@Riverlution so 1 good note, if its a proper moba there wont be any power levels by paying money.
There might be unlockable equipment but power levels dont work well in mobas, or at least tend not to make more than a small difference, a day 1 player can beat a day 300 player.
@PBandSmelly Yeah this is just dumb. Like SURE copyright doesnt really cover blocky graphics (this is all seriously above board in terms of legality) but COME ON.
@HappyMaskedGuy Id have to agree that a large portion of roguelikes make it hard to tell a story.
I would say a few of them manage it by have built in lore drips (which wont always hit as hard) in certain progression sections.
However I will suggest you try Hades, it's a game that "fixes" many of the problems with roguelikes, it tells a story that makes sense with the mechanics and hits home.
For the rest i would say many roguelikes are forgettable.
@surferboy64 Im with you there, im gonna wait for a 30 or 50% sale, even though i KNOW this game is right up my alley it's saldy only digital so that money is gone once i spend it
Sakurai didnt have a choice but the moment ive been dreading is finally here. I really find it rough that of all the games they couldnt of added a full inclusion of him
The fact that this took up so much room during a direct for so little, im only mildly less upset by this than I am by the Bakugan game hogging up the final slot
@Retro_Player_77 We all know the PSP 5 g is going to be a laughable flop.
Those who buy it will no doubt love it and it will probably be a good product. But they will need to make something pretty special to break back into the handheld market.
Then again I could be wrong, but i dont forsee it making a dent.
Well i have some good news, but it's not much help.
USB dance pads do work with the switch, so Cadence of Hyrule and Crypt of the Necrodancer and other grid based games could be played and give you a workout with a dance mat

Re: Get Ready To Unpack Again, As Moving Out Gets A Free "Moving In" Update
We've played through part of the main game and made the mistake of turning on some of the accessiblity features.
They are great for those who need them but the lack of difficulty made the game boring very fast, so we eneded up restarting with the enforced limits.
Amazing game, doesnt quite reach the levels of Overcooked but a fine new entry into the co-op chaos arena

Re: Super Mario 3D World Trailer Shows Off Two Minutes Of Bowser's Fury Gameplay
@BAN Really? Like the desert world is HUGE, at most it might only be 1.5 times the size.
We havent seen it yet so maybe youre right!

Re: Random: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Box Art Receives A Very Welcome Tweak
@presenttense
1. how soon do you want to play it (super soon = physical because the resale is high. Later = digital, especially if youll replay it over the years)
Re: Bowser's Fury Details Revealed: "Free-Roam" Gameplay, amiibo Unlocks, Co-Op And More Explained
To be fair this game isnt for the 5m people who bought it, its for the other 70m switch users who never got to play
Re: Super Mario 3D World Trailer Shows Off Two Minutes Of Bowser's Fury Gameplay
@Garo Unfortunately that wont be the case, it's too small of a level to sell sperately (think 1 world in mario oddysey, maybe a bit smaller)
However, i will say they might release a game in that style later on, since this seems to be a 1 player add on to a 4 player game, who knows!
Re: Fortnite Creator Epic Games Is Turning A Dying Shopping Mall Into Its New HQ
@Zeldawakening Imagine them turning 100k square feet of it into a live game area or theme escape rooms?

Re: Smash-Like Brawler Indie Pogo Is Coming To Switch With All DLC Included
@JimmySpades sounds like thats more about the devs than their game, which ive never understood.
If the game is fun I play it, if the company has issues I buy secondhand.

Re: Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart Of The Forest Brings The Tabletop RPG To Switch

Re: Introducing Genki: ShadowCast, The "Simplest Way" To Connect Your Switch To A Laptop
@TheAwesomeBowser Litterally no chance for this to brick the system, it's an HDMI connector for god's sake.
You folks are paranoid and dont know how to research.

Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase To Air Tomorrow, 15th December
@GrailUK Bayonetta 3 would not be an indie really, they would probably have that in a main direct.

Re: Re-Release Of N64 Classic Glover Appears To Be Taking Shape, Kickstarter Teased
@NotoriousWhiz Penny Racers was such a solid title, it would do well if it werent for the high saturation of racers.
Bomberman 64's battle and explore system really should be used again, it added a lot of options to the grib based bomber that we havent seen since.
