It is a true roguelike, not a roguelite or game with only faux-permadeath or procedural levels. It is one of pinnacles of the genre, so in any discussion about the best roguelikes, CoQ will be mentioned.
At the time, everyone was despising this controller, calling it bad. In Soulcalibur II reviews some say that the game was awful to control.
I never had those problems and liked since the beginning, but it is very weird how the online discourse is far from reality. Just like the Pokémon cycle.
Still waiting for Brilliant Diamond e Shining Pearl though. The Lake Trio music is so good (too bad that we do not have it complete in Legends Arceus).

Re: Anniversary: Paper Mario First Unfolded On N64 25 Years Ago
I remember reading SuperGamePower (a local gaming magazine) saying that the game was childish and would be difficult to find success.
(I miss those times though, haha).

Re: Fifteen Years In The Making, Caves Of Qud Is Finally Coming To Nintendo Switch Later This Year
@Rainz Did you read the game description or are you judging it just by the graphics?
Re: Fifteen Years In The Making, Caves Of Qud Is Finally Coming To Nintendo Switch Later This Year
Oh, a real roguelike and a famous one. I did not expect this.
I will buy this on day 0!!!
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Indie World Showcase Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?
The last ones were weak and with last week awful Direct, for the first time, I will not bother with a Nintendo presentation.
Re: Review: Dear Me, I Was... (Switch 2) - A Bold, Heartfelt, Wordless Visual Novel
A less than one hour "game". This is just a short film, I will pass.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Partner Direct Predictions - What Do You Expect To See?
It is time to Genshin Impact and other waifu games.
And since we are already seated, port the Wii U version of Kerbal Space Program to Switch 2.

Re: More Switch Games Reportedly Receive Switch 2 Compatibility Fixes
I was playing Luminous Ocean without problems.
Re: Random: We're Big Fans Of This Switch 2 Summer Gaming Solution
Too bad that some of us are in the middle of the winter. It is extremely cold right now here, haha.
Re: Miyamoto Views Games As 'Products', Not 'Works Of Art', Says Ex-Nintendo Dev
@GEKGanon I do not know about usofan culture, but this seems like a handicraft piece.
Perhaps I am lost in translation, since I can not find the equivalent in usofan english for the word that I am thinking.
Re: Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack Announced For Switch 2 And Switch
I already have the 3. Please, put more bikinis in the bikini DLC.
Also I want different feet model for all of the girls.
Re: Anniversary: 10 Years After His Passing, Satoru Iwata's Thoughts Are More Relevant Than Ever
Legend. Never forgotten.
Re: Miyamoto Views Games As 'Products', Not 'Works Of Art', Says Ex-Nintendo Dev
@GEKGanon For me, games are virtual toys. And I do not consider toys as art.
Re: Nintendo Will Discontinue Switch Game Vouchers Entirely In 2026
Furukawa showing his Accountant background. Sigh.
Re: Random: Yes, Pope Leo Really Did Sign A Popplio Pokémon Card
Pokémon Serious Business
Re: Miyamoto Views Games As 'Products', Not 'Works Of Art', Says Ex-Nintendo Dev
Games are not art.
Never were.
And never will be.
Facts!
Re: Of Course Mario Kart World Is Being Review Bombed
To be fair, the GP online sucks.
Bring back classic GP, Nintendo.
Re: Review: Nintendo Switch Online GameCube Controller - The Return Of The King
I will never understand.
At the time, everyone was despising this controller, calling it bad. In Soulcalibur II reviews some say that the game was awful to control.

Re: Best Rune Factory Games Of All Time
@tanaka2687
Totally. It is just absurd to rank any game in "best of" lists with less than one year.
Re: Review: Date Everything! (Switch) - Stellar Final Fantasy & Persona Voice Cast Deliver A Bonkers But Buggy Sim
Well, there is not voice acting in my language, so...
Re: Switch 2 Owners Might Want To Check Out This Handy Update For Vampire Survivors
RogueLITE, not roguelike.
Re: Random: Ouch! Switch 2 Owners Are Feeling The Pinch With The New Joy-Con
Do not google "Leonam Dreamcast". You have been warned.
Re: Forget The PS4, Koei Tecmo Reckons Switch 2 Is Closer To Xbox Series S
See Atlus? It is not that hard.
Re: PSA: Got A Switch 2 Pro Controller? This Little Capture Trick Is A Game-Changer
Too bad that I can not find any around here.
Can not wait to use the capture button, a lot, since I just bought Atelier Yumia bikini DLC.
Re: The Switch 2 Fixes Its Predecessor's "Worst Performing" Game
Can not wait mine to arrive tomorrow to see if Atelier Ryza 3 and Atelier Yuma get shorter loading times.

And because of that that I am against these silly thing system wide.
Re: Random: Switch 2 Owners Are Already Stripping Down Joy-Con To Check The Stick Tech
Instead of getting drift with 3 months, now we will get with 6 months. :/
Re: Site News: We've Got A Switch 2
Only friday for me.
Re: Early Impressions Of Pokémon Scarlet And Violet On Switch 2 Are Very Positive
Nice. They are the best pokémon games ever. The only thing not so good are the "real time" raids.
Re: A Video Showing The Switch 2's Boot Screens Has Been Shared Online
Cool, the Switch 2 can be turned on!!!11111
Re: Yooka-Laylee Dev Playtonic Is The Latest Studio Hit By Layoffs
It sucks, but that is business.
Most people who complain are the ones buying these games dirty cheap in sales (and never playing), so they are all part of the problem.
Re: Opinion: Upgraded For Switch 2, ARMS Deserves A Second Shot At Greatness
@chardir
This needs to be highlighted more. For me, this was the jump in moment. The game controls very very well with standard controls.
Re: Opinion: Upgraded For Switch 2, ARMS Deserves A Second Shot At Greatness
The thing is, you do not need to play with motion controls.
After I read an AmA with a tournament winner, he said that he only uses the traditional controls.
So I donwloaded the demo back then and played in portable mode. Since then, I fell in love and have more hours in ARMS than in Smash.
Bringa back the crash parties!!
Re: Review: Labyrinth Of The Demon King (Switch) - FromSoft & Horror Vibes Straight Out Of '97
I really like dungeon crawlers but have no idea for what "soulslike" is supposed to mean.
Re: Review: SoulCalibur II (GameCube) - One Of The Best Fighters Ever, Playable Oh-So-Soon On Switch 2
Theo irony of this game is that Link was an awful addition to the roster. At least, he is way better than Heihachi.
Re: Shenmue III On Switch 2? Publisher's Latest Tease Suggests It Might Be Happening
@Zufolobelisk I did not like I and II, and III did not set the world on fire either, so...
Re: Shenmue III On Switch 2? Publisher's Latest Tease Suggests It Might Be Happening
No, thanks.
I want only good games on Switch 2.
Re: Nintendo Music Adds More Than 100 Pokémon Songs In The Latest Update
Still waiting for Brilliant Diamond e Shining Pearl though. The Lake Trio music is so good (too bad that we do not have it complete in Legends Arceus).
Re: Yes, Nightdive Is Aware Its Games Would Be "Great" With Switch 2 Mouse Support
I do not think that the "mouse" support is better than gyro aiming for shooters though.
Re: Monster Hunter And Resident Evil Help Capcom Achieve A Record-Breaking Year
Gyakuten Saiban sold more than Onimusha.
Interesting. Where is the 7th game, Capcom?!
Re: Yep, Tony Hawk Fancies An 'Underground' Remaster Too
No, thanks.
All these skate games are just like the others.
Make a new one instead.
Re: Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games - Every First-Party Title To Pass One Million Sales
@yoshi420 Nintendo itself said that Pokémon is first party and that MarioRabbids was licensed.
Nintendo. Said. That. Pokémon. Is. First. Party.
The end. Thanks for attention.
Re: Paul Rudd Returns In An Awesome SNES-Style Switch 2 Commercial
Who?
It seems that this is focused in USofA.
Re: Pokémon GO Doubling Amount Of Daily Remote Raids Has Nothing To Do With New Owners
Suuuuuure.
Also, we do not need Mr. Steranka on the helm. All of the last awful choices were made by him.
Re: Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games - Every First-Party Title To Pass One Million Sales
@yoshi420 Nintendo said that Pokémon is.
Who knows more? NCL or yoshi420?
Re: Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games - Every First-Party Title To Pass One Million Sales

Is Nintendo wrong and you right?
Re: Mario Kart World "Paid DLC" Would Be A Big No-No, According To Ex-Nintendo Duo
@Obi-WonTheHighGround Alison is too busy being an extra in Investigation Discovery series.
I would love to see her again, though.
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
Terrible.
Lacked new games.
Too expensive.
Boring new IPs (a paid tech demo to know the console, really???).
Well, day 1 anyway, since I am a hardcore NIntendo player and only play Nintendo consoles.
