I just double looped and got to 5-3 again with horror, which is the best I've ever done. Discovered the heavy auto crossbow and ultra grenade launcher which I never knew existed and my god the ultra grenade launcher is ridiculous. It pulls enemies in and does a lot of damage on contact before making an explosion many times the size of the normal grenade launcher's. Combined with that, a lightning cannon, and horror's ultra ability that makes portals appear early, I had levels ending before I'd gotten away from the screen where I started. I also found that horror's ability makes you instantly win the pizza sewers and crown vaults. You just get in there, everything falls down dead, the police come in and instantly die, portal  edit: I don't know what changes were made to the other bosses but big bandit's change seems to be that there's 1 more for every loop you're on.

Big Bandit is the only changed loop boss so far.

-Big Dog has no changes -Lil' Fucker gets double speed on loop, probably glitched on loops after that -Throne gets 1000 more HP each loop instead of 200

I know this thread is mostly played out, but I'm still playing, and I'm getting really tired of the loving portal black hole effect robbing you of upgrades. It's a massive gently caress you to the player, completely unavoidable, and seems to be there for no other reason than to artificially make the game harder.

When you say robbing you of upgrades you mean it sucks you in before you get to the chest or the rad canister right? It's really not a big deal in my opinion, it's pretty darn simple to either not kill the last guy immediately or not be near its body when the last enemy dies. It's part of being Pro. edit: and here's me at Peak Dodging. It was mostly luck I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C2AGRli5pw&hd=1 Fayez Butts fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Mar 15, 2015 |

I mean if you get screwed out of a rad canister or weapon crate cause of a portal they at least make it up to you by giving you a large rad can/the chance of a large weapon chest.

Last Wish shouldn't 'take up' a mutation. If you choose it while leveling it should reset your level , if you choose it from the crown you should be able to pick the crown once more. Keep the picture, call it long term thinking.

I think it has a fine niche. I sometimes take it on my last level before hitting the throne on a speedrun attempt. I'm often skipping ammo crates and sometimes it doesn't give me the option of picking the good ammo traits like recycle gland or throne butt on steroids. Kinda nice if you've got back muscle and 2 good weapons but low ammo in the lab or later too.

I think the Big Dog changes have really changed up Oasis runs in a really fun and hard way. Now that you go directly from 1-1 to Oasis to Big Dog's lap, you only get two weapon chests and likely 1 mutation before you have to take on Big Dog immediately. It's hard as hell, but I've been trying it lately with Robot, because Robot in 3-3 with all of his mutations ahead of him sounds like it could be a force to be reckoned with. You can get some really fancy weapons really early on in a run and just pick your mutations based on that It's super hard, but it's fun. You basically have to get a good enough weapon on 1-1 to kill Big Bandit before the time limit, and then hope you get a good enough weapon (and a lot of ammo) in Oasis to kill Big Dog.

Play steroids, double revolver is totally valid going into 4-1. If you get a slugger or xbow the chance that you get 2 is very high because it seems that steroids has a very high chance to get repeat weapon chests on 1-1 and oasis, and then you're good until labs.

I still love Crown of Blood but Big Dog is now really drat hard because a bad spawn location can put you at the center of ravens, robots, and a wall of slow bullets. It's honestly made me appreciate Hammerhead a lot more since I can dig out a crawlspace if that happens. Can't stop though, hitting Level Ultra by the place right after the Frozen City is an addiction I can't quit (died last time with Robot because I picked up a Super Slugger and thought that I could ignore my ammo issues with regurgitate and throne butt. Fun fact : you can't)

In a fit of boredom until Bloodborne comes out, I just purchased this on steam. Pretty much knowing almost nothing about it other than Goons like it. Any newbie advice or things I should be aware of?

worry more about survival than getting every last pickup try to keep upgrading your loadout, because the pistol won't be very helpful past a certain point, and neither will a shotgun or a wrench

Go slow, unless you're better at going fast. Then go fast. All mutations are good, but some are better than others. I can't think of too many times I wouldn't take a rabbit paw. Good beginner charcters: robot, crystal, steroids. Gotta learn ammo management with steroids though.

I've been playing exclusively as Rebel and I like to spawn the max number of guys every level. It's surprisingly effective if you get a few med kits or rabbit paw. And Rebel's throne butt...

Took a trip to YV's mansion to check out the new guns and ended up with a heavy assault rifle. As a late game weapon it (like many bullet weapons) is a good utility/clean up weapon to compliment some hungrier, slower, or just more specific weapon. compared to the heavy revolver and heavy machine gun it has better burst damage but makes it harder not to waste ammo. So yeah, just a big boy version of the the regular assault rifle. I like it, it looks cool and feels very satisfying (like all heavy bullet weapons). I'm also kind of glad for an excuse to quit playing crown of blood all the time. It definitely made me a better player but I'm ready for something more...sedate.

The latest change to followers is really, really bad and the bleedout is still a problem. It wouldn't also be so bad if the game kept track on how much HP you spent on followers in a level and replenish your HP based on that.

They massively reduced the difficulty of the loop. What the pants-making GBS threads gently caress. This is the wrong way to balance your game when your less seasoned players are finding the game too hard and quitting while the upper tier players are complaining about the game being too easy. On top of Rebel being loving useless due to the lovely bleedout mechanic on followers, this is a terrible update overall.

It's pretty interesting, you basically get to start with one of your favorite mutations but from then on out you're on your own. I thought I could also circumvent most of the levels going to a choice of just 2 mutations by taking the first portal statue and picking another crown, but it seems like if you do that, your next levelup goes by without giving you a mutation. Kind of ruins the point if so, but I'm not sure that actually happened, I need to pay more attention. Owl Inspector fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Mar 29, 2015 |

Re Crowns, afaik you only get their bonus as long as you have that crown. e.g. if you had the crown of blood and replaced it with the crown of explosions, you'd go back to the normal spawn rate. It makes sense that you don't get an additional bonus for the crown of destiny when it's removed. I've been playing with Plant recently, I'm finding the vine growths really useful especially for blocking jerks who do contact damage. No more insta deaths in the sewer because a loving rat decided to bounce between me and a wall. So far I've reached the throne more than with other chars, still have to defeat the fucker though.
