Oh no, you’re correct there, it’s just sort of a shame that they took an otherwise pretty level tweet and then made the headline sound like he was being dismissive

I mean, the article is just 70% quoting the guy’s tweet, it’s barely an article.

Oh no, I’m not talking about how deeply interesting the name is. Just the fact that the cat has the word anus in its name.

Edit: I also sound pretty judgmental in my comments about this game. I do genuinely want it to be good! I just feel it’s an easy trap for a game to be so directly influenced as it draws high comparisons. I assume the devs know what they’re getting into there, so I hope they pull it off on release! Lots of games have high level similarities that don’t mean much when you’re in the nitty gritty of playing it. I hope it’s the case here.

Yeah, the gameplay would have to really redeem it. Looking at the trailer it is unlikely they’ll outdo or even match Danganronpa in art style, music, and it’ll be tough to see how it stacks up in writing and worldbuilding. It also seems to lack voice acting. The advantage is that Danganronpa’s mini games have been mostly just tolerable to me, so the card system could almost easily beat it there, but I never played Danganronpa for the gameplay anyway.

To take this much inspiration is dangerous because if it falls short enough of Danganronpa’s quality, then people looking for this sort of story would be easily recommended to play the established, polished series instead. Also, nobody is gonna mention that they named the big evil cat Nyanus?

That’s a good comparison. I suppose both games use permadeath, but don’t end your run with them, and they both do feature the cyclical nature and variety of possibilities that you might expect from a roguelike.

That’s one that I was hesitant to include, because I feel like it’s more to do with my love of the era Bioware made, and nostalgia than it is a promotion of how the game holds up nowadays. But I personally love KoTOR!

Some single player games I’ve replayed often that aren’t roguelikes would be…

Dishonored Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 Prey 2017 Hitman, but specifically the World of Assassination games Bethesda RPGs Grand Theft Auto/Rockstar, specifically for me 5 or Red Dead Redemption Dark Souls (I replay it on offline mode predominantly anyway) Dying Light Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor/War Halo MCC campaigns Mount & Blade series Katana ZERO Vanquish/other platinum games

Ahh, I see, so the solution is that he needs to cut bone mass off his legs until he’s 3 feet tall. Maybe eye surgery was the better option after all.

That’s a pretty excellent list. I don’t think I’d call Xcom roguelike since its campaigns are incredibly long endeavours, but they are good games.

You got some big ones. Just know what sorts of games you like to play and look for well reviewed roguelikes in those genres.

I think the problem you may have had before is that you mistook roguelike for its own pure genre, when in the modern sense it’s actually a game format and platform for gameplay, and the gameplay can be anything, from turn based to action, 2d to 3d. Traditional roguelikes like nethack are a genre, but roguelites/roguelikes nowadays can play like anything.

Personally in the FPS roguelike department I’ve been really enjoying Roboquest.

I’d never heard of these networks. Thank you

Thanks! I’ll take a read

I can understand that. So it seems I can find a subject that may be important, read articles from each side and be able to discern the truth from the differences between them all

I appreciate the information provided. I’ll look into it and keep a critical mind

Thank you for this!

I just mean fundamentally understanding the way the law works from the bottom up, and trying to get a handle on the ramifications that may not be obvious when it comes to the things I can vote for, especially different government positions in local and federal.

I would hate to learn about this from a biased site that omits certain information or something so that I’m crippled in my understanding

OP has made a fatal mistake by making that criteria the last sentence of the description instead of in the title. Irrelevant suggestions ahoy!

I hope you thoroughly enjoy it like I did!

I started with Freedom Unite on a PSP as an early teen, but had no idea what the fuck was happening, just that it all looked awesome.

Then in my early 20s I resolved to learn Generations Ultimate. I slightly gripe about how almost all non hunting quests have disappeared in World & Rise, because it takes away your ability to change the pacing of the game without putting it down for a more relaxing game.

However, what World did to MH’s weapon movesets in its expansion and… sleekening is incredible, and the move to open levels with no load zones along with the interactions of multiple monsters does an incredible amount to the atmosphere and experience.

So I love GU and I love World. And I love Rise. It’s a series I pre-order because I know that even if it might be different, I know the developers gave a huge fat shit about the game as they made it and it shows.

Yes! I love the system of using the triggers for different weapons. You can weave them through your combos effortlessly. The level design is really cool and just continually gets cooler as you go.
