/v/ - Video Games

Waste of everyones time

The entire games reeks of soy, like the guy who made it just loves getting off on all your typical lefty/cuck/whatever masochistic bullshit. I guess it's better he made a game than an interracial porn or whatever his peers are likely into but still.

I thought movement was absolute garbage, you mainly move the MC with the mouse for some reason. Flying was not fun, having to backtrack to past locations enduring the same annoying obstacles was not fun, having to change to different characters with very limited abilities was not fun etc. Pixel art is not nearly as good as you'd think it is based on trailers and such.

It's been a while since I played it so I can't really be more detailed but I didn't enjoy it in the slightest.

>ONCE AGAIN the devs are fucking retards.

Why exactly?

>>15177534

nobody attempts to claim that duke nukem forever was worked on for that entire amount of time. it was scrapped multiple times and sat on a backburner for years with no development, then rushed suddenly and slotted for release as cheap as possible years later.

>>15177538

>>15177526

got more info on the devs? i've literally heard nothing about them. i assume all western devs are SJWs if theyre not making edgelord games.

>>15177543

movement was that bad? you'd think in an exploration game the movement would be the focus. sounds like my assertion that the dev focused heavily on everything; except the gameplay.

The movement and combat was actually fun. Aiming and shooting every which way, switching between weapons and people and dash-rolling in mid-air everywhere was a breeze. Movement was fast and fluid, aiming felt almost like you were in a rail-shooter but with an actual place to move about in. Things especially got fun in terms of movement once you got Twig.

There were also a reasonable amount of puzzles that weren't just block shit. For example the ones that involved light and darkness and those floating lamp things were pretty brain-bending at times.

My main problem with it was that it was too forgiving. The game could easily have had more gameplay had it actually punished you instead of just putting you right where you were giving you full HP and everything. I wouldn't have minded fighting more enemies again to get to the bosses and shit. It sucks that I finished this game in 10 hours when it could've been 15 or 20 if they had a hard difficulty setting. I breezed through it almost too quickly because even if I did die (which did happen a few times since some bosses were a bitch) it was almost too easy to move through beyond an area.

More minor problems were that the shotgun took so long to charge and the screen's movement and color changes were annoying. I always thought i was getting damaged because the screen flashes red every time you fire that thing. The stealth sections were sort of annoying. I liked all the tricks and paths you have to take and the shit you could do but there was just a bit too much of it for my tastes.

Another thing I really didn't like was the ending. It was fucking depressing, at least that's the vibe I got. And people say it was supposed to be "uplifting", what absolute tripe.

>>15177499

The pixel art and animation is pretty good, but the gameplay is boring and pointless.

I say it's worth a pirate and playing trough it mindlessly if you feel like it, but otherwise it's not a good game.

>>15177571

I don't know anything about the developers but one look at all the tumblr noses and how the game starts off which every single NPC constantly bitching at you I can't imagine he's a very masculine guy.

>>15177586

i thought the people shot for you. you have to aim them?

>>15177605

Each character you carry is a different gun, basically. You got your basic-bitch starting gun, a massive Metal Slug-style shotty, and I think a three-way shot? I sort of fell off the game a bit.

>>15177605

People are basically just weapons. You do most of the aiming. I say most because there's a soft auto-aim for the "machine gun" one and the grappler (which is pretty much necessary if you're playing on a controller)

>>15177644

is the combat/dodging the focus?

>>15177680

Dodging is pretty much the focus of combat, but I would hesitate to say combat is the focus of the game.

>>15177680

(ID changed)

Yes, that and flying

There are stealth and movement sections but the combat is the main "focus" of the game I would say

That and the story and characters. Story is okay; it has noticeable flaws but is serviceable, characters are goodish but they just needed… more, period. More time spent with them and more learned about them

The ending also came out of nowhere and also was annoying because it sort of railroaded you into doing one action no matter what even if you as the player can tell that not everything is as it seems.

Anyways yeah its a shame, there just flat out needed to be more of the combat and everything and the game would've been solid but instead its made a lot less memorable because not only does the game feel rushed, it feels like you can do nothing but rush through it because of how forgiving it is

>>15177689

Success in combat is necessary for progression in most areas of the game though.

>>15177499

a pretty time waster to play only once and only if you have absolutelly nothing else to play

there are only a couple of times when the game may get tedious but other wise is a smooth ride from start to finish, you'll rarelly get stuck and likelly you won't remeber anything about the plot afterwards either

>>15177499

i enjoy it, then again im ok with most of the games as long as they dont try to push politics down to your throat.

my opnion is more or less like the rest of this place: good art and animation, famplay and plot are not unique or memorable. pirate it play one time, enjoy it, then move on to another game.

also as for the dev, it seems i heard some bad things about then back in the day (it seems he has the same mentality as "gamers are all scums") but never saw any tweet or anything point to it.

>>15177834

fuckit, i'll just play rabi rabi or all rabbits must die. atleast those have titties.

not playing shantae though.

>>15177848

gensokyo no nazo

>>15177848

>rabbi rabbi

You'll have more fun banging your head into the wall

I liked it for what it was for the first few hours, but then I started to feel that I was already reaching the endgame, and alas, the game was over in about four hours and pretty much every single mechanic seemed underutilized. It certainly wasn't a bad game, just way too short for the time it took to develop and way too pricey for it's quality and length.

If you like 2D sidescrollers with flight movement, pirate for sure.

I can't believe people on here actually prefer this dog shit over actual good games like Rain World.

The art in this game looks atrocious.

>>15177848

>rabi ribi

good choice its a fun metroid bullet hell game.

my only complaim about it, its there are some areas and power ups that are inacessiable until you reach a certain chapter of the game.

>>15177499

It's pixelshit marketed very well, prepare to feel the burn if you fall for it.

>>15177848

Also taimumari

>>15177862

Is that like touhou double focus?

>>15177595

> how the game starts off which every single NPC constantly bitching at you

Isn't that some kind of trope? I recall Secret of Mana and Terranigma start similarly, "you suck, now go save the world elsewhere."

All these Western indie pixel art games end up being at best extremely mediocre games with heaps of leftist baggage underscoring game play that wouldn't even be serviceable on the NES. Owlboy, Shovel Knight, Iconoclasts, shit all sucks.

Great spritework, shit gameplay. Waste of 9 years of dev time

>>15177499

Owlcuck the Game looks good, but really shits the bed once the dev ran out of soy.

>>15177922

RabiRibi was great you faggot.

>>15179321

>>Shitting on iconoclasts

The most finely crafted pixel art of tumblr noses of the decade.

>>15187922

>it's good because it took konjak a decade to finish

no it's shit because it's a boring, predictable game with underwhelming platforming, mediocre exploration, boring combat and easy bosses. You just like it for your shitty tumblr art waifus. Get taste in games, then get taste in waifus, or just kill yourself.

our journey brings us to the realm of tumblr. https://ink-the-artist.tumblr.com/post/170514509338/my-local-gas-station

dare you proceed?

>>15177499

Indie pixelshit.

>>15179321

Pretty much. Tumblr infected the nostalgia crowd years ago through chiptunes and pixel art styles are just an extension of that.

>>15207844

I wouldn't even call it the nostalgia crowd because most of these faggots only pretend to like old games. They're vicarious hipsters plain and simple.

>>15207936

Fake nostalgia then.

>>15177499

>platformer game where platforming is only done in the final parts of the game
