acksplode posted:Guns feel so extraneous that I have a serious hunch it was the original idea. Then maybe marketing got wind of it and was like uh ok but how are we gonna put a guy holding a gun on the cover. I really liked the Mirror's Edge approach to guns, which was that you could pick up guns the enemies dropped but you'd only get a few shots and if you got into a fire fight, you were probably already dead. It made sense because the idea behind the game was that you were always moving fast and the protag wasn't a killer.

I might try playing inscryption again tomorrow but the thought of playing against the prospector again for the third time is not inspiring me much at all. My brain just refuses to get on with roguelikes

I didn't mind there being guns in the original game since there must've been pressure from above to include them, but I appreciate Catalyst a lot more for just ditching them entirely.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:It's not a roguelike, it's just a card game dude Yeah but I already beat the guy once having to beat him again and again is just tedious Like I'll be straight up and say *in Casnorf voice* this is a me problem, but it's one I really struggle to overcome. Actually hold on a sec, cuz one of my all time favourite games of all time, Mission Thunderbolt, is a roguelike. It's nearly impossible to beat, even when cheating, but that's not the point of it, every run is so randomised and different, there are no scripted events, the whole game is just go out and explore and see what cool poo poo you can find a mess about with. Very early inscryption stuff: I can see theres some cool meta stuff going on with inscryption but the gameplay is too repetitive for me, sure theres some randomisation and theres been new mechanics added each run but the scripted boss fights just make each run feel identical as the last one, and there feels like theres an ending to the game, some overarching mystery to discover but the game's tedium is getting in the way of me reaching it. Idk but I havent found it compelling enough to bring me back around to it.

They might feel tedius if you're playing the boss the same way each time (ie relying on your items too much), in my experience that would eventually lead to loss in the end. From what I found the real key was finding a way to conserve resources on the early bosses so I still had some gas in the tank for what came next. Mind you, you're still in the part of the game where you're learning mechanics that are essential later on. Angler and Trapper are the Genichiro skill-checks of Inscryption. Anyways, good luck to ya!

It's more important at this point in the game to die and get an opportunity to create a good death card. You're guaranteed to beat the prospector after you create a few good death cards to rely upon.

I tried to give it a fair once over, so I booted it up again. I couldn't be bothered finishing the uncharted climbing intro poo poo because somehow I forgot that most of the game is insanely boring navigation. When I tried to do the combat arena instead it loaded the level but disabled the in-game menus and the ps5 menu despite being able to run around the empty arena lol

The Star Wars games I like: Dark Forces Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight Shadows of the Empire Battlefront 2 (2005) Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2 the Old Republic Pod Racer Squadron Rogue Squadron 2 Galaxies I really want an open world sandbox crafting/building Star Wars game, and I am very surprised a game like this doesn't exist yet or even that one is in development.

I remember Shadow of the Empire most for its insane debug menu you could activate by naming the file something like WOMPA_STOMPA and then doing a button combination that was so complex you either needed to use like your chin to complete it or ask for help. It was fun to mess around with but you could easily crash the game with it. Also the game itself was pretty good at the time, yeah.

If you're like me, Sekiro parry muscle memory carried you through stage 1, and you're about to enter the trough of gitting gud with the avoid mechanic. Club was harder, but I got through it now. The avoid mechanic is good is boss fights but sucks rear end when you are surrounded by 1-3 mooks. Onto level 3!

It's honestly just as effective against mobs, especially mobs of enemies that you can't posture break with a single parry. And you can spam it a bit and get out of hairy situations where you can't keep track of all the attacks coming at you. Useful against weapons too, just wait until you avoid the swing of a mook's bat and it flies into another mook's face

fridge corn posted:Yeah but I already beat the guy once having to beat him again and again is just tedious I sometime phrase that sort of experience as being "topographically similar." Yeah, sure, a donut and a coffee mug are topographically similar but the shapes are basically always gonna be the same even if they're in slightly different places -- it's why I don't much care for Breath of the Wild and why most roguelites really fall on their face when it comes to understanding why rogue is such a seminal influence. A good roguelike understands that the pieces still have to come together to form an emergent narrative or vary up the gameplay per session and if that doesn't happen all you can see is the seams. Personally, I really like Dead Cells for having the same basic shape but the texture, the actual moment to moment gameplay, varies wildly by which items you find. Gungeon does a pretty decent job there, too. I hear Isaac is good for that but I'll never know because I don't like looking at it and that's more than enough to not play something, hahaha. Much as I love Returnal, its roguelike aspects aren't super compelling. The weapons tend toward homogeneity over time and the rooms have no strong narrative structure beyond the very most basic of visual themes. I don't think it'd work as a more straightforward framework, but I'm not really super sure how to approach the integration of procedural elements without spilling directly into roguelike terminology. It's...some secret third thing, hahaha.

It's...some secret third thing, hahaha. Agree. You don't really ever get a synergistic build by methodically making the right choices over a run. Returnal succeeds based solely on it's atmosphere and absolutely fantastic combat. It honestly would've been better if it had emulated Hades' flow where you just pick your weapon at the start of a run. negativeneil fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Sep 20, 2022 |

Yeah, Returnal doesn’t really have builds in the normal sense. 90% of your build is your gun, which is totally random. The rest is just window dressing, unless you pick up the one thing that enables one other play style (get health for kills instead of pickups) or if you accidentally get a really bad malfunction and then your run is just hosed if you can’t immediately get rid of it It makes up for this by letting your thumbskill determine your success to a greater degree than most other roguelikes

Nice I didn't know Prodeus had a console release date. I've been playing it on PC and it kicks so much rear end, gameplay is good and the aesthetic is perfect. What blew my mind is that it uses sprites for all the enemies doom-style, except they're rendered in realtime from 3D models after first applying lighting effects and wound deformations. So like you're fighting 2D sprites with 8 fixed viewing angles, but they're accurately lit by the environment and you can shoot their limbs off. It's so cool.
