RESOGUN |OT| It's about kicking ass, and voxels

Hmm, isn't that just for the boost (L1)? I'm pretty sure the OD always drains completely with just a single tap of R1, so there's no way to control it like you can with the boost.

now i just have to beat some really good highscores on my friendlist.

There tons of stuff in the thread about keeping the multiplier up and I'm pretty sure that 35m score was done on Master or Hero level, but to answer your second question, pick one human up with the ship and use your laser to bounce the other one along so you can deposit them at the same time.

^ Speaking of DLC, what do you guys prefer?
1) A whole new set of 5 levels complete with new bosses, enemies, and leaderboards
2) New modes, like in SSHD
3) A focus on local multiplayer/co-op modes
Ideally, all three
But I wonder, considering Resogun's nature, what kind of new modes they can make. Did you guys like SSHD's Solo pack or Co-Op pack more? Did people find the Solo modes to be too gimmicky?
I'd love to see an expansion pack dedicated to a whole new set of stages
I'm envisioning some awesome expansion pack that takes place in caves and forests, instead of space. Sort of like saving the colonized humans back on earth. It's the same concept, but imagine using lush environments and caves, skyscrapers, waterfalls in the background, etc.
I am having a hard time envisioning what kind of new enemies/bosses they can make considering they seem to have them all down in the base game.
A co-op expansion pack also has a lot of potential, but I much prefer the resources to go towards the single player experience. I still feel like the co-op provided should have been better adjusted to make it seem more unique: sharing multiplier, player-specific enemies, donating bombs/lives to your mates, etc.
I'd love to see a set of new environments. The grim-dark, neo-futuristic look of Resogun is fine, but I'd kill for a few stages that would be a bit more colourful.
Oh, and I'd definitely like infinite looping - I keep hearing that Master loops to Hero, but Hero doesn't loop again, right? Gradius V for the PS2 was just stupendously addictive due to the fact that you could loop it indefinitely.

just more stages!
(and a new ship)doubt they will put out 5 stages though, one or two would be nice.

I need some friends so I can have some leaderboard battles. Everybody on my friends list has a pretty low score. I'm at the top of most of the lists and my scores aren't even good. Anybody want to help a brother out and send me a friend request?

Yea, it doesn't loop again. The focus on this game is much more on mastering the key moments to use Overdrive and figure out patterns to score high, as opposed to surviving to loop infinitely, like in Stardust.
That makes much more sense.

That should help. Sometimes you just have to really listen for the sound of the multiplier-released humans going off. And you have to be really careful about killing the keepers who have to be killed in order.
After some time off I came back to close out the Platinum. It was much easier than I anticipated. My only minor hang-up was with the last boss for 1CC. The Phobos doesn't have the same boost as a Nemesis so my previously sloppy dodge under its body was a foolish move :]
Fun game! Probably in for future DLC.

Got Platinum today. Last two trophies I had to get were beating the game on Veteran and beating a mission on Master without dying. Getting both of them was intense.

Damn, Master difficulty is so awesome. Those revenge bullets completely change the game. You can't even safely just shoot your way through a straight line of enemies anymore.
There must not be a whole lot of people playing it yet because my crappy 37 million for arcade puts me in 89th place.

The changed boss mechanics are awesome too!
No Overdrive doesn't drain completely with a single tap. It depletes slowly once tapped and you can stop shooting and start shooting again anytime you want during that phase. There is definitely a hidden mechanic there also.
Not really.
That first boss surprised the fuck out of me on master. Wonder which variant they started with on the design?
But you can't cancel the effect the same way you can with boost - does it actually slow down how quick the bar depletes?

Even then he is really tough, got him once in online coop. When I'm home I'm going to try again. 2nd last boss was much much easier.

I got mine yesterday. 1CC was the last trophy I needed and it was BRUTAL. I had 0 extra lives and 0 bombs for the last boss fight. Resogun is such a beautifully designed game

There is nothing more boring on this planet than doing the first stage boss with Nemesis and its horrible plinky-plink guns. I haven't timed it, but I estimate it takes about 4 hours and 282 rotations to finally destroy the core.

I tried an arcade run with Nemesis last night on Master and I am convinced that it's pointless to play with that ship. The second boss was so stupidly hard in comparison to using Phobos. It was crazy how much longer it took to beat him than it should.
I like the mobility of the ship, but the guns are just too weak to do a real run IMO.

...Intriguing.
Yeah, Phobos just is the go-to ship. I wonder how intentional it was, or if HM expected lots of variety in the top scores. If there is some hidden talent to Nemesis, I'm not seeing it.
I was playing around with boost-throwing, and I'm expecting it to be true that Nemesis can throw humans much farther than Phobos, right?
I agree about Nemesis. The maneuverability + homing projectiles + boost are great for maintaining multipliers and getting out of "oh shit" moments when trying to get the 1cc trophy, but at the higher difficulties it just becomes a chore to get through some of the enemies/bosses. Phobos is where it's at.

This is gonna be my first Platinum trophy.
Still gotta finish 1cc, Beat a level on Master Difficulty, Save all humans (almost there), and kill 100 enemies with 1 Overdrive.
I think 1cc will be alright as long as I get all the Bombs and Extra Lives.
ONE LAST THING: If you're not playing this game with Surround Sound, you're doing it wrong.

Still need my 1cc trophy. A friend offered to co-op it with me, but I kinda feel like that's cheating... Am I being too much of a nerd?
check your PM. Anyone that wants to co op for 1cc, PM me.

haha we had the same last trophy
As long as you can sleep at night knowing that your cheesed your way through the game, it's fine. (jk)
I posted a graph a couple pages back showing how to release all the humans.
Looks like I'm not going to be first for much longer
Seems like someone's been putting in some serious time and smashed all my individual level scores, only a matter of time before he goes for the overall record.
It's cool to see how much further the game can be pushed though, I'm mostly moving on to other stuff but I'll keep playing this on the side. Such a great game!
Time to finally give Ys Celceta the love it deserves

I'm beginning to think that this game has a balance issue.
Top 10 are all Phobos players, with the top 3 being Canadian.

Love this game more every time I play it. I'm a little confused though.
I just can't seem to rescue all humans on the first world. I shoot all the keepers and rescue them, but there's always one human that instantly seems to turn in to a red outline (in the tally at the top), without any keepers appearing etc. What am I doing wrong?
Also, on the leaderboards, there aren't many more than around 350,000 players. I'd have thought far more would have dipped in considering it's free on Plus.

Only started playing this last night, but my god is it addictive! Was supposed to get some work done for a Uni assignment, but that didn't happen!
Took me a good while just to figure out how the rescue the humans. Kept on here the notification that there were collectors incoming and didn't have a clue what they looked like. That was quickly followed by "human lost". I was pretty much shouting at my TV "Tell me how to save them!".
Figured it out eventually and started getting some decent scores. Still playing on the easiest level until I get a better hang of it!
Yea I have the same problem, humans randomly dying in their boxes. No idea what's going on there.

Got to the final world on experienced on a flawless playthrough, about to break my high score and... I lost my multiplier, gutted. Still 66th in the world isn't too bad :/
For some humans you need to have your multiplier at a certain level when their turn comes around. Here's a guide to help you if you're stuck

There are probably more than 350K players, but I'm guessing they just are showing the top 350K scores. And considering PS4 sold like a million or so, the numbers aint too bad.
