What’s worse is that it seems like Evil Empire is going to get cut off of the revenue from Dead Cells because Motion Twins owns the IP. EE has been working on the game since after the first DLC expansion (1.5 or 6 I can’t remember), and the majority of the content and expansions are done by them at this point, not Motion Twin.
I am interested to see what Evil Empire has in store, as they announced they are working with two long dormant IP, and they did just work with Konami on the Castlevania expansion of Dead Cells…
You ask an excellent question, one that I feel you already know the answer to. From my understanding, the term is unfortunately broadly overused for any procedurally generated game, to the point where the original meaning has been lost to time.
Man I wish we had better terminology for this type of game. Roguelike and roguelite give the same energy as “Doom-clone” for every fps in the 90s. Later we called them FPS games. That genre has since been refined into tactical shooters, arcade shooters, milsim, etc. Meanwhile, we’re still stuck calling all games that have randomized runs “rogue-likes”. Being pedantic about the definition doesn’t make this situation better.
How and why do they even access Steam? The Internet and Computers aren‘t „traditional ways“ of communicating and video games are not „traditional ways“ of entertainment. Do they reject modern medicine too for being „non-traditional“? Seriously out of all the anti progress bullshit, this is the dumbest aspect.
Good. I mean, who does this? You’re selling flight tickets before the plane is even built. At least wait until the game is released to gage if players even want a DLC.
Even still, you’ve shown your hand. Now players think that you were sectioning off development of certain aspects of a game to then later sell off for extra cash instead of focusing on releasing a fully built game. Terrible mistake.
There all places. The problem is where to find adult games that are not pornographic, or morbid, but targeted to adults? Like games where the story conveys depression/suicide/death/griefing, or other difficult topics?
You might enjoy Martha is Dead game on Steam. That is my personally favourite game, which really stirred emotions. My wife tried to play it and got physically sick. Check it out.
It’s a bummer. Eve is special but CCP hasn’t seem intent on running a healthy game in over 10 years at least. I’m not sure if it was PA or their choice to launch a Vr game I always wanted to try that. And I do think they should pursue the mixed game approach. Playing Dust back in the day with friends and piloting a destroyer to do orbital bombardments was something special.
I digress I hope Eve and CCP are ok in the long run.
I quit long before that. I don’t even remember what my last straw was. I still follow the news occasionally and now that it’s free to play I log in like once a year just to look.
I dont blame you for that being the change that made you win EvE, I also think fondly of that era, but also recognize that MMO players in 2025 would have hated the old game. The timegating of skills made it so characters had value, now they dont, people do and the shifting dynamics in 0.0 have come to reflect that (See the N+1 problem and the attempts to claw back an out of control ISK faucets).
I do think the game is in a healthier place, but thats only been over the last year or so.
It also somewhat helped curb alts. You couldn’t just have an alt that did a thing in day.
But the isk and resource faucets were a problem from day one. It’s a resource hoarding game and it became too safe.
That era to me was also filled with clever scams and IMO as CCP made it safer for people it took a lot of magic out of the game. You used to have to be smart and attentive to play. Now it throws warnings at you for all sorts of things. Or got rid of some very fun mechanics (like pos bowling and lofty wars)
I also used to love spending 2m to war dec a corp. I would have dozens of wars going. And it wasn’t like small corps. It was fun to war dec all the big alliances at once with your little 5 man corp.
I need a search option for “most obscure controller support” so I can speedrun them with my Dark Souls certified Keytar and 7 piece drum set
But really searching by, and adding more accessibility to games is good, more accessibility is never bad. Glad we’re not listening to capital G Gaaaamers who think adding things to make games easier somehow detracts from their ability to perform (admittedly very cool) frame-perfect dodges or somehow means their practiced twitch perfect shot in CS2 is somehow meaningless because more people can…checks notes play the game
