If you have - well, you already know how good it is, right? Reinstall it and have another crack this evening - Rucks is waiting for you. If you’ve never given it a whirl, I’d urge you to change that immediately. But all of the DNA that makes a Supergiant game emphatically that - a Supergiant game - is traceable back to Bastion, a wonderful little text that played a huge role in shaping the games industry as we know it. Supergiant has launched hit after hit ever since, with Transistor, Pyre, and Hades all having established themselves as indie darlings beloved to critics and fans alike. Not ideal but its a simple fix without having to mess with a bunch of control panel setting. If anyone else has the issue, I plugged in my USB headphones and the sound works fine that way. I did change to 5.1 speakers recently but no idea. Now when I re-installed it I am not getting any with speakers. Ultimately, though, the people reading this are either aware of all of those elements from having played Bastion already or should experience them for themselves without any sort of premonition or predilection.īastion is ten years old today. Not sure why this is happening as I played it previously with sound. I could talk about combat, characters, and the Calamitous world. I could talk about music - The Pantheon still slaps, and when Zulf’s and Zia’s themes combine for Setting Sail, Coming Home you’re hit with what is probably the single best use of music in a game to date. You can’t mess about with a new weapon, a new means of traversing this world while stamping your own distinct mark on it, and then say, ‘Okay, time for bed.’ You can’t ignore Logan Cunningham’s post-apocalyptic Tom Waits narration, every word sounding like the grizzled grunt of a sentient cigar drenched in whiskey. It’s not something you can really look away from. I could play Bastion any time I wanted - we were getting a flight to Osaka like two days later, at which point a short, compact, brilliant little odyssey like this would be perfect. ‘What’s the harm in having a little looksy, eh?’Ībout five hours later my friend was like, here, Cian, what are you actually at? We’re halfway across the world and you’re huddled up in a cheap hostel bunk bed pure button-mashing. But then I saw it - Bastion for two quid. I was too busy wandering the streets of Golden Gai, listening to System of a Down in cramped bars with cold Asahi.
#BASTION GAME HEADPHONES INSTALL#
I thought it would be sound to install a couple of games for him so they were ready to go as soon as I handed it to him - genuinely, at the time, I had no intention of playing anything. I’d told my younger brother I’d pick him up a Nintendo Switch Lite on account of them being considerably cheaper in Japan, but there were about three weeks between my Akihabaran adventure and catching a flight back to Dublin. I think my last experience with it was during a trip to Tokyo with a close friend of mine back in 2019. I’ve replayed Bastion several times since.
