pirate it and find out, I did the exact same thing and disliked it

If you can get past the shitty checkpoint system it’s a masterpiece

It's alright. It's organic in that it has a goofy physics and ai system where cool shit can accidentally happen, and the setting is pretty unique.

Its the kind of game that youll either adore or hate. Id say buy it and give it a shot. Youll know within 2 hours if its for you or not, then you can refund it if youre not interested.

Rainworld threads on Yea Forums are maximum comfy

It's wondrous and there isn't anything else quite like it, so yes.

The most interesting "virtual world" of any game I've played desu. It's odd and refreshing to see a game that truly does not give a shit if you have fun/succeed. Also when "random gods" starts playing as you approach 5 pebbles is one of the best set-pieces of all time.

Have you ever seen that drawing of a guy having to fight the waitress to eat his plate of fun? It's like that

I have never been more tense playing a game in my life than I was after getting out of unfortunate development. Getting the shit slapped out of you over and over again really makes you anxious once you get through it.

Now tell him to play Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon

I can agree with this. I wasn't satisfied playing it so I uninstalled it but I might give it another shot later. I like the concept of being a relatively weak creature in an oppressive environment and needing food and shelter, but from what I remember, I might have fallen prey to some A.I. annoyances (excessive camping in the one spot I needed to go) and control mishaps to not warrant continuing. Granted, I didn't get far. I got tired of sitting through the door opening scene over and over again between areas just to get flooded by rain before having time to reach the first shelter of a new area. One change to put a shelter close to the doors on either side of an area would alleviate that problem.

Major update came out recently.
>I fucking hated this game
Go away then.

I flip-flopped back and forth between "This is one of the greatest games ever made" and "the devs should be publicly castrated", but by the time I got to memory crypts and five-pebbles I was 100% on how fantastic the game is

Meme game, just like Hollow Knight. 2D games shouldn't be in the same conversation as normal games. I like them. but most (save a few like Rayman, Shadow Complex, Cuphead, Strider), are memes. Never as good as people say. The pixel-art ones especially.

fallout 3 : stalker :: hollow knight : rain world

>Cuphead is good

This alone was enough to invalidate your entire post, nice bait.

I loved the fuck out of it. Even when it's doing shit like THIS.

It's definitely a polarizing game. There is no leveling up, or getting powerups to get past tough spots. Progress is really based on player skill and understanding.

It was my choice for indie of the year, and that's up against the very strong Hollow knight,

>hurr durr you cant enjoy slow pacing
shit. I love slow pacing. I don't like having nothing to do. Seriously man. I've played games like this before and liked them. I just don't like this one. I love the world. I just don't like the game play. You just... keep moving forward. I can't explain it, and I understand nothing I said here is a real criticism. I'm just annoyed at getting strawmanned.

>Meme games
>Never as good as people say.
The first I don't understand, the second isn't really a criticism of the games themselves.
Neither Fallout 3 or Hollow Knight are shit (it's a strong word), but they're definitely mediocre lowest common denominator games.

I have very little conception of how to do most of those. Shame too, because there's a single data point in the garbage wastes that I can't get to.

Fallout 3 is shit.

t. only played through Outskirts

>because there's a single data point in the garbage wastes that I can't get to.

If you're referring to the one on the ceiling, you can impale a spear onto the ground with a backflip (turn around and jump after you've gathered some speed) or use one of those shellbug things that go pop

I don't like it either, but like Zhuangzi said, it's all relative.

Yeah honestly. But I don't make it a point to play to completion every game I don't like. I only got so many hours in my life. Can you tell me what changes?

No you fucking loser.

I somehow got the impression that this game had mystery solving a la The Witness.
Does it have that or is it just straight up exploration?

The second half of the game is a buddhist-influence reflection on why why fight to stay alive if you find that interesting. Also the visual and audio design continually gets better until the ending if that's worth anything to you.

>Can you tell me what changes?
No because I can't be arsed to fill several posts to character limit. Go read a wiki.
But you missed 95% of content.

That changes everything.

to be fair it's pretty fucking hard to get it right even when you are able to backflip consistently

I actually tried to do exactly this for like three minutes before giving up, I could never line up the timing well.

So why did it take 2 years for this game to start receiving the love and recognition it deserves?

Attached: 1491940014922.jpg (453x1080, 35K)

Outskirts is the introductory area. Things are deliberately slow, with the slowest, dumbest enemies, so new players can learn the mechanics and the controls. The best part is when the various critters start interacting with each other or the weird trippy 2001 Buddhist shit, and you missed out on pretty much every interesting interaction in the game.

You didn't give a particular reason why you found it boring, so there's nothing really to address. It's perfectly fine to dislike the shit you dislike, without any justification at all, and to bail out whenever you feel like it. . Just keep in mind your opinion is based on the tutorial level.

hot

Watch some advanced slugat actions. It's something the game is very bad at teaching you, and it's mindblowing. It plays like an entirely different game.

Because based Matthew "nugow is mediocre" Matosis praised it.

Because obscure hard Indie game with pixel art style.
And because it released right around Hollow Knight which took everyone by storm.

Rain World gained traction before it was even on Matt's radar.

i love how little the game cares about the comfortability of the player. it's obvious the devs made this with an extremely clear vision in mind, and they didn't bow to preconcieved notions of difficulty or accessibility in fulfilling that vision, and for that they have my utmost respect. It's going to be a long time before we see anything as wholy unique as this again

Is the Switch version still fucked with crashing issues?

Still screenshots make it look like pixelshit.

Completely bashed by mainstream critics.

From a publisher most famous for meme games like rainbow unicorn attack, and surgery intern whatever the fuck it's called.

Zero track record from the creators. This is their first game.

Hard as fuck.

The mindblowing "city of tears" moment happens something like 15 hours in on a reasonably fast playthrough, possibly up to 90 hours in on a slow one.

Came out in a super busy indie time, so Hollow knight got the attention.

So the traction it did get was grassroots as hell, from people who loved the fuck out of it.

I went through that area carrying 3 colored gems and those pop rock niggers knocked them out of my hands so many times I wanted to die.

even if you go the complete wrong way to start there's no way a playthrough takes more than 40 hrs.

How many fucking lizards are there all cockblocking me at the same time?

I thought that got patched.

Wow, those are some weird looking delicious bats flying around her head.

took me 20 hours playing white slugcat first.

i wouldn't say 'fucked' but it happened twice to me at launch. dunno about patches.

it kind of really isn't, though. sure feels like it, but the amount of content really is just one guy making maps for a couple years.

dude just throw rocks to distract them lmao

i've played about 50 or so hours and i've had about 4 crashes so far, so yes it's an issue, and it sucks since quitting a game in progress penalizes you but it's not a huge deal

that's what it said in the patch notes but it's definitely still there, especially in comparison with the PC version (that is, in handheld mode at least, can't vouch for docked mode)

The map is fucking huge, and non linear. If you don't have enough git good, like knowing how to get past a lizard on level ground, or deal with a big jump, it can take quite a while.

I went in with no map, and didn't get to 5p until about 120 hours in, and missed moon.

Grapple worm, squidcada, or big dick spears everywhere?

No, slugcat no!

That's the route I took my first playthrough. Remember that you need to embed a spear in the wall in order to make it past the lizard party. Also, keep your eyes peeled for invisilizards.

some framerate issues, bad in spots. and a few crashes.
it works for the console perfectly, though, so it's worth.

Green ones are chads, but I take pity on blue ones
Purple ones tend to be the most pretty

I suspect a lot of people dropped this game out of sheer frustration, and then came to love it after giving it a second chance.
At least that's how it went for me. I bought this game back in April, and even requested a refund, but was denied because I'd played something like 4 hours.
I began playing again this January because it was just sitting on my list. I really started enjoying the game more and more, the more I slowly figured out the quirks of the heavy controls and the AI.

Completed my first hunter playthrough not many weeks ago, and it's among one of my favorite games now.

I love to murder white lizards. Those cunts think they're so fucking sly but all it takes is one spear to make them turn into a fruity cowardly rainbow lizard.

Sorry you're still not feeling the controls, they're not for everybody
>The art and ecosystem mechanics are cool, the art world story and music are all top notch
If you really feel this way, I advise you to keep going. You quit right before the best and most atmospheric stretch of the game. Sometimes I'll just be going about my day and I'll randomly think of /that part/ and have to take a few minutes to reflect and drool over the memories.

When exactly can I start trusting scavs? I've gotten the Chieftain and I've hung with my Chimney Canopy bros for like 10 cycles just killing shit, even saved them a couple of times. Those guys were cool, but I got into the Shaded Citadel and like some cunt randomly spears me while I'm minding my own business. What do these fucking cunts want from me?

How do karma flowers work on survivor and hunter? On monk, I know they pop up all over the place, but now that I'm trying survivor out, they seem to only show up erratically.

different tribes in each area

You NEVER trust scavs.

Karma Flowers have set locations they show up in, and that's usually limited to 1-2 areas per region. They'll show up again after a while if you eat them, and Karma Flowers tend to show up where you died if you had one previously. Karma Flowers are completely absent in Hunter.

I was under the impression that reputation was universal among Scavs, so getting Chieftain at least lets you stop worrying about them killing you with no provocation.

You only get a few of them near certain save points. You have to pick them up when you die like a dark souls corpse run, but sometimes they just disappear. Not sure if the disappearing is intentional or a bug though.

He was probably aiming at something else like the overseer

it partially carries over, if you have Chieftain then most scavs everywhere will be on at least semi good terms with you. body language probably still takes into account for scavs you haven't interacted with much before though, maybe you were jumping around or something.

or maybe it's just that one fucking scav that always seems to have it in for you.

no

is THAT why i keep seeing those faggots throw shit at nothing?
i was literally just climbing a pole about to leave the area when one of them happened to be level with me and decided to just throw that shit. granted it was one of those squinty eyed guys and i know they're temperamental assholes

I'm pretty sure there aren't any hibernation rooms underwater, without possible escapes.
Are you in shoreline perhaps? That's the only place I can think of with "underwater" hibernation rooms.

You can judge scavs by their appearance. The meaner they look (big antlers and squinty eyes) the more liable they are to be assholes. Conversely if they have tiny horns and big dumb googly eyes they're gonna be a relatively harmless goofball.

Attached: DzARraSWsAEhfJo.jpg (869x447, 45K)

The white vets will fuck you up without a second thought, then move on with their day. Even if I'm friendly with the scavs I don't fuck with them.

might've been what said then, even if you're best buds they hate overseers pretty bad and will spear them as soon as they pop up. which almost always ends up with someone getting shanked.

Have fun getting frustrated for a couple hours until it clicks. Then enjoy the ride.

So whats the story of the world? Looks interesting and the levels I have seen look really detailed.

>please just give it a chance
i will im about to smoke then give it a chance if this thread is still alive by the time ive given the game a try ill lyk how i like it

If you're that curious why aren't you playing it?

You sure you want to know user? Finding out is half the experience

Downloading it right now. Any tips to make it click faster? I have nothing against brutally hard games that take a while to become enjoyable but i would appreciate if you help me speed that process up

Don't go to the fucking sewer

Don't do it user!

Avoid
>drainage system
>chimney cannopy
On your first half through the game
Look up the advanced movements if you wish
Follow the yellow guide
Thats pretty much it

a little advice
>Each lizard has their own tricks
>Start on Survivor
>Dont eat the noodles
>follow your yellow boy
>fuck scavengers
>for the love of god dont eat the floaty things above the blue girl

Just play the game, it's better that way, but here you go user, shitty summary.

So basically, everyone is stuck in a death loop. Human like creatures called ancients make big sentient computers to fix this problem, and these discover a weird fluid deep beneath the earth that solves the infinite death loop. Of course there's more to this, like with the echoes, creatures who couldn't quite completely transition into ascension, or the tiny bits of pearl lore that are annoying as al fuck to get because moon is a disabled bitch. At the end of the day it's just mass suicide to avoid groundhog day the plot but with a lot more details sprinkled in with a good delivery that makes the lore worth it.

i barely understood any of that but it sounds cool.

Can i get anything cool early by going to either of those areas early? Kinda like how you can do death runs in Dark Souls to get gear early from later areas?

yea

>Dont eat the noodles
don't listen to this pussy
Noodles are delicious and filling and their moms die easy
Just back yourself into a pipe with a spear and they practically kill themselves

not really but you get bragging rights and the chance to see some cool enemies early into the game

Yeah
Death
But really the map is really open, those areas will get you to your destinations just the same(or lead you off the wrong way) but they are wayyyy harder or require advanced knowledge of the game or have a chance to lead you horribly offtrack

There aren't really any items or powerups in the game at all, if that's what you're thinking. You get the experience of going through hell, and you'll definitely have mastered the swimming if you make it through drainage. I personally find it pretty comfy and it has some great music but it's probably not worth the number of times you'll die a soggy, leech-infested death.

>You can get yourself a lizard pet, but it's gonna take a lot of work and it is not remotely worth it, but it's a fun thing to fuck around with.

is it even fucking possible to do the leech-filled transition between drainage and GW?

Yes. It is horrible and one of my least liked areas in the game, but by all means it is entirely possible.

How the fuck do I get food in the garbage wastes.

Try doing some stuff with those blue fruit-looking plants. Like getting them wet.

Yeah ive done it, but youre really gonna need one of those popping snails to stun thosse leeches and master that tail wiggle to give you a speed boost underwater

I did the same after getting tired of dying in UD.
Turns out the part I kept dying at was literally the final section of UD so I didn't really miss much in the end.

You're cheating yourself out of a great eureka moment
Pay attention to what the overseer is pointing at and experiment with the environment

Eat small centipedes, find some blue fruit Throw a spear at those red long plants and what said. Nothing much other than that.

What are your thoughts on five pebbles? does he deserve the hell he is living in until the daddy long legs take over?

pebbles did nothing wrong

He deserves it solely for massbreeding lizards

5P is a little bitch. Sure he can cross out like a bitch but the fact he almost took down Moon and didnt even succeed in killing himself makes him irredeemable

What music would you listen to while you genocide all the scavs?

I genuinely think that he should've gone all-in and kill moon, since the end justified the means. The game happens in the worst possible scenario: 5P doesn't succeed and its abominations are taking im over and possibly the world afterwards since they consume without end, and Moon is unable to do anything useful or meaningful, she's not quite dead, but not quite alive, she's also stuck in a hellish limbo.

TINY INSECTS
EVERYWHERE

Where do people find out about lore like this? I already got all 16 colored pearls. Do I need to start a new game and raid 5P for pearls?

Beat me to it.
Five pebbles is the only one in the right.

[Massive spoilers]
Five pebbles actually saved moon by killing her. If he didn't kill her then moon would be doomed to an eternity of slavery. She was being forced to solve a futile problem that her masters don't even care about. They already figured it out and then killed themselves. But the worst part is that moon and the others are forced to continue. Endlessly Iterating. Ad infinitum. They can't even kill themselves.
So tell me what's better. Death? or a fate worse than death?

As far as I know, there's like 5 possible dialogues to be found on the Sky Island pearls, but only like 3 colored pearls spawn per save file. So youre gonna need to do multiple runs to find them all

Fuck you. You know what I meant.

Just started playing and I keep getting eaten by a red plant when I'm not lucky enough to bait one of the lizard things into it. Am I going the right way or should I try somewhere else?

Now that's what I call a sticky situation!

just don't grab it and you'll be fine

try not climb the plant and no do not fucking go that way that is the sinful way do not follow the sinful way

there's some cool unlocks near the sinful region gate though so

youre probably going to drainage or a dead end
Try going up

Those plants will only grab you if you try to climb them like a pole, and usually they can be deterred entirely by throwing a spear into them when they grab you.

Game seems cool so far. But i have no idea where im going. I found a door with 2 symbols next to it and my yellow little buddy is telling me that there are other cats behind it but i have no idea how to open it. I even already have the symbol it shows but its still closed.

ow, hey bwarch

You're on the right track following the yellow guy (and having the balls to eat a Noodle fly and live to tell the tale)
Are you sure you have the the same or higher symbol as the one on your side of the gate? It should open if you just stand still under the symbol for a few seconds

>I even already have the symbol it shows but its still closed.
Stand still you you spastic

If this was really the problem im gonna punch myself. I have to say all the freaky bugs are making me spazz out. Especially the little blue-assed one that runs up and down vines fast as fuck. Im especially freaked out because i have no idea what is and isnt dangerous

Please blogpost more. I wish i could still experience the game for the first time

>find out about this game

feels fucking bad, all i get to see is the occasional .webm repost

Don't worry user, even if you fucked up like the complete fucking idiot you are people are still gonna enjoy reading about you dying a lot and doing stupid stuff.

it's only been active here since the switch version.
not many played it originally.

They're both indies with a big emphasis on exploration. It's worth a shot. Rainworld's easy mode is almost as hard as Holow knights early postgame, godhome, white palace.

The style of platforming is very different. Hollow knight is about clean movments and timing on button presses. Rainworld is about shfting the weight of your slugcat around uneven terrain.

Also no movement power ups. Just skill.

Theory time

Which iterator sent the information to five p about the suicide method that he tried??

My guesses are: sliver of straw(she knew how to do it); unparalleled innocence(they're close neighbours to 5p); no significant harassment (they're close friends to 5p) thid aplies to seven red suns as well

>The game happens in the worst possible scenario

let it sink in

Hollow Knight didn't blow up until it got a Switch release either. The real reason both games got overlooked was because they were released around the same time as Breath of the Wild, which was massively popular.

t. Someone who played both Hollow Knight and Rain World when they first came out on PC.

End this meme. HK never took any thunder from RW.

If you want to know the real indie giant that drowned everyone out then it's Cuphead.
