Is this shit supposed to be fun? I have a hard time believing anyone has fun playing this

>>716357098 (OP)
What are the last five fun games you played?

>>716357098 (OP)
no handholding in this game for you faggot

>>716357192
Lies of P, Expedition 33, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Metaphor Refantazio, The Witcher 3. Yours?

>>716358156
It’s not that. It’s the fact that your character moves like a slug, combat is nearly nonexistent, there are no objectives other than “go to the next shelter and survive until the next day”, how am I supposed to have fun in this game? By just walking around like an old lady and jumping like a turtle?

It's not supposed to be fun, you retard.

>>716357098 (OP)
Yeah, it's insanely overrated

>>716357098 (OP)
It's for fart-huffing redditors and women who like to pretend that they enjoy video games. Same type of people who thought "Life is Strange" is a good game, and probably the same type of people who consider themselves fans of games they've never played.

I haven't really bought a Steam game since without having pirated it first. Reviews mean nothing when the people are retarded.

>>716360017
Then why do people play that shit?

I like the physicality of the character's movement plus there are no filters between the player and the game world like menus, interface, the mechanics of interaction are direct and i always appreciate that in any game.
If i push the grab button then i grab anything, i can even grab unto enemies, it's a grab action that fully makes sense.
To describe the lack of barrier between player and game i use the map system as a representative example because everything is like this in rainworld. The game doesn't pause and the slugcat closes its eyes as if to think about where to go next. It's not an inconsequential detail, it's clean minimalism in design.
Then apparently the DLC didn't get it and added an inventory menu.

>>716358167
>pure undiluted normie slop
ah that explains it

>>716362770
Does the character get faster later on? Do you have more movement/combat options or is the entire game played with this shit movement and jump?

>>716359527
>character is named slug

wooow how were we supposed to know

Stay in school, kid.

>>716357098 (OP)
shush, you will upset the very mentally ill

>>716357098 (OP)
After hearing a lot of good reviews I tried it, twice. I's sooo boring. I don't get it.

>>716362863
yes, you get more movement and combat options when you learn how to move

>>716358167
>I LOVE [NEW THING]

>>716362863
No new abilities are ever unlocked. Well timed use of the jump button can give you boosts, press it when it makes sense as you're moving. You can also look up the technical movelist online, it's precise.

>>716362893
He is named slugcat, he moves like a slug but doesn’t jump like a cat, why so?

>>716362770
>Then apparently the DLC didn't get it and added an inventory menu.
not at all
there's one dlc scug with a crafting mechanic I guess

>>716363685
That's good to hear.

>>716363678
You can pounce like a cat

What did you expect from a game that has a 59 metascore? Of course it’s fucking trash.

never take the opinions of people who are advertising their fetish seriously.

>>716363828
yeah there's no inventory menus
if you try the dlc you should check all the remix options, because there are some qol changes that you may or may not want, some stuff you should absolutely use like faster shelter opening, some stuff you might want like key items on the map, and some stuff that changes gameplay significantly like pulling spears from walls

>>716363962
Fettish? Do people want to fuck the slugcat? That can’t be real.

>>716364062
no stop you're doing the same thing as op now

>>716363678
the game is hard and it's next to impossible to figure out the controls yourself. It's a 120 pages document on all possible cat tricks but I just know the basics and can cross half of the whole fuckin game in 1 cycle (day). The combat is really good, the 'cat' part of slugcat comes into play here too, because with enough knowledge you are basically unstoppable apex predator with only few counters. Off course you still die in one hit but thats the thrill I love and find hard to find from any other game. Dying just resets the day so you don't miss anything really.
So to summarize why's the game good: the gameplay, the exploration (really nice looking world), the side content like story bits and more 'gamey' dlc campaigns with defined objectives and non realistic abilities. You don't know where to go, but trust me, if you did the game wouldn't be as fun. At least for me something is missing now that I squeezed every juice out of it.

>>716364390
So there’s no objective then? I just move around like a retard catching bats to eat and hibernating every once in a while?

>>716365052
the objective is explore

>>716365274
All right, but what cool things do I find while exploring? Because so far I’ve only seen bats and a green thing that killed me.

>>716365052
At the start of the game you fell from somewhere. Don't you want to go back up there with your family?

>>716365584
it sounds like you've played for like 30 minutes
it's not a short game

>>716365584
You find the greatest treasure, the fun lurking in your heart.

>>716365607
I tried, the cat can’t jump there.
>>716365772
Exactly 30 minutes, got bored and made the thread, I’ll continue tomorrow.

>>716358167
negroid shitskin goy cattle gorilla nigger

I wanted to like this game but gave up. I have no problem with Dark Souls type progression resetting but the movement and rain timer just kills any motivation I have for exploration. I remember spending like 30 min sessions over 3 days and making 0 progress and realized I wasn't having fun at all.

>>716361438
To endure and find fulfilment, in that there is fun

Rainworld might be my favourite videogame of all time but for the life of me I have no idea how to shill it.
The only way to get it, is to play until it finally 'clicks'

>>716366312
How did it click for you?

>>716366832
The acceptance that I am a nothing but a powerless slug

>>716366832
your desire for exploration overrides any complaints your feeble lizard brain can conjure
and then at some point you realize you *get* how the movement works, how the blink-and-you-die combat works, how it feels to live on the fucking edge knowing that a single missed throw will set you hella back but that also you know exactly where and when to fire it off to kill what you need to and then get the fuck out while everything else hostile is still hashing it out above you
you need to inhabit the spirit of the rat
you are not the main character
you are not the big hero
you're a rat in manhattan and you need to learn how to get by before you can learn how to clear rooms

>>716357098 (OP)
It's not, it just does the pretentious "le animals in le post-apocalyptic world" and "le pixelshit art with le quiet atmospheric music" to pretend it's smart or some shit. The gameplay sucks BALLS, worst Adult Swim production since Mr. Pickles.

>>716357098 (OP)
what are some fun games then?

>>716366832
>>716367886
Learning to interact with snails in drainage is where it clicked for me, learning that the game wasn't linear and that it just had a bunch of layers of interactivity peaked my interest beyond the enjoyment of the music and gritty artstyle,
that and learning to swim because it really hammered in the games physics based movement.
There's just so much weight behind everything once you notice it. Shit like throwing your head down off a ledge to fall faster just feels good.
If there's one thing I will always be disappointed by Downpour for it's that they didn't go all in on flooding the maps to swim around with Rivulet. Modded regions somewhat fill that void.

random gods+the wall is up there in among the best moments of vidya history and i shall not be convinced otherwise

>>716368442
Stop spoiling the fucking game.

>>716369175

>>716369298
Thank you

>>716357098 (OP)
I wish I knew how to mod and do simple sprite animating so that I could make an H mod for this game. Sluggato sexo.

>>716370259
Seek psychiatric help, seriously.

>>716358167
Seems you prefer combat-heavy games.

>>716370489
Wait, let him cook.

>>716358167
>All are carefully curated games that handhold you through the entire thing

Makes sense. Rain World requires too much independent thinking for you.

>>716366170
>making 0 progress
Your goal should be to fill out your map until you figure out where to go. Just go wherever you haven't, eat food, and find new regions. Eventually you'll find some cool shit.

>>716368996
I agree. That whole stretch and the buildup is so fucking good.

>>716371974
When I say progress I'm talking about getting walled at gates

>>716366170
You can set the rain timer to be like 10 times longer than normal

>>716372450
Stop dying then. Don't try to fight stuff, just run away. Keep 2 rocks in your hands, or a rock and a spear, so you can stun and attack if necessary.

>>716357098 (OP)
According to people who love it, it's one of the worst games ever made, until you beat your head against it long enough for it to click, then it becomes one of the best games ever made.

>>716358167
I can't tell if this is bait, or you have rock in your head.

This game made me want to die

>>716357098 (OP)
Oh, started playing this last week thanks to threads I saw on /v/ about it for years. Haven't done much so far but honestly enjoying it when I'm not dying in the same place 20 times in a row.

Hoping to finish it and attempt that Jolly Coop mod but it requires Downpour which I don't own. How the hell do I install mods for the legacy version of the game?

>>716376591
>How the hell do I install mods for the legacy version of the game?
I think the modding system is the same
downpour is technically activated as a mod

>>716357098 (OP)

mao

>>716357098 (OP)
i dunno dude i think the game is fun as fuck

I really enjoyed rain world but when I learned I had to backtrack a few different ways because I went an unorthodox path through the game (unknowingly) I really struggled to keep playing. I slowly started getting better and better but once I got to some of the more difficult areas where you have to dive back into pipes to basically hope salamanders and the vulture things move elsewhere, and I started grappling with the controls such that I found it frustrating (analog sticks should never be used for 2d platformers, kill yourself if you disagree) I just couldn't bring myself to finish. Haven't played it since april of last year.

>>716376591
literally just go on the community workshop in steam

>>716357098 (OP)
It's not boring, but it is seriously difficult and not worth the time investment.

>>716379135
The juice is worth the squeeze

>>716358167
Seems like you have a particular kind of game you especially enjoy.
Perhaps you should stick to your comfort zone.

>>716376591
On RainDB they have mirrors for all the legacy mods and the tutorial section lines installation (just need to double make sure to take note of dependencies)
the file structure for 1.5 vs 1.9 is different so make sure you're using the right one.

Also jolly coop is couch coop, if you want to play over net Rain Meadow on workshop is your friend and doesn't need downpour, there's also split screen coop mod which also doesn't need downpour.

For legacy, if you've ever modded a unity game with BepInEx it's the same as all the others.

This game is impossible to shill without spoiling it
You have no choice to say "you just put up with it until you realize the game deserved you putting up with it and indeed was 100x better for making you put up with it" but that process could take 15+ hours of one of the most frustrating survival sidescrollers ever designed

>>716376591
>Jolly Coop but I don't own Downpour
Survivor's campaign might as well be an E3 demo for the real game, which is Downpour
pro tip next time you play Survivor double your efforts to memorize the map layout, you will thank me

do a mario 64 side jump and throw your spear down while flipping, pinning the lizard to the ground

>>716363656
>No new abilities are ever unlocked
Your own webm is showcasing the neuron glow effect that you get from either meeting 5 Pebbles, or eating a neuron fly. Meeting 5 Pebbles also gives you the mark of communication, which lets you talk with Looks to the Moon.

>>716377443
Nice.

>>716377501
Use the fast travel tokens.

Or just cheat like me and install mods that let you teleport. Screw backtracking to Moon every time you find a pearl.
