This should be higher up. Roguelite is a dead term imo. Language has evolved such that roguelike and roguelite are basically the same. The nuances change between every person you ask. So the debate is completely pointless. Just call them all roguelikes, and if you are referring to the traditional ones, call them as such. Traditional, classic, true, whatever.
This is the only point that matters. Even if AI is here to stay, that’s fine, you just don’t use it when specifically highlighting the demographic most threatened by its usage. The post was just a bad business decision; they should have known how it could come across. It’s their job to know that kinda stuff before hitting Post.
My opinion: Follow the Apex Legends one. Don’t tell the public literally anything. Build up zero hype, and then release it out of nowhere and let the game speak for itself. No hype = no overinflated expectations or impatient gamers. Obviously not every studio should do this, but I wish more would. I enjoy being pleasantly surprised, rather than wait for a game for years, only for it to be overpromised and DOA.
They don't have a choice for some countries. If the item costs more to ship to somewhere and inport than it does to make it, then by selling the item they are losing money and it makes no sense to sell.
I can understand frustration with a product not being available in your region, but wouldn't the anger be better directed at the transportation companies pricing up int'l trade and governments with import taxes and such? I don't totally understand the general sentiment that companies should sell products at a loss just to get it everywhere.
I'm not trying to defend companies or anything, I just never understand why they're the first to blame.
They literally just gave Yahtzee a new segment. Actually unreal. Hope they find a new better job soon, we all know how talented they are.
I really, really hope that it doesn't get overrun with cheaters like warzone did. I have really high hopes for the game because I'm having a blast with the beta. Not often does a game come along out of nowhere and just tick all the boxes with having such a solid formula. Last game I felt like this with was Alex Legends. Pls devs don't screw this up 🙏
That sounds like an absolute nightmare to realistically navigate but I would love to see it.
"Why do planets have borders, I want to circumnavigate Mars"
Literally. Gamers be like
"No more crunch culture! Take your time and release when it's ready!"
also
"Why do games take so long??"
…what. He just made an analogy about not consuming unethical beans. That's literally his point. So no, he does not consume the beans.
For sure! It seems like DX 12 mode has raytracing and it really adds a lot of polish.
I think you meant Deadlink, but yeah that’s what I was gonna put too. Really gripping. Dying in it gives you that bittersweet push to make you want to try again.
Fifa 21 was released October 2020. 3 years is how long you can expect EA to let you play a game you paid for. That should be illegal.
Shenzhen IO is essentially the sequel and another great buy if you want to add circuitry to the mix.
Is it any easier to find roguelites instead of roguelikes, or vice versa? The terms are so similar, and everyone has a different definition, that any nuance when tag searching is lost. I respectfully disagree, I feel like anyone asking where to find traditional roguelikes knows where to find them better than finding roguelikes instead of roguelites, etc etc.
