What went wrong?

Flavor of the month shitposting

We let it die.

f2p. no one takes f2p seriously

For me, Sony's dogshit servers. I tried for weeks to download it and it would never go past the halfway point. I don't even have bad internet and plenty of space on my HD to download it but I never could so I gave up.

F2P micro transactions and exsessive grinding for new gear

Too anime. Needed to be toned down for westies

>>378389782
pay2win is always trash no exception

>>378389782
Material grind is extremely long to make up fir the slow trickle of new content. Other than that, it's fun.

Game just doesn't have that much longevity. Everyone's either beaten it or seen what's at the end. LID threads were the best when no one knew jack shit about the game, AKA about a week within launch.

Only 1% of the player base actually beat the final boss.

Post yfw you're part of the 1%.

>Can easily cheeze the final boss with invuln and slow shrooms

Using shrooms for bosses felt so dirty that it didn't even feel like an accomplishment when I beat the last boss.

>>378390271
I'll feel bad about wrecking bosses with transparungus, crushroom, stingshroom, and staminungus when it doesn't cost a fortune to retrieve characters from the upper floors.

Did they ever add more content? Or did they... let it die?

>>378390806
This probably would've survived if it was on mobile.

Memechettes, Combt Memes

The licensed music was the best thing I got out of the game. Too bad compiling all of them into an album would be a copyright mess, and the /vg/ general didn't get all the tracks.

I enjoyed it while it was the hottest new meme, but eventually got bored of it from the super long loading times, the unavoidable raids, and how playing it required me to make sure I could sit down for 1-2 uninterrupted hours without having that much fun in return.

The farming in addition to how anti-fun it is to fight sabre haters is an easy way to kill the game. It has worse punishment than Dark Souls, Monster Hunter, and Ninja Gaiden combined. You died? Either pay a whopping twenty gorrillion kill coins or go and fight through hordes of enemies to fight your hater and lose all their gained items/equipment.

i'd have gladly payed 30 bucks if they stripped out the cash shit and rebalanced everything so it didn't become grind city, maybe fleshing out the multiplayer more instead

>>378394092
Funny, because the game was gonna be like that before they turned it into F2P.

It would be interesting to know why they changed it like that.

>Green metal
>Not black Metal

I know the fucking layout of Kawabe like the back of my hand because of that FUCKING GRIND. Needed to upgrade more than 10 different weapons/armor that needed that shit and each level they required one more metal than the last up to a max of 3 or so. That's fucking ludicrous.

First 10 to 12 floors are pretty great. You are learning things, unlocking new weapons, fighting and struggling to survive

Then you reach the late 20s and you realize how insane the grind is. Everything hits to fucking hard and takes almost no damage so you need to grind materials to survive while running the risk of losing everything because one wrong move and you are done. Done grinding for the current section? Restart the grind because your gear is now also obsolete

It's the perfect F2P trap. Your base gets wrecked, so you invade someone else to get cash back. Their base is wrecked, so they invade someone else. Repeat that until someone finally breaks and instead of invading, say "fuck it" and spend their cash

The feel of the game is amazing and I love the theme. The gameplay isn't bad but it's not stellar either. It was killed by F2P mechanics

>tfw just got a PS4

You still have to grind for reliable weapons once you hit the new +10 floors because their damage, HP, and defenses spike.

Someone who hasn't made it past floor 20 detected.

You never have to grind for weapons due to how armor durability works you dumbass

use expeditions, they will win the game for you on autopilot. they bring gear better than anything you can make usually and tons and tons of consumables. the only thing i ever actively upgraded was the Red Hot Iron which takes no grind to do and is incredibly strong

reached and beat Taro in ~25 hours. then started doing grinding for fun to upgrade shit

>>378396469
>they bring gear better than anything you can make usually

I'm sorry, I meant someone who hasn't even played the game detected.

It would be an incredible game if it wasn't F2P and wasn't designed with microtransactions in mind.

The post 30 grind is stupid. The jackal gear grind is fucking ridiculous. The base invasions in particular is the worst part of the game by far.

>>378396976
want a screenshot, retard?
expeditions at each set of levels bring back more than you could ever need.

free machetes and rifles, then axes, then sabers katanas and motorpsychos. use those and bring along some red hot irons (even base level ones) and you're nearly unstoppable

>>378396429
Yeah, some tracks are really shitty, but it let me listen to songs and groups that I would have never known otherwise.

I normally don't listen to that kind of music, so listening to the OST on repeat while the game was all the rage and I was hooked on it, made for a really unique and fun experience.

>>378394527
Lack of funds probably.

>People crying about Death Skulls costing money

They're literally at most 50 cents per. Have none of you kiddies never played an arcade game in your life? Boo hoo, a hard game makes you pay for continues, waaah.

>>378397452
>using continues

>>378390271
then why did you do it? you autists always act like once a cheese strat is found that there is no longer any other option and the game is irreparably ruined as a result.

>>378397452
Literally no one in this thread complained about that.

>>378397452
>Have none of you kiddies never played an arcade game in your life?

We never continued, faggot. And the thing about arcade games is that they aren't grindy as fuck.

>>378397537
I mean I guess literally nobody is if you somehow choose to interpret all this pay2win crying as somehow not referring to Death Skulls.

>That near endless combo that haters can pull off on you and remain at a safe distance while draining your health
>Are going to often keep their distance from you and attack one at a time and waste either your time, durability, and/or everything else if they manage to kill you

I automatically assume the absolute worse when I raid and I'm instantly met with a hater with two sabres.

same problem I have with every f2p game
>oh wow this is really fun
>wish I could just buy it instead of spending money on something that only lasts for a limited period of time
>welp I'm done playing this now

they are designed to not be played long. They're are basically designed to be cash cows for a month and then die off.

use the Iron's parry
makes everything in the game trivial

>>378397848
>I haven't played an arcade game in my life, and I have no idea what grind means

>>378397763
You realize DC is used for more than just providing continues for your video game inept ass, right?

You're able to completely do away with timers on upgrades and re-purchases with them. So while others are playing for free and waiting minutes and possibly hours for their items to upgrade or be available for purchase, someone with money can just pay for the fucking coins and get a faster boost than them.
It's literally P2W.

>>378397881
Only works in 1v1 with haters, good luck raiding with that. Once you parry the first one the other will instantly start wailing on you.

>>378397935

You are a fucking idiot.

>>378398045
oh yeah i forgot they made it so multiple defenders come at once now. haven't played in a while

iron's rage move can still make it easy if you slap the King of Wolves decal or whatever it's called

>>378398050
Most of them. The games don't have paywalls, retard. If you die often, it means you are at a stage in the game where you are literally TOO SHIT TO CONTINUE.

Only a fucking imbecile like yourself would keep feeding the game quarters at that stage. So it would be way better to simply start the game from the very beginning and get better to the point where you can reach your point of death quicker and surpass that stage.

>>378398224
Bruh I get you're trolling but you're not supposed to make yourself mad in the process.

>>378389782
paywalls. :( I loved the aesthetic and uncle death, and (to some extent) the gameplay. but goddamn that paywall hit like a train.

>>378398224
>feeding quarters =/= grinding you moron.
Except the part where it doesn't.

Grinding refers the act of doing some mindless repetitive task just to gain some small advantage or boost to help you in the game. Most notable in the MMO genre where you grind by hunting some easy to kill mob that gives you decent EXP for hours on end just to level up and most likely repeat the process.

What in the fuck are YOU talking about?

>>378398428
Are you responding to the right post?

>>378398361
If you're such a hardcore l33t gamer that you don't need more than a dollar to beat every arcade game on the planet then why are you having a cry about Death Skulls, none of which you need to purchase to begin with to play through and beat the entirety of Let It Die

There's a reason why arcades are dead nowadays.

I got bored 10 floors up. Going through the same environments fighting the same dumb shit enemies with only a few options at hand is really tedious.

Grinding for metals to make anything good.
Having to pay to use the elevator did not help. Thankfully I finished the game while I still had free premium passes, so I didn't have to grind for money as well.

Also, once you got a steady source of transparaungus (read: had a full freezer of dudes to send out on expeditions), the bosses became trivially easy, especially when combo'd with that shroom that makes you hit like a freight train.

Amazing music, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATjoeAWP7bw

You're the representation of everyone on the fucking planet that doesn't understand something and throws out their piss poor comprehension of something like it's genuine insight.

And I'm not even mad at you, I'm just mad at the ignorance in general. I mean you do disgust me horribly because you're one of those awful people, and you will never understand and cover it up with the fact that you are "trolling". when really you're just an autist throwing shit on the wall and laughing how people get upset.
