yeah, I’ve got 6 hits to play with right now and it’s just not quite enough to make this survivable
Sure is! I got it last year around the time it came out and posted about it in a previous GUPT thread: Games You Played Today: 358 Threads Over 2 - #1562 by Tegiminis
I’m glad more people are getting into it because I think it’s criminally under-seen. Fantastic game. Here’s the store link again for anyone considering getting it. Elevator pitch is “vertical shooter with 300 unique weapons where you shoot in time to the beat”.

Tried Destiny 2 for the first time in years and I have no idea what is going on and what I should do beyond witch queen campaign stuff

Oh I think you can get more nanotech on Orxon but it’s pricey.
The Witch Queen campaign is really sizeable, you’re doing nothing wrong if you’re just doing that. But the current season event takes place on the moon on a ship called the Dreadnaught. So there’s really just these two “campaigns” you could be focusing on. You’re at the point where doing any event on either the dreadnaught or the throne world is useful progress.
I’ll focus on the witch queen campaign and then the seasonal one. Not a tonne of time to play as I have shoots lined up for work but I will try the old shadowkeep stuff and beyond light at another time.
yeah, there’s not really a reasonable way to get another 30,000 bolts in a non-NG+ play through after you bought the Tesla Claw, lol
so I am now calling on the power of the Sega Dreamcast coffee table book to help me get there

Caves of Qud sure makes a terrifying first impression! I’m intimidated as hell. But the vibe is absolutely perfect and I don’t think they’d be able to hit that mysterious 80’s computing note so well if the game had a friendlier onramp.
I guess it’s time to watch some How To Play youtube videos.

I honestly kind of love this glitch, you’re not supposed to be able to get to the hoverboard track outside of a race, but it’s possible and it turns out it has some unusual game rules; enemies don’t attack, and boxes respawn whenever they’re outside of the camera frustum. this is exploitable using the taunter, which breaks open boxes in a wider angle of attack than the camera frustum, so if you sit under one of the platforms covered in boxes, with it just out of view, and hold down the taunter’s trigger, it breaks an infinitely respawning stream of boxes

There’s an even funnier one in the second game where every youtube video explains how you do it uses a post game bolt multiplier to make it seem a lot more impressive than it actually is.

This is 100% my favorite videogame. Took me months to get comfy at it but I’ve been playing it for years without ever getting sick of it. And the dev team rules.
My recommendation of you are looking for a little more safety to experiment is to play as a True Kin for a bit. They have generally higher stats/more early game robustness, and spawn with more resources and water, which makes it easier to experiment in the early game and learn the strength/attack danger of various early game enemies. Once I learned how hard various things could hit and which ones to be scared of, it was a lot easier to play as a Mutant.
Another cheese strat:
start as a true kin. Spec for a class that gives Wayfaring, if you want—this will make you less likely to get lost while navigating the overworld.
You will spawn with at least one good book most of the time. Sometimes you spawn with a shit ton of books. You are looking for a start with a shit ton of books.
Take the quest in the starting town to go to the Six Day Stilt. A religious zealot will give it to you—he’s the one running around town yelling. Once you get it, you are gonna want to walk to the small structure visible in the salt desert at the top left of the screen. Along the way you are gonna either get lost a few times or be alerted to secret lairs or ruins the game will let you visit. Stop and see them if you feel brave, and keep your eyes peeled for bookshelves—they are pretty obvious and usually hold 2-3 books.
The SDS is a city built around a large central religious structure. It’s 3x3 tiles and if you head straight north from the starting tile you will find the interior of the temple. Just inside the door to the left is a librarian you can give books to. They will give you a shit ton of XP per book. If you stop at enough ruins sites on the way to the city you could get like 8-10 levels from giving books to this person.
This will make you unbelievably ripped and strong enough to return to the starting area in the bottom left of the map and steamroll everything. You can spend your XP on a bunch of different abilities and see which ones you like best. There are a lot of cheap utility abilities to try out—sometimes I really prefer being able to cook easily, other times I like experimenting with tinkering, etc. Cheesing this huge amount of XP will let you figure out what you like

I’ve wondered about this too. hitman absolution was another one. I think it was the worst tarantino thing money making wise and it came out in 2007 and these two games were 2011 and 2012 games.

Can probably just pin it on Rodriguez. You got Sin City and whatever his Grindhouse half was called and then Machete, that’s like half a decade worth of shit that lunkheads lapped up
I mean Kill Bill existed too, maybe shit like that’s a factor, but I never saw it, I hope to remain ignorant about it for another two decades

whoops i played this all afternoon
the infinite playlist mode where other players comment on the songs nicovideo-style is really bizarre but hey something that feels kinda like IIDX that i don’t have to take an hour train ride for. playing it on the xb controller is hand-destroying but there’s keyboard support!
