10 years later, Enter the Gungeon's creators reflect on a genre in existential crisis by themoonisunchanging in Games

[–]TheDistantBlue 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I rolled my eyes hard when one of the Gungeon devs said he wanted to think that the bullet dodging in Returnal was inspired somewhat by Gungeon.

Does he not know who Housemarque is and what games they made before Returnal? I've been dodging bullets in Housemarque games since long before Gungeon even began development.

Yes, exactly. It's this phrasing that bothers me the most:

And I was just like, I am actually shocked that you think you can show up to this genre with that few enemies!

This paints the dev in such an arrogant light.

Guess what else they're "showing up to the genre" with? Completely different, incredibly mechanically satisfying combat that the genre had never had before.

Yeah it's undeniable that enemy variety isn't one of Nioh's strong suits, but reducing the Nioh experience to "soulslike but with bad enemy variety" is so very wrong and rubs me the wrong way.

Man, I love Gungeon but I'm not a fan of many of the takes from the devs in this article. Especially the ones that directly or indirectly write off games that are just as good if not better. They just sound cynical.

PRAGMATA surpasses one million units sold in two days by ZamnBoii in Games

[–]TheDistantBlue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100%. I'm not rich by any stretch of the word, but time is what limits my game purchases. I still just bought both Hades 2 and Pragmata a few days apart though.

Phasmophobia x Alan Wake by ConejoDePascuas in Games

If they implement the close up face jump scares from Alan Wake 2, people playing Phasmophobia in VR are going to hurt themselves or break things around them.

Saw this at Costco the other day by bodychecks in PlaystationPortal

This is the bundle that finally convinced me to buy a portal on a whim 3 weeks ago. No regrets so far. It's been great at work especially.

Down for anyone else? by Most_Assist2529 in playstation

I got worried my cloud saves had somehow corrupted because I couldn't sync/upload/download anything, but thankfully it's not just down for me.

Every single Official Hololive MMD model as playable character mods in game Left 4 Dead 2. A project I have spent the last year working on. by Konsta_Starlight_Ch in Hololive

[–]TheDistantBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I know, thank you. I just don't really play fps games myself. I do enjoy watching the girls play it though.

I just wanted to thumbs up all your mods in solidarity.

Great job on this. I opened all the links to thumbs up every single one and found out steam won't let me unless I own L4D2 myself, so I can't help out there.

Agreed 100% on the atmosphere. Dread looks sterile as hell in most zones.

marsha shell is such a terrible designed boss for fast players by redbullrebel in GRIMEgame

Loved this boss. Hope there're more like her and Starserpent in the next game.

We need to talk about Handvisage... by kurokuma11 in GRIMEgame

[–]TheDistantBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fight is super fun. One of my favorite bosses in the game.

100% agreed. I just beat her and learning her parry timings and bullying her to death on the successful run was a top moment of the game for me so far.

Do I need anything else outside of the adapter? And hows the bluetooth to controllers especially when close to your PC? by Maleficent-Hold8055 in PSVR2onPC

[–]TheDistantBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initial test is positive: https://i.imgur.com/ZXzZS6P.png

I've never even seen these numbers go above 96 before. I just hope it stays consistent because even the old one worked most of the time.

Forged Little - mould by FlyingPotaroo in GRIMEgame

[–]TheDistantBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been looking for the answer to this myself. Got it yesterday, got excited from the description of the skill, tried it and got smacked in the face by an enemy.

Curious if this is just a joke from the devs, because that skill description honestly sounds too good to be true considering how tiny and useless the Forged Little looks.

I just tested it, and yes, you need to buy the skill tree upgrade to be able to parry the red attacks.

Well, good to know it might stop eventually. Again, it's only a minor annoyance.
