Wizard of Legend is a fun rogue-like, and it goes on sale fairly often.

But the sales are literally for like a dollar off. Wait until next year when it finally hits 3 dollars off.

CYBEReris posted:When I was heading towards the endgame of Rogue Legacy I just kept feeling "why am I dealing with danmaku bullets with a boxy platformer hitbox" Yeah and it totally does the bullshit thing of "you beat the game, wowee! JK that was just one third of the game, the remaining 2/3rds of the game is you running through the exact same content twice, except with bigger numbers and a fuckton more bullets" Over the years I've really grown to despise games that pad themselves up by having you repeat the same content ad nauseum. Even critically acclaimed games like Nier get away with it, the multiple route thing should have been shat on way more. Obviously this isn't as big of an issue with rouge likes that are actually good at being rouge likes

Rogue Legacy scratches an itch I didn't know I had, in a way that other roguelikes can't The bigger draw is the legacy

EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM AN SD CARD INTO THE SLOT OF MY NINTENDO SWITCH. ITS BROFORCE AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I START DOING THE MOVES ALONGSIDE WITH THE VARIOUS BROS. I DO EVERY MOVE AND I DO EVERY MOVE HARD. MAKIN ESPLOSION SOUNDS WHEN I SHOOT THE MEGACOCKTER OR EVEN WHEN I MESS UP TECHNIQUE. NOT MANY CAN SAY THEY SAVED AMERICA FROM SATAN. I CAN. I SAY IT AND I SAY IT OUTLOUD EVERYDAY TO PEOPLE IN MY COLLEGE CLASS AND ALL THEY DO IS PROVE PEOPLE IN COLLEGE CLASS CAN STILL BE IMMATURE JERKS. AND IVE LEARNED ALL THE SPECIAL MOVES AND IVE LEARNED HOW TO MAKE MYSELF AND MY APARTMENT LESS LONELY BY HIGH-FIVING TO SLOW DOWN TIME. 2 HOURS (NON-HIGH-FIVE TIME) INCLUDING WIND DOWN EVERY MORNING

Just spam laser beams and magic missiles everywhere. People have already talked about the Demon Hunter so I'll also mention that Crusader is pretty fun too. Riding through enemies on a flaming horse and then smashing them with a giant flail never gets old.

You don't want to go down that rabbit hole. Most of it is lingering psychological trauma of how bad the game was when it launched.

I hated grindy lootgames until D3, which I've allowed to wash over me and give my brain those dumb good feels of big numbers that get bigger. It occupies the same space as like a match three game for me. Also I really hate the writing in everything blizzard does so it's nice not having to play the story at all now. I really can't stress how much better the game is if you just skip all that poo poo and get straight to riftin' and bountyin'.

So far on my way to 70 I've read zero flavor/story text and basically auto equipped whatever dropped with up arrows on the left side (except for the crown). Game plays just fine that way.

Azmodan, the “greatest battlefield commander of all demons”, popping in several times to go “what’s up, here are my current plans and strategies, here’s where to go to stop me, okay bye” is just one of the many completely ridiculous things we’re meant to take seriously. It’s dumb enough to be amusing.

I'm having a real tough time beating Asgore. Any help? Should I talk to him three times to lower his atk and Def or would that be better spent attacking?

Also remember that D3 is 6 years old. Lots of time for lots of people to disenfranchise themselves from it because of fatigue or some other reason. Also launch D3 was a spectacle in the worst way.

I don't know what button it is on Switch but Undertale has a "focus" button that makes your movements more precise, I only ever used it for Asgore and Sans but it's handy when there's a bunch of stuff in the box you need to thread through.

ONE YEAR LATER posted:Either look up your county's supervisor of elections website or Google "where do I vote" and you'll get a ton of links that will direct you to the proper place to check. I am so happy my state moved to vote by mail exclusively. I turned in my ballot two weeks ago, and was already able to check the website to see that it's been accepted and processed for counting tonight. On top of that, you get automatically registered to vote when you get / renew a driver's license or state ID.

If Caves of Qud ever comes to Switch, you'd never need another turn-based roguelike ever

Not a Children posted:There are tons of roguelikes better than Rogue Legacy. Buy Dead Cells or Crypt of the Necrodancer instead. Isaac if you've got money to burn. I liked Rogue Legacy better than Dead Cells, personally. Dead Cells just ended up feeling more repetitive to me, and i quit as soon as I beat the final boss the first time. Rogue Legacy pushed me to continue doing multiple NG+ cycles. Some of the characters builds are a lot of fun as you upgrade your stats. Enter the Gungeon is probably my favorite Rogue-lite on the Switch, though. I haven't played the Switch version but I've dumped nearly 200 hours into the PC version over the last couple years, and I've done just about everything there is to do in it. I still boot it up for a run every now and then. il serpente cosmico fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Nov 6, 2018 |

I played through to sen's fortress on PC, but this was before the remaster and I didn't really have much of any invaders/assistance. Then I accidentally aggroed the smith by saving and loading up near him (pressed to load one too many times and i was already attacking as the screen faded in) so I kinda lost my desire to play it for a very long time. Idk, just debating about whether it would be more fun with a more active community or whether i value my own sanity too much to start it over again Also in the meantime I bought mario kart

SettingSun posted:Also remember that D3 is 6 years old. Lots of time for lots of people to disenfranchise themselves from it because of fatigue or some other reason. Also launch D3 was a spectacle in the worst way. Even pre launch, D3 was headed to spectacular drama. The colourful and more cartoonish art style, the complaint that it was all kidified etc etc. And then the auction house turned out to be a huge disaster (surprising no one) and the other problems people have mentioned. For whatever reason Diablo — which is ultimately a kind of chill out fanchise where you break the difficulty over your knee with builds that abuse the complicated mechanics to make every encounter trivial — has attracted a particularly passionate community of players who see themselves as hardcore. Which is how you get Path of Exile where the selling point is “we took Diablo 2 and made it MORE obscure and tiny number heavy”.

Ehh the first playthrough is really short and you're not gonna get all the unlocks such as the stronger weapons/armor until you go through ng++, I personally didn't feel like the game was over after you cleared the castle for the first time. There's still all sorts of gaps in the item screen/town unlocks if I recall correctly. At any rate, I didn't feel like I would have gotten my money's worth from just one NG run.

I live in Florida now, I am signed up for vote by mail but actually stopped by an early voting location last week and did it then. When I lived in NY I was lucky enough to be literally down the street from the polling location and I worked nights so it was pretty easy to vote then too. For as progressive as some things are in NY, they need to update their voting stuff sooner rather than later.
