Mina the Hollower launch discussion continued
Reminder that if you>used any trinkets except the magnet and steady soles>used any sidearms for combat>used any weapon except the whip>didn't enable increased damage, fewer i-frames, slower bone up, and fewer underlabs modifiersYou didn't beat the game
>>740272226Steady Soles trivializes Nox's Bayou and Coltrane though
>>740272226>I used a lot of different trinkets>I barely if ever used sidearms >I only used whip the entire time>I didn’t enable any modifiers whatsoever
Wish they include an option to CRT TV the graphics. NES games when played on modern monitors look like shit because there's nothing to blur the pixels like on old tv's so I don't know why they think it's a good idea to copy that style.
>>740272226>using any trinkets at allkek casual
>>740272226>steady solesYou didn't beat the game
>>740272226>steady soles casual
>>740272061i had zero knowledge of this game. i think i saw the trailer at Summe Games fest or something and said "damn that looks gay as fuck"then i saw the takes from people and decided to buy for Switch 2.right now its a strong contender for game of the year. very strong. i dont want to overstate it because i like Pragmata, FH7, RE, and Yoshis Mysterious Book. but i think right now this is it.for me its between this and Mysterious Book
twitcha twitch
>>740272284>>740272393>>740272409I forgot steady soles did anything except let you walk at full speed up stairs
Which one is it?
I feel like this game hits all the right spots for me, but I can't in good faith say it's a good game (yet). Playing it, it's like eating your favorite dish, except once in a while you take a bite that tastes like shit. I am not talking about the game's difficulty, but in overall design choices that make little sense that they were not immediately addressed in development stage. Which leads me to believe the devs are deliberately sabotaging their own game, just to create this idea that it somehow makes it "harder".
>>740272445retards like you disgust methe MechWarrior 5 dlc and Brigador Killers demo are 100x better than your rat gooner game
>>740272801that's a lot of words to say "I got filtered hard"
I’m about to beat the game and I just checked the collections log. Where the fuck was the fishing minigame
>>740272801yeah like the full screen first person view jumpscare in total darkness.what the fuck were they thinking
>>740272884Past a chest in nox's bayou
>>740272226Imagine caring what some non sex haver on /v/ thinks about what constitutes really beating a game.
>>740272129People don't seem to get that the high chance of killing Toriel by accident is a very clever choice, since most people will restart after doing so it allows Flowey to chew you out.
>>740272842not gonna lie, im kind of retarded. ill look into those, at least ill try out MechWarior 5
>>740272801>Food analogy Yeah you're a smoothe brain better start padding your walls now
>>740265797blog please
>>740273202round mouse...
The difficulty balancing is terrible. Why was all the difficulty for me in the first 3-4 hours and then became so fucking easy? Why do I kill all the bosses on the first try?
>>740272226Sorry I prefer to have FUN when I play games
>>740272567cheers big ears
I like when Mina squeaks, it's cute.
>>740272567
Has anyone dumped a sprite sheet for Mina yet?
This game has the problem where you can just run past 99% of encounters so the difficulty is optional. Same with souls shit
>>740273593If you do that, you won't have enough currency to level up or buy anything lol
>>740273593>This game has the problem where you can just run past 99% of encounters so the difficulty is optional.Unless you've levelled up def a bunch you'll die trying to do this. Especially if you're wearing the uranium trinket. It's much more difficult to run past enemies in this game than in dark souls.
The room where you have to platform through the dark with the moth is dogshit, seriously what were they thinking
Good video game. Not often I feel motivated to bother with achievements, let alone do multiple playthroughs.
>>740273682try and get her behind you
>>740272061I need to draw deranged fetish porn of this mouse, but I'll wait until I beat the game.
where the hell do I enter here from, I've combed every remotely nearby room
why did she do it?
>>740273850shifting sandskeep looking
>>740273705congratulations, your complimentary mouse wife is in the mail
>>740273118Why are you being such an immature cunt over an analogy? Grow up.
>>740272801I think half of it is them changing directors near the crunch time for development when they had to fix a 6 year old game that still wasn't working, and the other half was deliberately making flaws to be "fixed" with trinkets which is a cardinal sin in game design as far as I'm concerned.
>>740274005Shovel Knight had the same design philosophy if I remember; you can complete the game with just the knight's default skillset.
>>740273950good enough, I just needed a place to start from, I was mostly looking around Thorne's Garrison and the nearby caves
>>740273319no way this is real
>>740273859Also I really like the lady NPC sprites, wish there were more of themWhat animal is that anyway? Mouse? Chinchila?
>>740274115my nintendo works at uncle, it's -1% real
>>740273971Tonight just keeps getting better.
Do you prefer the Shovel Knight campaigns or Mina?
>>740274073There's a stark difference in pacing from Shovel Knight to Mina, a platformer versus an action RPG with volatile currency. But there's no reason options like "Hold down A instead of mashing to resubmerge without delay" should be tied to a trinket, for example. That would have made the game feel much smoother if you could tap or hold depending on what you wanted. In short, sure, you COULD do a level 1 souls run, but it would be a miserable experience. Especially compared to a platformer.
>>740274249KoC is a hard act to beat and I'm generally more of a platformer guy but I think Mina just barely takes it, even if there are a few things I think SKTT does better
>>740274163well my wife's son did the splash art
>>740274249I like it more than Specter Knight but less than Plague
>>740274365Mouse tummy..........................
Every time she gets revived with the lightning im just thinking that lil mouse pussy is squirting a waterfall!
>>740274249Plague ≥ Specter > Mina > King >>> Shovel
>spreads sweat particles on your board
>>740274005I agree but half the metroidvania genre is built on the idea of making you feel shit at the start and then drip feeding you upgrades to fix it
>>740274584Based Plague enjoyerHis campaign gets too much hate
>>740272874getting filtered by having taste
>>740272226>whipcels unironically think thisgrim
>>740274163If Mina got fat none of it would go to her tits.
>>740272445You are based. Don't mind that other anon name dropping literally whos like a whiny hipster
>>740274784that's not how fat works
>>740274617But in those games, the upgrade is permanent and leads access to newer areas, which is the real reward. In Mina you are limited to what trinkets to use at once, a capacity which you also have to slowly upgrade, and every area is meant to be accessible from the start, so they can't lock progress behind movement options. It's a mishmash of ideas that cause friction in practice, and once you get enough money to buy the upgrades you need the game becomes a cakewalk about 1/3rd into the experience.
>can only attack in 4 directionsWHAT WERE THEY THINKING???
>>740274810Mice don't have boobies, it's why Mina is flat.
>>740272445>my picks for game of the year are gameboy color mouse and ninetendo baby sensory gamethis fucking year man
This game was pure soul from start to finish. Wrapped it up last night with 100% collection. no modifiers. The banquet where Lionel goes over all of your "evil deeds" near the end was beyond kinopost favorite OSTs:https://youtu.be/UIu3SfM9yTg
>>740272061Ok but now that it's fucking out can they actually work on the Shovel Knight DE?
>>740274963MINA BITS
>>740274996not enough movie games this year for you, snoy?
>>740274969Anon what do you think defines a mammal?
Do we have the summarized info for NG+ yet? Not sure if I should start a NG+ run
>>740274654I won't fault anyone for disliking the recycled stages, but I fucking loved his potion gimmick, movement, and characterization. Specter was also a joy to play, but I didn't care for the other elements as much.
>>740274365Damn, I didn't expect to knock her up w/ triplets...
>>740275205It literally tells you when you pick the option.
>>740274365>>740274416Mina is the perfect vore pred if you think about it. She needs bones to buy items and level up, and she only heals buy damaging enemies. It's only natural that she would eat a bunch of enemies alive and digest them into bones as they struggle helplessly whilst she relaxes and recovers hp
>>740272620>doesn't know what the items doYou didn't beat the game.
>>740272313Just use reshade.
>>740275447Get the fuck out.
Been going around and 100%ing certain areas trying to collect everything before going into the mirror dungeon, not sure if I'll just do half then keep going with the story or what.
>>740275447Get the fuck out, but only because bones in vore is gross and nonsensical
>>740274930What counts as "a cakewalk" for you? I seriously doubt anyone 1/3 into the game beat that optional zombie boss no problem first try. Or maybe a lot of people did and I just suck at games.
>>740275754The mirror world isn't the last dungeon, just fyi
>>740272061I liked the ending, she went from being a Mary Sue, who not only invited the towers, but was also the best fighter, the best explorer, the leader of the monster hunters, to the most hated retard who ruined everything, unleashed chaos and might have even caused the deahts of the Hollowers
>>740272313unless I'm very wrong about a lot of things, I'm pretty sure the Game Boy's screen wasn't a CRT
https://youtu.be/KH9nZFM9Iw0COOK THAT SHIT UP KAUFMAN
>>740275853Yeah it was a crappy LCD screen until the GB Pocket and GBC which had a far better LCD screen.
>>740275885Kaufman's soundtracks are fucking voodoo witchcraft, somehow they never get old no matter how many times I listen to them
>>740275853Yeah but it was tiny. Even playing this in Windowed mode makes the screen far bigger than a GBC display.
>>740275805The ending was way more kino than I was expecting it to be. Especially with how predictable the the entire thing is up to that point
>>740275787I guess a question then: whenever I get to the final boss, does the game immediately end, or do I have the option to go back and finish everything before any New Game + shenanigans?
>>740275447Get the fuck in, king, bones in vore is kino
>>740276059After credits it lets you continue from your previous save and do whatever else you want before starting New Game+ at your leisure
>>740276059After the final boss and ending and such you just go back to the title screen and load your save from just before the final boss.
>>740275805the subversive but tender ending cemented this as my GOTY without a doubt
bro why do these boney ass birds 2 shot me. what the fuck is happening
>>740275805Remember: Lionel is always right.
>>740276138>>740276160Alright, might be worth it for me to just do that first. Thank you Anons.
Radiant Manor feels like the devs remembered this game is supposed to be hard and just threw all the bullshit they had at you all at once, I'm getting my ass handed to me by regular enemies
>>740276302I mean it is the final dungeon after all. They probably balanced it around having max level in everything.
how the fuck do you cross the pit at the courtyard of the manor? I've tried the bike, the shield, that little fly that helps you float and nothing
>>740276393I used the drill driver
>>740272061#1 —Battery Buster.#2 — Guardian Casket.#3 —Blaststrike Maul.#4 —Nightstar.#5 —Whisper and Vesper.

>>740272061Uhhh is there a way to get a better ending? That was pretty bleak. Also how is NG+? Is there anything new in it?1
has anybody been able to get this? i killed multiple bosses with the throw from as far away as i could manage but it never popsis it the distance?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD7NrlFNsOI>it's realThornebros???
>>740275090THEMOUSEGAAAAAAMMMMMMMMEEEEEEE
>>740272226If you don't have veteran mode on, I just ignore you.
>>740274591the board stinks good now
>>740276561janny applications are closed, too bad you missed your chance
>>740276059clear the game first, the final boss will be too much of a joke at 100%it's already easy anyway but yeah
>>740276591>Uhhh is there a way to get a better ending?technically yes if you manage to get absolutely 0 sins during the lionel dinner scene
>>740272061I'm surprised by how fun this game is. Usually, games like this struggle to hold my attention for long, especially if I run into a dead end and get bored. Shantae is a good example. I like the character, but only two Shantae games (Risky's Revenge and Pirate's Curse) were solid enough for me to see through. But I keep coming back to this one because it's simply fun as fuck. I'd say it's superior to Silksong in gameplay - Silksong had a huge problem of never really making you feel powerful, each upgrade was incremental to the point of frustration. Beat a tough boss, get jack shit for it, move to the next boss. But here, despite not being as focused on progression, new trinkets and tools always bring something new to the table, and you feel like you're getting somewhere, unraveling the world.It's a really damn good game, and Mina is very cute.
>>740275029That might be my favorite track as well, but I also really like https://youtu.be/l3-FjELGE6Y?si=1LzyrbN4uAca4kR6 and despite not being a huge fan of the tower segments I really like their music https://youtu.be/OsGih3_vCXs?si=XFvv9sv4VMMzeQk-
>>740274005I still 100% believe most of the movement trinkets were made as Metroidvania style upgrades before they got to the state they are now. Not sure what made them make that choice.
>>740276505>then prepare to get your ass kickedit wasn't that bad, I'm kind of late game-ish already and just pwned her with my hammer
Does anyone know if there are more changes to NG+ other than what the game tells you? Like new dialogue, new areas, new mechanics?
do the cats in the manor make the eyes glow? pls say yes
What's with the evil hollowers in Coltrane
>>740277460nopethere's no new content, it's just scaled up health/damage numbers
>>740277536Surprisingly, no, they don't. But most of them are easy to find if you just check most walls and corners.
>>740275779There's just a lopsided difficulty spike where the start of the game is the hardest part, but once you get rolling with upgrades everything else is super manegable. Which is fine for a linear game that can ramp up to your abilities, Mina is designed open ended so all areas have to be beatable with a default layout, so once you beat one or two areas, the rest of them pose less of a threat by nature of your power spike, and you keep snowballing from there without much pushback besides optional areas like the zombie boss you cited. You need to have access to certain trinkets, subweapons, and enough vial upgrades to even attempt that boss, which means some level of exploration is required to enter.
>>740277583Christ. It’s not a bad game but they have 20 employees and 6 years of dev work, they could have done a little more no?
>>740277615fuckki found them all easily except for one
>>740275805I don't really agree with your take on Mina. It's kind of strange for her to be such a good fighter, but besides that I wouldn't call her a mary sue. I mean basically every problem in the game is a result of her actions. Sure she's smart, but the creation of the generators fucked up everything in the first place and then she fucked everything up even more while trying to fix it. And while some of Lionel's accusations were bullshit a good chunk of them are legit depending on how you played. And whether you want to chalk it up to stubborness or stupidity, she took way too long to realize what Lionel was up to. Her competence is more of a curse for her than a blessing.
>>740277651Check the room with the two mimic enemies. That's the one I missed too.
>>740277637It would never be enough for someone like you
>>740277583They didn’t even add new items for the provisioner lol. Like cmon. I would be happy to do another run on the same save file but you have to give me SOMETHING to work with
>>740277698nvm i literally just found it in that exact room lmao, thank godalso fuck those guys, they're the hardest enemy in the game
>>740277651I missed the one in the room that has you going behind the windows
>>740277637>>740277714To be fair, I can't really think of any games that actually do add meaningful content to "NG+" type things. It's always just playing through the game but you're super overpowered right from the start. Like a victory lap after beating the game.
>>740272061it's not bad. the writing is pretty unexciting though, it's not even really trying to do much at all. I like the movement and the combat, hollowing is a good mechanic. It's just fine as a game, not spectacular, but competent. I'm not sure it should have taken so long to make honestly.
>>740277460>>740277714It says some of the later NG+2 +3 etc would have unique differences, some are just a boss rush I think for example
>>740277782Plenty of games do. Nioh 2 alters enemy placements and adds new gear. Like come the fuck on. 6 years. 20 people. GBC-tier visuals. I would have preferred a more beefy NG+ or a new area over the modifiers.
>>740277890>Nioh 2holy slop
>>740277884Oh wow you’re right, I’m reading about it now. It’s not super interesting stuff though, like they flip the world horizontally or randomize item locations. Oh well, one playthrough was good enough. Solid 7/10 for me
>>740272061Played the demo, and have given it 2 hours on steam. The game didn't really click with me, but seeing people complain about how unforgiving the game is online really makes me want to complete it without using any pussy mode settings.At the same time its kinda retarded these settings even exist in the first place, it just feels like the devs are betraying their own vision by including them.
>>740278056The difficulty curve is fucked; the early game is really hard but once you get past the first couple dungeons, it just keeps getting easier and easier and never really gets hard again.
did you know that you can hit the boomerang dagger back with your weapon, even in multiple directions?or that you can hit the big explosion of the Bounding Bombs with your weapon aswell?i know it's probably all explained in the in-game manual that i didn't read but it's fun to figure this stuff out when i'm already close to completing the game
>>740278113>did you know that you can hit the boomerang dagger back with your weapon, even in multiple directions?Yeah, but the damage it does after reflecting is pitiful, so as cool as it is it doesn't contribute much.>or that you can hit the big explosion of the Bounding Bombs with your weapon aswell?This one is news to me.
>>740278056I had less fun at first because it felt annoying. Once you get your bearings and some upgrades it becomes a very easy ride. Like it isn’t some kind of bragging rights game unless you play with the harder difficulty modifiers
>>740278195this might just be the hardest game of all time with all the modifier shit onotherwise it's a pretty chill time yeah
>zero investment into defence>uranium bracelet>no mist jar cheeseYyyyeeep, this is how the game was meant to be played alright.
my opinion on mina the hollower based on my first playthrough map
>Before playing the gameNo DLC? Yeah, Shovel Knight went on for too long, good call.>Beat the gameWhat do you fucking MEAN you're leaving it there?
>>740278364I feel like a mouse in a maze. Wait…
>>740278364>disgraced mouse only considers Ossex "about a 7 out of 10"
>>740278498there won't be DLC...?
>>740278364I like this review
>>740278498The ending and entire plot feels rushed and weird
some weapons have a function that is double bound to Square+X and R2can i disable the Square+X one? i just use that one accidentally when i want to quickly jump and attack and R2 works just fine
>>740275029For some reason only this tune stuck with me, find it hard to remember any other songshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfRIWFXIfHU
The Carving Man felt like a massive whiff. He’s not any bigger or scarier than any of the prior bosses you face and when he catches you all he does is throw you. Felt more annoying than anything running away from him.
>>740278573i think it would've been fine if you just got a different ending for either 100% or NG+
>almost done with New Game+>no new dialogue or cutscenes>no new enemies or bosses>no changes to enemy placement>no revised boss attack patterns or new attacks>no new items or trinkets exclusive to a harder difficulty>no new anythingWhat's the point, man. Yeah stuff does more damage but the level cap increases to 15, I've beaten every boss on my first try. I restored all the generators after four hours so it's going a lot faster, at least, but still. I was kind of hoping there'd be SOMETHING different, anything.
>>740278612There's an option in settings to have one or both enabled.
>>740278534But they're okay with a sequel. So>Shovel Knight 3D (in two years, honest, we PROMISE)>Mina 2: This Time It's Hollower (even later)Assuming we can trust them when they say SK3D is half-done and they've fixed the incompetence that made Mina take so long.(we can't)
>>740278612yes, it's in the options menu under weapon ability input>>740278643for me the tension for Carving Man came from knowing those kids were gonna get carv'd if I wasn't careful
>>740278681baaased! thanks
:(
>>740275990I just played it on my actual chinkshit handheld lol, too bad they released this game at a time where those barely exist in an official capacity except the switch sorta
>>740275270The fact that the game starts with an orphanage woke up my H game senses.
The fishing rod was a bold addition for sure.>can skip entire bayou, including bosshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pupRBnLR4KI
>>740277240Probably just were not able to scale up the difficulty of the movement trinket challenges in a way that felt good. Like the wallower's gloves are really straight forward for their one mandatory section. But do you think an actually 'hard' wallower sequence would be much fun?I'm going to bet they have dozens of challenge room layouts that just got scrapped because it wasn't good challenge.
>>740278364Moscow metro
>>740278573Incredible gall to end such a nothing story with a cliffhanger.
Pippit was better Has a better fanbase too
Skull says there's a secret here but I've already fished the fleeper and beaten the fish boss? Any ideas what it is? NG+ if that matters.
>>740278881>fishing rod worked on the frogand here I thought it was enemy exclusive
>>740272061Who cares, buy an ad faggot.
The directional attacks are really filtering me in this game.
>>740279019Your shelf of things is very empty.
>>740279019Gotta get all the fish, dummy, then you'll get the improved fishing rod.
>>740272061Lionel did nothing wrong
>>740279110>>740279130You guys are alright. Don't go to Ossex tomorrow.
>>740279169I’m still not sure what his plan was
>>740278938Yeah that makes sense. I really like the way Pipistrello stacks the powers for scaled up challenges but if all they had was air dash, wall dig, longer dig, ehhh it'd be hard to come up with interesting ways to combine those.
>>740279178Mina, you would disrupt the peaceful lives of the good people of Ossex? How very shameful.
>>740279358To abuse the power that came from spark generators at the expense of experimenting on others and poisoning the landscape.
>>740278938A good thing since the platforming already feels janky, trying to make platforming challenge rooms out of a weird zelda perspective is just asking for trouble.

>>740279002Pippit's game is a better ZeldalikeI'd say I liked both games about equally, but I actually bothered 100%ing Mina's in both completion and achievements so maybe I like hers more.
>>740279169>>740279358he wanted the towers to continue working so he could take advantage of the spark mutants. he already went spark X men and had the bosses as henchmen. butt the towers weren't towering so he got Mina on the phone. When Mina became too nosy he decided to dispatch herdespite mina being the only one capable of repairing the towers in the first place which would undermine his plans if he got rid of mina but by the end he was getting a tad bit desperate as Thorne (mina's husband) was slowly getting the upper handwhy did thorne's gang sequester the hollower girl anyway if he's on mina's side

Has anyone tried doing a run minimizing the amount of stuff Lionel calls you out on? I'm sure there's some stuff where no matter what you do he'll turn it against you, but I'm curious if the game will recognize you trying to do that.
>>740279973cats have barbed penisesbats have huge dicks relative to their size (20+% of their size)rat dicks are 5% of their size for comparisonThorne was never at risk of losing Mina
>>740280195>>740276617
>>740279825Because he didn't know him and Mina were on the same side for most of the game>Thorne sees Lionel's generators ruining everything outside of Ossex>sabotages the generators>Mina comes in repairing the generators>Thorne doesn't believe they need to be repaired to be shut down>didn't even believe that Mina might've been telling the truth until Lionel also told him that right before sparking him and destroying that trust>sees Mina fighting Lionel at the final, already-functional generator and at that point truly knows they're on the same side
>>740279809I'm torn. On the one hand UFO 50 was an experience. They weren't all gems, but I spent 260 hours on that fucking collection. Like a once in a generation type of game.Mina the Hollower is... good. Not great, but good. The gimmicks in each major area are fun and I appreciate the aggressive enemies and bosses. The boss from Astral Orrery is great. It's very polished overall, but I can't help but feel like something's missing.
>>740272775I still can't NOT see her with boobs in the mirror.
shamelessly stolen from a better call saul image but I couldn't help myself
>>740280361Mirror Mina is definitely not flat
How are you supposed to know what order to put the Meowstro cats in?
>spend 10 minutes looking for the blue eye room>finally find it and the loot>the blue eyes didn't disappear
>>740276617>mina accuses lionel of sending guards after her>all that talk about the generators and everything>nvm I wanna be friends, lionel :)Mina is not a very smart mouse
>>740281043The backrooms
>>740281043the only thing I'm missing for 100% completion is those damn cats, since I presume they hand you the one bonestone gem I'm missing
You ARE playing as Mina (forma de SSJ2) right anon??
>>740276617>a bunch of the belongings gone from Thorne's hideout>whole thing's up in embers>trident's laying in the corner, when it wasn't present at all in the normal endingLionel killed him and hid the evidence before Mina arrived, didn't he...
I really wish they just made the graphics SNES tier at least. GBC is such an ass aesthetic, even back in the day people only put up it with because it was portable.
>>740281419(forgot pic)
>get to the beach fight>realize the damn thing has been conscious the entire time
>>740281457Nah I love it, Links Awakening looks far more charming than lttp. I'm happy whenever a well-done Gameboy style game is done like void stranger. In fact I thought about void stranger a lot while playing mina, the spritework is similar I guess
>>740278678You were supposed to do the Second Quest, anon.
>adorable nerdy moth girl gets transformed into giant monster version of herself by generator>after fight is restored to health, color, and full sanity with a plasma vial>but not her original form>now she's a huge, powerful, and extra fluffy nerdy moth girl who's too big for her old clotheswtf I love Spark now, I bet Thorne would have chilled out way earlier if he knew he could have a giant monster mouse gf
>>740281705What's that
HOW THE FUCK DO I DEAL WITH THIS RETARDED FUCKING ROCKFISH
>>740279809You'll probably like it, not sure why you would compare this to a collection though. It's Shovel Knight But Capcom Zelda.
>>740281884The same way you deal with rocks
>>740281884Pick it up>But-I know. Pick it up
>>740277782I mean I kind of thought they would since the zelda oracle games have ng+ and this takes heavy inspiration from them and links awakening
>>740281457You're such a fucking shitter
>>740281790you forgot that part where she tries to kill you by pushing you into the pit
>>740281790Where do you find a moth girl? And is Beastium Mina the same as what a Sparked out Mina would have looked like? What even is Beastium?
>>740282230she didn't mean it, she's just a little clumsy is all>>740282231she's in the sewers after the Septemburg tower behind a 2 spark door
>>740282231in the well in Septemburg, there's a 2 spark door that you escort the moth through while she lights up the room and knocks you back.
>>740281790sparked thorne and beastium mina definitively go at it
>>740281972>>740281997I HAVE TRIED HOLLOWING UNDER THIS GORILLA NIGGER 50 TIMES I JUST KEEP TAKING DAMAGE WHAT IS THE SECRET
>>740281457For me, GBC doesn't scale up that well, the game looks like shit on any screen bigger than like, 10 inches.
>>740282463you can reduce the screen size in the settings, but they could have added a border so it isnt just pitch black
>>740272775Face too flat 2 b h
i managed to burrow past the guy blocking the music hall but i feel like that wasn't intended?!
>>740272061>see so many anons crying about this game being bullshit and unfair that I buy it>it's beyond easyWhat the actual fuck is wrong with people. It's like Silksong 2.0 where I'm convinced people only mash the attack button and then have a meltdown if they don't win. Right from the start I had mist gas and two trinkets that enhance vials, almost literally making me unkillable, and the advantages over everything else in the game just compounded from there.
>>740282704its intended
>>740272061Yep, it's gaming time.
Now we're fucking GAYMING
>>740282704If you can burrow past a guy, it's usually intended.
>>740279741Considering what happened to Mr. Captain, the other hollowers probably got axed many questions. That or they burrowed away to safety at the last minute.
>>740272949Did this actually bother people?I don't consider myself tough or anything but that didn't so much as make me flinch.It was more of a "wtf did I just see lol" followed by me trying to do it again to figure out if it was some secret.
>>740272801This game feels like dark souls 2, a lot of thought is put into design but 30% of the time the endgame of this design is to troll you
>>740282886Is the level 3 whip even worth using the "zap" thing by holding the button down? feels like I just do more damage spamming it than holding it to trigger the zap
>Yahtzee compares the Mirror to the Sonic 3 BarrelHow are these even the same?
>>740283161Both are bad game design.
>>740283161the goddamn platforms are very sonic 3 barrel-like
>>740283161>Only actual indication you can enter the mirror is a moment you can easily miss>Other NPCs do mention it offhandedly but still nothing concrete>An entire interaction with the mirror that is unrelated to entering itIt's incredibly misleading.
>>740281550I didn't realize the extent of what was going on until its eyes blanked out and the fisherman thanked me for putting it out of its misery. I feel like I kinda tricked myself into thinking this was gonna be like Shovel Knight where there were a few slightly dark jokes by the standards of an all-ages game, but Mina just gets full-on fucked up sometimes. >>740283129The zap is for when you only have time to safely swing once.
>>740272226Oh its one of that kind of games just like souls stuff. Was about to ask if its worth the price and how many hours it takes to beat but I don't want another "you didn't beat it unless you play under these certain rules and don't use this and that and..."I wish there were more normal action-adventure games.
>>740281705New Game+ isn't "Second Quest"? What are you talking about?
>>740283161The mirror is not that bad, it's just one of the many similar problems with the design. It doesn't detract from the experience, but makes you wonder why it's there in the first place. It's like no one playtested it before release, when a single patch could fix all of those minor issues
>>740283340>not spelling everything out for you is bad game designReally?It's supposed to be a fun mystery.
>>740276234The red bone birds are absolutely BS.I prefer the knight enemies in the graveyard over that bullshit.You have to stop what you're doing and engage them every time.
>>740282463Really wish it was on the Vita
>>740283494Sony had fucking gold and they squandered it.
>>740283406>>740283161You have to understand that modern gaming has focused so heavily on accessibility that games literally play themselves and are essentially movies.These people cannot even comprehend that games are supposed to involve a basic level of critical thinking and problem solving.They are why yellow paint exists and why you have shit like Dead Space giving you five different notifications to aim for limbs.
bros why were the mirrors such an obscure secrethow was I supposed to know?
how long is the game? is it as long as the GBC Zelda games?
>>740283564Not being retarded. You literally see a npc walking throught it in the manor and multiple npc mention people disappearing around mirrors.
>>740283253Noticed the same. Makes it kinda impossible to discuss the game online in normal fashion unless you play it "the correct way". Same as with soulsborne stuff like you said
How the fuck do I gain access to that deprived path or whatever in Mina's grave? I found 3 soldiers in the dream world idk if that had anythign to do with it. The path is still closed
>>74028363920-30 hours on a first blind playthrough.Game can be speedrun in under 4 hours according to the devs expectations.
>>740283564>>740283687Adding an interaction with the mirror that doesn't have anything to do with entering it is still misleading.
What are the sins I should be avoiding? I already took the presents from the orphans without thinking.
>>740283752that's a good run for the money, thanks anon
>>740283639100% took me 28 hours guideless. I'd guess 10-15 if you're just rushing the story.
>>740283764as a general guide, consider it from the angle of "if a gaming webcomic artist from 2007 could post a strip about how what I did as Mina would make her an asshole IRL, I probably shouldn't do it"
The point is that sometimes the mirror events just don’t trigger. There are some rooms with mirrors that I’m sure I entered, but the ghost did not appear somehow. I had to backtrack to meet the three mirror requirement.
>>740283968So no attacking people if able, give to the poor (something I have been doing) and just be an over all nice/generous person? Got it.
Yacht Club scientifically engineering the most annoying fucking enemy AI to ever be conceived in a game where you can only attack in 4 directions.
>>740284574get the blaster so you can use the melee mode as link's sword from LA
tfw breezed to 99% but too low IQ for 100%
>close to beating the game>hmmm I wonder if this is one of those fun games to get 100% achievements for, let me take a look a..>kill x enemies using y weapon when the sun is out but only half past noon while smoking a slushie up your ass and balancing three plates on your noseOhhhh okay, it's one of those.Yeah I'm good, just gonna beat it and move on then
>>740285068i think the feats are cool, they taught me a lot about the weapons and trinkets
>>740275447Shalom, vorefriend, and yes. But I also don't mind Mina getting vored, too
>>740283760No? You can interact with a thing in multiple ways. Why is this such a hard concept?
>>740283161They're absolutely the same, that was my first thought as well. They require interacting in a way that isn't used anywhere else in the game, and doesn't noticeably have any impact immediately so you end up thinking "well I've tried that now" and move on.
>>740285965>Get the same prompt as being near an NPC when you walk up to it>Enters an entire other thing where you look around and make faces with Mina>This has nothing to do with getting into the mirror>The initial release of the game expected you to walk into a solid surface for 3 seconds and expect something to happen when most good sense would tell you that walking into something and getting no feedback means that's not rightQuit pretending to be retarded.
Mina the blm you mean?
NG+ is an absolute motherfucker, everything hits so retardedly hard.
>>740286308even without modifiers?
>>740286254the mirror starts warping as soon as you walk into it, it's like the Minecraft ender portalidk was pretty obvious to me
>>740286254But you do get instant feedback from walking into the mirror, retard.
it says i reached 100% but i never found one trinket in Bone Beach and just bought it insteadthere's also a rope in Ossex i never figured out how to get to
>>740286234>doesn't noticeably have any impact immediately?
MINA IS A SERIAL KILLERTHAT BRAGGED ABOUT KILLING PEOPLE
>>740272226I'm using everything the game gives me except the trinket that increases damage on successive hits. That feels a bit too broken. I'm omw to the 2nd generator and so far the only mods I'm using is higher shop prices + slower level ups.
>>740286801Yahtzee is a fucking retard but was is this apparent with the launch or "review" copy of the game?
>>740287118That trinket is actually garbage because it seems to start you off at 0.5x damage, so you need like 4 hits to actually be benefiting. Maybe it was worse because I was using hammer though
>trinket: take less damage from falling and get a chance to bounce back>look inside>take a little less damage but twice I am going to become the joker
>>740283161He hates mina, it's over for us...
>>740287503You're supposed to redirect away from the pit on the bounce, retard.
>>740287503It's a little more useful than it sounds. The bounce back lets you get more distance.
>>740272226reminder that you are retarded
>>740287503that one is a must have you suck at precise jumping like me
>>740287397I'm using the hammer too. And yeah that is the main setback BUT if you don't miss, thats too much damage output imo. I dont want to melt bosses.Anyway did anyone end up selling the daggers for extra bones after finding them in the crypt ?
>>740287323Maybe not with the review copy, but even if it wasn't, at this point the complaint is completely redundant. I played the launch version of the game and the mirror definitely had an effect when walking into it.I played around with it at first, made some funny mouse faces at the mirror, then came to the conclusion that I could probably seamlessly walk through it because I'm not some burnt out middle-aged has-been.
>>740287323looking at my totally legit copy, probablyyyy
>>740281467Chester?
>try out the gun>it's the best melee weapon
>>740272061didnt know this game existed until now but Im about to buy and hop in. really liked shovel knight and all the dlcs for it so Im going to actually purchase this game instead of pirate which I havent done since silksong kek.
>>740274584but king is objectively the best ST campaign...
>>740275853the screen had its own quirks but it doesnt matter, all 2d pixel art looks better with crt effects simple as
any way I could get this to run on an android chinkheld? I could use my pc but i feel like it would be comfier on that...
>>740288815GameNative is apparently what you'd use, though I haven't tried it myself
>>740283760>>740286254You see one fucker walk into a mirror. Did you even read anon's post?
>>740288815>low-spec 2D gameEither GameNative or Gamehub (lite). I'm sure it'll run right out of the box.Your other option is to track down the Switch copy and run it via Eden.Any decent chinkheld should be able to do it.
I encountered the Dugin but I left the screen to heal and it's not there anymore. Can I not fight this thing anymore?
>>740291043comes back eventually, not sure what triggers the respawn but it was many hours until i saw it again
>>740291087Were the kids trying to catch it there too?
>>740291206yea
Literally just finished the game. Holy PEAK. Probably wont be my GOTY at the end of the year but its pretty up there, no complains at all with the game.
To all Thornefags:Mina loves elven menRegards, Anon
You're a hero... and you have to leave.
mina spelled backwards is kino
>>740292456a n i mNo, I don't think that works.
>>740292456Holy shit he's right
>mina can carry boulders and a grown ass man 3 times her size with ease and throw him like a pebblewhat the fuck is she eating
>>740292517your right. i may br dyslexic
>>740292609Cheese.
>>740292687lactose tolerant mouse
>>740292794>it's a lot smaller than I imagined...
Dick move.
>>740282737See unfortunately these people have conflated strategy with cheating. If you are use any kind of thought into making your build functional beyond pressing the attack button repeatedly you apparently aren't playing the game right. People genuienly think this.
>>740293253*Of out hot eat the food you get what I was trying to say
>>740283340Mirrors exists not only to be a dungeon itself, but mainly another means of fast travel.The game mentions several times about entering mirrors. If you pick up on that, you're the reason yellow paint exist.
>wasted 1250 bones on keys that ended up being basically worthless>lost 1000 bones to the fucking asshole knight in front of the crypts REEEEE IM JUST 2 HOURS IN AND FUCKING RAGING ALREADYwhere am I *supposed* to go next after the initial town/thorn fight?
>>740283226If a light bulb doesn't go off in your head the moment you see the random ass mirror in a side-room in the first dungeon you are literally too fucking stupid to live.
Is there any hope they will revamp the subweapon system? It's fucking terrible. I have no idea what they were thinking with it. It would be far better off as permanent unlockables you can swap between at any time.

>>740293465read the newspaper nigga
>>740293545
Is the hammer too slow to activate bubble ring ? Hope I didn't drop 3K on this for nothin'...>t. hammer only playthrough
>>740272842Buy an ad
>>740293513seriously this is my one complaint, it makes no fucking sense.
>lost 1200 boneslosing your sub weapon on death is fucking horse shitFUCK THIS GAME AHHHHH
>>740293624Stronger hits charge it faster so I think hammer is actually one of the better weapons for it. That said I didn't find that trinket as useful as I hoped I would.
>the bones are their money
>>740293465if you're too retarded to kill a knight just did past him loser.
>>740293959You can make it so you keep it later in game, keep playing
i remember anons in a previous thread said that if you entered something as your file name, you could unlock a hidden option to change mina's in-game dialogue portraitare there any other secrets like this that you lads have discovered over time? just curious
>>740294053MFer hits for half my health bar and I HAD to fight him the second time to get my spark back with no sub weapon fuck you nigger
>>740294105What's the name?
>>740294105There is a whole list of names that change stuff in the game.
>>740294174you're right just found it ty>>740294162CH&PORT
>>740294139just dig past him you literal pussy. jesus christ who cares about your spark.
This shit is just Silksong all over again, barring progress behind insufferable enemy gauntlets and platforming sections because wasting your fucking time is good game design apparently.
>>740294551skill issue
>>740294551>game requires you to have a pulse and get slightly good to progressand thats why both games are great. Its amazing how many NPCs exist who literally want games to be interactive movies.
>>740294551brother can't handle skill checks lmao
>>740294551>This shit is just Silksong all over againThis isn't an insult.
>>740283253>>740283707It isn't but these people gravitate to any game that puts up even the slightest challegr. Any game can be challenging if you refuse to push half the buttons.
>>740294632>Skill check: good>Skill check after 5 already solved screens of juuuuuuuust challenging enough enemies and platforming sections as to not be easily breezed past: badThe reason old games had this was because they were short fucking games that needed the challenge to lengthen the game, Silksong and Mina are long as fuck and it just inevitably leads to player exhaustion.
>>740283253>im not gonna play the game because some strangers online might tell me I didnt actually beat it
>>740293465Out of the city and to the right, I just look up walkthrough after I finish an area, there is clearly an order to them, Im not going to wonder around only to find high-level area that I have to leave
>>740294919instead of whining to strangers, just overcome this very mild challenge that this video game is presenting you, you insufferable pussy
>lost a shit ton of bonesnot sure if I have the will to continue....
>>740294986Dunno why I even bothered to take your post seriously, should've just called you a tranny and moved on.
>>740295046>wahhh game too hard, you're all trannies if you disagreegreat stuff, anon. stellar.
>>740295029You lost less bones than you need to level up. One thing I like about this game is that you are forced to kill regular enemies and they actually drop currency, in silksong I was just running past through enemies
>>740295029I had 30k spare bones at end game and I died 200 times (mostly to secret bosses and the finale).It literally doesnt matter man.
>>740294919>Mina is long as fuckYou can beat it in less than 4 hours
>>740295029
Shazam, New Game+ is done. First playthrough, 28 hours because I was collecting shit. Second playthrough - 5 hours and 2 minutes. And I never lost my bones, so that puts me at 31/50. I could probably get a few more, but I'm getting bored of it now.
>>740293494First dungeon, yes that's excusable. Second, that's when your eyebrows should be rising.
>>740280686>>740279940>>740286994Lionel is the type of guy i want to see against Columbo.
>>740293494Not even then. If you aren't clued in the second you see the mirror at an inaccesible room in Ossex with a shortcut rope right next to it and the NPC's below in the same room talking about the mirror then you are braindead.
>>740272061Play a real game
>>740293960Yeah I see now. It just takes a lot more hits to generate than I was expecting.
best track?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SupV0qwdnfQ
>>740283226the news paper spells it out clearly if you were a retard and missed it like me.
This entire area is such dogshit.
>>740278056>really makes me want to complete it without using any pussy mode settingsbetter yet, enable veteran modeI truly believe this is how the game is meant to be played. Deaths have severe consequences, you either play good or get btfo.
>>740296978https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJvO3daMGHENot even a contest. Tower Climb is good but Ori and the Blind Forest's Ginso Tree Escape music set a high bar for that kind of level.>>740297073Pit sweat
>>740297073you ever play dark souls 1 up to the crystal area?just use your lessons from that mate.
>>740283226>>An entire interaction with the mirror that is unrelated to entering itThis is the part that stumped me. I thought maybe looking atit from a certain angle would do the trick. I found about the mirror by complete accident because I wanted to run away from some spider
>>740296978https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBDIq8DxoBk
>>740289019it felt like a cutscene
>>740296978Wtf is this gay version? But honestly the music was mostly forgettable compared to Shovel Knight. I think the only song I remember is the Orrey one which ain't bad.
>>740297331mad?
>>740297236Yup only thing I had to check online. I clearly knew that you could enter the mirrors but since it takes a couple of seconds I never figured out how to do it.
>>740296479Mina = real game for gamers and furries
>>740297073It takes like three minutes tops to get through and you can just watch where the drops hit the titles, come on, man.>>740297106My favorite's probably the Astral Orrery, including the boss theme.
Im having fun
Nina with a human male? How would that go, Hmm. Probably a tough fight.
>>740272061Mina is my girlfriend
>>740273826What type of fetish?
>he didn't get to NG+7you didn't beat the game
>>740272061Someone draw her drowning, I heard she don't swim too good.
so much of my audience has left twitter at this point that the only genre of mina posts im getting is shillposts, artwork, and people just posting the most blatant spoilers ever, no creativity in their posts. its dire bro. the art is lovely though.
>>740297842You better play perfect then. No damage.
>>740273071Hey, I was just trolling. Mina is great.MechWarrior 5 kinda blows but I enjoy it too.I have 32 hours in the Brigador Killers demo and am debating buying the early access on itch.io even though I never do this sort of shit.
>>740298734is brigador killers just a sequel to brigador or is it vastly different?
>>740298484>so much of my audienceYou draw?I do wonder where all twatter people went to.It's amazing how one guy could fuck up such a decent platform.
>>740298469This game isn't fun enough to play through seven fucking times.
>>740272313I've been playing on a crt but anything you can straight pump 720p/1080p etc into isn't going to give you your beloved scanlines without extra workThe photo's in focus, the tube is just too low TVL to resolve a 720p signal properly because BVMs are clearly the peak of CRT technology (beaten by literally all consumer monitors past the year 2000 in specs)You're better off with a good oled if you can, and since they're all 4k you can have your cake and eat it too with fake scanlines. I'm only doing it because it means I can have a good image while playing the game in bed but that's an extremely unique and stupid usecase.Your options are 1. Have a good CRT monitor, have the game on PC, have a good way of getting a latency free analog signal from it and on top of that are alright with letterboxing, 2. Have an HD CRT TV and are happy with no scanlines and input lag, or 3. Deal with a fuckton of nonsense to downscale the image to 480i/240p so you can play it on a more standard CRT TV, again still with letterboxing, and for all this work you could have plugged it into the 4k oled you probably have and/or could have afforded for the average price of an HD CRT even though they're worthless in reality and have an equal if not better experience
>>740297073That room with the giant swinging hammer and the enemy that guards it against subweapons cemented the fact that every room in this game wasn't designed with the intent to be fun or engaging to traverse but annoyingly frustrating and slow. I've booted the game up three times and played it for quite a bit but I swear my urge to boot it up again gets cut in half after every session due to just annoying game design like this.
>>740298947>such a decent platform.I can't believe we are doing pre-buyout Twitter nostalgia. Twitter always sucked donkey dick. Well, maybe not always, but definitely for years before Musk acquired it. And it was always a terrible art repository. Scrolling through through a line of images 1 by 1 pisses me off. In this regard, Twitter actually became better since the media tab now shows a bunch of images and videos in a grid. It's not perfect since there are no titles and it not obvious what's an individual image and what's a set, but it's better than wearing down my scroll wheel. And I also don't like it when artists use their account both as a gallery and to talk about random shit I don't care about.
>>740298947>decent platformtwitter was never good
>>740272061Septemburg was kino. I’m hooked now.
>>740299731>twitter has always suckedMaybe for you. I can't relate to that at all. Pre-buyout twitter was the sickest place to hang out. Now everything is split up.
>>740272061I really like the nonlinearity. excited to play the randomizer mode after getting through.
>>740299796I've only done crypt and still working on bayou atm. Bayou is really cool though.
so which starting weapon is generally considered best? I went flail but Im starting to think knives might have been better since theyre quick and better short range and you can use sub weapons for ranged attacks anyway
>>740299868>nonlinearitythe amount of times i've thought "must have to come back later" and i actually didnt is really crazy
>>740299340>crt for a gameboy color gamelol
>>740300012Flail.The other weapons in their starting form are fairly mediocre but get much better with upgrades. Flail suffers from the inverse problem, it's pretty good at first but the upgrades are kinda meh.
>>740300030It’s almost a metroidbrainia.
>>740300012I'd say ease of use is whip > hammer > daggers, performance probably hammer > daggers > whipOpinions seem all over the place though so it probably comes down to what feels best to you
>>740300260That term is never catching on, people have already started settling on Meta Puzzles since it applies more to the player gaining meta knowledge.
>>740300153It's retarded, but anything's better than the switch 2 LCD and I already had this set up for more reasonable things anyway. I wouldn't go out of my way to do it otherwise
>/v/ suddenly loves black lives matterWhat the fuck happened?
>>740283161He's stupid, if you couldn't tell.
>>740297842I'm fuckin your girlfriend dude!
Whatever you fucking do, this modifier should always be on.
>>740301232If you are some filtered casual, sure.
>>740300012The best starting weapon is 2000 bones for the blaster. Who's idea was it to make the range weapon also one of the best melees as well as being able to aim in 8 directions? They added links sword, made it do as much damage as a whip strike and let it spam range attacks for more burst damage than anything else in the game
>>740300997>NOOOO STOP ENJOYING VIDEOGAMES EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS MUH LEFT KIKE VS RIGHT KIKEyou're as dumb as a nigger, unironically
>>740301232If you have hand spasms, maybe.
>>740301232>walk on pitsKek, I haven’t even peeked at the cheat menu.
Is there a way to unlock the Mina portrait accessories without the code?
Dusty old bones, full of green dust...
SoThorne: Spark is too dangerous. It needs to be stopped NOW, even if the fallout won't be without consequences, we need to minimize the harm as much as possible. Mina: The fallout from destroying the spark towers is too dangerous and will cause too much harm. If we are to move away from spark, it must be done properly. Lionel: The consequences be damned, we can't stand in the way of progress! The harms of spark might be real, but we can learn to manage it, and who cares if people are trampled upon along the way.Did I get that about right?
best new game I have played since silksong. I guess the top tier indie devs are the only people making worthwhile shit anymore.
>>740299340>>740272313 #>I've been playing on a crt but anything you can straight pump 720p/1080p etc into isn't going to give you your beloved scanlines without extra workIf you scale the screen size down and set the pixel scale to 1x you can get it perfect. Looks glorious.
>>740301876'Bout right.
>>740301876I can't believe Mina is a centrist
>>740275090Mina's bits... erotic...
>>740301825kek
>>740301682No, you are the nigger, as you support a nigger loving developer, nigger lover.
>>740300997I dunno I pirated it.
>>740299340Fucking Hell this looks so good.
Back back to shitposting about the mirror, unc. That at least catches a few rookies.
I 100%d the game completely blind. On my own. Without hints. But now that I'm soon to start my third playthrough. What in the world determines Dugin's spawn? Is it really just random or something? Feels random.
>>740301876This nuclear reactor powering the city is leaky.>We need to blow it the FUCK up IMMEDIATELY.>We should shut it down properly despite it taking more time.>Let them eat radiation we can just invent a cure for cancer later.
>>740302768>>740301876I guess one of Thorne's big concerns was that he thought Lionel's opposition would make it impossible to shut down the towers properly.
>>740302768One might see why Mina is a somewhat stern individual.
>>740302626Yahtzee spoiled the mirror for me so I can’t tell if it’s bad or not. Several NPCs have hinted at it though.
>>740278967Mousecow
>>740279741Rhene is my wife. I hope she is ok.
>>740298484Your fault for being on there in the first place>>740299731>>740299793People being nostalgic isn’t a testament to pre-buyout twitter being good, but just how bad musk’s twitter is. I will wax on about how great it is cause it was so much better then
>>740301232Which modifiers lock feats/achievements? Don't wanna turn those on, but I did see one where the whip essentially tuns into a grappling hook if used mid air and it hits a wall.
>>740303650>but just how bad musk’s twitter isIs it, though? I've only ever used Twitter for porn, so I genuinely have no idea.
>>740303716the game will warn you first if you turn on a mod that locks feats.
>>740303716There's a menu section of mods that don't disable feats. But if it doesn't turn your modifier box red, it's allowed.
What is spark and why towers make monsters? Towers were built for lionels specifications so did he know? Did mina know? What was the deal with mutants? Why was there need to destroy the towers if they were offline? Why mina turned them on just to turn them off?
studying WITH MOUSE GIRLS!!!!
I really like the storytelling. you just get thrown in and some people know you, but they don't endlessly spout exposition at you.
>>740303883>>740303926Oh cool, let's see what we go->all the allowed ones make the game harder>grapple whip is not included>hell, it's not in the weird categoryOh... oh well then. Just turned on the "Jump to exit Burrow"
>>740298469Same with Ds which soft caps for enemy increase at +7
>>740283129That's the level three whip?I got it after fighting some knight in the manor gardens in some chestI never bought an upgrade and I can still buy some whip "upgrade" (downgrade?) at the weapon shop. Should I not do that?
>>740304203The towers weren't offline, they were malfunctioning.>Why mina turned them on just to turn them offYou can't just flip a switch to turn off what amounts to a power plant. You need to take precautions to make sure nothing ends up exploding.
>>740300260I mean it feels like one. I've been doing the intended path (crypt into bayou) and i can see lots of ways to access other areas if I chose to.I just prefer to follow the main path in games.
>>740287538He's a retard who has become total dad gamer where the only good games are ones that play themselves and refuse to challenge his 40+ year old senile ass. Also he needs a podcast going instead of in game music. All the time.
>>740272226Only modifiers I used were the ones that showed the numbers indicating damage
>>740288612It's a big step down from shovel knight thoughever
>>740273859What happened here?
>>740305402Doever it's not howbeit
frog fucker
>>740288815I played it on my Logitech G Cloud via steamlink; game ran on my PC and I played it on my handheld. Tbh it was comfy AF and basically the switch version for free.
>>740304867The upgrades are just new abilities and don't affect the weapon stats. You can get them out of order, I only had the 2nd upgrade for the buster for a long time before finding the 1st one.
>>740274163Fat fucking guinea pig
>>740283161They both filter absolute retards.Except this is even easier than the barrel because the mirror thing is mentioned in the in-game newspapers.
I fucking LOVE games that have fast travel. But at fixed locations. And different kinds of fast travel systems connect to different places. As opposed to being able to go from anywhere to anywhere. The mirrors. The train. The creepy shadow merchant caves. Love it!
>>740283764It's funny that it occurred to me to not take these but I felt like it would most likely be of no consequence especially once they started giving me bones and it was near the start of the game where it felt like a not insignificant amount. But I did feel kinda bad doing it. But being mechanically rewarded for it made me think it was intended.Same with a few other things I won't spoil
>>740305402I disagree, both are very fun but mina mogs it. especially if we are just comparing base games
>>740283226>>Only actual indication you can enter the mirror is a moment you can easily missIs the NPC entering the mirror actually easily missed? Isn't the only way to miss it, to enter the mirror before the event triggers? At which point you don't even need the hint anymore.
>>740286254Is there a jumpscare with the mirror? I'm really afraid to go into first person view with her after the bullshit darkness thing. I actually haven't played the game since the darkness one / enemy on the back.
>>740305909>Is the NPC entering the mirror actually easily missed?There's no real reason to go into the manor for the rest of the game unless you're fighting the lion guard for the nightstar upgrade. Besides the newspapers outright tell you even if you do miss it.
what happens if you pay the bone thief 1000 to get his body back?
>>740305909But Mina doesn't say>"Huh, was it my imagination? I thoguht I saw someone walk through the mirror. I wonder if I can do that... maybe if I walk into the mirror for 3 seconds with the directional pad, something might happen. Should I give that a try?"so it wasn't very obvious.
>>740291897Fallout 1 had such good voice acting.>>740291879Why is Link in the game>>740292456Anime is kino
>>740305609the barrel was legitimately bullshit.
>tfw found out about the mirrors because the controls suck so much ass and I was fumbling trying to find the interact key while walking towards oneLmao
>>740305992Gives you the Bell of Grace which reduces the bone penalty on sparkless death by half.
>>740293465You're already going the right way. The crypts are the easiest area. But I had to go through a harder area to get there.
>>740306028The camera also needs to pan to the mirror and Mina won't leave the room until you do it.
>>740293513>>740293707It's a bizarre holdover from older classic Castlevania that doesn't really fit in a game like this
>>740305658What are the dark green lines that go to Caldera?
>>740294139Here's an idea. You can go get a sub weapon first before fighting him.Just because you died there doesn't mean you need to beeline straight back to him. Also if you level up you get your spark back too.
>>740294551Silksong is like. At least 5x if not 10x harder than this cute little game.I can't imagine how your first two or three hours in bloodborne went if this is too hard for you.
>>740294919Yeah games should just reset you right before the jump if you miss it.You would like vvvvvv very much. It never puts you back more than one screen, there's checkpoints every 10 steps.Maybe you'd like to try Mina with emulator save states? That should do it for you. Pirate the switch version and use save states there.
I started Lego Batman and Mina around the same time and it's ridiculous how much more fun I am getting out of the latter. I'm booting up a game for interactivity and dopamine, not a 3 hour prologue with endless cutscenes and learning how to jump. Oldschool gameplay just tosses you in there and at least to some point challenges you (not that I would defend video games as a super high art).
>>740306229yeah I feel like a retard now that I understand how easy it is to beat those knights
>>740305973>There's no real reason to go into the manor for the rest of the gameIt has the underlab. And right beneath the entrance is the axe. If you get the axe you might as well use the underlab above it. Also. If you ever try to cross the chasm next to Elizabeth, that underlab is likely where you'd respec for the jump. Likewise whenever you'd try to beat your jump record for the possum outside of the entrance. Or if you'd want to chat with Lionel after having restored a new spark tower. I entered his office every chapter of the game.
>>740305992He becomes a real boy.
Just found out that apparently YC said they're not gonna do any DLC stuff for Mina?Seems like a waste given how much they did for Shovel Knight.They even left some big openings to do stuff. The newspaper and credits both mention some untamed wild west area. Thorne's island base is also mentioned in the paper and seen briefly in the post-credits. And there's a whole thing mentioning Goddred as the previous owner of the manor and his daughter Evra being the strongest optional boss feels like it was meant to tease something more could be planned there.
>>740306750I'm still torn on whether to get Lego Batman because on one hand I'm starving for more BamHam but on the other I really really do not care for the Batman movies which the game seems to be all about.
>>740306872to be fair the game has a shit ton of content already, just as much as the entire treasure trove.speaking of which when the FUCK are we getting silksong dlc
Feel like a barely scratched the surface of this game yet. How can I finish the 2nd generator and only have 7% trophies ? Sussy hollower...
>>740285068>actually likes achievements that are just "beat level one beat level two etc"Achievements should encourage you to do things you wouldn't normally do while 100%ing the game.
>>740306872Mina was always a side project turned studio saver in desperation, YCG never wanted Mina to be anything more than a side note in their portfolio, and so far she's not selling billions like Shovel Knight did to force them into making more due to the money it'd bring.
>>740306872Them spending over a decade just making FREE dlc for shovel knight was the entire reason why Mina became all or nothing. It doesn't make any sense at all from a business perspective to keep supporting a game like that.
>>740306872It just means they aren't committed to it like Shovel knight,
>>740306458The Caldera mage guild can (eventually) teleport you to the dunmer temples the green lines connect to. And you can use a special item to teleport back to the Caldera mage guild.
>>740306965>24 hours, Sorry anon, I think you might just be bad at video games.
chuds lost
>>740306965The trophies are mostly difficult or obtuse things rather than "Punch something really hard! (land a crit)"
>>740307169I am bad at games. If bad = taking my time + being about average skill level.
It's gonna take me forever to try all of these run modifiers but if nothing else at least the game seems extremely replayable.>>740306872They at least said they'd like to do a sequel, so hopefully some of that will be explored then. I get why they're not doing a DLC plan like Shovel Knight's though, as other anons said they spent almost a decade making basically three and a half new games that they gave out to anyone who bought the game in the first few years (most of the playerbase) without seeing a dime from it. It bought a fuckload of goodwill from me but it's not exactly a sound business strategy.
>>740307169According to the newest newspaper stats I have;Time - 24:07:12Deaths - 56Bones found - 29378Bones lost - 9227Heals - 170Jumps - 12763Conversations - 352That last number is kinda baffling. I am a yapper apparantly.
>>740301825Fuck off Ross.
>>740307217chuds always lost
Mina is kind of cool. Inventing ways to harness spark and shit.
>>740307717I thought I was pretty thorough on My first playthrough. Final stats on the save were Time: 20:06:46Death: 81Bones found: 170421bones lost: 1856jumps: 37766conversations: 856I don't see a heals stat in the newspaper.
>>740307217it's fine, my love for mouse women outweighs my disdain for nigs
>>740308361Don't post mina while speaking with such a foul mouth anon
>>740308430whatever MOM
>>740306965Because the majority of the achievements are "do this random specific thing that you wouldn't normally do"
why is mina being manhandled so much in this game bro...
>>740273319>>740274163>>740274365>>740274416Sex with fat mouse women.
>>740308997She likes it.
>>740309264Specifically sex with fat mouse bellybuttons
>>740309360she hasn't said so...npcs gotta stop being so handsy
I want the mouse to manhandle me....https://litter.catbox.moe/wz5dbx.jpg
>>740272061The AIfag should come back and make another one of these
