I would unironically enjoy reading a list of Tuxedo Catfish's top 10 video games with a short (or not) description of what makes it good.

Fewer roguelikes on this list than you might think. The most common factor is action games where the developers really understand movement mechanics -- where everything cancels fluidly into everything else, where momentum is used sparingly and the player has ways to both create and instantly negate it, where precision is both possible and rewarded. Dark Souls 3 -- very unique and rewarding PvP, surprisingly good movement-feel for a console game. DoomRL -- some days of the week this might be ToME or Caves of Qud instead, but DoomRL is peak elegant RL design Factorio -- like a survival game, except it respects your time; automation replaces plate-spinning. sadly, it's almost unique as such. Hollow Knight -- amazing movement, 10x bigger than it has any business being, great boss fights Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun -- just really good stealth and strategy gameplay. complex without being overwhelming. Skullgirls -- amazing movement, best online play of any modern fighting game Subnautica -- one of the few video games i've ever played that was actually emotionally overwhelming, in a good way. beautiful and terrifying. Unreal Tournament 2004 -- peak multiplayer FPS design, and also (not coincidentally) has one of the best options/setting screens in the medium The Void -- the sexiest game about starvation, gardening, patriarchy, and the inner life of the soul ever made Warframe -- amazing movement, shockingly good narrative for a F2P looter-shooter Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 04:01 on Aug 22, 2019 |

Very surprising list, was expecting more roguelikes. The only one I haven't heard of is the void, looks interesting but not sure if it's my thing. Shadow Tactics does look really good now that you mention it, not sure why I've previously passed it over, wishlisting that one for later. It's actually 66% off on steam right now but already got a bunch of games on the go so will have to wait.

Do not try to play Warframe solo, though. Having other people around to give you advice and explain things and such helps al ot, the game is pretty bad about explaining how it works. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3585612 Head over to the warframe thread for more info.

I don’t have time to read through 800+ pages of thread for an answer, so here’s my question: What’s the general consensus on Streets of Rogue? Bonus points if you know how well it runs on Switch.

So is there any modern (preferably roguelike) take on the Sega Genesis classic Gain Ground?

Cardiovorax posted:I've got no consensus for you, but I've played it and find it fairly interesting. It's structurally very much a roguelike, but the actual gameplay feels weirdly like a top-down sprite version of Deus Ex: lots of places to go and sneak into and many many ways to get into them. It's not quite Party Hard in terms of interactivity, but it's definitely not just another twin stick shooter roguelite.

Streets of Rogue is a great 20-minute per run chaos simulator. It's got a ton of character classes, item, and perk variety that make each character feel fairly different from each other and scrambling to try to survive when things go wrong is good fun. But I'm gonna beg to differ on the comparison to Deus Ex, that is so misleading it's almost malicious.

FWIW, it really is nothing like Deus Ex in terms of actual game mechanics or how you play it, I just felt it had a lot of that sense of being dumped in a little part of a city and being "ok, here is lots of poo poo to break into, here are your tools for loving with people, go nuts" to it. Don't expect it to actually play like Deus Ex.

I'd suggest watching that rather than playing it, even if you're not normally into LPs. yeah, i wouldn't necessarily call it 'lovely' to play myself but it's very stressful in ways and it's the sort of thing that can turn someone off easily. the lp is definitely a great way to experience the game, as the lper has a relaxing voice and shows off the game well. https://lparchive.org/The-Void/ the video links on that page are dead, though, but at the top is a red bar that links to the internet archive which has the videos there to view https://archive.org/details/LP_The_Void

The Void is a super intense game but I started enjoying it much more once I installed a mod that let you grow Color on a tree more than once. I know it goes against the themes of the game, but it just makes it so much less stressful to play.

As a counter, you can definitely play solo and be just fine, just ignore that feeling that you have no idea how anything works and focus on enjoying the things that make sense. The other stuff will make sense eventually. However the game has the most painless multi possible and it’s extremely low commitment. Whether you play in the least optimal way possible or with total perfect knowledge of every system, you’re performing the same missions, executing the same maneuvers, slaughtering the same number of dudes, just with different fireworks. It’s more fun if you just pick an arbitrary goal of some kind than pursue a guided grind.

I know it goes against the themes of the game, but it just makes it so much less stressful to play. I feel like a major theme of the game is the hopelessness of achieving a goal that is undeniably possible, but yeah, I think that makes it a better art piece and a worse game.

You can find all kinds of weird little tricks to get stuff done in streets. For example, the doctor class has an insanely powerful ability to silently choke out a target from behind, but you can't get it to work if they are standing with their back to a wall. What you can do, though, is distract them with noise - even just punching the wall next to them and then running through them, or getting someone to answer a knock on their front door and grabbing them when they get bored.

Playing as the cop is great fun because you can find clever ways to get people to commit crimes in front of you and then arrest them for career progression, just like in real life.

Something i've found now that i've exhausted the base game opportunities is to enable what i'm calling "Resident Evil mode" via mutators. Using the line of sight mutator that disables seeing around corners without peeking and enabling a zombie apocalypse to be on every level along side making ammo more plentiful turns it into a nerve wracking zombie apocalypse roguelike where you learn to sneak in the middle of the streets, learn to curb stomp the infestation early on, or get chased by like 30 enemies wanting to eat your face. The fact that I can actually do this via mutators is kind of amazing, really. Usually they're lovely minor modifications when games add them in.

Haven't played it yet, but reading about Streets of Rogue reminds me a bit of Survival Crisis Z, a weird, obsolete (?) game that was at least a little bit ahead of its time as an open-city zombie shooter roguelike with that good old low-res creepy computer affect.
