Just checking in to say that this game is indeed awesome. Pure fun thanks to the really responsive controls. Also, the music is just......I rarely ever say this.....but it’s quite beautiful.
The only negative I have is I’m not a fan of the character art, but other than that this is scratching my Muramasa itch. Thanks Noogy! You must feel incredibly proud right about now.
Haha, glad I’m not the only one who caught that.

As much as I get bummed everytime I miss the codes, I also don't mind much as this is the first time in a long time I reeeaaaallly want to give someone my hard earned money

Haha, well, I'm sure I'll be bottom of all the skill-based ones soon to make up for my top spot in completion. My challenge room scores are starting to get destroyed and I was pretty pleased with them!

I'm sorry for shitting up the thread with the art discussion earlier. This game is fucking amazing and that's what we should be talking about.
Started on tough based on your recommendation and I'm having so much fun. The combat is soo satisfying.

Noogy, that is incredibly awesome. I managed to get one of toythatkills' ones, but if you end up doing any DLC for this, I will buy it in a second without question. You are indeed the man. Now the long wait till I can finish work and play it :\

To me, anything below tough seems a little too straight forward, anyone about to start please play on tough it makes the game so much better.
I bet some of the sour reviews out there were on casual.
Also my luck in this game has been good, the first time I went to a new area I found a what I think is a rare blueprint, made it asap with some items I had to hunt and now my attack power is always one step ahead of the mobs, heh. Just need some good armours now.
As for metroidvania stuff there is a lot of areas I need to go back too later on, at least 10 spots in the last hour I was unable to reach.

Ok so far this game is awesome. I started on tough as Noogy suggested. The only nitpicky problem I have with it right now is the compression artifacts on the big character portraits. It looks pretty bad on my TV. The game is not that big so I don't know why it had to be compressed in such a way.

I've missed 4 drops for codes. This wait for Friday is going to be brutal with my odd decision not to play the demo, read reviews or watch any media for the game at all.
Well it's either I show up at the right time or get off work Friday and be lost to the world.

Ahh so it isn't just my TV or 360. I immediately noticed it too. Also when wearing headphones I could hear the looping part of the rain on the title screen.

Guys, buy the game with earth money, noogy really earned it.
I sit only about 3 feet away from a 26 inch hdtv and see no artifacts, any chance your sharpness is up or something?
Also don't forget how much has to fit into ram at one time, there might be bigger storage space but no room in the ram.

Urgh, need to not look at this topic or else my work day is going to draaaaag.
This should be made easier by the fact that xbox.com is blocked so I have no chance at one of these codes. Oh well, come 8pm I will be comboing the shit out of some poor suckers. Cannot wait.

fully agree and wanted to say that from what I have seen from the videos before now, there is love involved in this game and not factory processed just to make money.

Noogy, I wanna hug ya!
Buy the game without even playing the game like I did you fuckers.
Just started playing it.
There is no other game out that has a combat system this good. I just smile when I slash these enemies with insane hit combos.
Noggy is there a way to give you more of my money? I feel bad for only paying 1200 MS points for this game.

If you you said 2D game I would have agreed. but, we live in a world where bayonetta and ninja gaiden black exist.
Still, this is my personal game of the year so far, and in the top 5 for this gen.
Thanks. I tried to stay away from them, but I figured revealing a few things to help draw people into the game.

I'm buying this game solely because of the hard work and dedication one man took to accomplish this. I'm not sure when I will get around to playing it but consider this a +1 sale. Congrats Noogy and good luck with your future projects.
Not at all. They artificating is especially visible in Fidgets eyes at the pink part. Kind of sad that it destroys the beautiful artwork. It's nothing game breaking but I don#t know it it was necessary. Maybe Noogy can say if it was a technical limitation or something.

Wasn't interested in this at all (the art style turned me off, initially) but just watched the Giant Bomb QL and I must say - this looks like something crafted with such care, and tremendous amount to detail. Watching in it motion is like watching... a glittering stream of water. Definite buy for me.

I can't wait to play this after work. I have no idea what to expect besides what I've seen from a trailer that blew me away two years ago.
Well, I'm off for the night (it's 8am here), thank you to everyone who's purchased the game.. honestly, from the bottom of my heart. Nothing makes me happier than knowing you enjoy it
I'll be back on later tonight with some more tokens, either here or on twitter (@NoogyTweet). Have fun!

I said WOW!
This is how I imagined video games are going to look like in the future back then before 2D games vanished because everything had to be 3D.

It would be if there was hit-pause. Normally I hate it when games don't have hit-pause because it doesn't feel like you're hitting anything. In Dust's case I can forgive it though, maybe it can be patched in later?

The heck is hit-pause? The game stopping for a bit on every single hit?
I'd love a code if you still have one. I just played the trial and it's a stunning game.

I was good enough to get the first box like 15 minutes in, spoiler:
5% hp boost has saved my life a few times already and that is only from one box
No appearance change but most items would be hidden anyway, like rings, necklaces and the sword items are classed as blade coatings or sharpening tools instead of actual new weapons.
it doesnt, since the main character is hand-drawn. noogy said it would have been way too much work.
It doesn't change appearance and with hand-drawn animation like this, it's not really reasonable to expect it. Noogy would have to redraw the entire sprite in hundreds of different ways to fit various equipment setups, then draw thousands of frames of animations for each variation.
