 What the heck even IS Momodora?!?
The first three games generally take less than an hour to beat casually (the speedruns are somewhere between like 6 and 12 minutes or so), but the fourth game (which is my current ongoing LP) is considerably longer.
The ongoing Momodora 4 LP is below. Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight (the prequel sequel) Horikawa Otane fucked around with this message at 12:19 on Jul 17, 2016 |

I kinda feel this a dump, but that would require me clicking on the videos. So I'll go with my assumption and say that you should read the rules or something.

Alright, you seem to be pretty dedicated so unlike the other goons, I'll explain what's up. Here on SA we don't like straight up video dumps. Generally people release an episode of a game, allow for some discussion, a link to this episode is added to the thread OP, and we wait for the next episode which repeats the process. This is great because the discussions can be genuinely pretty cool and if you really like (or really hate!) the game, you usually have a lot to say. When you just kinda put it all up front, we kinda don't know what to do with that. I know the LP Archive is a thing and everyone wants to get their efforts chiselled into it, but both your LP and the game you're showing off will be a lot better received if you get some discussion going. It will be much more memorable and popular too, if that's what you're after. EDIT: oh. Uh. Well, it's better but that's not quite what we meant.

Wait, so... is this like a foreign game then? I dunno if the LP subforum is ready for that. Maybe you should do the new Doom, Hory Kow?

I was told by a few friends on Skype that SA had a neat community and that I should see about posting my LPs here as peeps may enjoy them. That's all it was haha. If posting the first 3 eps of the ongoing Momo 4 LP is considered a video dump, then I sincerely apologize, mods can please close and archive the thread, and I'll be back when I start my next game (probably a Megaman fangame of some sort) so the entire thing can be done from episode one here. Otherwise, I'll take what I've learned and complete the LP updating it here, then make a new thread for the next one.

So with actual game discussion, Momodora 4 was a marked improvement over the previous games (though I only really played 3). The controls felt a lot better and the visuals were a step up, and even though it does borrow some ideas and game play elements from the Souls games, it doesn't really ruin the game by any means. Also if anyone was wanting to pick it up, the game is on sale right now for like $8 which isn't too bad.

I'd cut out repetitive deaths but eh, ymmv. I see what you mean by the Souls elements but I always feel poo poo like "explosive barrels post screen transition" was some good bullshit. Like what is that supposed to teach the player?

While 4 is pretty gosh darned good, 3 had a lot more variety in its environments and had actual music. My favourite may actually be 2 though, bizarrely haha. It had an actual ending. But yeah, I recommend the whole series, really (except maybe 1). 2 is free and super short, 4 is cheap as dirt, and 3 is even cheaper. Momo 4 is like a TOTALLY different game though - so while you'll miss references from the previous games if you start with it (like Edea's Pearl is a Momo 3 reference), you'll be able to follow along extremely well.

Good luck with this one, Otane. Also, a good idea with your updates is to include a short blurb telling people what can be expected in that update: plot important events, sick nasty combos, insightful diatribes on game design and suchlike so people have something to draw them in.

Anyway, whatever, the LP is fine by me and it doesn't seem like you're just trying to get more views. Goons hate being tricked into pumping your metrics - it makes them feel less like cognoscenti and/or connoisseurs.

In that mode, you start off with 1-hit kill and I THINK if you get all the health ups, you can survive a second in some cases. Not sure on that. Going to be recording the next episode shortly once a faster hdd arrives. For those just tuning in, I update a new video every Saturday at 11am EST so that'll be the next one haha.

Quick question, as I paused playing 4 in favour of playing the previous 3 first. Do any of the bosses in 3 drop special items if you beat them without damage, or is that solely a 4 thing?

I did LPs of the first three games if you want 100% guides (there are some REALLY stupid missables in the first game). However, as tips for 100%'ing 3 blind... If you want 100% you gotta do it fast (as I recall it's beating the grave zone in <25 mins?), always talk to the custom music girl until she runs out of dialogue, give the owl badge to her after beating the garden/bug boss, and check the area above the storekeeper in the first zone (there are invisible platforms) for a really badly hidden item.

Before it got patched the Bakman patch was actually pretty broken. If you had Edea's pearl equipped, poison would be added to each Bakman causing far more damage then it should have. Also it doesn't matter which way you go from here because they both lead to the same place.

On the plus side you get 4 uses instead of just 2, so in a non-hard setting that would be pretty sweet.

 New episode out! In this episode I defeat a FIRE DEMON. And sing. Briefly. >_>. Also we get to see, frankly, the prettiest part of the game so far. At least in my opinion. The game is getting more intense in some ways - and I still think the puzzle on how you get out of the Cinder Chambers is a little bit opaque, but maybe I am just a ditz - it wouldn't surprise me! (I apologize for the delay posting it here - I was a big ol' nerd at a science fiction convention and had no [real] internet access until like yesterday. I had the episode uploaded on schedule, but couldn't update this thread until recently) Combat Lobster posted:Before it got patched the Bakman patch was actually pretty broken. If you had Edea's pearl equipped, poison would be added to each Bakman causing far more damage then it should have. Someone had mentioned that there was some way to make it pretty broken. I'm glad to see it was patched haha. I was a little worried I'd stumble across it and break the game like I did in Momodora 3.

I actually sent the author, rdein, a message on twitter poking fun at him for this. He said he was sorry :P. It's kinda hilarious because apparently she's like one of the hardest bosses in the game and she's also apparently the ONLY one that gives you a duplicate item for completing her no-hit. I kiiiinda legit think it was rdein trolling to be entirely honest. Horikawa Otane fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Jun 1, 2016 |

Could you use that Necklace of Sacrifice + Bloodstained Missive + Drilling arrows to just burn down the boss? She attacks pretty slowly so you should be able to just roll past here and the drilling arrows should kill her dogs too.

I figured. Japanese games are big on sacrificing your health for power boosts. I'm kinda surprised they let you stack those together. I was honestly annoyed how long the default arrow charge is. I'm glad there's a power that reduces it.

SSNeoman posted:I figured. Japanese games are big on sacrificing your health for power boosts. Yeah, agreed on the charge thing. I think it was largely intended to be your first powerup haha. I just kinda... Did things in reverse order accidentally, I guess. However, I am almost entirely certain that the game is not Japanese. It simply appears that way (and is clearly inspired by some aspects of Japanese game design). rdein is Brazilian or something, I think? There's rather a lot of enemies in Momodora 1-3 that are based on Portuguese words, so that's sort of my guess. I know that the Japanese version of Momodora: RUtM was translated from English into Japanese by Playism, rather than being the source text.

Beyond that - in this episode, an old relative shows up to, uhh, kill us. I can't say I ENTIRELY blame them. BOY were they hard though - but fun. Learnable and hectic is a good combination imho!

 New episode out! Just in time for the SGDQ run on Tuesday - another episode of Momo4. On this one, we fight the second to last boss of the game - the Duchess Lupiar and the Royal Huntress Magnolia. However, they're... A bit brutal and unfair in my opinion. Maybe I was missing something, but... This recording took LITERALLY 3.5 hours so... I'm not a fan of these guys haha. Onward to the final boss!
