>*is 2026 GOTY in your path*Nothin' personnel.
Flopped and sharted game
Im waiting for control and order of the falling star
>741283498>macaco is still maldingDance, monkey, dance!
>>741283356/v/ told me this game was shit because the difficulty decreases with progression.
I dont get how people play without the whip, the worst parts of the game are solved with long range weapon
>>741284105Blaster is the longest range weapon, thoEven lets you attack diagonally
>>741283356>about 11 inchesENTER
>>741284346
>>741284105whip was also my favorite weapon by far.I did use the daggers for a while but i couldn't stick with them for long. Range too shit.Hammer is cool for big meaty swings but knowing when and where to charge is too much for a first playthrough.Shield was interesting but i didn't wanna bother learning parry timings.I think i had the blaster equipped for a whole 5 seconds.
>>741284105I want to like the Hammer, but it's roll feels so weird to use.The Battery Blaster is fun, but I definitely need to upgrade it's damage.
>BLM>PIT SWEAT>SILKSONG>OTHER GAME IS BETTER>BAD NUMBERS>UGLY>TOO HARD>BUY AN AD>/vg/>IT'S ON THE MOUSE>TRANSFORMED THORNE>ASTROTURFED>SPONSORED THREAD>CHEECED TO MEET YOU
>>741285426all true btw
>>741284105I'm using the shield, parrying is funThe game is just overall too easy anyway. I fixed 6 generators so I'm pretty sure I'm at the end of the game and I've been steamrolling every single boss for hours now. It's the only flaw I can find but it's a pretty big one. At least to me
>>741285654after the first generator or two you can start steamrolling. end game felt like playing action platformer more than anything. lot of people mostly complained about the difficulty at the beginning of the game.
astroturfed discord tranny game
>>741283356Is this another one of those games where the male developer is projecting their identify on the game protagonist?
>>741283356Fantastic game. I hope I never see it again.Also fangamer made too little plushies. Didn't manage to grab one in time.
Human Boyfriend Amyway, most of the difficulty just seems to be at the beginning before you learn where everything is and start unlocking stuff.
>>741285426Shouldn't it be "CHEESED TO MEET YOU"
>ywn have a mouse wife Why live?
>>741286209lol i noticed that like two threads ago but forgot to fix it. ruined.
Is Mina the Hollower the first time you ever had to fight a Boss just to reopen a Shop?Because that just seems mean.
>>741284105Hammer is amazing for bosses, I bit worse for normal enemiesI just swapped between the whip and the hammer as needed
>>741284003>Game makes you stronger as you progressYou mean like how games used to be made? Silksong really did rot people's brains if they genuinely think Skong is a return to form for videogame difficulty. Videogames have never been as hard as Skong and on the rare occasion that they were, they were only 3 hours long max.The satisfaction that I get from the braindead Skong glaze is that the prolonged stress levels that these faggots get from this game will shorten their lifespan.
>pixelshit "retro" slop in 1988+38No thanks, fuck this shit. Just go play actual retro games instead of this derivative slop, you fucking zoomers.
>>741286685No that happens in MIO as wellquite annoying
>>741286804t. filtered faggot
>>741284105Played the entire game with the hammer, never changed weapons to even try them, I like hammer
>>741286804>You mean like how games used to be madeThat's the opposite of how old games are made, are you retarded? What a ridiculous larp post.
>>741286196>Amyway, most of the difficulty just seems to be at the beginning before you learn where everything is and start unlocking stuff.Yeah that's true. As soon as you reach the town and grind out 1500 skulls and can get your second spark, the game basically snowballs since it's twice as easy to not lose bones anymore. And then you can very easily start buying health upgrades or boning up your defense rapidly.
>>741286804I disagreed with the poster too but I’m pretty sure he was a SHMUP autist.
Does it actually do anything meaningful beyond copying very old games? Is it at least close to being an equal to the games it is copying?
>>741287272It’s more challenging than the GB Zelda games. It looks different than most soulslikes. It’s all well executed.
>>741283356It's very solid but also very underwhelming. Every area and boss had me thinking "oh, that was it? That was over quickly."I can change the difficulty sure, but unfortunately upping the damage numbers or whatever won't change how short the levels are, and that's also assuming I wanna run through the game a second time which I don't.I don't think it's gonna get GOTY.
>>741285115>when and where to chargeCompletely unnecessary when you can roll around at the speed of sound while your hammer is charged. You can literally charge the hammer up, then zoom around to hit the boss.
Ask me anything, achievements, bosses, anything you're struggling with or curious about.
>>741283356Mina, short for Mouse Vagina
>>741287552which runs where to most fun? did you do more ng cycles than ng+1? did you experiment with modifiers like the combat scaling?
>>741287552>Tip Tapper was the last>Training DummyMan, that must have been anticlimatic.I had to kill Lionel Messi twice because I finished the game with 0% because I couldn't tell before credits.
>>741287552>tip tapperI think I got this by accident when I was hitting "dead" lionel just for fun, must be a bug
>>741287926The run that felt the most satisfying (and also the most stress-inducing) was the Below Zero run. It was the ultimate knowledge check and what made me realize just how intentional the design of each and every room was. They really do give you these sweet spots where you can hurt enemies without trading blows because you're so fucking fragile. I almost gave up when I got the Astral Orrery, but the more I played, the more I started finding those spots. If you ever do this brutal run yourself, here's another tip - you do NOT have to fight mutated Thorne. I was having an even harder time with him than The Congealed boss. You just run north and hit the two switches to get into the castle.As for NG cycles, I did NG+1 and that was it. I was really hoping for something new in New Game+, but there's nothing. No new enemies or enemy placement layouts, no new boss patterns or attacks, nothing exclusive to playing a harder mode, just nothing. I was very disappointed in that aspect. I should do a run with no RPG mechanics where everything's balanced without leveling.>>741288080It feels like like it's becoming tradition for me at this point, it's happened with several games. I do this brutal fucking achievement, and then leave one easy one last because it feels so cathartic. I played Tiny Rogues and defeated super boss Amon at Cinder 14 for my second to last achievement. Then the last one was "With a Little Help From My Friends", where you need to have ten summons fighting alongside you, much easier.That final boss fight in Mina took me forty attempts, I was too stunned to even celebrate. The final auto-scroller platforming segment before that took me over thirty attempts, I hate it so fucking much. That swinging mace guy, then the iron ball segment at the end where it's basically a one hit kill if you get hit and fall. I got hit and barely hung on to a tile sweating to survive.
>>741288419They patched that out, they found you could get multiple achievements that way. Same with the funny Casket weapon insta-kill on bosses.
>>741283356wonder how many people have mina in their filter. these threads are incredibly annoying.
>>741288919???
>>741287552Just finished the game for the first time. I was curious on a second playthrough for fun whether to do NG+ or just a fresh save with a bunch of the hard mods on, but it sounds like NG+ is only really worth doing for the achievement?I really really enjoyed the game, though; it's definitely one of my new favorites...Also from basically every other playthrough/comment online I read, apparently I made it way harder by using these stupid ass twin swords. They feel really good when you're back is to the wall mashing because you can't get knocked away, but so often you have a lot of trouble sticking to enemies, like another anon mentioned
>>741288919>Using filtersAt that point, you're no longer "people"
>>741283356Finished the game yesterday and cannot imagine using any weapon other than the flail, swords too short range, hammer too slow, blaster and shield too finicky.I had to look up whether or not there were alternate endings depending on how much stuff you got but apparently there's only a single alt ending if you fulfill like 50+ requirements and it's a single changed cutscene. Pass. Regardless, an incredibly fun time.
>>741288919>filtering singular threadsI'd understand if there was several threads up for weeks, but if there is one, at most 2, it's just petty.
>>741289337The sinless ending actually skips the whole last dungeon.
>>741289337>>741289480it's clearly just a joke ending
>>741289480I was curious about that, since it did seem like it would make sense if Lionel didn't have any of the random bullshit to list out in that cutscene>>741289337Switching back and forth with the blaster is weird at first, but being able to chunk bosses and kill annoying ass enemies in the overworld without even getting near them felt so nice
>>741283356coalburner
>>741289126filtering spam threads you dont enjoy is incredibly rational.
>>741289712It's the canonical good ending tho
>>741290075>spam threadsSpam threads are twatter screencap threads, "You did this", [good/bad news], political bait or whatever flavor this week's incelshit takes shape.
>>741290075Most /v/ threads are about games I have no interest in and I never use filters.
>>741290214its ok mister advertiser i wont filter your thread.
What the fuck was his problem?
>>741290746Maybe he's just grumpy from all the neck pain?
I just finished the game, and I wonder if the inspiration for the ending was mostly just the "hollow victory" pun. It was still fun to see what's going in the different areas, like the violence just escalating in Septemburg. The game is close to having a really nice tone by having almost shockingly dark elements despite the cute animal characters, but on the other hand, it doesn't feel like it takes itself seriously at all. It's like the devs thought any more story than a GBC Zelda game would be cringe or something. I think that makes the story miss its potential. It was still really nice to be able to save Thorne at the end, since he and Lionel are close to being pretty strong characters.Overall I thought the game was great and well worth the wait
>741288919>people are discussing videogames on /v/ ? ugh how annoyinglmaogachafaggot detected

>>741291059My complaint is Mina doesn't have much personality. Playing through I thought she had a selfish outlook at things but at the end she goes full altruism despite the villagers being pissed at her. Funny enough I think the sinless ending or some variation of it should have been the default ending and you had to work to save the island. But maybe that would have been to similar to Silksong so the devs didn't do it.
3 weeks later, schizo fell off and Mina is still alive and well on /vee/, why can't we stop winning mousebros?

>>741284105Anything but the hammer is wrong
Kinda bitter that the plush ended up being sold on its own after it was a $250 tier on the kikestarter.Oh well. Enjoy it if you managed to snag the preorder
>>741300564Does the Hammer get cool upgrades later?
FOTM just like Silksong
>>741300817It gets a bigger charge-up and finally a short finisher. Hit the Hollower guild hammer enjoyer with it for funny.
>>741300817Hammer gets great upgrades, the follow up strike will kill most things the first attack doesn't and you can aim it separately, and the second upgrade is an unblockable second tier charge that takes forever to prep but it two shots the endgame lion guards through their shields.
>>741300839Just like Shovel Knight.
>>741295913No, Big Belmont Cock
You're not allowed to declare GOTY for 2026 until 2027 you fucking imbecile. Quit doing this, you cannot see the future.
Hate how despite having a nice character design, ingame she looks like just an actual mouse
>>741301624
>>741301624Yeah, there's so much more to look forward to this year, like
>>741301624I can see the future and Mina is carrying my baby in her womb.
but what if smol
741300839>if your game doesn't get constant discussion forever, then it's "le fotm" and thus bad!this is your brain on /vpol/
>>741301745You're a retard and a literal who game with zero marketing could come out that is massively innovative before december. Do not sit there and call out autism just because someone is actually 30+ and doesn't keep falling for the same tricks over and over.
741303352>b-b-but what if (random guess)lolwhatever it takes to cope, macaco
>>741283356They have to put all their profits towards breaking their lease and moving out of LA. They can't afford any bribes for GOTY.
Does Mina get a musical instrument at any point during the game? Can't be a Zelda-lite without one.
>>741303436This isn't a cope, this is fact. If you weren't such a fake media fan you'd understand that there is no singular game on this gay earth that is worth sentimental value. Better games WILL come out, and there is a significant possibility for that to happen when we're only half way through the year. You are fucking vapidly delusional, and probably only play 1 new game a month maximum. I pirate at least 3 games a week. I am unlike you, a real media fan. Cairn is better than Mina the hollower so far anyways in terms of innovation so if you really want to go by your retarded as logic then a literal dyke lesbian beat the mouse.
>>741303639Does a phonograph count as an instrument
She literally can't stop winning.
So, what crossovers will Mina get first? Shovel Knight made quite a few guest appearances in other media.
>>741303937Except she loses almost everything by the end of the game.
>>741300839>>741301079yeah, i played the game and had fun but it's just the FOTM and nothing elseyou can tell because we had 15 times more threads leading up to the game than after the release and people barely talk about the game or the characters. I don't think there is a single side character other than Thorne, Mia and Lionel that's worth any discussion because they are super one-note characters
YOU MADE ME GO THROUGH ALL THAT BULLSHIT JUST FOR A SHORTCUT TO AN AREA I'VE ALREADY BEEN TO???
>>741304027Next Smash game she'll get an assist trophy, and she'll be a guest character in one of those Smash clones.
>>741284105The blaster feels like cheating
>>741304095you did get the ghost cat in that area too, right?
>>741303639There's at least five games where Link doesn't play shit.
>>741304095This is an important shortcut for New Game plus
>>741288518>I was really hoping for something new in New Game+I agree, new enemy placements should have been a core feature of it, but later NG+ cyucles do have a little something more. They're basically all their own little challenge.
Any hopes for DLC?
>>741306908if they can recoup, DLC would be a good idea to get some quick buck. thorne dlc as a parallel story could work, like plague of shadows.
>>741303639She can dance
>>741304073>getting the bad ending
>>741283356No way this is real. What the fuck is going on.>Everybody making bank with Mina except the devs
>>741306908Fuck DLC, we want the Mina/Thorne dual-adventure sequel (Unc Knight first though sadly)
>>741308702Where are you ordering from that shipping costs that much?
>>741308774Probably some turd world country.
>>741308774Chile. I'm assuming it has to do with fangamer having FedEx as the only option for shipping, but hell, even if Youtooz has shitter designs overall they only charged 15 bucks for shipping.>>741309213Silencio monoparlante.
>>741295319why is this lab rat so smug
>>741309378Because she knows she's a menace to society.
>>741309404looking snazzy
>>741309450She's our gal?
>>741306908IIRC they confirmed prerelease that they're not doing DLC, and they're 100% not doing anything like Shovel Knight's free expansions again, but hopefully once they're financially stable enough they can throw a playable Thorne our way to hold us over until MIIna.>>741308763I wonder how much of rework Shovel Knight will get with the new game. It's mostly a retrospect thing with how good the DLC was but by the end of it all Shovel Knight himself was the least interesting and cohesive part of his own game.
>>741310961That sucks. I am interested in what Mina will do now after the ending, where will she go, and when will she meet her future human husband.
>>741311839Damn rat! Needs correction...
I wonder what Plasma Vials taste like?

>>741294962>right after the Fuga preordersThere were FUGA plushies up for sale? Fml.
>>741289109Yeah, NG+ is painless only because you can get it done in like five hours since you don't need to collect anything. Also I maintain that the worse base weapon are the swords. The night star is the most beginner friendly. The hammer's the best overall, not even a contest.
>>741319438Yeah, the hammer is easily the best, the weapons seem generally balanced, but I wonder if they could've balanced it better. Maybe the hammer could've had more of a sweet spot and sour spot.
>>741319438>>741319751Do you use the Hammer's roll while charging, because it seems really awkward to me.

>>741320006The roll moves you exactly 1 tile, and also won't let you fall off ledges. If you can see the world in its actual grid format, then this makes repositioning with it very easy. It also has i-frames, but that's best used to dodge through attacks, not away.
>>741320665>Steam charting a multiplatform release
Listen, I need Mina to become popular so that people will realize that Mouse Girls are far better than Goblin Girls.
>>741320665I figure it's obvious no? It only takes a couple weeks of casual play to beat the game, then most users would move onto another game.If anything, the Steam stats chart needs a button to exclude primarily multiplayer-focused titles.
>>741320765Correct, the only platform that even matters is PC.
>>741320665it's an easy game that you can beat in an afternoon if you are not new to the genre. You get to the point where you can tank bosses and have absurd amounts of plasma vials
>>741320665I genuinely don't get what people were expecting from a singleplayer game. It was anticipated enough to get good sales, but it lacked any cultural presence like Silksong did. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence and interest in Mina were just hoping for the bare minimum sales, and it succeeded plenty in that.
>>741320765SAAAAR YOU MAZAFUCKING BITCH DA GAME IS WOKE SA'AR DO NOT BUY THIS BLOODY GAME SA'AR. YOU MAZAFAKA
>>741320765Ah yes, that top-20 list on Steam that also is primarily multi-plats.
>>741321106there isn't anything interesting in the game other than Minait also doesn't help that it's 8-bit so most characters look the same
>>741319223Not plushies, physical copies of the games, but the super special snowflake edition included a Tengen Toppa Malt plush and a fluffy tail keychain
I wonder if Mina will get mods? Did Shovel Knight have a dedicated modding community?

I just played for an hour before losing my bones to that fucking red bushy enemy that moves back and forth, had the "No RPG" modifier on. Don't do it, you get no achievement for it and it's boring as shit.
>>741323364It also means no weapon upgrades, and you can't buy any trinkets, either. And the ones you find will have NO effect when equipped. So it's the driest possible way to go through the game, all the stress of Below Zero with none of the glory of actually doing Below Zero.
>>741319223Limited Run for the English release of the physical trilogy. Wouldn’t bemoan it too much. Probably going to be a piece of shit that arrives torn. Definitely gonna be nowhere near as nice as the Etsy Mei plush
The game would be vastly improved if you could hold all subweapons at your base after a chain of upgrades.And also if you had two active weapon slots, if only to have a shield on at all times.
>>741323742I should have ordered two of those Mei, but I just got the one.
>>741323242Eh, they aren't that expensive, and it's more convenient than dying, plus you lose your subweapon ammo on death.
I really hate that there are literally 100+ modifiers. They as developers couldn't just distill it down to 15 at most and had to introduce a ton of silly/pointless/gameshark-tier ones.
>>741325054is there an achievement for playing without any of them because i quite like the damage numbers ones
>>741325183Nope. There's just two achievements for playing with specific kinds of feats on, and there are feats that mark the feat-counter with a red outline which disables achievements during that run.

>>741325773No, you can keep playing and finish up anything you haven't done after beating the final boss, it puts you to before beating it, but you can also do new game plus if you want.

>>741283356GTA 6 will win GotY. The quality of the game doesn't even matter, it just will. The entire industry exists to accommodate GTA 6 right now.

>>741283356I haven't played the game and I only have mild interest in playing it but I really love the mouse character. I'll probably get the plush.
>>741328643god i love aloe drinks
>>741328643>I'll probably get the plush.Out of stock until 2027, according to the Fangamer page. Must have been either a really short supply, or massive demand.
>>741286804Silksong and this game are both in the same camp of being piss easy if you use the tools the game gives you which filters retard who are used to games playing themselves. Just go back to your movie games normie.
>>741328796I can wait. >>741328695Just had one for the first time like a week ago and I'm a fan as well now
>>741287272>meaningfulYeah, have really good gameplay. If you're looking for an art project or something to post about social media you can always talk about the new GoW.
>>741321106The past 10+ years of indie gaming has been defined by suprise super hits that dominate videogame discussion for months and remain part of the internet collective consciousness indefinitely. People talking about something is practically the only metric of success the average person recognizes anymore.
>>741288919A lot of frogposters and twitter thread OPs I imagine. It must upset them a lot seeing threads that actually discuss video games hitting the bump limit so fast.
>>741328856Silksong is actually difficult, even with "cheese" methods. Mina is way easier than Silksong, which just makes me kek when retards cry about it being too hard.
What the FUCK is Spark? The one guy in The Congealed implies that it's The Spark Of Life meaning possibly souls or some kind of life force but how is Mina getting it from the earth? How did she build all those generators without noticing how harmful Spark was to living things?
>>741328996I'd only consider Mina comparable in difficulty when going for the Below Zero achievement legitimately.
>>741329075It's the lifestream from FF7. That's what it always is.
>>741283498I flopped out my wallet and boughted this goty contender
>>741328996Mina is as difficult as silksong, but it takes a little more effort on the player's part to engage with it. Enabling modifiers without shame if you want to tailor the experience to meet your skill level. (Assuming its not)
>>741329363>Mina is as difficult as silksongWhat exactly makes you say this? Silksong was actually challenging for me, but Mina became a joke after the first dungeon and never really picked up difficulty again.
>>741328996>Silksong is actually difficultno>Mina is way easier than Silksongyes
So was the Astral Orrery ever explained?
>>741329565>mousevania was trivial after level oneThats how I felt aswell. Post crypt I kinda stomped the next couple of bosses. But then I noticed the pattern and added some modifiers and it became consistently challenging again. Depends on the user's willingness to use modifiers. I don't mind adding some harder mods given the devs explicitly designed them to be used willy nilly.
>>741329650>Silksong is actually difficultyesI've played a wide variety of 2D platformers from just about every console gen, and Silksong is firmly in the higher tiers of difficulty, unless you're counting meme games like IWBTG.
>>741329679Difficulty sliders are shit. I shouldn't have to try and fine-tune the game to not be a faceroll.
>>741329715Anyone who says silksong isnt difficult is lying. With Mina though I can reasonably accept someone finding it easy or hard and both are valid.
>>741329652Talk to the NPCs, they explain it themselves. It was being used for researching Spark or something like that.
>>741329758I can't really argue against that and I also don't want to. You are valid to feel that way. In Mina's case I just didnt mind. It feels like a game that was actually designed with that in mind and its so easy/intuitive to do.
>>741309404She has a little more tiddy than that
>>741329363>Mina is as difficult as silksongI love both games and this is absolutely false
>>741329969Its false according to you. I know plenty of people who struggled tons with Mina, and they aren't less worthy of consideration. The devs themselves would not have advertised Mina as a hard game if it wasn't. lol
>>741329219You should buy a few more copies so they can break even kek
>>741330065>I know plenty of people who struggled tons with MinaAnd? That doesn't mean it's as hard as silksong.
>>741330086I would but I don't need to>>741309404Why are you giving her gloves ?
>>741329715Unless all you use are basic attacks I'm not sure when the game is supposed to be difficult. Any fight that could present a challenge is answerable with tools and you have plenty of fodder enemies along the way to make shards a non issue. That's without even getting into certain crest/ blue and yellow tool combinations.
>>741329363I'm taking the bait.Bosses in Mina can be daggered to death while standing still if you're tired of fighting them (without modifiers). Bosses in Silksong had me going at them for hours with no shirt as my body became a furnace of anger.
>>741330065>I know plenty of people who struggled tons with MinaWhich probably means they never even completed Act 1 in silksong
>>741330065I don't know how people would have issue with Mina unless they don't explore to find extra trinkets/upgrades, or they hit the wrong area early and don't think "Maybe I should look elsewhere or actually take note of the newspaper".
>>741330283NTA but that's how I feel about Silksong albeit Mina is still much easier.
>>741330251Its not bait. I just happened to post when bad faith cuddies were in the thread. Anyway you're basically saying the game is easy because you played it in a way that made it easy ? There's plenty of cheese strats in silksong aswell like poison cogfly spam.
>>741330065>I know plenty of people who struggled tons with Minalol. lmao even
>try to go back to playing the game>"jesus christ, these controls suck">stop 5 minutes afterSeriously. This might have the worst mobility move in the history of video game.
>>741329652Theyre researching the supernatural
>take gba 32bit artstyle that was designed for viewing on a tiny screen or on a CRT wherein the pixels blended together in a more visually appealing style>blow it up to a 2k+ resolution>dont attempt to add any softness to the pixel art what so ever despite adding a ton of fluidity to the gameplay, resulting in a jarring presentation that hurts the eyes, half the icons dont look like anything, and the enemies/maps dont stand apart from eachothernoose all pixelshit indiedevs
So, is Tenebrous Isle the only place with Spark technology? It's been ten years, wouldn't Mina conduct further experiments elsewhere? How did she fail to notice any side effects if she didn't have Plasma Vials with her?
>>741331165>take gba 32bit artstyleI wish. Game targeted GBC resolution (but widescreen) and colour palette.
Picked hammer for my first run and it's been fun, can't imagine using anything else. I'm up to the mirror world and pissed that I have to go and find and the stupid mirrors again. I didn't expect jumping at the mirror a bunch to be the solution to the problem. Fucking stupid
>>741331259it's the artstyle it is most clearly trying to be reminiscent of, the issue is that it adds too much on screen so it just ends up looking like a visually cluttered mess when you scale the resolution down, or a totally overblown eyesore when you have it at a higher resolution
>>741283356is this game actually good and fun or just a new OC for furries to goon over? going by the thread it's just goon bait
>>741331491Both. Gooning alone does not carry threads.
>>741327067ratpack my beloved..
>>741331491>going by all the gameplay posts, it's goonbaitJust accept that you have terminal brainrot and can only think about sex.
>>741331487Oh I'm aware. It sucks that any of the visual filters are all behind feats. At the least include some basic filters in the Video options. I ended up just playing the game windowed mode.
man this game is so fucking good (shieldGAWD btw) but it needs a better, always accessible map with how large and secret dense it isshould have made it a modifier optionthe skull thing is neat I guess but nah
>>741283356Is this game for someone who doesn't have any Game Boy nostalgia?
>>741331491It's actually fun
>>741331491For $20 I got a game that took me 21hrs to beat on the first playthrough. It's not bad, but not exceptional either.
>>741332286yeahthe "game boy nostalgia" is literally just the graphical style, not much more
>>741331419you don't jump at them, you just walk
>>741332671>is literally just the graphical style, not much moreThank fuck for that
Just finished it today, took me a week because the game was frustrating in a way where I couldn't stomach playing for more than a few hours at a time. I feel like the most reminiscent of old games thing about it is making weird fucking design choices that aren't conducive to fun and just kind of piss you off. It was interesting in that way.
>>741331419Hammer is still my favorite but I've been messing around with the daggers and with the right trinkets they've gone from my least favorite to probably third, with the speed buff and damage multiplier they just melt bosses
>>741332286I have game boy nostalgia so I can't say for sure.But playing it reminded me that 3D doesn't replace 2D. The game design works because it's made of 2D tiles and it's a lot of fun.
>>741331419I hopped between the whip, daggers, and mainly stuck with the shield.The hammer and gun didn't click with me.
Shield is really fucking fun to use.also Mina would be better as a shortstack femboy
>miss picking up miner from Major Miner fight because the hitbox is only at the bottom of his sprite, boss gets a free heal>immediately get pickaxe'd because popping out of the ground triggered the air hitbox of the projectile instead of where it was about to landI hope the sequel is 3D just so they'll be forced to make actual consistent perspective

>>741283356Damn BLM is only 11 inches????
Can someone explain to me the bone and bone stone thing and all that, I'm retarded.I thought I kinda got it but then buying items allows me to use either?
>>741334786Bone is the money you have on hand that you lose when you die. Bonestone is your permanent saved money that you can either cash in for level upgrades in the lab or spend at shops instead of bone so you always have a means of buying something without dipping into your level ups..
>>741334786bones are your actively-carried currencybonestone is currency stored in the bank that can't be lost from dyingthat's about it
dead game, dying studio
>>741334862>>741335042Thanks, bros.
>>741334723would be funnier if that was the actual reason
>>741332841I would prefer equipable items to having to store secondaries deliberately or go to find them if I'm being honest
>>741286972brainless retard
How do I get to the chest that's to the right of Ossex's south entrance? It's up on a ledge...I'm at the last dungeon and its teasing me...
>>741335708get some dude to whip out his long, girthy nose
>>741335365I didn't like the game's handling of secondaries in general. Would have preferred if they were discovered per location as an unlock (with multiple points they're placed at in a given region), and then you can grab it freely from the Underlab like your weapons.
Cringe
Mina is GOTY ezYou can try to argue you all you want but I'm leavin' after I post this cuz I dun care
>>741336775this man is in for a rude awakening then lol
>>741336775I enjoyed Mina a lot, but my GOTY will be out in three months.
>>741337083I just want to say FUCK CALIFORNIA
>>741337565Yacht Club would definitely be in a better position if they chose literally any other State to set up office in.
>>741337713a millennials obsession with california cannot be understated, you'd think it was a holy land to them
>>741336365yeah, I'm not really sure what the current implementation really adds outside of backtracking or having to hit an orb at the right timeLinks Awakening style equipables and unlocks would have been a massive improvement and I always enjoyed getting the upgrades as the game progressedmaking the whole game accessable from the start definitely warps how dungeons and puzzles can be made mechanically unique toostill will probably be my GOTY
Batman got on my nervesHe was running me amokHe ridiculed me calling me a bum
>>741337775after thinking about it more, the implementation also limits synergies and puzzles where the intended solution requires combining the tools in unique ways, since you can only carry one to startinstead the game favors a number of types of problems that can often be trivialized with a single set of trinkets kinda like the square peg memeshopefully it's something that can be refined or built on in a potential sequel
Kinda hoping if there's a sequel, they just go Metroidvania with it.
>>741337713lots of successful indie devs in california
>>741338643Plenty of successful ones that moved to Japan too, location doesn't matter.

Gonna try to do a Below Zero run with No Pawnty and Ineffective Trinkets turned on as well. It seems like the proper way to do a Lowest Percent run without just cheesing the Joule Syringe + Mist Jar setup and then selling everything off afterward
>>741342197Just do a lvl98 run for your Below Zero.
>>741341926correct!
I wish the game was longer
>>741342671It felt a little too long for me at 20ish hours.
>>741342671I like that it's not a huge undertaking.It increases the chances that I want to replay it at some point.
>>741342671Took me like 20ish hours to complete the first time. Now on a second playthrough, only two towers left and did it all today. I realize now too most of the game is platforming.
>>741342421Why is Mina dating Sly Cooper?
>>741341758>genius>strong>low morals
>>741342421whats in the censored box?
>>741342671Some areas like coltrane felt really short, like it was missing another area before it. Doesn't help that was one of the last areas I didWish there were more npc sidequests, game really needed some more dialogue to explain some things
>>741318549Balatro and Hades really don't, Signalis only for lesbian memeposting, Silksong because it's recent, Outer Wilds is the only one that legit gets normal ass discussions about it that aren't bottom of the barrel Reddit tier slop
>>741322931She's way too big, the jannies probably prefer proper size difference

>they still put the completionist in mina even after that other indie removed him because of all that drama that happenedkek
>>741283498It made them somewhere around 3.8 Million in revenue just on Steam. That might not be enough to dig them out of their hole, but it's enough that they probably won't get mulched by their creditors.
>>741348450I didnt know it was supposed to be him. I just thought it was a shit boss.
>>741349772I was just mingling with the frog posse after finally finding the way into the music house, talked to random NPCs and then this asshole starts a gimmick bossfight out of nowhere.
>>741349846Same. It was by far the worst boss, on top of being a complete joke.
Villagers or nobles pointing at Mina and screaming ‘criminal’ while another problem happens, depicted as a Wojak.

The 5&6 masks in early game are brutal, and eventually you can make some very strong builds and setups>>741330250What is your standard of 'difficult', how many times do you expect to die to a boss or when exploring an area?Do consider its also a bit route dependant, some people decided to adventure through bilewater early

>>741364582What do you think those letters Lionel burned that thorne wrote to mina said?
Are you a man or a mouse?
I would've liked Mina more if the retards at YCG didn't restrict movement abilities via trinkets, as if I didn't hate this fucking system since Hollow Knight already. Just let me change my trinkets anywhere instead of the underlabs.

why does this pose look so familiar
>>741329363nah, mina is easy to break in half, the spark vial alone is broken as fuck and you get it early. mist jar + joule syringe turns you completely invincible and even then at 10 attack 10 defense you can unga bunga every boss. i don't know what lionel's patterns are, i first tried him with the hammer.you don't really have to try hard to find broken strats.
>>741374775Yeah after the first couple of dungeons, I beat almost every boss first try. Meanwhile in Silksong I could easily spend 1-2 hours bashing my head against a single boss before beating it. The difference in difficulty is pretty fucking massive.

For those of you who went ahead and got your Untouchable achievement, which boss did you choose to get it with? I finally got it with the Duchess in NG+ but I have this feeling that I could've gotten it way easier with other Spark Generator bosses.
>>741384749use a ladder duh for real though get the ladder from the shop thats to the right of that screen just about every secret in the area requires it.
>>741384820The whole "carry the ladder with you around the map" is bad game design to me.

>>741388279I'm not a footfag. Zero attraction to them and I fucking hate footfags because they never shut the fuck up about their brain damaged fetish.Those mouse feet are cute though.
>>741388336Fair enough.
>>741283356ewI don't play games for gay people
>>741385695Honestly, just once I'd like it to turn out in one of these games that science isn't the big evil and the obvious shitbag isn't the villain.>You thought because I look after orphans that I'm a monster? What kind of fucked up crazy logic is that?
>>741283356My backlog is too big so I haven't played Mina's game yet. Is it actually good or is it like Celeste/Hollow Knight where only tasteless fags who have played 3 video games in their life like it?
>>741388742Actually good
floofy
>>741388494Your loss>>741388742I enjoyed it a lot. Probably gonna do a few more challenge runs just for fun and to farm out achievements and such
Should have resized it while I was doing the edit.
>>741388742it's not as ugly as celeste. it's basically a nonlinear top-down soulslike-platformer built around one primary movement mechanic with a lot of loadout options as long as you explore a lot. it's not like either of those games. i liked it.
Thorne coming in to help you at the end was cool as fuck but I wish he didn't have to die like that...
>>741390002>DieBoy, have I got good news for you if you play through the ending/credit sequence
>>741390002>>741390091Well nevermind, should have waited for the credits to end lmao
>>741390002>final boss involves a second heroic character that blocks attacks for you and provides openings>the character is killed by a massive barrage of energy balls>but not really, post-credits reveal they're injured but aliveI feel like I've heard this one before
am i the only one who wants thorne to molest me. i just wanna be beaten down and forced to take that loss.
>>741380183nice feet
>another mouse threat hitting bump limitThe schizo must have ACKed himselflol

Shield is the best weapon.
