I'm about to play picrel for the first time. What will I think of it?

watched its gameplay, seemed a bit bland but made me curious. Hope you got it with a huge discount.

Why don't you just fucking play it and find out?

>>714246417
Got it physically on PS5 for $35 new/sealed. (versus $70 digitally, go figure)

>>714246572
Great catch. I will also go all physical after my ps+ subscription ends (I bought 2 years when exchange rate was great.)

>>714246417
Got it for free. Still got bored before ever finishing it. And I play a lot of other rougelikes for free, most of them I see the ending at least once before dropping out.

Old Samus indie game

It's not particularly good as far as roguelites go but it's a fun enough shooter.

>>714245381 (OP)
This game is fucking amazing
t. pc faggot
Seriously it fucks

>>714245381 (OP)
It's fun enough. Kind of an interesting take on roguelikes and metroidvanias. Feels a bit too short but movement and combat feel really good towards the end with all your powers and upgraded weapons

>zero rule34 art

>playing as metroid's mom is a bad thing
game is fun as fuck and the story is actually pretty good
the endless tower keeps me coming back when I can't decide what else to play
people aka vermin hate on this because they never played it

Woke garbage, stop pretending

>>714247550
>Woke
There it is. I was waiting for that one.
Let me guess: It's entirely because the MC is a hag?
You did actually play the game, right?

>>714245381 (OP)
It really fumbled on the nonsense story with no closure

>this ugly constipated looking dyke on the cover will surly sell out game!

>>714247776
Have you played it?

>>714245381 (OP)
It's a pretty kickass shooter, but mouse and keyboard trivializes it a bit. The story is disappointing overall, and it takes some time to get all the pieces.

>>714247874
No. I'm clearly not in the target audience going by that cover.

>>714248418
>literally judging a game by its cover

>>714246417
>watched its gameplay

>>714247624
I don't play video games because I'm not a fucking loser.

>>714248454
Well, yes. It's how companies advertise to the target audience of their product. That cover says to "for the modern audience only." Not for me.

>>714248948
>he hasn't played it

I couldn't get this to work on Linux so I refunded it.

>>714247624
Worse, because it has that "boohoo I'm a woman and have a sobby past boohoo" in shallow symbolism writing with psychedelic visuals. You can mod the character into a hot anime girl and the whole game outside of shooting shit will still be vomit inducing... To simulate how a pregnant woman feels, look, it's deep writing!

>>714246980
aint nobody wanna see that shit nigga

>>714249451
But the gameplay, thoughever.

>>714249451
Don't care, gameplay is more important

>>714245381 (OP)
It's an incredible game.
/v/iggers seethe because the protagonist isn't a teenager, but if it had a tranime artstyle they'd be doing sommersaults over muh hag sexo

>>714245381 (OP)
You will like the core gameplay loop but in roughly 10-25 hours you'll wish theirs a setting that makes everything like 25%-50% faster.

>>714249507
I'm just surprised that not even haglovers have made any art

>>714245381 (OP)
>What will I think of it?
meh

>>714247776
Watch it! That’s Putin you’re talking about.

>>714245381 (OP)
Best game of 2023 (for pc)
literally ludo
The gameplay is fantastic, movement and dodging feels fast and responsive, the guns are all interesting and i mean all of them, the mods for the weapons can literally change how a weapon plays.
But the best part of the game is getting better at it.
There are no stats or permanent upgrades. You only upgrades are the metroidvania tools and getting more slots for more random trinkets from the rogue-lite aspect of the game. So when you get further in a run is because you are getting better, which is a great feeling.
My main gripe with the game was with Selene's storytelling. Presenting it so obscured and with an unreliable narrator did more harm than good imo, game would have benefitted from owning up the MC backstory up front.
Its a great game anon, enjoy it.
Haven't heard any news about Saros, can't wait to fight in the thread wars about "saars plz do not redeem the videogame" but it is what it is. If they deliver another Returnal, im buying it.

>I'm about to play picrel for the first time

Game fucking snaps. i really liked the world design and combat, movement and gunplay feel great. fun to play solo and co-op is good for a playthrough or two.

soundtrack and general sfx hangs it nuts out big time, worth losing your ears for. (especially for one boss).

The Finns pulled their fingers out for this

>>714247550
>Woke garbage, stop pretending

>>714247874
No and I never will cause she's ugly and guess what most potential customers thought the same and it flopped, the lesson here is to not make ugly female protagonists in vidya

>>714251664
To each their own, can't please everyone.

>>714246572
Sony was sued because of their digital pricing since they abuse the fact that they own the entire ecosystem. But people still don't believe me when I say PC gaming is cheaper in the long run, you just pay upfront for hardware. Returnal is selling for 24€ at the moment.

>>714251350
>soundtrack and general sfx hangs it nuts out big time, worth losing your ears for. (especially for one boss).
The volume of the harpsichord increasing as you climb the fucking tower
Fuck

>>714252330
What about us physical collector types?

>>714245381 (OP)
Ugly character, will never play

>>714252096
yes you can: make hot female charcters

>>714252627
Your loss, the gameplay is really fun.

>>714252685
Let me guess: You still masturbate to cartoon women?

>>714245381 (OP)
There is no cool alien entity, no cool alien orld, it's all in her head.
That's pretty cool huh?
Such a great idea and then add this ugly cunt as the main character and you are set to a great start!
Surely there was no way to chse a better/cool looking character as the main, it would have made the game too attractive and would have made it too popular lol, no, they had to shoot themselves in the foot from the start!
And they are doing the exact same thing in their next game LOL
Surely it's not retardness lol

>>714247624
>oh you think this sandwish is a shit sandwish because there's a turd in it?

>>714255142
>>714255208
So you haven't played it. Noted.

>>714250421
>Saaros

>>714247624
>I was waiting for that one.
Rent free lol

>>714255342
You cared enough to reply

>>714255276
I have, I had the courage to pass through the ugly dyke filter by using a outfit that covers her nasty face, then I was playing, I was intrigued by the world and what the fuck was going on.
Then i watched videos about the story and lore.
Then I lost all interest in the game, because the mysterious world was the most interesting part for me, then they fucked up by going full "it's in her head" shit.
Dropped.

>>714247624
it's amazing how the whiny nagging tone translates into text seamlessly. i can't hear you, yet you're grating on my ears. what a feat.

>>714245381 (OP)
Amazing game. Played a lot of indie trash that people said is similar, but it's a lie. This game is a one of it's kind.

>>714255497
Cry about it.

>>714245381 (OP)
It was pretty good until I realized the game sometimes drops resources for destroying random pots in the enviroment and going for as many as you can gives you a significant advantage

Any anons here that have struggled halfway through act 2 like I am? I'm in the icey area where I have to get the 3 keys for the boss area, fighting those humanoid aliens is absolute hell though

>>714255453
>>714255591
>I was only pretending

>>714249841
>if it didn't look like cinematic 3dpd people would like it more
hot take

>>714255670
>the game sometimes drops resources for destroying random pots in the enviroment and going for as many as you can gives you a significant advantage
Thanks for the tip.

>>714255709
In my opinion that was the hardest biome.
Once i cleared it i one shot the next biome and finished my first cycle.
BIG SPOIL ABOUT THE ICE BIOME
YOU MIGHT WANT NOT TO READ IT
YOU BEEN WARNED ANON
there is no boss in this biome, once you have the three keys you can collect the swimming upgrade and move on

>>714255823
You are welcome, but for me, it got kinda old after a while

>>714255823
They are not that common anyhow

>>714255872
>spoiler
Huh, that's honestly surprising, it any case I guess I just need to keep trying

>>714256052
it also means that you dont have to play that biome more than once if you dont want to, since once you have the swimming gear you can go from biome 4 to 6 directly (albeit being lower level obviously)
But yeah, i found that biome the hardest, the three "minibosses" for the keys and even the regular enemies felt hard as fuck
Lotta flying enemies too
Fuck i might reinstall the fucking game from this thread

>>714255808
weebs aren't people

Still only a 50% discount on steam and barely any cheaper on keys sites; seems weird i expected it to be cheaper.
Also only 6.8 on metacritic users
People are legit retards

>>714256273
>he takes metacritic seriously

>>714256392
no no, was more surprised than anything
mainly because everytime there is a returnal thread the people seem positive about it

Housemarque always delivers fun games, matterfall is very underrated.
Shame their choice of MCs as of late makes people mad.

Oh god, snoys are still coming here to shill their slop.
You have Reddit.

>>714256610
Excuse me, sir, you are interrupting our civil discourse.

>>714256610
You seem upset.
Have you considered Xanax?

>>714256610
I despise Sony and I still enjoyed Returnal. Solid 8.5/10 game for me, though it is a bit stupid that you need to also play the DLC to fully understand the story of the game. If you just play the base game, most people will walk away not understanding fuckall.

>>714257648

>>714256610
It's on PC retard

>>714255493
So you played it very briefly then your ADHD zoomer brain instincts kicked in and you looked up the story details and ending on YouTube or whatever and then got bored of it? Behold! The modern day gamer everyone. LMAO

>>714245381 (OP)
God damn what an ugly character. I'd pass on it just based on that.

>>714260221
>God damn what an ugly character. I'd pass on it just based on that.

sexist

>>714255208
Hello saar, redeem the sandwish

Disregard all /pol/tard opinions, it's a good game. Poor pc optimization but good.

>>714245381 (OP)
one of the best roguelike that exist, only hated here because faggots don't play games.

>>714261071
>best roguelike
>not even a roguelike
>all runs are the same and there's nothing to do after you beat it once

>>714252685
Like stellar blade? A game that got shitposted to death for one “censored” outfit

>>714261191
>>all runs are the same and there's nothing to do after you beat it once

literally not true you retard, shows you didn't play post game time.

>>714261234
Yes, you can do one more run to get the 3deep5u "true ending" and that's it. The game has like 15-20 hours of procedurally generated content, it's laughable, especially for a full price title.

>>714261382
There's the tower dlc, and other unlockable but keep talking out of your ass, retard.

>>714246417
>bland
because ur watching a snoy play a shooter on a controller who is limited by his own actions because hes a retard who chose to buy a snoystation and use a controller for his games

holy fuck what a retard. "bland" lmfao. kys.

Great mod, should have been in the game

>>714247747
retard play the tower dlc they added for free. it ends the story properly. god i hate the snoys ITT so much, bunch of snowflake bitches who dropped this shit after 3 hours thinking they finished the game after dying once and spawning in the same location

>>714255142
the aliens are real nigga the planet just reacts to her emotions and memories like how the previous ayys that lived there did
think of it like silent hill, those monsters are real but they're a reflection of the persons deepest fears and insecurities

>>714245381 (OP)
She is imagining it all to cope for having killed her daughter in a car accident. It’s all in her mind.

>clicks on a roguelike thread to offer tips on how to break the game
i hate these motherfucks like you wouldnt believe

It runs like shit on my beefy rig even after all this time. WTF Sony

>>714245381 (OP)
Boring game, the shooting is eh, but the worst of all: the roguelite gimmick doesn't fit the story
It is too annoying when you die. You have to redo everything. Sometimes, you'll have unlocked some shortcuts in biomes.
And for what? Wow, literal gimmick bosses. I just went until the boss with the floating platforms. Literal knowledge check you can die on the first try.

AND you play a schizo. Enough about the games where you play schizos.

>>714260218
I played for 11 hours, looked up the story because I wanted to know more, and then I was not bored of it, but rather the fact that the story disapointed me and the fact that nothing was real was a let down.
They could have mixed some kind of alien mind fuckery, but no, it was simply le crazy delusional ugly dyke faced wymyn.

>>714245381 (OP)
>secretly the best game of the generation
>/v/ will never admit it because it's a Sony game and Sony bad
Oh well, hopefully Saaros is just as good.

>>714264706
>the roguelite gimmick doesn't fit the story

the whole point is that whatsherface is stuck in a repetitive groundhog day style cycle but okay

>>714245381 (OP)
It's a game that starts good and only goes downhill both in terms of gameplay and narrative. Your first run is the hardest the game will ever be, even after you beat the game, due to them not having any kind of difficulty modifiers. By the time you beat the game once, what began as a difficult struggle has turned into an eye-watering breeze.

Gonna go ahead and spoil the story, because it's "all in le head!!" copout garbage like Callisto Protocol. The vibes of the world, enemy design, and fights are all solid, but they really dropped the ball by at minimum not adding difficulty modifier to keep the post-game interesting. Again, wasted potential.
