TOOT BOOT posted:It's kinda weird how little community there is for roguelikes considering how many people play them. There's here and Bay12 and that's about it for finding other people who play. r/roguelikes is a pretty popular subreddit as far as they go.

CountingWizard posted:Be careful with Darkest Dungeon, there is no way of telling if it will be good or just a completely mindless unengaging Roguelike like so many of the crap titles on Steam. The flash-like nature of the game engine makes me leery. I have the same problem, I want to start a new game with all these posts but it looks like it will be so good

One thing I'll note is that even though Crawl's policy of "no needed spoilers to win" is correct, the actual implementation of "yeah you should memorize what's in certain vaults or you're just gonna die" means you definitely need some.

Slime posted:My point is, why bother with that? If the game is balanced around you being able to rest without penalty why not just fully heal you after combat automatically? I haven't played zirconmusic's game yet, it looks neat, but a problem like in, say, dungeon crawl is what defines after combat? Is it when you defeat an enemy? What if there's multiple? Is it when you don't see any enemies? What if you ducked around a corner from one? It's actually a difficult problem.

Toalpaz posted:is having meta run unlockables good design or an attempt to stretch out content. Really makes you think. This is a false equivalence, not a matter of the first or second. You can have meta run unlockables as part of a good design, and introduce it to stretch out content. Or one of the both. Or neither.

Johnny Joestar posted:the new system with books/spells in crawl actually is better, though. when you find a book it just adds the spells to a library you can learn from in a tab instead of having to gently caress with carrying books around or stashing them or whatever. yeah this is the Good kind of streamlining

Ciaphas posted:tbh when getting through a couple nethack wins a decade ago, i found being required to read extensive guides to be really shite by the end. Still pretty much feel that way\ Yeah.

SKULL.GIF posted:Which vaults need spoilers to clear? It's not really about clearing them, it's about assessing their danger vs. other vaults. This is actually something I think ToME does well. Vaults are typically not more dangerous than other areas, unless the game prompts you with a "This is SUPER dangerous, you should probably not do this", in which case it warns you pretty well.
