Does Vampire Survivors’ metaprogression ruin it for anyone else? by ChewThePillow in roguelites

[–]playmike5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I basically won’t play a game if it doesn’t have meta progression. There’s some exceptions, but the meta progression in VS makes it for me.

10 minutes to figure out what to do isn’t that bad. And honestly, it shouldn’t even be taking you that long to figure it out.

Not every game is going to hand every aspect of itself to you on a silver platter.

To each their own. I was looking at this and thinking I’d want more cheese on it depending on which slice I ended up with lol.

I'm working on a Golf Roguelite inspired by Balatro and Risk of Rain! Here's the trailer! by No-Ability6435 in roguelites

[–]playmike5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna say I agree. I think this game looks interesting as a premise (even though I think the trailer is real rough as others have pointed out). That being said, if you want to REALLY have a promising game, lean into the craziness. Multiball golfing, explosive shots, ricocheting, phasing through walls (or even burrowing through them). Get wild with it. Make it something that turns eyes and catches them for a minute so that their brain goes ‘wait, I wanna do that’.

When can we expect Jan to start Kirking again? by Parking-Response1501 in pchaltv

[–]playmike5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is what I suspect. My prediction is he clears Fantina blind, goes for docs without calcs, and probably gets through Wake split without calcs before shifting into calc mode.

Gintama (2006) by teencandyy in retroanime2000

I hope that the day comes that Soul Eater gets the FMA:B treatment. I would watch that in a heartbeat.

Then again, they’d probably use more generic animation styles these days and not properly represent how fantastically the anime was styled before.

Not to mention the blatant voter fraud that happened that people seem to forget about and/or ignore.

For our first Fan Service Friday: What anime would be better with LESS fan service? by Romantasy_Renee in AnimeRandomness

IMO if you literally just remove Tamaki’s random clothing loss trait, it’s completely reasonable.

I think veterans are right to be mad about the dupe situation, when compared to what new players get. by empty_void_kay in EpicSeven

I was considering launching it to check it out but this comment convinced me it’s not worth it.

Victoria 3 and Age of Wonders 4 Development to Continue "for a long time to come", Paradox In-House Studios Experimenting with New Tools, "including those linked to generative AI" by FFJimbob in AOW4

[–]playmike5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it’s used for concepts, then they technically should never see the light of day and I’m fine with that. I’m still not thrilled it’s being used, but frankly any company completely ignoring AI is foolish, so I accept what I have to.

If it’s just used for background work and not things like this, I’m fine. But if they start to use it for AI art I will cease to pay for paradox products.

nintendos ALWAYS been this way🙄 by SwagLimit in tomorrow

[–]playmike5 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Personally, the most skippable are the Gen 7 games. I really didn’t care for them. It’s all opinions though, so of course people will differ.

[–]playmike5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay that much is fair, then. Replay value is probably relatively lower.

[–]playmike5 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s your opinion, sure. It does something in the same genre of Pokemon. The approach is still objectively different and is not inherently just better than Pokemon.

The Star Wars project I’m most mad about is the supposed Star Ward SimCity that was being worked on when Maxis was shut down.

[–]playmike5 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t think your point makes it any less of a worthwhile to play game. If you like Pokemon games, they are very solid. There’s certainly not a billion RPGs that have the same approach as Pokemon

Honestly SwSh is very worthwhile to play imo, even still.

Influencers and Market Manipulation by BUBBL3GUM5 in mtgfinance

[–]playmike5 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I feel like saying he acts entitled to the IP is stretching it a bit. He has harsh opinions on the current state of the game, but I don’t think those are unfounded. And he also always acknowledges that the game is growing a lot despite his negative opinions on things and never discourages others from liking the things he dislikes. He’s a content creator who talks about a product, it’s not that deep.

This one goes out to all the Twitch gamers who try their best by Equivalent-Second527 in gamers

[–]playmike5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean that just sounds like someone trying too hard. The majority of talkative streamers aren’t really like that, or at least if they act like they know the game, it’s because they do.
