I went into this not spoiled for anything
lies here emotionally shredded by paper boats
I'm so smad I put playing this off for so long, it's audiovisually gorgeous and the gameplay was super interesting and fun to learn. it was short, but sweet, didn't overstay its welcome...
3 years later I'm still upset
hucks royce off a cliff tho
u crappy little television man
UGH it was such a good game
I'M SO GLAD YOU PLAYED IT
ah.. lays a hand on your shoulder understandably
as soon as I typed that I was like sweats that's right crystal plays royce
waking up to nemo yelling angrily about the ending at 5am
and then I was like IDC ROYCE IS HOT GARBAGE
royce sucks but i do love him tbh
he had a very very very good punchable mumble voice
it was incredible voice acting
I just wanted to slam dunk that television off the fairview bridge
it's been ages since i played the game so my memory of it might be rusty but i thought it did a great job of bringing light to the motives of the camerata
I'm not super into story being monologued out by one person but it was refreshing after all the walls of text in the functions, sweats
which I guess is the two ways to get story across in games like this
but my eyes definitely glazed over at the function text, I need to go back and read into this game more, I'm super into the story
supergiant is bizarre bc they are simultaneously great with atmospheric storytelling and then they also piledrive you with a shitload of lore in block text format
at the time I was just like I wanna beat the gaaame
ye I think it works bc the lore is mostly supplemental
i read through all the function text but i feel you... my eyes were glazed when i was trying to read thru the stuff in pyre
like pyre gives you a whole fucking history book
i just vastly prefer transistor but,
yeah p much. like the game works without it, I'd still feel emotionally invested
it's intimidating to have in game and nice to have out ig
i think they just try to have the best of both worlds lol
the writer seems like the kind of person who knows well enough to do atmospheric/hands-off storytelling, but also gets very excited about the worldbuilding and shares it optionally regardless
im ok with it... i just gotta have the energy to read it i suppose
anyways im looking through my liveblog tag and remembering a lot of the lines that blue said to red and I... NeED to play this again
I told ambi but I'll tell plurk too I was chill until like, exactly six seconds after the still of them sitting together came up, and then on the dot I completely lost my shit
it was strange and precise
i know EXACTLY what you mean
i fucking lost it through the entire end credits sequence tbh
yeah all the stills and the credits just made my eyes angrier
love my fave like I love my fave
the karaoke place here is a chromecast so you can play any song you want, so sometimes i saddle my friends with listening to me basically yowl my way through paper boats, trying not to cry the whole time
fucking paper boats...ruining my life
the last still is very important to me,,,
the image of them in the country,,,,,,,,,,
I yowl paper boats while I draw sometimes
HI'S THEY GIVE EACH OTHER
hey did you do the thing where like
so there's the picture of your, i guess it's the advertisement poster for your show or whatever
and you can just keep staring at it or turn away
and if you keep staring at it blue just sorta starts to beg you to let it go and keep going
I kept staring...........
and i just remember being like
i got the game and was playing it at the same time as a bunch of friends, live-blogging, and i remember all of us simultaneously getting very alarmed at how Hot the Sword was
IT ENDED UP BEING JUSTIFIED BUT FOR A WHILE WE WERE LIKE, UHHH
THE SWORD IS SO FUCKING HOT I HAVE NO SHAME
SWORD WAS FUCKING HOT THE MOMENT HE OPENED HIS STUPID SWORD MOUTH
bc he talks to you from the ps4 controller when you play console
and that was REALLY, A LOT
immediately tells my friend with a ps4 to get this game
that was one of my favorite features of the ps4 version
though i gotta warn you, supergiant... has framerate issues on ps4?
it literally ruined my experience of pyre
i made bad decisions in pyre and was upset at the ending, and i can't even replay to make better choices because my framerate made each rite actually painful to play
i think they patched pyre recently so idk if it helped at all...
i think there were issues with transistor also but it's half-turn based so i didn't notice as much
pros and cons................
sword voice... is worth it...
i don't really know logan cunningham does the things that he does with his voice but i am not going to complain about it
can I just get a track of drunk sword boy to listen to when I am down
“that’s my star. always could handle yourself well. i love you so much, red. you know that, right?”
this was the line that killed me
I'd carry around a sword the size of my body if it loved me like he could
that and ofc "i look up to the sky where the stars should be, and I just see you"
when he said that i remember my soul exiting my body
barfs my soul out of my body
THIS PLURK IS JUST MAKING ME SMADDER
> I’m going to find the thing that’s doing this and I’m going to break its heart.
when red was talking to blue thru the terminal...
I was almost over it and I scrolled past this and got smad again
this pain will always be with you
no please insult royce as much as possible, he deserves it
ugh angrily sweats and puts this WIP here too I'm in so deep
