    People disliking it have no taste. It was one of the best things about Bastion.

    Rucks' voice sorta annoyed me at first, but it grew on me.

    I didn't know that some people disliked Rucks' narration. It's a little hard to fathom.

    Everything about his voice was awful. It sounded like he was talking through a mouthful of drool.

    What's that? His voice was awesome and it sounded like he was talking with the mouth of a gruff angel? I agree!

    Oh good, it's been a while since people ripped on my god damn opinions.

    Hey guess what? The game sucked too! LET ME HAVE IT

    In any case, I'm way excited for Transistor. It looks awesome. But, then, so did Bastion and that turned out to be The Game Not Made For Me.

    Considering how much you didn't like Bastion I'm kinda surprised you're hyped for what looks to be round two in a different setting with a more turn based combat.

    I'm still honestly more excited for the soundtrack than the game. Not that I don't want to play the game, just that I feel the soundtrack will be the best bit.

    Well, the art design is tits out awesome, same with Bastion. I hated the combat in Bastion because it was so messy but turn based would fix that right up.

    And I can mute the narrator. :3

    It's not my fault that your opinions spit in the face of the objective reality that Rucks' voice is godly.
    I'm just messing with you man. I can respect you opinion, in spite of how radically different it is from my own

    The funny thing is I sold four other people I know on the game because I kept stressting while I hated it more then church and learning, everyone else thought it was better then ball kisses. So they bought it and all of them loved it which absolutely chapped my ass like I don't even know.

    Bastion wouldn't have been as charming to me without the narrator. Obviously it's a love it or leave it kind of thing but I felt it gave the game a great vibe. Combined with the art style it was a truly interesting tone they created.

    I was on board with Bastion the first time I fell off the world.

    Doubly so when I started smashing everything.

    Narration makes everything better.

    When I'm rich, I'm going to have my entire life narrated.

    I've been waffling back and forth over which platform to buy the game on, but I think Jen Zee's art deserves to be on the biggest screen in my house.

    I wasn't that interested in Bastion (I still haven't played it yet) but I'll be buying this day one.

    It looks and sounds absolutely gorgeous. My soul needs this game.

    Thanks for the heads up. No point waiting for six 'o' clock if I don't have to.

    Gabe Newell now has my money and I've got it installing.

    I really need to finish Sleeping Dogs before getting into this, but I'm definitely going to give it a quick look tonight.

    I'm torn.

    If I buy Transistor on PS4, I can remote-play on my Vita.
    If I but Transistor on PC, it will be easier to mine sound files and take pretty screenshots so I can theme my phone.

    Both are hooked up to my 55" TV, and I have no hard preference between the DualShock4 or the 360 Wireless controllers.

    This is the hardest decision I will make today.

    You can. I think if you upload it they compress it down, but you can also save and extract it from your hard drive.

    The game is beautiful. Play it on the biggest screen you have, Houn.

    Doesn't seem to be working for me yet at least. Installed fine, but doesn't actually start up. Guess I have to wait a bit more.

    How do I access the soundtrack if I bought both?

  • Options

    The soundtrack files are downloaded somewhere into your steam directory: Steam\steamapps\common\Transistor\Soundtrack

    Play the game with the best speakers/headphones you have.

    To those who don't care for the narration gimmick, it's pretty narrator-y, but it's first person present tense rather than third person, and he's speaking directly to the main character instead of to the player, if that helps anything. It's also a more emotional/personal delivery.

    BTW, the whole soundtrack is up on YouTube already!

    It's ok so far. Maybe as I unlock more abilities it'll become more interesting but so far it's just pause time, queue up abilities, don't manage to kill everything because I suck at the game still, run around trying to avoid damage until my Turn() meter recharges, repeat.

    But this is just a little over an hour in. Game is pretty gorgeous though.

    I don't see why we wouldn't care, he's one of the most level-headed and consumer advocacy oriented people in the industry.

    I was gonna say that I hoped it had vocal tracks like in Bastion, but then I remembered that the main character is always pictured with a mic, so
