Risk of Rain time pleeeeease

Edit: what the fuck is crypt of the blah blah blah

When's risk of rain

~30 minutes from now

 

[Rixa]

Sit back and enjoy an amazing roguelike that you've never heard of before.

Music is awesome.

 

[theSlacker]

Yeah, I was just kind of thinking this when they talked about resetting near the beginning and with the reply of doing best of runs. The resetting at the beginning sounds a little cheap though. But I can definitely see the appeal of the randomness since it is the appeal of the game.

Well using the same seed doesn't mean using a seed that the players already know the world for. It just makes it so that both runners are on guaranteed even footing.

Just watched the Rogue Galaxy run. Having Kenny Lee, the programmer of the game, sitting on the couch was great. Watching that glitched credits section was amazing and having Cellar Door Games state that on their twitter is stupendous. We live in a glorious age where game developers are now budding gamers who have grown up and understand their audience to the utmost degree without being under the umbrella of Nintendo.

Good times.

 

[Vaddon]

Necrodancer should be a fun little run, great music.

 

[BigAT]

Guys, you do realize that Twitch chat can be turned off, right?

 

[yatesl]

This set up is longer than the run.

I might just listen to the OST on YouTube instead

 

[Sai-kun]

Falling...asleep again... Zzz

 

[siddhu33]

There's a shovel knight bid war for character, with one of the options being NEOGAF...anyone getting in on that?

 

[Diablohead]

I like how the runner allowed donations to decide what race he is and made a new strat around it instead of just sticking to his max speed fastest possible one.

I like stuff like this.

 

[TheSlySoul]

This set up is longer than the run.

I hope next year they go in and do everything via splitter/PC.
Having to switch between consoles/PC seems to take way too long.

 

[Diablohead]

But if the planet explodes, wouldn't the animals die no matter what? How can they even leave the planet?

This is the beauty of the animals, there is a very small and tiny change to the ending if you save the animals, it's also canon to the metroid fusion story.

I believe that it was actually Ethan Lee on the couch. He handled porting it to Mac/Linux

Runner is Neogaf member Capndrake. See this post

I'm running it! Excited to be there.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Ok, I am liking this Crypt of the Necrodancer.
A rhythm dungeon crawler is very interesting.

 

[Diablohead]

What an unlucky death on the final boss there.

 

[Owensboro]

Just catching up on runs I missed yesterday: The Boshy runner and the Lost Levels (Mario 2) runner are both awesome, and make those runs great to watch. I hope they get "Must Watch" tags. Anything else I missed that was awesome?

 

[KarmaCow]

Hopefully Risk of Rain gets setup fast, been waiting for this run.

Todays Rogue Legacy, great run with game developer commenting at sofa it.

That is awesome!

 

[Sai-kun]

Risk finally. It's about time. Only an hour late!

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

RoR is a bit of a hard game to watch.

It's fun but...everything is so tiny it's like watching an ant colony.

 

[jett]

I assume this run is unwatchable in anything but source quality.

 

[Grinchy]

lol the video quality and size makes it almost impossible to know what's going on for people who don't already understand this game (like me)

Good commentary though.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

What is this, a speedrun for ants?

 

[theSlacker]

What is this, a speedrun for ants?

I lol'd.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Speaking of.
When you level-up you can select upgrades?

I played through the game and I don't think I ever did that.

Damn it too many Lee's in the credits. Cheers.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Risk of Eyestrain

It's an artifact. A specific one gives you the option to choose items. Artifacts are one of the things that got added in the update.

 

[JimPanzer]

wheres my risk of rain vita version?

Huh. Well dang.

 

[Sai-kun]

Command artifact use was disappointing. Still a fun game obv but I wasn't impressed.

 

[KarmaCow]

Are unlocks still bugged in Risk of Rain?

 

[thesaucetastic]

This run was disappointing. :\

 

[Jimmyfenix]

wheres my risk of rain vita version?

They got it running on VITA a few months back but it seems they are also making a PS4/PS3 version so its most likely delayed.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

I haven't watched since Witwix ran Boshy, but have they eased up a bit on the audience restrictions? It felt like the Boshy run was a free for all, and that certainly benefited the hype levels...

 

[TheSlySoul]

This run was disappointing. :\

I feel like if the game zoomed in more, I could see what was happening.

Dammit, did I miss the Fire Emblem run?

Yeah it was last night.

 

[MotionBlue]

Dammit, did I miss the Fire Emblem run?

 

[TUSR]

Dammit, did I miss the Fire Emblem run?

Yeah, the VOD is in the OP.

 

[Tizoc]

Time for some beat'em-up arcade goodness, I never played Violent Storm, but it'll be interesting to see how they're gonna speed through this game.

Same.
Also Konami totally copied Capcom's Final Fight health bar.

All the way though the Mario block they seemed to be having more fun, doing things like audience shots and playing a bunch of musics between runs. Got me if it was an intended thing or just something temporary while the hype levels were high though.

 

[Diablohead]

I love arcade game intros from the 90's

I also like how that lady was shopping in an area with all burned out buildings, lol.

 

[TheSlySoul]

So for this block $20 for first credit and $10 for each additional one?
Battletoads is going to be so expensive!

Also interesting they are not using MAME emulation.

 

[Tizoc]

I can't be the ONLY one here who's impressed by these animations?
...and holy shit this game is practically Hokuto no Ken lol.

 

[Diablohead]

OTG loops on bosses, this game is broken lol

I don't think they do any emulation at these events. Other than official stuff, anyway.

 

[Sir Griffith]

This run is nuts lol
