Enter the gungeon is my favorite top down rogue like, though it's hard as hell

Yeah, I figured I'd check their twitter and they hadn't even tweeted that video and it just says "coming soon" in the twitter description, but I'll accept "2017" as a pretty good answer. Got this Mario incoming, and all :shobon:

Awesome. Heard great things about this game. How’s it compare to Binding of Isaac?

It's more about skill and knowing boss fights and less about getting a few items that break the game.

I could understand why someone would like one over the other. Personally I don't like BoI at all, but I've got 100+ hours out of Gungeon.

I like Isaac but I think that it's incredibly poorly designed and the devs have no idea what they're doing at all.

How does Enter the Gungeon work without a mouse? Does the right stick directly aim the character, or is there an on screen cursor? Because the former seems like it'd be hard to use for long range weapons and the latter would be super slow and clunky.

To the 8bitdo question: we have the arcade stick. Like someone else said syncing can be really touchy for 20 minutes then it magically works fine after that. GF loves it since she grew up on arcade sticks, for the price it works well. Might replace the joystick sometime, they are listed as being compatible with fancier sticks and buttons.

Speaking as someone who bought two and upgraded the joysticks/buttons, I hope you have a soldering iron for the joystick. The ribbon cable that Sanwa sticks usually use isn't compatible with the connectors in the stick, so you have to desolder the old connectors off the old stick and reuse them on the new one.

Don't forget the ease of corruption in bureaucracy and the heartlessness inherent to government systems.

Papers Please is a pretty cheery game.

What's your source on this? It definitely did not happen to me. 4.0 has been a-okay for me. Only problem I've had was because the recent windows update hosed elgato's drivers and I had to roll back, update elgato, and re-update windows.

Do you use hdmi -> hdmi? Might not be affected, it's been hit or miss for people even with hdmi -> dvi based on monitor/capture device (probably based on the interface timings). This reddit comment tree has some more examples. Did some more digging on one of the threads, and apparently they are 'aware' of the issue but have no timeframe for a fix. Not surprising, as it's a very limited issue affecting few customers.

It's definitely a scheme to make people use the tabletop mode, for sure. :v:

Right stick aims the character. I believe there's a reticule as well, set at a fixed radius from the character, but I haven't played it in a while, so I can't remember.

Balancing and general game feel were really wonky and changed every patch in early access so wildly differing opinions may also be based on that

I cant get the enthusiasm up for these well worn indie genres anymore. Theres a new crop of nearly identical darlings out each year in the twin stick shooter market and im trying to just let only the most remarkable ones into my life.



Nex machina is that most remarkable game of 2017 btw.

For real, it cracks me up because you see it and you're like, is that really a Dredd knockoff? So you open it and one of the first things you see is ”JYDGE FOR YOURSELF"

As you lie on the floor, clutching your freed coin and bleeding out from the piece of plastic that slashed the artery in your left wrist during your hamfisted attempt to open the packaging, you can't help but ponder "Maybe I should've gone alone; it was dangerous to take this".
