It's not, Twitch is being screwy. The popout version works for me.

I played a lot of Snake Rattle 'n Roll as a kid, trying to land accurate jumps in that game's "3D environment" was hell.

Also Goof Troop is one of those games you always hear about but I've never actually played it. That race was real close at parts.

Some games are simply more interesting if you know the game yourself. As someone who knows Silent Hill this run was cool, but since I haven't played that particular Fire Emblem I can't get as much out of it.

Also it was super early in Europe when that FE run started.

Back in the day when I was younger and open world games weren't really a thing, me and my friend could spend a lot of time just looking at the cool-sounding places on the map that shipped with the game.

The gameplay hasn't really held up but it still has the most interesting locale in the series.

They probably should've increased the brightness a bit.

No Rebirth is definitely a curious choice since they're playing a race, considering it pretty much removes luck from the equation.

Necrodancer is one of those games that looks really cool but I never bought (because of trying to be responsible :smith: ) so I'm really looking forward to just seeing what the game is like.

You should buy it just for the greatest singer in video games; the Shopkeeper.

Either good commentary or a fair race are kind of necessary to make this entertaining but without either it's not particularly interesting. Shame too since BoI and especially Rebirth is a really fun game.

Original BOI doesn't support seeding by default, by the way. The only way I know to do it is to use spidermod which also has cheat features, so people are also nervous about that.

Maybe people need to chill and race for fun and charity in this stream meant for fun and charity instead of caring about any of that. This is a bad race no matter how you look at it.

Also I'm pretty sure there's an as of yet unreleased character that combines all the flaws, meaning instant death from picking up gold in addition to instant death from enemies and instant death from one missed beat while you're stuck with the starting dagger.

Oh, and the entire game runs at double speed.

dpbjinc posted:

Why did they even put this character in the game?

For when you just want to chill and listen to some catchy music. The character itself is extremely easy to play since without the rhythm mechanic, NecroDancer is a very easy roguelike.

Nothing wrong with Bard as a character but it's a boring choice for this.

Conga line too strong

This game is harder to play than it looks because you don't have any time to pause and think like in normal roguelikes (unless you play Bard). You have to be constantly reacting and it's extremely easy to accidentally make mistakes. You can't even stand still without a certain item.

Cool thing about that chess boss is that it follows real chess rules, for example if the pawns hit the bottom row they become queen enemies instead.

Roonerspism posted:

It's okay though because bard dies a lot in the early game.

Apparently.

To be fair Bard does punish being rushy the most because the speed depends entirely on your own speed. If you want to go super fast the enemies will also go super fast, but it's all under your control.

I'll buy it when its fully out.

But yeah its one of those games I think to myself that wont ever be finished cause they already have your money.

The game has been getting regular updates, the latest patch that added a new character was released a couple of weeks ago.

If you like rhythm games and/or roguelikes it's worth the money in my opinion.
