Also, normally not into roguelike card games, but I think what makes the difference to it (in retrospect) is that it's an RPG, not a deck builder. You have gear slots and that's what you're equipping, it's not a game of "well each new card dilutes the random pool you're pulling from", which just isn't my deal.
the whole first episode is a very slow burn, and then it ramps up considerably and never stops revving the engine
it's stupid and jank but extremely charming and earnest in what it attempts to do mechanically
How far in are you?
I thought the game's reach exceeded its grasp, but it had its charms
I was coming here to say a variant of the same. The way extra effort is both noted and appreciated, Brolo.
yeah I don't know why twitter embeds are killing the mobile view like this, used to be a lot faster

I did indeed! The end of the game didn't totally work for me, but I still have more fondness for that game than it maybe deserves. There are interesting messages and themes throughout, about the hollow rot of aristocracy, about the arbitrary nature of power, about how "history" is just a malleable tool power structures use to justify themselves. And a game set during the Spanish Flu sure hits different when living through an epidemic, I tell you what.
Also maybe it's that I played Night Road so recently, but dang does this feel like a Vampire: The Masquerade game with the serial numbers filed off.
Almost.
The end of that game depends on a romance that isn't particularly compelling.
I stalled out very, very early in Vampyr, right after entering the morgue, because I sucked (lol) too much at the combat to get past the first fight in there and the autosave was just inside the door which you then can't go back out of so haha, fuck me, do this fight forever I guess.
I'm currently watching an LP of it and it's made me feel better about giving up on it tbh. It has some cool ideas, I really like the social network stuff, but I find the protagonist and all the NPCs so devoid of charisma, and the dead fish stares and weird twitchy movements during conversations so off-putting. And I should really dig the setting but it's all so dark and bleh. It just really makes me want a new VtM game.
I realise I'm responding to you saying "I like this game" with "Here are all the reasons this game sucks". It's just the first time I've seen someone mention it recently. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
The coolest part of the game is solving people's little mysteries and murdering them if you think they deserve it and watching whole districts fall into ruin as a result
This is not the behavior that the game encourages you to engage in narratively though
The combat sucks and is made better by eating people for their delicious experience points and leveling up your combat skills (or just leveling invisibility, fuck combat), so you can argue that the behavior is encouraged there, but ultimately it feels a bit flat
It also, like many games of its ilk, starts out very open ended and exploratory and is funneling you from setpiece to setpiece by the end, which is deeply disappointing
I'm a sucker for a game where "being good" is legitimately much, much more challenging than the alternatives. Where the temptation to compromise your morality is strong, and you're constantly wondering if doing the right thing is worth the hassle
The guy I'm watching play it hasn't eaten anybody.
Some of the cool stuff it does really gets undercut by that
That's what it seems like at first, but there are some seriously busted builds that you don't need a whole lot of blood to make work which kind of devalues the whole thing, but by the end of the game I was fine with that.
Yes, characters will often change their behavior if another character important to them goes missing. Usually in the form of changing their pathing or location. (iirc some can even outright leave the game? So eating order can be important)
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better

Spelunky is great!
It's definitely a game that gets better the more you play it.
Oof yeah that name's awful but that looks cool as shit aesthetically

I am pondering this as I've had the Morrowind theme spinning around in my head all day. I've hardly even played Morrowind, but I probably hum the tune to myself at least once most days.

Cancel culture is a myth.
Youtube has always had that "What are you going to do about it? That's right, nothing. Now keep watching those reacts videos." attitude and this is no exception. Especially if it means they can finally get a slice of that Twitch money.
