Lowtax banned me because he thought I was trolling by acting really stupid. I wasn't acting.
Supergiant Games' last game (Bastion) was amazing, but what if they've sold out? :ohdear:

Bastion owned. although I will grant you that if there was no narrator at all, it might be pretty lonely and boring.

It's probably the best top-down Zelda that we'll never have.

It would still have been good without the narrator, but not as good or notable. the individual weapon mechanics and the path exploration mechanics were both still real cool. and the music as well.

no clue, but bastion's composer is also doing transistor's music so i'm excited about that if nothing else

he voices the talking sword, who is apparently the only speaking character in the game, so close enough

Has there even been any gameplay footage of Transistor? I literally have no idea how it plays. But I preordered it because I am an idiot with a paycheck.

WTF is wrong with you guys. :psyduck:

Man, Goons will hate anything.

Bastion seriously had one of the best soundtracks of all time and had really solid gameplay. It was an unequivocally good game.

I have also pre-ordered this game.

The gameplay was nothing new, the music was bland and I don't care about the narrator, as I hate all voices equally.

If the launch trailer is anything to go by: least the soundtrack will be good.

i guess it just depends on the generation. if you're an ADD millennial born after 1995 where you're exposure was mostly PS2/Xbox era 3D games then yea I can see why people think Bastion is boring.

but a lot of grew up on isometric hack-n-slash games on the NES/SNES and bastion is a pretty excellent throwback to those while managing to have a new stylized artwork and sound (unlike a lotta indie games that taut retro-8bit graphic bullshit as being cool)
