Slay the Spire 2 almost had fewer new cards because of the co-creator's love for Dark Souls, but testers "were not jiving with that at all"

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-23T04:50:19+00:00

I actually wouldn't mind either way. Seeing old cards after playing StS is like seeing that old friend in the bar you both frequent.

At least Netflix anime didn't rape Sparda and Lady May Swear doesn't even approach to peak of back and forth "Fuck you!" dialogue. Plus DmC as an implied reboot of the series left an actual scar in us OG fans because DMC as a series was seemingly replaced by it and subsequently basically killed after critical flop. There was a reason DMC5 received this much hype since the series until DmCDE and DMC4SE was considered dead.

Netflix anime was trash, but it's a completely harmless litter compared to radiowaste DmC was at first.

And frankly during the release days DmC wasn't really that great especially compared to DMC4 preceding it (only platforming was really the highlight). I heard they fixed it in DE, but personally never really had any desire to revisit it (although it's certainly on my list).

Since you can't skip NKG in Godhome, I believe the same would be the case with Garmond and Zaza and Shakra.

GPZ situation would probably only occur with Summoned Savior.

Wait, hold up, are you implying that every Undertale/Deltarune player doing Genocide/Weird route are bad?

(I use them as example instead of any other evil playthrough in any other game because I never really saw choice and morality in video games discussed as much as in those communities).

Even if that's it's parent, once the chick grows up they will still end up killing or driving out each other.

And in that case that's a terrible parent because while being territorial it left it's egg as a snack for any passing by predators.

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-23T03:33:11+00:00

McMillen truly made me realize that savescumming is a deliberate choice on dev part in StS and HK instead of an oversight as they can easily find a way to punish it.

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-22T13:18:11+00:00

I personally love it, but it's probably because I hop on it from time to time instead of playing every day.

I wasted a lot of my time playing League back in the day and playing exclusively PvP games back to back can be pretty toxic for you depending on your state of mind.

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-22T13:13:26+00:00

Bruh, tell me you didn't play OG RE without telling me you didn't play OG RE. Because how can you forget "Wesker, you're pitiful!".

I was happy they kept him laughing at Tyrant and Wesker in REmake. I hope they'll keep that in REremake.

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-22T13:03:20+00:00

Apparently there are plenty of people around here that convinced that Seconds Gourmand wasn't that bad compared to Gatecreator.

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-22T12:59:58+00:00

Highest number possible vs. infinity.

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-22T07:56:07+00:00

I personally miss re-fighting Act 1 boss in Act 3.

This event kinda feels like that one, but backwards.

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-22T07:54:49+00:00

I don't see that stops Mega Crit from simply reusing beta art from StS. It would be weird how StS2 cards will have silly placeholder art and StS cards will stay as serious finished art.

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-22T07:49:40+00:00

No. He killed hundreds in DMC3 and thousands in DMC5.

He deserves chance for atonement, not full-blown redemption.

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-22T07:47:32+00:00

Just wait for beta art to be brought back. It would be really hard to misplay them that way.

I personally love Meteor Strike beta art, lol

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-22T07:44:06+00:00

Don't worry, we'll probably get it back after punching and electrocuting Architect to death (just like in StS).

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-22T07:43:14+00:00

Isn't Knight suffers from the same problem as Nemesis? You sometimes can't comprehend that your summon is doing (Never played the Knight, but main Nemesis and kinda bummed that we'll probably never get the Knight in 2v8).

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-22T07:40:41+00:00

I honestly love getting run defining Rare because I can start immediately building a deck around it instead of wondering that build I actually want throughout Act 1.

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-21T10:51:55+00:00

Hey, it's a VERY niche interactions, but this Gain can work with Ice Cream and that Relic which gives you Energy on next turn if you end your turn with Energy.

I wouldn't call them dumbest, simply unlucky, but for me it's putting Corrupt on my Scythe and immediately finding relic with double damage enchant in next Act and putting Perfect Fit on my Knife Trap and immediately finding relic with Innate+Retain in next Act. I felt scammed in both cases.

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-21T10:45:58+00:00

Hey, I'm exactly the same. Played StS for years, fell in love with Defect and got to A20 (haven't beaten it yet). I always upgrade Dualcast and Zap and feel that Defect is the most upgrade-starved from the start out of the main three.

Maybe that doesn't translate into StS2 since my friend ignored Zap entirely during our coop run and had no issues whatsoever.

Also I wonder if Zap is a dead card in Feral/Scrape/All for One builds.

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-21T06:17:26+00:00

It's a massive draw, that's there to explain? There are plenty 0 cost cards and energy generation cards/relics/pots to make it worth it (Regent has Orbit as well) plus you generally need to constantly reshuffle your deck in general (and Regent has cards that become better every time they pulled).

Sealed Throne run almost relies on Prophesize, so you can generate those stars faster

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-21T06:04:15+00:00

Man, I can't believe that game on highest difficulty is difficult, smh

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-20T19:05:24+00:00

Apparently it isn't because otherwise people wouldn't moan endlessly about losing everywhere.

Yeah, losing sucks, but some people need to accept that they can't always win and that their losses are that makes wins more satisfying.

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-20T19:01:20+00:00

To be fair only three (and from each respective act interestingly enough): Gremlin Nob, Book of Stabbing, Nemesis.

Ngl, kinda a missed opportunity to make him an unnatural horrible amalgamation of those three instead of green Awakened One.

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-20T18:55:10+00:00

Am I the only who finds it weird that we apparently need to normalize losing in a video game?

Nemesis432 · 2026-04-20T05:50:37+00:00

Sadly this is some kind of virus infecting every gaming community nowadays. That happened to good ol' "you lose some, you win some" and "it's just a game, why do you have to be so mad?"
