>perfect blend of Zelda 2, Castlevania III, Dark Souls, and Zelda>zero wokeshit whatsoever>only $20What's the catch?
>>740297347She doesn't have sex with the human male.
>>740297347The catch is it's a female protagonist, so one of the major "subtexts" of the story is Mina having to choose between which man she wants to fuck.
>>740297347>What's the catch?worst aspects of Zelda 2, Castlevania III, Dark Souls, and Zelda blended together into 10 hour game
>>740297347>What's the catch?that it looks like absolute diarrhea for your eyes
>>740297951>that it looks like absolute diarrhea for your eyesholy fuck get your eyes checked
Sponsor thread
>>740297902It's not even close to being 10 hours short you fucking poser. If you're not actually going to play games fuck off to the gooner gatcha threads, your opinion is genuinely worthless.
>>740297347The catch is that you can't discuss it here because v doesn't play games and just says the inane shit above. Just pick it up, enjoy and have a good time instead of being here.
>>740297347>>zero wokeshitFoid protag, faggot
>blm devs
summer games fest in a few hours
>zero wokeshit whatsoeverDevs literally are huge BLM supporters and theres plenty of evidence available online
>>740298570>>740298831>can't separate the creator from the product>you are x therefore everything you do or make is tainted typical leftist tactic
>>740298920blm devs/blm game ;/
>>740298920???aren't leftists chill people who would support blm tho ?
BLM
>>740298981They love to post here and force outrage to defend games they want to claim for their own.
>>740297347No raytracing. No voice acting. No tutorials or yellow paint.
I hate niggers but I cant imagine being such a brainrotted polcel fucking retard that id skip a genuinely really good game because one of the devs is a leftist
>>740297902>10 hoursThe only people you're trying to fool are other chuds who also haven't played it.
>>740297347Zelda 2 if it was good.
Mina the BLM Donator. Like its devs.
>>740298831one day nuance will come in full swing and arguments like these won't matter anymore. Until then, shut up and just play the fucking game. Pirate it for all I care, quit wasting your time being this irrational angry faggot on your social media webpage
>>740300715blm shitmina can't be art because video games aren't art
>>740298920>>740300715>can't separate the creator from the productIs it really so difficult for you midwits to understand that I simply dont want to give money to people who use that money to put criminals back on the streets?>just pirate itNo.
>Mina The Hollower>perfectstopped reading right there
>>740297347It is not a perfect blend, it's not even a blend, it's just lifted mechanics poorly sprinkled on top of a lower echelon top down Zelda. They probably delayed it to add all the upgrades and trinkets that basically patch out their terrible fucking decisions and make it playable a couple of bosses deep.
>>740298330>>740300431There's an achievement for beating it in under four
>>740302084A speedrun achievement. That doesn't say much.
>>740297347>What's the catch?it's furryshit
>>740302084silksong has one for beating the game in under 5 and nobody would say that's a short game
>>740297347>Zero wokeshit>Just lectures about mouse racismNo thanks I'll skip it.
>>740297902It took me 3 hours to get to the bat. For someone used to triple A games this should be 30-40 hours (much less if you use a guide)
>>740298920 >YOU CAN SEPERARATE WATER FROM WET AND HOT FROM BEING HEATED CHUDSure, retard. An artist has absolutely no influence over their art. After all, artists just conjure "content" as you faggots call it, from the pure ether. Everybody knows all art in existence is built into the fabric of reality and artists are simply those that undertake the task of going into the art mines to toil for hours to dig out the art from the earth. In fact, artists just LOVE it when you ignore who they are, and act like tgey had absolutely zero vearing on the final state of a piece of art. All the "work" they did, especially for video ganes? They're just pretending. Programmers aren't even real, they're demons that are gay mind raping you goyttle into jerking off to nigger cuck porn because some bug person from Jaoan made it.Just fucking admit you're not that upset about BLM nogs and their supoorters, nor do you care enough to not support their games and message. Its not that hard. You're not on Reddit, nobody gives a shit about you, or your opinions, or your purchases. Theres no need to hide behind a gay fucking mask of post irony, you're not Sam Hyde for fucks sake.
>>740302795>is that racism that I will forget within the next few sec and post it on social media >losing my fuck mind reeeee!Shovel user are racism against the king.
100%'d it. Decent enough game. Hope it gets expansions of sorts like Shovel Knight did.
>>740302856No one is beating Mina in 3 hours unless they are already highly experienced with the game and blasting through everything as quick as possible
>>740298330>>740300431>>740302856Elden Ring has advertised as 60 hours normal playthroughI've beat it in 19 with all major locations explored
>>740304250fuck off lying poser faggot. Post clears
>>740303825I think they were waiting to see how well it did. Hopefully they either have some stuff leftover they wanted to add, QoL stuff, etc.
Game took me about 35 hours to 100%, with last few items checked on the online map.Only one was genuinely bullshit. Think it was Volatile Beastium, you have to ride a specific train line and go talk to the random dude hanging between carts.
>>740303004>You're not on Reddit, nobody gives a shit about you, or your opinions, or your purchasesapparently you care immensely considering you're still shitting up this thread. consider therapy or suicide
>>740304679>>740303825Are you talking about feats or just game completion? If you are talking about game completion, fuck off, no one gives a shit that you sat there and scoured for every item, get all the feats like 4 hour clear, -1% completion, no items purchased, and completion with hard modifiers
>>740304593
>>740305101>no time played>no proof it's your first time playing and you had no other experience>no other clearsfuck off retarded subhuman. people notoriously underestimate how long they've played a game or just act like certain hours "don't count"
>>740303004Absolutely fucking shitter-shattered
>>740305337I have 57 hours across two playthroughs and second one is much longer because it was stupid two-handed katana build that I kept dying on everything.Despite that I still beat the game TWICE in 57 hours>YOU MUST POST CLEARS>here killed god with time spent on a run>NO THAT DOESN'T COUNT, Y-YOU PLAYED DS3, DS2 AND DS, THAT'S CHEATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>740305786>57 hours played>despite more experience, second playthrough somehow took twice as long>barely even half the achievements>probably looked up OP cheese builds and summonedyeah, just a shitter trying to larp and exaggerate the truth. Kys
>>740303004Can't tell if this anon is a chud or not
>>740297347they donated to blm in the past
>>740306031Seems like a retard regardless.
>>740305879>NOOOOOOOOOOOO, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT GAME FAST, IT'S LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE, YOU NEED TO POST COMPLETE PLAYTHROUGH AND THEM PROOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT WAS YOUR FIRST RUN>REEEEEEEEEE, IF YOU DIDN'T 100% ELDEN RING IT DOESN'T COUNT AS FINISHING IT>AND IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYWAY BECAUSE YOU CHEESED IT BY USING WEAPONS AND LEVEL UP INSTEAD BEATING IT WITH HANDS LVL 1
>>740306059I'm not skipping out on 2026's most kino furry game cause some rightoids are crying about it
>>740297347It looks like a gameboy game.
>>740302084And factorio has one for beating it under 8Go beat factorio in 7 hours total
>>740298920I don't give money to people who want to replace me with 3rd world niggers.
>>740297347The game is shit
>>740297538refunded
>>740306409Im left but a racist
>>740306578Did you play it?
>>740306645Tf ? How that work bro...
>>740297769mina is pretty clearly the type of autist who is more or less asexual
>>740306272Yes, you were a shitter being extremely disingenuous, if not outright lying. Very common for shitter to act like a game took way shorter time to beat than reality.
>>740297347no indieslop is worth my money
are all the poppet stores near ossex? I can't find the third one and I've looked everywhere around there
>>740306802it's common sense
>>740307221Yeah, they each are in a different zone directly adjacent to ossex.
>>740302084I thought the game was going to be short because I saw that achievement when I started playing, but in retrospect that is going to be hell to try and get. The checkpoints can be brutal. If you die near one, it's not so bad. If you die close to the next checkpoint you can literally be losing 10-15 minutes. None of the hard shit you would die to is right after a checkpoint, it's always right before. I'm at like 50 deaths with 4 towers completed and 13 hours in, a speedrun in under 4 hours would require me to have died like less than 3 times to be on pace while having an ideal build for going fast, skipping loads of enemies and thus a lot of currency since enemies are blocking loot, and knowing the map like the back of your hand. The full game would probably need to be deathless. Neither Hollow Knight nor Silksong's speedrun achievements are that strict.
>>740307615shut up retard
>>740307672>get assblasted to high heaven>s..shut up r...r...retard!
Are you forced into NG+ on beating the final boss or can I do that and then finish 100%ing?
the speed run achievement is clearly for NG+ when you know exactly where to go and what to do and have all your weapon upgrades, health upgrades, and trinkets. I got 100% collection and it took me 30ish hours to finish.
rato sexo
>>740297347>oh lol a grave that I can climb into to teleport somewhere>just like muh dork souls>FUCK ALL YOUR HEALTH AND GIVE ME YOUR BONESthanks
>>740307871Beating the final boss finishes the game, but going back to the same save spawns your right before the final fight, and I think you can go do whatever you want from there. There's also a fancy semi-hidden bathroom right before the very end that lets you smash a tub, which opens a tube to near entrance of the manor.
>>740307314ok racist (lefty edition)
>>740308156we like to be called the racist leftor even the enlightened left
>>740307615can you reload your save or does it have forced autosave? t. bought but have yet to start
>>740308074Only point where I lost my bones on the run, lol. Taught me that the sparks that you use to open doors stay there. That said, kinda funky that it's the only place in the game behind such doors that you can get in danger.
>>740306876yeah it would be extremely valid if I didn't show you exactly how much time, 19 hours, it took me to beat the game
>>740298920Yup, I'm using a leftist tactic against leftist devs, thus I am pirating their game since I do not agree with their values.Cope, seethe and dilate. Mina fucks human men btw.
>>740297347what if her name was Mina the Swallower and she ate enemies whole and got fat
>>740308254It autosaves every time you move to a new screen.
>>740300715>nuanceThat shit’s never coming back bro, we’ll be lucky if the average person can understand things at surface level in 10 years.
>>740303825I think someone said they won't be making DLC for Mina, but they might make a sequel.
>>740308798Vorefags really need to kill tehmselves already.
>>740308798nigga thats kirby
>>740306832She walks around with no pants on, she's canonically an exhibitionist.
>>740309417I like to think the nudity is like Thorne's wings. It just sort of appears when they have no clothes on even if they technically shouldn't cover or replace the native parts.
HOLY SHIT FUCK THIS STUPID ASS SECTION
>>740309219Adding onto this, they didn't rule out DLC entirely, here's what they said>D’Angelo isn’t taking DLC off the table entirely, and does clarify that the team has some quality-of-life updates planned as well as a randomizer mode. “But like, we’ve literally never talked about [major DLC] or thought about it. And like, the game is huge and big. I don’t even know, we’d have to really figure out even how to add something to it.”>However, D’Angelo does say that Yacht Club is keen on spending more time with Mina. So while he’s not announcing anything at the moment, yes, the team has talked about a potential sequel. A lot.>“We’ve got pretty clear ideas, and we’ve put hints in Mina about where it could go a little bit. No one’s going to pick those up. But if we did make Mina 2, it’d be like, ‘Oh, they put that in there on purpose, right?’ But, yeah. In a couple weeks, we’ll find out how everyone’s feeling about everything, but my guess is everyone will want to take a break from Mina. But that said, we think of Mina like Shovel Knight. It’s a tentpole game of our studio that we [want to] keep going.”
>>740298831>huge BLM supportersYeah, such huge supporters that they donated some pocket change 6 years ago and have not spoken a single word about it since then.
>item shop guy reaches out and drags me into his shop>also keeps sticking his hand out and waving at meis that a scripted way to tell you to upgrade your shit because I keep dying or does he just do that?
>>740309836the ghost hitting you won't make you drop the head. Just letting it hit me and focusing on the platforming is how I completed it
>>740297347>no wokeshitmina was raped. that what you mean ?
>>740297347>What's the catch?Souls slop. I'm tired of constant dodging, it's not fun.
>>740309836Well fuck, looks like I missed this part.
>>740309943I never had this happen a single time
>>740309836its mostly for a shortcut anyways, technically more than one
>>740309953Uhhh... yeah the fuck it does make you drop the head, and it also knocks you back too, usually instantly into the water.
>>740297347The lack of woke is the catch I want her to kiss a female cat
>>740309943im pretty sure I've had him grab me when I have very little money, he's just an asshole
>>740309876Even if they don't make a DLC for it, I'd kill for some modding tools. The Sidearms and Trinkets have great potential to let you build your own dungeons.
>cute mouse wife>even cuter fox maid wifeYet another game where the main character is upstaged by a minor side character. Sad!
>>740298535incels will literally make up terminology like this and think it makes them sound cool
>>740297347It simply just looks plain ugly.Doesn't matter what Indie devs think, GB aesthetics never looked good and that will never change.
Is it possible to do a run where lionel can't berate you for your actions at the dinner party the only thing I can think of that isn't optional is leaving the ship captain at the beginning of the game
>le uglywe heard you the last 10 threads you said it
>>740310350Yes.
>>740310350Yes https://youtu.be/hD7NrlFNsOI
>>740298831>and theres plenty of evidence available onlineIt's literally on their website, imbecile.old.yachtclubgames.com/2020/06/black-lives-matter/
>>740305337Concession accepted
game looks good but I still don't know why they didn't make pixels locked to the screen resolution they were drawn at by default
>>740310350Yeah, and apparently there's another ending for it. https://youtu.be/hD7NrlFNsOI?si=xgnLBqhctOuQnsaX
Am I fucking retarded and missing something or does the game really fucking expect you to go hunting for specific subweapons out in the wild to solve puzzles? Can I just pick the one I want from a list somewhere safe?
>>740310350>the only thing I can think of that isn't optional is leaving the ship captain at the beginning of the gameyou just have to talk to him until you exhaust his dialogue before you leave
>>740310427You guys are so retarded, you attack each other while agreeing.
Yet it's still true every time.
>>740310525it is usually just the usual gap jump thing (can be the shield, parasol, bike, etc)later you get the ability to save a single subweapon to the underlab to use at any time, and any that you unlock get added to those orbs that switch the weapons
>>740310525usually the item you need for a puzzle is hidden nearbyyou also eventually unlock trinkets that can more or less do the job of the mobility based sidearmsyou also unlock the ability to save subweapons in your lab but that's usually going to be taken up by a fishing rod
>>740297347>What's the catch?keep in mind I haven’t even beaten the first dungeon yet, but it sometimes feels like mina doesn’t move as fast as the enemies, even when burrowing
>>740310525>does the game really fucking expect you to go hunting for specific subweapons out in the wild to solve puzzles?yes, but there's not many places where you have to do this, thankfullymaybe like 2 or 3 spots each for the air dash thing, the axe, and the bike
This game has made /vpol/ seethe for an entire week so yeah I'm thinking it's GOTY, shame about the furniggers though.
>>740310658>the axeThere are other ways to handle most of those cases.
>>740310745I'm thinking mostly of the few times where you have to break a chest on the other side of a burrow barrier, using a sub weaponI guess some others would work but the axe is the first one that comes to mind
>>740310525with the exception of like 1 gap, a lot of things can be cleared with trinkets like the wall burrow and air dash
>>740310640That's a good thing
>>740310165oh shit lol. Maybe I was dropping it and catching it. Either way, thats how I did it
>>740310787It really sucks that you can't switch between side arms.
fishing rod should have just been a permanent upgrade instead of a sub weapon
>>740310787You can also use the trinket that allows you to attack with a shockwave when you burrow. Pretty sure it works on all instances except one.
>>740310876probably. I always get filtered by slow controls for some reason
>>740310827>air dashWhen do you get this? I missed so many fucking trinkets.
>hammer is coded such that the roll doesn't let you fall into pits>meanwhile the pushback on knife swings does push you into pitsmake it make sense
>>740310525so few chests actually require that, I can only think of like 3 and they are all solved with the axe (which is just outside of town).there are some spots that require crossing a large gap and there are multiple trinkets, and even a weapon upgrade that lets you do that.you really just want the wall ride thingy found just before septemberg or the purple bat trinket that lets you fall slow, that one is in a hidden shop just beyond the lower right corner of townif you use the wall ride + the trinket that lets you chain burrowing without needing to land, you can just cheese an platforming section
>>740310975you can get it fairly early, you have to find a red ghost guy near ossex and beat him in a race 3 times
>>740310975there's a fucking air dash??That would have been so usefulI've only just now started using the sidearms for that functionality and I already beat the game lol
>>740310976I think daggers are the weakest weapon in the entire game, especially without the ramping damage trinketits kind of funny how fast that combo will melt a boss, but for regular enemies and exploring, they suck.
>>740311150It's actually meh. You can't use also sidearms if you've used it during a jump and it's only 1 tile long.
>>740311045Oh. I've beaten him twice: one in the town, and the other time west of town. Do you remember where is the third one?
>>740297347>What's the catch?You mean the mouse trap?
>>740311145problem is those billionaires and corpos increase quality of life through innovation and all those tax dollars blown on healthcare and education are mostly stolen through fraud and abused by trannies and retards that go to the doc for everything
>>740311273south, near the start of bone beachit's a higher level area so you will have to get through some tougher enemies on the way and annoying invisible path cave
>>740298535a female MC is not inherently woke you fucking retard >metroid on NES is... le woke
>>740297347Looks like utter dogshit
>>740311362Thanks, I'll try finding it tomorrow.>annoying invisible path caveFuck.
>>740311150Parasol and drill give you longer jump, plus there's a trinkey for it. It's not really needed outside of a few secrets
>>740298535I’d rather have a foid protagonist than a troon or non binary
rupert im sorry I didnt understand what I was supposed to do I assumed you were already dead the moment you fell in
>>740297347Reminder that if you>equipped any trinkets>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
>>740298535ironically while mina looked woke at first, it is unwokethe dwarf people kept saying was male? was actually a woman, female dwarves just also have beardseveryone calling mina a girl boss? she gets humiliated and chased away at the endand she bags a bat husband at the end instead of being a lesbian
>>740311520Using sidearms is literally how you get -1% chud
>>740311282>problem is those billionaires and corpos increase quality of life through innovationLMAO>some bad people abuse social welfare so we should not help anyone and give all the tax dollars to kikes insteadwhen did polcels become identical to fox news boomers?
I hate 2D platforming with a burning pasion bros I hate it I hate it I HATE IT I HATE IT HATE HATE HATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
>>740311616this area was absolute fucking cancer but I havent found anything as annoying as that yet
>>740311616The platforming gets much worse/harder. The combat is actually kinda easy if you don't gimp/restrict yourself because you can basically just facetank enemies, but the platforming is always a baseline level of difficulty and there are only a few trinkets that make it very slightly easier.Because falling in a pit sends you back, it really doesn't matter how much HP or stats you have
>>740311572>he's an achievementcuck
>>740306543for the base gamein the expansion it is 40
>>740311508>oh, he wants help across? maybe there's some mechanic to the ice i'm not getting>guess i'll try again when he comes back>...he's coming back, right?
>>740311728Coltrane, the astral area, and the manor all have way harder platforming
Did it sell enough to save the devs, or is it their swan's song?t. pirated the GoG version but I think I'll purchase it since I enjoy it
devs are trans and blacked
>>740311910Who fucking cares honestly, they probably all hate you by default if you post on this website, so their future is of no importance to me.
>>740297347It's barely Zelda at all besides the aesthetic you dumb fag
>>740311596I'm all for the things you propose in theory but to accomplish it you'd have to lock down the country, create an ethnostate with shared values and ethics and you'd have to increase birthrates massively through mandated breeding camps to ensure an exponential supply of new bodies to keep funding all of it.You don't have the balls to do this so your leftist ideology falls flat every time in the real world we live in.
>>740311910sold like 300,000 in 3 days so enough that they aren't going bankrupt
>>740298330I've beaten it in 13 hours. It's definitely possible for a first playthrough to be 10 or under
>>740311871>fail to save him>rest and come back>oh his cousin did the same thing haha>rest and come back>oh his cousin did the same thing again haha>assume it's just a bit>never come back
>>740311616It just takes a liiiiiittttleee bit of timing and a litttleee bit of patience, trust.
Yep, I’m thinking treespam would be a great look for my indie masterpiece
>>740297347>Ooh le vague no direction get lost it's for le adventure slopAbout the worst thing. Play with a guide = kill the difficulty.
>>740302795You do know Mina's game and Mouse Detective game are not the same, right? It's kind of obvious to anyone with eyes.
>lose spark to boss>re-enter boss room>spark isn't theredo I actually have to beat the boss within X sparks to not lose my bones?fuck
>>740312382That or bone up, which restores your sparks.
>>740311910it did fine, not amazingthey didnt make enough to rest on their laurels and make free shit for like a decade that's for sure
>>740312382if an enemy touches your spark ball during your death animation, they absorb it and you do have to beat it to get your spark back
>>740312027and how is that right wing ideology working out right now?
>>740312382There's a trinket that lets you hit enemies and bosses that are holding your sparks to get them back instantly, I forget where though. Either wya, you should be able to see how many sparks the boss can hold by their health bar. As logn as you have more sparks than they can hold, you'll be fine.
>>740304961NTA but I'm doing a no items bought run and it's annoying that the shopkeeper keeps grabbing me and insisting I purchase something. Fuck off, Big Business
>>740312480>they didnt make enough to rest on their laurels and make free shit for like a decade that's for sureThat's actually a good thing.
>>740312360there is a literal newspaper telling you exactly where to go next at all times.
>>740312382just bone up my nigga
>>740304961suck my dick faggot>nooo if you didn't beat the game in 5 minutes with zero items and without killing that guy then you didn't actually finish it!!!i hope someone gets into your house and rapes you
>>740311424wait metroid is female?
Motherfuckers ITT really want my ass to rush through this game after waiting several years. Nigga I don't wanna finish this game until 3 weeks from now minimum.
>>740307221If by third one, you mean the west one, then maybe check the forge west of town
>>740310258autism fox
>>740311910I'm convinced that was just some shit they said to get publicity for their game. They knew people would be asking for an actual new Shovel Knight and they wanted to get eyes on Minaor maybe they do suck with moneyit's been years and their SK cash pile wasn't going to last forever and I'm sure all the spinoffs didn't make anything
>>740312672You're not running out of content anytime soon, NG+ basically gives you its own challenge modes per loop. Along with the talks of implementing an in-game randomizer, you will literally be able to play Mina until you die.
>>740312672It's meant to be replayed, there's a bunch of NG+, randomizers, modifiers, low % etc
they really havent made ANYTHING else since shovel knight? wtf is wrong with these indie devs sitting on their ass forever
>>740298330Half the anons are third-worlders too poor to afford modern gaming, all they do is "play" gacha on their phones. Simply look at /vg/, it's 98% gacha. Sad times we live in.
>>740312751what does hammer lady even do
>>740312382It's more unforgiving in the beginning, but soon you will have so many spark slots it doesn't even matter since enemies usually only have 1-2 slots to take your spark.Also you can just spend it at shops or levelup before you lose them
wtf happen to the furry gaming thread ?
15 hours in, just beat my third dungeonmy only complaint is how much it feels like I'm just out-rpging enemies rather than outsmarting them. at the start of the game I had to be really careful not to get hit, but now I'm already at a point where I can basically just kill most enemies before they kill me while playing sloppily and getting hit, and I already have 10 potions which is more than enough to last me from one checkpoint to the next even while playing so sloppy. but also just feels like sometimes not getting his isn't really an option.anyway, I wish the game would just do away with the damage and defense upgrades und scale like a normal action game where everything is baseline balanced. Like I discovered Goddreds grave and it was clearly not just a skill check but also a stat check as I did little damage to him and he hit me for 70% of my health.still, the amount of creativity and cool things to discover is amazing, so I'm having a blast anyway
>>740298920>can't separate the creator from the productThis is forbidden knowledge, but the product funds the creator.Don't tell anyone.
>>740310258More trouble than she's worth with all those bombs she sweeps up
>>740312803they haven't made anything since shovel knight since they've made nothing but shovel knight since shovel knight. including the expansions for plague knight, king knight, and specter knight which are comparable to shovel knight in terms of gameplay. they wanted to go above and beyond for king and specter knight and make it more than just shovel knight with a new moveset but it took a lot of dev time.
>>740312752>maybe they do suck with moneyThey really do. Moved their office to extremely high rent area, purchased tons of useless expansive stuff, etc.At some point they were forced to sell some of their junk like a top tier barbecue on Craiglist.
>>740312867>I can basically just kill most enemies before they kill me while playing sloppily and getting hit>I already have 10 potions which is more than enough to last me from one checkpoint to the next even while playing so sloppyTurn on the modifiers for 1.5x damage, fewer i-frames, and less plasma, enemies will still be dangerous all the way into endgame
Alright how the fuck does this knife throw to kill a boss achievement work? What does it mean “across the room”? Like off screen? Why can fit just tell you how many tiles like they did with the fucking stones sidearm one?
>>740311520the whip is the strongest weapon
>>740310258I will now play your game
>>740313000that's cool and maybe I'll do that, but basically it shouldn't be my responsibility to balance the game in the devs place
>>740312604>and it was also the night that the skeletons came to life
>>740312867Combat gets a bit easier as you kinda outscale enemies, platforming gets harder for sure though. Also the game has a bunch of modifiers, NG+, low% so there is ways to make combat much harder. Bayou and Septemburg were probably the easiest areas for me
>>740312774>>740312780I'm not worried about that. But yeah I don't speedrun games like /v/anons do. Especially not the game I'm most looking forward to in 2026. I'm gonna take my time on first playthrough AND replay it.
>>740311520>slower bone upcompletely meaningless in a game where you can farm an unlimited amount of them.
>>740297347>What's the catch?furfaggotry
>>740313009It can't kill bosses in three hits
>Get game>Pick hammer>Realize all too late that I picked the worst weapon in the game>Didn't have fun>Urge to cheat infinite bones to bypass mistake>Opt for refund instead.Meh. Do not put a heavy weapon in the game if it's unviable compared to literally everything else.
>>740313225no one is forcing you to farm anon. you control the buttons you press
>>740313267If you think the hammer is bad that's just a skill issue, it has the highest DPS in the game and the slowness because a non-issue when you know how to position yourself and jump out of the endlag
>>740313267hammer is literally top tier, you're just bad at the game
>>740313267you couldve just played for an hour and bought one of the other weapons in the starting town.
>>740313267I hated the game at first with the daggers then I picked the whip and have loved it ever since
>>740313408ITS A FLAIL NOT A WHIP
>>740313004I think it's 8 tiles.
>>740313225NTA. That is a good point, but I don't go out of my way to farm bones. They have to come from fighting enemies in the way of where I'm going. Backtracking included.>t. first playthrough using slower boneup + higher shop prices
>>740313267>>Realize all too late that I picked the worst weapon in the gameYou didn't bring up the daggers though???
>>740313267Hammer is the best weapon, but it has a high skill floor if you're still new to the game. You can get a new weapon easily after the first boss, so you're not stuck with it.
>>740312672>>740313159When people enjoy games they typically play them, on account of them being fun. This isn't even a long game either. A single playthrough is easily a one week affair. We're well past the point of finishing the game being considered a speedrun. Do you watch movies in five minute chunks throughout the month too? Go take care of your kids, weirdo.
>>740312567Eh, couldn't figure out where to go, and opted to play SMTVengence over Mina. I'd rather raise monsters and deal status effects.>Plus 2D Zelda ripoff games, much like 2D Zelda games - are trash.
>>740313267Hammer is pretty good. Just swing as you exit from your burrow to kill everything in one hit. It having a big ass arc hitbox makes it even more forgiving if you just run circles clockwise against bosses
Wanted to tell you guys that you can’t apply hard or weird modifiers at the end of the game to get the achievements where you finish at least three. Apparently you gotta go through the whole fucking game again with those on. Man, bullshit.
why are almost all of the weapon upgrades useless. like no I don't actually have time to peform the hammer follow up. no I don't have time to swing the whip around. no I don't have time to charge up a knife throw.the only upgrade that's been useful so far is the tipper on the whip
do they ever explain exactly what a hollower is?
>>740313267Stop rolling with it, start burrowing more.
>>740313517>man what the fuck the game doesn't have an obvious exploit that allows me to completely bypass the whole challenge? fucking bullshitno shit... why the fuck would you think doing the final 1% of the game with the modifiers would mean you beat the game with them?
>>740313603da manualel
>>740313550>I don't actually have time to peform the hammer follow upThe hammer followup is for killing mobs that just barely survive your first swing>I don't have time to swing the whip aroundThe whip swing is basically a novelty, the real upgrade is the aftershock attack you get from holding the button briefly>I don't have time to charge up a knife throwCharging the knife throw doesn't impede your movement in any way
>>740313517>achievement tard thinks it's bullshit he isn't handed the achievements for free by tricking the gamehow can you be this pathetic.
>>740313662Should have added that in the actual game world by talking to NPCs instead because hollowers and the guild kinda comes out of nowhere otherwise
>>740313506nta but its bold of you to say 'we' when there are multiple anons enjoying it in the same manner. you take too much pride in beating things fast.
>>740313550Dash attack on the daggers is kino. Range for a short range weapon, gap closer, multi-directional, bounceback on contact. It's like half of the weapon's potential.
>>740312382You don't lose your bones until you lose all your sparks
I would rather play with enemies dealing 3x damage than just making things cost more, that's like the most boring way to make something harder
>>740313359Correct. Had a skill issue and couldn't be bothered to struggle.>>740313367Correct. Never said I wasn't, hence why I refunded it.>>740313369>A fucking hour.I got out as soon as I could. Thorne beat me 9 times outside the manor and I kinda just dropped the game after I figured out it wasn't going to get easier without cheating. Not for me. Not for an hour of bullshit.>>740313408Everyone seems to have fun with the whip. I was too stupid to pick it.>>740313486Needed to refund before I got stuck with something I didn't smile once while playing.
I kinda hate that the game puts your deaths in the newspaper.Kinda discourages me from just fighting something till I win.
>>740313869it makes decisions of what to buy and when feel more important
>>740297347Anyone do a sinless run yet? im about to start mine
>>740313869Bones stop being relevant after you've activated your 5th generator so higher prices keeps them a meaningful reward
>>740313891>I got out as soon as I could. Thorne beat me 9 times outside the manor and I kinda just dropped the game after I figured out it wasn't going to get easier without cheating. Not for me. Not for an hour of bullshit.literally before or after the thorne fight you could enter the blacksmith (the red building) and got another weaponyou were already there so you only have yourself to blame
>>740313946no it doesn't since resources aren't limited
>>740313267Hammer tips, many obvious, but if you say it's the worst weapon in the game then you need these tips>Dodge roll has i-frames, but doesn't go far. It should only be used when you know something is zipping by you, or to specifically reposition yourself in a more favourable position to strike.>Dodge roll also can't roll you into pits.>The charged strike can be charged mid-air. Charge it immediately after exiting a burrow to minimize your downtime when charging.>The follow-up attack upgrade makes timing multiple charged attacks difficult. Jump right after a charged strike to remove that inconsistency>The swing of a charged strike hits not just airborne enemies, but anything. Charged strike horizontally when a boss or enemy is above you to have a wider hitbox against them>Follow up a charged strike with a regular swing. It's weak, but that adds up when you need to get an extra piece of damage in.>Stop committing to the charges attack. If it's not working out, just swing it and burrow away ASAPOr just switch to the blaster. That shit's OP with the attack combo trinket.
>>740314006>here is my objective take on a subjective experience
>>740314006If you want to go through the tedium of grinding instead of just working with what you get from playing normally that's on you
>>740314006if you are a bot of a person who actually farms souls in souls games then yeah I guess it doesnt matter
I've been playing basically the entire game (on the final area now) without subweapons. How much have I been gimping myself?
>>740298981BLM is a scam for racists who try to pretend they aren't actually racist. Anyway, the game is great, the devs can blees money into whatever scam they want as long as they make good games.

>>740312774>NG+ goes up to 8>they really expect you to play through the entire game 8 times with slightly higher numbers each timewhat is this, Diablo?
>>740314165only a handful of them actually do good damage compared to spamming melee to be honest
>>740312846she's there to get slammed by mina
>>740301906Didn't Trump literally do that as soon as he took office?
>>740313267You need to kill the kraken to get the trinket for the hammer to be great from the start or else you will be stuck two shotting every monsters for quite awhile and that puts the hammer around the same level as the other weapons. Once you are one shotting everything (including bigger monsters) and enemies can't do anything against you and you are deleting bosses in just a few swings that is when the hammer gets better than every other weapon. Not to mention it has a long reach so you are pretty safe unless you are fighting against fast enemies in really tight spaces and there are no ways to cheese them
>>740310525You're supposed to be upgrading your underlab at the guild to have more sidearms on standby
>>740314290You really don't. I started with whip on my Below Zero run then restarted for hammer because whip gave enemies time to fight back.
Very good game, but the early game is kinda clunkyThey hide the fun gameplay behind trinkets and upgrades
>>740304250https://howlongtobeat.com/game/68151You used a guide.
>>740314478What’s the max number of collectibles you can get in a below zero run? Like three?

>>740314719because I didn't play NG+ there eitherlol
>>740314787>rollslopyour dodging tool is a 1 second delayed maneuver. that's not at all the same as "memorize attack timings and press dodge at the right time". the entire game's combat dynamic is completely different since everything is designed to telegraph its attacks in an honest manner (no bullshit arbitrary 6 second delays) and the dodge is mostly used as a positioning tool, not something you use to actively iframe through attacks. The game is not roll slop, and you're just a disingenuous piece of shit.

>>740315153gotta figure out a way to bring a snowball down from the peak to the old man. path is near where the horse guy is if you find him, it also helps to clear the enemies beforehand and then don't go to an underlab so they don't respawn.>>740315228you get a (shitty) trinket

>>740313723An anon who supposedly "waited several years" for his "most anticipated game of 2026" is just being performative and has other shit going on. If I made either of those claims for any piece of media I'd be engaging with them on day one. We're more than a week past release and people who were actually hyped for the game are playing the game. To claim that people who have finished by now just rushed through is bullshit. A normal playthrough is never going to be a month long affair, even to 100%. If it somehow is, the better question is how that person found their way here in the first place.

What game started the "land hits to earn your heals" thing? Probably some older game where you earned MP for hitting enemies? Or is it a variation on the idea of hitting enemies until they drop health pickups?I really liked it in Lies of P and Hollow Knight, I'm not sure if I love this implementation of it.

>>740315826female dwarves having beards is a long-running joke, zoomie
>>740315653My main problem with it is that you can't store yellow health by default (you need a trinket)So if you get hit you can't heal right away with stored health, you have to farm it firstThis is specially harsh in platforming sections, since there's nothing to lifesteal and you don't get pity yellow health for falling unlike hollow knightAt least the fishrod helps a lot if there's fish

>>740297347>furry kino
>>740297347For me, it's the main mechanic is too complicated to be fun. It's overly complicated for a game that wants to be a callback to GBC games.
>>740315293There shouldn't be anything mandatory that oneshots you. If you try to get cheeky and bring a trinket to the final boss though, you'll have to either sell enough roses to get oneshot or sell off your plasma vials, neither of which is worth any trinket you could bring imo.

>>740317275I heard savant was mid
>>740317212I mean those are whatever, dont know what the hell you are referencing.

Zelda 2 doesn't even give you any reason to engage with enemies and you can just fairy right past them.>Castlevania subweapons without anything that made the Castlevania subweapons good to useCombat subweapons shine with some upgrades to be useful, but are solid, they just aren't constantly spammable and trivialize the whole game like in Castlevania>Souls-like combat and flasks and bloodborne rally system that just feel kind of bad at the beginning but feel absolutely trivial unless you are doing a challenge based runThis doesn't even make sense at all. Feels kind of bad in the beginning but feel absolutely trivial unless you are doing some kind of challenge run? What? Healing requires aggression and it makes platforming harder because you can't just muscle through it without engaging with enemies too. >most by the numbers story you have ever seen, which is fine if the above wasnt also trueThe story is decent, considering it's not meant to be the focus at all. It's definitely not by the numbers and the segment where Lionel betrays is an interesting twist and it's pretty funny all the villagers coming up trying to blame you as the villain, and Mina trying to get back with Thorne in the end. Also there is a secret ending if you don't commit any of those actions the villagers mention. >music not half as good as shovel knightIt's the exact same composer for 95% of the soundtrack. Manami Matsumae only did two tracks in Shovel Knight, just like Yuzo Koshiro did two tracks in Mina. Both are pretty solid. >game wants to be fairly open which means the potential for puzzles are massively restrictive as wellWhat? Just because the game is open in terms of dungeon order doesn't mean you can just bypass right over puzzles..You just sound like you're spewing random bullshit to complain
Shouldn't have fallen for the shills saying it's like zelda but it's still a 7/10. Combat is good but it's held back by the dev's retro fetish, half the enemies have jump attacks that double their hitboxes. Almost no puzzles, everything is just combat and platforming, but almost all the platforming is made for the base moveset so if you use any sidearm of trinket it becomes trivial. The puzzles that are there are just about carrying things from 2 screens away.
Is there an alternate route to Coltrane without buying a train?
>>740317105>please, PLEASE, I must find ANYTHING to bitch and moan about!!half of these don't even fucking make sense and make me wonder if you've even played the game or are just shitposting for the sake of it
>>740297347>>What's the catch?>browser games used to be free >you can play Zelda 2, Castlevania III, Dark Souls, and Zelda for free>it went from free to 20 dollarinos
>>740318536Nope. Bone up, pal.
>>740318536not without modifiers no
>>740303825Western devs really got allergic to cuteness havent they?They cant help themselves, they just have to add nasolabial folds and wrinkles...Heres a quick edit
>>740318536You can swim under the waterfall north of the the bridge before the graveyard I think. Never tried it in a fresh run but I think it would work.
Mina thinkin' about cheese...
>>740318675well mina is a hag (30+) so it fits
>>740315147every popular new game gets generals for a while, newfaggot retard.
>>740315147Can you also post this in the Deltarune generals and the Claude AI generalsat least be consistent with your bitching
Am I just underleveled or is the final boss hard as fuck? Is there a second phase? I can't even beat the first phase
>>740297347>Nearly a full GB in size for a GBC styled gameHow? Shouldn't every sprite barely be over a Kilobyte? The music is chiptune too, that shouldn't require being an uncompressed wav. This game should, at most, be 100MB
>>740318906It's really easy. What weapon and trinkets are you using?
>>740318691You still need to unlock the rope from the other side so even though you can get to this screen you can't actually get into the rest of the area without the train.
>>740318913music is streamed files, not midi. it takes 85% of the filesize
740318913bait or actually retardedcall it
>>740318729>lashes#NotMyMina
>>740318913>How are you fitting 10,000 songs into that tiny piece of plastic you inserted into the computer? Shouldn't it take up an entire storage room of vinyl records?that's what you sound like
>>740319120correct, it's a superior Mina with girl pp because Snao
>>740318961I actually just beat him, although it took me like 30 minutes. I think it's because you actually have to look at his moves instead of just mashing and brute forcing like I've been doing all game.I was using the nightstar, the atk+, def+, red fly, spark revive, and ooze trinkets. Atk is 8, Def is 9, subweapon is 7
>>740298920I can separate the art from the artist, but I will not financially support the artist.
The platforming in this game is shit so I just use the life preserver item. Now the game feels completely trivial because it relied on obnoxious platforming
>>740318675Mina is an old lady but she's still got it
>>740319204>obnoxious platformingskill issue, unironicallyI never really had problems with the platforming
>>740318573>>740318634>>740318962Cool, just making sure it's a required purchase
>>740318964Genuinely evil, the music isn't using a single soundfont that isn't recreatable through a more efficient file type.
>play game>enemies move REALLY fast from the get goam I supposed to re-position with burrowing or did I unironically miss the roll button? I thought only the hammer allows you to roll
>>740318962I completely forgot about that rope. That's a shame, I planned to use that route if a ever replayed the game.
>>740319391I'll just go back to playing shovel knight which is a far superior platformer thanks
>>740319553you jump to dodge instead, burrow is only for some moves
>>740319618If you could play Shovel Knight without issues, you shouldn't have a problem with Mina's platforming. It's way easier.
>>740319656ty
>>740319553don't use the burrow like a dark souls roll, it's not meant to be used that way, hence the long start-up on itjust move and jump to position yourself, don't rely on burrowing for everything
>>740302084>bro you can beat Ocarina of Time in less than 1 minute lol GAME IS SHORT LMAO>ok just ignore that that's a speedrunYou're either braindead niggertarded or a massive bad faith faggot. Kill yourself either way.
KVNO...
>>740319553I too made the mistake of thinking combat was a matter of getting up in their face and dodge rolling (digging) to avoid but it's really more Castlevania-like in how it's more about positioning and spacing yourself to stay in ranges where you'll never need to split-second dodge.
>>740319967>the Super Metroid reference with him absorbing the Spark beam and shielding Mina from itI stood up and clapped and pissed and shidded and cummed it was fucking KINO
>>740320068>>740319656>>740319715Dark Souls has ruined an entire generation of gamers who have now lost the ability of actual spacing and positioning. Fuck even Monster Hunter has now just turned into rollslop
>>740297538Fpbp
>>740319553Take it slow and go on the defensive at first. You can't sit in an enemy's face and immediately dodge when they attack. Space them out. You can bulldoze later.
>>740319967Corrupted Thorne... erotic...
>>740317105>the initial villain is good, your initially ally is evil, the game remembers all the actions you did and references these specific actions against you when you get betrayed, the initial villain comes back mid-fight to help you against the final boss (in actual gameplay), and the game ends with the entire town turning on you and you being exiledif that is "the most by the numbers story you have ever seen" then what the fuck isn't?Mind you, this is not even a story-focused game, it's basically like Metroid or Zelda or Castlevania.
>>740318740>>740319362Mina isn't old, she's a young woman
Are there modifications you can only unlock after beating the game ? I'm wondering since there is a tab that's completely empty.
did you guys buy this on Switch 2?
>>740320773yes you unlock a ton more modifiers after beating the game
>>740320787nah, PCI always buy multiplats on PC whenever possible, just for convenience and mods
>>740320843Goty... *sniffle*
Its a good year for furry gamers.MinaP.I. Mouse detectiveWild assault pve mode and portsFor the king 2 furry dlcLola and wolfie in fortnitePseudoregalia dev triple confirmed to be working on a new gameThat mysterious soulslike sequel to F.I.S.TMany other things im arbitrarily not gonna listWe eating good
Why didn't this game get as popular as Silksong, another darling indie game from a reputable studio with a female protagonist?If anything it feels like this game flopped and was largely ignored.
>>740297347>Female character>No eyelashes>"Zero wokeshit.Dooooubt.
>>740320130Are you retarded or something? Until elden ring, the most effective way of fighting in souls games was spacing out attacks and punishing them without even bothering to rollThat you aren't even mentioning all the bamham-esque games with magnetic combat that completely takes spacing out the equation shows just how brown and low iq you are
>>740321357>uh actually this way of playing that 99.99% of people don't play like is actually the most effective!nobody cares about your opinion
>>740321351>AHHH THIS CHARACTER DOESN'T HAVE EYELASHES OR A PINK BOW OR FAT TITS HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW IT'S FEMALEcoomer moment
Do you think they'll keep the GBC aesthetic in a sequel? Hate to say it, but I feel like it may put a lot of people off and harmed sales, since only millenials and older are nostalgic for GBC. I think that's the biggest contributor to the game under performing.
>>740321438You can give her two bows, actually
>>740321451You're right, (((anonymous))). We need the next Mina game to be photorealistic UE5 slop to make it appeal to the lowest common denominator.
>>74032142399% of people are normies who sat back and chugged while their summons beat the boss, you shouldn't regard them either
>>740321451They said they weren't working on any dlc for mina. Its already complete. Did they say that about shovel knight ?
>>740321563Well good thing my post was talking about those 99% of people otherwise I wouldn't be fucking talking about them now would I?
>>740304961>and completion with hard modifiersHow soon do you need to turn on modifiers? I turned veteran mode after the kraken fight, not knowing about the option till after the fight (but I was still in the first area. Didn't reach the town yet).
>>740321298I was as excited for this game as silksong. Actually might like Mina slightly more.
>>740321298I'm kinda surprised by the numbers. I thought it'd hit at least 20k easily on Steam. But whatever. I am enjoying Mina far more than silksong, tho.
>>740316601>eaten by the earthCome on now we're not implying the four elements are different types are we?
>Why didn't this game get as popular as Silksong, another darling indie game from a reputable studio with a female protagonist?>If anything it feels like this game flopped and was largely ignored.
>>740321573>it's already completethere's a bunch of randomizer modifiers that are currently exclusive to a beta branch so it's not complete yet
I would like the tower repair segments a lot more if you werent awkwardly dragged up the whole time
>>740320480nta but you can quickly piece things together just from two encounters with Thorne. Just from my playthrough>Immediately clock that Lionel is the villain. Get a bit sceptical just because of how obvious it is that he might actually be.>Find NPC talking about how Thorne didn't hurt anyone in the intro attack, immediately clock that he's actually an anti-hero>Spark generator being located in the Manor makes it obvious Lionel is going to be the final bossThe only thing I didn't see coming was Thorne being warped into a big creature and helping you in the final fight. The game had characters like Maxi who just disappear with no big fanfare, so I wasn't expecting Thorne to actually return.This isn't a knock against the game, a straightforward story is good. But let's not kid ourselves when pretty much every Let's Play I've seen locked in on Lionel being the villain just from the orphanage scene.
>>740321438>Eyelashes are as egregious as fat tits.Feminist moment.
>Swamp>Graveyard>Pumpkin Hill>Astral Orrey>Bone Bitch>SnowlandMy order.
>>740321298Silksong was already going to be successful based on Hollow Knight's reception but because the devs went entirely radio silent for most of it's development the fans collectively meme'd it into this hugely anticipated mega gaming event.Mika fans were never going to go so info starved for the game as to force the game's release into this big event because Yacht Club was doing diligent KS backer updates throughout it's development.
>>740313267I'm so glad I picked the whip because the beginning of the game has so far been the hardest part. I love getting powerups in these types of games, but it really trivializes things just like incidentally leveling up and getting new gear does in RPGs.
>>740321974Honestly I was expecting a twist all the way up to the end that Lionel wasn't actually the bad guy. weather it was possesion, or madness from spark exposure, or something. I kinda think that the spark was the real villain. each of the towers motivated some local entity to be a 'guardian', with the bone beach tower compelling a sea monster to beach itself around it's body to protect it. So the towers themselves manipulating lionel kinda fits. But its not a story that was written to be analyzed to death.
>>740297347>>perfect blend of Zelda 2, Castlevania III, Dark Souls, and Zeldadisagreeits too platforming/combat heavy and misses on satisfying puzzle elements not sure how i feel about sidearms being temp pick ups
>>740320843None of which are any fun or value.
>>740298831It was the final nail in its coffin for getting not getting my purchase. I mostly lurk instead of post, but seeing this games existence today and then finding out where they donated, I just had to say something. I'm not funding violent criminal niggers with my money, not gonna chance it in any way just in case.
All the areas had good tracks but Bone Beach has to be my favorite. Astral Orrery is a close second.
>>740322709My lack of posting hitting me in the ass, I butchered the fuck out my own sentence.
>>740314165The minion one is practically OP with its "passive" damage. The Axe and Knife are really good against normal enemies, but I've had issues using them in half the boss fights.>>740315380>feed myselfthe dog ate him and he wrote the note because he knew it was a possibility and didn't care>>740321298Hollow Knight was bigger than Shovel Knight. Like immensely bigger.
Map isnt big enough. I'm learning it too easily.
>>740322587I think the puzzles it has are alright. basically just figuring out the route of digging/not digging to navigate an area. It could have used one big secret. Either a trade quest or a hell temple, minus world, something. And maybe its still out there. I would be kinda disappointed if thebiggest secret in the game gave itself away too early.
Silksong is still a better game. But I'm on New Game++, so this is still a really good game. I think it just needs more content, which sounds greedy, but despite there being a lot of unique things to see and do, its consumed too fast. Like how all the fish you collect are unique enemy encounters, but you kill them under 5 seconds. I hope they don't just add more playable characters with their own campaigns, but add several secret levels instead.
>>740323007That's a pro for me. I am so glad they didn't go with some massive bloated map full of backtracking. When they were saying how much screens the game had, I was very wary, but it's actually not too massive at all, and everything is pretty closely linked and there are plenty of shortcuts.
>>740315380I figured he passed away in his sleep and just knew mite wasn't going to pass up a free meal.
>>740322457>Honestly I was expecting a twist all the way up to the end that Lionel wasn't actually the bad guy.And you got it.
Does anyone have that image with the file names that let you switch your appearance and such?
>people who were perfectly fine with your actions are suddenly accusatory at the dinner partyhow much was he paying these niggas
mina @ hmofatards that get too touchy
>>740323691Mina might be the most sexually submissive protagonist of any game outside the "try not to get raped" genre.
>>740323691Mina is for vore, not ballbusting.
>>740320686she still built the generators 10 years before the game starts, so unless she was a teen genius she was around 20-ish then and is over 30 now
>>740323893Well yeah that but makes for a less funny post...
>>740323074The "carrying things a long way" puzzles are pretty fun. It took me way too long to figure out how to get back to the shipwreck.
It's the greatest game I've ever played since Bloodborne
>>740323551BNvm I found it.
>>740297347>zero wokeshit>play as girlbossKys shill
>>740316826Mina if souless
>>740324204see >>740311534
>>740322741Bone Beach is really cool in general.Septemburg was disappointing but I wonder if it was kind of supposed to feel "weird" like that, it feels like you're playing a Halloween rom hack like Metroid Spooky Mission or something. The crucified crows and the big farm area especially.
>>740323691Cute blush. I'd let her crack my nuts.
>>740323118silksong has boring upgrades and act 2 is a slog. They took 8 years and didnt come up with anything more interesting than a running long jump, seriously?the trinkets in mina mog team cherry's games
>Theres blue piranha plants in Lionel's office>When bosses die they bloom into roses>Theres roots that block Mina's path, some require you to defeat enemies to pass>Lionel's final form has an attack where same roots come out of his palm and summon different colored sparkles>Lionel's final form isn't a plant based monster>The library has books on Mina discussing the importance of balancing inventions with nature, Lionel purchasing the manor from Goddred and Goddred loving his garden>You get to fight Goddred's daughter, but never Goddred
>>740323691>it's not a ballbusting imageLame.
>>740323691>it's not Mina anymore, it's DUNK
I love this fuckin' mouse so fuckin' much
>>740323584Dude he's literally the most powerful person on the island that he got to see develop thanks in part to Mina's spark tech. Not only that but he's generally seen as a cool ass dude who's willing to use part of his manor as an orphanage for children.Mina didn't stand any fucking chance
>>740324713chubby bitch
What 3 hard and weird modifiers did you guys use for the achievements?
not enough art of Mina being dicked by NPCs. kinda surprising given certain scenes in the game.https://files.catbox.moe/d0ez01.jpg
>>740308312The moth escort is behind a spark door
>>740324694>DUNK the hollower?
>>740324713she is instant furry waifu tier thanks yachtclub
im getting older so it's nice that they're making furry waifus around my own age these days
>>740324480Interesting observations, also worth noting that Elizabeth mentions that Goddred "sought to nurture life" which would tie into the health upgrades.
>>740325421Agreed
Are there modifiers that replace the souls like flask system with normal health pickups?
>>740325678CHOISE!!!
>>740325678I think that would make most bosses very difficult
why the summer game fest logo gotta look so yummy...
>>740325929Fuck she noticed, abandon ship
>>740310350The game accounts for it but I believe certain things are unavoidable, like the train.
>>740297347Bro it's not everyone else's problem that your game isn't selling. No one made you make 3 extra Shovel Knight games for free.
>>740310510You mean the sprites being able to be "offset" from the background? Set pixel scaling to 1.
so if im ass at the game but still want to go for a 4 hour run which trinkets and weapon should I be gunning for at the start?
>>740326301>here's my headcanon out of nowhere
>>740326378You can do it on NG+ once you already have everything and just rush through the bosses
>>740326678oh, that's way easier then
Is there any reliable way to heal as Beast Mina?
>>740326779Yeah. To do it on NG I think you'd have to cheese with the shield
Sex with mice. Perchance.
>>740327112did someone mention cheese
Every indie is milking their first game... except for Mina, she tried to be original.
>>740324480>last spoilerisn't he the big skeleton she's riding?
>>740325929top kek
>>740298920>>740298570>>740297347It's amazing how election tourists will always find a way to blame everyone else for their purity tests and how every accusation is a confession for them.Either way the game is fun and already a baseline success in only a few days. Looking forward to see which system carried the game the hardest so YG's knows who to pander too. We all know it's going to be NIntendo, again.
>>740328641That was my assumption.I was pretty sure Lionel's kraken tentacles were supposed to be flowery too.
When is the sex update
