I haven’t read the article, probably won’t, doesn’t really interest me. But I thought the title pretty clearly implies you don’t play as the shooter. I’m surprised others didn’t interpret the same way.

My bet, A youtuber discovered the game and made videos that did reasonably well in the indie audience, then other youtubers picked up and it snowballed some. I’ve been seeing more coverage of the game on youtube for a couple of years now.

That game’s closer to 20+ years old. It’s been a very long time since I’ve played it. It was way back when gaming on Linux was mostly limited to games that had a native Linux release.

I quite enjoyed the dungeon keeper games back in the day

Wrath of the Righteous*

Unfortunately, there isn’t a spoiler format that works for all cases. There’s not much you can do. It was just a warning since you were obviously trying to mark spoilers I thought I’d let tou know they just don’t work.

Recent news that they would be releasing games that would have previously been exclusive to X-Box on other platforms such as Playstation has led to many a rumour that MS may be planning to stop developing the console at all.

Those style of spoilers are not supported on Lemmy except in the Sync app. For literally everyone using the web, or accessing the content through the fediverse from other federated services, those are just plain text visible for everyone to see.

Yeah, I definitely died a few times when I first started playing the game on release. And then tons of times after that too because the game is very unforgiving at the start (But gets better as you improve your skills).

Just an FYI though, those types of spoilers don’t work on Lemmy clients other than Sync. So your spoiler is just visible to anyone that is not using Sync. Sadly, Lemmy’s spoiler format isn’t supported by sync, so you’re screwed either way.

Yeah, at the beginning of the game you’re complete ass at swordplay. You get better as you improve your skills and learn how to parry, but those are gated behind experience and training in the game.

I suspect you may have been running the wrong way. It’s an easy mistake to make. But that entire sequence can be challenging even after you get on a horse.

There kinda is a movie with a premise similar to that. Violent Night

If everyone treated it like you do, this wouldn’t be an issue at all. But these days everything with permadeath gets the roguelike label and that makes it hard to find the traditional roguelikes if you don’t already know about them.

Sure, that’s fine if people were actually specifying any sort of modifier. But calling everything a roguelike makes it hard to find the traditional roguelikes for those that like them. I’d be ok if the terms were standardized with modifiers like “Traditional Roguelike”, etc, but they aren’t. Everything with permadeath gets the label roguelike these days.

You know it can straddle two genres right? I don’t disagree that it also had metroidvania elements.

While I generally agree with what you’re saying. Jedi Fallen Order has several hallmarks of the soulslike genre. Meditation resets enemies. You collect “souls” under a different name. The difficulty isn’t really up to scratch for a soulslike, mind you, but IMO it definitely falls into that genre.

If the internet has taught me anything, it’s that every fandom has it’s insanely toxic element. Especially every game fandom.

I can’t speak for the parent, but I don’t remember ever getting past Nova Prospekt. Not because I didn’t want to, it’s just that every time I’ve started playing I get distracted right around that part. But I have a serious problem of not being able to finish games, I get distracted by other games far too easily.

I wish there were more pedantic people regarding the difference. The more it gets diluted the harder it becomes to find the proper roguelikes.

Someone, somewhere thought it looked cool and marketing people have been copying it ever since to make their site “pop”.

I can see why you might think that, but that’s not how it works. All of the text is downloaded up front, but is hidden initially. It is made to appear as you scroll, but it does not get the text via additional web requests. If you view the page source, or inspect element you can see it all there.

Nothing except that it’s an example of them being a patient gamer.

I’m pretty sure they meant day 1 on x-box. X-Box players get to play the polished version of the game from the moment they get it. They get the version that already has all of those patches on day one.

I’m not sure the game is popular enough to get quite the modding support of the community like previous Bethesda games.

Looks promising, but if it’s going to have any hope of unseating The Sims, it’s going to need strong modding support.

That person seemed to really be struggling with the controls. Either that or it’s their first time ever playing a video game.

Well… not that shocked.

Games bought via Steam are covered under Steam’s TOS as far as I know.

Didn’t Ubisoft make a statement afterwards that they would not be deleting accounts that have game purchases?

The title is a bit click-baity. Even the article acknowledges that Ubisoft has stated they won’t be deleting accounts that have purchased games. That’s no excuse not to take precautions, of course, but it feels a bit like fearmongering, and the world has far too much of that these days.
