No Wave posted:He's really, really tilting. The damage isn't unavoidable but it's much harder than it should be. Yeah it's not really unavoidable per se but especially in the second part of phase 1 he spams so much poo poo at the same time that you can't reliably prevent damage all the time depending on where you are on the screen.

Picked up Soulash  Had to refund Rogue Legacy 2, it seems like a good game but I'm just too slow and clumsy to get anything out of it. edit: Somebody make a game called Rouge where it's a roguelike where you get powers by equipping different kinds of makeup. And it's a bit hit that spawns an entire genre of rougelikes and rougelites, and some of the rougelikes are also roguelikes and rougelikes are roguelites but some rougelikes are souls-likes instead.

I'm having a blast with it, though in the late(?) game things are starting to feel grind-y. I'm firmly in the pit biome, and while the enemies aren't a huge challenge, the boss feels like it's tuned for someone with more upgrades than I have. But each new upgrade costs thousands now.

ntan1 posted:Uhhhh just wait until the last two bosses. I'm stuck at Estuary Tubal. Is that one of the last two? That fight also feels very bullet hell. There are just so many screen-filling attacks/summons that it's impossible not to lose a war of attrition. I've had the best luck with the Boxer, since you can basically stay in the air and punch him, then do the KO uppercut when the adds get close. I've gotten him down to around 20% a few times, but I think I need to do a few more gold runs and upgrade my damage a bit more.

i'm enjoying RL2 a lot so far but playing Duelist is killing me because my dumbass brain goes "oh they have a dodge ability, i can dash through enemies safely now" and my fingers hit the triggers before i realize i also dash into enemies on other classes. must be the instinct to dodge past enemies in 3d games (edit) literally right after posting this i unlocked boxer Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 01:33 on May 5, 2022 |

Finally got down to playing Inscryption over the last few days and I must say it was an incredible experience. HIGHLY recommended, with the caveat that it's more story based than most "roguelites" and that you should really go in blind if you can.

How is the UX in Cogmind? I've had it wishlisted forever, but my one big reservation is that I've always struggled to click with more traditional roguelike control schemes that require memorizing a poo poo-zillion keys and key combos.

I'm enjoying Rogue Legacy 2, but it feels like you have to make a choice between having fun and winning. The fast movement and tight controls mean blitzing around slapping the poo poo out of everything is great fun. But, to actually be successful you have to slow right the gently caress down, wait for 100% safe windows to attack, back out of rooms to reset enemies on bad patterns, backtrack miles for hp, pick up no relics until you figure out which combination to take, and generally play as safe as possible. I'm only 3-4 bosses in so far, so hopefully this gets fixed later on by gear/relic combinations. I find myself wishing for bloodborne's rally system.

The Huge Manatee posted:I'm enjoying Rogue Legacy 2, but it feels like you have to make a choice between having fun and winning. The lack of rally system together the punishing ''touch any enemy part by mistake and receive full damage" makes the game feel pretty different from something like Dead Cells (which also have something similar to the rally system). It's more geared towards more technical, very accurate movement with the hero, over having faster reflexes.

I don't remember Rogue Legacy 1 being so...full of hazards, all the time. I'm in the fifth area and it's rough. The platforming is also both required and pretty challenging at this point.Mithross posted:I mean one of their producers went and made Daemon X Machina, so someone still cares... I miss Armored Core... They held an Armored Core related focus group, so they're at least thinking about working on it. Given the success of Elden Ring, though, I doubt it would get the resources it would need even if they do make it.

Soulash is pretty cool but I'm struggling with the movement stuff, I'm not sure if the directionality really adds much. Some other QoL features would be nice too (like a 'walk to cursor' button). Seems like a fun game other than that though.
