What's the scoop on Flinthook? Is it the next Spelunky or Nuclear Throne, or should I save my money and beat the games I already own (*cough*persona 5)?

What little I've seen of Flinthook looks pretty fun but probably not "put down Persona 5 for a while to play this" fun

I looked at some videos of Flinthook, my initial opinion is that the visuals are really busy and it looks hard to play.

one of my friends thinks flinthook is insanely good, but he's also my friend that gets super psyched about every single small studio indie game you've never heard of, buys them and gushes how great they are for 2 hours and then never touches them again, god bless him

Recently I visited my nephews and last I remembered they were into LEGO. It turns out that my info is way out of date as they're no longer into lame LEGO but into COBI which is a LEGO knock-off that produces military sets. The company apparently went all-in and recreates tanks, planes and trucks based on real models. The list is pretty insane.

I need to go back to Yoshi chat to present this: These baby Yoshi have boots, have no saddle, have... diaper? e: however, the Yoshi kids in the first Paper Mario do have saddle/shell.  Since they are Yoshi kids and not Yoshi babies the situation may be different. Olive! fucked around with this message at 19:25 on May 3, 2017 |

Flinthook has a lot going for it but ultimately seems to fall apart due to how they approached the rouge-lite elements of the game. Quick overview: Flinthook is a 2D rouge-lite wherein you play a space bounty hunter hunting down space pirates by attacking different space pirate ships. It's a silly setting but works well enough. You are assigned a bounty and have to take on a series of increasingly more difficult ships with semi-randomized rooms (the rooms are pre-fab but they are placed randomly), with the defeat of each ship bringing you a little closer to your bounty. Once you take on enough of the smaller ships, you attack the bounty ship and will be presented with a boss fight. If you die at any point, it's back to the beginning of the bounty (though you can take a trip to the black market to buy some permanent upgrades). Also, the game is hella hard. The movement and combat is Flinthook's strongest feature. There are hooks placed all over the rooms and you use them to quickly whip your little bounty hunter around. This mechanic is used to navigate trap rooms without taking damage and stay mobile to avoid shots during combat. The grappling feels snappy and good and mostly does what you want it to. You can also slow down time briefly which gives you a little more air-control and lets you set up difficult shots on your foes. Combat rooms give you waves of enemies to deal with and there seems to be a decent amount of variety with what they throw at you. The music and overall aesthetic is also worth mentioning as being pretty great. Flinthook has some really fun and energizing tunes. While those elements are good, though, the negatives ultimately made me lose interest pretty fast. One is that, as was mentioned above, the art style is a little busy. This can lead you to taking environmental damage that doesn't seem particularly fair just because your brain couldn't register spikes fast enough. Especially not good in a game that ostensibly is about speed and style. Biggest issue for me though was the difficulty, or rather, the difficulty spikes. Like I mentioned above, dying at any point during your bounty will reset you back to the beginning. And a single bounty can take 20-30 minutes to reach the boss (and it wouldn't surprise me if it got longer in the late game). The majority of the game isn't too tough, but the boss fights are absolute bitches. It really sucks to drop 30 minutes into a run, then do 20% damage to the boss and have to start all over. This obviously isn't unique in the genre, Binding of Isaac and Nuclear Throne both have similar expectations of the player, but I don't really find Flinthook interesting enough overall to want to repeat the same content over and over. So yeah, it's worth checking out, but I don't know that it'd be for everyone.

There has been a lot of retconning in the Mario lore, I learned in the past week that the Koopalings (Iggy, Wendy, etc.) are no longer considered Bowser's legitimate children because of the existence of Bowser Jr.

Flinthook being a rogue-lite is what made me not immediately buy it, honestly. I'd love more good action games with unique mechanics that aren't rogue-lites, but I see that trend isn't quite dead yet. At least we'll always have Shovel Knight.

On the flip-side I'm always jonesing for more good rogue-lites and the premise I read makes the game go straight onto my buy list after I'm done with exams!

Cowcaster posted:it was just the other day i realized that one of the koopa kids being named "morton koopa jr." implied that bowser's first name is morton Ah, but James Bond is James Bond Jr.'s uncle. You can draw the same conclusions as to what that implies happened between James Bond and his brother's wife, with Bowser and whatever unseen siblings he has. raditts fucked around with this message at 19:35 on May 3, 2017 |

Man I'd rather make my own tank, and have it be rainbow colored because otherwise I don't have enough Lego. And then the tank would go into a dock and split into a space ship and go on adventures to find the gi joes and other randomly mishmashed toys that I had.
