I just love the campfire story feel to it. Almost no media does this though. The only other major media that comes close is the audiobooks of The Dark Tower by Frank Muller. Shame he died.

why did it take them so god damn long to make this? I remember all the threads about this like 6 or so years ago but I didnt care anymore when it finally came out

I thought that was a card game..

Maybe I'm thinking of Cultist Simulator...

what game

I really dislike this game. Felt soulless compared to bastion and I don't know if that was part of the point.

I'm sorry user, I'm just too autistic to sit down for that long.

WWI game done right.

I still like Transistor a lot, but I think they went a tad too far in trying to go out of their way to make the true nature of the story and conflict ambiguous when compared to Bastion.

Attached: Transistor Motorcycle.jpg (640x350, 110K)

Hopefully their next game. If you ignore the DSiware no one really heard of it went Dig>Heist>Dig2>Quest. So Heist 2 wouldn't sound too out of place next. Although unlike their first two games Heist was pretty polished and lengthy out of the box, so who knows if they'll return to that style again.

theyve been trying to capture that bastion feel but have never managed to do it again
they got lucky, transistor was ok but pyre and hades are meh

Goddamn it, how do screenshots to this game always look so fucking comfy while the gameplay loop is so stressful.

Cosmic Star Heroine. My only problem with it was that I didn't like the character portrait art. It's an unapologetic Chrono copy, but the battle system is enjoyable. I like the music quite a bit too. I'd say to play on the second hardest difficulty. The hardest is just tedious and doesn't add anything to combat other than time.

Wait, is it out already, or you're still talking about that old as shit demo (that's been taken down since)?

It's only stressful if you make it that way, it's not like anything is forcing you to play at maximum efficiency

Oh fuck me, I thought that shit was stuck in developement hell forever

Time to get my free* copy

I picked up HoMD when I saw it was similar to Sunless Sea, but it didn't hook me as well. I think the combat being a bit wonky early on and being a bit more empty space compared to Sea is what did it. Writing felt better handled and less janky and definitely had the same vibe, but the basic gameplay lacked the right feeling to me. Probably should give it another chance though. Sunless Sea, while easier to get into, still had that awkward learning curve so I guess I shouldn't fault HoMD too much for the change in battle style.

Yeah, Cultist Simulator is card game stuff. It's also directly related to Sunless Sea, where HoMD was an original idea in its own thing that the Sunless Sea devs helped get off the ground with funding and whatnot. Kind of surprised me to see them supporting what is ultimately competition, but I guess the style is so niche people are going to pick them all up if they want more.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot sometime.

2 and 3 were such disappointments to me.

I could not enjoy pyre. Towards mid game it just felt like a really long drawn out chore. I stopped caring about the lore entirely and sped past dialogue just to finish it.

Yeah the combat is strange and terrible and the gameplay isn't great until you upgrade your centipede but once you start doing quests and exploring the writing becomes next-level and there's a ridiculous amount of it too.

It's not contrarianism. The actual gameplay is far and away the weakest and the twists and turns only carry the story once.

It's a fine game, but Supergiant only got better with Transistor and Pyre.

cringe

yeah the whole sportsball thing seemed kinda weird and a lot of people say you end up trudging through the gameplay just to get to the story.

supergiant should just make VNs instead of these half-assed top-down games.

death desu

>implying i know whats going on in that webm

i'm guessing they're worried about losing player base by going VN only. And desu I probably wouldn't have picked up the game if it was a VN.
That being said it's still a worthwhile game to pick up for the story alone.

I was so happy when Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet finally got a PC release, but no one else was. I don't know if them making it a 360 exclusive first ruined their chances for success but it sure didn't help.

Bought it and finished in one sitting. It's okay for the price I guess, it does nothing interesting or original, it is just a non-linear platformer (it's not metroidvania, most of such games aren't it) with a cat in mech. The definition of 6/10.

Apart from that you're right, every Supergiant game has been worse than the last.

you could just do it like vall-hall-a and add a small minigame to keep it from being entirely hands off

gee that's exactly what I did, just get Tizo the ball and have him sprint over to the goal over and over again. Really fun and intellectually stimulating gameplay

When Hades is complete and off the Epic store it will be my favorite.
Bastion has a weak middle.

hmmmm, yes, one day we'll all be free. until then ... video games !

I mean if that's what you're into I can recommand a few VN. What about Princess Evangile or Muv Luv?

yes. I can kind of appreciate that the game part of it should have been hard though. that forces you to sometimes progress the story even though you lost a match, creating some interesting changes in the plot.

>they've made far more bad games than good games
Nigger what they've made 3.5 games and none of them are bad

>good artists that people like
Pretty much, most people practically play games with their brains turned off, so when you make a waifu-bait game like Transistor, or have good music then people moronically equate that as a good game and it drives me up the fucking wall.
More than that, fans can't even adequately defend why they like the game when pressed to elaborate, the gameplay in all their titles except for Bastion has always been a slog and their reasons essentially boil down to, "I like the art" or "I like the music."

Garshasp, but it isn't very good, ghetto as fuck and actually made in Iran.

>"I like the art" or "I like the music."
Yes, and? I'll add that I like the story and characters, too.
Are those not legitimate reasons to enjoy a game? Sure, I'd like some more engaging gameplay too, but I'm fine with 3/4 being good. It's rare for a game to be visually appealing, have a compelling story, and also have good enough music that I'll listen to it long after beating the game.

Indie means that the game is published by the developers, the budget doesn't matter.

Sexy Brutale was a big disappointment for me. The puzzles are way too simple and despite the open mansion the game very rarely actually lends itself for bigger puzzles aside from an optional collectible hunt. Many unlockable powers are boring contextual button prompts, it's like they ran out of ideas instantly after the hearing power and opted to just add several variations of "walk up to X and press action button to automatically use Y power". The setting and overall presentation were genuinely great, but the main story squanders it by taking a big nosedive towards the ends with a shitty main twist.

I really liked Pyre's gameplay. The text adventure parts complement the sports events by influencing stat gains, and the story also makes you ponder who to anoint since you're making a choice between "who deserves to leave - who would be beneficial for the rebellion - who is team carry" and such. The lack of gameovers also actually makes every match sweat-inducing since you have to suck up your losses and continue regardless of outcome and winning liberation rites means you're forced to change up your team composition every now and then, meaning all of that shit actually carries weight. It just wouldn't be the same without the sports matches.

The main char is a cum dumpster deserved to be used by multiple men

I keep hearing people say this game is great but never why. What's good about it?

You're calling Transistor a waifu-bait game, you've actually outed yourself as a retard. I strongly suggest that next time you pretend to complain about the game, you just leave that part out because the rest of your almost-argument was convincing.

Very based post

Combat, story, bosses.

>I just got bored almost immediately and even three hours later, I didn't feel like I'd had any amount of fun at all.
As much as I liked it I can see why that would happen. HK's one of those "it gets good X hours in" games. The slow walking speed, samey environments (at first) and basic combat don't help much.

Attached: maxresdefault.jpg (1280x720, 96K)

It's got the total package: Great graphics, memorable soundtrack, AWESOME story (seriously, the story is awesome and quite original). The game is very long, about 50 hours depending on how you play. My favorite part though are the characters and the gameplay itself. It controls like butter and is a joy to play.
It's on sale right on GOG for $15, I highly recommend checking it out. There's also a free web demo.

>you should warn people about how much of a garbage fire the combat system is in banner saga
Nigga, the multiplayer version called Factions was fucking tactics kino. Too bad those stupid faggots never added the units from the single player over to it so there is not too too many team compositions. The combat system is brilliant, better than chess, but no one bothers to actually peel back the layers.

I liked Inside more overall, but nothing beat that early forest section of Limbo for me.

I think it’s because the game’s had so many reworked elements and shit that was just scrapped entirely because it didn’t work. The devs obviously didn’t know a ton going in and it shows, the first level is really weak and unfocused. It’s odd looking back at the beta versions of the game because the story seems to be entirely different, it’s the reason there’s a character on the logo that only shows up in one level in the entire game.

desu my biggest gripe about Pyre was the fact that it purported a 'branching narrative' and 'divergent storytelling', while actually your actions have very little impact on the overall plot.

Like the main conversations are all pretty much the same, the vast majority of the exposition is given either by treebeard or before anyone is able to leave. The main thing that changes is how far along every character's story you get, and that feels about it other than a single line description at the end of everyone's fate

Now its not and I actually have to buy a switch.

I wish I could get into this. It feels like something I should really like but I couldn't really stay invested.

I never fucking post on this dumb nigger website and your post makes me want to answer;

Crosscode is a really soulful little gem that actually delivers on what it sets out to be. If you liked the old SNES/Gameboy Zelda games and enjoy puzzle-lite and pixel-y arcade action, just buy it. It's dirt cheap and would be worth double the asking price if the developers weren't so afraid of hiking the price.

It's a stellar game in nearly every way, the only drawback is it's got mildly weak writing (good story, but the actual dialogue is weak in a lot of places; they aren't authors or good at wordsmithing). Everything about crosscode oozes quality and heart. Buy it.

Highly recommend any anons into niche small slices of horror to try puppet combo shit. Wont find it piratable, but for $10 on there paetron you get like 15+ games and all newly released shit.

Most games run from 1 hour to around 3. Glass Staircase and Stay out of the house(guys biggest game and is on steam but not done) are legit pretty damn good. All his shit is based off of PS1 horror, guy even puts in pseudo z-buffering shit. Just dont expect anything amazing.

It was not that bad, but was not good either.
I've read all the books they've used as references, like Starfish by Peter Watts (oceanic depths, a base, etc). I wish it could be executed better, the gameplay is trash. They didn't explore the depths story-wise either.

I want more info on the sequel so fucking bad.

Though this thread reminds me that half the indie games I will look forward to in the future will have a big fat "EPIC EXCLUSIVE" slapped onto them.

it's one of those games you set aside time for.

Probably not, it seems like the games exclusive to the epic store have been completely fucked. They use twisted wordplay to make it sound like they were super successful, the Metro guys said more or less it was fucking awful in a very PC company talk way, and that game had fucking marketing.

The Metro guy was also a huge fuckface that had the game be preorderable on Steam for like a year before making it epic exclusive. What the fuck did they expect?

And yeah, you will know when the epic store actually has a good amount of sales for a game because they will actually announce it with actual numbers. You know for a face the whole thing is a shitshow by their unwillingness to post any hard numbers.

Isnt this AA like something like Divinity and shit? Like the b-movies of video games.(which funnily enough, just like gaming, better than most hollywood trash)

>It was not good

IIRC it wasnt the devs, it was the publisher, and the same thing happened with BL3, it was the higher ups and the devs didnt like it, except Randy of course who probably set it all up like the scummy fuck he is.

Battle Chasers: Nightwar

Western indie with JRPG fighting based on a 90s comic.

Pros:
>Giant Healing robot
>Red Sonya lady who spreads status effects like a plague in a game where status effects can crit (pic related)
>Tank is girl with big Hellboy hand
>Vampire Red Mage/Dark Knight with attacks that sync with status effects

Cons:
>Fantastic art design but dungeons often feel samey
>Loot can be incredibly unbalanced (one of the mid-game weapons for the big healing robot is better than his ultimate weapon)
>Story is meh

I've had fun with it, but only through one difficulty. I just can't see myself doing it all again on the same characters. I did enjoy seeing how the different classes worked and played multiple classes through to the last boss though to get a good feel.

Gotta use Cheat Engine to move around at a reasonable pace, otherwise combat and exploration is like a visual novel. Add that to Cons. Cool game otherwise but I never got terribly far.

Devil Engine is another good game from there. I wouldn't blame you for waiting on a sale though.

Pyre's hard difficulty should've been the normal mode. You don't get to see the full potential of the gameplay until you meet a certain someone with a low hope stat. It can get pretty intense once the AI starts putting up a fight.

Only if you don’t understand the game

judging from this thread it's either the best game ever made and completely perfect, or it's a pile of steaming shit that not even its music or art can save
and going by steamcharts, no one bought it or wanted to play it so i'm thinking it's the latter

For a game that take 4 hours to beat and is several years old those numbers are pretty respectable

Why are steamcharts posters so retarded? This isn't an MMO or an arena FPS. The number of people playing a 5 year old short single player game at any given time is irrelevant.

There's a bunch of new weapons, enemies, enviroments, and other stuff. The game probably has at least 25% new stuff if you got it like 3 months ago.

Liking art and music is basic appeal, user. As long as they're not crying to the heavens about the great gameplay it has there's nothing wrong with defending a game like that

more than 6k people bought it, 6k is just the peak for concurrent players who played it while they were online. theres not much to talk about since its just a simple tale with some good combat mechanics to back it up

>how come no one talks about it?
People sometimes talk about it here and there, but in all honesty it's a game with flaws. The foundation for a good game in my opinion is good gameplay, crazy right? But that's something apparently a lot of people don't understand and probably never will and wonder why no one wants to talk about their mediocre waifu-bait game. Music's good though.

I got it when it was still in EA I think when someone was shilling it in /vtg/ way back. Maybe I'll give it another go before winds of magic drops.

I know I'm going to get my free* copy soon. Then I'll buy it on steam to support the dev or just send them money because I really liked the demo and want more comfy games like it.

Why the FUCK do you write like this?
What is that trying to accomplish?

Divinity is still indie as well though.

What the FUCK did you just say to me?

I know, but I always think of those higher quality ones as AA, like B-movies. Still indie, but way higher budgets.

You should see the faglord in the Baldur's Gate threads. He TALKS like THIS about his WAIFU!

There's always gotta be one faggot who shits up the entire thread because someone didn't like his video game apparently.

Pathfinder for sure, it's been buggy as fuck but after patches and content updates the game is the Baldur's Gate of our time. It even lets you make broken ass builds that can solo the final boss, which is rare as fuck compared to other shitty crpgs

It'll last you a fair bit longer than 4 hours, the music is pretty meh, but there's like 5 or 6 waifu-bait companions, most of which you can fuck. Not including one of the main villains which you can also defeat with your dick.

It sure as hell isn't Transistor. Gameplay was decent but I could not get past that cringey writing/voice acting.

What a comfy game that was. Wish more people had played it

All this shitposting about Transistor is actually pretty nostalgic from when it first came out

>Can't have child

>She's also an immortal fox
>nevermind, can have a child now
That game was so weird.

tranbitchers still mad that bastion is superior half a decade later

Wow so good you have you turn off on of the main features in the story. They picked a shit module and made an ugly game with it. The backgrounds are hideous compared to Athkatla and Baldur's Gate and the character models and spell effects manage to somehow be worse than 20 year old sprites.

There's a good game in there somewhere and I wanted to like it when I sat at the character creation screen for half an hour but it's covered by a mess of shit.

I was the same way. It wasn't until my third attempt to play through it that I got absolutely hooked and took it to like 95% completion.
Can't even really say what it was that did it. Both times I quit before it was the monotony and sleepy dark atmosphere that just made me bored. Then third playthrough I think it was the sleepiness feeling comfy but then being punctuated by actually tough boss fights and interesting platforming. Quit at the first nail upgrade the first and second time, but remember on the third having a huge burst of inspiration getting into the soul sanctum soon after. Soul Master is probably the first actually interesting and challenging boss fight, as well as the run up to him.

yeah Into The Breach was completely missing all of the gravity and grit from the text that made FTL such a work of genius. it's like they stripped out all the heart and just left the turn based combat.
plus you don't get to experience the absolute kino that is coming out of a jump on the first couple of playthroughs kind of hoping there isn't a ship there but then the music seemlessly picks up and your heart rate accelerates. "here we go boys"
