Streets of Rogue: The Sweet Science (3/?)

The ending...Oh my god, I have no words. You even had so much time to theorize the outcome after you triggered it. I love this egg.

[@iami3rian394]

It was pretty painful to watch. I'm almost certain he'd have been caught in the blast from a normal generator, nevermind overclocked. He froze like a deer in headlights. It was a pretty good run as well.

[@Mysticfateee]

I love the fact that he was telling the other dude to go away but it's like the NPC was smarter than him... he saw it was going to blow and ran because he knew it had a much larger explosive radius. Unlike our eggboi

It hurts because he blew like, $80 on nothing, _in a store._ I'm gonna assume that once he has a bad run or two where you just can't make any money he'll stop throwing away his cash.

Hey man, you can teleport on icons on the map, a la Gungeon. Also, the lit up trash cans are the ones that still have items in there. When they're darkened, they're empty. EDIT: There's also a mutator to increase the run speed of the game by 1.3x. I HIGHLY recommend it. Faster gameplay I believe it's called.

[@Darkmega11]

He really shouldn't enable that until he can do the first few districts consistently. I haven't watched much because this game has a small learning curve and Egg is a bit slow, but he hasn't made it past the industrial district yet, even with slow play. I'd at least wait until he can get to downtown consistently before we turn on faster. It'd probably help if he'd play a character with decent speed stat as well.

[@iami3rian394]

@@Darkmega11 that's a fair opinion. For me it's a lot like StarCraft. Fastest is normal speed, and all that. I think he's good enough, and it would definitely be something he'd be interested in turning on, if only to record faster vids (he's made it _very_ clear over the years that his goal is more content, not great content).

I hate how I'm BARELY seeing ads on NL videos... I have my adblocker off but, the guy doesn't get ads. "Ooooh well one time NL had a scary inflection in his voice when he yelled after dying. Pull the ads." PFFFFF.... I wish he'd get some ads... He deserves some extra dosh from youtube, he uploads so diligently. Anyway, click read more for some hot tips if you like: I recommend making a custom character. You do that by clicking the black character slots below the pre-made characters. I found it nice~. I made a hacker guy (Laptop + Tech smarts to get more hack options) and made him fairly fast and strong too. If you like solo runs then, I recommend the anti-social debuff. It makes no one want to join your party and that's it but, hey, you like solo runs so, go for it. What it does is give you back MORE trait points to buff your guy even more with. Max 20 points, and I think anti-social is -4 or something. But again, you do runs where you don't hire help so, it's basically free additional trait points. - One more tip, I also recommend not gambling. If you have decent diligence on each floor and loot it good, you'll usually have enough money to buy what you need. By the time you hit floor 2-2 and beyond, you'll have plenty of cash. I find myself routinely hitting the 2nd stage or maybe 2-1 with 150-200 gold, sometimes more.

[@Darkmega11]

You should try to get some friends to play with and/or focus on class unlocks. Scientist and doctor are some of the harder characters to play, and there is a learning curve. Get some friends to make it more bearable or play a class that's more beginner-friendly. I recommend soldier or either gangster class.

[@iami3rian394]

Co-op kinda sucks though, especially the way NL tries to blow through levels as quickly as possible. There are some fun combos, for sure (gangster + gorilla for example), but I'm not convinced it would be as much fun to watch as you think it would. Also, I think playing with the doctor especially is good for him, since it almost forces him to learn to play the game without running in guns blazing, and often that's the better way to handle missions.

[@Darkmega11]

Highly disagree. We would get additional commentary, smarter NL (assuming he plays with someone who can help him learn), and NL doesn't have to do everything himself. I wouldn't even call NL's playstyle a blitz- 26ish minute video that ends at the start of industrial. The time limit mutator expects you to be at least at the beginning of park by then, which is a whole 3 levels. Speaking from experience, even that's lenient. You can just about make it to Downtown in that amount of time. For me, Co-Op adds to the experience. I think NL would find it easier to entertain viewers, too, if he had a co-commentator. It's really not about the combinations, but helping NL learn faster with revives and such. As for the stealth gameplay, this isn't Hitman. Ghosting a level isn't going to get you some huge silent assassin bonus- in fact, the game will almost always ask you to neutralize someone or destroy something in private property. A non-lethal route nets you less experience and uses up several invaluable resources, including coins, items, and time. Many of the in-game items enable or incentivize the violent approach. The problem with doctor is that you can't swiftly and silently kill anyone in any fashion. Gameplay usually revolves around controlling the field and eliminating threats swiftly. All the doctor has access to is an expensive tranquilizer gun and chloroform. NL shouldn't force himself into one kind of strategy, especially when he's learning.

[@Darkmega11]

No kills doesn't necessarily mean no weapons. Tranquilizer gun, freeze ray, the doctor's chloroform... There's many ways to do non-lethal floors, with or without weapons. Frankly, unless you're the doctor, you're better off getting the kill experience and getting the "killed a lot" bonus, which is about 100-300ish early on (XP scales with level a bit). You get to loot the bodies and get more experience.

[@iami3rian394]
