that's not a torrent you nigger

>>16299743

Don't make me edit it into your OP as soon as someone posts it.

>Published by Gearbox

in the trash it goes. You think the devs would learn about bad publishers from chucklefish's shenanigans, but no. Randy's pedo cash is too good.

>>16299750

It's like they're doing it on purpose for attention.

>>16299746

>Its ok, I checked

Just how many connections does Mark have? I'm starting to think he is some sort of industry insider that hires someone to eat cake and be an autistic Jewish boy as a façade.

>Gearbox

Fuuuggg, im still buying it they give you an extra copy if you buy it now so i will buh it half and half with a friend, i put so many hours in the first that

Wonder how long it will take for it to be cracked.

>>16299779

Hopefully soon. This shit pissed me off almost as much as the Bulletstorm shit.

>>16299707

This makes me wonder, if you gamedev and put your game on steam, why would you need a publisher since it's published (distributed) by steam?

Am I missing something?

It's nice how the artstyle still appears to be intact with the switch to fully 3d environments, but I'm not sure if that justifies the 20 dollar purchase since I already own the first game.

>>16299715

And the last version was published by Chucklefish of Starbound fame. it doesn't say much on the quality of the game.

>>16299788

Gearbox probably gave them pedo money. Microsoft did the same thing with Cuphead.

>>16299783

Would be nice if we were able to play the multiplayer with cracked copies.

>>16299788

Publisher gets some money from final product in exchange for bankrolling and giving your game advertisement with journos.

Where are you guys getting this whole "published by gearbox" from? It says it's published by Hopoo in the store page.

>Early access

<it's out

Dubposting is legitimate on patently shit threads such as a blatant lie on the title. But since the cakejew thinks otherwise, I'll resort to a different approach to express my disappointment about OP's blatant lie.

So how is it?

>early access

You cunt I thought it was released released, get the fuck out of here.

At least the 100% positive review score is a relief. I thought the jump to 3D would make for a terrible game.

>>16299813

Are you a wizard?

>>16299812

>>16299815

Or are you still waiting, in the middle of 2019, to make a thread for Minecraft saying its "out"? Does minecraft still say its in beta? I haven't been keeping track.

>>16299800

What are they going to do, review the first level and commando?

>>16299882

>>16299813

>>16299814

Can someone talk about the game?

>>16299907

Randy raped Hopoos GF

>>16299907

It released a little ago. Whoever bought/pirated is still playing it.

>>16299907

>>16299925

It's pretty much what you'd expect of a good 3D Risk of Rain. You run around looking for the teleporter, kill mobs for cash, open chests, activate the teleporter, the boss shows up and you shoot it.

The teleporter's countdown now requires someone in your team to be inside a zone, and it will get stuck in 99% until the boss is dead.

You can sprint, and shoot while moving, but no shooting while sprinting

There are some items that give you upsides and downsides, like doubling all your healing, but it all happens through regens. To get those items you need a new currency that doesn't reset between levels (but does between runs) One time a portal opened after the teleporter activated which took me and my buddy to a Bazar where a character was stuck inside a crystal and you could buy him for 10 of this currency

So how is it? I don't really like the 3D look.

>>16299950

It just "released" a few hours ago, give it some time.

Ah damn, I've been looking forward to this. Hopefully it still has an arcadey feel. Can anyone here who has played it lemme know how it feels?

>>16299948

Sounds like a good time with a friend. I have the first one on my Vita, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I might wait for a GOG release while playing the first a while.

I remember hearing about auto-aiming/lock-on in 2, is that true? Don't really like that sort of thing.

>>16300006

>Expecting a GOG release with fucking Gearbox publishing it

Good luck fam.

>>16300006

A lot of the game is about your items/build and how crazy they can get, and dodging projectiles + kiting enemies. You can probably toggle the lock on tbh.

>>16300006

Commando has manual aim and though it's pretty lenient over long distances (as long as it is inside the crosshair you can hit it) you still have to move the mouse.

But my friend unlocked Huntress while we were playing and he said she does, in fact, auto-lock into airborne enemies. Also she has limited range compared to the Commando.

These are his words since I died on that teleporter and missed the unlock.

>>16300031

Having the option to choose is almost always the best option.

>>16300032

>auto-lock into airborne enemies

Is this like a homing projectile type of deal or is the player's cursor actually snapping/being guided to targets? The latter tends to feel pretty dissatisfying. I guess it comes down to whether its application feels appropriate for the build.

>>16300052

>Is this like a homing projectile type of deal or is the player's cursor actually snapping/being guided to targets?

According to him while playing as Huntress you don't have a fixed crosshair, your crosshair goes to the monster closest to the center of the screen and you shoot that one when you use your M1 or M2 skills.

Her R skill makes her jump and you can manually aim an AoE to make arrows rain there for a few seconds.

>>16299983

Still pretty arcadey, it's a very solid base for them. The items all still have uses. The controls are responsive aside from one time where I got stuck running left until I jumped, and it still captures the horde shooterlooter feel that the first game had. If they continue the trend it could easily be better than the first game imo. It is EA though which means it's a complete shitshow if it'll even be decent in a few months

>>16299791

You're still giving money to a shit company if you do decide to buy it.

Can you still play the multiplayer with a pirated version?

>>16300298

I'm fairly sure you can do that with just about any game and SmartSteamemu.

I know for a fact you can LAN games without LAN capabilities using it.

>>16299821

>Early access now means its out.

"Out" means released you faggot. Early access is a cash grab, not a release.

>>16299707

She can fire while sprinting in this one, probably as a nod to that.

>>16300744

You trade them for items with upsides and downsides. And 10 of them for a new character at the bazaar.

They also carry over between runs, as opposed to what I said earlier.

>>16300787

It should run OK until the fire level where the sheer number of particles can slow down any rig. It is 400mb installed.

>>16300811

>>16300811

Back to >>>/4um/ attentionwhore

>>16300873

Thanks, I don't know where the items appear though…

Could really benefit from a minimap, but the HUD is already extremely crowded.

This game is faithful to the original almost to a fault. I've only found a few items that weren't in the first. Luckily, Milky Chrysalis is fucking awesome.

>>16300860

Post if they reply.

>>16300971

Nevermind, the item appeared right in front of me this time.

The one I tried before was in a place I could only reach by flying and I have no idea what happened exactly.

>>16300987

I did so anonymously so I have no way of knowning

Damn, the version I pirated deletes my profile when I close the game. I wish I could buy it guilt-free but why did hopoo get fucking Gearbox of all companies to publish it, and you'd think you couldn't go worse than Chucklefucks.

>>16301188

I wouldn’t care if I knew Randy Cuckford would have absolutely no say in how it was developed, but with them publishing they probably hold some creative power

I guess it comes down to what you value more, not giving gearbox money, or supporting Hopoo who have a good track record of making genuinely good games. Albeit early access is concerning.

Bearing in mind that there's enough retards that will buy RoR2 without considering the Gearbox element, Gearbox will likely get what they want out of RoR2 as a producer without anons not buying the game, so I guess you could feel more guilt free in that your money will likely fully go to Hopoo without Gearbox seeing a cent.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the way I think publishers work is that they invest money into the game, the game releases, the initial profits go to the publisher until the game makes back the full investment and then some interest, and then the rest of the excess profits go straight to developers?

If that's the case then I'll be alright with putting money down for RoR2 when it actually releases.

>>16301254

I'm more interested in how much sway Gearbox has over the dev.

>>16301275

How much sway do you think Chucklefish had over RoR? Assume it wouldn't be any different.

>>16301284

I guess that solves that.

>>16301284

>designing community outreach

that was something that majorly hurt Mighty No 9, but I think I'll see what my cousin wants to do. We got a ridiculous amount of replay value out of the first game so if he wants to go half in on it I'll get it.

Are there any artifacts? Time for shitty glass runs with bombs everywhere? Any elite monsters?

>Risk of Rain 2 is out

>Implying early access is "out"

Fuck the hell off with that.

>>16301349

I would assume so and I already killed an elite monster and unlocked 2 characters.

A less than half of the items in the game and around a 4th of the playable characters are still in development.

All in all its still very fun but it feels more difficult than the last game. I guess its because people can get shot from multiple directions now which leads to absolute anal rape understandably.

>>16301349

>Are there any artifacts?

Not yet.

>>16299821

Minecraft hasn't been in beta since 2011 you retard nigger.

>>16301307

The game is good.

The combat is fun.

The music is nice.

The multiplayer is comfy.

>>16301355

The game feels polished already. Haven't run into any bugs yet, just some enemies and items falling off of cliffs. I haven't read any dev notes or anything but it looks like they're just adding more characters, items, and some sort of reward for the daily challenges, and probably some balance tweaks.

>>16301774

Is there any shitty business practices in there? Microtransactions? Planned DLC before release? etc.

>>16301776

None. The only thing is it's early access and incomplete. After level 4 the game loops around to the beginning, so you can autistically grind out for items and unlock shit, but you can't fight the last boss yet. There's a secondary currency called Lunar Coins that you collect, and when you get 10 of them you can unlock the tekno mage.

>>16301913

Also post your SID and I'll add you

I loved the first Risk of Rain, but I really don't get the point of this. Like, what am I to take away from this other than pure cash grab, even without Gearbox involved? "Hey, what if we took our stylized 2D platformer and turned it into a generic 3D over the shoulder shooter and changed nothing else about it?"

>>16301935

That's not exactly a small feat.

Does Hopoo even post on /agdg/ anymore?

Why the fuck is this fucking game on early access?

>>16301254

>then the rest of the excess profits go straight to developers?

If you really believe that, then you are an absolutely naive and ignorant fool.

>>16301947

This.

Hopoo probably won't even see a cent.

>>16301943

Oh, I don't disagree with you there, don't get me wrong. But why not just make an actual new game if you're going to that much effort, if it's not a cash grab? Imagine if Super Mario 64 was just a 3D version of Mario on the NES with no additional gameplay elements. People would give it shit and rightly so.

>>16301328

whelp, my cousin wants in on it so I got it. Also, how good of a rig do you need to run it? Doesn't look that heavy on graphics.

>>16301935

Looks like they just wanted to add another dimension to the gameplay and from the trailers it looks like they succeed. The boss fights in general look pretty nice.

>>16301962

>completely design the game from scratch with the same general gameplay expected from the previous entry in the series

I don't get the problem here

>>16301977

On top of this, people would complain if it was different too. You can't win either way.

I like it, I had fun in the hour and a half I played with my best buddy. I'm excited to play more with him tomorrow.

>he thinks he can come back and shill after leaving /agdg/ for reasons clearly related to the publisher.

Pathetic.

If only I wasn't so dead set on seeing 2k shed blood or show some kind of humility.

I feel like the mix is "Off" on a couple of songs, the Drums are way too prominent, and for shits and giggles I played the title track and the fight track on my Studio Monitors, and The snare drum just slices through the everything else, and the lower frequencies have no ducking.

I hope that gets fixed.

>>16299707

Shill thread.

>>16302358

The game runs really well on low power systems as well as on beefy game rigs. It's really well made to be playable by as many people as possible.

>>16301967

>>16302358

>Also, how good of a rig do you need to run it? Doesn't look that heavy on graphics.

It's actually pretty light. The entire game is less than half a gigabyte (~500 mb tops) and runs like butter on a hot plate.

>can I still direct connect without steam/play through LAN without Steam?

it has a host ID system now, not sure if it's entirely dependent on steam or not. when you set a lobby you get a long string of numbers as a clipboard copy on the top right of the menu and you share that. no port forward bullshit required.

>>16302098

Did you get the swamp? That teleporter consistently fucks me over, it seems to spawn in the water. I actually thought the game glitched and didn't give me a teleporter at all the first time.

Also, I want to get it so I can co-op with my brother, but gearbox? I don't know. This might be the first earlyaccess game I actually want. Should I? I mean of those 20 bux, how much of it is going to bitchford and co.?

>>16302459

Consider that Pitchford and co paid for the development of the game, so whatever money you pay pays that advance. Risk of Rain wasn't a huge game by any means, so RoR2 is probably not going to sell like gangbusters, so they'll probably clear the advance and not much more since most people don't care about arcadey gameplay like Risk of Rain provides. Hopoo aren't Gearbox employees, and Gearbox doesn't have any ownership in Hopoo so Gearbox paid them out whatever they negotiated for as well as a stake in the game's royalties generated after the initial advance is paid off.

After that they get a cut of the royalties, but how much of those royalties is probably under the terms of an NDA. I'd be willing to believe that there's a 30/50/20 split, with Gearbox taking 50% and Valve 30%.

>>16301915

Is it the same portal that takes you to the Bazaar or another one?

>>16302467

>Risk of Rain wasn't a huge game by any means

Steamspy has it at 1-2mil copies. Even if the average price was halved due to sales, and with a 30/50/20 split with Chucklefuck, that would be 1.5mil to the devs, which was what, two students and a commissioned indie musician with a kikestarter budget of 30k?

They probably could've published RoR2 independently if they were stringent with their RoR1 earnings. RoR2 probably(?) had a slightly larger team, but it's nothing insane.

I'm probably going to get it anyway since it looks like a good video game with no poz in the current year, but fuck them for making me give money to the pedophile magician.

>>16302553

I didn't defend Randy at all. Where did I do that? I'm pointing out that despite the publisher, the game didn't get fucked by Gearbox's indelible stain of awfulness, you retard.

>>16302566

>…, but….

You're still paying the jew's bills, even worse that he hasn't done anything to the game as you say

>>16302594

So you're saying that the tiny population of /v/ should forego having fun because of the possibility of giving money to people you don't like? News flash, I give money to people I don't like on a monthly basis, it's called rent and utilities. Who the fuck do you think runs the power company, or the ISP? Should I just shut everything off and sit in my house with no power, no internet, and no satisfaction in life all so I can smugly say "haha, I gave no money to the jews."

Oh wait, I did, because I pay taxes, because you can't not pay taxes. Snap back to reality, the game still had 36,000 peak players today, so even if I hadn't bought the game, that'd be at least 18,000 people who bought the fucking game. That's $360K, I don't think Randy Pitchford could give a shit less about my particular $20. Get fucking real mate. You live in a society, and like it or not, you and your family are paying money to "the jew" all fucking day long. One less isn't going to topple the shekel empire.

Link?

>>16302619

>snap back to reality

WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE NIGGER?

>>16302650

>screencap is from 2013

>pretty sure i came a few years before even that

Christ we've been here for almost a decade. What the fuck.

It's been a while since I've played the first one, but 2 feels a lot more slow-paced, how correct is it? Like there aren't a great many chests per level, but to compensate the difficulty growth is much slower. Also can't kill a single boss so far, but chalk that up to me

The core game is solidly made at any rate, so I'm looking forward to how it will evolve going forward.

Where's my main man Loader?

i miss Glass, holy shit.

>>16302917

I feel like it starts slower, but it ramps up a lot harder. It's also a lot harder to stay alive in the later levels since you can't see 360 degrees around you.

Another thing I noticed that I don't remember being in the first one is the difficulty meter jumping every time you portal. It jumps almost a bar length every time you jump to the next level. I don't remember the first one doing that.

>>16302999

>Trips can't see 360 degrees around him

Obviously you need to upgrade your station with more monitors.

What kills you ends up being the one shots most of the time, like the colossus boss's sustained laser beam which can easily chew through 1000 HP in about the second level after the loop. And fucking burn damage, that's a bitch too

I love how it's a translation into 3D, and it all works. Not sure if I like the new soundtrack, it isn't as catchy. Would also like to use the original's sound effects, maybe as a mod or an official option. The UI is pretty uncomfortable, I want to see my health and skills centered at the bottom, or integrated into the crosshair. Just too much going on visually compared to 1's minimalism.

Still, captures the feeling of the original and makes hours fly by, for the first time in years a game has done this.

>>16302917

It feels like it's almost faster than the original. The first few enemies show up much quicker in 2, and the more powerful ones come sooner. I'm really struggling to find the teleporter and chests, like there's not enough visual flair or outline for them. Not to mention 3D means things can hide behind the level, while in 2D you could see everything. I've found the bosses difficult too, but I'm in the process of learning their attacks, and figuring out when to dodge, etc. My strategy for the first stage is to find the teleporter asap, then collect as many items as I can, and activate the teleporter while it's still in easy. Managed to get through the 2nd level with hard, but then it switched to very hard on the 3rd level and I couldn't handle it.

This is exactly how I was when I first played RoR 1, and it's fun to have this feeling again.

>>16302935

>Where's my main man Loader?

Yeah, I want to play as him, too. Can't wait to see how his grapple and conduit are translated to 3D. Would also like to see Acrid in this game.

>>16302944

Gotta say I've been babied by Command + Glass, just makes the game so much smoother. Wondering what sort of new artifacts they'll add

>>16302999

I feel myself frantically looking around and behind me, need to get back into quake mode while playing this (did not expect that at all from a RoR sequel)

Didn't notice that about the difficulty meter. Makes time more important than ever.

Yeah but link ?

>>16302442

it was in the water in the far corner of the map between a wall and a log which was why i kept missing it

It's frustrating. The issue is for me there's no point playing a game in early access. Because I end up losing interest by the time the game comes out because I've already played half the game, take darkest dungeon for example.

The only thing that was really changed from early access to release was balance changes, some niche events and the darkest dungeon, then DLC.

So I picked it up and played the game in early access, I've already seen 80% of the core content, so then I have to wait upwards of a year for the game to be finished, then kind of trek through that 80% of content I've already played, just to see what else was added? That's kind of a hard sell, so I've never actually seen the darkest dungeon, because I don't want to play through the same section of game I've played through countless times before. I'm tired of it.

I guess with RoR, the whole concept is that it's highly repeatable & the fun is in being skilful with the characters, so that makes it a little different than darkest dungeon which is essentially dice rolls, but I still can't say I'd like to play it right now. I guess I'll just listen to the OST or something until it comes out.

>>16303022

Absolutely, especially for dudes like the merc with his million iframes. Even still you have blind spots in 3d unlike 2d side scroll and it's also a lot more difficult to keep track of your surroundings simply because you have so much more area to keep track of that you can't possibly watch it all simultaneously like you could in RoR1. Also making wisps fly means there are a lot more things in the sky than there were in the previous game.

>>16303070

In games like this, it's really necessary for good audio design. Sound effects from enemies spawning, attacking, etc tell you more than visual indication.

>>16303024

>Makes time more important than ever.

Well it works both ways since it would encourage faffing around and scavenging rather than bum rushing the portal and leaving yourself undergeared because the jumps ramped up the difficulty too quickly. You need to find the optimum balance of time spent scavenging to portal running to find items efficiently. I suspect the best way to go about it is to rush the portal and use the money you get from the fight to quickly buy things around you, then leave before you waste too much time.

>>16303127

I've been getting items before I teleport, because I suck at that fight and need the extra help. Seems like while the teleporter is activating, it locks off nearby (all?) chests and shrines, so you can't grab items mid-fight. I should try to just rush the teleporter before items, and see how that goes.

>>16303146

Every object outside the area in which you have to be in for the teleport to charge is locked until it gets charged. You can still get stuff close by however.

Has anyone figured out how to stop the Clay Dunestrider's healing move? That shit fucks me every single time.

>>16303106

Yeah audio is very important but nothing beats just seeing everything around you all at once.

>>16303146

Probably grab some items before the first portal if you need them but rush through the others.

Part of RoR is gitting gud with your class though. So far none have stood out as being exceptionally bad like enforcer was in the first game, but I haven't tried MUL-T yet and haven't unlocked the dude that costs 10 lunar coins yet. He looks new, I don't recognize them from the first game at all.

I miss my Miner bro. He felt like something out of DBZ once he got snowballed up. Bandito was a ton of fun as well. Hoping they add them later but it's Merc for me until then.

>>16303251

Out DPS it? If I can't I just run around and kill the adds since I'm pretty sure it heals off of them.

>Progress doesn't save

>Teleporter doesn't seem to ever spawn on second level

I guess I'm waiting for better pirated versions, then

Okay, I'm starting to get into it, though I do think the default sprint speed is too slow for how big the maps are. Teleporters and chests might use being more visible too.

Also Huntress seems JUST tier against flying bosses, seeing how her arrow rain hits the ground.

>>16302467

Fuck it, I can always pirate when it's complete and then host two player games with my brother.

Can Smartsteamemu reliably work with multiplayer games or is it just for pseudo-LAN?

>>16303652

The draw for huntress is that you don't have to aim since your attacks are homing. Just like the first game she's a bit of a scrub crutch but she's not so bad.

Also there are plenty of items that enhance your sprint speed so don't worry too much about that. I don't know if you played the first one but part of he main draw to the game was starting as a bumbling tosspot and becoming a ludicrously strong wave of death incarnate zipping through levels in a whirlwind of gore by the end.

>>16303721

>Also there are plenty of items that enhance your sprint speed

I know, I just think the levels are so big base sprint speed could use a boost on top of that. Just to not feel like so much of a slog searching for shit.

>I don't know if you played the first one but part of he main draw to the game was starting as a bumbling tosspot and becoming a ludicrously strong wave of death incarnate zipping through levels in a whirlwind of gore by the end.

I do and I know, but I also remember items being a bit more plentiful in the original to achieve that effect. Here it seems to simply allow to stay a bit on top. I get it's a base public build just to have a solid core to build upon though.

>>16303768

Its the same for first game really ur slow as shit thankfully they put in a sprint or u will just be dead.

Also huntress is pretty ass in this one ya nub easy in first game but her fourth skill is shit. I wouldnt doubt a change to it in the future. But just as long they keep the thicc ass in im fine

So far ive only been to the fourth world before getting slapped of course i have other shit like getting ready to move to a bigger place tomorrow.

>>16303708

Idk but i did a quick match and the game had like no lag to it which is great news cause i remember playing with you faggots in ror1 and that shit was laggy clusterfuck

Just got the artificer and the best thing about him is that I don't have to hold onto these damn coins any more. personally Im more enjoying MULT-Y and the engi

>engi turrets get all the items you do

>this includes bustling fungus turning them into super tanky heal bots as they never move

>3 fungus auras all stacking is great

also great fun to be had with the royal capacitor and its 20second CD if you are man enough to take down the overloading magma worm

I still haven't figured out how to get the mercenary

>>16303251

Run away

watch as it kills all your drones, everything else around it and heals to half health

keep shooting

I don't think you can stop it but you should be able to escape being sucked in if you still have your mobility skill up

speaking of drones that giant protoytpe drone is kinda neat but has a bad habit of getting stuck and just sitting in one spot which seems to make it not worth the cash

>>16303026

it is up in the share thread

>>16303851

what fucking hole did you crawl out of

Huntress has the fattest ass

3D paying dividends

>>16303943

It's not so much the fattest ass as she has legs to back up all that running.

>>16303933

looking at my stats I got like 15 runs in before getting the artificer but I know I got enough coins a few runs before that because I couldn't get a portal. I eventually learned that you can spend a coin at a newt idol to force the portal to open when you beat the teleporter

I feel like it's a lot easier to get the coins in the first couple of stages before things get too hectic, just don't move on to the next target too fast or just double check if you can. the coins don't autopickup for some dumb reason. I get the feeling that they might despawn if you get to far away or you don't pick them up later because I never found one in an area I already fought in looking for the teleporter

>>16303768

I've found the item rates to be okay and the levels to be about the right size, but chests, and the teleporter are often difficult to spot. Compared to the first where you can just hop through levels picking up chests as you go, the chests were obvious so you didn't have to do much hunting. Now most of them seem half buried or tucked between rocks and corners and hard to tell at a distance whether it's opened already or not. It makes me need to hunt around a lot more than before.

Also correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall chests in multi-player games gave items universally to players in the first. One person would open the chest, but it would drop an item for everyone. It wasn't necessarily the same item, but you didn't have to ration out chests because everyone got a piece. That's not the case in this game. One chest is one item for one person. I don't know if I like that; it has people fighting over chests and stealing drops or camping on the teleporter so they can snatch up all the drops.

>>16303880

Merc plays nearly identical to how he was in the first game. Abuse iframes and cooldown reduction and never touch the ground. Last game I played with my brother playing engineer I had nearly 4million total damage while he barely broke 750k and it wasn't like he was just sitting around either.

I don't remember how I unlocked him since it was an accident but he was the second dude I got after huntress so I doubt it's that hard.

>Also correct me if I'm wrong

You're wrong.

I swear 80% of /v/ refuse to play videogames and are just here to astroturf their dead franchises (looking at you wpsg and wurmfags, I'll never forgive you for abandoning the tar kilns in eastern reach)

Game is fun, I didn't pay shit for it, horde shooters with air-dodging and super fucking fast stacked movement options are rare. I don't like that the enemy health scaling goes so absurd if you spend too long in a level beacues you can't fucking find the exit (usually hidden in a dimly lit corner where it doesn't contrast with the ground). At least MULT lets you circumvent enemy health scaling by just using the railgun to pop 5 popcorn enemies at once next to a boss to detonate it with on-kill / on hit effect cascades.

>>16302459

just FUCKING PIRATE IT YOU INGRATE

csrinru crack works with multiplayer, singleplayer, whatever. confirmed on my setup, even stole all the items from some random guy in a public game.

Just made a quick play of RoR1, you guys are probably right in saying loot isn't that much rarer. However, ability cooldowns are nearly half in 1 than they are in 2, and pickups and portals are highlighted vividly. I can understand cooldowns because you have more movement options to dodge shit, but clearly they should bring back highlights. The game gains nothing by making pickups and teleporters blend in the background.

>>16303628

Did you search for the particle effect that indicates where the teleporter spawned? Sometimes a piece of it spawns inside the level geometry.

>>16303766

Frost Relic now is a red item. Relics when?

Command WHEN?

>>16304229

The game definitely needs it as long as they continue to clip halfway through the terrain. Also friendly monsters and turrets could use it as well. The tiny arrow above their heads is barely noticeable when shit is hitting the fan.

I have seen the light and is MUL-T with the black hole cube, Brilliant Behemoth and Will-o-wisps. Got me Mercenary in solo.

No they're fucking not. There's two "clean steam files" you can't access without logging in, and a google drive link that's been taken down for violating the terms of service.

I've played some more with the artificer and I gotta say that what she is is a multiplayer/specialist class, really good in some areas and really bad in others mainly vs air but if you got a buddy to help you out then you can really clean house on everything else

>>16304080

you say that but I've managed to unlock everybody else but him. so I might just be retarded

Yes, just slot the cream fix into your steam installation and remove it when you're done playing with pirates. I tested with a buyfag and he had his ingame profile (item history, unlocks) reset while playing with the crack, but unlocked things again normally.

>>16305186

You're literally retarded. It's a new game, people played it and had fun playing it, and there's a multiplayer crack that lets you play it with other pirates or buyfags. If you're too stupid to find the crack and game source you should be shunned for being underage and/or mentally disabled, just like how nobody should explain how to use exhentai or get into useful private trackers.

I had Risk of Rain on my Vita, it sucked dicks. There was no point in playing it because no matter how good you were doing eventually your abilities would cause the game to crash. I would keep building up my warbanner and bardwire and shit and eventually everything shit a brick and died. Basically the game was a race to see how far you could get before the piece of shit broke.

There's nothing new on the cs.rin.ru forums so far so I guess that's all anyone can do right now unless they want to jump through a bunch of hoops to get shit working.

>>16305612

You'd probably need something a lot fancier than the crack used for this game - this crack depends on actually using steam's servers to play the multiplayer, like with the paradox grand strategy game cracks that play through "spacewar".

It's not likely anyone will make a better crack than this one either, so either repurpose one of the standard singleplayer steam cracks for games that don't have additional drm yourself (not really that hard) or buy it.

It seems promising but Im worried they'll go full kike with currency in the future. Also whats the deal with daily challenges?

Anyone else stuck at the "thanks for playing" screen? It worked fine yesterday but everytime I start I can't click the continue button.

How do you deal with that Clay dunestrider tentacle attack? Feels like if it grabs you it just kills you.

this was the second point against these developers especially because steam green light had existed at this time, they did not need a publisher.

All in all it might be worth the 20 bucks if you can get somebody to pay for half as I think it’ll be good after a couple updates, but it’s more or less a demo now.

I was a huge fan of Risk of Rain 1 and more or less 100%ed it. I think this game looks completely disgusting to the point where it's an insult to the original and it seems to be lacking almost everything I enjoyed about the original. The art style sucks, there was no need to change to 3D, and it just doesn't look fun at all. Plus I can't believe people are actually supporting Early Access, which is one of the more persistent issues killing the games industry. I don't understand why people here are gobbling this up. And none of them actual fans of the original?

Why are you on a video game internet message board if you hate videogames and don't want to see people talking about videogames?

Other people are playing videogames and you're welcome to join them, even without paying, and you're just bitching about muh forum subversion campaigns.

Crying shill and derailing every legitimate conversation about real videogames (not trash mmo garbage, gatcha, or console warriors who think at a 500ms latency in videogames and real life) is classic forum manipulation too.

Now that I've had a chance to play around with all the characters.

MUL-T>Artificer>Engineer>Mercenary>Commando>Huntress

Huntress is nigh useless. Lowest health pool, lowest damage, sprinting and shooting is useless because of how sprinting works generally means you're forced into running at an enemy to take advantage of it, which means you die. I think that Huntress needs to be able to sprint and freelook, so she can shoot whilst running away from or even around enemies without losing sprint and getting shit on.

Arrow Rain blows for hitting aerial enemies.

Artificer also has a better ass I bet.

>>16307429

MUL-T>Engineer>Mercenary>Commando>Huntress>Artificer

>>16307450

>surprised by the magic nigger cliche at this point

Why would you do this?

>>16307466

It's more that I didn't notice the character was black, just thought it was another skintight suit or something until I actually looked at her in the logbook.

>>16307503

Wait anon, how have you managed to remove all the garbage off Artificer's back?

Friend of mine bought it and gave me his free copy. Here are the first impressions.

The translation to three dimensions is a very, very good one. RoR 1 soured on me very quickly because deaths rarely felt fair; either the screen was so full of shit that you had literally nowhere to go, or the bullet sponge enemies slowed you down so much that allowing the difficulty to rise was inevitable. The third dimension allows you to prioritize targets, dodge attacks, and utilize the environment is much more meaningful ways, other than just perching slightly out of an enemy's range and cheesing them to death. And most importantly, TELEPORTERS NO LONGER REQUIRE YOU TO KILL EVERY SINGLE MOTHERFUCKING ENEMY ON THE GODDAMN MAP, THANK FUCK. So yeah that's good too.

I've unlocked Huntress and a new character, a mode switching robot guy. Commando is still basically the same as he ever was, extremely over-reliant on on-hit effects (so you get absolutely fucked if you don't roll those), but I like how they made his piercing shot work, and manually aiming covering fire is interesting. Huntress is actually balanced now, since EVERYONE can move and shoot, Huntress just gets sprint and shoot. I do like her high mobility with no items, since she gets a super-jump when she uses the arrow rain now, and Warp travels farther forward, but not so much of a fan of her low DPS and auto lockon. Still, I like the frantic feel of having to constantly keep the momentum up or let all the enemies and their projectiles catch up with you and shred your tiny health bar. The robot is my favorite so far, he has a short range rapid fire nailgun, and a rebar gun that charges up then pierce-hitscans for big damage. Ridiculously good with a crowbar. He can also go ramming speed which is also fun.

Biggest disappointment so far is missing flavor text. Trancendance has a pretty good one though.

>>16307565

The faster the robot mul-t goes the more damage his ramming speed does. Get him some goat legs and the boomer juice to get going super fast and deal massive damage.

>>16307565

>>16307573

Its not like as if their Jewbisoft, Activision or EA, who pump out shitty broken and microtransaction games yearly.

Almost every vidya company makes a few bad games in their time.

Capcom redeemed themselves recently yet they are responsible for the piles of shit that are DMC2 and DmC:DMC.

They embezzled money from Capcom originally given to develop Alien: CM and instead they used it for Memelands 2.

>>16307904

All this shit is aside from the fact that they're not even developing this, just publishing

Chucklefuck was just as bad- possibly even worse since that entire company was built out of directly scamming customers through crowdfunding- yet everyone still played the first game just fine

>>16307925

*Sega, not Capcom.

>>16307925

Hey if the company gives you bad vibes in any way shape or form, by all means wait for it to reach 1.0 or pirate the game.

I do it all the time too. I just never really hear anything bad coming out of Gearbox unlike Konami, Capcom, Activision, Chucklefuck and EA.

I can't find it in me to give a single smidgen of a shit about randy pitchford, he can cry all he wants, he means nothing to me.

>>16307904

They stole the art style for Borderlands from some guy they initially brought in to do the art design, but then decided they didn't want to work with him. So they just used it anyway and didn't pay him.

Their games are horribly designed. All enemies have braindead AI and the gameplay entirely revolves around bulletsponges. Not to mention the writing and acting is pretty sub par. Meme humour doesn't age well, and is lazy as fuck.

Borderlands 2 had the initial drop rate for legendaries set to something ridiculous like 0.000001% drop chance. This was because you could spend real money to buy golden keys to open a chest that had a good chance of dropping legendaries. Shitty microtransactions, thy name is Gearbox. Of course Gearbox are incompotent so you could just edit an .ini file to alter the drop rates… But in a loot based game locking your best loot behind a paywall is scummy as fuck.

They knowingly released broken as fuck games and don't care. They didn't just siphon cash Sega gave them from Aliens to Borderlands, they also passed development off to some 3rd tier chechslovakians and gave them no support.

They deliberatly made a fake "vertical slice" of Aliens to market it, knowing that this was not representative of the game, to trick people out of their cash.

That's just off the top of my head.

>but you're just making half assed excuses right now.

You are ignorant and your ignorance leads you to believe that others are misleading you. Next time educate yourself before you start throwing shade on other people for not liking something. Especially a video game company. They're all shyster kikes. Blind trust is not something they deserve, let alone have earned.

why are the graphics so bad? looks like a mix of numale sky and that indie cell shaded car combat game.

its almost flash tier 3d.

the game looks like it could be kind of fun

the original risk of rain is like a combination of a bunch of unoriginal 2d indie concepts.

>metroidvania

>roguelike

>2d pixel shit

the only things its missing is "retro platformer" and a bunch of meme jokes.

The mobility on her is too amazing for me to consider her bad.

>>16308007

Don't use "metroidvania" as a synonym for "sidescroller"

>>16307779

>less manoeuvrability

>commando dodge roll on 4 sec cooldown instead of huntress 7 second cooldown blink

>>16308008

Everything you describe there Commando does it better because Commando has more damage & health.

>stack gasoline and will o wisp

>Everything lines up for you

>Phase Round

>Explosions everywhere

>Using blink to teleport vertically

Not just rolling UP THE FUCKING WALL as commando.

Or driving up the wall as MUL-T

>>16308008

>blink can be used to teleport vertically and saves money on booster pads

wait, you mean the blue vent things that send you high?

those cost fucking money to bounce on?

>>16308029

Strange how someone who hasn't given the game more than a cursory glance hates it. People like you should fuck off right back to cuckchan.

>>16307450

>Artificer is black.

where the hell are you getting that from?

>>16300068

after playing i can confirm this. the huntress is the only character with ato aim, but it also prevents her from attacking anything beyond a set range which is really bad in my experience

Anyone want to start up a run real quick? Post your clipcode ID.

I personally need lunar shekels to get the artificer.

>>16308030

You're still more evasive with huntress since you can strafe while attacking, not having to line up for hits as they are homing.

Flying around with the milky moth thing as you drive-by shoot is just satisfying.

>>16308216

thanks for explaining the joke since my dumb sleep deprived ass was too slow to catch it, that’s pretty funny

anybody figure out what the shrine of order does? other than wasting my coins that is

>>16308524

fug, meant that for >>16308030

Really though, they do outright tell you that the game's not actually finished yet, so obviously if you're not certain you want it you should wait until it releases

>>16308820

I love merc, toss a couple of bandoliers on him and he never has to touch the ground. But fuck elder lemurians and burning elites. Those niggers fuck him up hardcore. Getting shotgunned by elder flame breath in the briefest window I'm out of i-frames has ended about 80% of my runs. Melee can be suffering.

>>16308862

Wandering vagrants are a pain in the ass too with their AoE BIG DAMAGE. I can usually time it right with eviscerate to dodge it, but fighting more than one at a time will quickly become a problem.

>Bazaar outside of time

>Timer still runs

So the rusted key, what's the purpose of that?

Also just had my first gold portal, fucking hell.

>>16309040

Rusted key has a chance to spawn a free unlocked chest every level. It's about half the size of a regular chest, dark brown, and much more rectangular. It blends in with the environment very easily so it can be difficult to spot.

>>16309051

>It blends in with the environment very easily so it can be difficult to spot.

Better than the invisible chests

>>16309067

Yeah I've only found one of those, what's with that? Are they any better than regular chests? Doesn't seem like it.

>>16309070

I doubt it but it's basically a free item every time you come across it so it kinda pays for itself eventually.

>>16309070

They're just chests except you pay with time and luck instead of cash

>>16309175

Stack a few rusted keys and it makes lockboxes almost always drop reds. Every key makes lockboxes rarity increase.

>>16309175

I've played ~13 stages on normal and found 4 coins. You probably get less of them on babbymode, and probably more on hard(?)

So does it feel like a good fast paced shooter like Serious Sam?

>>16309275

>That rant about Huntress

>Saying that huntress is worse than commando and engineer

Fuck you nigger. Invite me to your lobby via clipboard and I'll show you how good she can be.

>>16309349

Huntress is definetly good but she struggles funny enough against flying enemies, mostly against the worm and she has the worst M1 of the entire game. She really needs attack speed but that's about it, her rain obliterates ground enemies, her glaive is borderline OP and her blink is the best movement ability in the game which gets even better when she has 3 dashes.

>Early access

no thanks

>>16309379

Her kiting game is insane too, her blink can get her out of any sticky situation in an actual flash, the glave can clean up any thick crowd pretty damn quickly, but I never found much use with her arrow rain though besides the extra little bit of damage.

As long as you can keep enemies on her tail then they're done for, including late game bosses.

If anyone complains about her being shit, then they must be the one who is doing a shit job as playing as a character that is as easy as her.

>>16309386

>lolno

<Actually afraid to get proven wrong therefore BTFO

Thats what I thought.

>>16309386

>as far as I have seen, he s

Steamrolls harder than engineer I meant to say. You're basically just hopping between blinding assault and eviscerate without ever touching the ground. You're only out of i-frames for in the brief moment that it takes to aim and fire again, but otherwise you're just zipping through levels eating everything as you go.

Engineer is pretty good, but playing using turrets as heal zones and entrenching yourself is too static for late game. I don't think you can have enough bustling fungus and other shit to out heal damage and you need to keep moving to get through levels at a reasonable rate. It's strong, it's just too slow.

>>16309428

Fireniggers punching right through i-frames is pretty horseshit. When you don't have any other avenue of attack it's pretty aggravating to deal with. Honestly I think there's an issue with fire damage in general, like the decimal is in the wrong place or something because they do magnitudes more damage than practically everything else. Barely getting tapped by something like a fire titan is practically a death sentence.

>>16309619

Fire is definitely bs. Not sure if the seed is still up, but the current (or most recent) prismatic trial has fire titan as stage 2 boss. I lost so many runs to that shit (as merc) because I didn't know his laser procs fire damage. The base laser doesn't do much damage when it's only 5 min in and you're very much ahead of the enemies, but the fire ticks grow immensely, so I lose 40 hp, teleport out of the laser beam, then suddenly I have -100/200 hp. Took me a while to figure out the laser was causing fire. Very annoying because it was on the plains and the teleporter pretty much never has good cover there.

His aoe fire is also immensely damaging if you accidentally get close to him on the ground, but if you're playing merc correctly, at any given time you will be in your 2 dash abilities, slashing him in the air, or slashing while standing on the boss as you can reset your jumps and cooldowns yet won't get hit by the aoe fire.

>>16309619

Say that to my 2000 hp a tick mushrooms (I got 3 of the horns)

>>16309866

That's what I was noticing too. It seems to be an issues mainly with burning elite variants and elder lemurians. Getting set on fire by anything else barely registers but those two things seem to do unreasonably high damage for some reason.

>>16309881

That sounds hilarious but even still it might not cut it due to the gap in between ticks, especially when you're dealing with nonsense that seems to be capable of doing twice your health in damage like those aforementioned elder lemurians. I've watched those faggots drop me from around 1000 health to -881 in an instant before. Something definitely seems off about them.

>>16309905

It worked out well enough that I had to AFK to die. I got the long road unlock that run.

>>16310115

It's unfinished right now, but it's fun enough if you enjoyed the first game. It has potential in it's current state.

Now you said you never played the first game, the question becomes do you want to be a dude shooting the shit out of everything that moves between you and a teleporter, while paying money to open random chests that can have good things like a teddy bear, or shitty things like a medkit?

>>16310127

Well I got a lot of mileage out of the binding of isaac, and I also enjoy TPSs. Is it kinda like that?

>>16310115

It's still early access and it feels like it. Levels get repetitive since there's no real varaition on layout, only variance in where shit is located but the first game was the same way initially too so the guy will likely add additional layouts later. Lots of items and a few characters are unfinshed as well. The base game is there and it's fun in its current state but we're missing about 40% of the polish. Hopoo has a pretty good track record up to this point so I'm fairly confident it's not going to turn into abandonware before it releases like most early access titles do.

I'd recommend playing the first one to be honest. It's still a fantastic game and it's feature complete.

>>16310145

Not really. It's kinda like EDF but with ramping difficulty and stacking permanent power ups. Binding of Isaac was more about getting through carefully, this is more shit hitting the fan horde management.

>>16310168

Only in that it's a third person shooter man vs horde kind of game. Really though the first one is better at the moment. I'd wait until this one is more finished.

>>16310336

I guess by just dropped I actually meant about 8 hours ago but whatever.

>>16310077

Yeah, I killed some once I realized that you could. I was wondering if maybe it triggered something if you killed enough of them. It could also be a tech demo aspect to show that the game could process things going on far away from the player, but the same effect is achieved by starting up a gun turret and then abandoning it to do something else.

I also noticed that the lizard in the bazaar has a health bar, but launching everything I had at it did jack shit. Has anyone managed to kill the thing?

>>16310195

I just hope more enemies than what we can see as locked out in the log book are planned. The bosses are fine, just that it needs more as the variety is pretty weak at the moment. I'd actually prefer more bosses over more characters.

>>16310369

>>16309349

I need a link, they can't do this to best robot.

>>16311019

Fug ignore me Huntress fag, your waifu a shit.

Is there a secret area on every level? I already found the cave in the swamp and the buttons in the desert.

>>16311167

Don't think so? I've found those too but don't think there's anything else right now.

Only other potentially interesting stuff is the island/s out in the abyss in the celestial portal and anything that could be hidden in the gold portal? But the rate of finding those portals and having the gear to properly explore any potential secrets is obnoxiously low.

>>16311180

In the snow area there is a weird island that has a cage looking thing on it that you can't get yet, trust me I tried for way too long and there is a weird looking cargo containers high up in the cliff wall where I think you could fly to but I haven't seen that damn wing/gyrocopter thing now that I actually want it. Apparently there is something funky going on in the bazaar too, but the steam forums are hush hush about it. I saw some people saying that there is something hidden in there, but gave no additional info.
