In it's defense, No straight Roads just got a large bugfix patch just the other day, rolsoving many issues. I'd recommend this game on the presentation alone: It's not ultra long either so my vote is you'll have a nice time, but fleshing out the cast more with DLC would also be an excellent idea.
@sentientsardine97294 жыл бұрын
"Getting a large bugfix after you realise your game is shit" is something we've got to stop encouraging though. Surely any number of playtesters could have discovered the issues BEFORE asking for money from your audience? Instead it's like "everybody will buy our game and then once people start talking badly about it we'll fix it and try to get a second wave of buyers", or "don't bother putting effort into the game, people will buy it and then expect it to be fixed but since we'll have their money we won't have to fix it." It's worth noting, sure, but I don't know if I'd count it as a defence.

No Straight Roads is the worst playing game that I _want_ to keep playing in spite of it because everything feels so...earnest? I can't really articulate it but the game feels like it was made with love, not nescesarily skill. And in a world where Tripple A games can shit out Hulk suddenly channelling a text to speech program and have subtitles that describe actions better than the animators could, that makes all the difference in the world. ...Second boss is a bit of a bitch to fight since there's _so_ many things to react to at once. And actually having checkpoints here and there during the bossfights would be nice.
@bugjams4 жыл бұрын
I agree. It was made by a small indie Malaysian team, they had no reason to be greedy, and didn't have the resources to refine the game as well as AAA titles. Unfortunately it's not the charming kind of jank, but I hope the game does well. I hope they get enough money to make more games and learn from what few mistakes there were with NSR. If they manage to overcome those technical problems, they're going to make amazing games. I just know it.
@grodon9094 жыл бұрын
I have such mixed feelings on it. Like, I really want to like it more than I do, and I like what they were going for, but the execution was just...not great. It's playable, but has a lot of bugs and IIRC there are some levels where it is just about impossible to get an S rank on Crazy difficulty in single player due to the way the game was made. And yet, I played the 1010 fight like 10 times, just for the heck of it, because it's still sort-of good. I wouldn't reccommend it to anyone at it's current price point, but if it were like $20, I'd probably give a lot more praise.

From what I've seen, NSR could have been much better if they embraced the music aspect of the game. The idea of the enemies attacking in time to the music was neat, but sometimes the ost hid the beat or lost it entirely. Not to mention the fact that the PLAYER had no such compunction. You could swing that guitar all you liked, and that didn't feel right to me.

On a more serious note, I find it highly ironic for Rock music to be the ones to portray themselves as the rebellious freedom fighters of music considering that Rock music was the mainstream juggernaut for over 50 years. There was outright hostility towards the emerging hip hop scene that help kill off disco. Until the 90’s and 2000’s the music scene became what this game presented; bloated, manipulative and self serving media empire that crushed anything that didn’t fit the desires of music labels.

It has its charm in story, character, overall design, and hidden depths here a d there. Combat is just an ass and unsatisfying, and had it's fair share of bugs. That's what I got out of it.
@jacob333314 жыл бұрын
Yeah, everything except combat was great, combat would have been good with enemies reacting appropriately to getting bonked with a guitar and some sort of defense from getting stun locked, but how everything is synced up with music really made the game. As for bugs, the only one I noticed was one time a level took a few seconds to render after I spawned in. The other known one that's even on the Wikipedia is health pick ups not showing up during rap battle boss fight on Switch version.

wouldn't say he hated it, more like gave it a truthful review and sent it on its way. To middle-of-the-line-tries-to-be-deep-chest-high-wall-shooter-land. Not that he liked the first one any better.
@mitrovarr4 жыл бұрын
I don't know if he hated it for obvious reasons, unless the bad combat is obvious. I watched the video of him playing it and the combat just looked terrible. I had actually wanted to play it myself before that, but after watching him play it, it was just obviously not a good game. I could see people who liked the cartoon parts, but not the gameplay - it's just badly programmed.

I wonder if when/if Ultrakill is coming out of Early Access we're gonna get a review of it. That game has a minigun that shoots a wedge that acts as a tag, attracting all bullets you shoot to swarm around it like angry metal bees and when enough gather around it it explodes, launching the bullets as shrapnel. I've never fallen in love with a gun instantly, but thiis one might just be it.

I just realised that the ending with Yahtzee using a golf club to smash a toad into a giant dartboard comes from the fact that he used to live in Queensland, Australia. We do that down here because the fucking cane toads are _a fucking biblical plague!_ It's practically an Australian's civic duty to kill a cane toad any time we see one, with whatever weapons are at hand.
