No Straight Roads thread

Haven't seen much, if any discussion about this game in Zig Forums, so I felt like making a thread for it to see what everyone thinks. Up-and-coming rhythm/action game with a pretty fucking good soundtrack.

Love the style of the game, it kinda reminds me of Psychonauts, and the gameplay looks like a lot of fun. The music is great too. Hopefully, once the game releases, there'll be more to discuss.

well, if there's anything Zig Forums can forcibly wring discussion out of, it's cute girls. so there's that

but hey, there's still shit to talk about. for example: i feel like the game could be going harder on the rhythm game elements, but i can see how that'd be difficult to pull off without making the gameplay completely different

True. I remember there being quite a bit of Sayu posters a while back, so I have a feeling she'll be Zig Forums's main waifu once the game comes out.

The rhythm game elements seem pretty good from what I've seen so far, but I know what you mean. I think the developers changed some things about it from the previous trailers/demos. Personally, I wanna see more of the character's interactions, especially with the various NSR bosses. I like the chemistry between Zuke and Mayday. They're pretty chill together.

Stop shilling your game seanigger

It look shallow as shit probably only carried by the quirky aesthetic and the music.

>They're pretty chill together.
There seems to be some tension between them. I like that scene where Zuke asks Mayday how some guy got her number and awkward silence follows afterwards.

>video game discussion on MY Zig Forums? Not on my watch!
Fuck off

More like No Straight Guys and it's about you and the devs of that game

right, i forgot, we don't talk about video games here

she's basic, but i wouldn't even be mad. her theme kicks ass and so does her phase 3 design. as far as gameplay goes, as long as they can polish the rhythm mechanics that the game DOES have and make some fun boss fights that go well with the music, i'm satisfied. so far, DJ SS seems to be the best in that regard

dude can't a game just be fun without needing super technical high level combo strings or whatever the fuck

After playing the demo, I find Zuke to be quite boring. Hope the final game spices things up for him.

Why shouldn't I expect the game to be at least more engaging than what's currently shown? It's not only a rhythm game but also a pseudo "bossrush", two genres that are at their best when the player can fully flaunt their mechanical skill.

Also where the fuck is the japanese version for sayu's song.

look, i won't even say you're wrong for wanting that, but i still don't see anything wrong with the game not being "deep". so what if it wants to flaunt it's style and focus on varied gameplay? besides, from what i've seen, the higher difficulty settings actually do ramp up the challenge considerably.

>Also where the fuck is the japanese version for sayu's song.
sadly i don't have a fuckin clue

Really? Did that scene happen in a recent trailer, or did I miss/forget something from the older ones? I hope the game doesn't try to force some weird romance shit between them. I feel like they work better as bros.
Holy shit, this is my first time seeing her phase 3 design, and I think I'm in love. I already liked her before but wew. I like her theme a lot as well, along with DJ SS and Eve's. I think those three will be the funniest bosses to fight in the game too.

Watch the full scene.

Mayday's tits are underrated

more like underdeveloped

Looks like leftyshit

Oh wow, that was awkward as fuck. Hopefully, it won't lead to forced romance bullshit down the line between them.
That's understandable. He seems like the typical laid back stoner/hippie type of dude that just wants to chill and have fun, which can get boring after a while. I hope he opens up some more and engages with the characters in a less deadpan manner.

Love the style and concepts, but the gameplay is pretty shallow, especially at full price

>the men in the English VO sound fine
>the women appear to all be mode of Malaysian wood
Mayday's voice has an odd "quirky" charm to it I suppose, but there's no denying the ladies are far from the best performers in the world. Honestly might just switch to Japanese (especially as the mermaid song has a different version there) or French as it would go with the Eurocomics visuals.

>especially at full price
Where are you from? In the UK, the game is half the price of other releases, with only the collector's edition being the "standard £60" because of the included LP.

i actually like mayday's accent flaring up from time to time
>"you think your music is SO good, lah issit?"

tatiana has a similar charm, but yeah. the voice acting isn't a major strong point for this game. still, it's earnest and i can appreciate that much. doesn't detract from the rest of the game IMO, but not everyone is gonna be able to tolerate it

Does that make it cheaper than £20 or not
