Does Dead Cells get more varied? I watched my bro play it for a few hours and it looked fun at first but it looked like after dying a few times, running through rearranged versions of the same corridors was getting tiresome. Binding of Isaac and Gungeon have a huge pool of item drops to vary the experience per run but from what I was seeing that didn't seem to be the case with Dead Cells?

Your Computer posted:Don't worry, this is literally the only quest like this that I've found and I've gone through most of the game now. It put me off too (wonder how much of that was the translation team) but it's not representative of anything else in the game at all. Heath posted:Video games are neither political statements, nor are they real. What? All media is implicitly political... but forget implicitly, how do you read that little story and not see anything overtly political? And I think I was clear that my issue was I wanted Octopath to be comfy, and the expressed politics were not comfy to me. If you only care about things that are real, how can you have feelings about stories at all? I hope I'm actually addressing what you mean, because I'm having a hard time understanding where you're coming from.

Waffle! posted:How many games have y'all double dipped on? I've got: Binding of Issac, Hollow Knight, Lumines, Sky Rogue, Neurovoider, Wizard of Legend, Enter the Gungeon, Neon Chrome, and soon Dead Cells. They're all great games. Mario Kart 8 (sort of, was able to trade the Wii U version for like $35,) Hyrule Warriors (similar trade-in,) Binding of Isaac, Puyo Puyo Tetris, Ikaruga, Minecraft, Enter the Gungeon, Shovel Knight.

Even a corporate product must pass the muster of said corporations "unspoken" politics to even exist, this means, depending on said product, one feature or another is missing or improved upon. Every choice made is a political one. The only thing for children is that idea your slinging.

There was a paypal gifts thing where you could get a 45 dollar code for 40 dollars or it was 50 for 45 or something. That was sometime in June I think so I doubt it's still going. I don't like the minecart levels of Captain Todd. The are already kind of lame, plus I have to get up and grab my switch so I can actually play them with gyro controls.

Heath posted:It's media for children. Don't take it that seriously. Video games and the things that happen in them are not political statements. It's just a story. That said, as a matter of principle, what the heck are you on about? What could be more serious than overt politics in children's media? How on earth is a story explicitly about how oppressed and privileged classes should interact not a political statement? Maybe the authors were just thinking "wouldn't this be a funny twist" without the intent of "making a political statement," but a political statement was definitely made in the process. This isn't children's media by my understanding, but wouldn't that make it more serious if it was? That would be a hosed up thing to teach kids, if that's what was going on, and it seems like a pretty reasonable thing to get upset at. "Just a story" is such a weird thing to say. Stories are the way people understand things. That seems like it could be important to me. Though I'll reiterate- none of that principle stuff was what my initial post was about. I have no thoughts whatsoever on how socially responsible Octopath Traveler is or anything like that. It was just my personal reaction. But if you want to make it a matter of principle, then I've got to say I take issue with your perspective.

One sidequest ruining a game for you is stupid. Claiming that stories don't have politics in them because they are video games and not real is far stupider. Is Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime basically Overcooked in Space?

Jables88 posted:One sidequest ruining a game for you is stupid. Claiming that stories don't have politics in them because they are video games and not real is far stupider. I wouldn't call it that. But it is similar in that each person needs to take on multiple roles (steering, shooting, checking map, etc). It's fun nonetheless. There's an upcoming game--and it's too early to say if it's gonna be good--that I would say looks much more like Overcooked in space, Catastronauts. Aside from the visual style, the gameplay also looks like Overcooked and FTL had a baby and if the reviews are good my friends and I are gonna be all over it.
