Dead Cells is the most mixed bag roguelite I've played. it's so fun and addicting but the seams start to show way too quickly and it just turns into a grind and the levels don't change nearly enough.

dead cells has some of the sloppiest shittiest boss design

most of these 2d dumbass roguelikes are just so the devs don't have to do the hardest part, which is make interesting and unique level designs with well designed challenges

instead they can just be like "oh lol its random, so here is just a bunch of bullshit to fight and run past"

With Dead Cells they nailed the combat and it's got a decent look with a lot of super fun weapons, but yeah the boss design is a joke and the levels are pretty sloppy and there isn't much to keep you going unless loot alone is enough.

Spelunky still stands out to me, because despite it being one of, if not the first in the genre, the level design always felt super interesting even if it was procedurally generated. There are very few games I've played that have a greater balance of risk and reward. I don't find that to be the case with most of the genre. Even games like BOI that everyone loves I couldn't get into at all.

the trick here is destructible terrain. this is why the random world generation of Terraria and Minecraft work so well. because if the random generator makes some hosed up area you can just tunnel through the walls.

I think the hair and makeup could be better but they'll probably improve on it more by the time the show comes out. Beardless Geralt makes perfect sense as well, given how it's the beginning of the series.

I think their choice for Ciri is loving poo poo though.

Ah yeah, destructible terrain. We should be glad Spelunky moved the genre forward with that, along with Nethack and other roguelikes that came before it

also the rail gun in red faction was a bad rear end gun. it had a heat sensing wallhack scope and the a.i. knew how to use it too so you had to watch your rear end or get one shotted through loving walls

Ftl on hard is a very well designed game that lets you recover from poo poo situations by having good awareness of the way the game works, and the different weapons and system combos result in all kinds of different fights.

Spelunky is fun because it was designed with the procedural level design and the gameplay mechanics actively working together. Like basically any other procedural generated game, they're more often than not just kind of completely separate?

Binding of Isaac it's just a bunch of pre-made rooms vomited into a map, with more often than not just 'gently caress you' rooms where there's stuff you just flat out can't do. Nuclear Throne is good but it's in spite of the procedural generation, since the only engagement the gameplay and the level generation have with each other is the density of enemies and like maybe an element of cover, though that's not really an explicit mechanic. Etc.

Unknown to me this is an unpopular opinion but binding of isaac is a fantastic game. The aesthetic is pretty gross but the power curve is so satisfying.

they’re all variations on the same fight with the same weapons

it’s literally either laser weapons or rockets, and the only thing that changes on each ship is how many of these it has and how many hits it can take

and the game drags on through a million of these

Rockets are a crutch that become near useless in advanced games, there are a few winning strats but because of starting loadout and luck youre always forced to adapt. The only "always good" choices are hacking and usually teleporting. There are other ways to fight and win too like fireboarding, crystal lockdown, lanius suffocation, so plenty of variety.

people talkin poo poo about beardless Geralt and its like GERALT NEVER HAD A BEARD. That is, until you could make him have a beard then masturbate to him.

Either way the show is gonna be based on the books so they're just cribbing the games for the look and people are gonna be way mad about the outcome.

imo the Witcher series should just ape Witcher 1 as closely as possible at all times. Channel all of that corniness. I want to see all of these actual scenes from the first game...


- Geralt banging a wench in the old "haunted" watermill and her moans being mistaken for a vengeful ghost's wail by the townsolk.
- Random dwarfs walking down the street opining about how they "hosed a she-elf once".
- All notable characters including the king of the realm dropping everything during a crisis to challenge Geralt to a game of dice.
- Getting piss drunk and having to fight off killer piranha plants in some rear end in a top hat's backyard.
- Being randomly taunted with the line "your mother sucks dwarf cock!" every time Geralt gets into a fistfight.
- Geralt versus the Giant Crab being the most intense and hard fought battle of the series.
