Linux Support makes me very happy! :D
Third article somewhat about Bomb Rush Cyberfunk! I know I know ..
I got recommended a YouTube Video about Essential Mods! (right after I wanted to stop playing xD)
And, guess what! My complaints get addressed with some very simple mods! I normally stay pretty vanilla, don't mod anything .. but damn, these are good. I didn't get all .. but I got these, and they made my experience even more enjoyable! I tested for like five minutes, so I cannot say that much for every mod, but I already felt the difference!
- FinalScoreDisplay: Shows you what your final score will be with the multiplier. I love this, such a simple addition but I like seeing I have like 2 million points with the multiplier :>
- GimmeByBoost: To be honest, I didn't even notice your boost got emptied when you changed areas, but this is also a simple small change that makes a lot of difference
- DayNightCycle: Very moody to have the time of day change. Also a no-brainer, really. Only gripe I had, I started it and it was night, and it was WAY too dark. Gotta adjust the configs tomorrow!
- SkyboxScroller: Didn't see this in action yet (dark cause of night, see above), but it's supposed to make the sky move.
- QuickCharacterAndMoveStyleSwapper: Didn't try this so far, on the site they only advertise keyboard shortscuts and I use a controller, but I will write them down at some point probably, it sucks having to use up a bathroom if I simply want to change my outfit. Like, they get locked for some time, even if you use them when you hadn't had heat. I didn't play around with styles much yet but I should, haven't used the bike yet really.
THE BEST ONES FOR LAST
- DisableAnnoyingCutscenes: I haven't seen it in action yet, just went in for a quick try to see if the mod works, but this is supposed to remove the cop cutscenes (among other things, hopefully nothing important). Like, that was my main gripe, that it took you out of gameplay after you sprayed like one graffiti, first you get the turrets, then the armored guys.. this mods just removes those cutscenes! Don't get me wrong, sorry developers, I'm sure they took time, they are cool but I don't want to see them that often and I don't want to be interrupted.
- DontSetMySpeedPLS: Apparently, your speed gets set to a value when you do certain moves, like hitting a corner. This mod makes that your speed is added instead. I played for like 5 minutes for testing mods, and I immediatly I noticed, it felt more buttery smooth and nice. Apparently there is also a short hop option, not sure what it does (or I didn't see during my short testing). But so far, this mods felt so great!! Reminded me of the speed mechanic in Jet Set Radio Future, where tricks while grinding made you faster (this apparently gets added too!). It just made everything feel better, I love this!
And! It's super easy to mod the game, even on Linux! You can get r2modman, which has a Linux AppImage! So you can use it on any distro. You don't have to screw around with Protontricks profiles :D And even better, download mods in there directly, have different profiles, etc etc. (you can even edit the mod configs directly!). I got everything I wanted setup in like a few minutes, so yeah! Try that if you have the same gripes that I had! I already tried and it felt really great! Had a lot of fun going around the mall looking for Shine, and I even found a hidden graffiti in the warehouse :D
