Roguelikes are great and this genre will remain hard and turgid throughout the coming years Extraction shooters are played out and needlessly bogged down in obtuse and grindy mechanics but have a solid premise that usually slavic developers take in the most retarded directions imaginable. The first Western indie dev to make a Scifi version of one of these is going to make a killing, money will pour in if you add aliens and tiered ammunition types. Mark it 8 Battle Royale games take themselves too seriously and I have yet to find a single one that I enjoy MOBAs are okay for a quick game here and there but have hands down the worst sewerfilth shitcommunities imaginable, like hardcore FPS nerds but without the wit, humor, and relentless personal aggression that make multiplayer in those games so endearing |

Date: October 17th, 2025 5:38 PM Author: SneakersSO I haven’t even played a racing game since n64/gran turismo. I’ve tried some for a minute but the newer ones just seem so half-assed, the way that a COD campaign is half-assed. They’re easy games to make so I don’t really get it.

Date: October 17th, 2025 5:41 PM Author: Rape as a service private equity naglfar Gran Turismo Forza etc are huge business still but I never got the appeal. They have a wide variety of cars but frankly they all handle the same and really aren't kinetic enough to enjoy unless you're a turbosperg with the VR and IR wheel setup The last ones I enjoyed were probably Cruisin' USA or indie tributes to Outrun type games Now car games in general, stuff like Jalopy, the Long Drive, Trucking Sim 2kwhatever, Roblox "car with friends and guns" games, there's a few others. these are fertile soil and we'll probably see some good stuff come out of that basic idea |

Date: October 17th, 2025 5:47 PM Author: goy orbison Gran turismo was cool when you could buy your real IRL shitbox honda car in game and soup it up and race it but nowadays young gamers don't own cars or have jobs due to immigration and the cars cost real money to buy in game (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5787317&forum_id=2)#49356387) |

Date: October 17th, 2025 5:57 PM Author: Rape as a service private equity naglfar Top Gear ip shitbox racing with Takeshi's Quest type absurd sim elements (you can date a woman but randomly lose 40000 for unnamed expenses, there's an always accessible unbindable suicide button close to the acceleration key that you can and will hit by accidents during races, etc) would be a legit addition to the genre (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5787317&forum_id=2)#49356429) |

Date: October 17th, 2025 5:50 PM Author: goy orbison Warzone was good during covid but they made a good game by mistake. They quickly zogged it up with all kinds of retarded shit and hired indians to code the game and killed it completely (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5787317&forum_id=2)#49356397) |

Date: October 17th, 2025 5:43 PM Author: goy orbison Cr these are very bad, ghost of tsushima is pure shit
|
|
Date: October 17th, 2025 5:46 PM Author: Rape as a service private equity naglfar The original Tsushima was aesthetically solid and had some interesting ideas that filtered mostly into minor gameplay facets and the setting This new one I cba to even watch 5 minutes of gameplay. Should've been a one and done type deal |
|
Date: October 17th, 2025 5:43 PM Author: Rape as a service private equity naglfar Metroidvania games are 180 and about as tight and "crunchy" as you can get mechanics-wise and they will be around for as long as people are playing games. Have you tried Dead Cells? Hollow Knight? Pizza Tower? These games are all very engaging OW stuff has been beaten down into the ground by Ubislop and co and will probably take some time to recover. There's still new ground to break in the genre though |
|
Date: October 17th, 2025 5:45 PM Author: goy orbison None of the indie slop pixel art troon coded metroidvanias are as good as Super Metroid or Castlevania SOTN. Which came out during the Yugoslav Wars. they haven't moved the genre forward in any way, they are a poor pastiche |
|
Date: October 17th, 2025 5:46 PM Author: Rape as a service private equity naglfar (guy who's never played Dead Cells, Spelunky, or Blasphemous) Also SOTN isn't even the best Castlevania in its gen. Dawn of Sorrow is better |
|
Date: October 17th, 2025 5:48 PM Author: goy orbison I have spelunky for ps vita it is ok but its procedurally generated so whats the point? You can never truly beat it (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5787317&forum_id=2)#49356392) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2025 5:52 PM Author: Rape as a service private equity naglfar "Beating it" just means finishing a run, like Risk of Rain 1/2. Noita is troon coded but also fun and has echoes of those old pixel-element painting games you might've played on a Windows 2000 computer to pass the time in class Seriously though try Dead Cells complete ed, I gave that a rare 9/10 on my steam tweetblog |
|
Date: October 17th, 2025 5:56 PM Author: goy orbison I have dead cells castlevnia somewhere unopened, its in my backlog
I bought this cult of the lamb game recently & it was SHIT. Now I'm a roguelike hater, I don't understand the genre |
|
Date: October 17th, 2025 5:59 PM Author: Rape as a service private equity naglfar COTL has some excellent music (BIC stuff imo), an interesting setting, and good enemies but yeah it's missing a lot. Not enough weapon variety or something. The dodge is also kind of floaty and inconsistent Enter the Gungeon is a classic for top down roguelikes (S tier 10/10) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2025 5:50 PM Author: goy orbison I think Aria is the best one (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5787317&forum_id=2)#49356401) |
|
Date: October 17th, 2025 5:54 PM Author: Rape as a service private equity naglfar Aria had better bosses but Dawn had a better post-game and soul/ability selection imo (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5787317&forum_id=2)#49356416) |

|
Date: October 17th, 2025 5:44 PM Author: goy orbison Don't know what genre these are but Sony Games like Last of Us where you watch mostly cut scenes and push buttons sometimes and they somehow "remaster" every 2 years (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5787317&forum_id=2)#49356371) |

Date: October 17th, 2025 5:59 PM Author: ceo MOBAs are based on a Warcraft III custom map, Defense of the Ancients (DotA), that used to rule the WC3 online custom games scene. (I preferred Wintermaul Wars personally, and would have loved to see those games properly developed like League of Legends, but I digress) MOBAs are thus a mere subgenre of RTS, not a Genre as such |
|
Date: October 17th, 2025 6:01 PM Author: Rape as a service private equity naglfar Whatever made TFT DOTA so good is missing in both League and Dota2 and I am not sure what exactly that it is I used to play a fun Uther Party/Impossible Bosses type game on steam but idr the name |
|
Date: October 17th, 2025 6:05 PM Author: ceo I would guess SOVL is missing I got Legion TD 2 on steam cause i also loved Legion TD. they're keeping that up pretty well. Good example of a WC3 custom game made into a niche steam game The WC3 map editor was a beast. So many amazing game modes were created on that. I think now they make it so they own all the IP on the remastered map editors they released a few years ago so they don't miss a moneycow like DOTA |
|
Date: October 17th, 2025 6:10 PM Author: Rape as a service private equity naglfar Yeah I guess there's a lot of love and familiarity for sprites used in the campaign and that doesn't carry over in D2's nameless Blizzard warworld pastiche setting. Not quite the same when it's not the same Arthas you just saw behead his own father crushing some dumbfuck dwarf or ghoul down mid. No sovl in LoL Teemo mains asking "why isn't this Teemo" in heavily censored D2 chat The guy who remakes tft's Parasite 2 or Metastasis verbatim is getting 120 dollars for the collectors edition with nothing other than a lazy artbook and piratable OST of 8 mp3s from me. I play Amongus sometimes on my phone and I just think these kids have no idea what they missed out on with this |
