You should play CrossCode

>>714104521 (OP)
I did and it owned

already did, I really liked it
I hope alabaster dawn turns out just as great

>>714104521 (OP)
I did and I finished it but it bored me halfway though. Don't even remember why

i got bored at the son of the east

>>714104521 (OP)
I got this on the Switch eShop and never played it
I don't think I ever will, just doesn't seem that interesting

>>714104859
>just doesn't seem that interesting
It's unironically a 1 of a kind, there's not another game out there that plays like it.

>>714104521 (OP)
I did. I beat every quest too. And I liked the Di'orbis fight so much I replayed it in the arena for a few hours until I could do it no-hit. The game is a slow burn and way longer than anyone would expect but I think the flashy and dynamic combat and the variety of abilities it gives you as well as the puzzle dungeons carry it through the more tedious moments. I recognize all of its shortcomings but it is forever one of my favorites of all time. It just ticked the right boxes for me. I went for a glass cannon full offense build while mostly ignoring health consumables and it was challenging and fun enough to never tire me out. The world and setting are also really charming and comfy even though I never really played MMOs.

I hated 90% of the game but then the DLC came around I started loving the everliving fuck out of these virtual autists. I miss them so much.

>>714104521 (OP)
I was tricked into buying this shit by /v/ last fall. I'll never ever listen to a recommendation from this site ever again when purchasing an indie.
The quests break the flow of the game the story is tumblr core pure autism proto tranny garbage and the gameplay is bland. It really does not want you to play the game with all the interruptions and nonstop dialog for no reason the mc can't even speak and for whatever reason there is 30 minutes of ................. every time you enter a new area.

>>714104521 (OP)
I did play it. Twice.

>>714104521 (OP)
I wish more indie games where the dev was blatantly stealing from the games they grew up with turned out like this. zelda but with actual hard puzzles and in-depth combat really scratched an itch I didn't know I had

>>714104521 (OP)
I did, the game was garbage so i uninstalled it 10 hours later

This game is addictive.

still mad that they made my boy gay

>>714107696
Well he acts like a fag

>>714107696
>made
it was funny seeing the dlc drop and all the people who somehow thought the skinny autist and the big guy who doesn't really like video games but is still playing them with that autist that live together and talk about the cat they own were just a pair of bros and not fags get surprised/mad when they blatantly say they're fags

>>714108206
I assumed roommates until they spelled it out, but I also missed the big guy not liking games.
I will keep him in the party at all times on playthrough #3 and force him to play games.

>>714104521 (OP)
Looks like a game for children. Maybe it's time to grow up.

>>714104521 (OP)
You should die and go to hell.

>TransCode
nein
100% overlap between Spherehunter fags and TransCode chodes

>>714107696
He's just like me.

>>714109514
I give you 2 years until you troon out

>>714104521 (OP)
This game has the most insufferable post-modern writing I have ever seen. And the game play is not remotely interesting. I dropped this after a couple of hours, and that was way too much time.
Fuckign waste of time and money.

Be honest with me bros, is this game's story/characters trannycore? The gameplay ideas look sick, the puzzles and dungeons appeal to my old school sensibilities, but I feel dread whenever a modenr western game advertises an engrossing story.

>>714109859
>post-modern writing
Could you define what that means?

>>714109859
>This game has the most insufferable post-modern writing I have ever seen
It's literally a game about a MMO. It's almost entirely excused.
>>714109894
There's absolutely zero gay shit other than >>714107696, which is only really revealed in the DLC. My problem with the game is that besides Lea having big tiddies the game is oddly sexless.
>tfw no bikini DLC

>>714109894
most of the drama in the story centers around the protagonist having a crush on this dude >>714107607

>>714109894
just play the video game you mindrotten faggot. the devs are just german and posted on the internet in the 2000s
>I dunno if I should drink anymore water bros, I knew some guys that drank water and then they kept drinking it after becoming a tranny
embarassing shit

>>714104521 (OP)
I did already. Enjoyed it, too. One day I might go back for the (paid) epilogue.
But I'm doubtful.

>>714110045
>>714110192
Much appreciated, that's all I wanted to know.
>>714110346
It's a legitimate question friend, no need to rage out. I'm not jumping at shadows, I just don't want to play a lengthy, story/dialogue heavy game if halfway through I'm going to get bamboozled with shitty gay writing. It's on sale now so I'll grab it and see for myself, thanks anons for the recommendation.

>>714104521 (OP)
That reminds me, I should play Crosscode

>>714104521 (OP)
okay, now what?

>>714104521 (OP)
i played it when it was early acces and it was terrible

>>714110651
You don't recognise C'tron?

>>714104521 (OP)
It's in my steam wishlist, should I buy it for $6

>>714111149
Meant the guy behind the avatar, since all I remember seeing was some tease of him walking around that Wasteland talking like an exec or something.
It's probably explained in the (paid) epilogue.

>>714111590
It is but you can intuit his role without it

>>714104521 (OP)
>that ice pillar monk challenge

We seek the ultimate experience.

>>714104521 (OP)
I'm at the part with electric cats how far am I in the game? how much is left?

>>714109859
>>714109917
I also w

>>714112629
You have a good few dozen hours left. If you don't want to fucking shoot yourself once you reach the THREE temples you'll be just fine.

How is the DLC?
Is it worth the replaying the entire game again for?

>>714104521 (OP)
Beat it around 70hrs. One of the few games that made me do long plays.

>>714112819
I'm taking my time with it its very pleasant and the puzzles have been fun to figure out

>>714112820
I'd say so. The final dungeon's great, and the story additions are interesting.

>>714112820
>How is the DLC?
It's a lot of fun!

>>714113297
>>714113380
Nice, I always wanted to play through it again and now I have a reason to.

>>714107607
Lea and her boyfiend

>spend 10 minutes doing a jump puzzle to reach a golden chest
>it's a shitty pet you'll never use or Monkey Testicles x2

>>714113297
>The final dungeon's great
It's one of the highlights of the game. Great BGM, puzzles, and boss fight. I loved it.

>>714104521 (OP)
Again? But I just played it...

>>714114052
Lea!

When's the Alabaster Dawn demo coming out anyway, I need to leave angry feedback if the puzzles are dumbed down

>>714114171
Fine, fine! I'm booting it up again now

>*exists*

>>714113804
When the DLC was new, one of the ricochet puzzles in the end portion didn't work above 60fps and I spent an hour bashing my head in trying to figure out why it wasn't working. Even with that I'd agree, it's easily my favorite dungeon.

>>714104521 (OP)
I wasn't enjoying the setting. I kinda dislike MMORPGS.

I realized they weren't so bad on my second playthrough. Papaguns are fucking horrible though, they're just completely invincible for half the fucking fight.
>>714120103

>>714104521 (OP)
I did but I didn't really like it that much

I should?

I liked it.
Wasn't there a reason for the convoluted ass "the MMO is real and on another planet" bullshit? Aside from Lea being a copy

>>714104859
>Bought a game and never played it because it isn't interesting
I have never read a more retarded post in my life. Thanks for funding the sequel I guess

I wanna say the element to make the players is abundant in that planet's atmosphere

>>714104521 (OP)
I got to the part one of the characters hacks the game to give you exponential damage and thought that fight was so fucking tight I stopped playing

>DLC ends in a cliffhanger

That's like 15 minutes from the ending what the hell dude

>>714121514
No it's not, he's talking about the one right after the 1st raid

>>714121576
Ah, that makes more sense.

>>714121576
Pretty sure I was close to the end but I don't feel like charging my POS switch to see. That or the game is far as shit. I vaguely remember it being in or after a lava area. I always played it in bed right before going to sleep so while the memories are pleasant they are very fuzzy

breaking 4th wall, cultural and modern real world references and commentary, toothless yet bitter irony, no coherency or consistency (ie metaverse)
- typical millennial writing

>>714122193
Yeah the game is a piece of shit, ugly art style and boring repetitive gameplay, too many fetch quests, and garbage writing.
Germans can't create good art, they fucking suck, stick to engineering.

>>714122225
And marvel at laser bridges?

>>714122346
and to torment with bugs

>>714122251
Doesn't sound like CrossCode

>>714122292
>Germans can't create good art
what about goethe and wagner (among others)

Honestly I would play it but this artstyle is horrendous. Is there any portraits mods to change how everyone looks?

Everyone's looking like American transsexual

>>714122513
the references does, and in my opinion they are the single worst thing about the game.

>>714122225
Only good thing the French ever produced.

>>714124574
The game itself is about a character in an MMO who can't speak due to plot reasons. The game itself plays like a beat em up/ARPG MMO and it is pretty fun

>>714124574
In a spacefaring future humanity has a new technology of essentially hardlight holograms which have very little density but can be physically interacted with. The game centers on CrossCode, an MMO that uses another planet as its virtual world and hologram avatars to move around in it. You play as a nearly-mute girl named Lea, and due to story reasons are being snuck into the game world rather than joining it as a normal player. The game is about exploring the character interactions, fictional setting of the CrossCode game, and the real world setting surrounding it. The main draw is mechanical; the dungeon design is stellar and the combat has a nice mix of arcade action with enough strategy to prevent spam.

It's a slow starter as characters are introduced and the start of the game trends heavily towards doing standard MMO fetchquests, but opens up rapidly once you start peeling away the layers and exploring the world surrounding the fictional MMO rather than just playing the fictional MMO.

>>714122654
I'm speaking about modern Germans, they are bastardized.

The classic era Germans were great.

>>714122225
I would genuinely give it all up to have this...

There's a nude mod, surprisingly enough I still got bored midgame but it was neat experience

>>714125841
I shall not.

>>714104521 (OP)
nah

>>714104521 (OP)
I did. I got bored and quit in jungle area where there is a race to finish the dungeon. The RED CITY part was kino though. does more of that happen?

>>714125367
Isn't your first paragraph a massive spoiler for the end of the game?

>>714130208
No, you learn all of that during the first hour or so

I got filtered at the third dungeon
it did some things right but there was no need to drag the dungeons on for so long by having you repeat so many tiny iterations of each puzzle
regular enemies felt like damage sponges and the jumping courses to reach all the chests in each regional map got old after the first time

I played the release version before all the updates. Is it worth starting over from the beginning? I remember doing 100% of what was available at the time, and that the coliseum was still in the works.

>>714125367
The MMO is called CrossWorlds. The CrossCode is the primary technology that allows people to play CrossWorlds at all.

>>714130427
Huh. I really should replay the game because I don't remember the first couple of sentences at all till the end

>>714131236
there's logs you can find throughout the game describing the real world but they're entirely optional to read

>>714108206
i might have been skipping dialogue because i always assumed they were brothers, the small patch of green hair in the big guy made me think he used to be as obnoxious as Apollo but grew up, and that's why he puts up with him.

>>714104521 (OP)
I played it a few years ago, put in about 80 hours
liked the later levels and dlc a lot

One thing that always seemed weird but got instantly handwaved was that the native species of the planet apparently all got hired to larp as town NPCs and hand out quests. It's to the extent I had to wonder if the planet they set the game up on was real at all.

>>714130937
Right, I always forget that.

>>714132616
The planet doesn't have actual inhabitants, those natives are NPCs same as the shopkeepers. Within the fiction of the game they're being subjugated and sidelined by the humans but they aren't real.

What's wrong with the artstyle? it just looks like a CW cartoon or similar to a american saturday morning cartoon
