I like it, great to play for a bit after a long game session. It looks awesome on a projector, but that also makes it a bit harder to play, hard to focus on both sides at once when they're far apart.

Why is it pretentious? I don't understand why that word always gets thrown around with indies. Giving something a bit of a back story (I wouldn't even have noticed there was one with this if it weren't for reviews) automatically makes it pretentious?


Because it tries to convey emotions thorugh the enviroments and wants to build a depper naravive then it actually. It tries a bit to hard to be artsy but just a little bit. I still liked it a lot and maybe they will be able to fullfill their ambitions in the next game. 

 

I mean some reviews really annoyed, they are whacking this game for being pretentious while giving Transistor top scores. Altough I would agree with the score of most major sites. I still really like it

I guess I like the pretentious stuff, gives it a bit of uniqueness. Sure it could have been two generic space ships flying through hoops instead of a bird and fish, yet it seems a bit more interesting this way. The after level bits are hit and miss though. Controls akward and I can see what you mean with trying a bit too hard in those parts.

Transistor deserves the better scores, the gameplay is great. I didn't like the story presentation in Transistor though, too fragmented and the nattering voice over started to grate. Sometimes just music is the better way to go.

Anyways..I'm trying to finish the challenge levels..but I'm really struggling..am i the only one finding this a bit too difficult ?


I have a high of 141 and I have trieda bout 20 times so it  is definitely difficult to even beat the first challenge level.

I like that it is a bird and a fish and I like all the setup and the cute little story, but every time I finish one of these trophies pop in and they are like "loneliness" "Liveliness" and so thats one thing that kind bothered me but again despite that I liked the game a lot.

 

This is probably the wrong Thread to discuss Transistor but I really don´t how hard it tries to be this deep and emotional experience, and the story doesn´t make any fucking sense. And I am not a huge fan of the gameplay. But hey in the end it all comes down to personal preferences right?

I have 129, I am really excited for this to come to the Vita because playing a few rounds of challenge mode while waiting in line will be great

Oh yeah, it is indeed difficult. I'm still at first stage "Water" :x My record is only about 130 points, so I need 50(!) more points, though I tried it only 3-4 times sofar.


The first stage isnt too bad...took me a while but i eventually got to 180

The second stage i thought was pretty easy and got pass that pretty quick.

But stage 3 is crazy havent managed to get past 100 and I need 140!

Yeah took me a good couple of tries before i cleared the first challenge. The 3rd stage is worse!

Theres like 0.2% of entwined players who actually got the "clear all challenges trophies" and even less have the platinum.

I haven´t even managed to crack the first 180 and tried like 15 times so far. I have 130 but I still like that

I managed to get to the third challenge

Finding it really hard to progress past that though :(
