So I found this video off of Reddit as I found your post discussing Kayla Larson and her ability to continue writing the Risk of Rain storyline, as of reading your post and watching this video, no offense but I find the thought process to be sort of narrow, but for all I know mine could be as well, but here's what I think. In the dev log 1, Kayla larson mentions that she wants to explore the unknown or unexplained aspects of the risk of rain franchise, for example she mentions 1. High court 2. The Heritics 3. The cyclops brothers, and 4. The space sickness. So in her defense I believe she is in all right mind to want to mess around with these aspects of the story for example we know that the seeker of the storm is from the high court, this is found in the verdant falls log book. So from here we are already expanding on the known universe of the high court, something that is very little explained to us, so why not learn some more about it, now I recognize you don't mention the heritics so I wont talk about them but I will talk about the cyclops gods and the space sickness, now off the bat I do agree that the space sickness is definitly just the fact that space is a vacuum, but its a video game, and fictional sci fi video game, but the issue I have with your point of view, is if we are already dealing with a story of two gods, that have the literal ability to CREATE then why wouldnt kayla larson have the ability to by chance turn the space sickness into somehting magical or special, I mean look at survivors of the void, the void is a literal place that swallows dimensions in the ability to keep its dimension stabile, yet the fog in which it emits is toxic to everything not corrupted, so if we have something like the void, and its fog, why not turn the "Space Sickness" into something that can potentially have weight to the story instead of just leaving it to an all boring "its just space bro" , now as a counter argument humans are able to travel it with the invention of space suits, and portable oxygen, but these other species, and these gods are different biological apsects than humans, so whos to say that thier only issue with space is that they would sufficate, what if the minute they touch space they just rot, or melt, who knows. Now with thier being other space cyclops gods you got to remember that the reason mythrix wanted to teleport in the first place was for the ability to seek out other beings of similar or higher power, while providence wanted to seek out weaker beings and save them. This right here is our main driving force of the risk of rain lore. SO if mythrix already planned to find higher power beings, than whos to stop kayla from writing lore about the potential higher beings that mythrix never even got the chance to meet or even explore, so I believe that kayle IS indeed in the right to want to explore newer gods or even potentially simialar gods such as other cyclops, for example something that I could think of as a quick idea is the chance that now that the gods are dead, it would be cool to see an accidental stronger force, or set of gods, or a god that maybe invade petrichor 5 somehow, or humans somehow accidently end up running into them instead.

... ok, and? imagine complaining about free content on an already large game. you don't need to force yourself to play the game for hundreds of hours if you don't have any fun. Imagine this: there are a million video games out there. play some of them.

I like the community although sometimes they get annoying with the realistic specifications of the dinosaurs, but apart from that it is full of love and great artists and many memes Me encanta cavemanon studios 🪽🎸🐊🖌️🫂

I am beyond grateful to be part of this community and can’t wait to be witness to such cooking that is brought. The feeling they invoke and bring is, genuineness. They make what they wanna make and make it in their time. I love this community and I love the creative insight they give to me

Being part of the snoot community I never cease to be amazed at the talented people that are in it. Artists, mods, voice actors and just ordinary fans of this universe. From all countries gathered a lot of talent and all work for the good of the community and their projects. We are in a small but friendly community. I really hope that doesn't change.

This guy must be AI

you dont get an opinion with only 720p videos

Hopefully he (Kayla) makes good content. We depend on him to do it!

Content, no content, you’d still be upset, personally, I’m glad they are making additional content that also isn’t just place and play. I like how they are trying to explore much more into the depths of the universe. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion, calling someone else’s stupid over a topic like this is blatantly biased and misleading

We are not sure if Hopoo's DLC2 would be even good. They were already burned out around launch of Vanilla RoR2, and SoTV development was a mess. And on top of that, SoTV logs' writing kinda sucks, its filled with meme references and overall does not add much. That it, because Hopoo outsourced SoTV writing to some random dude whose only previous work was some FNAF spin off. My point is, Gearbox actually has resources and know-how to make a polished, well thought expansion.

Gearbox is not my favorite publisher ever to be certain, but they seem to really actually give a shit about RoR. TBH I don't see a big deal what gender they give Auralionite. The false son could be a fragment of Aurelionite and thus a sort of *son* of hers, or maybe Aurelionite uses interchangeable pronouns, or maybe the False Son is simply another golem that is aware of Aurelionite. It could be a lot of things, but one thing for sure is that the deeper identity of the False Son is not known so saying "the false son is Aurelionite and the loremaster is getting the rock pronouns wrong she doesn't know the lore" is very presumptive to say the least considering the fact that she'd be the one with the ability to know what the lore is, not you or I. I went back to find hard proof that Aurelionite is the False Son as this would prove you right, but all I found was (admittedly loose) counter evidence; 30 seconds into the trailer, when a depiction of Aurelionite on the Guilded Coast is shown, the False Son says "our freedom is long overdue." Either he's saying 'our' as in all of the golems which isn't unlikely, but it could also mean 'our' as in him and Aurelionite. Who knows. Maybe the loremaster doesn't know d$ck from sh$t. I for one am cautiously optimistic. I can't say that the mobile game has inspired much faith but I'm holding out hope. After all, it's not like *we* can do anything about it either way.

Risk of Rain 2 story is already garbage lol, Risk of Rain 1's was way better

Actually the upcoming update promised item description just like the mod. I know this game has its flaws, just like any other games. If you don't like it then it's okay everyone has a game they don't like which others praise. But my personal opinion is that the binding of isaac deserves it's praise. There is a game called becropolis which isn’t really a good game but I have fun playing it, I don't think playing a "bad game" is a waste of time, as long as you enjoy it, go for it.

The way i interpreted the seeker of storm was the false son isnt golden guardian it is a mixture of the golden gaurdians influence in it being built, built by lumarians in providence image and corrupted by mythryx through the beads of fealty (though the beads arent special literally stated in log for them so thats the first strike for me) another thing i wanted to point out there is in fact a third godly being referred to but is long dead who had given a gift to providence. Yes the golden guardian being given a gender is dumb but they are not the false son because the golden guardian is gaining more influence to try and escape using the false son however i feel as if this was the worst direction to reach out for a dlc they are simply adding more to the lump of clay not refining it like how sotv did by expanding a existing part sure they are saying they are expanding the lore on the golden guardian but the golden gaurdian doesn't got lore they were made by providence with soul by varrying off of mythryx's design and was locked up by mythryx then after for having soul not much lore in prison. The false son will undoubtedly be the focus of the lore which sure they will have either a tiny amount or a whole lot of lore depending on when they decided the lost son was made which would be anywhere between game 1 and 2 but the only way to make this dlc right is by just handing us the entirety of the lore around the false son and even then thats only to keep them from expanding in the wrong direction

Agreed

I thought the same with the way the trailer looked like some generic good guy VS bad guy kind of cutscene, and how they just casually spoil all the new environments and (probably) final boss like they have no self control. Disappointing, really.

NOT ANYMORE

I just got the game yesterday so im good😊

Not anymore

Ok let me help you out. about the console situation, they have to rebuild the ENTIRE GAME from the ground up, it’s gonna be out this year in Q3 (so like 2-4 months from now) but I have to give gearbox some credit, you couldn’t rebuild a game as complex as ROR2.

The closest I can get to actually experiencing the game itself is by watching your video, lmao.

If I don't get that dlc before 2024 I definitely won't take violent actions

And still waiting....

The fact that there is more proof of an ENTIRE NEW GAME being mad then just a simple bug fix being made is outrageous all by its own.

at this point, me and my friends think its a myth, like its not happening at this point >:/

Love this game but im done, im not getting the dlc(when they finally release it)ill just play the game once in a while but personally the game is finished🤷‍♂️

thank you for the passwordd game i need a 9 minute 55 second video and you saved me

We would not be treated this way if it was hopoo porting it , it is entirely gear box fault

I gave up on playing on my xbox. Now I’m just gonna play on my laptop.

Weird and wrong points. There are plenty of resources outside of the game to show you what the items do. Not really too sure why you'd just make that up. This was basically seven minutes of "this game was way too hard for me". Totally fine to not like the game. To top it all off: "If you like this game, eat shit. I'm a professional hater and I hate on things." Find a new grind my dude.

I mean i play this game on pc so it doesnt really apply to me but it sucks ngl, its whats holding me back from getting ror2 on my switch

1 year anniversary of us not having dlc yay...

Thanks gearbox!!

Didn’t they say they are no longer rebuilding the code. And if that is true what are they doing

I am actually heartbroken, I love this game so much like I've been playing since ror1s release... I was so excited for the dlc but now I'm kinda numb to it ig and I've seen so much of the dlc already the how ever much money the dlc cost won't feel worth it tbh, don't get me wrong the dlc is amazing n so much content but I already know a lot and it sucks cause I didn't even try to figure it out, I just watched risk of rain content and found stuff out through others playing on pc. Just I want it and it gonna suck having to pay money and wait this long for it. My passion for this game is practically none and I have little to no hope n yeh.

It's been so long tbh like how and why. I want to play the void fiend and have the new items SO BAD

Porting the game isn't easy as is rebuilding the game, they can't just snap their fingers and poof dlc. They're doing what they can without rushing it a buggy mess.

For PS4 it was one of the only few online games I played and it was so fun and alive when I first got it. Now I am flabbergasted to check on this game every few months to see no update and the online mode is dead and barely working if you do find players.

Pretty sure it’s gbs fault

I learned about and first got the game on Switch not long after 1.0 released. It was almost immediately one of my favorite games. Got ror1 not long after and loved it just as much! Didn't learn about the console bugs in both until later. Got burnt out for a few months and when I came back learned pc had an update. I couldn't wait to play Bandit, he looked so fun in 3d! Little did I know it would be so many more months until console got it, with such a broken release... it was a really painful wait. About a month before SotV came out I decided to get it on pc so I wouldn't have to wait "months" longer for the dlc, and because mods looked really fun. My poor laptop doesn't run the game very well, but it was enough, and the new content was indeed cool. I eventually also got ror1 on pc for mods, and Starstorm was totally worth it. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to play the first game. I ended up preferring it over ror2 too, so I'm very excited for rorr. Anyway, back to ror2. It really sucks that console players have had to wait for such a long time for the dlc, but seeing every Hopoo comment section full of nothing but people demanding that they work faster on the game they no longer own gets tiring. I may have been able to "just get it on steam lol" but not everyone can, and they deserve to be able to play it not only with all the newest content, but in a state where everything functions as it's intended to. I hope Gearbox does something soon, their update to an existing game is seemingly progressing slower than the remake that based on the teasers has been being worked on ever since ror2 was in early access... they could at least acknowledge it or give an estimate for its release so we aren't 100% in the dark about everything Tldr: as a former console player Gearbox really needs to do something soon, though they can't really control when Hopoo releases rorr Edit: they acknowledged it! It's not much but knowing that work is happening is nice

Yeah, we’re just a minority pc is bigger then console this not even a debate how ever dlc shouldn’t be delayed or build from a ground up am sorry this sad even for me .

Yeah if we didn’t wait about a year straight, so yeah, that’s the biggest fat excuse I ever heard from a console player perspective even am a console player plus to add to that they didn’t need to bring it to the ground up why because are games mad by pc so yeah they can release it at anytime.

If it’s just the same bugs, that means it should be easy to release at a do day right like, there’s really no excuse.

I own this on Switch and PS4. At this point I’m just pissed off.

I literally search for updates weekly 😢

How about boycotting gearbox till survivors of the void on consoles?

It's saddening that an entire community is forced to bow down and wait like dogs getting a treat. It's been an ENTIRE YEAR and console is still behind in both just quality of life with the update and the DLC! Pretty soon they'll just get rid of the console version entirely because people didn't come back when they were forced to wait and watch what we're missing out on from afar. Hopoo/Gearbox need to do something soon before nobody comes back and the game is as good as dead for everyone.

Shits embarrassing the least they can do is update so we don’t slander them. They(gearbox)are just ignoring the community.

The twitter of risk of rain is constantly being reminded of "console update when?" Hopoo streams on twitch sometimes and the guy said that "we don't know, that is up to gearbox now, but their priority is the DLC and update." And you are right, just because they are an indie developer, doesn't mean we shouldn't give them a pass. PC was clearly the favor than the consoles

Keep up with the great work my man 💪🤙
