Oh man I can see me putting some hours into this on Steam Deck!

Just ignore the “triple A” industry and games are usually great. Lots of small passionate studios still pumping out quality stuff.

Just another lesson to wait months after a games release before even considering it.

Actual good feature from apple.

Game is boring. Ubisoft somehow eclipsing EA at shitting the bed in every aspect.

He was though, some people might have known his name from Metal Gear, but majority of people didnt. Then TGA and Death Stranding rolled around and suddenly we were told we should care.

Aha, yeah I realise my mistake now. I was tired so I will let myself off.

He takes no more ‘experimental swings’ than hundreds of indie developers. The only difference is, his studio has the money for the marketing campaigns.

I know right? He was suddenly hyped up so much, I guess it’s one way to sell games. I’d understand if it was Miyamoto or something, but the man made Metal Gear and not everyone has even heard of that.
He was heavily pushed with geoff keighley’s the game awards partnership he made.

To be fair, chromium aside, edge did start as a nice browser, but as with all MS products, they end up getting riddled with more and more bullshit over time.

Just use Firefox.

Mmm yeah, The Berlin Interpretation is way too specific, things like the graphics/grid etc. If some game fits more than half the factors, perhaps that should be considered ‘like’ enough? But I do understand why people can get anal about some games being categorised as Roguelike when they are infact not very similar at all.

I think it boils down to genre being misused in general, there’s games with large open spaces called Open World, when they are not really, games that are called MMO when they are not. RPG games that are not actually RPG etc etc etc. Rogue fans just made a bigger deal out of it.

It’s fine if a game is categorised more specifically, the problem is people getting upset that something is a Roguelite and not a Roguelike.
It doesn’t matter, no genre is better than the other, your game isn’t by default worse because it’s a Roguelite and isn’t by default better because it’s a Roguelike, it’s just a genre definition to help people find similar games.

I get that some might think they are too similar, but in that case we should just keep Roguelike and then define Roguelite games in a different way. At the moment a problem is games that have the ‘run’ gameplay, but nothing else like Rogue and then call themselves Roguelikes, but that’s like having a bonfire checkpoint system in a visual novel and calling it Soulslike.

Hades would be considered Roguelite, doesnt mean its a bad game, its great.

I have, it’s dry. It’s a ‘as wide as an ocean, as deep as a puddle’ kind of game.
The devs couldn’t even finish their previous game, it’s sketchy.

That game is an asset flip for sure. Just another AI scam game, of which we will see thousands and thousands of in the coming years. Developers history is just red flags all over.

Nintendo actually try something new with their consoles too, so that’s at least good.
Everyone should be moving to PC though, you actually have freedom there. I think Steam machines would do pretty good if they came out now.

Yes. Yes. Yes. The whale comment pisses me off, it might have been true initially, but these days all the average consumers spend money on this trash.

The only reason anyone wants to sell consoles is to get you locked in that ecosystem and sell you games. They don’t make a profit on the hardware, Xbox game pass is their headstart into purely game sales, well a subscription and cloud service that everyone is trying to jump on right now.
