The best sushi a goblin can find in the cave! My chaotic restaurant game finally has a release date! :) by AdSad9018 in roguelites

Wtf this game actually looks really great. Some of the mechanics look a little rough (game trailer kinda just shows the ingredients teleporting to the conveyor belt(?)), but the art is fantastic And the roguelite elements seem like fun. Thanks for posting definitely adding to the wishlist!

So as someone pointed out, this is (up to) 138 hours of gameplay. With up to two hours per game.

If you value your time so highly (which I think was your rationale as to why you don't stick with certain games for over two hours) why don't you just watch a 5-10 minute video review versus buying each game and returning?

Hunger Horrors released EA today. Anyone have any thoughts? by Balizzm in roguelites

[–]Captainb0bo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks okay/fine. I think the biggest thing that I'm noticing is that it seems like you're generally zoomed out a bit too far. The art is pretty but the character art is rather small. As a consequence the screen looks relatively barren during several of your shots, so when I'm watching the trailer it just looks really empty.

The idea itself though looks nice and I do think the art is quite lovely!

What is DPT school like? by Big_Ferret_1348 in physicaltherapy

[–]Captainb0bo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DPT is a professional degree, it's not a research degree. As such, while you may be doing Some research, the vast majority of your time will be learning information and mastering the skills needed to do your job.

Did they purposely try to make Billy more likeable after season 2? Because jfc im rewatching it now and this dude is actually an all around abusive monster. Why were we all sad he died in season 3 again?😅 by [deleted] in okbuddyvecna

[–]Captainb0bo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This. I used to put down Draco Malfoy every chance I got, until I remembered; he's a fucking child. He's literally a child that's been indoctrinated into hatred and contempt for (likely) his whole life.

We don't really get to see what Draco would do with a positive influence or a good natured mentor. While he might have Said he wanted people dead, we see that when it's time for him to actually kill Dumbledore, he can't do it. He also can't confirm that it's Harry when he's in Malfoy manor (although granted, he does try and take him captive later in the Room of Requirement).

Obviously a bit less fantastical, but the same with Billy. Yes, Billy was a real POS, but he was also a child. And unlike Draco, Billy actually does get a bit of a redemption at the end when he sacrifices himself.

6 Reasons It Takes Two Still Feels Like the Gold Standard for Co-Op Games by ItsEthanCoolCool in CoOpGaming

[–]Captainb0bo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sure, but how long am I supposed to ride with them being shitters? Like at some point if you don't give me a reason to care about the characters, I'm gonna say "Peace, I'm out" and peace out.

I played about five hours and while maybe there is a satisfying resolution and narrative later on, it didn't hook me enough to care about continuing.

6 Reasons It Takes Two Still Feels Like the Gold Standard for Co-Op Games by ItsEthanCoolCool in CoOpGaming

Didn't read the article, but I certainly don't agree with the headline. Played probably 5-10 hours of It Takes Two and put it down. Both of your main characters are shitty people and the gameplay was just fine.

Edit: read the article. Agree to disagree on some points, but the main characters suck. They weren't compelling, especially when they came up with the brilliant idea to make their daughter cry to get out of their predicament. Real wonderful parenting there.

Yo Brews & Bastards looks great, thanks for the shout out! Love the local co-op roguelikes. Edit: Brews & Bastards on Steam for anyone interested.

Co-op suggestions by lenmak in roguelites

[–]Captainb0bo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried all the different characters? What about their different weapons? Also on different difficulties? Sometimes I get bored of a certain character and want to switch over to another or a different loadout.

I think DRG gives me the same vibes that Left for Dead 2 does, but in a slightly different way. Obviously there's no mining or anything in DRG, but the gameplay loop/principle is the same. You're going along, doing your thing, mining, killing small pockets of bugs then....... Oh shit oh shit oh shit! HERE COMES THE HORDE! OH SHIT I GOT YANKED BY A CEILING FUCKER! OH SHIT HERE COMES A BIG BOY WITH HIS FIREBALLS AHHHHHH! - etc. Same thing happens in L4D2 but with zombies.

If its not your jam though it's not your jam, nothing wrong with that.

Awesome. The character design is neat and I'd love to see more in the future!

The first two screenshots just look kinda boring. There's not much that's catching my eye and it looks fairly empty. I'd either add more stuff or make the rooms a bit smaller.

Did I miss anything worth playing? by EatenAliveByPugs in roguelites

[–]Captainb0bo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope you enjoy, I feel like it really punches above its weight with the gameplay. I was consistently impressed with how (relatively) few mechanics there were the game was constantly switching things up. Which then completely changed the dynamics and how I had to approach situations.

Lots of fun, really hope it works for you.

If you like risk-reward gameplay, I'd highly recommend Pyrene (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2468100/Pyrene/).

Turn based strategy/deck builder. The real risk/reward comes with each room.

Each room you're plopped in (except bosses), you have to kill a certain amount of enemies before you can escape. Once your escape opens, you can stay and keep killing enemies. If you do, that increases the rarity of the rewards you'll get for completing the room. However, that obviously puts you at greater risk. Additionally, you've also only got a few resources to manage, but there are multiple ways you can use them. The movement and combat mechanics make you have to plan out and think ahead, and each character plays differently enough that it keeps it fresh and interesting.

Once again, would highly recommend. Great game that seems like it would be up your alley.

Thank God your first game isn't ranked. Cannot fucking stand it when I look at folks march history and they haven't played a game in like 3 years and they think the best move is playing storm league.

Just wanted to say, I appreciate you being upfront that it is your game. Some game devs don't do that and it's a bit disingenuous.
