the scary thing about this game is that the first 3 floors are just a warmup for 4 & 5 where poo poo goes bonkers

the first floor is painfully slow tho, but it was designed as basically a tutorial to practice the mechanics. it amps up quickly and the loving raven always manages to hit me

most of the "hidden" rng was found to be untrue and debunked by the devs

Alain Post posted:

The worst hidden variable is the one that makes it nearly impossible to get more than two S-tier items. Wtf

most games like this have stuff like that to keep you from becoming god. like binding of isaac classifies a few items as "special" and if you've ran into one of them running into a second is highly unlikely, and a third is improbable

the rng can be pretty brutal sometimes though, and in such a hard game even missing one chest because the game refuses to cough up keys can be really rough. the chests with a lit fuse shouldn't exist in a game where you have to be really careful with your key use imo

Supply Drop Update
Enter the Gungeon’s Supply Drop Update is a free update that will add over a hundred new rooms to the Gungeon that include new weapons, enemies, companions, bosses, and shrines for even the most seasoned Gungeoneer. Elite gunslingers will also be able to tackle unique pasts for both The Robot and The Bullet, a selection of new enemies and an all-new boss – the Mine Flayer! It also features a new game mode, Challenge Mode, which makes the game much harder by adding random modifiers each room.

man when i last played i could consistently get to dragun and i was more concerned with unlocking stuff (shortcuts, bullet of the past). now i keep dying on floor 4

i wish everything had like 15% less hp

use the guns you get, chances are the game will hand you ammo

extremebuff

the hunter is probably the best class. the crossbow wrecks the first 2 floors, and there are several ways to trade guns in for something else once it doesnt keep up so it doubles as free rare currency. the dog also means more stuff on room clears. i basically dont play anyone else

i cannot get the prime primer. you have to be really lucky to have enough money to get it, and buying it is tying a hand behind your back for the rest of the run unless you keep getting lucky with money

extremebuff
Jun 20, 2010

unless you get really unlucky your firepower and amount of guns keeps going up as you go deeper, even most of the shittier guns can mince rooms in 4 & 5. dont be afraid to use up ammo and youll have a lot more fun with the game

had +1 bullets and this took out the lv.4 boss in 12 shots lol

found a rainbow chest with a railgun and gundromeda in it, so i finally got the complete bullet and killed the hunter's past :)

lmfao. How slow is it?

1:1 to how it was in the show lmao

i found the SAA and the patriot in this run. the shop was also selling the railgun but it was insanely expensive, either way the patriot really fucks bosses up and unless the pilot's past is really hard ive got this one in the bag.

after how easy the other 2 were the marine's past really hosed me up

extremebuff
Jun 20, 2010


this game owns

i beat everyone's past. time for the real final level..

the marine's past is way loving harder than everyone else's, the pilot's past makes me hope the devs do something else with this engine and art style. a carefully crafted campaign with the game's physics and feel would own imo

extremebuff
Jun 20, 2010

once you beat the past w someone you can use that first shrine to gain +9 curse, effectively making the run extremely hard. cool

i didnt last long lol

goferchan posted:

Apparently curse also boosts $ drops from enemies and also makes mimics a lot more likely so you don't need to use keys on chests tho. so that's kinda cool

yeah at +9 a lot more money and ammo drops, but enemies are jammed half the time. they have triple HP so you need to feed them way more ammo than usual, and when a lot of advanced jammed enemies spawn in the same room you're probably gonna die

another fun thing that happens a lot at +9

saw the real final boss of the game for the first time. walked in with 1HP, i was not expecting a second form and i shouldve lol. came sooo close to killing him :/

hes not even that hard but floor 6 is a real loving nightmare, even if you have a ridiculous weapon like gunther

the supply drop update is finally coming in january, but the beta that includes the bulk of the content is playable right now.

If you'd like to start playing with these right now, you can switch to the beta easily in Steam by right clicking Enter the Gungeon, going to Properties, opening the Betas tab, and choosing "beta_public" from the dropdown.

also, the boss of bullet hell has a third form. i went in with god mode (found a rainbow chest that run and a bunch of amazing poo poo that all synergized) with like 8 hearts and i still just barely scraped by, completely insane and im p. sure it had more health than the dragun. the guys at devolver have lost their minds

extremebuff
Jun 20, 2010

in almost 200 hours of playing this game i found the glitchy chest for the first time and the game completely hosed me over on keys and ammo so i had no choice but to try to do the glitch fight with the starter pistol and died. i dont think ive ever been this upset with a game before lol

extremebuff
Jun 20, 2010

new active item is a puzzle box, every few times you use it it generates a random cursed item/gun. i got it on floor 1 and it immediately gave me the patriot, then excaliber lol. but my curse got so high everything was jammed and i died on floor 3 lmao

also fought the mine flayer, very cool boss. kinda sad they only added one new boss but it is a totally free update, i'd gladly pay for a proper expansion 2 this game

the new challenge mode in the beta is extremely sick. every room gets a random modifier, like mortars dropping, enemies turning into tommy gun ghosts once you kill them, forge hammers from floor 5 paying you a visit while you fight gattling gull.

you can also combine it with the gun blessing to max out the crazy. i dont think i'll ever beat it but it's loving fun as hell lol

lol cool just realized that the Eye of the Beholster gun flashes "BEHOLD" instead of "RELOAD" when your clip is empty. also i made it to the second secret area and the king boss is freaking hard

game is full of cute little details like that

tfw the very first chest you find has gunther in it

extremebuff
Jun 20, 2010

i found singularity, red scarf, gilded bullets, scattershot and cigarettes in the same run. i can recharge singularity and shoot a second one out before the first one's over. im about to no-hit the 6th floor boss i think.

e: beat him in like 30 seconds lol. you don't get anything for no-hitting him, not even an acknowledgement that you did it. thats pretty lovely man

Dongicus posted:

there's a noticeable tell without needing to shoot randomly. the wall colour is slightly off

theres only a few rooms secrets can be connected to, basically dead-ends. if youre too lazy to check around, the elevator after a boss is always a safe bet, so is a shop with only one exit.

old king is pretty bad, but door lord hosed me up bad. ive never run into it again though, it must be really rare

Oh poo poo the bloodied scarf dropped next floor after killing old king .... this could be The Run. I've never made it to the Forge boss before though

edit: it wasn't , lol. panicked on the second form ..... so close though

i hate the red scarf lol. theres a noticeable delay on the iframes and it feels funky. at least you got to practice the 5th floor some more

you still move a little too slow for my liking yeah, and there will be big chains of rooms with no teleporters in them still which is stupid af for me. but hey theres a lot more stuff and it keeps it fresh

I got the AWP+pentazemin combo but still couldn't beat hell. I hate those maggot shells.

hell is excessive but my least favorite enemy in the game is the book mage that summons little bullet minions. they will just teleport an inch away from you with no warning and it loving pisses me off

honestly the dragun fight is bullshit lol. ive only fought the lich a handful of times but he fights fair and i can nail him consistently. dragun just shoots crap everywhere and you either have a blank/bulletproof item or you get hit

also when the knives come out you still auto-aim for dragun very aggressively and any kind of homing shots prioritize him which is really dumb

on bosses theres some aim assist so that it's easier to focus on dodging, but on dragun it locks on really hard lol
