Wow I really hate this.

Huh, I actually don't really mind it now that they showed more of the game. Looks like an acid-induced fever dream,

Jesus, there's way too much going on in the game now. Why make everything so cluttered looking when the game looked so clean and easy to understand what was going on before?

>we want the LOLSORANDOM crowd

This is even more unappealing than cosmos transition

It actually looks really nice but the character design and animations are 100% trash

Why are all you cry babies so triggered. It's literally the same game just with a different art style.

>Why make everything so cluttered looking when the game looked so clean and easy to understand
because now it has ART STYLE who cares about functionality when you have ART STYLE I mean who cares if it looks like shit? at least you hired a real artist so your game have ART STYLE

But people are largely criticizing the art style user.
You didn't post without reading the thread did yooooooou?

>Add a whole bunch of new classes
>Same game

Explain what's wrong with it?

It looks like the same combat that we all know and love.

Is this the most aesthetically unpleasing game to date?

What's wrong g is that it doesn't look simple.
It doesn't even look accidentally bad, it looks deliberately disgusting.

This actually looks great.

Where can I acquire some friends to play this?

That's because it is deliberate. The art style is replicating the 90s extreme/ugliness. Original was 80s Atari style and now we're moving on to 90s SNES/Genesis.
Think Clayfighter, Boogerman, Ballz 3D, Battletoads, Rock 'n' Roll Racing. Games like that.

fuck. It went from cool castles and dungeons to garbage pail kids land. LAME

...

Level design looks great, new weapons are welcome addition. Character design is lumpy and awful - it's the only reason I won't be buying it

Clayfighter never looked like this. Don't give me that shit. If you are going to say something like that how about you show some proof?

Not exactly, no. It just belonged to a similar visual design philosophy of being exaggerated and gross.

So much this.

...

>clay fighter didn't look ugly

looks like shit compared to the first one but it's way better than what they initially were gonna have it look like

I never said it didn't look ugly, it level looked rancid and repulsive. The ugliest thing was the horsemans head exploding when he died.

looks good, wont play it though

JUST

What was it originally gonna look like?

Like naked Homer Simpsons tweening all over the place

to me characters look wobbly and deliberately goofy (for what purpose?) animations look ... ehhh
the first game, even with shit barebones art, looked more tight/stylish

Homer Simpson.

the grossness in the art style is great but those animations are fucking terrible

Any images?

It takes two seconds to search it up yourself. It takes roughly 20 for someone to save and upload an image.

>shit barebones art
is this actually the audience of the first game? is this why no one likes the new one?

looking at the achievements on steam, it looks like there is a way to have it look like the previous game

yea it's good that it's gross but it's terrible that they're not like Dapper Lads.
like it should just be disgusting deaths and just completely disgusting environments and they're just Really Dapper Lads.
that's what they should've done.

Lmao found it. I didn't realize you could type in 'Nidhogg 2 Homer' and find it.

I don't think it is but something about it is just so off putting, they clearly put effort but it just look unpleasant

it was serviceable programmer's art, everybody knew, but at least it was not obnoxious

But that's awful, there's nothing appealing about it. You look at those games you are glad we left that shit behind, similar to PS1 Era CGI.

I'm going to just assume the minimalist Atari art style saved us from having to deal with their bad art direction.

>hiding the like/dislike bar and comments
Never a good sign.

A generation leap in graphics.

>comments are disabled for this video

Well now I can skip this hot turd for sure now. Zero reason to play it over the first.

>hey let's take our fast paced one-hit kill game and make it unreadable

I unironically like this, far better than the new one

Like, the art wasn't good, but it was pretty clear what was going on at all times. Now it just looks like a jumbled mess.

>Hidden likes/dislikes and comments
Is there a surer sign to confirm that your game is shit?

You finally have a budget and you waste it on puppet rigs?

miyazaki is just being a cunt in that video.

He is a screenshot for the game ( sorry for poor quality)

Not sure about sound design, but visually it looks good.

It looks better than back in the first preview (more readable).

The art isn't bad at all honestly. Its well made, its pretty unique and weird. If it was any other game I would consider it gorgeous.

But yeah, not the best fit for Nidhogg.

The devs have chosen, honestly, there already was an uproar over this and they didn't change course. Pointless to make more noise now, just don't buy it if it upsets you.

I guess Ill just get in on some bundle, if gameplay is still good

your eyes are made of shit

DO THE HOMER SHAKE

i kinda agree what miyazaki was saying though even if he was being a huge cunt
but man the look on that guy's face
imagine being inspired by someone and building your life up to the point where you can meet him irl and having him shit all over you
then imagine being recorded and having that video uploaded on the internet

It looks like the exact same game with a new presentation? What's in it for me, the singleplayer gamer in 2017?

Sorry, but visually this looks atrocious. The gameplay may be a vast improvement/refinement of the original, but there is a point where graphics do indeed matter.

Friendly reminder that the developers wife gave him the idea of making the game super wacky over the minimalistic style of the original..

Same way you go from Project M to Icons: Combat Arena.

Is she sexy
I'd do anything if a sexy woman told me to do it

Wavedash Games has two (2) people from PMDT and that is it.

who gives a shit? why would you want the same minimalist style of the original? if they did i'd consider it a rehash and not something different.

>false dichotomy

...

And they have the worst ones. Strongbad is a shitter desu.

The people that the two PMDT brought on for Icons are inexperienced and have brought nothing good to the table.

The characters look like they should be wielding squirt guns, not fencing swords.

The new logo is cool though.

what the fuck it looks like a cross between garbage pail kids and the they might be giants "The Mesopotamian" music video

no game should be like this

At least Nidhogg looks playable and somewhat fun. Icons looks both ugly and bad.

This

/r/ing this picture but with WoW expansions.

>game based around reading movements and reacting appropriately
>You know what would help? A million fucking things on screen and janky as fuck animation.

They were trying really hard to get the adult swim crowd with their "look it's ugly intentionally to stand out" bullshit and failed miserably.

this

it looks better?

jesus. the scenarios look amazing but those characters are just disgusting. also there is too much going on imo. they should have keep it simple

Sorry what are you two talking about? Sounds interesting.

...

Well, a lot of effort went into the art and it is... interesting.

But it looks fucking awful.

>adult swim crowd
Holy shit you're right user. I'd been wondering what this game reminded me of.
It's Mr. Pickles, the game

They went from dark, barbaric, minimalist fencing game to ugly, wacky, Adult Swim-inspired smash bros clone.

>votes and comments disabled

LOL

I think it'd be at least salvageable if the characters didn't look so distinctly unlikeable. How am I supposed to feel about them? They're neither cool nor cute, inspiring nor menacing. They literally look like retarded deformed people. And I'm supposed to believe they're master fencers? it almost makes me feel hatred for the developers just for thinking these characters were passable, that's how bad they are

Yeah I'll bet he was carrying around some kind of moe anime doll or some shit. Miyazaki just spitting some hard truth.

It's Mr. Pickles, the meme.

we want the twitch audience
xD

describe arcana heart to a 14 year old girl and tell her to draw it, you get skullgirls.
describe nidhogg to a 14 year old boy that never showers and tell him to draw it, you get this shit.

...

As a 14 year old boy who never showers, I'm actually offended you nerdturd.

MODS

Nevermind.

Arcana Heart looks like trash. Skullgirls looks like Beauty and the Beast compared to it.

honestly I think the backgrounds and stuff are a huge step up but the character animations and models remain pig disgusting. What a shame.

god dammit

I don't see a problem

likes and dislikes are hidden too
