punk rebel ecks posted:Rogue...lites? Basically, "short" campaigns that you can play again and again through randomisation. Examples besides Hades are games like The Binding of Isaac, Monolith, Dead Cells, Into The Breach, Monster Train. A run can be maybe an hour, the joy is in doing it again and again under different circumstances. It's roguelite so as not don't confuse them with roguelikes which are games that are Like Rogue, which includes games like ADOM, Nethack, and, according to Steam tags, Rogue.

no, roguelites are referred as such because there is a persistent progression system between runs. regular roguelikes you start from zero every time.

The term roguelite started as a way of differentiating the grid based RPGs from games that were borrowing specific hallmarks of the genre without having similar gameplay, and doesn't relate to metaprogression.

Like many industry genres "roguelite" is a dump category where you put whatever you want that someone else once incorrectly called a roguelike.

After over a year of dropping it right after beating the first half of the DLC I went back and finished off Pillars of Eternity 1. Not really too much to say that hasn't been said to death especially when comparing it to Pathfinder KM and Divinity OS1 except that PoE1 has the most accessible and clear UI for a rpg game I've ever played. 18 months off and it took ~5 mins to get back to exactly where I was in understanding game mechanics because I could right click on almost anything for further detail and tons of words had hyperlinks to in depth explanations. It's definitely one of the best presentation rpg games from that aspect regardless of opinions on RtWP.

Unreal_One posted:Not a lawyer, but don't patents only cover specific implementations? Probably harder than I was making it sound, but there have been nemesis-lite systems since. I think the XCOM 2 expansion was the only high profile title to have a nemesis-lite system. We would've heard about WB and Firaxis beef if that ridiculous patent covered loose adaptions. Cardiovorax posted:Normally, yes, but software patents are kind of a mess and a legal grey area that isn't really properly defined in law, despite the fact that patent offices keep issuing them anyway. It tends to be a "whatever you think you can get away with" sort of thing. It's also dependent on the concept being patented. The loading screen minigame patent was clear enough that the games industry kept far away from it. That's not to say the flood gates opened after the patent expired, but at least Nintendo experimented with it that same year with Splatoon.

Unreal_One posted:It's not a copyrightable thing, aside from the Nemesis branding and the specific implementation. Anybody could do it, but it takes an absolute ton of resources, most of which any given player will never see. The way the orcs can remember stuff got weirdly specific in Shadow of War - way more impressive than the first game, especially because the game uses more opportunities to surprise players. Designing such a system would get very involved and requires lots of additional voicework and randomized assets if you're gonna do it right.

also in case anyone was considering replaying Shadow of Mordor, they recently disabled the feature that lets you import your Nemesis Orc from the 1st game into Shadow of War. hosed up!!!

people talk about the nemesis system like Klurtz the Tooth Molester would eventually Weird Science himself into physical reality, steal your mail, and cut your brakes when in practice it mostly meant that the fifth ork interrupting the second ork interrupting a fight to yell an introduction would be like "oi, Gravewalka! It's yer ol pal, Gogurt th' Bee-Fearer! Well guess what? Now Oi'm immune t' bees!"

My rarest (0.30%) achievement is from the final chapter of Kentucky Route Zero, presumably because of a bajillion people played it before the final chapter was actually out and didn't actually go get back to it. Which means it's more ... achievy? than say, La Mulana hell temple hard mode (0.80%).

To be fair, GTA4 only somewhat recently got cheevo support on Steam. My rarest achievement for a long time was "kill 5 enemies in a tunnel with only a sidearm" in Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, but now the entire showcase is Halo MCC stuff.

My rarest achievement is for Dungeon of the Endless and it requires you to win the game with 3 characters added by a certain piece of DLC. You can start with 2 of them and one of them has an ability which will spawn new recruits faster, so it's not that hard to complete your trio. It just involves knowing that achievement exists, owning that DLC and actually caring about it. And knowing how to win a game I guess  Taintrunner posted:also in case anyone was considering replaying Shadow of Mordor, they recently disabled the feature that lets you import your Nemesis Orc from the 1st game into Shadow of War. hosed up!!! Also, the thing where you can avenge someone on your friends list by pulling the orc captain that killed them in your game. If you don't have friends (aww) it will link you with a random person. I played through SoM this year and in all those hours I played one of those revenge contracts showed up. Just that one in 30+ hours of play. There were also leaderboards for the challenge DLCs. Yup. So, I don't think the online functionality was a big deal. Losing it for its sequel Shadow of War would not be a big deal either, although I had fun filling a fortress with all sorts of annoying orc captains for someone else to fight against.

Aww, my rarest achievement at less than 1% ever achieved is knowing 50 people who played Torchlight 2. It's both heartwarming and funny.

My rarest achievement is for XCOM 2, and it's completing a mission in skirmish mode. Like, really? Only 1% of players ever clicked on that feature in the game? I did literally one, hoping there would be rewards in the campaign, which there weren't.
