@viciousviscosity
sounds like supergiant is 3 for 3 then!
-
my worry with transistor is cos I've heard it's amazing, I'll be overly critical, and spoil my own potential enjoyment.
It also doesn't help that as mentioned before, Cyberpunk ain't my thing really.
So as with all "silly things I do" I'm putting it off and off and off until such point I feel like I'll somehow shed those potential biases and go into it 'naturally'
...which will probably never happen and I've just gotten to the point of itching to play it...SOOO..
I will after Pyre.
-
also by the way
if transistor is amazing, from what I've heard (again no spoils pls)
and Pyre is fucking great so far for me
how's bastion?
cos assuming that's halfway good...Supergiant are being put firmly on my radar
-
@maiyannah
I'd be interested in your thoughts!
It's definitely an interesting premise as noted (the city having a set number of NPCs, so feeding on them n stuff makes you stronger as a vamp, but also actively makes the plague worse and kills them off for future encounters and things)
Plus the whole having to abide by original vamp rules, like having to be invited to enter houses.
But yeah, from what I've seen so far it's "yes the premise is interesting but it's not executed all that well"
Plus the whole "more death=more plague" thing gives bad memories of dishonoured
so would be curious to hear how well it pulls off the bits it's trying to be interesting about

@pingspike
ha, 'unforunately' just an out loud thought
tempting as it is, dont wish to irk someone who i can easily see doing the sort of odd incel (is that the word) routine of strange liking going to -immediate obsessive hate- and i cant be arsed to deal with that if they then try and track down the secret account n stuff
-
seriously tho if pyre keeps anywhere near the quality so far
go play it
i may come to regret this if the quality suddenly freefalls later on, when i get the chance to play more, but its eyeing a spot on "fav games list" potentially
-
so, pyre, first supergiant developed game ive played
barely into it
but already love it, and it seems to be getting better as it goes
hope i get to play it again soon
-
sahlin sketch looks so pretty
it's like, how do i put this, not a design i would have immediately thought of thinking on her. yet fits perfectly and makes me wish i had?
is cool as hell
...thats maybe bad wording, hell is all flames and heat.
its cool as, a very very cool place
-
i wish i were some sort of robot, so i could just click the reset button when i step out of line too much
i dont have anything good in my head right now
im in bad way,
im sorry
damn it, i just wanna fade into darkness
i just wanna be, mindless, just obeying, following, shutting up. that'd be so much easier and it feels, so much more pleasing for anyone else.
im rambling on, screaming into the void
i beg, i know im broken, i know im useless and pointless and hated, but im me. i dont wanna be hurt or hated. i dont want my thoughts ignored. my opinions viewed as mistakes.
i wanna be cared for, for who i am, broken nature and all.
if that cant be done, im sorry. i failed you then.
-
posting these things will probably be taken in bad faith too, responded badly too, and i'll cry a bit, and then i'll just shut up, nothing will change, this will just be a blip in which i was apparently an idiot
so i dont know why i do
i just also dont see anything ever having the -chance- to change unless i do, so.
maybe im grasping at straws
sure, i've worries, i've a chip on my shoulder. i get it. has to come from somewhere tho right.
or perhaps im just not worth listening to, perhaps its ignored or twisted, to make me feel the fool because thats just my purpose. im just shitty and ought to be ignored.
tell me if thats actually the case, feels it sometimes, least then id know.
-
i just want to be listened to
i dont mean off the cuff responding to a point i didnt even make
i mean actually listening
i dont care when people disagree but please, god, just listen
i know im an idiot, i know i have my issues, but constantly being drowned out or having things i do and say twisted, is driving me insane
never having bad faith until it comes to me
-
As for me, I am going to curl up and wish for things to go dark.

@gameragodzilla @maiyannah @camoceltic
I know.
I agree.
I said I agreed.
I directly addressed, that I agreed.
Then moved on to talk about the benefits of RNG, all under the context of understanding the frustration, and the context of the fact that I agreed with the point -in the second sentence-
I don't know why I'm being treated like I'm on 'another side' here, just cos I then went on to explain some of the benefits of the system as a whole.
I can state the benefits of a system, while still agreeing it needs fixing. I know this because that's -literally what I did-
-
Lets take...Edgar Wright, as a comparison. I know he does films, just roll with it for a mo.
Scott Pilgrim is considered a 'cult classic' whether you like or dislike it.
But the other stuff Edgar Wright has made...is generally considered quite good by most.
So if you liked Scott Pilgrim, it wouldn't seem odd to then follow Edgar Wright, cos hs other stuff is generally well liked.
In the case of American Mcgee, he has his 'cult' thing...but...his other work...isn't...generally well liked.
-
@maiyannah @camoceltic
Nothing I said disagrees with what you're currently saying. I directly addressed that I agree with what you're currently saying, in the second sentence. So...I'm not sure what this is about.
-
@maiyannah
Do very much agree, under no circumstance should they outright -lie-
-
I don't quite get the following American Mcgee seems to have gathered.
Aside from the Alice games being arguably 'cult'
His other games...are generally considered mediocre.
-
@maiyannah @camoceltic
I addressed that almost immediately in the second sentence "While the RNG should definitely be more balanced and the percentages shouldn't lie" tho, so with respect, you've not fairly taken my point. I have no issue with disagreement, I was playing devils ad, but...ignoring the second sentence to take things out of context is... :c
-
@camoceltic
To play sort of Devils Advocate here.
While the RNG should definitely be more balanced and the percentages shouldn't lie.
I don't inherently think there's issue with it's existence, or the enemies sometimes having advantage.
Half the fun of Xcom, for a lot of people. Is that sometimes you will lose people, sometimes you will be unlucky and things suddenly turn south. Sometimes panic will set in, or your best squaddie will be zombified.
It creates 'moments'
And not all 'moments' have to be good ones. Sometimes the most fun in those games is when suddenly things go south, the aliens fuck you over, and that gets your heart racing to figure out how you can still correct things, to be reliant on every shot hitting, and that extra panic, or that utter joy, depending on if it does or not.
RNG can be frustrating yes, and I completely understand the dislike of it. But...without it, or at least without it sometimes favouring the baddies. It'd be a completely regular tactics game with none of the same suspense or afformentioned moments.
Better for some, sure. But it's those 'moments' of both joy at somehow turning things from the brink, that panic of the aliens getting the drop on you, that you remember.
This is purely devils advocate playing, I'm unsure-ish m'self on any particular full 'side' on it.
