Well, I suck at this game, but I'm getting better.

Best gun I found so far was the Pitchfork. A very simple gun. Loads of ammo and sets everything on fire.

 

[deoee]

Great start...

I'm stuck here, all the doors are close + no teleport.

After first floor Boss

I extinguished the fireplace with a water barrel,

maybe this caused that bug?

Again...

Am I missing something?
Do I have to do anything after killing a boss?

 

[Salsa]

gun so big I cant see my head



also Hunter lady is by far the best character. switching between bullets and crossbow at the start feels sogood

you cheapos playin with extra armor marine. boohoo

 

[SparksterMeta0]

I kind of want to buy both this and Nuclear Throne. Should I?

 

[Ozium]

oh man dev posted on steam and said that trading cards were supposed to be in at launch but they didn't make it and they will go up once the first round of bug fixes are in..

hype!

still haven't been able to put a lot of time in this yet, only played for about an hour..

Both great games! If you like this type of gameplay Id go for it.

I feel like I'm missing something. Is there any sort of lasting progress in this? I get this currency (?) after beating a boss, but I can't seem to spend it anywhere, as I would in Necro-Dancer, for example.

 

[Roshin]

Two solid games. I'd say yes.

 

[doctorblurg]

Both games are absolutely fantastic I've probably played 20+ hours of Nuclear Throne and I can see myself do much of the same for Gungeon.

You need to rescue NPCs first, then shops and other stuff in the hub world open up

early on you rescue a prisoner and you get an extra room that is basically a weapon museum

there, you use that currency to buy guns, which adds them to the gun pool, aka the possibility of you getting it in dungeon within a chest

Oh man, this game is awesome. Definitely not regretting my purchase. So far not being able to get past the third floor,

just straight up wrecks me every time, gonna take some time to learn how to dodge his stuff.

How could you hate Nuclear Throne?

I honestly don't know. I literally played and liked every rogue-lite game that came out, it's just NT that I can't stand. Everything about it seems like something I should like, but all it does is fill me with irritation. Good thing for me Gungeon doesn't feel like NT at all really, I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

 

[data]

5 hours in and I still haven't rescued the first prisoner, darn.

Anyone know what the new update does?

I hate Nuclear Throne as well.

Locked to 30fps, 4:3, I got input lag in the menus and surround sound is fucked, as in most sounds came out of my back speakers instead of my fronts.

Altogether disappointing.

they said they were putting out a patch to fix that code giving you the wrong dlc gun so probably that?

 

[chris121580]

This is great but man, I really suck at it. I can barely get past the first dungeon on most tries

Same here man. I put four hours into it and haven't got far.

It's all good though. It's a game I can replay over and over and not get bored. All dem guns!

 

[Large Professor]

2.9 hrs in. I rescued my first prisoner and got destroyed by the second boss

It's important to learn each enemies attack patterns, and also learn which attacks you should avoid and which you need to dodge roll.

 

[Skittles]

Haha i'm fucking done. The gun i just found had me in tears, it's a reference to

Spoiler

aqua teen hunger force. It's called the quad laser. Yes, the bullet travels exactly how slow you're expecting

 

[Salsa]

maaaaaaaan there's an item that gives you Gears active reload

wish the game just had it

 

[drotahorror]

I haven't seen anyone else mention the hitch when you kill something. Does this happen to everyone or just me. I'm starting to get paranoid now. Wish I would have waited and bought on PC if it's a PS4 issue.

The thing that bugs me is it doesn't do it on every enemy. It happens mainly on the bullet shaped normal guys. There's a sound when you deliver the killing blow and then a freeze frame as someone put it in this thread. If you're rolling when you get the killing blow it's very noticeable.

If you're not noticing it try turning screen shake all the way down as well. It's much easier to notice. Easy to notice with it on as well though.

That was the first item i got when i started playing. Once the action started ramping up i was missing quick reload everytime haha

Hmm, are you sure that's not just a brief amount of hitstun to emphasize the kill? I'm pretty sure my game on PC does it too, but it's an intended behavior.

 

[Unit24]

Is there any kind of persistent progression outside of the cycle of trying, dying, and resetting? So far, all I've seen is stuff showing up at the breach.

 

[B00TE]

Just one more run, then I can go do other things.

 

[Rhaknar]

so where are the

and the

after you rescue them? cant find them in the hub, top right door still blocked, and the bottom right door is the

which is also still blocked

You unlock weapons (that you can find in the dungeon), shortcuts, and NPCs/shops in the hub area. However, the start of each run you start with the same items and stats.

First impressions: I'm not so sure about the default bindings on a controller. Thankfully, it's fully remappable!

Looks great otherwise.

 

[Kid Ska]

So the Steam controller doesn't seem to work very well with this game, unless I'm missing something about the setup. Aiming is impossible

I'm always too afraid to waste the bullets of a new gun so I just feel obligated to use the rusty gun, help.

 

[Rainbow In The Dark]

How do you find the secret rooms? In the tutorial, there was one behind a crack on the wall, but I haven't been able to find other cracks in the main game. I have found some secret rooms accidentally, but I'm almost sure there weren't any cracks on the walls they were behind.

 

[Fix The Scientist]

I'm loving this so far, plays really well on PS4.

Pick the marine and use his ammo dropping ability.

I think you have to use Blanks.

 

[hydruxo]

I'm usually not into roguelikes or bullet hell games, but everything I've watched or read about this game just sounds awesome. I think I'm gonna pick it up on PS4.

 

[anddo0]

Was hesitant, but glad I pulled the trigger.

This game takes the best of Isaac and NT and adds a greater sense of progression.. Most importantly the game is a ton of fun to play.. I like the fact that it doesn't go overboard with the roguelike elements .

 

[Pestilence11]

Turned aim assist all the way off and it's still totally playable on PS4.
