Darkest Dungeon doesn't have a lose state ATM. The worst that can happen is that you run out of money so you have to hire adventurers, send them out without supplies and then fire them when the come back insane.

Oh, that's kinda disappointing, I just assumed so because of the other roguelike elements. Is it something they plan to add?

No idea but honestly the game doesn't suffer at all without one. The game is all about trying to build up your heroes that could die at any time and being able to just lose the game completely wouldn't really add anything interesting to that.

Well those videos were enough to convince me to buy Darkest Dungeon. Poor Reynauld, the guy was dealing with so much poo poo that is was only a matter of time before he snapped.

I would love to see them revisit the game later when the development is further along, hopefully one of them will notice that you can have 11 heroes by then.

It was really frustrating seeing them miss stuff or get mechanics wrong :(

I dunno, for their first or second time going through the game, I thought they did alright. Then again, I didn't really know much about the game before watching the videos, so I don't really know what else they got wrong. The max heroes thing just stuck out to me because you could see the number right above the hero list while they were debating over which guy to take.

Oh yeah, they definitely didn't do badly but not noticing the positional stuff for the jester, missing the fact that the roster was 11 heroes, missing that that could use holy water on the confessional booth and not realizing that the torch burns down during battles stood out.

I would definitely watch more once the game is further along though.

Late reply, but this was pretty good, they even showed off the unlockables. Liam is right, light-gun games are really hype. I wish they could have pulled off rescuing the President on camera though, just to hear Matt's reaction to the Presidential High Five.

How are the gang's typing skills? Having them play hotseat Typing of the Dead would be pretty funny. Overkill has some pretty funny word/zombie pairings and boss paragraphs.

I wanna see Darkside Chronicles, maybe as a one-off sometime, if only because I love it when they poo poo-talk Umbrella Chronicles. Also cause Pat loves RE2 and the game turns a lot of kinda boring bossfights into cooler ones. Especially that one Tyrant in Code:Veronica who goes out with a bang.

They did fine, it's just Darkest Dungeon has the same problem Hearthstone does where the only gameplay is making decisions, so when you watch someone new (or bad) at the game make the wrong decision over and over it can wear at you. Thankfully Liam jumped on Pat early and convinced him to just kill dudes instead of using AoE attacks to do a whopping 2 more damage. It's a shame they struggled with party composition and unit positioning but the way you learn in this game is by loving up and getting everyone murdered.

To add to this, they are making a first look video, which leads them to rush more than is advisable for the sake of the viewers. I'm sure Pat would spend an hour just in the village min-maxing the party if he was by himself, which is probably how you're supposed to do it. And hey, getting to see a great triumph followed by a terrible failure is perfect for showing the game off.

I'm poking fun at the few people in the X thread all like 'yup, that's how tits work, great job.'

The joke being that the game had promise up until the boob slider appeared and welp, there goes all the good will it had before.

I'm not reading that thread but let me take a guess:

Goon 1 complains about the anime.
Goon 2 ironically posts about how they love the anime but actually they dont care about the anime.
Goon 3 genuinely likes anime and posts about how they like anime.
Goon 2 ironically responds but seriously only actually ironically you guys they don't REALLY like anime pff ha ha can you imagine.
Goon 1 votes 1, buys the game anyway.

I think the mechs are pretty stupid but yeah the gameworld looks really awesome. Hopefully the character models are the only weak part of the game. They kinda were for XC too.

Is it wanting to just see big robots fighting each other without anime characters talking?

That was a big problem with the first Transformers movie, among other things, if you subtract anime from that first sentence.

I just typically don't like the action in 90% of giant robot stuff. There's some obvious exceptions like Gurren and G Gundam but for the most part it doesn't appeal to me in that medium. Couldn't really tell you why.
