Timotheous Venture posted:That's awesome! I'm glad you're sticking with it in spite of the updates screwing you over a couple times. I've been lucky and haven't had any issues with crashes/software updates myself but I still feel like the lack of a mid-run save is pretty inexcusable. Hopefully something gets done about in a future patch. Thanks, yeah. I had no intention to quit. I really do love the game. just a really frustrating week losing most of my runs to rest mode. I really hope they find some better solution soon. Mostly was just using the PS5 thread to vent I think I lost about 8-10 hours total over the course of the week because of it. it really sucked, but I had the time today, made some real progress and auto updates are off. I'm ready to get frustrated by the game for the right reasons again now instead of because of it breaking on me lol. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 08:22 on May 9, 2021 |

Arkage posted:I was able to beat the game in about 20 hours, 24 deaths. Probably pretty average. But drat once you know how to play the game, it really gets much easier to run. Just did my first 1-3 clear with next to no issues, with a poo poo ton of artifacts and money and protection boost. Protection really is the OP stat of the game it seems, as it lets you eat shots without much concern. My main issues right now are I find barely any artifacts, protection ungraded and never seem to have enough money. I'm in biome 5 getting my rear end kicked.

Not sure if it'll be of any help to anyone, but it seems as though some of the scout logs appear as a result of things you do in the game. Number 10 for example showed up for us when we had collected a bunch of parasites in biome 1, and I pretty sure another only showed up when I used a reconstructor in one of the biomes.

When you get to 100% on one of the gun buffs like Crucial Hit, what does that do?

Oh god drat it. I had a great run through biomes 4-6 getting the post-game key fragments in one go. I thought I could be done with it, but apparently I need one more run.

Yeah to further break down what the other person said just now - when the trait shows a percentage, you haven’t unlocked it yet and by using that gun you’ll increase the percentage until it hits 100% and the trait actually unlocks.

I really enjoy all of the game part of this but boy did I hate the story and ending. Stylistically everything looks great and the story unfolds in a really great way but the story itself is not at all what I wanted. Ambiguous Lost dying dream, purgatory, paradox, whatever interpretation you have of it story of grief is just is not what I wanted out of this game.

I'm at 5 deaths and 7 hours. Not sure if it counts idle menu time since then it's probably 6 hours. Still haven't breath the first boss though. She had hot left and I died in the second time I got to her. I didn't get the astronaut on the run after the first time I got him. I couldn't go in the house that time. Is that random?

I’d say make sure you’re planning to get to an enemy right after killing it to get the money nearly every time, especially if it’s a bigger one, as it disappears quick. Dodge constantly on your way in and out of grabbing the money. I’m doing a 3-6 run now and it was a bit tough with protection -5% for this run (don’t even know why), very few healing items and not much in the way of beneficial artifacts. I had to spend some ether to get money to buy stuff like a healing item and astronaut, but ether is somewhat common in these areas if you make sure to run every path. Also prioritize using weapons with protection (hardened) or health leech, or if neither of those are available than use weapons that do DOT so you can fire a few times then run/dodge away, repeat.

There's a leech rounds trait for the carbine but whenever I use it it seems to go off maybe once per 1.5 reloads, and not for very much. Higher ranks might be better but right now it involves lots of risk for little healing.

I think the concept of AAA space-themed roguelike is fantastic. However, I don't think anyone will remember the story in a positive light. There is no comparison to something like Hades which has a legitimately good and touching story.

Leech worked pretty well for me even at level 1. I was getting maybe 4-5 heals for a full enemy room which is pretty good. But by then I already had 3 or so other perks unlocked on the carbine too. Also that shield in the video increases your damage I think? Arkage fucked around with this message at 23:28 on May 9, 2021 |

Higher ranks might be better but right now it involves lots of risk for little healing. I snagged a leech round carbine for the third boss and it made the boss trivial, my health just kept replenishing. I then powered on and beat biome 4 boss on the first go, what a great boss fight, the build up music was just fantastic.

Man gently caress that room in Biome 5 where once you grapple across a big chasm, the only way to continue is through a challenge room.

Yeah, it seems like the grapple point back should be easily within the crazy range you have but nope, you just fall and take extra damage before the challenge room if you try.

Goddamn the Platinum looks rough. I really hope some of this horseshit is accidental; the activity cards are glitching out and not showing any details or completion, and I've done three straight runs of 1-3 and not found a single new cipher or the running joke that is scout log 9. I also still haven't seen a player corpse. Thinking I'll move onto something else now because fun as it is to replay this I don't feel like there's really anything left in this game, and replaying it endlessly for RNG collectibles sounds miserable frankly.

What a fight, I was shaking afterward. I really love that the bosses in this game are more about being gigantic audio/visual spectacles rather than just The Hard Thing at the end of a level. Reaching a boss is the reward for getting through your current biome; it's not a difficulty spike keeping you from the next one (with the possible exception of the first one when the player is still learning the game). I also love that none of them have trash-mob adds. Now they just need to add a boss-rush mode so I can get high and play that on a loop.

I'm well into about 100 into the game and in biome 1 keep running into the same rooms behind the blue triangle doors looking for the scout #9 log, apparently it's a fairly common room early in game since it talks about parasites but I guess I finished biome 1 too easily and it never spawns now that i'm well after act 3? Always run into the same rooms every run with nearly 0 variation. I've seen youtube videos of people finding it well after act 3 but I must have some really bad factors or something. This big room with the fabricator  This room with the small pool  This room with the glowy orb  room with the ressurector  And the archives room  And this room with the locked chest  I should just give up since it's driving me insane but I figure i'll get it THIS time  A few times I got a room with the boss-trap-chest! But that is about it.
