I tried stranger's dream exactly once and almost got through it. Seriously I think I died on the last wave. Never tried it again.

my cat is named zia and every time the vet assistant calls me to confirm an appointment she calls zia "zaia"

My dog's name is Rukey, and every time the vet sees him she shaves off his moustache 😦

I should replay Bastion at some point too

lmao babs....... why is that true? because it's totally true

cedar patio
#

i used to be decent enough at it but i played one of the first few levels (rucks is still the stranger) and i actually died

#

my friend picked up bastion and she texted me to say she's a little ways in and it's gorgeous

#

Kid is great

#

heck yeck more bastion fans

rancid smelt
#

Thanks, Darren, for making a soundtrack so good it's easily en par with TLoZ Ocarina of Time. I had it on my portable media player (and nothing else) for about 6 months after playing Bastion and I still listen to it every day.

Is this where we yell about needing Bastion on switch? 😁 😁

I think I’ve bought Bastion like 3 times now lmao it keeps going on sale.

when is the release day of bastion 2? I want open world.

I don't think it's really SG's style to do sequels or open world

#

bastion 2: battle royale

#

I kind of like having every game be a new IP

#

I wouldn't mind some more fleshing out of Transistor's story though, as I found it kind of confusing.

hey bastion fun fact: zulf is beautiful and has never done anything wrong, in his life,

#

He's simply a man under some intense circumstances. He deserves no hate, only love.

#

and i love ur icon, good stuff

lilac hazel
#

Yep. I saw you mention Zulf and my first thought 'Wait... i still have the profile pic on right?" Yep. I do.

#

Know what's awesome?

#

The fact that i use Zulf as my Discord profile pic, Hedwyn for my YouTube, and Royce for my Steam.

lilac hazel

It's a pretty lumpy potato

#

(I like how Bastion is my least favorite of the three((Not in a bad way, it's still a good 8/10!)) And yet it's the first chat room i make use of.)

fallen comet
#

Which one is your favourite then?

lilac hazel
#

Pyre. I think Transistor is the highest quality and is the one all people should play, but Pyre has a special place in my heart for it's devotion to character building.

minor spade
#

Bastion is a great introduction, though

fallen comet
#

Although Transistor is my favourite one I do agree with the character building thing

lilac hazel
#

I agree. I always like for Supergiant's new fans to play them in order, like i did.

fallen comet
#

Same here xD

minor spade
#

I've met people who tried the other games but didn't like them. But if coaxed into playing Bastion, they then go back and enjoy the other games.

lilac hazel
#

That's hilarious, cause that's my same mindset. Can't insult a guy's taste in games when you both play and love the same game. Ive been dying to get a friend of mine to play Transistor.

steep dust
#

Bastion is a bit old, but it's fun to play. I like the weird choice the ending offers. But nobody that talks about it on Youtube ever mentions anything about it. They usually mention the Zulf choice.

#

The second choice the game gives you is equally interesting, because it's a no-choice.

#

If you restore the Bastion, you just loop, over and over and over. The problem never fixes itself. The narrator feels like he's "told the story a thousand times before" to Zia (and to an extent, the player), likely because he's told it a thousand times before.

twilit urchin
#

that's... kind of the point, though?

steep dust
#

Yea, that's the point, I just find it funny that while everyone mentions the Zulf choice when talking about Bastion's narrative, nobody mentions the second choice, ever, which puts the game into perspective.

#

I feel like it's intentional to have the narrator be there most of the time and constantly talk about his nostalgia of Caelondia, how much he misses it, if he could just go back to fix it. It's a bit difficult for me not to agree with him when Zia has very few voice lines right up at the end of the game, and it sounds like a very selfish plea in comparison.

#

The fact that the story repeats itself a "thousand times" leads credence to that idea. Ultimately the morale of the story is that sometimes, the only thing you can do is move on.

#

Of course, that makes new game plus very weird, because new game plus only happens if you do restoration technically.

#

As in, if you select evacuation on your first run and then go into new game plus

#

mfw people go 👀 at me

little parrot
#

i actually reset everything on my first playtrough

#

and it helped put what you said into perspective for my ng+

#

but i saved zulf tho

#

both times

#

he's my boi

#

he may have been a traitor but i can relate

steep dust
#

The Zulf choice also has a similar theme to it. Do you forgive Zulf and move on, or not? I believe Zulf also only appears in the evacuation ending.

little parrot
#

i dont remember

#

been a long time since i last played the game

steep dust
#

He appears on the side of the Bastion flying away if you save him.

little parrot
#

oh right

#

i think peeking out a bit

#

found it online

#

he is actually just sitting alone on the other side of the bastion away from the rest

steep dust
#

Yea

Does anyone know if someone has made a working version of Zia's harp guitar?

#

hey folks, new to the channel. Joined basically to ask one question - is anyone out there playing challenge runs of these games? I was working on a "no weapons" run of Bastion, and I was stuck at a particular boss (I believe it was Sir Lunky? the guy who destroys the floor). Anyone doing something like that, or interested in it?

lament coral
#

I wasn't before but I am now

raven elm
#

No weapons as in just hammer and pistols, or literally no weapons?

cyan flame
#

literally no weapons. I did all my damage by rolling or by falling on enemies

raven elm
#

Dang, I didn’t even realize that was possible

lament coral
#

What about shield reflect?

cyan flame
#

i don't know if it is, hahaha

#

but i can confirm that it is until that boss, at least

#

ummm

#

i don't remember if i allowed shield reflect, but i probably did

#

it's been a while

lament coral
#

That's the only way I could see it being viable, because otherwise you're literally killing yourself to deal small amounts of damage

cyan flame
#

the roll doesn't hurt you though

lament coral
#

Throwing yourself off does

cyan flame
#

yeah, i used it sparingly, haha

#

but i believe there's a thingy that makes your landing damage higher...?

lament coral
#

And you could easily end up in dangerous locations with the roll

cyan flame
#

i used that (if i'm remembering correctly)

lament coral
#

Yeah, but I don't think it was available from the beginning

cyan flame
#

of course not, i only used the roll then

#

the boss i was stuck on is extra hard because he destroys the floor

lament coral
#

But I'm definitely considering doing that

cyan flame
#

awesome!

#

tell me how it goes!

lament coral
#

👍

cyan flame
#

it's been a long time since i picked up that game - maybe the boss isn't as hard as i remember

#

i should revisit it at some point and check

#

oh, and i was doing a much much easier Turn()-less Transistor

#

but I'm sure that's been done / is off topuc

muted jay
#

i know this is only mildly on topic but i actualy recently started playing bastion, and I got to the shield proving ground? I kept getting 4 hits isntead of 3 for first place and practiced it for hours -- which made me really frustrated, but now whenever im attacked i reflectively counter with the shield perfectly every time... guess it paid off after all 🤔

cedar patio
#

no weapons bastion run is ballsy

#

i like it

cyan flame
#

i looove challenge runs of games

#

i do them for all my favorites

muted jay
#

you guys are intense lol

#

i love games but im not actually good at them (rip)

rancid olive
#

wasnt it like stabenstine that makes hit hit things when hit or somthing

muted jay
#

i think so --

#

stabsinthe?

cyan flame
#

oh, the drink

rancid olive
#

a tonic

cyan flame
#

it wasn't a weapon, so i allowed it, haha

green rampart
#

New to this as well.. Bastion to this day remains the only game I've ever gotten every achievement for on Xbox. Even though it wasn't that tough 😃

cyan flame
#

don't worry, I'm not "good" at games, really

green rampart
#

and no weapons.. I'm intrigued

rancid olive
#

i could get everything but 10 idol who knows where

cyan flame
#

my reaction time / the time i have to devote to games is very limited

#

all you have to do is be super persistent and think very carefully about every single option the game gives you, even the utterly stupid ones

#

i didn' t even finish the dream world thingies

muted jay
#

what dream world thingies-

#

wait

#

I DONT WANNA KNOW YET!! I HAVE TOBEAT THE GAME FIRST

#

i'd love to hear about anyone's progress in this challenge

#

dm me whenever

rancid olive
#

no weapons run? i might tryi t

small vapor
#

I'm kind of disappointed there are no romance options for zia

old kayak
#

hmm i wouldn't wanna see that..i don't think romance fits Bastion at all

small vapor
#

You're right, but she was rather nice.

old kayak
#

Zia was amazing

brazen verge
#

Zia is nice, yeah

cedar patio
#

like tbqh zia and kid are implied to be pretty heavily interested in each other (harp guitar scene hhhh) but it's never canon bc i feel like the game doesn't have enough time to really develop it fully & it's a distraction to the story

old kayak
#

hmmm i guess every player looks at it differently...im definitly not into that for some reason

green rampart
#

I feel that's something that probably developed after the events of Bastion if anything, as much as the entire cast had gone through and what they were trying to accomplish in the story I don't feel that quite fit, though I do agree they felt deeply invested in each other.

#

And man did Darren Korb do great with the soundtrack. One of two I've bought, the other being Yasunori Mitsuda on Chrono Trigger

old kayak
#

I haven't played that yet (it's now on steam so luckily it's easy to get) but i know it's a classic and i really want to

Chrono Trigger? I'm playing it right now * - * Coincidences are piling up...

Oh wow that's a tough question

Zulf...

mine is..... zulf/rucks, i love zulf and love-hate rucks

I agree it's hard

#

I think Zia because I sing a lot myself, but also rucks......

cedar patio
#

but i also love zia and kid so much......

#

Mine would be Zia as well

digital lotus
#

I heavily hesitate between Zia and Rucks

old kayak
#

It's so hard I like everyone lol

restive robin
#

Zia is great too though I need to listen to her story again to really determine

digital lotus
#

Because the scene when you meet Zia and hear the first sung music in the distance is INCREDIBLE

old kayak
#

I did all the achievements so I got to listen to all their stories a lot

#

I know!!!

#

That was so good

digital lotus
#

(It's been too long since I played, I can't remember their stories very well :()

#

(Sounds like a new game should be done soon :D)

#

When I replay that scene I always start to sing it by the start of the level because I know it's coming

If I had payed attention more, I must have played through the visions like 10 times each now xD

The strategy I used: Pick the Mortar, and stick behind cover. There's a lot of cover on that map, especially compared to the other ones. Not a guaranteed strategy, by I found it made things easier.

it's also old enough that we've all kind of talked about everything

it's my sgg favourite too. i have a special place for it although i love their other games too

#

@cedar patio I disagree; a game, movie, or book may be "old"--and this really isn't by some standards--but there can still be plenty to discuss and love about Bastion! 😃

cedar patio
#

thats very true!

hollow pilot
#

I remember trying to beat the game with all Idols turned on 🤣

#

Bastion really nails difficulty though. As well as the weapons scaling. Even though at the end there are some just for fun ones and stuff.

#

I wouldn't mind like a boss rush gauntlet or something for Bastion. Gameplay experimenting is so fun.

raven elm
#

I guess you get a bit of that in the dreams

hollow pilot
#

Yeah the dreams were a really fun way to challenge yourself with Idols and stuff.

shy hare
#

Oh, the dreams were /brilliant/!! And on a narrative level, revealing backstory--that was just GENIUS! It really pushed me, the first time I did it, to get better and better so I could slowly progress and learn the Kid's backstory....Yeah, doing it that way was so clever!! Plus we get to hear even more of Rucks 😃

raven elm
#

I hate to just say same, but that really describes my experience as well

shy hare
#

^_^ 😄

#

The dreams are what pushed me to really think about weapon loadouts. I'm glad I attempted them before diving into idol runthroughs

I only need to do two more dreams with 10 idols and then the hard part is over 🤩

#

Props to you, I gave up xD

few months back I 100%d the game

still the only steam game Ive 100%d so far

#

aiming for night in the woods and the other sggs to join it 8n the future hopefully

#

Im nowhere near as good as pyre or transistor as I am at bastion though so itll take some time

old kayak
#

I did that too @warm flare , 100%d Bastion I think 3 weeks ago
I was planning to do the same with Transistor first and Pyre later but lately I've been back on the Pyre hype train so...maybe I'll start with it

Also, in my second playthrough I think all creatures survived the attack

"The Kid gets to work. The sun's just risin' and the list is a mile long."

#

"The kid finishes the task. Put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into it- well, only one of the three."

#

Sound about right?

#

I would like these to describe my day, with the exception of the first.

#

A more accurate description of today: "The kid gets up, but I takes him a while to get started. But once the engine's runnin' there ain't no stopping 'im."

"Almost there, kid. 3 left. Nah just messin'. 5 left"

happy anniversary to bastion :D i'm playing through this game rn after having finished transistor

gleaming scroll
#

happy bday bastion!!

#

my friends n i would race to see who could beat the game the quickest, my best pal n i just narrowly tied with each other

#

we'd also try and see who could complete certain trials the quickest or w/the fewest shots

#

i managed to beat the musket challenge w/just 1 shot 8)

#

hold on lemme find the screencap...

#

this might take a while.

#

well w/e. i did it once, i can do it again >:V

#

man i need to buy bastion on pc...

#

i only have it on mobile

#

how does it play on mobile?

formal glade
#

actually really well

#

when i played it first i didnt even realize it was a port from pc

#

that was like 5 yrs ago

fickle harbor
#

I'm impressed how well this game has held up

#

7 years old and still immensely enjoyable.

barren pasture
#

the soundtrack is timeless so I think that will help it hold up well for many years to come

zenith smelt
#

it helps that the art can't really become "dated" like with games with 3D graphics

fickle harbor
#

yeah, having a stylised graphics, it may come in and out of fashion, but is never really dated

#

like stardew valley, Minecraft, terraria, limbo ect

OMG STREAM!!!

limber field
#

Who/what would you say is the antagonist of Bastion?

stone ruin
#

nationalism-driven hatred?

gleaming scroll
#

^?

#

sounds about right

lunar granite
#

@stone ruin I like that interpretation

stone ruin
#

I mean, the whole thing happens just because Caelondia wants to obliterate the Ura, a complete and utter genocide, and it blows up in their faces

gleaming scroll
#

watchin the livestream, theres somethin funny about how the kid always faceplants into the next level

limber field
#

The neat thing about that idea is that most of other candidates for the antagonist could be directed back to that, like Zulf

stone ruin
#

the whole story is just a big misunderstanding if you subtract the fact that both of the countries are not only hostile, but actively prejudiced against each other

#

and the only thing you can do to make sure that this relation won't end up in a vicious circle is to let go of everything and fly away, leaving all the past politics behind

twilit urchin

@limber field and the way it's played with when he faceplants and takes longerto get up at the end ;3;

hey whats everyone's favorite loadout?

#

MAchete and Bow with Poison upgrades

limber field
#

Machete and bow because I'm basic

lunar granite
#

Mine is probably Brusher's Pike and Mortar... but then again I'm always the one who has to do 10 idol Who Knows Where's and it's what I'm most comfortable with doing it.

hexed lily
#

Love those Dual Repeaters mmmm

inland prairie
#

@Morgan I share your picks.

south knoll
#

mine is fang repeater and dueling pistols, with squirt lure

limber field

I love the idea of the Idols

south knoll

they call me.... alma three guns....

vague plank
#

I like to take a different loadout every time.

hexed lily
#

I'm all about mobility in games? So dual pistols & the machete.

inland prairie
#

Brusher's Pike and Mortar got me through all the full-idol challenges.

hexed lily
#

That's a slow build 🤔

#

V brave

south knoll
#

yeah! its what i did for the strangers dream

stone ruin
#

I think I liked smashing stuff with the Hammer the most, with varying ranged weapons depending on how I feel about stuff, but mostly pistols or blunderbuss

fast rapids
#

some combination of Bow or Rifle for ranged and Machete or Pike for melee

south knoll
#

that took me a lot of tries, and every one of them is like half an hour.....

#

the hardest achievement to get probably

harsh nexus
#

i love the bow and the pike

unkempt meteor
#

Pike and Rifle was my favourite

#

it was bad for close range though

inland prairie
#

My "fun" loadout was bow and hammer - kiting and smashing just feels so fun.

south knoll
#

i am so bad with the bow

#

it feels so slow to me

hollow pilot
#

i like loadout of guns

unkempt meteor
#

IT'S ALL RANGE OF NOTHING

quiet charm
#

I always went with machete and scrap musket

hexed lily
#

The bow gets this certain rhythm to it, if you stick with it. Hitting that power shot is very satisfying.

I fell in love with the soundtracks first, and played the games after.

I still cry over the Transistor soundtrack.

Orange weather 🍊 👌

Sorry, what?

#

Googling, I only get the weather in Orange, France...

stone ruin
#

they talked about the orange weather on stream

quiet charm
#

Must have missed that

#

Omg, hanging gardens... So many ways to fall

stone ruin
#

as in, you can get various weather conditions in Bastion, and there was this autumn-looking environment, and they dubbed it "orange weather"

quiet charm
#

Aaah

#

I never noticed there was weather

#

This game... ❤

vague plank
#

RIGHT??!

#

I quit smashing them because it made me too sad.

quiet charm
#

I smash them because it makes Logan talk

True....

Has he left SGG now?

I always saw it like scattering their ashes

Dear, I remember everything he says

I avoided destroying any of their ashes if possible while playing

but yeah, when you did destroy them, the dialog was good

quiet charm
#

Aaah

#

👌

#

"That's an expressive decision" 😄

lyric raft
#

@quiet charm The 'acts' of the story are just our own internal reference and it's never presented back to the player that directly.

quiet charm
#

I get that, which is why I was wondering

lyric raft
#

You mean where do we think they occur?

quiet charm
#

Yeah

#

Act one -> two is the betrayal

#

but are there more?

lyric raft
#

The first act is about discovering survivors and realizing it's possible for the Bastion to make everything better.

#

The second act begins with Zulf leaving -- the plan is thrown into doubt and things get complicated.

#

The third act begins after the Bastion survives the Ura's attack; the truth is revealed, and the original plan has evolved, and there's no turning back now.

#

We have a few cutscene-style images and longer bits of narration along the way and for each of those moments.

quiet charm
#

So speedruns don't care about act two happening, and skips act three. Neat

lyric raft
#

Yeah, speedruns of course aren't concerned with the story content at all, unless it's getting in the way of their speed

quiet charm
#

😄

#

Yeah, I've gotten into Bastion speedruns lately, I think I'm gonna be pretty good at it fairly soon :3

lyric raft
#

Story acts are purely there to serve a traditional 'beginning, middle, and end' story structure.

quiet charm
#

I designed my D&D campaign as three sets of 'beginning, middle, end', works really well

#

Also, any word about upcoming games, now that pyre is one year old?

#

As in, is it happening? Are you working on anything right now at all? Do I still have more games to look forward to in life? 😮

lyric raft
#

We've been keeping busy, sticking together and figuring out what's next -- though too early to say more than that...! We want to keep making games for a long time time to come.

quiet charm
#

Soo, not working on anything concrete yet, then? As long as you stay the same team, I'm happy, to be honest, but who doesn't want a new SGG game yesterday?

#

Yesterday as in already, not as in Pyre's birthday

north cloak
#

Oh, hey Greg. Regarding Bastion, how much additional fleshing-out of each of the caste or profession groups such as the Brushers or the Slingers did you do?

lyric raft
#

@north cloak A fair amount...! Enough to where we could drop in little hints about them here and there and create a broader impression of a guild system that was central to Caelondia's culture and government.

#

Stuff like that and the Pantheon I think really helps create the impression of a complete world -- even though what you're seeing as a player is 'just a bunch of levels'.

quiet charm
#

Are the devs always this active, or is it due to the stream?

lyric raft
#

Realistically we weren't going to show players some giant sprawling city filled with civilians, though we felt we could create the mental image.

#

@quiet charm We're here each day in some capacity, at least some of us. We'll probably start doing more scheduled events like this. We're still figuring it out...!

north cloak
#

They really do. I asked earlier in the stream how you guys went about designing the pantheon, and if you had any specific references or resources you drew on for them. I loved those little details.

quiet charm
#

I feel like I've missed out a chance to speak with the people I look up to for much too long

raven root
#

this is probably the most active I've seen the devs since the channel started

quiet charm
#

I even considered applying for your job opening a while ago, despite it not being what I want to work with and me not fitting the requirement at all

#

Did you find anyone?

lyric raft
#

We did, thank you for your interest...!

quiet charm
#

Lol

#

How many are you now?

lyric raft
#

We have 16 people all told. We were 7 at the end of Bastion, 12 for Transistor and Pyre, and grown a bit since last year.

quiet charm
#

Oh, sounds like you have something big in store for your fourth game then

I would have loved to apply for a job at supergiants but I am too inexperienced. However getting hired there is still one of my long term goals

"If it would have worked, it would have been cool"

Caitlin, are you new to SGG?

I am definitely not one of the Bastion devs, no.

@south knoll We did concept it yeah and had an initial animation set. If you watch Building the Bastion on Giant Bomb, there's some video of it in one of the early installments.

#

The City Crest is her symbol.

I love that Zia talks at the end

#

It's such a genius detail

south knoll
#

i really like micia

#

the bastion pantheon is just really good

quasi basin
#

The narration catching up with where you are in the last level is really excellent too

quiet charm
#

Yeah

#

The way that Rucks suddenly has no clue what you are doing

#

I love how that plays off-of you picking up Zulf, and the way he assumes you fight him, and how the Ura basically assumed you would as well, had they not beaten you to it

#

It really drives the gesture home

#

Thank you @proper marlin and @bleak owl for an amazing stream today! I'm looking forward to the upcoming streams too!

Machete and (scrap) Musket

I'm going through the game again and fell back to Pike And Mucket

#

Used to swear by Machete/Bow/Squirts, now I swear by Pike/Dueling Pistols/Squirts or Duel Decider

quiet charm
#

Oh, but I love the speed and DPS of the Machete, and the CC and AOE of the Musket

hardy grail
#

I want to love the Pistols so I can be Roland from the Dark Tower series but they have never impressed

zenith smelt
#

they are fantastic

quiet charm
#

To be honest I hated them almost as much as the cannon

zenith smelt
#

get upgrades that give them armor piercing and increased damage, take werewhiskey, crits for days

hardy grail
#

Does it hold up with all idols invoked?

zenith smelt
#

yes

#

I beat the game yesterday with Pike/Pistols

#

with all idols

hardy grail
#

Hmm, might have to give it a shot

#

In the dreams, with all idols, I ended up with Flame Bellows, Bow and Leechade

vague gull
#

I really like the galleon mortar. I used that in Zulf’s dream with all idols and will be using it for rucks as well

Mortar is bae

officially put in my pre-order for Bastion physical copy. Considering I got the pc version for free (I won that one humble bundle it was in from a gaming site I followed back in the day) it seemed fitting I finally pay for it properly

there’s a guide for it on steam that really helped me

#

i basically did it in 2 tries

#

Score attack mode is much easier on steam. I’ll send a link on how they did it if you want :^)

muted helm
#

@vague gull ha! Bastion is the last game I need to Platinum

gleaming scroll
#

if you wanna try it for yourself, the only drinks that matter are hearty punch and stabsinthe; werewhiskey might help a bit with clearing the gourds out just a lil faster

south knoll
#

..huh

#

gonna have to try that

chrome prawn
#

Genius

vague gull
#

@muted helm good luck!

quiet charm
#

Wait, if you decrease spread, how do you hit them all?

quartz stratus
#

Bastion was probably the first game i've 100%'d on steam if at all

gleaming scroll
#

@quiet charm theres 2 gourds left, roughly around the 2 circles that i marked, by the time i've stabsinthed + hearty punched all the other gourds to death. with increased knockback + range + 2 shots fired at once, the musket will kill/knock off the last 2 gourds with a carefully aimed shot https://i.imgur.com/hBZUW07.jpg

#

it's gonna take a while to whittle down all the gourds w/stabsinthe, even with werewhiskey; dont equip falling malt either, otherwise it'll take you forever to knock yourself out to make good use of the explosion that hearty punch generates

quiet charm
#

I don't remember, what to the two tonics do?

south knoll
#

stabsinthe makes you shoot spikes when youre hurt i think

proud karma
#

It does

#

Werewhiskey gives crits at low health i think

#

And falling malt reduces damage you take from falling and increases the damage you do when you land on enemies

gleaming scroll
#

hearty punch gives you an extra life + makes an explosion around you that hurts enemies

Whaaaaat??! One shot?!?!?!!? 😮 😮 : O:O 😮

The place with the Squirts always gets me though, that one is so hard!

the war machete one?

i havent played bastion in ages but god

i would marry the war machete if it were a person

finally I could have done it but nope

damn I am not sure if I'Ll amange to max all of them out

maybe is should go on to play transistor 😦

I introduced the game to a friend and during the second half, he was going on and on about what he was going to do to Zulf when he finally found him. Upon actually finding him and seeing the choice, he got up and walked away from the computer, thinking things over.

My friend came back, sighed, and saved him

#

He wasn't happy about it but "It's the right thing to do."

raven elm
#

I’ve never been able to leave him behind

#

I don’t even know what happens

cedar patio
#

he dies, and you either restart or fly off without him

shy hare
#

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

#

He d-dies?!?!?!

#

That's awful....

#

I've never, ever had the heart to leave him behind--even when thinking "I'll leave him to see what happens, maybe this time", when the time comes I can never make myself do it. The fact his own people turn on him just makes it deeper, and worse....

cedar patio
#

i've never left him behind, i love him

#

also if you leave him behind you have to fight the rest of the ura back to the skyway

raven elm
#

That’s what worries me

hardy grail
#

The fight isn't hard but you miss the song too

raven elm
#

Oh no... I guess you would

#

I can’t imagine Bastion without Setting Sail, Coming Home...

hardy grail
#

You miss Mother, I'm Here

#

The end credits song remains the same but it's clear what is 'suppose' to be picked

twilit urchin
#

man, this is making me really want to replay bastion

#

but to do that i'd have to reinstall it volfredthink

cedar patio
#

bastion 🇬ood

shy hare
#

Do ittttt!!!!!

raven elm
#

I’ve never deleted a Supergiant Game 😛

twilit urchin
#

it's been a while since i played it

#

don't think i ever actually installed it on this pc

#

welp

hardy grail
#

I got 95 hours in Bastion

shy hare
#

I have 131 hours in Bastion (5 times), 156 in Transistor (13-20; I've actually lost count), and 243 in Pyre (8 times, plus some in VS Mode). 😄

hardy grail
#

Impressive!

lyric swift
#

Bless this chat for having people that understand the joy of replaying a great game

shy hare
#

Heh, thanks!! ^_^ 😄

#

fist bump Yeah!!!! 😄 Blees you for saying that! 😛

hardy grail
#

I have 497 hours in Terraria, I'm used to sticking with a game I like

shy hare
#

My library on Steam is ver small because I love replaying games!

#

Whoa! That's incredible!

#

Let's see...I only have 7 hours on that game haha!

hardy grail
#

I bought it wayyy back in the day and all the updates have transformed it into something quite impressive

shy hare
#

kewl!

hardy grail
#

It doesn't have much in the way of story and thus Supergiant games scratch that itch

shy hare
#

Yeah. My entire library is almost only story-driven games, I'm "picky" that way, lol! I only play games with good stories, but I do like the occasional dungeon-crawler thingie. I have all of Supergiant, Life is Strange, Portal, Ori and the Blind Forest, The Stanely Parable, Among the Sleep, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.

#

STORY-DRIVEN GAMES FOREEEVVVVEEEERRRR!!!!!!!!!

#

😍

twilit urchin
#

oof ow ouch it turns out i'm Real Rusty at bastion

hardy grail
#

It comes back pretty quick

cedar patio
#

bastion when you're rusty is Hard

hardy grail
#

A few shots with the Bow and you'll be Power Shotting like a champ

cedar patio
#

i tried recently and died on an early level

shy hare
#

I remember the very first area I died in when I did it for the first time was Cinderbrick Fort 😝

#

don't give up you can do it!!!! 😄 🙌 👏 squirtyay

twilit urchin
#

uuuuuuuuuuuuugh

#

i got 63 targets on the repeater challenge

hardy grail
#

It's easier with some of the final upgrades

twilit urchin
#

got it

#

werewhiskey is gr8

shy hare
#

Yay!

twilit urchin
#

got to zia and i'm just sitting here enjoying the song ;3;

raven elm
#

I do that every time

shy escarp
#

I do that too its really nice

marsh sun
#

only 3 proving grounds left

#

ok, fang repeater is a bad joke with last upgrade 😄

#

2 left 😄

hardy grail
#

Told ya!

marsh sun
#

revolver one seems impossible tho

#

i use auto aim

#

i would need to get 70 score 10x

#

only time I can >=70 is the first when I can start before the target shows up 😢

#

and btw I reduce my HP bellow 33% to get the crit bonus 😢

hardy grail
#

Hmm...

#

Got rid of bullet scatter? Cause that makes them nearly unusable in my eyes

marsh sun
#

yes

hardy grail
#

Here, I got that trial on the list, let me boot it up

marsh sun
#

lol without the Werewhiskey trick I get 51 score for the first one even if I start to shoot before it appears

#

this one seems to be impossible or idk, i have fully upgraded weapon

hardy grail
#

Lemme try and see if we can't figure it out together

marsh sun
#

👌

hardy grail
#

610 first try

#

Gonna try mashing harder

marsh sun
#

spamming the button is faster? 🤔

#

I think I held it down 😄

hardy grail
#

Wereshiskey active, going to mash and see

#

741

marsh sun
#

i guess that will be it, thanks

#

I'll give it a try

#

never used that weapon much ingame

hardy grail
#

I really don't either

#

Pure damage upgrades, Werewhiskey active, once your hear the target pop up, push the direction it's in, mash the button 3-4 times and it'll go down

marsh sun
#

740 😄

hardy grail
#

Nice!

marsh sun
#

so the main problem was that I just pressed the button once and held it down 😄

#

now only the hammer one left

#

managed to do it in 28sec once

#

27 is the threshold 😄

hardy grail
#

Got that one too, let's pound it out

#

Pun fully intended

#

I'm bad at this one

marsh sun
#

damn 28 again

#

😢

hardy grail
#

44 cause I keep going off the edge

marsh sun
#

i just go and roll and hit without much thinking

#

haha if I fell down I just reset

hardy grail
#

Do damage upgrades even matter when smashing junk?

marsh sun
#

I'm not sure

#

learning what to roll and what to hit matters the most I guess

hardy grail
#

All the wooden junk goes down easy with a roll, I think

marsh sun
#

26 yeah

#

all is done 😄

hardy grail
#

How?

marsh sun
#

i moved as south-west as possible from the hammer

#

started with a big hit

#

then went around clockwise and rollled whenever possible

#

also damage upgrades might count imo

#

as some stuff needs more hit

#

any success there?

hardy grail
#

I didn't have enough fragments for the final upgade and that trial always takes me forever so I skipped it

#

I've done it before, got the achievment, so no worries there

spark mulch
#

I think the kids name is Percy becuz the song that plays when u take the first core is called Percy’s escape

#

And it plays as you’re escaping

proud marsh
#

It might instead be referring to Percy the Snitch

spark mulch
#

Oh

proud marsh
#

One of the petrified characters you meet later on

#

It was mentioned by the devs during their Bastion livestream recently, but I don't remember what exactly they said 🤔

spark mulch
#

Oh

cedar patio
#

if you destroy his statue the game calls him percy and says something about his grin and how the kid hated it

spark mulch
#

U mean Rucks?

cedar patio
#

yeah rucks as the narrator says that

fallen tangle
#

I remember feeling bad about smashing their remains but I wanted that dank lore

cedar patio
#

lol same

#

it's also sort of scattering their ashes, in a way

tawdry briar
#

@proud marsh Yes, they said Percy's escape is about Percy the Snitch. can't remember if they mentioned any further background; in fact i think they said they didn't think too much in terms of backstory...

proud marsh
#

Oh I kinda remember what they said on the Bastion livestream. When they got to Percy the Snitch, Amir asked Darren if there was a song named after him, to which Darren replied that it was Greg who named the songs and not Darren himself.

fallen tangle
#

And getting the kid covered by them too

proud marsh
#

Yeah something like that

spark mulch
#

Oh well my theory got shut down

fallen tangle
#

But now you can come up with a better one

spark mulch
#

Yea

#

Maybe a trip through the game files will help

#

Lemme install bastion on my laptop right now

#

I want the bastion shirt with the kid on it but I don’t think my school would let me cuz of the marshal’s rifle he’s holding

tawdry briar
#

dw school does end

fallen tangle
#

Oof

tawdry briar
#

and then you get to go to uni, do a phd, forget what free time means, and wish you were back in school 🤣

brisk python
#

Yeah that probably wouldn’t go over very well

fallen tangle
#

Wear it when you're not in school

spark mulch
#

Yea

#

I will

#

If I get it

brisk python
#

Wear it anyway

cedar patio
#

i've been able to wear it to my college but i live in a gun loving state

fallen tangle
#

Wear it under your shirt

#

They'll never know

spark mulch
#

I might get the pyre one too

cedar patio
#

the jodi shirt is cool

spark mulch
#

That doesn’t have any weapons on it

cedar patio
#

the mason bastion shirt is also pretty neato

brisk python
#

Be a madlad and wear it everywhere

fallen tangle
#

The absolute madlad

cedar patio
#

eggplant emoji??

#

what does it mean in this context.......

brisk python
#

It’s a delicious vegetable

fallen tangle
#

Don't worry about it

twilit urchin
#

of course the pyre shirt has weapons on it

#

it has jodi's sick guns

spark mulch
#

I felt bad when a lot of my animals were killed by the ura

#

Sparrow 😐

fallen tangle
#

Most people won't even notice

spark mulch
#

Guys I heard bastion’s getting a battle Royale mode

fallen tangle
#

I'm pretty sure teachers aren't going run their faces on your shirt to look for anything against the rules

#

Yeah, and it's gonna be in early access

spark mulch
#

Wow

#

At least it would’ve made by supergiant

lunar granite
#

It's 100 squirts battling to grow into a scumbag.

spark mulch
#

Yea

#

That’s a good idea actually

fallen tangle
#

Winner winner blubber dinner

spark mulch
#

Winner winner garbage dinner

fallen tangle
#

A squirts goal to become swole

spark mulch
#

Cuz scumbags are fed garbage

fallen tangle
#

And have all the garbage it can eat

umbral holly
#

ooo, this is a new squirt emote i haven't seen squirtdevious

harsh nexus
#

you wont find these exclusive babes on steam....squirtdevious

umbral holly
#

i have everything bastion on steam, i love it that much

spark mulch
#

Wow

umbral holly
#

even the level 5 and foil badge

spark mulch
#

Bastion is my favorite by them

fallen tangle
#

Ah, a man of culture I see.

glossy pelican
#

anyone pick up the Bastion PS4 game on LimitedRunGames?

mint drum
#

I’m thinking about it even though I don’t own a ps4

glossy pelican
#

they just announced that 300 copies will be signed randomly. So maybe time to test my luck!

hollow pilot
#

If you had to play with all Idols on except one, which one would you leave turned off?

#

I think either Roathus or Micia? I haven't played in a while

#

Jevel makes a pretty huge difference too though... hmm...

#

Actually looking back on it, Pyth is probably the most game changing right? Without it you can out smart pretty much anything I think?

quartz plover
#

That reminds me I was in the middle of a Bastion playthrough with all idols activated

#

College pulled me away from it :(

hollow pilot
#

Bastion was the first game I ever streamed lol

#

It's been a while since I've played again

vague gull
#

A signed copy of bastion 👀 hello?? I preordered mine so I hope I’m lucky

raven root
#

signed copies of Bastion what? Where was this announced?
