Very useful, it's basically your only AoE attack and there's a lot of opportunities to get value off it. I think I've killed like 6-7 dudes at once with it. It doesn't use ammo, it has a cool down.

Game looks fucking incredible! When is the PS4 version out?

I see! Genuine, non-salty question: is that good game design? I definitely appreciate a degree of obtuseness in my games, but only as long as when I take a step back I can see how the devs were trying to naturally coax me in that direction. As it stands, I can't say I'd really have a way of knowing this solution. In fact, having unsuccessfully tested

Since the update, I cannot lauch the game anymore
Sometime this Year, nothing set in stone, unfortunately :-(
Couldn't wait anymore, have bought it now at humble bundle, and can't wait to get home from work.
Only SIX(!) more hours......

It's so weird. The soundtrack, so far, really does nothing for me and I don't understand why. I usually adore Disasterpeace but for some reason I just don't feel anything here which makes me sad

I broke 800 finally, best method for me was Dash mapped to a Soft Pull on the Steam Conrroller. Stopped me from getting too fatigued. Also helped to mute the game and cover up the counter since they were out of sync with my dashing (or at least they were definitely distracting)
Fair question, and one I asked myself before I figured it out. For my part I'd already tried shooting the damn thing with the pistol so many times, once I got the laser I was like 'aha!', so it was a logical progression for me. But I can see how it would be easy to miss. Then again, if it were vital for progression, perhaps it's a bit too obtuse... but for optional puzzles? Yeah, I think it's ok.
That's a shame... I absolutely love the soundtrack, didn't know the artist going in. It's a perfect fit with the aesthetic and tone.
Ah, that's too bad. I was looking forward to it.
But good then that this turned out great
About the story, (east gate spoilers)
I have no idea of what I'm doing.
EDIT: By the way, does the "dash through projectiles" upgrade only give you projectile invulnerability or full iframes to avoid any damage?
THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING. Really can't wait for that.
the arm holding a giant sword we see there belongs to one of the eva-like beings in the opening, doesn't it? Were we observing from a great distance when they fell to whatever it is that killed them (maybe that beam of light?) or were we actually there? Did we cause this shit? Or were we looking into the past because of black goo induced trips?

BTW, how satisfying is to break the crystals?
As a loyal Hyrule gardener, I can't resist the urge to break and cut everything.
I can tell you that cutting up the little bushes brought back fond Link to the Past memories.

Oh, that's just for the node thingy? I thought it was something I had to do to finally reach the fragment in that dungeon. If it's just an optional thing, yeah, that's totally fine.
Has anyone had much trouble with mid-game crashes? I was playing it and having a blast, and then it hard-locked within the first 30 minutes and it has absolutely crushed my enthusiasm. I just gave up and went to bed. I'll give it another shot tonight, but I'm hoping my experience was out of the ordinary.
Well. I spent five minutes with the pistol and the shotgun (?) trying to hit it and couldn't find an angle. Tried reflecting back projectiles too. After that I could only try the rifle and got it on my second or third try.
If I had hit it with the pistol I would be confused too. To be honest, there is a section in the north
completely in the dark where I didn't understood the purpose of it. I had to guess how pass some moving blocks instead of timing it since I couldn't see crap and it felt really dumb.
Now that is pissing me off since I can't find that fragment at all.

Yeah, I guess those moments really stand out because they're in a game that is otherwise communicating everything else about itself in brilliantly subtle ways.
/Fuck/ that dungeon, though. It also pisses me off that in order to keep searching for the goddamn fragment, I have to essentially complete the whole thing over and over again since it just resets.
He was the first boss I fought and beat him in one go. Felt pretty easy, just dash towards him when he starts laying down the squares, at least that worked for me!
There is a part in the east dungeon
behind a 3 key door with an automated turret, after you finish it all there is something on a corpse far south but I have no idea how to get there because it is way too far! Anyone had any luck?

only got to play for about 30 min last night but the game is fantastic so far. I hope the game presents itself slowly and rewards exploration. Wish I could stay home today and play this game
Find a door that requires you to have 3 fragments. It's on the right of one the upper zones. IIRC you have to fall down something to get there. You'll get into a dungeon that eventually leads you to the area with the boss.

Yeah, I'm having the problem on a Surface Pro 3 so I'm not sure if this is an option. Someone else with the same Surface didn't have the problem at all so I don't know what's up. Anyone know what happens if I disable the display driver when there isn't another to fall back on? Will I be stuck with a black screen?
Found him, thanks!

Music in this game reminds me of Turbo Kid.
Just wanted to chime in to say the game is everything I hoped it would be for these past few years. Really pleased with the final product.
Only advice, wear some nice headphones and have them up loud. Between the fantastic music and the really cool sound design, it's a treat for the ears when you can pick up on all of it.

Works great, it was plug and play for me basically. I actually love having dash double mapped to a paddle, and am considering moving it to soft pull trigger permanently after the dash challenge.
Nope... But there's not many of them. It's not been too big a bother.
The length of the death resurrection anim on the other hand, gah, I wish we could hammer dash or something to get it over with faster. It's a pain when you're trying to kill a boss for the umpteenth time.
This sounds annoying, indeed.
Hmm, sounds good, gonna try this evening!
Yea that's my biggest complaint so far.
This isn't an issue for me since I never die. :^)
lol
An evil arrives causing destruction. You're summoned by something (the dog? Whatever it is) to defeat that evil but you're also dying from it.

Game bugged out on me at one point and set my death spawn location right in the path of a wall slam trap. Couldn't escape the trap due to the long death resurrection animation so in the end, I had to quit & reload. Fortunately, I didn't lose any progression.
Other than that, fun game. Beat the north boss after maybe half a dozen tries.
First time round, the only boss that required a lot of restarts was the final one. But on NG+ (and only two health segments) you end up dying a lot.

Had a Dark Souls moment. You know, when you're on your last bit of health and no more refills and the boss only needs one more hit to go down, and you need to close the distance to get that one last strike in, and that feeling of tension as you make that desperate but carefully timed roll to land the killing blow

I am the only one to have an "unknown error" since an update ? I cannot launch the game anymore :/
At least I can try to delete the game and reinstall it again but I want to keep my save, how should I proceed ?

I'm not feeling it either, it's decent and appropriately moody but overall it's just sort of... there. It never stands out or gets you pumped which I would have appreciated in the high-action rooms and bossfights. I felt exactly the same about Fez's soundtrack though.
