    Played a chunk of this tonight. Really good fun. Honestly my number one feature request would be a 'random' option for custom soundtrack selections. I just want a bunch of variety.

    It seems like it needs to spend some time analyzing the song before it can be used in the game. It probably can't do that on the fly.

    Random soundtrack would still be awesome.

    Well yeah, but you could just have an option to process all the stuff in your custom songs folder per game.

    Twice now in Hardcore I've gotten down to 3-3 and died there. Many, many more are the times where I have died to stupid things before getting that far, like the time I had Obsidian Armor and Shovel, Heal spell, a turkey leg and a titanium rapier yet died without using any of that healing to a black shield skeleton ><

    Finally beat 3-3 and the boss in Hardcore! Gold Rapier into Titanium Longsword, Titanium Shovel, Plate Mail and a Ring of Peace. Phew!

    This game is crazy fun. Especially when the replays break in half

    I didn't know we had a Necrodancer thread.

    This game is the shit. I'm flabbergasted by how good it is.

    Flabbergasted!

    It is a fucking crime that this thread petered out on page two. I AM REVIVING IT!

    Yeah I just had a pretty fantastic run that ended abruptly too. ALSO on 3-3, when 3 massive spawns of enemies formed coming from every possible direction at the start of the level. Just look at this bullshit. I'm not really going for score here so it's a bit low.

    I put my Necrodancing on hold for Chasming, and just recently for Rogue Legacying

    Have there been any significant updates to the dancepad control scheme since EA started?

    It's weird, and I am certain it may just be me, but I found it very hard to stay on beat due to the fact that holding down a direction kept me moving in that direction.

    As an mediocre DDR player, if I had to hit a note on the right, I would step to the right. Then, if the next beat was a left, I would keep my foot on right and move my other foot to the left input. This kept me on beat without having to return to center every time between beats.

    In Necrodancer, for the inputs to be accepted, that sequence wouldn't work. I would have to return to center between beats.

    Again, I very well might be doing it wrong, I don't know.

    Has anybody finished a hardcore run and then watched their replay?

    I just finished the entire run and elected to watch my replay so I could get some idea what kinds of things I'm missing wrong or could be doing differently.

    And on my replay, I died in 3-2, right after picking up a war drum. I finished this run. I did not die. So why did I die in the replay?

    I don't get it.

    I think maybe using the war drum screws up replays.

  • DirtyDirtyVagrantDirtyDirtyVagrant Registered User regular
    Yeah. That's true. And I can see that they're working on it. Still, I'm curious how it got so out of sync like that.

    It was a line from a creepypasta about a haunted video game.

    And my guess about the de-sync from actual events is that they probably forgot to record or replay certain inputs.

    I just pounded on a shop wall for like 20 beats...and I'm watching this like...wait a minute...did I really do that?

    Is this the movie "Occulus?"

    Is it out on one of the consoles? I swear I saw it on one of the stores.

    If it is, then probably PS4

    I'm finding area 4 easier than 3. Those shrinking panels are annoying, but nowhere near as bad as the ice/fire ones could be.

    I'm still just completely stuck on zone 3. Most of the time I cant even get past floor 1. I have just zero ability to do this zone.

    It took me so long to get past Zone 3 for the first time. I don't even know why, really. I don't think there's any one enemy that gave me trouble. I just always crapped out there for some reason.

    I just noticed the new First 15 is Crypt of the Necrodancer! Please god let them have fun with it, this game needs more attention.

    Edit: Heh, Mike didn't like it because he has no rhythm, but Jerry seemed into it. I'll take it!

    Finally, after on and off casually playing the game I hunkered down and got past Cadence's story and started on Melody's side of the game. Felt good to finally break through the frantic pace of Zone 4 and the bosses.

    Also, surprised to see that this has not yet been posted:

    I'd be more annoyed that it's PC only if I wasn't sure it's going to be a loooong time before I even beat the game proper on PS4. Hopefully it's out on PSN by the time I do manage to finish the main game.

    I got to Aria's story and hit the skill great wall of china. Not going to be able to headbutt my way through it.

    It's damn frustrating, but it actually gets easier as you get further in, since you get more to work with, item wise.
