that's the reason i never got into it in the first place. like, i don't listen to Slipknot, i don't watch Rob Zombie movies, and i don't want to play as a loving aborted fetus trying to crawl out of a goddamn basement this is why Enter the Gungeon is the best twin stick game. the theming is delightful and constantly funny in little cute ways

Was Geometry Wars 3 somehow bad? I'm guessing it had some new modes and I see it on sale all the time, but I've heard basically nothing about it despite the first two being well liked.

It doesn't really bother me it's just more of a "why?". Is it suppose to be funny? Some sort of commentary on abuse? Was it just "lol edgy" Newgrounds? Actually that's probably it.

Seems like an oversight that Chaos from Primal Rage had moves where he puked, farted and urinated on his opponents but never once flung feces despite that being the #1 thing apes are known for doing.

Gungeon is not a good substitute for BoI. For starters BoI is not properly a twinstick shooter, being only able to fire in the 4 directions makes the gameplay feel really different. That plus the lask of a roll has a simplicity to it that I really enjoy. And I'm not entirely sure how to describe this but those two things and the room layouts and the way monsters move make it feel a bit more like a geometric puzzle than a twitchy shootymans game. Sorta more tactical/cerebral/about the ability to maneuver and anticipate rather than the ability to aim and dodge. It just feels very different to a twinstick shooter to me to play. Then there's all the powerups and synergies. In Gungeon you're just getting different individual guns which is not at all the same feeling. I really wish someone would come along and make a version where you're just a wizard, nothing is obscured, and to get rid of the more trolling bullshit in the game.

I don't think it's wrong to prefer Gungeon, and for the record I do also like Gungeon, I just don't think it scratches the same itch as BoI. They're different enough games despite both being top-down action roguelites.

Just play The Void Rains Upon Her Heart instead, it's the same type of metaprogression and about as twitchy as BoI or Enter the Gungeon. Might have a different playstyle, Boss Rush horizontal SHMUP vs slogging through trash before you get to the level boss twin-stick shooter, but I feel like it scratches the same itch and improves 1000x on everything BoI does wrong with enemy scaling and Items

Binding of Isaac's and Super Meat Boy's whole look is best summed up as 'the style at the time'. 90s and early 00s grossout humour combined with the lack of restraints of Newgrounds meant you got a lot of blood and poo.

I played Enter the Gungeon and it was fun. Never really played Binding of Isaac. I like in Gungeon that it's quick and fast paced. And then you die and you don't feel mad because the game embraces that poo poo. Big fan of games that are like "it's only a game, you'll die, it's fine".

I haven't played Isaac in years, but I was really into it for a while. It's the rare game that I enjoyed in spite of its aesthetic. The gross-out humor thing was a deterrent for a while, but the game itself was so fun that I still had a great time with it.

Enter the gungeon has a superb theme and design but I have to echo that the game just feels off somehow, maybe its the enemy health or the amount of enemies as has been suggested but something about it feels below par

I never played Binding of Isaac because I want it on switch and they very much refuse to put it on sale or offer it for a reasonable price reflecting the fact it's a newgrounds flash game

Rimworld owns and I have it modded to hell. I am pro-modding. Some mods are good, some are bad, some are just for different tastes. Also a long time ago I was posting about how Frostpunk is a stupid name for a game and I won't buy it based on that alone. Well I got it and played it and it's actually good and fun and I like the setting a lot. Still a stupid title though.

I like the shooting in Isaac because it adds your character's velocity to the bullet's trajectory, allowing for angled skill shots and making your shots faster/longer range by moving forward while firing. I can see how it would feel bad if you're trying to play it on a controller with dual analog sticks while only being able to aim in cardinal directions, though.

Yeah, the shooting in Isaac is actually great but you really need to play it on a keyboard or something with two d-pads like the Switch. I think the Flash version specifically said not to play it with a controller.
