    I should get around to actually playing/completing the original darkest dungeon

    Its a pretty amazing bit of a game that fucking murders you for the temerity to not bring a god damn shovel. FUCK YOU COVE!!!

    Second one is completely different other than having some of the same characters. Two completely opposite games entirely.

    Oh, so the second game doesn’t hate you, the player, and want you to die miserable and alone?

    That’s a step up.

    No it still hates you and wants to murder you. It just does it in a more traditional rogue light, wasting 4 hours to get cheapo bullshit wiped versus DD1's waste 50 hours to slowly fight a losing war against all the god damn maps you have and have to tip your king in frustation.

    I am the target audience for Darkest Dungeon, but just a bit too difficult. Did they make any mods to make it a little easier?

    I found Admiral Bahroo's deathless bloodmoon playthrough to be quite entertaining, but you have to like Bahroo's general sense of humor and that can be hit or miss.

    For a lark, look up what the last boss does to you.

    Keep in mind if you are playing blind you will not expect it at all and each character can have multiples of tens in hours invested.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    Like after a couple dozen hours I remember getting exactly one team to max level with high tier gear and trying out the titular Darkest Dungeon and within two skirmishes everything was a pile of burning shit, everybody dead or ruined, and that was that goodbye forever videogame

    It was like they took the memory of playing the original X-Com and having to go to Mars with squads of rookies because everyone else died, but forgot the part where even Rookies (if selected properly) in power armor and plasma rifles could be decent in the end game.

    My issue with Darkest Dungeon was how it was continually tuned, over and over again, to be towards their most hardcore players. As well, the continual nerfing of good strategies, even non-cheese ones that just relied on good synergy, killed my interest in finishing the game.

    It’s too grindy, and the fact you will need I believe four fully ranked high end teams to finish it just made tap out.

    Oh the other hand, the first…50 hours or so I put into that game I enjoyed.

    I'd assume that if you're at a launch event for the final book in the series you probably read the one that came out two years earlier.
    you'll probably catch some people in the crossfire but also, well, there's a reason that the shirt existed in the first place: the phrase (and variants of it) kind of went viral and was hard to avoid.

    Working my way through some Steam Demos.

    Dungeons of Aether is a dungeon crawler where you and your opponent take turns picking from a common dice pool to apply them to your stats. At least in the demo, attacks only ever did 1 damage, the size of your pools determines whether or not the attack will penetrate, how many of your abilities are available and who acts first (enemies don't deal damage if they die before their turn). The dice in the pool are coloured and will only contribute +1 to any pool of a different colour (except for 1s, which cannot be placed off colour).
    Combined with abilities that manipulate opponent dice or give you pool bonuses on your next turn it means that you can use turns where neither of you are going through the other's defenses to prepare for the next turn. All in all, neat systems, feels less random than I remember Dicey Dungeon being.

    Mr. Saitou is (or feels like) an RPG Maker game, where you're a Japanese salaryman who faints from overwork and wakes up in the hospital, where he's bothered by a little kid that draws him a picture of llamaworms, all named after him. You then go to sleep and wake up as a salaryworm doing a presentation to the worms in those pictures, getting chewed out by your boss. The demo includes office work, office gossip, the most annoying worm in the office (yes that guy) and an infestation of giant pigeons.
    I have wishlisted this game so hard.

    There have been a couple of Darkest Dungeon likes with different aesthetics that don't quite think you're scum for wanting to play them.

    Circus Electrique I find kind of nice, it has an actual narrative, but it is also steampunk, that takes place in alternate 1900 so fair warning.

    once again the hard drive is the only honest bastion of games criticism
    zxvn5fV.png
    Now I understand that some people think I shouldn’t be talking about this at all. But as critics, our job is to answer the question of whether or not we find having a loaded gun pressed to our temples fun to experience and why. Whether or not we could die is obviously a very important question. So just as in virtually all cases, we’re choosing to expose and address the fact that I could have my brains blown out at any moment. We’re doing it here and we did it with Elden Ring as well, for example. (That one was a lot easier, because playing Elden Ring had no chance of killing me).

    the fantastic beasts movies are very funny because clearly this franchise is still, apparently, extremely lucrative, and still those movies were bad enough that everyone was like "that's enough of that"

    this is probably going to be a spicy take, but very few bioware combat systems feel good. many of them feel novel to get you through the game, but would emphatically not hold up if you were going to play a game that was say, just them, without the other stuff bioware makes

    Not spicy at all. I've had *fun* certainly, but you only have to start picking at things a little bit in say, ME2/ME3 to start revealing the serious flaws.

    Like just as a couple of examples off hand: your secondary party members do half damage, because they want to promote the player feeling like the big awesome guy. Which is a pretty ham handed way of achieving that, and has a lot of werid and gross knock on effects (That is, you were best taking party members who could support/supply abilites, rather than damage. Sorry Garrus, but you're fired)
    In a game where everything is about Mass and the manipulation thereof to justify powers, shields/armor/purple shields act as... a fancy Yes/No switch Are You Allowed To Use Your Cool Shit. Lazy as all hell, also, boring game design (Especially when you could have built a system that made them act as resistance and justified it as lorewise shields/etc adding mass agaisnt biotic/tech abilites).
    If you wanted to do max damage as Solider, you did NOT take the +dmg Bullettime ability. You took the one that slowed time down *even further*, because this actually gave an even higher damage multiplier. (Which could then be stacked with a bunch of other stuff the Solider did to easily crack skulls).

    There was a lot of silly shit like that.

    Bethseda is another one where I always give people saying they're good games a side eye. They're *terrible* games. They're fantastic worlds and places to explore, but actual gameplay in your Skyblivions is absolutely terribly designed on a number of levels. (A proud tradition starfairer seems to be keeping up).

    amusingly in ME 3, and even in the remaster. Garrus is the real hero. You can build it so he basically fires forever and erases enemies.

    Oh neat, I didn’t realize Dungeons of AETHER had a thing.

    For anybody that doesn’t know, Rivals of Aether is a pixel-graphics 2D platform fighter. Through making the game and its characters they made this neat idea for a world of anthropomorphic animals aligned to the worlds of the 4 elements. They also did Creatures of Aether which is a competitive card game.

    So now Dungeons is a game to take that world and put new characters in, and a new game style.

    It’s hard for me to describe because what it reminds me of is on the tip of my tongue. But it’s essentially a Mario Maker where you go into a quick dungeon to get a maguffin, then have to escape.

    You can only get hit once by a trap or an enemy, in which case you die and can immediately try again. You start with a very satisfying grappling hook and a double jump for movement. Destroying traps and enemies gives you resources for your base, so there’s an incentive to risk death to not only bypass stuff but destroy it.

    Also, once you grab the maguffin, the person can build traps that only deploy at that moment, so getting out can be challenging even if you’ve cleared the map.

    You can also coop with a friend which I’m gonna try tonight.

    The other half of the game is building your own levels that players try to get through, and those sessions are recorded so you can watch later to see people either succeed or win. You can also build with a friend.

    Also, once you grab the maguffin, the person can build traps that only deploy at that moment, so getting out can be challenging even if you’ve cleared the map.

    You can also coop with a friend which I’m gonna try tonight.

    The other half of the game is building your own levels that players try to get through, and those sessions are recorded so you can watch later to see people either succeed or win. You can also build with a friend.

    It reminds me of a game years ago where you were a paranoid home owner and had to design a labyrinthine home full of traps and stuff, then if you could clear it it got uploaded and other players were thief and had to break in. I want to say it was too down perspective?

    it's a gameplay conceit that has been kicking around for a while in games like the Castle Doctrine or ubisoft's Mighty Quest For Epic Loot but meet your maker seems like the first one that's hit upon making playing the levels actually fun. which seems like an important component of making those games work.
