But just get vampire survivor for $5 and get it over with it’s all you need

I don't dislike rogue-lite/like/whateverthefuck games, but they at least need to have some solid bones underneath (like 20XX being pure Mega Man).

BALL X PIT is insanely addicting.

It's a *good* phone game but it's still just a phone game

Halls of Torment is better for something similar

I was waiting for Dwarf Fortress (UI edition) to go on sale but I doubt it will

Imo the plebs have moved onto PC and they’re treating it like they would a console. The console warriors all migrated to PC and they treat it exactly like they did 32X/PS1/360, badmouthing other platforms constantly. I have never caught so much shit for playing Consoles as I have in the last few years. PC gamers used to be above it all. Now they’re just proles like OYT and doodikoff with no sense of Curation. Literally the opposite of Curation, buying everything in sight and totally overlooking the best games. The fact the PC cases look retarded and have weird lights on them is all the proof you need that I’m right. Accept it.

In the PS2/Xbox/shitcube gen there were tons of ports and the hardware was different but by that point at least Nerds didn’t need to code in assembly.

But now, and it’s not just “omg AAA Budgets, The state of gaming,” but the simple cost:benefit of like 1000 Engineering hours to port something when a million sales generates like $7,000,000k at $9.99/ea minus the distributor’s cut, so ports have like a 99.999% profit margin basically. How do you explain to Shareholders that a game being on Xbox “devalues the brand” lol.

Christ, you truly know nothing about Gaming nor the State thereof.

Lethal Company i never really got the hype for and it's pretty similar

there's a haunted museum heist game called "dark nights" or something in this genre that looks fun

I'm holding off on buying in the hope of a Switch 2 upgrade.

if you want a game that you can sink TONS of hours into based on a seemingly intriguing premise only for it to amount to very little in the end, you could try Hundred Line Last Defense Academy.

Mega Man Zero collection has been marked to the same "sale" price like 19 times in the past two years (and probably more times for a lot longer than that):

Agree though that the Steam sales aren’t as good as they used to be.

You’ve come out on other threads hard against some of my favorites this year (E33 and KCD2) but I’m not a backlog guy and always am looking to try new stuff now that I’m wrapping up Silksong.

A lot of the new stuff (Wotai, Outer Worlds 2) looks like slop to me.

In the last few months I had a lot of time in Gloomhaven/Frosthaven. These are games that if you just want to steamroll them on the default or lower difficulty aren't necessarily anything special, but at higher difficulty levels might be the best "tactics" type games out there. Frosthaven is the newer/harder/currently incomplete game, and the amount of strategy required to be good at it is absolutely insane. There is a big learning curve and the games are slow-paced, not flashy, and will piss off most players.

Before that I think I was playing some Slop on gamepass, and different rougelike and deckbuilding games. And also Library of Ruina.

This is probably the best game coming out soon:

Based on the demo, it will be listed with the GOAT shooters.

Should I bother with Hades 2?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5791473&forum_id=2E#49391075)

I thought Hades 2 was pretty good. I prefer the first game by far in terms of the gods/abilities, but like that the second has two distinct routes. Better than the vast majority of roguelikes, but there are dozens of games almost as good. The rest of the industry caught up in the time since Hades 1 came out.

The game is too easy (even on the harder difficulty) to where the ample time you are given to do everything is in conflict with the desperate situation portrayed by the plot. You have a raging faggot clone and it's hand-waved away as basically everyone having some gay in them depending on the circumstances. The third area was a big disappointment after the verticality of the second area, and the areas needed to be probably 2x-3x the size to preserve some illusion of "open world" exploration.

There was a concept of a good game that I don't think they fully executed on, but I did enjoy it some.
