Just bought this, what am I in for /v ?

absolutely, it's the wrongest way to go, the worst of noob traps and the kicker is there's no reason to ever go there besides one single solitary scrap of lore.

go east/right and up. follow the yellow guy's directions. industrial complex should be the next area you go to from outskirts.

keyboard or controller?

Up to personal preference but keyboard works best for me. Weird thing about controllers in this game is how certain movement tricks don't work unless you use the stick instead of the dpad for some reason.

keyboard helps with the longjump but if you prefer controller the dpad is fine
might recommend kbm since movement can require a lot of fiddly precise inputs but there ultimately isn't too much difference.

BEWARE YOURSELVES

- follow yellow guide.
- eat mostly bats and take fruits with you into hibernation chamber.
- check your rain timer left below every time you continue after hibernation.
- game is not unfair after you understand the advanced slugcat controls and general dynamics of the ecosystem.

This fucking piece of shit game takes ages to load for whatever reason? Anybody know a fix for this? I found people complaining about it but no solutions

Works on my machine

Imagine being a cat in a city full of dogs that can climb.
That's the general expericence

since it has too much little folders and little files, it took nearly 10 minutes on my nvme samsung ssd. note: I installed gog version.

>speedrunner
they're literally moves built into the game
is the fucking mario 64 sidejump "speedrunner strats"?

Bunnyhopping/strafejumping sure is.

they are not that hard. and I consider backflip+roll+chainjump is must-learn moves. at least them.

I have steam version(if it makes any difference) and it takes like 5 seconds to load??

>chainjump
Wtf is that.
My issue with pro moves is that disempowerment is a big part of the game, and that disempowerment forces players to come up with some creative shit. Bringing squidcada across the map is much more fut than bunnihopping across chasms.

>get to the alien chick

idk i might start a new save or just drop the game altogether. was real nice up till that point tho.

Fairness is an unnatural notion.

next you are going to tell the game is meant to be a """"""""""life simulator"""""""" despite having tons of gamey mechanics

when you jump after rolling, right before you hit the ground press rolling buttons and roll again, and jump again. and it is on an on.

This is absolutely non mandatory for playing.
Name a less gamey game then.

when you are able to understand the mechanics and finish the game or progress a significant amount, you will see that it is not unfair at all.

I found it useful and countless times it helped me move fast and right before the rain comes I got into shelter even times that there seems to be no hope.

You get light, what else can you do?
In the crutch you can consult the map if you are in total darkness.

Trade with/kill scavs for a lantern, it's an orange glowing orb. You can also drag around lantern mice like but they will struggle. Dead mice will be easier to carry but lose their glow after a few minutes.

Yes! the Drainage System can be fully ignored through the game. It's notorious because there's one hibernation chamber that will essentially lock your game
We've all been victims of it. Just reset your game (press R in the Slugcat selection menu) and start again

Drainage System is just a very frustrating shortcut between important areas

bring some light source. (you can find them in scavenger caves) you can swallow it and regurgitate when you enter dark rooms.

actually when you know how to swim and use oxygen bubbles it is a walk in he waterpark.

how to swim:
- do not push jump button.
- only direct you cat with proper timing.

>there's one hibernation chamber that will essentially lock your game
Bullshit, I managed to get out blind.

There's probably going to be a time where you drop the game due to frustration or lack of direction. Just keep it in your head and revisit it when you're ready. Finally coming back and beating this thing was one of the most satisfying gaming related things I've done in years.

Also try to keep yourself blind as to what to do. The story isn't straight forward and hard to decipher but bumbling through it blind is wildly entertaining.

It's possible to get out, but it requires you to get through either a lategame area or swim through underwater corridors you can't survive unless you know how to swim fast.

Use the map to navigate

A great game that will make you extremely angry several times.

It was not so bad after my first playthrough, but it's straight up bullshit if you are new to the game
As I said, I managed to get to Filtration System Gate, and did so through the flooded way

Oxygen bubbles are great, but you can't decide when to pop them, and they are stupidly rare to boot

Really? it's the one next to Filtration System, and the only way back involves swimming the whole Drainage until the Shoreline gate, so you need to get 3(?) Karma in a literal wasteland (or 4 to use the F gate), dive the whole thing without dying to the many Leeches, and be lucky enough to get a long cycle because if you get a short cycle, you can't even get to the room with Food without dying

If game doesn't make you feel anything - what's the point in playing it then?

>accidentally
Sure.
You can still salvage it if you only ate one. Follow the orange ghost things until you find a replacement to bring her.

Yeah, that one. I got there one karma short of opening gates to Filtration, lucky me. Then I tried surviving in this shelter, and even managed to develop a feeding routine for one cycle (but after that food spawns changed and I got fucked, but that was peak Gollum kino still), and then yeah, I swam out (after coutless tries and after insight that there are air pockets in the corridor). Gates to Wastes required one karma though, I played version 1.5

To be honest getting through the drainage system itself isn't that bad. It's that it also has a point of return which makes it impossible to return the way you came, and you either have to travel through and explore extremely difficult optional area or go through drainage system's alternate route which has several portions where it's easy to drown since air pockets in there are placed barely give you time to swim through. It's also literally the wrong direction since you have to go there anyways later on after you've gotten the proper "key" to the endgame area.

What seriously fucked with me is that only way out is on the water surface level, and it is hard to notice white stripes of the room transition since they are distorted by water.

Like most areas, Drainage System is completely optional. Most people take the longer Farm Arrays>Subterranean>Filtration route on their first playthrough, since that's the route FP mentions.

People really underestimate how ascendant you can become in Rain World. In my replay, I went through the entire drainage system blind and didn't die once (until I reached the really hard bit everyone dies on). You learn how to be a slugcat, when to be afraid and when to take your chances (which is p much never).

Game journos have a job. Getting stuck into your le artsy xd game costs them a fuckton. Nobody lieks that

the way it happens is their parents/uncles/whatever tell them "hey kid I have this job where all you have to do is play videogames" and they accept it because it's a free fucking job where you play videogames.
that's literally what happens.

have they considered trying to be good at their jobs so this wouldn't happen?

>[x] is a very interesting game, and one which I think I'll never really get
t. every games journalist when confronted with a difficult game that's too popular for them to dismiss out of hand, like Dwarf Fortress.
And yet, besides that, they still really really want arsty games and games as arts even though they don't play 'em.
Because you're right. The thing every single one of these reviews mentioned was that they only played a couple of hours. They're on a treadmill; the nature of their job means they have to rush through as many games as possible. That's why their job is useless and ought to be done away with.
They don't even want to be games journalists, most of 'em. They just couldn't hack it in actual journalism.

They represent the average customer, not some 1% faggots who enjoy a dick in their ass

imagine being this retard. They played and rated Sekiro 91 on metacritic you moron. rain world was rated low because it is indie and niche game no one really bother tried to understand its obscure mechanics. Most of them continue with sheep psychology after they saw big pig's score like ign.

They represent the big game corporations.
This.
The response to Dark Souls II will always be the saddest example. Dark Souls I was not so well received on launch; but it became a huge cult classic (to the point of not really being "cult" any more), so game journos knew they had to rate the next game highly. So they did. Despite all the faults we now know it had, they rated DSII really highly, because they can't go against the grain!
And now if they reviewed DSII again they'd give it low scores, even though liking DSII is the big-brain opinion.

It has always worked that way. "Tastemakers" often hate actually good and innovative things, instead preferring warmed-over crap that panders to their ego. That's why so many good artists were unappreciated in their time

Attached: RWSling.webm (1280x720, 2.63M)

Rain World's difficulty isn't really in the fine motor controls and more in using your head to avoid what wouldn't be dangerous in normal platformers but which are lethal in RW (like wide open unroofed rooms).

That's not that dangerous, as long as you pay attention to the background you'll know when any vultures are coming.
You start to notice the flickering shadows subconsciously

It took me watching my ex gf playing the game for the first time for me to realise just how much of the environment you end up watching subconsciously. Like I would instantly see lizards as they came onto the screen, no matter where they were, and I'd see those flickering shadows as soon as they'd pop up, but she'd be focused on where sluggy was as you would in a normal platformer.

So what exactly is this game? I'm literally oblivious to everything but the name and the slug thing.

It's a bit ridiculous to ask you this, but if you really want this game to knock your socks off it's best not to know anything about it. But, I appreciate almost nobody wants to buy a game blind.

It's about living the life of a slugcat in a huge city which suffered ecological collapse long, long before your species ever even evolved. It's a beautiful, broken landscape, filled with predators who want to eat you and prey you need to eat. And every couple of minutes, the rain comes, and it kills everything. So you better hope you can make it back to your shelter -- or find a new one, soon.

If you watch closely, you can actually see sluggo's eyes look at predators even when they're offscreen or mimic poles.
As for difficulty, knowing how to use pipes will help immensely. The game almost always gives you enough time to react when coming out of a pipe and you're completely safe when traveling through them. They're the single best way of shaking off predators, and should be able to save you even if you're being pursued from both sides.

Exactly. As I said, there's a bunch of simple tricks you need to learn and incorporate into your playstyle if you want to live a long, happy slugcat life. It all basically boils down to "be cautious, and keep your head down, but know when to run/fight back".
When you get properly used to it, you'll even learn how to act around predators up close.

The only actually unfair thing is that bottomless drops and drops down to a new area both look exactly the same, even though from the Slugcat's perspective they would be immediately obvious.

It's a platformer with a time limit and a need to eat 4 units worth of food before using a check point which also resets the timer. It is interesting in that the world is completely open to you from the start, and that there are no upgrades meaning your character isn't objectively better in the end compared to the beginning. The main character also moves according to some light physics, making the game tricky to control but very satisfying once you get a good hold of it.

What exactly? Well, it feels like you are ripped out of civilization and thrown in the wild.
Basically, there is huge nonlinear gameworld (that was buildt to resemble not a level, but a tangible place) and you wander around in it without any story leash. Well, there is story and lore, there are no leash. There are shelters on the map, they work like bonfires\save points, and you must use them, because it's the only way to evade rain. Using shelters spend food, so you can't just wait, you are forced to explore with hunger, but there are predators, and they don't work as your typical static enemy to overcome, they have their own agenda and behave like real animals. (They can stop chasing you when they find easier prey, for example). Basically, whole map is simulated, so you often stumble upon some fun deadly situtions. You are not apex predator, so combat is last resort here.

Attached: airbendercat_cut.gif (290x215, 1.33M)

They tried to make some drops more clear by including a pole leading onto the other screen but I agree. Most glaring example is the first tower you come across in Industrial Complex, I bet a lot of you tried to go down the pits on the sides since they put climbable poles there for whatever reason.

Will also add that the screen transitions in multi-screen rooms can be extremely lethal. Apparently the game doesn't support a following camera because of how it's made.

Forgot to add, there are almost no fast travel, enemies are relentless and rains are deadly, so even traversing the map is a challenge. In more common games getting from A to B is not an issue, all the content is at A and B, but here you are on a dangerous journey, ant this feels like an real adventure.

More Slugcats mod better come out later this year or I'm gonna be grumpy

There was a twitter post last week saying that almost all of the new maps they have made are complete.
