I was always curious about the Playdate because Lucas Pope made a game for it and he’s a genius, but I never really could see myself justifying the massive price tag for what it is.

Also I hope you’re feeling better! It made me so happy to see a post from you again as I’ve missed seeing you around. Hope your health is improving ♥️

I definitely am a victim of over purchasing during deep sales and building an insurmountable backlog, but there is also something kind of nice about having a library waiting to browse after each game just waiting to install.

Regardless though, what I really wanted to say was: I’m seconding interest in your Python app, that sounds very useful actually!

Looks like a cool game, but considering how many reviewers bring up complaints about the platforming I think I’m going to steer clear to protect my sanity.

ZA/UM is the studio behind Disco Elysium, one of the most critically acclaimed and highest rated games of all time.

Didn’t you post this same exact question just the other day?

It does play out differently for different people, but for me it was like this: first half of the playtime I had so many things to investigate at once that I didn’t care about RNG because every run was making progress on something. Late game when I started needing specific things I had already had time to unlock RNG control.

Blue Prince took a solid month-and-a-half of my life and a good part of my little remaining sanity.

I know some people got annoyed by the RNG but I felt like we were afforded enough control over it by the end, and peeling back the mysteries and solving the insane late game puzzles was just so satisfying. I also really quite liked the moment-to-moment gameplay of drafting.

I don’t think it will suck. It will just be “more Hollow Knight” - which is perfectly fine and what people should have been expecting. Don’t think it will live up to the irrational hype though unless it’s literally the best game ever made.

Oh yes, for sure! That’s what I tend to tell people whose first Soulslike is Elden Ring: Dark Souls 1’s bosses will feel very underwhelming in comparison but the areas themselves will be equally or more challenging.

Though the DLC does have a couple of fun bosses. Make sure you look up how to enter it, it’s not something you’d stumble on naturally. Also you have to do it before the final boss, unlike later games NG+ starts automatically upon defeating the final boss.

Can’t help but agree.

A new Tenchu game is what we really need.

I still think Dark Souls 1 is more accessible than Elden Ring. Yes, ER offers more and better tools - like the aforementioned spirit ashes - but the complexity and demands of the boss fights are still much harder I would say.

I was asking the same thing a year ago 😅

Though it’s mainly multiple story-heavy games at once I couldn’t do myself I think. Jumping back and forth between Minecraft and Halo and Mario Kart and what have you feels slightly different.

At this point they’ve had time to basically go through a full development cycle post Hardsuit Labs firing, haven’t they? I think the game will be fine, it just won’t be the Bloodlines 2 we were initially promised - or wanted. As far as I know they more or less threw out 90% of the previous project, kept some assets and had The Chinese Room make a new game.

I wonder what the public response will be when Silksong releases and turns out to be just a good game and not literally curing cancer and resolving world hunger.
