From Software offices, late night: Designer One: *yawn* Tired as gently caress but gotta finish Nokron Designer Two: I wanna get home, I've got some cock and ball torture scheduled. Can't we just make this place look like Siofra and fill it with the same dumbass Minotaur Cosplayer enemies? Designer One: *scratching balls* Yeah, but make sure there's at least three in any given area and sprinkle in some Female Minotaur Cosplayers that constantly heal them. Designer Two: Great idea, wouldn't want anyone enjoying this place. Designer Three: uh, we need a boss...hmm...boss... Designer One: how about making the player fight the Siofra deer again? Keep with the whole, "like our boring level? Do it again!" theme we got going here. Designer Two: brb *heads to restroom* Designer Three: great idea, but the Siofra boss was killable, we need to fix that this time around. Designer One: okay, just make it so the thing is the size of the Colossus of Rhodes, and make sure the only lock on point is the upper torso. Designer Three: haha melee users will hardly ever be able to hit it! Designer One: gently caress, yeah, that's a good point. Don't want them landing hits. Hmm...make sure it rears up all the time too, so even jumping up at it will result in near-constant whiffs. Designer Two: *emerges from bathroom with a bowl of feces and spoons up a bite* Designer Three: *packing rear end in a top hat with paper clips, one at a time* You know, it could, technically, die at some point. Designer Two: *frowns at bowl of feces* Could someone piss in this for me? Designer Three: wait I know, lets give it a healing ability so it can top back up to full at will Designer One: Okay, but make sure there aren't any limits to the number of times the heal can be used. Designer Three: well DUH. Anything else? *they all look at each other, exchanging knowing smiles* All Three Designers: UNDODGEABLE ROLL ATTACK!!

dota 2 is the better game but league has a better everything else - production values, art design, interface, etc etc etc there isn't a single hero from Dota 2's 120+ that matches Ivern in terms of uniqueness and charm though

(because every hero is designed to be a generic slot-in replacement for its role so the people who played 20bux for a skin can pick the same character in every ranked game for 5 years without thinking about team comps) characters like tinker or broodmother or techies change the way you play the game way more

Excuse me but Axe makes for the easiest puns and is thus the best hero.Disco Pope posted:Replayability is really important to me. I know the handful of games and developers I like, I'm happy to play their games over and over, so long as I can go "hey, what if I..." with them. Yeah that'd be fine but they use them as glorified keys. I stopped playing Hollow Knights after I was like "where the gently caress is the save point there should have been at least one by now" and I died. I get to travel back to that point, but a little bit weaker because of the death penalty. A late save point is one thing, but being capable of missing a save point makes the experience even worse. Did I miss one? I don't know. Was it just around the cocrner? I don't know. Am I going to another deadend? Probably not because I was following someone. Anyway they should make metriodvanias less poo poo and more fun. More importantly they should make the games I play less poo poo and more fun.

Duck and Cover posted:Probably not because I was following someone. That tells me where you were in the game - Greenpath. One of the best-designed areas in the game, imo. By the time the player catches up to that person you were following, you have passed by four save points within Greenpath. I don't know where exactly you died but you probably missed one. I would hope you got the first one, right before you spot her for the first time. The second is towards the bottom-right of the area, but you might miss it. The third is essentially impossible to miss, so you must have died earlier than that. Modal Auxiliary posted:Skill issue

Hollow Knight is the best metroidvania. The way the mapping works is good and adds to the game significantly.

I already caught up and fought them once (well fought them multiple times because I'm bad and they're a smidge too tanky). I checked, it's Fungal Wastes, seems the map did have a bench point, so I guess I was close. Anyway it was a bunch of mantises, and flying evolved mosquitos. Not super long but they each take like 3 hits. I'd probably have the patience for it but on top of the other issues was enough to make me stop. Oh and looking at my map isn't a pause? Yeah gently caress that. Duck and Cover fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Nov 1, 2023 |

If losing temporary progress every time you die is a problem, then maybe metriodvanias aren't for you? No seriously, the first reboot of Prince of Persia had a rewind mechanic which was brilliant, more games should do that.

You're not gonna find a non-toxic community for a video game because it's easy to be a fucker when you're anonymous and don't have to look anyone in the eye. Best you can do is find a community within the community that doesn't suck, and then hope it doesn't get torn apart from within because small communities get all incestuous and backstabby.

Devils Affricate posted:I think I've only run into one dickwad so far while playing Darktide, people are generally pretty cheerful in that game for some reason I have a theory that it's because the characters talk poo poo to each other for you. Like if one person is taking all the ammo the other characters call them a shithead and tell them to stop hogging ammo. Then the ammo hogger's character calls them all noobs and says they need it more than the others.

You shouldn't do that it's not safe, and the hippo cannot give consent. What? If you're going to make up poo poo I get to as well.

Any multiplayer game mode with teammates are garbage and should be ignored or better yet removed. Having teammates either hampers you or acts as a crutch to help you get undeserved wins. They also provide a safety blanket in the form of "bwuh we would've won if you guys could play  " or makes you feel like you carried them to a free win when in fact, they carried your sorry rear end, meaning you learned nothing from the match.No the only real multiplayer mode is 1v1. Nothing to blame but you, no one to carry you to victory but you, and you get all the sweet sweet tears all for yourself when you crush their very soul and will to continue. edit: Incidently I know this is an Unpopular Opinion since 1v1 is consistently the least played game mode due to gamers being massive wusses who love the comfort of blaming teammates to much to actually git gud.

1v1 is the most sacred of online game modes but it only works when the game is designed for it and not many risk it outside of fighting games nowadays
