To ask the thread a similar question: are there any pays of a game you love that other people seem to hate?

Like, for example, one of my favorite parts of Gunstar Heroes is the dice maze and I was really surprised to find out years later on the internet that people apparently hate that part and consider it a flaw in an otherwise perfect game.

I loved the Deep Roads in DAO

I like huge slogs like that in general makes me feel like im really venturing into some unknown place

I run past enemies in every game that lets me because it feels like I'm breaking the law more than actually inflicting violence on them

Regarding the whole "list things you love that others hate!" thing, it's so much easier for me to think of things I don't like that other people do like. It's probably not a good thing so I'm going to think about that tonight as I lie in bed

You should think instead about heat signature and how it's extremely good.

Like the other day, when the slipstream I used wore off and I wound up running full bore through a plate glass window into space.

Ships (the levels) seem procedurally generated, items in the shops are random, characters start with seemingly randomized gear and a randomized personal mission, if you die you just roll another while the galaxy progression continues.

So kind of?

It's actually not much of one considering the difficulty can be forgiving and any death doesn't actually make you lose a whole lot. At the same time, it follows design queues from roguelikes with permadeath and a large part of the fun coming from figuring out clever uses of the items you've found to overcome more powerful and numerous enemies.

I guess that doesn't help much, so my best advice is to watch some gameplay.

It would be cool if the Japanese version of Headdy could get rolled into an English release. There are a bunch of cosmetic changes that look cooler, like the cat is smiling and creepy as his head flops around.

Dynamite Headdy is such a unique, cool game. I hope they never ever remake it. *looks at the mediocre Rocket Knight remake wistfully*

i'm glad someone did a full translation of the japanese version cause the dialog is really funny and all the difficulty changes sound kinda rear end. having a level called "toyz n the hood" is amazing though

also i'm glad headdy will never get a remake cause bangai-o hd sucked rear end and treasure is dead

it sucks that sin & punishment 2 is like the last thing treasure released before basically dying, and even around then it's kind of surprising how good it was for how much they'd dried up since the early ps2 era. you've got like six years of gently caress-all after that and they haven't done anything since the pc port of ikaruga

i almost finished a route of guardian heroes on a saturn emulator once and then the game froze
