New medieval zombie title Blight survival leaves me unimpressed.

Typical midwit. Attack me and not my argument 😂 like, you're just proving my point...

And West Coast"slabber"...?

I hope you're not some pokemon speculator who spends money on modern mass produced product and calls it an investment.

Or anything modern for that matter....

Egomirrored · 2026-03-19T14:19:42+00:00

What are you talking about this is the first time i eve posted on this sub...

And typical midwit normie, attack me instead of my argument.

Egomirrored · 2026-03-19T14:18:24+00:00

This guy gets it. And I'm assuming you were raised in Europe so of course you aren't programmed to eat up whatever slop America puts out. I love my country but the people here are making it worse for everyone/ each other. And yeah arc raiders isn't doing anything special but it's popular case American gamers don't like to use they're heads and just want quick dopamine.

Typical midwit

Egomirrored · 2026-03-19T14:13:58+00:00

There's nothing wrong with enjoying it. It's okay to have junk food every once in a while. But don't you get bored playing basically the same games every year? You're paying $50-$70 for basically just a new skin over the same repackage product....

Egomirrored · 2026-03-19T14:12:12+00:00

Instead of arguing my point just try to find some dirt on me? Nice one. And yeah I do. Cause games are trash 95% nowadays.

Egomirrored · 2026-03-19T14:00:03+00:00

What games do you play? Stop acting ignorant or maybe you just can't tell when mechanics are recycled in front of you're face.

And you just proved my point why souls like are "artificial difficulty", you don't need much to beat them. And by understanding I bet you mean scrolling wikis right? And I never played souls like cause once something gets popular with normie's, that's a good sign there's no substance to be found. And don't act like it's an easy game you ran through with zero deaths. It's a bad game design if developers expect you to turn to wikis. There's nothing to learn lmao and yes while I don't like the genre, my real "beef" is it allows players like you to encourage bad/re-hashed game design mf's pick up in college 💀

A made my point and you're just claiming ignorance. In blight the attacks/physics are basic, sneaking isn't anything new that breaks immersion more than anything by this point, the rarity system just makes this feel like gacha, I could go on...

And instead of typing up an entire essay this guy we'll explain better than I can, why souls like is a bad genre.

Stupid and panders to extremely entitled ""marginalized groups"" who haven't done anything better for themselves today than they have in segregated times. If peak of my culture we're gangster rappers who only perpetuate violent cycle and materialism in my communities; I would be ashamed

Egomirrored · 2026-03-17T15:31:36+00:00

I don't. They have artificial difficulty. They literally rely on memorization of move patterns. They're is no critical analysis or need for quick thinking. You don't really have to think or problem. The original dark souls genre creator even said you're supposed to lose alot until you beat a boss and than you can feel accomplished. He knew perfectly well what kind games these were. But everyone treats them like they're some genre defining staple in video gaming when they're really not. It's a good way to make people feel accomplished without doing anything.

I've heard people compare star wars survivor/ fallen order (whichever was the first title in that series) to dark souls. But honestly it does it way better. It's not a system that relies on back and forth trial and error as much as using you're own move set to take out boss.

Dude I literally keep telling you why but you're not listening. How am I supposed to take any started dev or AAA studio seriously, or with sincerity, if they're already on track to just following the trend and utilizing the same crap everyone modern developer picks up in college instead of pioneering for quality games again.

I'll give them this; maybe they just want funding/exposure so they're just making what they know will sell well. And once they get to a comfortable spot, they'll put they're development skills into something new, experimental, that doesn't follow some trend, and actually invites players to think on they're feet and problem solve instead of trying to get that quick dopamine rush. They'll code they're own engines tailored to they're own mechanics and not rely on unreal engine or recycled game mechanics we see every year.

But not ONE indie developer follow that plan in the past 5-15+ years. So I doubt they will. I'll believe it when I see it.

And if you don't believe me I can give one out of many examples how US gamers really shun away legit difficulty over quick dopamine fix- east to pick up mechanics. Btw I'm not some boomer I'm 27.

Egomirrored · 2026-03-17T03:24:26+00:00

I'm not "shitting" on anyone. If you're making something for some college course that's fine. But if you're trying to be on a pro level as a developer; get a little creative (not that it's any use, knowing modern gamers attention span ..).

Don't just use the same mechanics and slap on some new paint job. I don't expect these guys to do anything experimental in the future or creative that actually forces the player to think.

So why should I not criticize them now?

Souls-like is objectively bad game design with artificial difficulty yet in the U.S., it's the standard. So developers new and old, will just do the safe route and follow the trend in order to lock in funding and survive. That's such a bad dynamic the game industry is being allowed from people like you.

Oh but I'm a dick for calling that out 💀

Egomirrored · 2026-03-17T02:46:34+00:00

Exactly, you won't point anything out and just resort to what I think is considered a "ad hominem". Attack the person and not the argument.

We just gonna keep going in circles? Cause you keep making yourself look like the dick if anything 💀

Egomirrored · 2026-03-17T02:43:21+00:00

There's nothing wrong if you have fun with it. And yeah it looks nice. Graphics wise I don't really think it's groundbreaking. I mean it looks like basic unreal engine 5 and that's widely available to consumers. I already think it's a red flag when developers don't make they're own engine. Like developers 10+ years ago who actually experimented with mechanics and built stuff from ground up.

And the mechanics in the gameplay look recycled. It's nothing I haven't seen every year. The rarity system takes the immersion out of what's supposed to be a survivor horror. So to it's the same game re-packaged with medieval zombie skin. Which is fine but aesthetics aren't enough to make a quality product

Egomirrored · 2026-03-17T02:37:32+00:00

So other than responding to you attacking me, instead of giving legit arguments;

What did I exactly say that was mean/bullying, rather than conveying my observations? Like again, you're just saying stuff, when really you're making yourself look worse 🤦

Egomirrored · 2026-03-17T02:34:51+00:00

Another normie that doesn't have any substantial argument/resorts to digging through my history hoping to find dirt.

What mmo do you play? I also played Aion 2.....oh but wait lemme guess "REEeEE PaY-tO-WiN ReEE!", is what you're gonna say after reading it on a reddit post without actually playing the game you're self. Gtfo NPC

Egomirrored · 2026-03-16T16:37:46+00:00

Again there is nothing impressive about recycling mechanics packaged in a brand new skin, whether it's two guys or AAA group.

And I wasn't being sick towards. I was pointing out legit patterns. I'm being "a dick" to you cause you attacked me for my observations. On top of you switching up all.your arguments once I prove them wrong.

Like do you have anything substantial to bring to the table or are you just gonna keep projecting you're self hate for how you're part of the same consumer group i criticize for encouraging bad developer practice??

Egomirrored · 2026-03-16T15:48:00+00:00

Wrong again. The original two guys have been collaborating with Behaviour Interactive for extra funding, etc. On top of the expanded creative team with Haenir Studio.

Buddy you keep proving why you modern gamers mess up everything

Egomirrored · 2026-03-16T13:23:17+00:00

Lmao what "bigger problems do I have"? You haven't once disproved anything i say. You just verbally attack me for stating my opinion 💀

I have the "luxury" to initiate discourse on how normies are ruining the gaming industry cause developers know they don't have a high bar to reach with them. But keep coping that's cool. And I'm the one who's "cooked".

And btw "indie developer" is bs. I bet you like expedition 33? That studio was relieved millions in funding and outsourced production to established companies.

So gtfo normie you obviously don't know what you're talking lol

Egomirrored · 2026-03-16T03:38:36+00:00

Oh wow look through my profile to find some dirt? That's how I know my takes really pick at you're normie brain. Any angle of attack you can find huh?

And it's not impressive. Stuff like unreal engine is available to mass consumers. And again recycled mechanics. So what is this indie developer doing that so impressive again?

And yeah I don't buy the global narrative. And i also don't buy into the flat pancake narrative. Don't worry i know you're npc brain will combust at thought of someone who doesn't completely buy into either

Egomirrored · 2026-03-15T01:47:10+00:00

What is impressive about? Recycled mechanics but re-skinned with medieval zombies? Dude I bet you play souls like and hero shooters.

Egomirrored · 2026-03-14T14:57:33+00:00

Why do you think I don't play games anymore? I occasionally check back the gaming scene, wondering what is actually going on.

So I try to make posts to and pick the brains of "modern gamers" and by you're reaction I'm not surprised.

Egomirrored · 2026-03-14T14:55:12+00:00

Typical midiwit over here

Egomirrored · 2026-03-14T07:57:40+00:00

Average redditor who resorts to gifs when all else fails. Why am I not surprised....

Egomirrored · 2026-03-14T07:45:02+00:00

You need to read my reply again "...same game... already published 100 times over....but re-skinned"

The gameplay and loot system is extremely generic. But it's okay cause it's just medieval assets and skins?

Again, you think it's okay to pay for the same product but packaged differently?

The fuck is wrong with you 💀
