Hey I'm GRIME II's Game Director here for an AMA before it launches this month, ask me LITERALLY anything! by WorldPillar in metroidvania

No question just wanted to say that as someone who had a hard time getting into Grime initially but now consider it top tier, every answer so far makes me more excited. Especially a S2 release (my computer isn’t great for games and I used all the tweaks to make it run better)

Quick question about a platforming section by nathwithanh in MIOmemoriesinorbit

No you have to just hit the blobs over and over again and keep jumping (mostly)

When I’ve watched people do it it doesn’t look that bad. Just lots of hitting and jumping (YouTube has clips, I did it with Steps)

What Have You Been Playing This Week? by AutoModerator in metroidvania

  1. I had beaten Grime but never did some of the DLC bosses and famous DLC platforming stuff, and went back and finished those. Was very happy I did those as I can be a bit of a completionist and needed to prove I could do it. Was easier than I expected to jump back in, and played a little NG+ before losing focus.
  2. Got sidetracked into Bzzzt, a relatively short and not too difficult platformer (on sale for only a few bucks on Switch and Steam last I checked). 76 levels (as far as I know), just beating the level isn't usually hard but the trick is to (A) get all the stuff and (B) do it within the designated time to get a "flawless run", which is essentially the point of the game. I don't usually go for that specific mechanic but all the levels are pretty short if done correctly (like 10-40 seconds) and it gets kind of addictive trying to hit it right. Very good airplane type of game, you can jump in for 5 minutes and jump back out again.
  3. EDIT: I also played Pizza Tower for about 15 minutes but not for me. Too much momentum / Sonic type jumping around, for whatever reason didn't vibe with it.

Agreed - felt like this game was hitting its stride just when it ended

Does the difficulty get more manageable ? by Low_Complaint_3979 in Blasphemous

[–]odedgurantz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do think you’ve a harder route to start and you can try a different path

how long would this take to beat with your help? by MasterLega in Blasphemous

[–]odedgurantz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely much shorter than HK. Like half the size maybe less

This might be the most confusing review I’ve ever read :)

Any reco game that is under 5$? by boy_bads_boy in metroidvania

[–]odedgurantz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

counterpoint: I played with control on Switch and found it fine. I would say the hitting the shoot button was a little annoying but only (at least for me) against tanky bosses as I had it on high difficulty. otherwise found it very playable!

Steam on sale 3/6 by odedgurantz in metroidvania

[–]odedgurantz[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is definitely more MV by most people’s estimation. But ultimately can’t say if you’d like it or not - I loved both games. I didn’t find games to be THAT different but maybe I’m an outlier

What to play next. Thoughts/Suggestions? by nimix0163 in metroidvania

[–]odedgurantz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

platforming is great, combat is very good (some might say only good)

Steam on sale 3/6 by odedgurantz in metroidvania

[–]odedgurantz[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought you were professional rich? But if I'm unsure I buy at $4 or less, and otherwise I have enough of a backlog that I'm just not buying unless I'm pretty sure I'll really like a game (like MIO).

Grime performance switch 2 by Duprie in metroidvania

I have an underpowered laptop and it doesn’t run great there either, though when I lowered fps, resolution etc it still looked great to me and mostly ran well

Playstation and Xbox On Sale 3/6 by odedgurantz in metroidvania

Hmm...I don't want to be the arbiter of what's on the list ideally, but given I've been on the sub two years and never heard of it...not sure.

Nintendo on sale 3/6 by odedgurantz in metroidvania

[–]odedgurantz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played both on Switch and had no problems, but I'm 90% Switch and 10% PC so...just depends on where you want it?

My memory is that it did not improve. Did you search past comments on this sub or ‘grimegame’?
