Axiom Verge |OT| Life's A Glitch

Can't wait to buy this tomorrow, I've played it a couple of times on the demo PS4 at Best Buy and loved it.... Has a ton of nostalgia for a 38 year old gamer like myself...

This game needs love. Could easily be one of the best of generation. I feel like it might get buried because of the weird staggered release and lack of buzz.

Go to a mall, play the demo. It's great.

in this. Games for old gamers (32 here). I dropped Borderlands and didn't dare bother with Bloodborne. This and the Knight for me this April.

Love the thread title. Can't wait for tomorrow!

I'll come back to Bloodborne after Axiom Verge. I've already played Shovel Knight 2-3 times on Wii U, but I'm getting it Day One for Vita to play at work during lunch hour when I get to close my office door :p
 
I think this game might actually be the thing that makes me get a PS4. I don't want to wait until June to play this on PC.

Aaand that Amazon Bloodborne bundle is still up. Aaand Gerstmann gave this a perfect score.

I guess I'm getting a PS4, fuck.
 
Just popping in and saying will buy this. Not sure of the exact day (Bloodborne), but I knew I would buy this from the first moments of the first trailer.

Thanks for the OT, subbed, but will most likely stay away until I start playing myself.

When does PSN usually update with new games every week? I thought they Axiom Verge might go live at midnight ET/ 9pm PT but I was obviously wrong.

I didn't know this game existed a few days ago.

Looks interesting and as a Metroidvania-fan why not. PS4 version get.

A lot of times they don't post the blog update with the week's new releases until like 5PM EST, but the store will be updated sporadically a few hours before then. I'll probably start checking around 2PM.

I'm going to attempt speedrun mode in a few minutes if anyone is interested in watching. Don't watch if you're getting the game today though, it will spoil you on awesome stuff.
 
So close now. It is almost time.

When is this game coming out for PC? I want to play it now!

As a Metroid fan, I can only say "If Nintendo does not do it, someone else will have to do it".

Subbing to this thread so I know when it's gone live. Importing from the US store because I can't wait an extra day (also SCEE are useless).

The color scheme and artstyle is turning me off. The main character and environments have zero personality. It seems it's a good game nonetheless.

The design of the MC is pretty bland I agree. Nowhere near something as awesome as Super Metroid's Samus for example. But yeah, it's no big deal as long as it's fun.

I am really surprised by how well this has been received.

Buying it on PS4 tomorrow. Gotta juggle this with Bloodborne.

Bahh nothing can be juggled with the Saw Cleaver that is bloodborne!

I want this game but it's going to have to wait :(

This game looks so good, it's about $3 on ps+ more than I like to comfortably shell out for a digital only title, but I like that they are locking the price for at least 6 months, will definitely pick it up.

I didn't read any if the reviews but from what I remember there are certain elements of this game that are randomly generated, is that correct? Does anyone know what elements are affected? Are map layouts, rooms, item placement random?

Axiom Verge is the perfect "Fuck this asshole boss, I need to cool off" type game.

So it's perfect for bloodborne.

There are secret areas hidden off the map (secret worlds) that you can get into which have a random layout and are in different locations with each playthrough. Speedrun Mode has the same layout for secret areas just to keep it consistent for speed running.

In the secret worlds you'll often find 1-2 power ups. Not sure how random the specific power ups are.

Not really a huge spoiler, but might be something people want to discover on their own.
