Remote play ftw until work is over.
I believe the one I took a picture of is larger but I don't care! BOUGHT.

I think it's more that they don't want to get the stigma of being late or second class, but by doing this they're potentially going to dig that hole very deep. For indies they could easily be less second class and more whatever Wii U is for AAA retail.

No.

Up on PSN yet? Grace Chen?
Initial thoughts (playing on PS4):
- Presentation is even better than it was in Bastion. Art is higher quality and more... dense, I suppose.
- A tutorial for the skill menu (the equipping of them) would have been nice but it didn't take too long to work out.
- Combat... it's hard to say whether it's better or worse than in Bastion because it's so different, so I won't. However it is fun and though you spend most of the time fighting using the strategical queue, you can't rely on it when it comes to defence so there's a nice balance of calm before the storm though it feels like a cycle that may get a bit repetitive.
Enjoying it so far, though.
If you use the web store you go through the pre-order still but once you've paid it lets you download to your PS4.

Only an hour in and God this game is great. It's blowing my mind right now.
Not in a revolutionary gameplay way, but in the overall theme, originality and setting.

About an hour in so far and it's been an absolute blast. Quick question regarding a function you pick up that featured in Giant Bomb's QL:
I'm sure I'm missing a button press or something, but I can't seem to find it.
How do you control the Help() dogs? Or in my case, I've put Help on my Jaunt and it creates a User Copy, but I can't select it to tell it what to do.

Shoutouts to Sony for day front page placement on PSN. In the spotlight and has its own tab. Sony getting behind it properly.

Bested the first boss! This game is awesome. Also, losing your life in a battle sucks.
Game mechanic spoiler:
Also: Beach Ball!
There was a tool tip that popped up for me:
This was when I made it a primary ability and not a support one. I think the command is still the same either way

one of your abilities goes offline, and you have to activate a certain number of access points to get it back

R1 to use that ability and gain control of your "party member"

Dat first boss fight!
The music, I extended the fight as long as I could to hear the entire track.
Again, my hats off to Supergiant.
That's how I use it too. So full of win!

Is anybody getting performance issue on PC? I've had a lot of hitching and 2 hard freezes on a PC that can run most games almost on ultra.
Thanks, for some reason
I don't think I can control my Jaunt() copy, which makes me wonder what its function is. It has a draining life of 20 but nothing seems to attack it. Strange.
Everyone seems to be having the issues. Haven't had a freeze yet, though the stuttering issues are quite prevalent.
They did just issue a patch, restart Steam and see if it starts downloading
I just discovered that combination, haven't gotten a chance to try it in battle yet.
That would be too bad if no one focuses on the copy.

Same, I still got 2 hours left! *Grumble*
Anyways, good to hear user impressions matching the 8's and 9's the game is getting. Cannot wait to download it!

I got a cold today and have 3 days off due to my job not allowing me to work with contagious illness, go bad luck!
Amazing game.
Child of Light doesn't hold a candle to Transistor.
I love them both, but this game.....

When 360 had the big lead it worked. Now that they are behind it's working against them.
yep, I am getting tiny pauses and crashed once

Yeah, trying out all the combinations to unlock the decryption stuff is my main incentive right now while trying out different play styles. Some of the combos are pretty fun, I really enjoy Load() --> Jaunt() + Spark because what once made a skill that was hard to use against fast enemies suddenly became a bomb that exploded instantly behind you, leaving a trail of destruction.

Attn: Supergiant Games team: If you ever find yourself stumbling about in the Tenderloin or Polk Gulch, I feel it my civic duty to buy you all a beer. You've done a tremendous job here with Transistor.
In what ways? Bastion is one of my favorite games of the last generation. Don't do this to me, man. I can't go in with these expectations and not have them met.
Just buy it off the US store. Simples.
I'm really enjoying it so far. The battle system has an element of strategy to it and the music is just fantastic. I spent a good 15 minutes just listening to In Circles at the Beach.
I was fine with no tutorial. I felt smart for figuring it out and it only took about a minute of reading and drawing lines. And man this is glorious. It's beautiful and fast and best of all, all the vocal soundtrack so far is actually just as good as the trailer !! Usually the trailer song is basically the equivalent of a single, but I just listened to In Circles for a good 10 minutes.

Screw it I'm going to download it and buy it. Something to hold me over until Tuesday.
PC version, though they did just issue a patch.
Try restarting Steam to apply the update. I can't confirm this fixes the issue, but there is a good chance it does.
