I have died a lot in this game, but I have made it to like the 7th floor with my current character, and once you get some blueprints going, the game does get significantly easier.
I actually am super enjoying this thing.

I like the way that, at least as far as Iāve made it, every piece of clothing I find matters. It reminds me of choosing Deprived in Dark Souls and acquiring my first piece of armor, a single boot.
Before this thread, I had never heard of this game. Iām enjoying it a lot so far, though Iām not spending as much time with it as I would have had it not come out right before The Last Guardian.
I am curious to discover what is permanent and what is not when you die without reviving or have your base attacked, neither of which I have yet experienced.

i havenāt liked any of the guns iāve picked up so i guess i just wonāt use them right now. getting into a good rhythm with the wrenches. now that iām in the thing proper, this is kinda fun!
i enjoy the feeling of frantically finding clothing that will help boost stats, and it ending up being things like ripped up jeans and a traffic cone. the music and aesthetics are pretty fun & less obnoxious than i was expecting, though i wish there was better sound mixing for the voices (mark hammill is in this??)
thank goodness this is a FTP thing and iām kind of digging it, i needed a distraction to delay my purchase of FFXV

So, some guy got the Jackals stuck in the premium elevator where they donāt attack for fear of hitting each other, and he began wailing away on one of them, determined to beat him. He streamed this whole thing on twitch.tv (at a frighteningly low bitrate) - it took like 15 hours of punching. The devs were watching, too, and even took the game down to hot patch the Jackals out of the game for everybody else so that this āexploitā can be fixed. When he finally beat the guy, he couldnāt pick up the dropped item because it was too close to the elevator lady so her prompt to change floors overrode the prompt to stomp the box open.
Dude just whimpered a bit and ended the stream. Some people say he started streaming again later and just spent the time eating poison mushrooms and vomiting. The devs are sending him something in real life I guess, as thanks or in solidarity or something. Fifteen hours, wowza.
He got a tweet from the creator of the game at some point (the character he was playing in the elevator was named Linda):

And then some others when Linda actually defeated the Jackal:

Of course, the guy(s) running the official LID twitter were watching:

So, yeah, if youāre wondering what that mail in your underground rolodex is mentioning Linda for, thatās what.

this game seems pretty cool. if it didnāt come out right when I got a PS4 and bought bloodborne and the last guardian Iād be playing it. should be a nice bonus for owning the system once Iām done with those two, even if my glacial souls-playing pace means that wonāt be for an eternity

wow, this game sort of came out of nowhere for me. one day i was on Twitter and saw someone say something about āSuda51ās Souls gameā and i was likeā¦
anyway, this is the first Suda game iāve paid attention to in what feels like a long time! i like it! a lot!
it plays a lot better than i thought it would and itās weirdly polished in a way i wasnāt expecting, considering āFTP Souls Rip Off.ā
but mostly what i wanna know is - can i get the Waiting Room music back to the original music because if i have to listen to Japanese Nu Metal for the rest of the game iām going to be incredibly sad.
add me on PSN if you havenāt already! isfet0
thereās a radio in the arcade room you can use to change the muzak
Suda didnāt really have anything to do with this i donāt think.
i like it, is good, but fuck that lock on camera
yeah but that specific song! thereās like 300 songs on that damn radio. ;__;
camera has some issues, for sure. have had a few deaths pinned directly to that.
Does anyone actually know what Sudaās precise involvement with anything post-Killer7 has been
seems like on this game heās a in a creative director kind of role with the scenario/aesthetic kind of stuff going through him to some degree
When the game required me to attack someoneās base to advance, it matched me up with someone with minimal defenses. I kidnapped one of that playerās fighters, but then felt bad and let the guy go right away.
I then set up what I thought was a decent defense, but someone attacked my area the next time I stepped out and broke everything. I didnāt seem to lose all that much, though. I guess you donāt totally drain the banks.
While my base was under attack, I was in the middle of a long multi-segment path that had started to make me nervous until I finally found a functional elevator with no armor and one brittle weapon remaining.
Hereās a bit of info about the raids:
- The player they make you invade for the tutorial is just that: a tutorial developerās account - donāt feel guilty; you can keep that hostage for as long as you want for some SPLithium
- Other players that raid you compare 2 things when looking for a target: the amount of currency you have in your two banks, and your raid level (the number under the probably bronze emblem to the right), so to make yourself a less favorable target, increase the latter by doing successful raids and defenses, and decrease the former by spending your money before climbing the tower or signing out, and leaving reward money in your reward box until you absolutely need it
You can spend SPLithium to increase your max amounts of currency, and this also increases the HP of your banks. This means that the raiding players have to spend more (limited) time beating them down. Also, after a while, you can make ādefenderā type characters. They can tank for your banks, so to speak, and slow the raider down even more.
Itās true that the raiders only see 10% of your funds, but the problem is that you can get raided ten (made-up number, but itās happened to me) times in a night while youāre gone. Sure, 10% of 90% of your funds is smaller than 10% of 100% of your funds, but all those raids add up. If youāre a tasty target for the first raider, youāre still a pretty tasty target for the second raider, and the third raider, etc.
Initially I just didnāt bother assigning characters to defend at all because I didnāt want them kidnapped but now I do add enough people to hopefully increase the chances of a raider dying or otherwise not completing the raid. I wanna keep my rating up so people wonāt even bother.

I will be curious to see how many times Iāve been invaded when I sign in tonight. Iād just spent all of my money on a reusable decal, but I guess that one or more of my three defenders could be taken, their upgraded pants notwithstanding.

you can get it back, itās like song 00 or something?
however you could jam 2 that rad aural vampire track imo
there are a few standouts among the lame metalcore but yeah thereās a lot of that stuff
Am I missing or is this game just kinda bad
And yet characters are, besides a few matrix-plugholes and a facemask, ideally toned, fit, healthy humans.
i assumed that all the people we see are lab-grown soldiers made by some outside conglomorate or something, with the assumption that the towerās treasure will be worth more than the money theyāre spending on making soldiers
The cutscenes in this are quite fun
