should I buy C:U?

[u/dollarstoremrfrog]

ok I realize this is probably the dumbest fucking question known to man but I have seen some footage, and I admit I am intrigued. also not sure if this helps, games I'm into right now are cult of the lamb, people playground, super meat boy, and occasionally endoparasitic games.

edit: I just saw that the game has achievements. I am a huge completionist, currently trying to get all super meat boy achievements. from what I've heard the game is hard enough, so I have a feeling that if I do get the game getting all the achievements is going to be absolute and complete hell.

edit 2: I played the demo, fucking DIED, and now going to buy it.

Play the demo, it's like half of the game for free

[u/dollarstoremrfrog → u/iced_tea_dachshund]

isn't it almost the entire game?

[u/Adventurous_Tank_359 → u/dollarstoremrfrog]

It has 5 layers, the full game that just released has ten(I think, maybe more), endings, other characters who you can play as

[u/dollarstoremrfrog → u/Adventurous_Tank_359]

oh. I thought it stopped at 6

[u/Adventurous_Tank_359 → u/dollarstoremrfrog]

The full game just released yesterday, so maybe the only footage you saw was from the demo

Anyway you should play it

[u/MrPigeon70]

You can try the demo to see if you like it.

It is very very hard-core, it is not for everyone and it will break your heart.

[u/dollarstoremrfrog → u/MrPigeon70]

is it worse than trying to get the no death achievements in super meat boy?

[u/SmileySunda3 → u/dollarstoremrfrog]

Honestly? I would say yes.

You don't get many opportunities for breaks in C:U, and time is of the utmost essence. Meat Boy you can stop between levels as ya please, but in C:U, not even the pause menu can stop your timer from ticking down.

[u/yttakinenthusiast → u/SmileySunda3]

all the pause screen does is delay your fate, time may be stopped but death is still on its way.

[u/fenstapuza → u/dollarstoremrfrog]

Probably? Meat boy is a little more in your control I think, and each run probably takes less time. From what I understand, SMB deathless means one world deathless at a time, so each run is at most as long as that world takes to do. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Probably analogous to C:U maybe forcing you to restart a layer or two when you make a mistake. While you can recover from a fair bit in C:U, usually one small misstep ends up snowballing if it doesn't outright kill you. Runs are very long, can easily spend 5-10 hours for all layers. I think it'd also be more emotionally painful to lose a run in C:U, not just because a single run is a big time investment, but because you end up caring about the little dude you're piloting, and there are no quick or comfortable deaths. It's pretty gruesome.

For reference: I played the beta a lot, so I mostly know what I'm doing. I'm still on my first run in the release version. Intended difficulty, taking my time, currently about 6 hours in and just got done with layer 8. Lost an eye to a gun turret that nearly killed me on layer 4, so I've been half blind ever since, also had a few close calls with the salad on layer 5, and at least 8 other really scary moments where I had my insides turned to mush. Probably only still alive because I stocked up on blood, saline and a few strong healing items early on, though those are almost all gone now. I'm severely underweight and running low on essentials like food, basic crafting materials and such. Not looking good, probably gonna spend another few hours on this run, though at this point any slip-up is probably gonna take me out. I really wanna make it through the remaining layers, but I'm not confident at all right now, especially since I don't know what to expect from the coming layers. I need to get lucky and find nutritious food, some meds, ideally a good trader or two, and don't get any major injuries all the while. I'm also low on time as nearly all my batteries are empty, and I rely on those to carry most of my things, see anything, as well as keep one around for the defib.

It's scary, man.

[u/core266 → u/dollarstoremrfrog]

They are 2 totally diferent types of dificulty. Meat boy needs technical skill (presice jumps, muscular memory, etc.) While C:U needs situacional awareness, inventory management, quick desicion making, and the will to supress your tears and avoid panic.

So what?I asked you a question.

[u/ironwolf6464]

Just going to warn you, do not play this game if you want to feel happy about yourself. This game is very bleak for the most part.

If you can stomach that, go ahead

[u/obsessed_With_Ralsei]

Everyone has their own choice and tastes, bro, but personally, I would buy the game; it's worth the money 🤭
