Nincompoop

@Jawessome Don't worry, no one listens to me LOL.

You should ask NL, they were the one who said Diablo is 'the real deal'.

@roadrunner343 I already mentioned: Dead Cells, it's rogue-like done right. That game doesn't use rogue-like design to prolong the gameplay or make it challenging... it was conceived as part of the game mechanic. In Dead Cells, dying and reborn is a cycle of life: it's a spiral that slowly leads upwards. It's the same as RPG grinding where eventually your experience point will make you powerful enough to push through.
(All rogue like = procedural generating)

@Tibob It's the content. Hollow Knight with the huge amount of content would be crazy as a Rogue-like, no one will ever finished that game. For content-lite game like Dead Cells it made sense, it's like the movie Groundhog Day where you repeat the same day over and over but every time you will learn something that can be applied to the next cycle.

If ITB has more content the dev would've avoided the rogue-like approach. They 'cheated' with procedural generation to create random levels rather than manually designed ones...then again, with a 8x8 board there's won't be much difference. Or maybe they chose a simple 8x8 board to make the procedural generated levels easier to work with?

@Jawessome Why eat snacks when the dinner is coming? It will ruined your appetite. Why waste money on this inferior game when you know the 'real deal' is coming?

@Pod In Civilisation you died after like 100 hrs of gameplay, this game only takes minutes for that to happen.

Just like chess, this is a short game... that is the reason many devs chose the rogue-like design, to prolong the gameplay by making people try over again from the beginning. It's annoying when you made a mistake and has to begin from scratch rather than restart from that level. Procedural generation helps to keep it fresh every time you restart but it's also time wasting.

A good game spoiled by rogue-like design.

Unlike Fire Emblem or Advance War, this is true modern chess game with a 8x8 board.

So Planet Alpha has quietly launched? It wasn't included in Nintendo's recent showcase or promoted anywhere... this game must be bad, looks pretty on the outside, ugly on the inside.

Spiderman is launching later this week on PS4, on Switch we get Spider Solitaire. When the console is not powerful enough, a card version will suffice.

(This card game looks good btw.)

@Jawessome You have to ask NL why they didn't called this a Diablo-wannabe?

Japan likes Google and Apple more than Nintendo. Patriotism is fading in Nippon, the land of mobile phone gamers.

Just like Titan Quest, this game is a poor man's Diablo. Don't be fooled by the score, you will be disappointed.

It's delayed until 2019.

This looks like a fun game.

@bitleman You should support North Korea, they will sink Japan eventually.

@bitleman Did you failed your English comprehension test? I said Nintendo gamers not Nintendo as a company, I am talking about people like you who will come to Nintendo's defence just like Apple fans.

The final end game boss is a Catholic priest with his altar boys.

@gortsi Same with you, another one who bites the bait so willingly for Nintendo.

@SethNintendo Merry Xmas already? I am just having fun with you, relax. There's more to life than games you know? I like to troll here because Nintendo gamers are like Apple users, very serious about their brand and therefore fun to play with. LOL.

@gortsi LOL so you only just realised how dumb you looked when you said Sony is offering download for PC? I have been trolling you the whole time for you to make a fool of yourself.

@gortsi LOL How's the PC going to run PS4 games? You think Sony is going to make an emulator for PC?

@gortsi LOL The article said it's a rumour, it's written 3 months ago.

"If Sony does intend to release this feature in September, it’s a bit odd that the announcement missed their E3 showcase."

And it never mentioned PC once. You're a nutcase.

Edit: Sony could do this, but the download is only for PS4. The reason they would attempt this is because of Nintendo paid online: which could be expanded to subscription based model like Spotify or Netflix. Miyamoto spoken about this recently (on purpose).

@gortsi Really? LOL where?

@gortsi That is cloud streaming moron, you won't get the same quality.

@SethNintendo You said PC has the best graphics and gameplay is better than graphics. So if you don't care about graphics then why buy a PC?

@SethNintendo You are off topic, what I said was a response to:

"SIE will play to its strengths by providing games of various genres, including realistic, high-definition games."

No one is talking about playing Civilisation on PC. PS4 clearly has realistic looking graphic when compared to Switch. Look at Detroit, not even PC games have characters that look as good.

@SethNintendo With a PC you won't be able to play The Last of Us, Spiderman, God of War, Detroit, Horizon Zero Dawn, Dreams, Death Stranding, etc. You don't need the fastest hardware to brute force realism. Sony owns movie and music studios, they can pull talents to make realistic looking narrative games.

@SethNintendo Wannabe PC is that box with a X. They even share the same games.

"SIE will play to its strengths by providing games of various genres, including realistic, high-definition games."

Sony is very clear about that: unlike Nintendo their strength is realistic HD games.

Mario Rabbids and Octopath Travellers are original games developed for Switch that's why they sold so well.

@Skalgrim Yeah?

@Quarth I know, I wasted hours commenting on a dozen websites each day about games. These days I preferred watching people play on Youtube, it's cheaper and required no effort.

@jobvd I don't have time to play video games, I am only here to comment.

I want to use Kirby or Yoshi Amiibo for Diablo. Can you imagine having these Nintendo characters inside the game?

No More Heroes, Has Been Heroes, Not a Hero, Next Up Hero, etc these games on Switch sounds so similar and generic.

This game looks like the poor man's Death Stranding.

Why is this 8-bit game so big? It's 1.6 gb, why?

Ever since Superbrother : Sword & Sworcery EP on iOS in 2011 countless games copied their art style, including this one.

Sites hosted in Russia, China and South America are immune to Nintendo.

This looks like a poor man's Civilisation.

Wasn't Cardboard-Origami™ copyrighted to Nintendo?

@Heavyarms55 2GB is already very small, you can't even buy a 2GB USB stick/memory card anymore.

Nintendo never though that Indie games will ever be put on carts when they made the console. Now they encouraged all the best indie games be released on cart to fill in 3rd parties absence.

All these indie games released on Cart are a waste. The minimum cart size for Switch is 2GB, most of the indie game only used a couple hundred mb of space.

Why didn't they bundled a few of these digital games on one cart?

Complaining about Nintendo seems to work: it gets this article published and you guys talking about it... free publicity.

I thought it's similar to Dungeon Keeper where you play the bad guy... but no you can only be the good guy, so disappointed.

It's a free game, what did you expect? If you pay for some costume then maybe the performance will improve.

Why are females in fighting games all so busty? In the real world, enlarged mammaries can be a hindrance when fighting. Did you know that the Amazonian woman cut off their right breast so they can shoot arrows properly?

@Cosats A lot of indie games look original and interesting, but I only play them once or twice and get bored of it. The old saying 'You get what you paid for' is true, with lower budget there's only so much they can do.

Never thought I'll say this: I am starting to get bored of all these indie games. So many of them, they are even released as cartridge to fill in the 3rd party's absence.

@Donutman Hollow Knight has a lot more content than Dead Cells but it's not as fun or addictive.

To me Dead Cells feels like Diablo 3: a 2D Diablo, even the music sounds the same. In a way it's better than Diablo: you will die. That's the difference, you are practically invincible in Diablo but in Dead Cells you will die again and again. So at least there's a challenge and not just going on an ego rampage like Diablo.

Meh. At least now you don't need to rewind or forward the VHS.
