His game's out tomorrow.

He's gonna see that it is easy to CRITIQUE a beautiful game like Dark Souls 2 but not so very easy for to be when you're the person actually MAKING the games.

Lol. Dark Souls 2 looks like shit.

>>716018705 (OP)
>His game's out tomorrow.
I thought this was a meme, but I just checked his patreon and it looks like it's true. How the hell was he able to make that so fast when there are tons of other indie devs making basic ass pixelart/unity shit that take a bajillion years

>>716020420
assert that your opponent is actively deceitful, and refuse to engage at all
never go "you just don't get it" however

I still don't know why he's the go-to video essay man on here. Dude's a charisma vacuum, does that make him inoffensive to autists? Is it literally just because of all the arguing around dork sauce?

>>716018705 (OP)
Video games, faggot, VIDEO GAMES!

>>716022623
good critics don't need charisma

>>716021981
He was spending every moment he wasn't streaming working on it apparently.

>>716021981
>How the hell was he able to make that so fast
It took quite a long time all things considered. Also is a Gameboy puzzle game.
>>716022623
You might be gay anon. We want "deep analytical" critiques, he could be citing spreadsheets and I wouldn't be bothered. I mean I watch Patrician and it doesn't bother me.

>>716023019
>it's been 4 years since meta microvideos
Well fuck me I guess

>>716023251
It didn't take THAT long to be fair. At the time he was doing his other game (I think he was also modifying Game Maker (the engine itself)), which was a Castlevania like, I think?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJj6dZKRoIg
Then he put that on hold to focus on a GB style puzzle game. https://www.patreon.com/posts/brief-update-106722754
The game itself looks like a take on Minesweeper https://store.steampowered.com/app/3816700/Logic_Bombs/ I don't remember if it's playable on actual hardware or not.

>>716021981
>How the hell was he able to make that so fast
lmao, GMTK made and released two bigger games than Matt's despite having started devving from no prior experience later than Mathosis, while still balancing his normal youtube upload schedule.
Of course Matt seems like he was going at lightspeed when compared to retards who will never release their games but he was by no means fast.

>>716022856
I never understood this argument.

>only $5
I was always going to buy it purely to support him but now I might have to buy a few copies.

Matt has my respect solely for scaling down for his first actual game and making something more simple
It takes a certain kind of intelligence to make a decision like that

>Secondly, if all goes as planned I’ll be putting up a video on the main channel concurrent with the launch of the game. I know some of you are excited to dive in but consider checking out the video before you do so. If you all skip the video then Youtube might think my viewers are less interested than usual and banish it to the farthest reaches of the algorithm. Presumably there are a bunch of viewers who don’t know about Logic Bombs yet, the video will be their way of finding out. It’ll be short and it’ll even include a little tidbit of analysis about logic puzzles so you might enjoy watching it anyway.
KINO INCOMING

I don't know if Matthew still lurks this shithole, but if he does, I want to let him know I will be graciously pirating his game.

i'm so fucking ready bros

>>716020416
@grok is this true?

>>716020238
it was the first big one and it has ruined Souls discussion to this day. It's one the most damaging youtube videos ever .

>>716027859

wow..... so exciting..... totally what his viewers want from him.

>>716020386
He's been shilling himself for the past +10 years.

>>716028346
Yeah, it totally makes sense to make a game and then not tell anyone about it
That's a winning marketing move, anon
The AAA gaming industry should hire you

When it comes /v/ devs, I'm sure it'll at least be better than Underspace.

>worthless narcissist critic deludes himself into thinking hes a real creative

this has never ended well in the history of time. if a critic was capable of creating they wouldnt be critics to begin with. if he wasnt le popular overrated eceleb guy no one would ever play or care about this game.

>>716028506
patrons get keys early

>>716028506
Looking over his Patreon, he apparently sent out keys to anyone who donated the game's asking price since he started doing game dev. Could be that anon is a paypig.

>>716028501
Are we not counting our home grown Infiniminer clone?

>>716028335
>t has ruined Souls discussion to this day.
Yeah but only because now you ds2 retards can just deflect every argument by bringing up ecelebs.

>>716027859
It ain't gonna go as planned, faggot.

>>716028735
Are people still genuinely upset by the dark souls 2 video or is it some kind of joke?

>>716028539
Knowing that he didn't really know how to make videogames was the whole reason he wanted to make one initially.

not buying this game unless the word nigger is used in it.

I would be interested in hearing him talk about the technical side of shipping the game to pc and the issues that comes up. Huge respects for not shipping bloat to users just to draw a few quads

>>716028470
I had a great time with Underspace, what's wrong with it?

>>716029551
>majority of the galaxy outside the starting area is still completely unfinished and contentless
>is adding interior decoration for room you can own on the starter planet instead
>meanwhile all the space stations don't even have walls or textures
>graphical glitches and quest objectives vanishing are still frequent for most missions
>removed auto-docking with stations because they're too incompetent to do what Freelancer did in 200-fucking-3

The game used to have TTS speech in the demo but the anti-AI fervor was really starting around this time and they bullied the dev into removing them but they claimed that "voice-acting wasn't intended anyway" to save face but that's a total fucking lie because his one in-game waifu (pic related) still has a voice.
The bigger issue is that it's basically impossible to follow the story as many scenes have groups of people talking with no indication of who is talking currently OR you're in a life and death dogfight in space the text is tiny and has no backdrop and in game timers he added to options menu literally dont fucking work.

>>716030254
>completely unfinished and contentless
I've got 40 something finished quests in my log just from exploring random places, are you not checking your map?

>>716030452
its kind of hard do a lot of that when this is a regular occurrence

>>716030254
>majority of the galaxy outside the starting area is still completely unfinished and contentless
I only ever ran into planets that were placeholders, and that's gone completely with the last update they did. If anything there was TOO much content, I have no idea if I miss things in a star system
>graphical glitches and quest objectives vanishing are still frequent for most missions
Only issue I ever had was two of the same mission competing at once, I don't think an actual storyline ever fucked up for me
>removed auto-docking with stations because they're too incompetent to do what Freelancer did in 200-fucking-3
There's a key to turn it back on
>voice-acting wasn't intended anyway
He said voice acting would be one of the last things added and say it all the time

>>716030757
The first big update hadn't even come out, bitch missed out on getting to kill Logan Paul for the state.

>>716031076
There was no real reason to remove them, they could have just been a toggle-able option.

>>716031376
Getting cracked downed by Gabe for using undisclosed AI seems like a good reason
But you're somehow an AI waifufag, which .asked me turn my nose up at you. Get a normal waifu, fag

It's literally Pokémon Heart Gold's Voltorb Flip

I would prefer to feel optimistic about the future of Underspace and potential voice that doesn't sound like shit voiced by the precious discord troons being so spineless doesn't do any favors for teh dev.

Lol

>>716032393
AI tts has existed since the 90's at least. It's only the latest zoomer boogieman

>>716032439
Just because it's existed forever doesn't mean it doesn't sound like garbage. You fell in love with fucking Microsoft Sam and get mad that nobody else shares your weird obsession

>>716031885
I hate voltorb flip so much

>>716032531
Your opinion isn't fact and your dislike of it does not invalidate what what it does. It was present in the game and it's removal was a virtue signal from a pussy dev.

Why does this always happen?

Looks lame

He thinks Dark souls 2 is a 7/10 btw.

>>716028771
making them? they're easier to make than 3D action games and no matter how well they understand game design the tubers are beginner devs making their first games

playing them? they're autistic men.

>>716032758
This is more of the linage of nonograms, I think he said he was playing dungeon and diagrams from last call bbs before making this game. If anyone’s interested, Dragonsweeper an actual game based on minesweeper by the storyteller dev

>>716023931
>I don't remember if it's playable on actual hardware or not
It is

>>716031885
No its not lol

What is his game called? Also he has objectively been right on his takes about the Soulsborne games.

>>716038442
Nah his DS2 video hasn't aged well at all.

He spent years on this?

funny how the trailer acts like there are no distractions saying it is pure logic when you can tell it is just very barren as a game since it is a first attempt

>>716037265
Hasn't he spent like 4+ years working on a simple 2d platformer? And it's still not even close to completion? lol

>>716039207
>no "distractions"
>literally just saying there are no features

buy an ad

>>716038518
Shitting on DS2 is the logical thing to do if you're not brain damaged.

>>716035017
he edits footage together to cut out mistakes he made so its not like he was ever good at these games

>>716039553
Look man I'm not in my teens or 20s anymore I'm not interested in these low iq internet arguments. His DS2 video hasn't aged well.

>>716039720
You proved them right.

>>716039749
i'm not even the anon they were replying to you dumb retard, it's just obviously fucking stupid to expect someone to type an actual response when you're admitting you're not ever going to engage with it and your personal feelings are cemented in place no matter what they say
you should also kill yourself

>>716039808
Genuine question but do you think formatting your post to read like any buttmad incel who lost an argument is going to register with anyone? Saying "kill yourself" doesn't shock anyone it just makes you sound like a massive sperg yelling at your parents.

This is sad

>>716039937
geniune question but will you kill yourself? no but seriously, you're obviously this same person >>716039645 and, no, people aren't going to sit and write you actual responses or treat you nicely when you shit in the water and state you're never going to change your mind no matter what and wont respond
the crybullying here is so fucking pathetic "waaah you're replying like an incel waaah i only said i was never going to even try to engage with anything you said because im not a teenager loser like you waaah!!"
last response btw to show you how to actually leave a thread since your victim complex isn't allowing you an out until you get an apology

Cope. Dark Souls 2 is garbage and he's right about the series going to shit since the very beginning.

>>716040073
Long response so clearly someone is mad.

>complains about the abundance of healing in DS2, with gems he voluntarily uses/farms for, or the early regen ring where if you afk for 15-20 minutes you can heal up
>0 mention of grass farming when talking about DeS, 0 mention of DeS regen build which remains the strongest and most broken in the souls series
I feel like the 1st half of DS1 was so it good it just warped peoples brains on what the rest of that game and the souls series as a whole is like.

Now bonfire saturation and sip speed made it moot so its not even a criticism you see anymore.

>>716040265
no one is even talking about that anymore. focus shifted to how retarded you are acting lol

how often did matthew read /v/ and say the shit he knew people here wanted to hear?

most of his takes sound braindead in a modern setting.

>>716040307
He flat out says that healing was kinda shitty in Demons and they completely fixed it with Dark which is why it's such an issue to him that they reverted to a worse system in Dark 2. They fixed what was broken and then threw the solution out.

>>716040327
That's right everyone is laughing at Fromdrones and how shallow and gay their games really are after many cash grab rushed slop they release each year.

>>716040378
Explains why a shitty Picross game is all he could come up with after years

>>716039645
That's correct. Souls games have a dogshit lock-on/camera. I know you're stupid and have never played another real-time game before but that's the truth.

>>716040535

Indie pixel slop is good as long as /ourguy/ made it.

This game plans to unlock in approximately less than an hour

>>716040307

>>716028020
Logic... bombed...

>>716040957
anons desperately wanted someone to be there to give them their opinions as long as they sounded intellectual. being uncharismatic and borderline retarded is what manlets on this board think is intelligence.

>>716022856
You can replace his name with a random dumb comment ID from the catalog and it would still be a viable discussion. Point still stands that developing your own shit is a different ball park than being the end consoomer critic.

I don't get why some maggots defend absolute shit games like Dark Souls 2. What type of psychological warfare do they have to go through to think a shit game is redeemable at any point in time?

Goes to show how shit this game is because nobody gives a fuck and are discussing Dark Souls 2 instead.

>>716040898
matthew would shill here so he became an exception case

Is it available to pirate yet?

>>716041401
Be honest and look at the trailer. Would you even want to? The only players are going to be fans of his videos.

>>716040843
I'm seeing one reply to me, yeah.

>>716041685
it took you that long to come up with that?

>>716041769
DaS2trannies really are stupid. What makes you form a cult around an objectively bad game.

where the fuck is it. my steam went from saying "releases in under an hour" to "coming soon"

This guy was all talk. And it was all monotone too.

wgere the fuck is it

Has he been hitting the bottle again?

starting to suspect this guy may have been retarded all along

>>716022856
he is videogames now retard. he made a game called logic bombs

>matthewfagosis

>Matthew Phimosis

4 more years of waiting

>>716043119
Meanwhile Hollow Knight took twice as long and has 0 slopes. Add another 7 years for slopeless Silksong.
>>716043176
Pagodamonium is on hold, presumably because it's a lot more work and starting with releasing something small and slowly building up from there is a better use of time.

>>716044105
Silksong has slopes thoughbeit

Hello ladies and gentleman, this is the first in a series of four delays I'll be doing for Logic Bombs.

>>716044105
ok this is too retarded not to be matthew posting lol

the thing is he ended the video saying he'd much rather play dark souls 2 than any other game released that year. but because he didn't spend 40 minutes sucking from off and declaring them god's gift to gaming he has a horde of dedicated haters lol

IT'S UP

>>716044146
If that's true then why have shitty steps like this that the player has to press jump for instead of just a fucking slope.
>>716044181
Matthew is probably uploading the YT video right now and too busy to shitpost here.

>>716044105
>oddly proud of slopes, a relatively uninteresting feature that most people wouldn't consider

>>716044286
>when the game hasn't figured out how to make slopes

>>716044295
Sounds a lot like the description for Logic Bombs making a big deal of basic ass features any game has.

it's up

This feels so fucking amateur that I don't think it warranted a price tag. Already crashed on me twice.

i boughteded
will not play it

>>716044295
things are a lot more interesting when you're creating something versus just consuming it. just listen to any musician prattle on about the instruments they use, for example

>>716044338
Stairs are generally at an incline of 30-38° which is very uncomfortable to walk up as a slope in real life

>>716044309

wise to post a trailer to his channel because no one outside of his crowd are going to buy this.

>>716044369
The description says that there are levels, no extras, and that the difficulty increases, except phrased in a manner to make it sound like this is some profound new concept

Warren Spector was right when he said puzzles are boring, problems (as in more than one solution) are interesting and gives a game longevity.

>>716022856
Logic Bomb is a video game

>>716044451
That reminds me of Marty Friedman from Megadeth ranting about technical details that he picks up as a musician while listening to AKB48 instead of just saying "Mayuyu is cute" like a normal person

>>716044105

where is your game, hamsterson? you said this decade

have you ever made a game?

>>716044643
It's not that they're rare it's just that getting collision detection to work well with them is way more work than most people think about and many devs either don't bother at all or leave them kinda janky. Matt got obsessed with making it as smooth as he could for a while.

It's not an argument, it's an attempt at backseat moderating.

the worst puzzles are stuff like old zelda puzzles or adventure games where the rules, setup, and solution are all arbitrary and on top of that only one solution is possible

>>716044758
Matthew just because you have no idea what you are talking about doesnt mean you have to pretend other developers struggle with something so basic

this

I'm really confused on how to play this

>>716044984
i mean clearly other developers do struggle with them given theres a lot of games where they aren't present. matthew got into the whole slope autism in the first place when he realized that super metroid didn't have any slopes

>>716045017

Thanks for destroying my ears Matthew.

>>716045107

>>716018705 (OP)
Where's the twist where the game turns into undertale

>>716045107
>when he realized that super metroid didn't have any slopes

>>716045231
or maybe it was how super metroid used slopes interested him, idk it was a stream like 3 years ago
anyway it was something metroid related given that he played nothing but super metroid randomizer for a year

>>716045107
You run down a slope like 1 minute into Super Metroid. Mario World also has slopes 1 minute in

>>716045278
>given that he played nothing but super metroid randomizer for a year
And he still couldn't do the basic tricks. KWAB.

>>716045293
matthew is a genius leave him alone. slopes are hard and are never in games.

>>716045371
who cares

>>716045278
Matt looked at how 2D Sonic games handle slope collision.

Mega Man 11 doesn't have any slopes

>>716045442
Me.

Hey

Wasnt this supposed to be a sidescroller?

>>716043119
the fact this image got 'somebody' so defensive says a lot lol

>>716045679
no he stopped working on that project because it evolved into waiting for a bunch of assets before more work could be done, he will presumably start working on the side scroller again after this

>>716045831
Or quit making games since this one sucks so bad

>>716045831
Maybe his slave was making all the art assets while he was developing that puzzle game?

>>716045925
it came out like 10 minutes ago, a bit too early to say it sucks, no?
saying it sucks is a different from just not being interested in puzzle games or gameboy graphics, btw

>>716045943
probably

>>716045831
You absolutely can make a game before the art assets are done
Look at Braid

>>716046196
not the best example considering blow's sokoban

>>716045093
You have to fill in all the spots with either a wall or an x. The numbers tell you how many walls are in that row/column, the bombs tell you how many enemies they kill, and the blue dudes tell you how many "zones" to break the level into.
>>716045546
>Mega Man 11 doesn't have any slopes
Actually, you'll find many slopes in the game's credits.

Managed to finish the introductory/tutorial stages in 19 minutes. The last one was a big difficulty spike but it's interesting.

I can only assume its the same with game reviewers.

>>716047851

the game needs more QoL features like "undo"

how is that stealing an idea when in the comment he literally admits to just being inspired by it and creating his own original system

There are a few good YT reviewer games which is why I was hoping Matt was going to be one of those. I guess not. Hope he still works on that platformer.

Now mecha will announce a game, finish it in 2 months, and it will be better than logic bombs

Reminder this was coded in assembly and runs on the original GameBoy.

>>716048983
>Remember he actually loves the souls games
No he doesn't. He loves to project their limited understanding of their mechanics on the game he wanted to make
>His critiques are unironicly meant to help From.
The idea that Fromsoftware needs help or tips from fucking Matthewmatosis is ludicrous, dude.

dw, hes gonna try to prove you wrong with his collection of about 500 webms

>>716049503
Oh, so the "free" game cost only $5 not $24, good to know.
But the point still stands, he got constant funding during the unreasonably development given what the game is and then released a flash-tier game for $5 anyway.

>>716048983
>His critiques are unironicly meant to help From.

Why should duo fights be in the game?

>>716049632

>Matt responds to YT comments
>yet Matt refuses to post on /v/ ever again
I guess I can't blame him. Zoomers and thirdies have become the majority here.

>>716049660
Because the combat of Souls games is heavily centered around the positional nuance of hitboxes and the ability to debilitate and manage enemies, so there's no game design rule about how many enemies should be in a fight.
Only shitters hate duo bosses

Any bros actually playing the game, tell me if I'm dumb here

>5-bomb needs a set of two and a set of 3
>2-bombs have to go off vertically to hit two enemies

Does anyone have the real state video edit with matthew as the neighbor

>>716049728
>it took like what, 8 months to make this game?
He hasn't put out a video in 2 years

steam deck niggers, are the A and B buttons switched? ingame says A for wall and B for marker. but the buttons function the opposite way

The game seems great so far. 160 puzzles for 5 dollars seems like great value too

>>716049862
Yeah we all do

>>716049781
And a duo fight was ever only good with biggie and smalls.

>>716049938
Not for me. Are you using the Nintendo layout in the setting?

>>716049497
I recall him making a comment somewhere but I can't find it; I know for sure he's dabbled in assembly due to TIS-100 and requiring it for his W101 mod at least.

>>716049904
so? do you think he was developing logic bombs as soon as the last video was put out?
none of it matters anyway because every patron knows that its mainly charity they're donating for, he's never guaranteed any product for their money, and he often pauses payments regardless when he feels he hasn't done enough work in a month

You can press the button in the bottom right to switch them, maybe you pressed it by accident or something

>>716050174
Mushido got cancelled because of Ghost and Goblin's Resurrection and the game requiring too much art.

this one is filtering me hard
no idea what the zone malarky means

>>716050148
no he didn't, I checked his patreon and 2 years ago he was still working on project regulus which is entirely unrelated to logic bombs

>>716050276
I know you're retarded but hitting an enemy a couple of times and then running away for a little bit, before repeating the process is not interesting or dynamic gameplay. You want an actual good duo fight, play DMC3.

>>716050318
Zones are sections of the level that are completely blocked off from each other with walls; in your case you need to separate the two blue guys on the bottom left.

What duo bosses allow you to hitstun them

Who is Match and who is Co?

Duo bosses are dumb because they make controlling the camera a central mechanic
Oh and the fact that they're about waiting for two punish opportunities to overlap

>>716050718
I mean fromsoft decided to abandon interesting boss design and instead make bosses a game of "wait for the opening" so in that scenario duo fights would be inherently more difficult and interesting than single fights.

The "logic" part of the puzzles are pretty easy, it's more about paying attention and remembering the rules. And not accidentally misclicking because there's no CTRL+Z.

>>716050816
Fair but post DaS from bosses arent well designed

I'm stuck on this one, I'm just trying random patterns because I'm not sure where you even begin to solve this.

>>716050281
thanks anon

>>716050396
this is as far as I can get, rest is a mystery

Sorry Matt sama, but I can't buy this because if I get confronted with my low iq again I'll prob be dead by evening.

>>716050816
The wait for opening bosses are a trillion times better than the shit we had in DeS. The only people complaining about post DS1 From boss design are faggots who don't play vidya and spend days talking about hypotheticals. Artorias of the Abyss changed the boss formula in Souls games for the better.

>>716048026

I love nonograms

>>716051201
Just post in the thread you faggot.

>>716050983
The trick is the diamonds each have to be in their own zone, so it's all about drawing the walls to make three separate areas.
Actually not sure if there's more to it, I just kind of pictured a solution that seemed like it'd work.

>>716051201
I get it's a passion project or whatever but that's legit fucking stupid

>>716051169
its just not that interesting, it turns an action adventure game into a patience test. fine enough if you like that kinda design it was just a strange direction for the series to take

>>716050983
Okay, I solved it. Still don't really understand how you can solve this step-by-step without some guesswork on where some of the tiles should be.

>>716051201
What about pressing A and B at the same time?

>>716051169
Nope. Fighting bosses in Bloodborne and Sekiro. Fighting bosses in ER is a fucking chore. It's not hard you, it's just mechanically boring.

>>716049386
He liked all Souls games except DS2. Same goes for MauLer. Everyone likes all Souls games except DS2 and /v/ is this one special ed retarded outlier that is the opposite.

>inspired by a zachtronics picross-like
>people itt calling it minesweeper or sudoku or voltorb flip
really shows you just how low video game literacy is in this hellhole

>>716051326
I haven't played it but in minesweeper sometimes logic can't help you and you have to use probability to find the most likely solution. Is it similar here?

>>716051271
why do you need a dedicated undo button when you can undo by just reversing the moves you just did

>>716051360
is fun*

>>716051261
I got that part, I'm just not seeing the logical steps you need to take to arrive there (like in picross) except through guessing. I hope there is one because that puzzle was the first one I didn't like.

>>716051407
Because one is more convenient than the other

>>716050357
>but hitting an enemy a couple of times and then running away for a little bit, before repeating the process is not interesting or dynamic gameplay.
It's not interesting if you suck at it and you are incompetent, which I guess you are.

>>716051294
Did you even play this games or just get all your knowledge from shitposting on /v/? DS3 and ER allow you to be very aggressive and ER tweaked the stagger mechanism for the explicit purpose of rewarding aggressive playstyle.
Let's call spade a spade here. DeS and DS1 were slow games and fairly easy compared to BB and latter games. I think y'all dinosaur millenials are just filtered by the new games being too fast. You know you don't have to wait for the entire combo to finish? You can sneak in attacks in between and interrupt the enemies. Git gud.

>>716051351
He was replying to my comment. He doesn't like us anymore. Or just the real reason is he grew out of 4chan like most people who aren't autistic eventually do.

>>716051401
All the puzzles before this one didn't need it so I'm not sure. I'm guessing not because they aren't randomly generated puzzles, so there is one solution, meaning you can't get stuck in these probabilities situations.

The game looks fine but it is just picross.

>>716051498
It's not hard. It's just boring. Play more action games, Fromdrone.

yeah thats the thing if i had to guess which franchise would pride itself with super fast paced "git gud scrub" gameplay, the super slow atmospheric exploration game that was a low budget spiritual successor to king's field wouldn't be the top of my list

>>716051383
>He liked all Souls games
No he didn't. He pretends to like them but fails at engaging with its mechanics, which means he ends up gradually hating more games that lead into them, because he is a tendie that wants edgy Zelda

>>716051536
>>716051240

>>716049560
i'm sure its fine and decently enjoyable to play, but its just thoroughly uninteresting. its minesweeper/picross with slightly different rules. i would maybe play it if it was a free web browser game, but there are already so many free things that scratch this itch. i could play thousands of miracle sudokus for free. there are thousands of free picross puzzles available online. i can do thousands of cryptic crosswords for free. and that's is all this is, it's pen and paper newspaper game tier.

the fact that its on gameboy will maybe make people think its something like tetris, but it isnt. tetris was completely original and infinitely replayable. this is just a few puzzles built by slightly tweaking an existing set of rules.

i would've hoped for something closer to downwell from him, which is original, interesting, and exciting, despite having a tiny scope. this is just boring at a conceptual level, even if it maybe works decently as a way to pass the time.

>>716019768
Unironically this, zoomies don’t know it, but dark souls 2 essentially created the video game youtube essay, which is the actual worst part of the game

Nobody wants their real identity tied to 4chan. When you get big(ish) you just pretend you were never here. Fortunately, 4chins aren't unhinged by modern internet standards and let people go without hounding or stalking them. Other places are outright offended if a big personality leaves them.

I think the idea is that you are spending money for a higher quality logic experience then what you can get online. Puzzle books exist, yknow.
There's plenty of FPS games I can play for free too, that doesn't make a higher quality paid FPS less valuable

>>716051682
He very much said in his videos he likes DeS to DaS3 and on Twitter he said he liked Sekiro. The only one he has never given his opinion is on ER.

Nobody wants that since Souls aren't about puzzles.

It's because reviewers (and their reviews) are extrinsically motivated. They play these games not out of pure joy, but out of obligation to check them off their list while trying to break down a game into its constituents. Vidya game reviewers are often blind to the broader picture of how fun (or unfun) the game actually is, and are incapable of articulating why a game is or isn't fun.

desu the writing was on the wall with the engine change that came with BB
slow games are kinda gone, new games are all spergy
I think the average mechanical skill level of a vidya enjoyer went up significantly over the years so devs had to compensate
nowadays we have more DMC3 esque games than we had during 7th, arguably as many as we did during 6th gen
the average skill level of ALL gamers went down but the overlap between e.g. asscreed and soulslike players is small

>>716052008
i hate most vidya essayists but one made a good point about how FROM had to cater to its fanbase by making fights faster and more difficult, but also causalize the game to appeal to a wider audience, and the result we get is summons in ER
i was certainly surprised to see a game like BG3 with its glacially slow pacing be so well adored by the gaming mass, so maybe tastes are changing?

>>716018705 (OP)

>>716050816
There's no "wait for opening" bosses. You just suck at the game which is why you will never post yourself actually playing
>>716050718
Controlling the camera is a core mechanic. It's useful to move freely, to aim properly and even to hit melee attacks while actually avoiding attacks with the same motion. You hate the game and even more so specifically parts of it because you refuse to engage with the game as a whole, and so does Matthewmatosis, which is the actual and only drive behind his critiques.
That's how you get retarded posts like >>716051294

>>716052148
>a good point about how FROM had to cater to its fanbase by making fights faster and more difficult
They didn't cater to anything. It's entirely driven by augmenting and expanding how combats flow to make them more interesting.
>but also causalize the game to appeal to a wider audience, and the result we get is summons in ER
Yes summoning never existed before Elden Ring

>>716049386
This guy really sucks at Dark Souls 2.

>>716051425
Think about the sixth row. There is only one place where the wall can go without causing two blue guys to become connected. Everything else comes from there.

All this game did was make me download last call bbs to replay dungeons and diagrams

>>716051869
but i dont think this is higher quality than any of the things i mentioned. the free online miracle sudokus are often genius, and they exist for free because there is a passionate community making them. same with cryptic crosswords and other puzzles, they're often genius and brilliantly designed.

puzzle books exist not because they contain higher quality puzzles, but to be bought by 70 year olds who dont know how to use a computer.

anyway, i'm not saying this is necessarily a bad purchase, it is cheap at the end of the day and i'm sure its fun enough. its just that its completely underwhelming for a project from matthewmatosis, when he has covered incredible indie games like dustforce, rainworld, downwell, devil daggers etc. people would've been more excited for something along those lines. or at least anything that couldnt have existed on the back page of a newspaper.

>>716052214

the 0 and 10 rows are solved obviously
the spaces to the left of the blue tears with one block in the row can't be on the left of them and wouldn't be on the right of the enemies
the spaces to clear the enemy bomb things is easy

Anyone that still comes to this place after it got btfo by basedteens is a complete retard loser.

Biggest dark souls 2 fag on the planet here
some people are actually upset, the video was fine, I don't agree with a lot of his points but they're very understandable and it's not a bad video at all. He didn't even dislike the game, he was just a bit disappointed in it. Likely the reason it gets so much ire now is that it spawned a million shitty fucking video essays about how the games shit by retards deliberately playing the game wrong and tanked the games reputation and made discussion on it impossible.
Dark souls 2 is a very, very flawed game. But the aftermath was full of the extremely disingenuous. None of this is matthewmatosis's fault

>>716022623
The Link will never mount Mipha joke is reason alone to like him.

>>716051169
>Artorias of the Abyss
more like diddy of the discord

>>716052597
Fake opinion informed by countless poser e-celebs who also don't ever play above level 2.

>>716052582
And Roger Ebert is a hack. What's your point?

>>716052349
No it works very well, even the controls are directly build specifically for it. You just suck at it and this layer of depth is inaccessible to you
>>716052579
Nice fallacy, faggot. Keep being butthurt

>>716052597
the best ofc being urban reign

And on the note of nonograms, these are really easy to make, you make the image and then there's programs that will convert that into the numbers for you.

>>716052716
>No it works very well,
Fromdrones being delusional retards? Where have I seen this before.

>>716052582
of course not. its just that this release from him is completely proving your point, and it's disappointing. his game reviews are great so it would be amazing if he made a great game too, but he hasnt. as has been said many times, this game would be getting 0 attention on this board if it was made by anyone else.

>>716052716
it's not a fallacy, and I'm not that anon.

Elden Ring has a completely new summon system beside just summoning an NPC or a player, and it's absolutely the easiest non broken build way to play the game

>>716052430
God Hand doesn't cause seethe or filter anyone but IGN

>>716052503
true
it's like they took RE4's melee attacks and reverse engineered them into a whole DMC game
unique and interesting but not good

Game sucks.

>>716052684
That's cool, you have shit taste and GH is still the second best PS2 action game.

>>716052737
Do they check if they're solvable without leaps of faith?

>>716052819
comment about how actually you're supposed to play with unlocked camera and locking and unlocking the camera throughout the fight is a skill and was implemented by design in 3, 2, 1...

game's great, thread sucks, being contrarian can be funny but unfortunately nobody here is funny

>>716052897

ur treating matthewmatosis like he's john romero pre-daikatana and not just some guy on the internet who worked a shitty programming job for a few years

>>716052827
the skills of making a videogame are very different from the skills of reviewing a game and editing a youtube video. this isn't even a dunk on matthew its just common sense.

>>716052962
Parrot who exactly? Matt? Has never said anything about GH before.

>>716053020
>Has never said anything about GH before.
He called it "unapologetically gamey" in his God of War 2018 video. Something that every poser loves to hear about their fake favorite game.

>>716044647
oh my god of course it's a reina shitter

A reset button and undo would be nice

>>716053020
because he probably cant finish it

>>716052446
Him being good or bad at the game has nothing to do with the camera being dogshit.

>>716052592
Think harder about the bottom left blue guy. It HAS to be connected to at least one monster. So the cell above it can't be a wall. Go from there and think about the fact that two blue guys can't be in the same zone.

>>716052592
The blue guy in the bottom left corner must be connected to at least one bomb and at least one monster. That means that the block above him cannot be a wall

>>716053104
Woah anon slow down, he's not Carmack

>>716053104
reset can be done from the level select screen and holding the B button

>>716052503
>This well-regarded cult classic? Shit, actually.
This website needs new material. The only games immune to this, so far, are ones where they're already incredibly flawed and the fanbase knows it, like VtM:B.

>tfw the $5 puzzle game didn't revolutionize gaming and revitalize the dying console market

>>716052819
Hugging and rolling into bosses is about the level of intellect I expect from retarded drones filtered by Souls games.
The camera control of Souls games is excellent
>>716052828
>it's not a fallacy
Yes it is. Summoning always existed for shitters who needed. Shitters also complaining because they need it and instead asking easy mode is not new either.

>>716053219
It's well-regarded by people who have barely played it. In other words: a poser classic.

>>716052936
Yes, at least all the nonograms I've ever played, and I've done some pretty big hard ones with some friends, there's always a logic train to follow. That logic might require some intense deduction, though.

>>716018705 (OP)
stuck on level 6 please help

>>716052214
Low-immersion-effort, high-logic-effort puzzle games are kino of the highest degree.
Perfect for playing as you "second game" between long stretches of immersive gameplay.

It's what high IQ, friendless people play instead of some online multiplayer slop.

>>716053092
You sound particularly assblasted about GH. Do you have an issue with actual gameplay mechanics like the retarded tank controls and KMS being shit, or are you just a retarded Fromdrone crying about actual action games again.

>>716018705 (OP)
Instant new cult classic

>>716053275
i think its funny how the only comment you haven't obsessively replied to is the one about enemies hitting you through walls because you know there's no defense for it kek

>>716053218
Thanks

>>716053307
I was talking about the "converters" doing the checking rather than playing solvable ones, but yeah all nonograms I've played have been solvable without logic leaps, even if some took me hours. And I've only gone for 30x30 at most.

>>716053291
Yeah, I'm sure that's how it is. Faggot.

Generic indieslop that isn't worth more than a dollar.

>>716053352
There's nothing to defend.

I wouldn't even pirate this

that's it?

>>716052214
tranime posters are always the most stupid people ever

>>716053330
The game is fundamentally broken above level 2. It is not a coincidence at all that the only people praising it on youtube do not have the skills to go above level 2. And the game's own trailers are almost entirely on level 2.
>>716053390
Glad you agree. Every time I see someone praising this piece of shit I just know they're a fake.

>>716053275
>The camera control of Souls games is excellent
It's complete dogshit. Why can't I rotate the camera while locked on? Why can't I zoom out? Why does it randomly break? Why does the camera exist within the games boundaries? Why does fights like this webm >>716052819
always end up as a clusterfuck? Why are you a subhuman shit-eating retard?

>>716053541
>The game is fundamentally broken above level 2
Why? Never played it, but curious

>>716053541
>The game is fundamentally broken above level 2
Explain.

>>716052252
>Controlling the camera is a core mechanic.
Then it's a shitty core mechanic because it uses the thumb you would use to press or hold the dodge/run button.

>"Claw grip"
not a valid argument because controllers weren't designed for that and it's uncomfortable as fuck.
>"Quickly move you fingers when you need to roll"
If it was only rolling, then I'd be less critical, but there are multiple times when you want to run and move the camera at the same time.

>>716052819
Since you are a complete retard that can only roll forward and hit, i'll let you on a little hint: you can keep distance and you are meant to, you don't even need to unlock

>>716053436
what is it some super special lore that enemies can phase through walls but you can't or something

>people care more about his videos than his game

lol logic bomb is bombing

>>716053669
Since you're a stupid piece of shit I'll give you a little tip: plenty of 3D action games don't have this issue.

>>716053632
>Then it's a shitty core mechanic because it uses the thumb you would use to press or hold the dodge/run button.
only retards play souls on pads, 3d action games were meant for kbm controls, also recenter bind

Never seen such a blatant example of a game only getting some attention because of who made it. There is little to no value here.

Ok how many indie devs have ripped off this guy?

>>716053617
>>716053625
Enemy AI all swarm you at once, Gene barely has any decent crowd control moves. This turns the game into the lamest shit ever. Protip: any playthroughs on youtube where something cool happens was savestated. The game is extremely popular in third world shitholes where people all just cheat.

>>716023936
To be fair to make he was working as a solo dev making a proprietary engine within the GameBoy's limitations. The wench does the sound, art, and UI and he talked about how he should have gotten her on board sooner as it took a few days to get something UI/Art-style wise they agreed upon.

GMTK has much more support and is using readily made tools. It's clear Matt values constraining himself to both the hardware specs and gamestyle limitations the gameboy provides. Also he probably thought, "if it's good enough for Tetris, it's good enough for me."

>>716053820
You can just admit you're bad at games.

>>716053820
>The game is extremely popular in third world shitholes
you're one to talk, you're russian

>>716053795
Unironically one of the most influential indie devs of all time

>>716053119
>>716053146
this is the only way I can think to give them both their own monsters and one tear each, but the block count fucks up this way
this is fucked

>>716053795
Too many. Throw him a donation instead of paying Matt for ripping off his idea.

I don't want to hate Dark Souls 2 anymore, and that's good by me

>>716053881
You can admit you've barely played your "favorite" game.
>>716053882
>you're russian
Wrong.

>>716053820
>Gene barely has any decent crowd control moves.
Only applies to KMS.

Lots of brainlets in this thread. No, there’s never any guesswork involved, you can solve everything with logic. Like he said a million times when explaining the game in his video and in the game itself.

>>716053874
>To be fair to make he was working as a solo dev making a proprietary engine within the GameBoy's limitations

this was his own fault and does not make the game better in any way whatsoever.

> GMTK has much more support and is using readily made tools
Which is why he's able to make better products faster. The development process is irrelevant, only the end product matters.

>>716053632
all games should be designed for claw grip, it's how you get the most out of a controller
>>716053778
souls controls like dogshit on kbm

>>716054021
When your only reliable crowd control is invincibility mode and cutscene attacks, then you really fucked up.

>>716053943
are you the guy who spams those toby fox "plagiarism" spam links in hopes of getting him cancelled

>>716054054
this game looks like generic pixel garbage any 13 year old would have made

the sketchbook look is fucking ugly, how was it made by his artist gf and not thrown together by someone with no art experience in the span of a day?
and I'm not hating on her art in general, her mushido stuff looked good.

>>716054082
>all games should be designed for claw grip, it's how you get the most out of a controller
controllers should be designed for claw grip, then.
I actually think they should

>>716053820
>The game is extremely popular in third world shitholes
I'm a third worlder and believe me when i say this, BARELY anyone from any third world country knows this game or let alone played it, last time i showed this game to my friends they looked at it like a monkey looking at fire

>>716053545
>Why does fights like this webm
Because it's controlled by braindead retards spamming dodges into bosses
>Why can't I rotate the camera while locked on?
Because that's not how it should work
>Why can't I zoom out?
It zooms out alone
>Why does it randomly break?
To avoid spinning like crazy when you place yourself under the boss
>>716053632
>because it uses the thumb you would use to press or hold the dodge/run button.
Don't need to do both together
>then I'd be less critical, but there are multiple times when you want to run and move the camera at the same time.
Use shuffle pads
>>716053740
Bad games that force lock on and have uninspired basic enemy design don't have this issue because you won't get caught being a retarded rollspammer in hack and slash trash, and in fact they are worse games

>>716053902
you're very close to the solution, just tweak your walls so the numbers actually align
bombs aren't walls. i think that's your mental issue for the bottom

>>716054160
Then go make your own

>>716054054
not saying he's wrong but just because a developer thinks their game works a certain way doesn't mean it actually works that way

>>716054217
>last time i showed this game to my friends they looked at it like a monkey looking at fire
It sounds like their instincts were activated.

>>716054227
>Because it's controlled
Yes, because it's fucking shit. I know you're so stupid and actually and genuinely think "it's supposed to be shit" is an argument" but it's not.

>>716054001
whats your opinion on the elden ring co op mod?

>>716054138
toby fox is a plagiarist tho all his shit is sonichu level derivative

Cool. Fromdrones are retards and their opinions on action games don't and will never matter.

It's not hard, just don't kiss the boss

>>716054523
A casual idiot is a Fromdrone. Say it isn't so.

>>716054302
Believe me, they started playing it the next day, we barely play anything modern at this point, and if it's multiplayer, then we stick to the old ones(Warcraft 3 OG LAN, Unreal Tournament, Quake, and sometimes Coop Halo 3 or Deathmatch), with a little bit of 8-bit Deathmatch(v-classes) and Quake Champions:Doom Edition

Honestly it's a fun time, i don't try to play agressive anymore

>>716018705 (OP)
all the summerfags who discovered this site around 2013 should be honest and admit they'd never touch this game if it wasn't made by their e-celeb. he doesn't have the right autism type to make a soulslike and apply his critiques, even though some retards at /agdg/ have managed to make them

>>716053820
The biggest issue is that the primary defensive option (dodging highs while staying in place) is scary as fuck to use for new players. By the time you learn enemy move sets to allow dodging highs comfortably the habit of constanly dodging away as a panic button is already baked into the brain.

>>716054694
dumb brown jeet it's good a new original game is being made by him instead of generic soulsslop ripoff #9001

i bought it because i want to encourage him to continue as a developer and finish his platformer projects, simple as

>>716054694
Correct, I would not play rollslop.

>>716054694
This. Game is nothing and would be mocked if Matthew wasn't the creator. Goes to show he can't actually deliver when it comes to game design.

>>716054876
>finish his platformer

>>716054919
would it be mocked? do you make a habit of browsing the puzzle game section of steam for the purpose of laughing to yourself?

>>716055005
You're making the mistake thinking Fromdrones even play video games.

>>716055005
Anon be completely honest with yourself. There is absolutely nothing remarkable about this game and if you posted it to this board then universally it would be called retro throwback indieslop.

>>716053275
summoning was an aid but came with actual risks and needed limited consumable items, now it needs neither of those, in DeS, just being able to summon someone put your world in a harder state

>>716055138
its a logic puzzler. i doubt it would be treated that differently than any other logic puzzler. if someone posted dungeons and diagrams on /v/, i doubt there would be mocking, it'd probably get a muted response and the thread would die in 10 posts

>>716054082
>souls controls like dogshit on kbm
default binds are horrendous in ds1 ptde and 2, but after sorting them out they are perfect

>>716055239

I must be retareded, can't understand the first level and desperately looking for a button menu.

>>716053275
>Summoning always existed for shitters
It's so cute how you guys pretend these games are hard, then proceed to say that 90% of the game mechanics suck and you're just not supposed to use them. Almost like Souls games aren't hard.

>>716055267
such as?

>>716055267
looks fine to me, has a better aesthetic sense than spacechem

>>716051691
it's not just picross though, the whole premise of the game requires being a game to work properly

>>716055331
t. feelings hurt because you could only beat the games using summons

>>716052214
Do you retards even play videogames or just pretend to to cry about the lastest AAA shit that comes out from?

What am I missing here? The game looks like nothing. Presentation sucks too.

>i want smaller games with lower budgets!
>n-not like that!!

>>716055271
Each rows has a number next to it that equals to the exact number of walls within said row. You just start with the obvious ones (9 walls in a row leaves just one empty cell, easy to derive the right answers). Filling in easy rows makes more challenging rows easier to solve.

>>716051383
Put up a poll.
I bet a vast majority like it here too.

Loud contrarians hate on every mildly popular property here.

I know it’s mostly rage bait but there really are people who have this mindset about games “stealing the idea” from another game. Can you imagine if you saw that with other genres? Is DMC just a ripoff of Zelda because you can fight with a sword in both of them? They just stole the idea and made up their own rules

>>716055441
I'm not surprised Soulsfaggots can miss the point this hard. I genuinely feel bad for you if you think ER is hard. Like, you have an actual below average low IQ levels of sad.

>>716055536
is this the concept art for the new elden ring gacha produced by nexon

>>716055413
whatever, so does minesweeper. its still the same shit.

>>716055540
There's nothing wrong with stealing as long as you package the ideas in a novel or unique way, and this doesn't pass that check for a lot of people. These sorts of puzzles are fun brain food but they don't do anything with games as a medium. I want to see these puzzles integrated into a plot scenario.

>niggers seething this hard that their favorite eceleb cant actually put his money where his mouth is and creates a mediocre minesweeper game

>>716055540
i don't care about this but if you make some bullshit like scrabble balatro you probably are creatively bankrupt

>>716055645
>all grid based puzzle games are the same
Minesweeper = sudoku = picross = logic bombs

>>716055540
this game has nothing of its own to offer alongside the stolen concepts. it leaps out at no one and the only reason people would play it is because it is tied to some faggot on youtube.

>>716055558
name 10 hard games

>>716055648
>I want to see these puzzles integrated into a plot scenario.
blue prince was shit tho

ive noticed that a lot of the criticism just comes from concept alone. the idea of a logic puzzle game that can also be played on a gameboy is strangely offputting to a certain demographic of people. its fine to have your tastes but they act like the very idea is a sin.

>>716055749
corru.observer on the other hand fucking kicks ass.

Better or worse genre than static screen puzzlers... tough question you gotta ask yourself.

This game is good enough and challenging enough that it confirms beyond all doubt that Matt is smarter than 99% of the fags and retards here

>>716055903
Talk that highfalutin game development concept shit and you best expect to get it back when you release a game.

whatd i do wromg

>>716055993
Better and it's not even a question. This game looks like it was some college student's experiment, not a product for five dollars.

>>716055648
>want to see these puzzles integrated into a plot scenario.
It's a pure puzzler, it's not supposed to have a plot. Video games need less story and not more.

>>716056007
oh nvm the game requires Xs unlike picross

Have you tried filling in that last remaining square to see if your solution works

>college student's experiment
talmbout?

>>716055992
my point is i like puzzle games and i still think this is uninteresting

>>716056007
there is one square on the bottom row that is empty that you have to X in to complete the board

>dont have any clears
Because you're bad at video games.

>>716056702
It means you fucked up at least 3 walls

>>716056638
yes there is a [1] bomb that sees another [1] bomb, but there are multiple spaces where you can put up a wall between them. look at my spoilered screenshot. how do i know which of the 2 empty spaces needs the wall. do i really have to just try either option and then see which one breaks the level?

It's more like nonograms than minesweeper, you're not trying to find out where the bombs are, you're placing walls in the right places.

>>716056781
Another "rule" (or just the way bombs work) is that the explosion goes through monsters.
By trying to both block the bombs from hitting each other and from going through the monsters to the blue dude will give you only one possible answer as to which monster each bomb kills.

shmups are some of the most boring games ever made. the entire gameplay loop is tapping a keyboard to dodge some hitboxes. thats literally it. even when i was 9 years old playing shit flash games i would avoid the shmup ones because they had no depth.

compare it to a game like trackmania, which also only has 4 buttons but has insane levels of depth and complexity arising from such simple systems. that's what modern gaming is about.

trackmania's a trial and error game just like shmups lol

>Might be obvious but it needs to be said
>1 bomb for 1 enemy
Ages of Bomberman, Zelda or ANY FUCKING GAME follows the rule of 1 bomb for a clusterfuck of enemies, it's not obvious it's just dumb

>compare it to a game like trackmania
lol. trackmania is some of the fugliest racing game shit I've ever seen. And to top it off, it's a fucking time trialer and not simultaneus racing.

you just exposed yourself. watch a top trackmania player playing a hard track and see how easily they can get an author medal on their first or second attempt. newer players can spend hours just trying to get a gold medal on a black campaign track, while skilled players will get author medals on the entire campaign in about an hour total.

You could've just said "I don't play shmups, they never interested me" and i would accept it and move on, but what you just wrote was so dumb and retarded that i needed to waste my time writting this.
