This is now a Rain World thread. How are you enjoying it bros? Did you meet one of the Iterators yet?

I like the game, played a local co-op mod with a friend.
Nothing best teaching someone the game while hopping over a lizard trying to snatch me only to die because I got a rock thrown at me which knocked me right into its mouth.

It's not really either of those things. If I had to define it I'd say it's a puzzle survival game.

I recently discovered that Big Sister Moon's can is actually toppled, her arm is on the side while other iterators ones are on the ceiling, her structure is close to the ground while others are high in the sky (you can see it while climbing the wall) and the entire shoreline section have chunks of structures reminiscent of the pillars holding the cans.

After getting to pebbles I dropped it. I want to like the game I really do, but it just isn't fun most of the time.

Exploration starts to get tedious after a while yeah, I stopped after giving BSM a fly because the entire path back to get underground is just long and annoying.

Imagine being a child who plays games for """fun"""

I've been waiting for 1.7 to come out for PC before giving Hunter a proper attempt but with how fucking long they're taking I'm probably gonna do it before then

1.7 is just 4 jpgs during the endings and mod backwards compatibility

Has this game been fixed on Switch yet? Might pick it up and PSN for £2 if it hasn't, it's been months.

How many of you fucks ate her delicious delicious neurons?

Yeah but muh ending that I could easily look up on youtube instead, it's important to me ok

>that room
I got stuck there for the longest time on my first playthrough. I made it out eventually and swore I would never go through Drainage System again.

If they are even close to the pipe it lights up, if you really can't wait to get through, you can launch yourself out of the pipe by holding the jump key.
I'll give you that you can't possibly know that unless you got it by accident because there's a shitload of important controls the game never tells you about, like switching hands and dropping items so you don't fucking stab something friendly because you try to give it something!

Im loving this game.
Started a new game because I ended up at Canopy with the hologram worm telling me nothin'.

>going back into shelter

>it's doing its closing animation
>something got caught by the pole and swallowed
I felt like a mix of sadness for whatever got caught and laughter because something beside me was retarded enough to get caught.

I trust that it gets good, but I got to a point with it where I was just bouncing between tedium and frustration and the only ways I could think to get out of the situation were through more tedium or more frustration. There is still stuff I like about it, and I may go back to it eventually, but I really dislike the point in the game I've gotten to and I've beaten my head against it enough times to be pretty discouraged from continuing with the game.

The game greatest moments are when you reach a new area, that scenery is vastly different with new enemies and mechanics.
But if you end up backtracking it's just incredibly boring and frustrating.

A hat in time
It's the last time I buy a game made for nostalgic manchildren.

>get past daddy long leg and into a pipe
>mfw he follows me through the pipe

There’s a hidden way to breathe longer underwater

Well the problem is I'm at a point where I'm trying to get through an area that I often die in and even when I don't die in it the rain always comes in before I can find a place to hibernate, which is frustrating but I wouldn't mind just trying it until I get through it, but then on top of that there's a gate that you need to be on the third level of your hibernation cycle to get through, so everytime I die I have to go out to the same area I've already been through plenty of times to get food, and that's just tedious. Leaving this area and going somewhere entirely new would mean a lot of backtracking so I'm not too keen on that either, and I'm just stuck in this part of the game where all the options I see before me seem like a chore to put up with.

I know what you mean. The game has a ton of moments that stuck with me but it's hard to recommend it to people due to how you can get fucked over by the game's world. There has to be something else that draws you in order to push past certain fiddly and random areas like the underhang.

>and even when I don't die in it the rain always comes in before I can find a place to hibernate

You are dilly-dallying way too much if that's the case. The dotted circle in the bottom left represents the time you have before rain starts to pour if you didn't know. Generally you want to be near a shelter well before it runs out and not at the last minute, unless you're looking to live dangerously.

Seriously, how do you play this game? What is the goal? Im confused

stupid zoomer

I feel the same about life too user

What this game does for me is that, in 99% of games I never really feel like the character. I'm just some guy sat down playing a videogame. I might be in a huge firefight, bullets flying all around me, but I still feel like I'm sat on my sofa pressing buttons, not a hint of danger. Same for most rpgs, open worlds, platformers, whatever. They might be fun, but they're nothing more than that.

In rainworld however I feel like I'm that slugcat. I feel the pressure of needing to find food, needing to find shelter. I feel dread and fear when there's lizards between me and my goal and I'm unprepared. You learn how to think like a slugcat to navigate the environment, to catch prey, to tackle or avoid predators. Decisions are impactful. Friendships are earned. Discoveries are yours. And improvement is done by learning to approach the game the way that slugcat would.
Play until the game ends or you stop playing. That's the goal.

You're not, trust me. Everytime the paperclip disappears your not going through the intended story path (which I recommend you to in a first playthrough) go back to industrial and from there to garbage

Attached: 1558520569739.gif (296x212, 49K)

I know, I don't think its the game fault or anything, but I still always miss it even when I'm trying to get through fast. One thing that might be holding me back though is that I need a spear at one point and I've been assuming you swim slower when holding an item because that's how it feels to me, so I always get to the point where I need the spear and then waste time looking for one instead of having it on hand. Even still though, I'm usually pretty low on time by that point.

Owlboy. I never heard anything about it, and once it released Yea Forums wouldn’t shut up about how great it was. I liked the art so I bought it. Turns out the only worthwhile thing in the game IS the art.

Does it make you feel like you have four arms?

R.A.D. way back in the day. All this talk about how cool the game was and how the plot changed based on which buildings got destroyed during missions and the controls made the game literally unplayable on real difficulty levels.

Also, The World Ends With You. I swear to god the only people who like that game must have lazy eye so they can watch both screens at once.

What platform is best to play this on or does it not matter?

Drainage is technically a "shortcut" but it's one of the hardest sections of the game. I remember in those Rainworld threads everyone helping one user get through it on his first playthrough. It was suffering

shieet, ok. like i said, i havent even seen the slugcut icon yet.

just refund dude
its both easier and faster than pirating, buy -> play for less than 2 hours -> refund
I usually do that nowadays instead of pirating, I keep what I enjoy

PC, while missing the latest update, is the version that runs the best

Definitely PC. The mods

Not Switch, because it has frame drops and occasionally crashes.

On my playthrough I got to pebbles following the paperclip. I didn't understand why I was lead there if there was nothing to do so I jumped around aimlessly until I drowned. Tried a few different things the next couple lives, didn't figure anything out (cause you're not actually supposed to), died again then left shelter to go back to coastline and keep exploring. Because I hadn't gone to pebbles then gone back to shelter, I'd just died each time, the paperclip pointed me back to pebbles for the entire game.

I still finished it so it wasn't a problem, and desu I think the game would be better if you could turn the paperclip off, but still, took me about 40 hours to finish because of having to find my way all on my own.
You follow the puck in TWEWY

It matters now that is 2,99 on ps4, go now or you'll miss it, the game is basically the same in every platform.

Not knowing anything here adds a lot. I tried to be friendly with a tribe on my first playthroughs and one of those niggroids threw a stick trying to kill a lizard that ended up killing my paperclip. Y was like 9 hours in after 2 restarts and I wanted to follow the paperclip to just complete the game and abandon it, and this little shit suddenly left me in the dark, so I decided to kill tribes for a living. Everytime I saw one I threw a stone at their fucking heads and proceeded to stab them with my spear multiple times. I wasn't going to complete the game now as far as I knew. Later, exploring a little bit more, the paperclip appeared again (it takes a while to do so, and I wasn't in a story related area now, so it wasn't showing up), and I completed the game that time, and another one after that. Fun times, it's a game based on individual experiences like that for me, once it clicks it's really hard not to fall in love with it

The game genuinely does have artificial difficulty, though.

It embraces shit design

>karma gate padding
Just play well, you're supposed to earn your right to get into certain areas.
>display fuckery
???
>travel time padding
holy zoomer. imagine wanting to skip the game

based retard

>there is no artificial difficulty!
>but there is, see examples
>just git gud!

>Karma gate padding
Forces you to prove to the game that you've learned how to survive effectively in your environment so that you can't just complete the game by repeating the same sections over and over again until the one time you get through or get a lucky with rng. Also incentivises you to go to easier sections earlier as their karma gate requirement is lower.
>display fuckery
Music plays when enemies are nearby, horizontal scrolling is at roughly 80% and you can easily just turn back around as soon as the screen snaps to stay safe and scout. Vertical scrolling is at 100% but there's pretty much nowhere in the game that this matters.
>travel time padding
I think you mean requiring the player to actually earn their fast travel and think about how to use it so that they don't just go back to the starting area to stock up on food and supplies repeatedly.

The thing is, people see rain world as having artificial difficulty when in reality it's the vast majority of other games having artificial ease.

How is any of what I just said artificial difficulty? Unironically just get better and quit being an armchair game critic.
The only "artificial difficulty" is when something like a croc spawns outside your hibernation chamber, and even that's manageable once you learn how to deal with them. The random elements are supposed to make you think on the fly about your situation. It's not a big deal to die and once you get good it happens less and less.

wait that's his nose?

>Forces you to prove
Yeah, just like randomly reversing your controls "forces you to prove" you don't rely on muscle memory.
It's still artificial difficulty, no matter how many excuses you find.
>you can easily just turn back around as soon as the screen snaps
Except when you get tongued by a nigger like an anus.
Or when it's one of those underwater sections that hide your cat.
Or when it's raining and you can't see shit.
>requiring the player to actually earn
Yeah, having to manually, tediously walk around sections that you've mastered 10 times over already is "earning".
Just like mindless grinding is achievement.

>Except when you get tongued by a nigger like an anus.
>Or when it's one of those underwater sections that hide your cat.
>Or when it's raining and you can't see shit.

All of those sound like easily avoidable deaths that are entirely the fault of the player :-)

zoomers should leave this board

because they're like $200 now so I doubt I'm gonna find it much cheaper online so it's not worth the hassle

>don't go into underwater sections ever, then you won't see that specific kind of artificial difficulty

Will RNG not make the area I want to access infested with enemies: the game

>Or when it's one of those underwater sections that hide your cat.
Serves you right for pirating, or perhaps you are just blind.
Seriously though, the rest you posted is trivial.

Your fault for not learning how to swim, user ;~)

>it's trivial to grind around the fake challenge! just git gud and your time will unwaste itself!

How's life with a sub-100 IQ

It's not artificial difficulty to set a requirement of 'survive for 2-5 consecutive days'. It's not artificial difficulty to have to listen to an audio cue, or to have to carry something for protection. It's not artificial difficulty to require a player to think about how they use their resources and not take things for granted. It's not artificial difficulty to restrict the players vision in the same way that the player's avatar's vision would be.

Holy fuck, the red pillige and basdness coming from this post is staggering. You da man, man.

You're complaining about wasting time, and yet here you are

Fair point, for a retard.

>It's not artificial difficulty to set a requirement of 'survive for 2-5 consecutive days'.
>it's not artificial difficulty to enforce repeating same shit over and over
>it's not artificial difficulty to waste player's time and pretend that's difficulty

I'm here because owning retards is fun.
Watching you wring hands in anxiety brings me joy. Grinding karma does not.

If you're not retarded, then how come you found yourself grinding karma? Checkmate :)

You're sure owning us epic style with your armchair game critic buzzwords, friend. Why is it so hard to admit you got filtered? It's ok for a game to not be for you.

Epic cope
I finished rain world while you're defending it and can't even do a backflip

These are good reasons to like the game. I just really wanted more stuff mechanically and a more complex objective besides go to A then B. I realize that might be the exact reasons that some people like the game because of it's suble simplicy. My objective criticism is that the game never explains all of slugcats cool moves rolling, extending leaps by throwing, backflips etc.

Play monk mode if you hate that shit so much, karma gates open forever once you go through them, and things attack you less.

AAAAAHHH HOW THE FUCK DID I MISS THAT
I always thought that it was a smaller can because its an early model and I always wondered what was all that shit in shoreline.

It's simple. The game is not about getting from point a to point b. It's not about getting from level to level. It's not about getting from checkpoint to checkpoint.

The game is about learning to survive and then thrive in a hostile environment. If don't have the karma gate requirement the player can just bash their face against each section until they get lucky with the rng, learning nothing.

Now the question is if the game has any other mechanics about 'surviving and thriving'. I would say it does. Food doesn't respawn each cycle so you have to explore a large chunk of the area before you can progress. Enemies are unique in each area, so you need to learn how to avoid or defeat them in order to be successful. There are side goals you can set yourself, taming lizards, befriending outlaws, gaining traversal credits. Levels are sprawling, not linear, so there's plenty of extra areas to explore, other karma gates to find, hidden rooms to find, and resources to locate.

So, you claim it's wasting time, to me there's plenty to do. And here's a final point: you can use traversal to gain max karma.

Funny how you women defending badly designed games can't admit that they have flaws.
Even VTMB players can admit that their favorite meme game is flawed, it's just the meme games like RW and DF that are defended no matter how obvious is the fact that a given flaw is a flaw.

You may just not be into video games anymore

Don't feel bad, though- video games suck now

What the fuck are you talking about. People shat on it as soon as it came out.

I don't think anyone is denying that RW has flaws, just that the issues you are giving aren't flaws.
Have you considered user that this is just your opinion, and you are trying to do is tout it as fact?

It's ok user, one day you'll learn to agree to disagree and stop spending your valuable limited time on things like this, I believe in you

I think the game has flaws. Just not the same things you think are flaws. And yes, I do, unironically view Rain World as something to experience, not just something to beat. I wrote: You've been harping on about karma gates, but why is is that you aren't at max karma? What are you doing wrong that's preventing you staying there. Maybe if you tried looking inwardly and maybe try to improve you'll find the game rewards you for it. It's a shame you can't do that.

>artificial difficulty is not a flaw

looks retarded. its your own fault for falling for this garbage

This shit taught me to never listen to recommendations from waifu fags.

I agreed at first. I was furious at the game and thought the controls were garbage. I was legit pissed I listened to Yea Forums. However I couldn't bring mself to stop. Now its one of my favorites, and I fondly remember my time painfully learning the game. I have never experienced a game like it.

Rain World's difficulty is about as far from artificial as it get, it's diegetic difficulty more so than anything. ;-)

The point is to overcome the challenge you manchild. You are not grinding as there is no numbers or items or anything between you and success except for your own incompetence. And no karma isn't grinding its just a proof of mastery. If you were less shit you wouldn't ever need to worry about karma scrub.
>I finished rain world
>thinks back flips are an advanced maneuver

I typically enjoy games like these a lot. I don't think the game gives you enough reliable tools to overcome obstacles. There was a segment of the game where I was forced to keep throwing myself into a room where 2 lizard boys were sitting every time without fail. Kept dying over and over again. The only other route was going outside to where I was hunted by birds, which was considerably more dangerous. The only thing I could do was just sort of slide around and try to gimmick the AI into letting me through. I enjoyed the feeling of futility up to the point where it creates an incentive to throw repeatedly throw your own lives at enemies and try to gimmick through them. Feels like a waste of time, it felt monotonous, it felt gamey, it broke my immersion and my appreciation for the atmosphere. Waste of a pirate.

Once you learn the advanced movements it makes the game much easier to handle. Backflipping over enemies then throwing a spear behind you while sliding is probably the most satisfying thing you can do to enemies in this game.
