Otter Inc. will take over Req, but they'll use the Req name. On April 23 2015 07:00 Ketara wrote: This just in: Dan is a god, but I never wanted to see Egoraptor in the pink leotard. | ||

I've heard some of the alternate soundtracks and seen the new levels and the depth they've added to the game. It looks so fucking good I'm really happy I bought it last year. Maybe I'll stream that too once my month of hell is over. | ||

The Curse of Steam. i was referring to this http://www.gameinformer.com/games/sunless_sea/b/pc/archive/2015/02/10/seafaring-stories-to-tell-in-the-dark.aspx also I think all games should let you free farm for levels/experience/items. I don't like it when you literally have to fight the game engine to maximize stuff. also I hate games that randomly decides what gets leveled up and by how much (I don't want to spend my time manipulating the game engine) | ||

I don't like it when you literally have to fight the game engine to maximize stuff. also I hate games that randomly decides what gets leveled up and by how much (I don't want to spend my time manipulating the game engine) Limited encounter availability lets the designers have better control over the difficulty level when designing encounters. It's easier to make fights that are interesting and challenging, and not too difficult or too easy when the levels/resources available to the player at a given point in the game only fluctuate within a small potential range. When you have random battles that can be fought potentially limitlessly, it's really hard to create encounters that are interesting to someone who fought them meticulously while not making it too hard for someone who skipped fights fairly liberally. I enjoy farming too, but there's definitely a lot of upside to limited resource availability in an RPG. Also, yes, randomized stat gains are retarded--I don't know who the first developer who decided that was a good idea. On April 23 2015 10:36 onlywonderboy wrote: FTL is good but man I was bad at it. The game gets easier the moment you get your first ship unlock unless it's one of the weirder ones. The most likely first unlocks like the Kestrel B or the Federation Cruiser make the game WAY easier, especially since they don't necessarily need particular special playstyles to win with, but are for the most part just better than the default Kestrel A. | ||

I get that It just annoys me. especially in action games where I beat the whole game and don't have all the abilities unlocked then I have to stop playing for fun and start playing to try to get the highest score each round etc. I just wish on the second playthrough they'd let you start with stuff you got from your first. that's just a pet peeve of mine though | ||

Not to mention that I didn't like the music of Crypt of the Necrodancer at all. I understand that a lot of you guys like it, but it didn't do it for me. Also I really liked FTL. Game was great. I should play it again this summer. | ||

It's fantastic AND the iPad port is great. | ||
