not really, no

The story, characters, visuals and soundtrack are great, as expected.
The Quidditch gameplay is really bad and feels like a huge chore.

>>385219071
Judging by the last thread I seem to be the only one on /v/ that's liking it

The fantasy basketball "combat" system is tedious. Easily SuperGiant's worst game. I wouldn't call it bad, though.

>>385219071
I like it I'm having fun

the presentation is 10/10 but I can't help but see this game as nothing more than a super glorified basketball game

i swear it's good, please buy it

>>385219407
this desu

They dropped the ball really hard with this one, the gameplay is about as deep as a puddle and it holds back all the depth put into just about every other aspect of the game. This is the same problem I had with gravity daze, the gameplay is basically superman 64 but the production values put into everything else is fucking amazing.

>>385219071

fucking wasted trash

>>385219543
god no, this is worse than transistor

Without the settings and the art it would be very hard yo like this game.
70% narration, 30% gameplay.

I've reached the first significant milestone without losing or even getting close to lose even once.

I'd wait for a sale if I were you. Not a bad game, but definitely the least appealing out of the ones released by supergiant.

>>385219071
The writing is 3/10
visuals are 9/10
some good sounds

Gameplay is super shallow, it's just 2 minutes of tedious football with no depth and back to text

By far their worst game.
I don't know what retard thought making that gameplay after making 2 actions RPGs was a good idea.
Really disappointing because everything else is great.

New doesn't mean good. Seeing your fat ass get out of the basement and out into public would be new but no one wants that.

Yeah, skip this one.

I like it. The gameplay isn't as bad as /v/ makes it out but it's definitely not what you play the game for. The visuals alone are worth it.

Just opinions m8. Story of bastion is really good and something can be said about the virtue of being a straitforward story compared to Transistor's minimal style. The world of Bastion is definitely not better than Transistor, it's just random assets and colors thrown together, the "Calamity" is just a hand-wave for the lack of any real cohesion. While Transistor has a much better direction and composed world, it doesnt jsut feel like its just random shit, tehre is a clear vision and it is achieved wonderfully.
From what I've seen, Pyre won't be as good as Transistor in that department.
>great combat
Thi9s is the bigger issue, Bastion's combat feels really shitty. Transistor's pseudo Active Time Battle Style is much better fit to the rather jank gameplay engine of these Supergiant games and I just find it to be a much more interesting system and Bastions extremely shallow hack and slash style.

you don't need a reason to dislike something

often times it's difficult to put into words exactly why you dislike a game's mechanics. The reasons can be subtle and it's often a mishmash of many reasons. Especially for a weird as fuck game as Pyre, there's no prior games in the genre to help establish a foothold; it's difficult to pinpoint exactly why all the new, strange mechanics don't mesh with you. The best description of the combat I can give is that it's tedious, repetitive, and unfun.

If it's not fun, why play?

The counterpoint is, of course, that all the people who claim to like the combat also haven't given any reasons why they like it, and they don't need to either.

It's easy to pick apart a game in an established genre. For RPG games like Dragon age or MEA, or fighting games like Tekken or SF, there's a solid foundation of mechanics already set that you can compare new games to.

Not true of Pyre. There's no precedent in the genre, and thus it's difficult to pinpoint exactly what mechanics you dislike.

For that matter, it'll be difficult to say why you DID like the combat. Give all the specific reasons why you like playing the rites.

Saying "it's not fun" is enough. Do you think people are lying when they say they don't like Pyre? Do you think you telling people "LOL NO REASONS" will magically convince them to like the game?

Not falling for this classic technique. The game isn't fun. Why would I waste more of my time playing it if I'm not having fun with it? I'm having much more fun criticizing it over here on /v/ and watching your butthurt ass come to its rescue.

>>385220538
It's been a while since I've played it, but I didn't like the combat much at all. Maybe I was doing it wrong, but all it seemed to amount to was spamming your best skills all at once and then waiting till you could use them again and hope the enemies don't kill you. It just felt repetitive and rote. Mind you, it's been even longer since I've played Bastion so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a lot wrong with it that I just don't remember. Neither story really did much for me, but I did like the music.

bastion is based on mechanical aiming skill which is why babies say transistor is better. /v/ largely hates games that require mechanical skills because /v/ has genetic disorders and cannot operate their hands correctly, hence the love for shit like disgaea

>>385220538
Transistors world is horrible under explored which just makes the story flop even if you do read all the side stuff. Bastion was like a history lesson where you find stuff out from all other the place, Transistor was weird snippets of a poorly explained world which felt like a load of neat ideas crammed together rather than something cohesive. Also wise old guy > boyfriend who never had anything interesting to say.

The combat has neat ideas but is hampered by bad design. You are only allowed a small amount of options at a time, if you want to experiment you can only change at certain points but if you die you loose an option. This discourages experimentation, how much you enjoyed the game hinged on if you lucked out on a good load out. Plus fighting the same enemies frequently especially at the end where it is the same few like 10 times is a bit lame. Bastion was simply and effective, the punishment for a bad load out was it wasn't very effective.

It's a good game, but people are totally justified in not enjoying it. You don't need to make up reasons why they didn't have fun with it. The gameplay isn't for everyone, and there is a much deeper narrative focus than there is in any of their other games.
The sportsball is fun for me, but It could be annoying and stupid for someone else. None of these things are objective things you have to enjoy about games. Stop being so fucking autistic. For me, it's their best game yet. All their games have missteps, but in this one i find the story, atmosphere and characters to be head and shoulders above anything they've done before. If someone was expecting to to just be Transister or Bastion 2.0 then they'd be really disappointed.

I wholeheartedly agree, but 50% of this thread are people just dismissing the game for being a sports game and the rest is people going full retard and deflecting criticism. The gameplay definitely isn't all that fun at all, it's way too watered down and simple to stand up on its own as sports game. I just wish they added more depth to it like stealing the ball, or making it so you can control more than one character at once, or just anything else really. It's way too fucking barebones.

>>385222353
none of those criticisms have any depth to them. It's as meaningful as "it's boring" and "it's unfun"

>it's got that insane amount of depth to explore with different classes
I found the customization to be incredibly shallow and barebones

>Different goal than just "hit the people" keeps it from being the same thing as Bastion or Transistor
literally your entire goal is to get the ball in the goal.

>Defending with the demon is super satisfying
>Shootouts with the abilities get very intense
"super satisfying" and "very intense" are not reasons. They're descriptor words like "unfun" and "boring"

etc. etc. you see where I'm going

>>385222886
Yes but unironically.

You're literally too fucking stupid for anything Supergiant but Bastion. Congratulations anon. I'm sure you'll come up with some way to rationalize your terrible tastes. And that it's the nasty developers fault you can't handle a combat system with 3 characters.

What was great about their games is that they had familiar gameplay mechanics, but did interesting things with the story and narration. Now it's a huge focus on story that interrupts the gameplay, the exact opposite of what the company has been about. As much as I liked their stories, I played Bastion and Transistor for the gameplay, and was satisfied.

>>385223139
But the gameplay is fine.

Transistor was getting this exact same shit

>>385222895
Him being a babby aside, the gameplay is completely lacking in depth and fails even as a sports game. The mechanics are underdeveloped, and there's just not enough you can do in the average game Magic NBA Jam to keep things interesting for its 20 hour long campaign. I really wanted this shit to be good, since I liked just about every other aspect of the game, but the core gameplay sucks ass through a straw.

>inb4 you're not playing it right pick a higher difficulty
I already did that, and it doesn't make the game any more interesting even as someone who can enjoy a game of NBA Street every now and then.

Question: do you idiots also go into every single game's thread that you do not like?

I seriously cannot comprehend this. You can see what the gameplay is about just by looking at a trailer. If you do not like this sort of gameplay, why even borther playing and/or posting in this thread? There are hundreds of other games from genres that you don't like.


If there would be a SINGLE post about "I felt the controls were not responsive enough" or "I do not see any gameplay mechanic progression" it would be a fucking miracle at this point.

That's great but when you can actually go and look at the customization anybody would know you're full of shit. A demon specced down one talent tree or the other is going to play entirely different from the other. And you can mix and mash the trees.
>literally your entire goal is to get the ball in the goal.
Literally your entire goal of bastion and transistor was hit people
>"super satisfying" and "very intense" are not reasons.
Defending is fun and rewarding, especially with the demon because her moveset is specifically made for that.
Shootouts are exactly intense because if you lose it's almost a guaranteed score on you if you fail it and it's all mostly one shot kills

That isn't unfair, but Bastion actually explains stuff better. Like you will be told we are going to X to find shit, you go there and get narrated a little backstory of a world you can understand pretty quickly. I never felt like I left a place and hadn't been given a good explanation of what it was. Even the general reasons why the world is fucked gets explained early.

Transistor has lots of little odd things that never really get explained, some in side material but not really all that deep. You don't really find out much as you wander around, sword boyfriend is no help in that regard he just names places and goes yeah we ate here once we gonna get it back. It is also a bit directionless, you are just stuck on a path that happens to lead to the bad guys that you don't really care about.

>>385222109
Anon, the rites never fundamentally change.

>>385223498
Off the top of my head, I would've favoured for more things for the characters to do when they're not being used on the field like active/passive effects that could've made things a bit more interesting, or the ability to steal the ball when jumping over enemies to add a bit more chaotic flare to how the fights would go. As far as things have gone in the 4 hours I've played, the NBA Jam segments aren't really all that engaging. I also thought the character customization was a bit lacking and left a lot to be desired.

>m-muh reasons

You don't need reasons to dislike something, and especially for a new game in a new genre, it's difficult to exactly why you dislike the strange mechanics. But since you chucklefucks are autistically trying to defend your game, here are my reasons for why I dislike Pyre:

(I played 4-5 hours, finished 2 cycles and just started on my 3rd, got the witch)

>team-based combat but only one character can move at once
I found the two principles to be contradictory and unfulfilling. Moving only 1 character in a team-based game is silly. You can't do clutch plays like having two characters running along the field, passing the ball to each other. Team-based games are all about multiple moving parts to add up to a greater sum. When you're controlling one character, the other two just sit there. When I'm controlling Rukey/Gilman and just speeding over the enemies, I didn't think it was a fulfilling team-based experience, I though my other allies were useless.

>awkward controls
Played on KB+M, some say controller is better but I've read people having problems with the controller too. Point-and-click is just awkward for this kind of time. There were several points where my character didn't go where I wanted to go, heading a few inches short of the enemy pyre and shit like that. Switching characters is difficult; instead of space presses, it'll be much more intuitive to just be able to scroll through your characters.

>repetitive
It's just the same thing over and over. I didn't come up with any new strategies. Banish some enemies or split them up, then use my fast guys to speed over and score the goal was how I scored 90% of my points. It might be worth pointing out I found quick characters to be OP in this mode, the easiest way by far to score was to speed around dunking on pyres. The changing battlefields were nowhere near enough to stem the repetition.

(too long, cont)

>>385223501
>I beat every stage up to getting the boatcart by literally just passing to doggo

What are you gonna do when you lose the doggo then?

>>385224024
You can use the 2 not in use to your advantage it takes some time to get used to 3 player maneuvers.
>Run into enemy while you have the ball
>Pass the ball
>As your character slides to stop their aura slams into the enemies and downs them
>Pass back and go for the goal
Shit like that

>>385224154
>(too long, cont)

please don't

>but it gets better in 2 more hours!

synonyms: basically, elementally, radically; More

>Tiny arena
They very quickly grow in size. There's a bunch of different arenas and they get much wider
>rounds over too fast, grab the ball, jump once and already at the goal, no time for tactical positioning, pass play etc.
Increase the difficulty if you haven't. And there's a lot of reasons that grab ball with speedy gonzales and running it in every time won't work for the entire game
>After the first right enemies started jumping to block airborne players with the ball and knocking it out of their hands
>You have to send your speedy fuckers back eventually because only characters with experience enough to be enlightened can be sent out of the downside

>>385224579
Which isn't a problem it the gameplay in ejoyable from the get go.

>>385224579
Yeah, but Bastion is fun, Pyre is not

>>385224154
>AI cheats and is inconsistent
on Hard, at least. They pull off shit beyond human ken. I've seen AIs switch the ball 4 times between their characters in the span of a second. Fast characters can blitzkrieg past your entire team, jump over your defender, and dunk on the pyre within seconds. The AI is also inconsistent. Sometimes they plod along the battlefield and get killed by my aura casts. Other times they're gods of dodging. Sometimes the fast guy with the ball dodges my lineup like it was swiss cheese; other times he suicides head-first into my Jodi.

>no sense of progression with combat
My biggest problem with the combat is I never felt any sense of achievement from winning. I started on normal mode, then bumped it up to hard for the last bit of the first cycle. On Hard I actually began to lose a few games, but even when I won, I didn't feel a sense of accomplishment. I can't tell you why I won. I didn't feel I like I played better than the AI or outsmarted the AI. I didn't feel any sense of progression.

>oregon trail
My main point is about the combat so I'll keep this short: I didn't like the oregon trail sections. For a board that hates Telltale games and walking simulators, I'm amazed people like the sheer amount of non-gameplay present. 75% of the game is oregon trail visual novel simulator.

Anyway, those are my reasons why I dislike Pyre. I enjoyed Bastion and LOVED transistor. 4-5 hours in and I'm ready to drop it.

I'm about an hour in and enjoying the game so far, but this REALLY feels like Supergiant wanted to make a multiplayer game more than anything.

I can't see the AI ever really succeeding, it's just too easy to sprint-pass-sprint-pass-dunk.
I get the feeling the story is more of just an extended tutorial for the multiplayer and they added the whole management aspect to give it some more meat.

Presentation is great as always and I love that they're going in a really different direction, but I dunno, as someone who's not really into multiplayer games that much, I feel like I'm the wrong audience.
Or like Supergiant is letting their love for beautiful single player campaigns get in the way of just making a niche multiplayer sports game.

Smaller the arena size = the more tactical positioning and maneuvering becomes, as there is less opportunity to flee from engagements.

As for your second point, your strat only works for the first three fights. Once you've completed the tutorial section, you start facing enemies that can knock the orb out of a jumping cur's hands.

Can I just not let anyone go free by intentionally losing the liberation match every time? Also the gameplay is starting to grate on me and I just reached the second liberation (I let the bird go in the first one).

>>385228883
Yes and there were theories in these threads before the shitposters arrived guessing that it might be how you get a special ending or best ending. I say go for it because I want to know what will happen.

>>385225526
>I can't see the AI ever really succeeding
The AI starts to get kind of bullshit and begins to pull off split second passes, dodges, and blocks that no human could ever possibly make.

>>385225332
This was just an analogy on how quickly each single round is over, not that it's my only appraoch.

>>385228883
I imagine you could but then the Plan would fail and the Commonwealth wouldn't be overthrown, so you'd get the bad ending

>>385229557
Is there a set timer for the Plan? Like it has to go off X liberations in?

Not that I care really, The Plan is retarded

>>385226079
This.
They tried super hard to be a special snowflake after Bastion and failed. Bastion despite beign basic as fuck still has the best gameplay out of the three games.

I finished my first playthrough last night. Thoroughly enjoyed the game but I'm a sucker for world building and character designs so I would like it even if the game play was awful. I actauallu found the sports sections pretty fun, especially if you rotate the characters since the mechanics are different enough that it stays varied. Overall I would say that if you like the Supergiant style of game then you will probably like this one.

The ending song changing with who you liberate was a really nice touch, along with the ending screen that tells you what happened to each of the characters. I just hope the minstrels found happiness together

>>385229807
I think there are 7 liberation rites in total? I've only done one playthrough so far though so it might vary

>>385226195
Too many characters with weird names you never met.
The charm of Bastion was that you were intimate with it's few characters and the were few others.

Bird slut is busted.

>>385230158
It's basically something extra that Bastion didn't have. The party interactions take the place of bringing items to Zulf Zia and Rucks, not the book of rites.

It'd be like if Bastion had a bunch of side reading that you could do on their pantheon.

>>385230058
She usually updates with new dialogue after rites or significant plot events. I tried to talk to her a bunch and I got a really nice scene with her near the end of the game so just check back often.

I really like how the characters speak the made up language, they way they all have sort of distinct ways of doing it, but how I've managed to pick out several words and their meaning, like "Legeratus" being Reader since they're consistent.

>>385230512
That was such a cool moment. My understanding was that he was deliberately speaking in English to prove to you that he is a reader because you need to speak English to read. Literacy is prohibited in the commonwealth so there are no books written in that language, only books in English like the one for the rites. He still thinks primarily in the Commonwealth language so that's what his other thought sections are in.

>>385230879
Huh?

Is the soundtrack at least good?

Just finished it, was really great. Soundtrack was severely lacking vocals though apart from like 3 songs

Fucking harpies cheating on the liberation rite. That's why you can't trust monster girls.

>>385231248
Of course. Its redeeming feature, as expected.

>>385230968
We've been through 1000 posts of Pyre shitposting an there hasn't been a single coherent argument against Pyre's gameplay yet.
It's been entirely "sports game reeeee" and "it's different reeeeee" shitters. And people with little patience saying the first rites of the game were easy and had no depth so the whole combat system was shit.

>>385230893
I was worried initially since Supergiant games have always had as good VA work, and I thought they might be wasting it on gibberish. It actually worked really well though and I liked that you could start to pick up words as the story went on. Also Logan Cunningham did incredible as always during the rites.

>>385231248
It's a soundtrack by Darren Korb with tracks featuring Ashley Barrett. What do you think?

>>385221230
>claiming that their ability to not enjoy a good combat system falls on the game and not on them
welcome to the internet

welcome to fucking video game discussion

>>385231395
I seriously had to check that it indeed was Logan. He sounded more identifiably like himself in the trailer, but I honestly was so thrown off by his range in the game that despite knowing he should be voicing something in the game I questioned whether he actually did.

>>385231338
i liked the lack of vocals, instrumental tracks were great and when you heard some singing you knew shit was going down

>>385231389
Are you the same guy that has been saying this multiple times and ignoring all the arguments presented against the game?

>>385231518
The Minstrel(s) being woven into the soundtrack as part of the liberation rite was pretty cool.

>>385231389
It doesn't matter how easy or hard it is if it's unsatisfying or boring to play.

That was so hyped during the first liberation rite. Also the couple times the minstrel offered to play a song while riding across the map was super comfy. More vocal tracks would have been nice but I don't feel like the game didn't have enough.

Just play Banner Saga, it's literally the same game but tactical RPG instead of walking around with a ball

>>385231912
You pick gathering and get a pick of several locations hinting at what exactly you find there, and you only get to pick one.

Some of them are literally just potions that give enlightenment in the exact same way that Mentoring would have.

Also Study seems like an all-or-nothing kinda deal, as the other stat boni are pretty low compared to talismans, but you need to get all of them to up Glory, which is pretty good.

All these "muh shallow combat" people sound like they just decided the combat wouldn't get any deeper and stopped, without bothering to see if it was actually true.

Enemy triumvirates literally start being purpose-built around various talismans and masteries to fuck you up with specific strategies, and not just mono-racial teams where everyone is the same, either.

>>385232156
I just did my second liberation and I think the gameplay is pretty shallow, devoid of challenge and plain boring even with every star challenge active. The most fun part of it is controlling the Suezo knight but from where I stand it's more of a chore I have to go through to get to the good stuff like character interactions given that pretty much every character looks and is interesting.

I might just kill off any future want of replaying the game with different choices despite everything else being pretty good to great (even if the OST so far is worse than their previous games while still not bad).

This entire post is just demonstrating a lack of understanding of the combat system, two player approaches happen and are probably the best thing you can do in the game. Passing the ball is an absolute must because it allows your man in the front to get his aura back.
You can do things like sprint into somebody, bass the ball, and have your aura collide into them as your character stops
>awkward controls
>Played on KB+M, some say controller is better but I've read people having problems with the controller too
"I've tried nothing, and I'm all out of ideas!"
Nobody is saying that about the controller in these threads either.
>Point-and-click is just awkward for this kind of time.
Literally what did he mean by this.
>repetitive
You literally admit to sticking with the same characters and trying the same tired strategies over and over.
>The new arenas and situational things like the vines or the doggo praying don't count because I say so
This is a garbage post. It's just longer than a normal garbage post.

And then there's the other post

>AI cheats!
Literally just some retard admitting how bad at the game he is. Fast characters CAN Blitzkrieg past your entire team because of course they can you can do that too. That's why you keep a defender on the pyre ready to jump into them.
It's not anybodies fault but yours that you can't handle game mechanics. Although I'll agree to the inconsistency in the AI. They do sometimes feel like they've gone up or down a setting.
>No sense of progression in the combat
>People are leveling up, getting better talents, items and becoming significantly stronger and play different than they were at the start
Nope totally no progression to be seen. Fucking kek.
>Oregon Trail is a visual novel
Literally worthless buzzwordbabble

I feel like the game wants me to feel bad for the True Nightwing guy, but he's such an unfathomable cunt to people who had nothing to do with his downfall that I can't really feel sympathy for him.

What's the best team to pick? Right now I've stuck to using Bae and doggo, but I'm not really sure who to pick as my third choice

>>385232646
So? What would that accomplish? I have yet to lose a match but even in the rites when I came close to losing its not like the gameplay got more compelling or fun.

But sure I will play on hard for the next couple of rites but I don't think anything will change.

>>385232449
I thought that was a joke but holy shit the game's difficulty just went up like a fucking brick wall.

Holy hell, the narrator's still Logan? I was thinking he didn't return and was kinda sad that he didn't seem to voice anything in Pyre, but felt the narrator they chose did his job really well. Bless this man and his amazing VA talents.
