I’m playing legend of mana and holy poo poo this game looks amazing. This is crazy. And I have to acknowledge that even as a registered hater of the mana series and its overall aesthetic

What do you think of calling the “Survivors” genre, Bullet Heaven games? To be clear, not my invention.

if there's Bullet Hell, where you must course an arduous path through the bullets at lightning speed, that implies there's a Bullet Heaven, where you eat garlic and watch the flashing light show

I like it, but I think the ship has already sailed with most people calling them survivors/survivors-likes and it's gonna be really hard to shift the needle.

I thought survival games were the ones where you gather rocks and sticks

It's fascinating how the video game industry constantly comes up with nonsensical genre names that tell you nothing about the game you're playing.

Bullet Heaven doesn't even make sense for most survivorlikes including Vampire Survivors where bullets are not even a primary component of the game

I've never even heard of Survivorlikes before today. And how can it be a Survivorlike if no one's starving on a desert island?

I didn't realise we were calling them anything else hatty posted:the worst name always gets chosen like "shmup" "soulslike" and "metroidvania" you can't fight gamer society Yeah, I like the name "character action" for things like DMC well enough, but Yahtzee came up with "spectacle fighter" like a decade ago and that describes them way better. Never caught on

Sorry, pops. I'm not into Roguelikes, like Darkest Dungeon. I'm into Roguelites, like Slay The Spire. Not sure what that Matrix looking crap is????

A lot of Japanese games have the right idea and treat their genre as an additional tag line. Tactical Espionage Action, Dramatic Adventure.

I tried to get into Hollow Knight again yesterday but it might just be too hard for me. I really loved Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, but for whatever reason that didn't seem as punishing when respawning from a bonfire. I definitely didn't play that on hard mode. I love the HK aesthetic, the weirdness, and the music is incredible. Maybe I'll try a little more. Some bug just told me to meet him in Hollownest but who knows where that is lol.

When you are in the place you are supposed to be Hollow Knight is great. When you realize you are in the rear end end of nowhere dead end it loving sucks

You know who I wondered where they went is the actor Bryan Dechart. His and Hank's relationship in Detroit Become Human is the only good thing in that game. But looking at imdb and he doesn't have a credit after Cyberpunk.
