awesome guys,was expecting some harsh comments because it spits in the face of hardcore gaming and concentrates on plain fun.
what is everyones favourite bonus skill? only just worked out yesterday that battering all the other goats out of the blood ring makes the goat super buff and gives him a decent head butt.
is there a save function in the game?
woud recommend to those wondering whether to buy it-to just go ahead and get it ,if buy the hard copy it forces an update on steam before being able to play anyway so theres no getting away from it unfortunately, thats what sucks about gaming so much everything needs updating before playing now-not good for those of us on limited bandwith connections,didnt used to be like that.
back in the day we were allowed to play unpatched and it was up to us to update.
Dont worry, you can always find plenty of other forums where you'd get piles of harsh comments, as it does indeed get comments like that from some people. Often, it seems to me that those very same people dont even know what "hardcore" gaming is, but.... that's a whole other topic, really.
As for "bonus skills", or what the game refers to as Mutators, there are..... alot of them. I'm not going to give spoilers here, in case you want to figure out how to unlock these yourself, though I *think* a couple of them come unlocked from the start? There's a large number of them and a huge variety of ways that each must be unlocked. I'd say my favorites are the "Goatborn", "Devil goat", and the Minecraft one, which is the one that really surprised me. One hint though that isnt really much of a spoiler is that a few of these are gotten by collecting the golden goat trophies that are found throughout each of the two maps (30 in each). Some are in really devious locations. I *still* dont have them all for either map after what, like, 60 hours?
As for the game's updates and such, that one is up to the player. Like I said, Steam doesnt give a damn if you're online or offline or even using Steam when you go to play it. It also doesnt care if the game is unpatched. When it DOES matter is if you want to download mods, which come from the Workshop (and are fortunately very easy to use). Or if they should add a third map or something to the game (there are two right now). Many of the workshop mods are very, very worth grabbing, too. "Explosive goat" + "Ninja Goat" mods.... combine those to do something really entertaining, I'll leave you to figure out just what. I've downloaded a ton of them myself at this point. Seriously, go look at some of these. They're absolutely hilarious, though I've run into 1 or 2 that just dont want to work right (not yet anyway, the modmakers are good at updating/fixing issues with their mods, as any good modmaker should be).
Save function, it mostly just saves which of the "challenges" you've done, and which trophies on each map you've grabbed, and which mutators are unlocked.
