Like, even if you party up with some friends you'd have to never die in order to stay in the same squad. Or all die together, like true friends.

The stealth in New Colossus really feels jankier than the last two games. Commanders are getting alerts despite the mooks getting shot before they could yell or shoot it feels. Maybe I'm just crazy though. Super glad I only paid $15 for this rather than full price.

Yeah I bounced off TNC hardcore because it just didn't feel as tight of an experience after TNO. Between the wonkier alarm sounding and lack of solid feedback regarding taking damage it just doesn't feel as good to play.

I haven't bounced off it yet, but it's a serious slip from the previous game's quality level in two seriously important areas. I still absolutely love the characters and writing, and the gunplay is better, and the upgrade system is cleaner, and the set pieces have hit "straight up loving insane" territory, but those two areas are so core to the fuckin' thing it hurts that they're not as good as they should be.

Am I the only one who, in a game with weapon upgrading, will often put together a "Shopping list" and look up where to get some of the more annoying items more consistently? In Pandora's Tower I'm feeling underpowered, and my Scythe is barely upgraded, although on the level of my high level sword, so I've put together a list of all the total stuff that I'll need to upgrade my scythe at least to the same level as the sword (the sword is level 7 with 215 strength, the Scythe is only level 2 but with 216), which will make it monstrously powerful, because I've reached an annoying boss and the enemies are starting to take quite a beating, so I want more raw damage.

I’m honestly stunned at the great reception TNC has been getting. I only beat it out of stubbornness because goddamnit I paid $30 for it and I’ll get my money’s worth. I think the biggest issue for me was how cramped everything was. Every map was just a series of narrow hallways. Every now and then a hallway would fold in on itself a few times to give the illusion of openness. The fact that you spend the first half of the game with half health was an unbelievably terrible decision too. You get double armor but that’s basically meaningless since you still take health damage when being shot at even if you have armor. It kinda seems like they wanted to make a lovely cover shooter instead of a Wolfenstein game.

I dropped the game 2 hours in because I got tired of dying in 2 seconds to damage I wasn't even aware I was receiving. Also, the stealth and captain system sucks. Finally, manually picking up armor and health piece by piece is not fun and whomever didn't revamp that clearly didn't play through Doom.

Even worse are the kraken; when you recruit the beastmaster character you get two crystals which allow you to communicate to beasts, you need to use one of them to recruit the gryphon since you get a required character with him and you can pick between a kraken and a unicorn for the other and everyone picks the Unicorn because he has one of the funniest scenes in the game.

A general confusion is to be expected with a new game, I suppose, but I'm failing to be taught basic-as-poo poo things in Starbound, and I'm considering a refund with maybe 15 minutes into the game. Ten of that was the mountainous world I first stepped foot on, and died in two hits from a random mob.

I can't remember enemies ever having attack animations, so maybe. They bragged a lot about having infinite varieties of randomly generated enemies on every planet! But every enemy was the same because they just charged at you. Except the flying ones which just kind of flew at you and were impossible to hit. Then like halfway through the development, after fulfilling absolutely zero steps on their much touted road of development thing, the dev team just gave up and decided that their entire end-game goal was PVP and player-generated content instead of actually making their own drat game so I stopped playing it. Maybe things have changed since then, I don't know. spit on my clit posted:refund starbound if you can. get terraria instead, it is so much better, so much more polished. starbound's only draw is that it looks and sounds pretty. everything about it inside is bad Plus, inexplicably, terraria still officially updates.

Starbound's devs found out people were mining minerals out of sand really fast by cutting underneath it. Falling sand tiles would drop contained minerals automatically, which meant that a big sand pile could turn into a massive storm of valuable materials quite nicely. This was fun and encouraged careful play to make underground sand deposits into resource bombs. So they made it that falling sand tiles destroyed contained minerals instead of dropping them.

Terraria is both way better and very similar though so I'm not sure why anyone would play Starbound.
