Quick Look: Nidhogg

I've been on the fence about whether or not to buy this game!

This just costs too much for what it is

I've bought this already but yay for cool video games.

Man when do you people sleep? Or are these in those fabled other lands...

EDIT - World Tree Vinny, but spectacular call.

40 seconds in an I'm already impressed with Vinny's knowledge about norse mythology

Nidhögg.

Why is Brad in every video, I get that they don't have a lot of staff but every quicklook has been Jeff and Brad so far.... with Vinny sometimes.

I think you answered your own question.

@thelegendofmart: umm...well, there aren't a whole lot of other options. Who else are you expecting in Quick Looks?

Probably because Jeff and Brad are the only editors left in the office? Vinny and Brad are video guys, Alexis is an Engineer, and Patrick and Alex are on the East Coast.

Drew? Rorie? Gamespot guys?

Touché

Seems neat but seems like it needs more... something... I dunno. Maybe twice the amount of stages or something.

THIS. GAME. IS. THE. BEEEEEEEESSST!!

How is 12 bucks too much for a super fun game?

This dude, haha

@brad: If you parry an opponents lunge enough times they drop their sword. It feels like it's if you move your sword to the height they are attacking after they have started their lunge, but it's too quick to tell really. You can't drop your sword if you don't lunge, I know that much.

Holy shit, it's too early in the morning to be laughing like this. Vinny is just the greatest.

FGC, pick this up, please

Wow, Nidhogg seems really awesome. Too bad nobody's playing it?

PS: It's $12 on the Humble Store right now. Still a little pricey, though. :/

GET THAT DICK.

This seems pretty awesome for local coop. Too bad I don't know anybody to play it with so I'm gonna pass.

I...what was that?

Ha ha, what a hilariously silly game! Real fun to watch too.

What an awesome game for a quick look!

I wish I had more opportunities to play this locally since that seems to be where Nidhogg shines. At least they included online play. I'm looking at you, Samurai Gunn!

This game looked hype, and when I played it...it WAS HYPE.

Well we know 1 game that's gonna get played this Friday

For some reason I got bored from watching in 6min. I'll pass.

I am pro Boomerang sword.

@thelegendofmart: Drew is on the video production team. Rorie is community support. This isn't Gamespot. Jeff and Brad are the only editors left at the office. This isn't the good old days when there was a herd of interns.

This QL was hilarious, hope they play some of this on UPF.

BOOMERANG SWORDS FTW

This QL was so good.

This game was done during a mystery video game tournament for the grand finals of Northwest Majors in 2012, and it was pretty entertaining!

GET THAT DICK!

Thought this game might be too close to Samurai Gunn but it looks amazing.

nee(as in need) th(as in the) hug(as in hug) nee-th-hug . This probably the closest to the original pronunciation of Níðhögg(ur), so well done dudes.

All that Persona 4 paid off.

Glad to see Brad doesn't fail to be a pissy baby, complaining about how the mechanics are failing him rather than him sucking but whatever.

I will never understand people who look at this game and don't just see pure joy. Pure joy forever. The animations, oh god.

I might anger some folks with this, but Nidhogg > Samurai Gunn

This needs to be the final game at UFGT this year. Mystery game tournament always brings the hype.

Watching Vinny play this makes me want to raaaaaaaaaage

But it's a valid strategy.

Brad sucks at games

This game looks amazing, and this QL was super great. The tear Brad went on towards the end was a thing of beauty

"WHAT DID I SAY"

good graphics

"I SAID GOOD GRAPHICS"

This game looks like it might supply the two or three people I play local video games with/against half an hour of fun each. Having said that, I would like to buy it for two dollars and fifty cents. Fifteen dollars, however? Nope.

This looks great.

Such a fun QL. The game looks great, easily worth the asking price for me if I had People to play this with on local multiplayer.

I would totally play this game online with friends. Local is fun for a reason, but it's not the end all be all. The price is the hardest sell. Looks like a lot of fun, though. I'll have to badger some buddies to get it when it goes on sale.

Vinny's style did sort of annoy me at first, but then I realized that it's sort of the point. On offense your goal is to get to the end, and on defense your goal is to stop that person from doing so. If you've got the arrow, fighting is only a means to an end if you have to do it.
