The thing that hooked me on VS were the later levels and the complete mystery as to whatever the hell was going on. The last couple levels and the end boss are particularly crazy.

Yeah the trick was he posted every dumb rumor he could think of while on a private account, then deleted all the incorrect ones after the direct, then went off private so everybody could see he posted the whole thing two weeks ago

Didn’t a well known leaker get a bunch of details of the last big Direct correct? Even emphasized the word WONDER

The only leaker I trust was that stripper who had a NoA guy as her client but I think that well dried up when he caught on or got fired.

Yes, this guy. He got everything in the Direct and then some stuff after it. NSO release trailers usually drop during primetime in the US so we'll see if he's finally slipped up.

I approve of the period accurate trailer style to the point where I had to check they weren't doing it all in 4:3.

The reason you know Pyoro is a good leaker is because he never predicts a Switch Pro or Zelda remaster.

Not if your first impression of the game came via Splattercat checking it out. He had a good way of putting it into words right from the start. Got me hyped to pick it up just from seeing how much fun he had with it.

I went in totally blind.

After one minute: "this is...okay, very simple. Also stupid ."

After ten minutes: "okay fine but this is still stupid"

*next day*

"Okay these unlocks are pretty cool,maybe I'll try this character"

And now it's too late

stop staring at me

The Vampire Survivors dev used to work in the gambling industry, and I think it shows. The audiovisual experience in that game is an assault on the senses that keeps you hooked on trying to reach the next level up—or when you finish a run, on starting right back over, maybe with a different character on a different stage.

There may be a lot of auto-shooter survival games (or rear end games, as Jeff Gerstmann likes to put it) out there, but as VS demonstrates, there's a lot more psychology to it than just pure game mechanics, which is why it's so hard to recapture that magic in an imitator

I think the enemy distribution and speed is also pretty well-tuned. Like you can escape from big traps if you've got a good weapon and a plan based around it

In the garbage where it belongs. I always wanted to love that game but it was such a mess. Somehow I ended up doing more damage with my staff than spells.
