Bastion Soundtrack - The Sole Regret

[maxrhulsman]

kid has the nerve to shine the shield he stole...

[BorisNaruto2]

@maxrhulsman it was his shield

[darklol261]

@BorisNaruto2 *facepalm*

[BorisNaruto2]

@darklol261 if you listened,the narrator said his shield was lying on the ground.

[darklol261]

@BorisNaruto2 Have you even completed the game?...

[BorisNaruto2]

@darklol261 yes.

[darklol261]

@BorisNaruto2 Then you should know that line from the bog area.

It sounds like Matt Uelmen walked in while they were writing this and decided to contribute.

[Airedar]

This is a ridiculous game. Not in the bad sense, mind. Just the way it approaches everything forces you to stand back and give it a second look. You can't NOT think for this game, and every choice that's given, every action that you can or will take is as real and valid as any other. It's not that it's balanced. Each weapon is hilariously overpowered in the right place. It's that the game gives enough emotional, moral, and physical wiggle room to suit anyone. It's ridiculous. I love it anyway.

[Lazermatt]

Got a very Original Warish feel to it. Love it.

[dirnae]

What he said. Calamity Cannon could be a real pita tbh, The Carbine fully upgraded was easily the best weapon, imo.

[Alex25025]

@dirnae the carbine was sweet, but the Breakers Bow also did a ton of damage when fully upgraded. Very few enemies could survive it's powershot, and if you had poisoned arrows, it would kill them before you could even shoot again

[hockeater]

@Alex25025 To that I say mortar as a ranged weapon. With the right upgrades it's basically as fast, hurts more, will probably hit more enemies, and can be lobbed over that pillar or other piece of scenery you ran behind for a breather. Also melee pike destroys faster and more well armored opponents. Congratulations unless you're using idols you've pretty much trivialized the enemies. Even more so with the right spirits.

[Alex25025]

@hockeater yeah, but bow could pierce through multiple enemies and you could upgrade it to do double damage... nothing would survive that, if enemies lined up you could hit a bunch even if they werent in a tight formation, and u get the mortar pretty late in the game.

[hockeater]

@Alex25025 You know how much the guy who has beaten the game twice, gotten to maximum level, acquired every weapon, upgraded them all to maximum, bought all the spirits and used a fully upgraded bow before ever touching the mortar cares about when in the story you get a weapon? I'll let you guess. Also increased blast radius. They don't have to be close. Just in the general area. I see that more often than lines. Further mine does more damage and more still with improved crit chance.

[hockeater]

@Alex25025 Second off mortar can go over objects in the game world allowing you to shoot from temporary safety quite often. Combine with quick aim upgrade to bomb spam. Combine with better crit chance and double crit damage for profit. Finally extra base damage means this thing hits harder than calamity cannon. Finally immunity to your own bombs upgrade means that unlike calamity cannon it's impossible to kill yourself with this thing.

[ScFirestorM]

@hockeater My basic weapon set is the Dueler Pistols and the Scrap Musket. The pistols were kinda just space fillers as I have both the range upgrades and the upgrade which reduces ranged penalty on it...

[hockeater]

@ScFirestorM A fair choice for non idle play I'll admit. With idols though the musket damage goes down to hilarious extremes. Pistols are okay but not as good as a well upgraded mortar with smart choices. This at least was my take after experimentation.

[ScFirestorM]

@hockeater I did have SOME idols on... Not many at all... Just the ones that make the enemy regen hp and drop explosives when they die...

[hockeater]

@ScFirestorM Try the damage resistance, chance to deflect, and chance to become intangible idols. Trust me the bullets will not do crap. Combine with faster enemies and your life becomes near impossible with that loadout.

[PortalFreak1996]

@hockeater activate ALL the idols. no seriously i mean it as soon as you get idols just use all of them. you'll get used to the difficulty and get a lot better and get a whole lot of experience for it

[hockeater]

@PortalFreak1996 I have. I was just telling him that some loadouts are much worse for this than others. Spear and Mortar was my answer to the new challenges. Well that and using an entirely new set of spirits to optimize damage and healing output in the new situations presented. Many of those choices geared around making potions obsolete because they just weren't as available.

[exaltedraven]

The calamity cannon's pretty good (when upgraded).

But even it is no match for a good Carbine!

[asparagusoffice]

@DuddBudda I don't think they would do that. They were smart enough to have made this game in the first place.

[asparagusoffice]

@neushoofdep It's pretty terrible against anything but the Ura.

But once you get the final upgrade (homing missiles or damage fields), it becomes a game breaker. :/

[neushoofdep]

Does anybody use the calamity canon? Becuz i think it sucks

[Balmung6]

@neushoofdep It's not bad if you upgrade it.

[DuddBudda]

@neushoofdep

I refused to use it on principle

[NerdWorldWill]

Percy the snitch didn't make it....... never liked that smile of his anyway.

[GwresYnKernow]

Does the soundtrack (and the game, I guess, in places) remind anyone else of the Dark Tower series? Particularly Wizard and Glass?

[Lejendary2]

@GwresYnKernow Definitely reminds me of the city of Tul.  Maybe even the huge metropolis that Blaine was chilling in

[devbpoll2]

can anyone figure out the guitar part for me?

[GreckoMoka]

this song remind me a mexican band called Malkuth MX

[MikeldigraSkyStrider]

this song reminded me of diablo 1

[DuddBudda]

@MikeldigraSkyStrider

Good News Everyone! I heard something about a sequel...

[CorrinMovies]

no quote?

[verg77]

@CorrinMovies Rondy always wanted his ashes scattered here...

[CorrinMovies]

@verg77 xD

[MinecraftCraftingPro]

@verg77 HEY LOL IM CORRINMOVIES!!!

[STREETGANGTERS]

@verg77 See what the kid did to poor Rondy?

[untitled1productions]

@verg77 I broke him with my hammer in the beginning, before I realized what was happening, and then when I came back during the dream sequence in The Bog, I had to smash him apart again... it was really powerful.

[kaipakta]

I'm writing a book to this song, and other soundtracks from Bastion. The book will resemble the story in a way I guess, but it's not a copy I promise :D

[TheSpinser]

@kaipakta Can you share it when it's done? I would like to read it.

[mjrdudeify]

@kaipakta that would be a really good idea actually making a book thats similar but not the exact same

[LazyDutchman]

How has this piece of art been left unnoticed?

[Asurnasurpal]

God has this on his iPod.

[123gas321]

@Asurnasurpal God doesn't have an Ipod, all the great music is streamed into his ears via cloud power

[doombybbr]

@123gas321 and if he cared to keep in touch with us humans he could just create one.... but he doesn't bother.

[impacarnage]

@123gas321 iCloud

[Daiwiz]

@impacarnage Naw, it's the iGod

[aeromorte]
