>good
it's fun to play, especially with friends.
What little is there is quite good compared to other early access games.
>bad
little content currently so it can get pretty same-y if you play too long.
seems final roster will be half the size of the first game.
because of the change to 3D merc will likely be the only melee survivor we get.
character balance is all over the place with the commando always feeling like he's shooting wet noodles unless you get a god run vs MUL-T who can make almost any build work.

hopoo related question
has anyone at all played deadbolt? it looks like a decent gunpoint ripoff, but iv literally never heard of the game till today and it came out two years ago

I am also interested in deadbolt so I also want a response to this question

The bad: no Acrid
The good: Acrid may be added in the future

>good
it's fun
>bad
very repetitive and lacks content

wait for it to be finished because the gameplay isn't going to change so if you burn yourself out of it now, you won't get to fully enjoy the final product

no loader

>good
if it had ror1's content in this engine/environment, it would be amazing
>bad
it doesnt.

Were we suppose to get one more character for RoR1? Why is there a blank spot on the ship?

>its you, user

Jesus did you just quit?

The bad news is that it's going to be a while until it's finished. Anything could change during development, and Gearbox is the publisher.

The good? It's a game that Yea Forums can have fun together with.

please dont

newfag

>newfag
user, that mod is not Yea Forumss mod

>maintain maximum airtime
>without items
You're going to have to touch the ground eventually, but just try to mix in M1s and M2s between dashes, and press R whenever it's up.

>basic dos and do nots
Do go crazy
Don't go stupid

lol

it's not reddit's mod either, let's see if you can tell me why

Get back up mags.
Spin 2 win and press R when it gets scary.

it's on thunderstore. or is that discord territory?

Cancel third m1 into m2
Trimp with m2
Air time combo is easy to set up. Try to be out of your animations once every second so you can squeeze in another m2. I don't main merc so I don't have details but the theory is just to get as many m2's as possible because they suspend you in the air.
Dos:
Use your abilities to navigate the map quickly, including grounded m2 for the quick burst of speed
Use R's i frames during vagrant nuts
Get at least one magazine so you can cancel m1 into m2 without waiting for cooldowns (other skills will let you recharge the second one in time if you use both m2s in quick succession)
Dont's
Don't be retarded

kill all the other enemies, it leeches them for hp
fun. unsure if i should recommend at the moment because you're likely to burn out before the game's got enough content

That's discord territory

well thats even worse then

Always hold M1 since it can happen at the same time as other attacks.

wat

Woops, wrong thread

wrong thread my dude

bad: RoR1 was better and it poorly transitioned into 3D
good: it's early access so maybe they'll fix all the issues it has (doubt)

RoR works much better in 3D though

RoR1 vs RoR2 is a hard comparison honestly. They're both completely different functioning games and handle very differently. They are both extremely loveable and perhaps 2 will get better with time

It's fun while it lasts, but you eventually realize that every run that doesn't get killed by bad RNG in the early game ends up feeling the same since no items have fun synergies outside of making bigger numbers, and you're going to end up with mostly the same stuff by the end anyway. The glacial pace they're releasing content at isn't exactly helping either.

Is that not the point? Do people not play these games for the CHANCE at annihilating hundreds of enemies? Not the GUARANTEE?

Attached: 1354159958857.gif (200x163, 1.25M)

runs rarely die to RNG early on unless your pace is too slow. Early game you should only be getting a few items so that you don't waste time. You should be able to open the timed chest on rallypoint delta consistently

it just some guy shitposting, ignore

By early game I'm talking less so about the first handful of areas and moreso the stuff that follows shortly after the first loop, since odds are you're not going to be doing much if you get nothing but shield generators, red whips, and fireworks on Commando.

I can only speak for myself but I play these sorts of games for the variety in runs which the RNG usually brings, not necessarily to get the most overpowered build possible. The main issue, at least with 2, is that the current item pool does a really bad job of mixing up playstyles regardless of how strong your build is.

how hard do guillotines DR?

That's a weird mindset considering just how hard the game gets by Monsoon. Maybe it's because I've played hundreds of hours of Risk of Rain 1, but I've always understood the games as inherently about the ever escalating enemy health, damage, and count, and the player trying to keep up with randomized items. Some of these items, like Headstompers, are utterly useless. But if it were in Risky 2, people like you would be talking about balancing it or something.

>tfw both bored by and addicted to the game at the same time
Its like a drug, getting to lategame and becoming a god of destruction never stops being rewarding. But god-damn if this game doesn't need new content, this update was a whole bunch of nothing

Attached: 1558771977883.png (640x512, 220K)

why would you cancel the third m1, it does extra damage

I have 100%d it. I had a lot of fun with it. although I haven't played gunpoint so i can't say if it's better or worse. I recommend it. Kickass music too, as usual.

so m1 replenishes while you are charging m2

Unfortunately, so will the next update be disappointing

I don't follow, doing the full m1 combo gives m2 more time to recharge

NA RoR2 host when
