Hyper Light Drifter General

Criticizing the game is just fine, acting like shit flinging apes isn't.
So you really think people think Holla Forums is a shithole because Holla Forums "criticizes" games?
Are you retarded or something?

You're making some generous inferences from my post and seem like a huge faggot.

it's whatever.

Yeah that's the shit. Apparently it's different with a controller, but kb+m it's horrendous.

What did you expect?
New game comes out, it's pixel shit, of course you're gonna have a bunch of meme-kids trying to fit in the "We hate games" culture.
Are you new to chans in general or what?

Shit like this is release, you pirate, buy if you like and then wait a good 2 or 3 months before discussing it. Only ADD ridden idiots and literal hipsters discuss it on day 1. That's the kind of person you were discussing it with.

Anyway, the game has some neat things, but often the artsyle is kinda shit and wastes potential. The actual dificulty comes from the horrenduous controls, and the main schtick of the game, "Hyper-Drifiting" is shit. If you drift too fast, it gets hard to control, which wouldn't be bad if the maps were built with that in mind. But instead of large obstcales for you to drift around, they're peppered with tiny little obstacles that will not only stop you, but also bouncing back, often landing you in a hole.
So, "Hyper-Drifting" is only usefull for one boss, and even then, you can't drift too fast or you lose control, hit something and say goodbye to half your health becase "Wow, so hard".

Then there's Newgame+, that one majorly sucks. Upgrades you bought on Newgame? Don't count for shit, you gotta buy them again. You start Newgame+ with a couple of them already bought, but it's the basic one's.
Then there's shit like HP or first aid kits that really don't matter/help but you can still waste points on it, because WHY NOT, RIGHT?

And this game perpetuates the idea of "secrets" like old games did: you gotta hump everywall in the game to find them.
Some maps do have some traces that a secret is there (like a crack of light near the edge of the screen) and you do feel kinda smart and perceptive when you notice those things and find the secret. Sadly, that's about 40% of them. The other 60% is wall-humping with no clues. This is the kinda shit that people lift from old games on the misconcieved notion that "old games did it, so it's good" without realizing that back then people already disliked it.

You also equip guns to use, with half of them being completely useless. I mean, they're not useless by themselves. It's just that once you pick up some of the others, there's no point in using the others, since they all draw from the same ammo counter.
Especially when you get the BEST GUN. I'll leave you to find out which one it is, because honestly? Even unupegraded, it's a beast.
And that was another problem I had. Two of the guns you can find throught hard-to-reach secrets. Those guns downright suck. Best gun? Appears on the middle of the road as you go.

This is the kind of thing that clues you in to the true purpose of this game:
The creator wanted to make a nice artsy world where you can move, shoot and slice.
He didn't aim to make a good game.

Wether that stops you from enjoying it or not, up to you. I liked some of the visuals, and a bit of the locations, but not enough to actually end up buying it.

Something close to this sort of thing would be Transistor for instance, except Transistor outdid this game in Music, Art, Story and more importantly, Gameplay.

I beat it. Fun game, too bad the creators belong to a religion of evil.

Yeah the Devs are SJWs, but there are other reasons to buy such a game. Vid related.

Sorry for linking Vice and jewtube; on vacation and can't webm

The game is becomes trivial as soon you get upgrades, the game becomes even easy after the first boss.

The first boss is sastifying but everything afterwards end up being boring, there's also no more serious sam-like encounters where swarms of enemies start piling on you

30 fps lock ruining the rhythm-based dashing.

Fucking why?

Don't waste your time, OP. Go get Furi. It's all the fun of hyper light drifter but far better executed. No pixelshit either.
