Spelunky 2 Thread because fuck you

>they removed the female damsel
are you fucking serious? I was actually thinking about buying this but oh well

>jump on mole
>take damage
>jump on hedgehog thing
>take damage
>whip at bat
>somehow get hit while whip doesn’t connect

These hitboxes are absolute garbage

She's an unlockable character now instead. Monty's the best damsel anyway
You can use a seed if you want to practice
Absolutely. If you go straight into Spelunky 2 you will get fucked in the first area. This was designed for people who could beat Yama in Spelunky 1

OH SO WE'RE OBJECTIFYING ANIMALS NOW? I SEE HOW IT IS. I'M SO ABOUT TO WRITE AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS.

I don't know if they changed her design at all, but she is now playable for what it is worth. Americans are more accepting of a little girl being impaled by spikes with blood coming out or eaten by monsters than they are her receiving a kiss from an adult male or female that isn't her parents.

>came out two weeks ago on ps4 and today on pc
>threads are dead
what the fuck happened?

i'm pretty sure its because everyone just picked monty as the damsel regardless

I've seen two threads go to 500 posts today

i swear the part of the whip hitbox that goes above you is like 1/4th the size it was in 1 and it annoys me

kinda boring game desu
all this journo shilling for this trash lol

you wouldnt fuck cats and dogs bro? are you even a gamer in 2020?

the little girl fucks animals is what the dev is trying to convey. They're a family of degenerates.

So uh without spoiling what's the next section I need to do after picking up excailber with the crown?

Thought I would like this game but it's extremely hard. I might refund.

thanks

I usually love roguelites but I didn't get the appeal of the first one and don't get the appeal of this one either
Is there even some general progression at some point or do you always start over without gaining anything?

PC Chad here, got my first win after 6 hours. Anybody else beat it?

Loving the shit out of this game. Now it's time to go for the secret bosses, it's going to take a significantly longer time to accomplish this.

I'm in love! After grinding on and off on Spelunky HD for like 150 hours I finally get some fresh gameplay.
So far I'm having tons of fun. Avoiding watching gameplay these two weeks was hell, I was counting the days like a madman.
Sadly, the hitboxes seem a little harder than HD. Kind of like this I've jumped on enemies with instinct from my time on HD and I got hit.
Also, I died a few times to spike traps because I didn't reach a ledge in a long jump that would have been possible in HD.. Maybe we just need to get used to it.
My only real complaint is that I hate the new way the capes work.

Does this game feel like a proper sequel to you?
From the bit I've played so far, it feels more like a Spelunky 1.5 (or actually 1.75, cause the previous game was 1.5 already). Kinda disappointing that the first two areas are pretty much the ones from the previous game. They say it's set on the moon, but so far nothing but the intro at all makes it seem that way.

There's no men either so don't try and pretend to be a faggot. pug, cat, and gerbil are better.

The very first time you play this game you have access to exact same things as somebody with a 1000 hours.

That's the appeal of Spelunky. There's no grinding out items or levels, there's no unlocking a billion things to make the game piss easy. You just play the game as it is. It's lovely.

>Does this game feel like a proper sequel to you?
Yes. But it's still Spelunky. I don't know that the game would have improved if Derek set out to make sure every single area in the game was different from the last one, I like that we still have the staples ontop of a bunch of new shit.

>he can't play a game without progression grinding
LOL

Oh so it's not a roguelite at all, gotcha.

Where's the mom?
This. I was hoping for some really cool moon shit, but nope.

I don't get the Spelunky 1.5 complaints. What were you expecting? Did you want an entirely different game?

It definitely feels a bit wonky coming from HD. I hope I get used to it, but I'm not liking it much right now.

Spelunky 1.5

where the fuck is my online multiplayer.

I understand that getting a kiss from a strange older woman or man would have been weird, but now I just feel like a dick for sacrificing my dog

Christ, dude, I at the very least expected to not have mines and jungle being at the beginning of the game again.
At least colour the mines yellow to make it look like moon rock or whatever.

It's more akin to a Roguelike than a Roguelite, but with more platforming elements than gear elements.

>he doesn't know

Well the level progression is randomized, I don't know where you arbitrarily draw the line at roguelite but items from the item pool are randomized, level progression is randomized, enemies, etc.

you clearly have no understanding of what a roguelite is

Well done, bro. Farthest I've gone is dying in temple to those hot laser shooting cultists like an absolute idiot LMAO. Also, had the crown on that run. Tell me this, without spoiling too much: Was I far from getting to some cool shit?
By the way, I have to say the new robot is very cute!

>it doesn't work on my windows xp machine!
>i have a nasa supercomputer with integrated graphics and i only have 2 fps!
>my gamecube controller doesn't work properly!
I don't understand Zig Forums, why is it so difficult to read the requirements before buying a game?

I love the look of the Tide Pool, especially the dark version of it, and the ambient music in this area is probably my favorite theme in the game.
It's a fun relaxing path to take compared to the temple. It feels like the breather that the Ice Caves were to the original game.

I say this as someone who just marathoned the classic Castlevania games and like other games like Spelunky. The whip is too annoying to use. Your standard attack is both delayed and has an incredibly small hitbox, leading me to take damage sometimes even against enemies that don't see me. I'd rather have the machete as a standard weapon, even if it meant making the whole rest of the game harder to balance it out.

Not when it dishonestly calls itself a Roguelite no. Slowly getting stronger (or at least unlocking new items to find, like in BoI for example)is the whole appeal of those as far as I'm concerned
This is just an old school platformer with randomized levels and permadeath, because "hard=good lol", calling it a roguelike is reaching

You weren't very far. I'd recommend not taking the temple path if you're just now playing this, because it is much harder than the path above it.
Also I died to exactly the same thing the first time I made it to the temple, it was so stressful with all the pushing blocks all over the place.
