the game harder since a lot of the rewards are trinkets and money. Also mouse sexo.
>cutscene of someone walking into a fucking massive mirror almost the size of a house>mirror in the first dungeon, mirror in a house, mirror mentioned by a homeless crow, and again a giant fucking mirror in the manorJust admit you don't pay attention. I didn't have to look up anything to complete the game.
>>740260348Keyboard/Mouse is only superior for FPS and RTS games (maybe TPS too). Every non-Nintendo controller on the market even doubles as a PC controller, so you have a plethora of options. I don't know why you'd shoot yourself in the foot and willingly hunch over a keyboard for a platformer or a top-down game.
>>740260742>examine mirror>nothing happens???
>>740260742I found out about the mirror by complete accident. I'm playing mina the hollower, not mario 64
>>740260792It's a fucking door, mate. You walk into those, not press A like a ninny.
>>740260280Mouse sex it is.>>740260657Thanks for the extensive answer, will check it out.
>>740260647>Game is bad on controller too. Any platforming section makes it dead obvious the intended way to play is using the D-pad,Do controllers NOT have d-pads? You just contradicted yourself.But anyway, the GBC did not have a stick of any kind. So obviously the intent was D-pad primarily. But I've been playing largely with the thumbstick and it's been fine so I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
>>740260745>>740260416>Blahblahblah my game sucks No one asked
>>740259960Because I saw two different NPCs do that.
How do you know you're supposed to jump into mirrors in Mario 64?
>>740260745Because we want to spend 90% of our effort using fingers and 10% thumbs, not the other way around.
>>740258675I didn’t realize the mirror thing until after you light 5 generators and see the scholar enter the manor mirror. At that point I started jumping up against it and trying other things before I finally entered. I had previously found several other mirrors it just never clicked to me that you have to walk into it. I thought for sure it was some kind of item required
>>740260930>Do controllers NOT have d-pads?They tend to be really bad and very sensitive on the diagonals to where just walking in a straight line in a 2D platformer without ducking is a chore, and deadzone editing is also lacking in options.
>>740260610>Undying>DiesI'm tired of being lied to in fucking games.
>>740260184my only problem is that they didn't make the manual more noticableI'll tear through any manual, I love reading them, but this one is so blandly tucked away in the middle of the menu options my eyes glaze over
>>740261080buy third party controllers
>>740261080You're not even wrong about that. I hate most controller d-pads. But I have an 8bitdo dogbone controller and it has a d-pad about as good as classic nintendo controllers. Would recommend.
>>740260930nta but it does bother me a little that it uses GBC aesthetics but the controls are more fitting of a SNES controller. It's not like there's a third party controller layout for a Gameboy layout of all things, but still. That other anon is retarded though, the platforming is the same difficulty no matter the controller or keyboard.
I played the whole game using a DS4 d-pad, felt fine to me
>>740261014Yer thumbs broke or something?
>>740261080Protip: it's 2026. We live in an era where third-party gamepads blow official console pads the fuck out, they're not like 2004 mad catz shit.
>>740260610>Never got to experience this fight because I did it near the end and the boss melted in 10 secondsWhy did they gatekeep this with that retardedly long pit?
>>740259870Combine it with the medallion trinket that makes you not lose yellow hp, and if you want the quick heal one. When your health reaches zero, you can live on borrowed time for few seconds to max your healing and get back to full.You can probably combine it with Bonnet too, since you are on 0hp most of the tough boss fights.
>>740260610for every webm showing a victory, there are countless defeats hidden behind
Does anyone have the soundbyte that plays when Mina gets caught in a mouse trapJust curious, haha
>>740261216The SNES controls thing is necessitated by the fact that it needs more buttons for convenience. Which is really quite fine. Worst part about GB Zeldas is you only have 2 buttons to work with and constantly have to rebind your items because of it.And personally, I do feel like platforming is easier on controller, but it depends on what you're used to I suppose.
>>740261358Purple?? Who colors their Mina purple
>you can turn Mina fully invisible by setting all 3 colors to transparentsensible chuckle
>>740261515NTA but I do too.
>>740261515I considered the same palette as that anon, but it felt wrong changing fur color so I only changed the clothes
>>740261515I did. Normal fur with a purple outfit felt more "final" than green or blue.Greena is early/mid game.Blue feels like a bathrobe.Purple is final form powerful.
>>740261703I'm pretty sure one of the modifier presets (Barf mode I think) do this too because when I activated it I couldn't see Mina. On top of other things...
rat feet
>>740261459Very true, it only bothers me because I'm a bit of a sperg. I refuse to use modern controllers for emulated games since half the buttons often get unused. Luckily Mina feels perfectly fine with my third party SNES controller, even if I have to still remember that it means B when ti says A, and X when it means Y and so on.
>>740261515I made mine teal colored
>>740261182It's literally right there in the options menu. I refuse to believe you don't immediately look at the options menu when getting a new game.>>740261281I have a third party switch controller, I can't even change the game to show the right letters even though they still use ABXY.>Take it apart an-The letters can't be swapped out because they don't fit in the other slots.
DS4 controller turns into a light show while playing Mina the Hollower. Constantly changing color in cutscenes and has level specific colors.
>>740261952>he's looking at the letters on his pad while he playsYou are actually retarded.
>>740262030>have had blackout tape over the light for 10 years nowthat shit was annoying as hell, baffling hardware decision
The whole mirror thing would be a non-issue if the game forced you to go back to the Manor after finishing the crypt or something. I always went back to the Manor after I finished an area just in case something changed but I guess some people blitzed through the game without ever visiting it again so they never got to see the scholar walking into the mirror until lategame.
>>740262407 No I play on 3DS and Switch and PC and XBOX. I'd rather just have playstation glyphs but nobody does that anymore.
>>740262773Well there is that weapon chest with the lion guard, isn't there?
Am I just a shitter or does this game feel like absolute shit to play. I'm only an hour in and attacking with the flail locks you in place so long the entire game is just waiting until you get your approved window to deal damage and everything kills you in three hits.
>>740263963>the entire game is just waiting until you get your approved window to deal damagewelcome to soulslike games
>>740261703I really thought this would be the trick to getting into the trinket shop basement.
I really like the game style but I am a fucking loser. I am at the ice world and i died like more than 100 times. Do you guys recommend something or any tip ( additonal of stop being a loser)? Sometimes it feels very frustrating and annoying.
>>740263963A bit of both. Once you're comfortable with jumping and burrowing you're rarely if ever stuck waiting for openings.
>>740264038I've beaten plenty of soulslikes, this one just feels particularly shitty to play. Please tell me that it gets better and the flail was an awful first choice
>>740264272equip the revive from death itemequip the 2 extra healing flasks itemequip the "you don't lose plasma when hit" itemequip the "you gain more plasma from enemies" itemequip the "you heal in an instant" itemThen facetank everything
>>740264272The ice world isn't that bad, just note these two things: Steady Shoes make the ice way more tolerable, and there is a hidden underlab before the boss, the entrance is on the south end of the pit.

MINA THE SWALLOWER
>>740264397Slow drain works even better than two extra flasks
>>740260083best game since silksong, and I liked it almost as much. very solid 9/10. only real complaint is that it feels a bit bullshit before you start finding the good items/weapons/trinkets and way too easy too fast once you do, but i guess that's what later replays with self-imposed / cheevo-chasing limitations and difficulty-increasing modifiers are forI think the rat's really cute though and a little sad there aren't many other characters on that level, a bunch of reasonably charming npc's but a ton of fugly ones, unnecessary h*mans everywhere almost all of whom are fugly as hell except like the duke and guy you went to school with, music is mostly awesome but to my personal tastes i kinda prefer most Kaufman's other ost's that focus on extreme catchiness, while Mina has some of those it's mostly focused on atmosphere, nothing really wrong with that though. A few total bullshit moments/rooms and a kind of bizarre amount of 'jumpscares' and weirdly dark moments that felt incongruous with the style and Yacht Club's previous faire. Also probably my biggest pet peeve, a shitload of massive boss sprites that for some reason you can't go behind at all despite the perspective, the literal entire sprite is a hitbox. You get used to dealing with it but it took a lot of beating it into my head as the rest of the game outside these specific bosses is all about burrowing to the other side and attacking enemies from behind when possible.tl;dr legitimately extremely good game with a handful of nitpicks. I still think Shovel Knight is a more flawless and timeless game but Mina is an incredibly worthy successor (even if we're going right back to more SK soon... hopefully Mina will get some big fat juicy DLCs though)

>>740265221She eats a lotta dirt when he's digging
Has anyone here tried the randomizer settings? Does it work as a rando game? Feel like it wouldn't really make that much of a difference, since you can do almost anything with your base toolkit.
>>740260280People don't seem to understand your jump is a valid dodge against most attacks too, which doesn't have a delay at all. Being underground just lasts much longer.
>>740261515Must be a hammer thing, I also chose purple for my final Mina.Just beat the game, hammer is so satisfying once you get good at borrowing into swings and dodge rolling into charge hits. What weapon should I run for NG+? I'm looking at daggers.
>>740239954Mouse girls are qt
>>740264272Buy all the health upgrades from the shop in town. Also you can completely trivialize the game with random trinkets you should already have by the time your reach that area
>>740265423Daggers are my second favorite behind hammer, go for itI did shield for NG+ but mostly used sidearms instead
>>740265351>Does it work as a rando game?Not really, the game has virtually no key items as you said, so it's more of a "remix" than a "randomizer"
>>740260610>>740261358>one hits takes away more than half of your HPgreat game design bro!
>>740265464correct
>>740262773At the very least the newspaper does just outright tell you about "creatures WALKING through mirrors" so if all else fails there's that. Unless you just don't talk to NPCs at all for some reason
>>740264569This is retarded, there are plenty of non-shooters built with keyboard controls in mind. People need to get their head out their ass and stop shitting on the arrow keys being the objectively superior movement option.
>>740265634She looks like she gets anally cumflated by human men.
>>740265743Nah, she's the one doing the cumflating. To human men.

>>740264272Equip the boots that let you walk normally on ice. Farm bones from the bonfire spawn near Septemburg or the boss in the Mirror World and just level everything and buy everything from the shop. Switch to whip and jump attack. Equip the lifeguard ring trinket that makes you do a mini jump when falling in a pit. Get the trinket that lets you burrow longer. Get the wisp trinket that slows your descent after jumping. Use the green life jar sidearm.
>>740265464i love mouse

>>740266736>ticklei've been talking about her feet all day and not even i think about shit like this. stop pretending.
>>740239954She looks like she donates large sums of money to men of dark complexions
Im not a game journalist and i didnt turn off any settings in my playthrough but the platforming is so bad especially near the end that id rather just replay links awakening.
>>740266756Then she'll have to find some other way to pay me.
PIT DAMAGE IS FUCKING CRAZY
>>740261459There's actually a romhack for LA DX that lets you use four buttons through the Super Game Boy mode on a SNES emulator. For some reason I didn't get color, though, but it should be possible according to the screenshots https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/9446/
>>740266736pretty cute for fetish art
>>740265643>>740266153That's just the same problem as not going to the Manor and the second quote is the same problem as the little mouse girl NPC. Forcing the player to actually see the scholar walking through the mirror early to get all players on the same page would've just solved this "issue". Or even make the word "mirror" a different color when it shows up in text like some other games. And just to note, I personally did not have a problem with the mirror, but seeing as quite a few people did, it could've been changed to be more apparent for other players.
>>740267058depending on how long that takes to configure, I might have to do that for my next playthrough
>>740266995>i didn't turn on easy mode, but man i want to so badjust do it, faggot. own it up and accept you're a bitch.
>>740267202There's nothing to configure. A and B are mapped to the sword and shield, and can't be changed. X and Y work like A and B do without the mod. L and R also lets you cycle items, but I didn't play enough to test that. I need to find the right emulator to use, but I've been busy with other games
>>740267183The game literally tells you to read the newspapers.
I’ve played oracle of ages and seasons more than any anon here. So tell me the gosh darn truth /v/… Is it fun?
>>740267314The newspaper stands also vibrate with their lid wobbling off the top until you finally examine the unread papers, too. So it's not easily ignored.
>>740267323It's not really like Zelda besides the gbc visuals. It's really more of an action platformer. It is fun though.
>>740267323You'll be disappointed if you expect any Oracle similarities beyond the spritework. I liked it enough for three playthroughs.
>>740267306If theres anything that doesnt need to exist its the souls mechanics because top down platforming sucks dick even if youre good at the combat.
>>740267428>>740267526Gotcha. Well can I be a try hard and not buy any thing or level up? I hear a lot of people complaining about difficulty but is it artificial difficulty? Or is it completely your fault?
>>740253750>Mina IS a good person>CAN do a lot of bad shit through the entire game>SAVED those kids>BORROWED from several people>SELF DEFENSE from attempted pickpocketing>ACCIDENTAL murder and also leaves don't have rights>BORROWED an old man's ladder AND gave it back after she was done with it>SELF DEFENSE from TRAITOROUS TERRORISTS
>>740267621Yes, you can even sell all your upgrades if you want. There are also a bunch of extra difficulty options if you wan to be a masochist. On a normal playthrough it's really only difficult at the beginning. Once you get used to the burrowing ability and get some upgrades the game becomes much easier. Hitboxes can feel weird sometimes but it's generally pretty fair.
>>740267323Yes. Yacht Club have good intuition about what makes a game fun. It's not 1-to-1 a Zelda game, but you can feel the love for the mechanics deep in its DNA. Someone like you would probably have a good appreciation for it.If you like secret hunting, it probably does that better than any Zelda game, too.
>>740245218/thread
>>740267862>Yes, you can even sell all your upgrades if you wantNo you can't, faggot has a store limit. I actually uninstalled the game right after he said he couldn't accept any more items to sell. Fuck this piece of shit
I knew I was going to fuck it up. Fuck.>>740267621You start the game with everything required to beat it. Game swings quickly from hard to mostly easy as you pick up new defensive and utility tools. If you're in for a challenge there's even an achievement for beating the game with a negative collection% by not picking things up and selling to a certain amount below what you started with.
>>740261515Me
>>740267621Nta, I'd say it's fair difficulty, and a low level run is possible, in fact I think there are achievements for low percent, and not buying things. But that reminds me, is it me, or does the game force you to level up at times? If I ignore leveling up a couple times, the cancel button is grayed out for me.
>>740267621The game CAN be completed at Lv1 with no trinkets but it would be a tedious affair. The difficulty is quite rough in the beginning but it evens out once you get a few levels in attack power. If you want a more Zelda-esque experience without stat growth you can set Boning Up to Auto under modifiers.
>See dude going inside mirror>Stand in front of mirror and just do random movements like up and down, left and right and going in circles>Suddenly let's me enterDid I get lucky or is it really that easy? Feels like I skipped the "actually figuring it out" part.
>>740268019Cancel only appears if you can't purchase the bonestone.
>>740267862>Hitboxes can feel weird sometimes but it's generally pretty fair.Honestly the only time I felt that way was when I was above a boss. It's not 100% clear where 'safe' is so I just stopped moving above them.
>>740267621I forgot the main resson I replied>artificial difficultyMost challenges are fair, the only thing I'd call artificial difficulty is how poorly the game handles verticality. The most egregious example being massive towering bosses who still do contact damage near the top of their sprite.
>>740268235I see, yeah I never purchase bonestones. I don't even know if they go up in price too.
>>740242006>30 something nerdy stuck up mouse gets a local gigachad paladin
>>740267314>>7402674061. Do you think all the people playing the game will actually read them?2. Again, even if they did, the text can be interpreted as flavor text just like the the sister mouse NPC dialogue.This isn't an issue about reading or context. You can brush this off as "well those players are stupid retards who cant read who cares about them" but it's still a problem that could've been easily solved. This is an issue about being forcibly shown what can be done. I loved this game but is it really hard to admit that this problem could've been easily solved by presenting it in a way that can be guaranteed to be seen by every player early on?
>>740268582>Do you think all the people playing the game will actually read them?It's really not my problem if fuckwads want to play an action RPG and not read at all. People like Egoraptor who just button mash until the text is gone deserve all the time they waste aimlessly wandering.You play games wrong. So get fucked.
>>740268703Brother I 100% the game already and I already said I personally didn't have trouble with it, so you're obviously a retard who can't read. Fitting for you to post Akko, since you probably share the same single brain cell with her.
>>740269002I don't care if you beat the game or not, and I have no way of knowing if you're lying. It doesn't matter. Standing up for people who WANT to play the game wrong puts you right in their same camp. Fuck those kinds of people, I have no sympathy for them, and neither should you.
>>740267621The game is hard for the first 2-3 hours but then you get enough upgrades and trinkets and it becomes very easy imo
Is there a full archive of what the extra cheat codes do yet?
>>740268316They do so there's an upper limit.>>740268278A boss's entire sprite is its hitbox and hurtbox, this is made obvious in the first dungeon.
>>740267850>fangs instead of buck teethThis rat is a predator, she should NOT be trusted
How could they not give her cheese in her own game
>>740269339orphan-robbing monsters don't deserve cheese
>>740269162That's fair, but my intention wasn't to defend these people, but to give retards like Yahtzee less reasons to complain about the game.
I could tell that Lionel was evil just by the fact that he was rich. A studio that has donated to BLM will obviously think rich = evil.
>>740265603You can just use a modifier to lessen the damage if it bothers you.
>>740269717some of you guys let this blm thing live rent free in your heads jesus christi didn't even know about it before i started visiting these threads
>>740269717>Jews are evilYeah?
>>740269789It’s not rent free in my head to the point that I give $20,000 to criminals lol. Game is good btw, but I knew for a fact Lionel would be evil as soon as I saw his house because of the politics of the studio
>>740269789Wouldn't be /v/ without shitposters trying to derail the thread
>>740239954Now that there's no risk of bumping this because it's 500, this thread is what people mean when they're annoyed by paid marketing shills ruining this board. There's no content. No discussion. It's s fucking ad disguised as a legitimate thread that magically got 500 replies of engagement. This shit is what's wrong with current /v
I do not like this boss with the swarming mages in the astral zone
I'm doing a second playthroughRemind me where the second life ezmodo trinket is. Please.
>>740269473correct, they deserve human men to plap them
>>740269876If they didn’t donate to BLM they would have sold 300,000 copies +1. Sadly I had to download the free version because of that
>>740269893>no content>no discussion>casually ignores the entire thread to fit his schizo narrativekill yourself, niggerfaggot. no verification btw
>>740269945Fuccboi sidequest in the crypt
I knew Lionel was evil because he was big and purple and looks like he could break a spark generator in two with his bare hands>>740269945you get it from the duke when you seal him in the coffin
>>740269789It's literally just one shitposter spamming every thread for (You)s
>>740269717They signal Lionel being a bad dude in multiple ways. The NPC's near town telling you how good a dude the bat is, and how they intentionally didn't even destroy civilian housing.Plus I mean, the fucker has black sclera.
>>740269869Yeah, the evil guy should've been a homeless bum with no political or social influence. That's way more threatening of a villain. Villains don't care about things likeWealthOr powerOr influenceAnd most rich people are definitely good people.
>>740269895but that's the best midboss in the game
>>740270070I think you're wrong but I will pretend to respect your opinion
If you couldn't tell Lionel was the evil guy the second you saw him brush off the town being attacked, I don't know what to tell you.
>>740270163I could tell before I even stepped foot in radiant manor
>>740270229well I could tell before I even stepped off the boat so there
>all these anons saying Lionel is evilname one thing he did wrong
>>740260348>why would I buy a platformer if I can't play with a steering wheelyou do you
You should have been able to tell before even playing the gameKey art in the main trailer btw
>>740270323He didn't stop Mina or her crimes

>used any trinkets except the magnet and steady soles>used any sidearms for combat>used any weapon except the whip>didn't activate increased damage, fewer i-frames, slower bone up, and fewer underlabs modifiersYou didn't beat the game.
>>740268582>This is an issue about being forcibly shown what can be done.If that's the complaint that can kinda go for a lot of the game >The game didn't explicitly show me you can use the lava west of Ossex despite having enemies and forcing you to burrow next to lava to create a trail>The game didn't explicitly tell me I could swim in the Backwaters despite having bones in the water and having those rope bits that force you to burrow under them anyway.>Despite having multiple opportunities for hints about the Astral Orrey (with some of them outright telling you about people walking through them) the game didn't directly show me to walk into the mirror for more than a second despite the fact this isn't even outright necessary until late game for me to figure this out>I wasn't directly shown that I could dig under and move the purple bouncy things to reach other areas despite some of them having bones underneath them.>I wasn't told I could hook onto enemies and grapple using the fishing rod onto them despite the fact the only (optional) area outright requiring only opening up once you get the fishing rodThere's more but you get the idea. The game often clues you in on what to do without outright telling you what you need to do. Some people get it immediately, some don't. Some experiment, some don't even try.
>>740270671He brought her here in the first place...
>>740270698I did in fact beat Mt Coltrane using the anti slip boots And of course the gun
>>740270698steady soles is a top 10 trinket thoughie
>>740270698>used trinketsYou didn't even play the game.
>>740270720Didn't Thorne do that?
>>740244413I was also confused by this because manuals are for retards (apparently me) and didn't know you could dig in water, but with those stats you should really have some way to do 4 block jumps without sidearmsI will defend my and his retardation because I assumed you would get flippers at some point. The game's really not very good at indicating what is and isn't diggable, for example why the fuck can I not dig in fire?
>>740271091dirt hot or something? I dunno, the usual the rule of thumb is if the hazard in question isn't protruding from the ground you can go through it
>Can't dig into fire>Can dig into waterMake it make sense
>>740268582>it's still a problem that could've been easily solvedIt's only a problem for stupid retards who can't read. Why do we need to cater to people who fundamentally do not understand how to play video games? Why is a non-issue something that needs to be addressed?Everything about the mirrors is done right, it is objectively good game design. Why do we NEED to babyify it even more?
>>740271613Well if so many people complain about it then maybe it isn't good design
why does mina have a dance button
