I've seen threads about this game and it made me curious enough to look up a review. Found this instead. https://youtu.be/_Buwei6ZWqU [Open]
Is this video accurate? If so, why is this game so popular?
>>388919512
Well first of all that is from last year and the game has updated a lot since then.
Second of all, no, it's not accurate. The game is in actuality a mitigation game. If you play it as a regular turn based RPG that is hard, you will lose characters and resources. If you play it with all the worst case scenarios in mind, you won't lose a single character even if you are extremely unlucky. RNG can only attack you if you haven't planned for it.
Darkest Dungeon is ultimately not hard, people make runs on the highest difficulty without using torches and without losing characters. It is ultimately tedious. Very tedious. You have to micromanage everything and keep your priorities straight to maximize your success and minimize the time required to get there. Sometimes you have to be willing to retreat, even at a loss, if only to cycle something to give yourself a better shot. Or to feed some characters to the meat grinder to benefit your others with extra money, trinkets, party members, or just some extra weeks of time units to spend on something else. Although you can't sacrifice too many of your little lambs on the hardest settings since it fails your run if you lose too many, which is ultimately just another way to increase the tedium because you can no longer sacrifice sub-optimal characters on resource runs.

He is absolutely right the game is horribly unbalanced and unfair but many people still find it fun
It is one of those addicting games that make you mad and you still can't drop it
The worst is when fanboys defend it to death if you try to criticize it"git gud"
>>388919512
The game is pretty fun for the first few hours, but gets terribly repetitive and grindy later.

It brought back life to the MMORPG genre. Fantastic patch. I pity the bitter nostalgiafags who are too stuck up to even try it
FOR THE HORDE!!!!

The 2 heroes I play (Arms, MM) are unplayable without a specific """legendary""". Can I target these now? CBA to grind casino for months just to have my spec playable

I'm working towards making a sort of "download and play" thing for /v/ and HL1. In the link below I've enclosed an already zipped up HL1 installation. All ready to go. If one or two of you could download it, and connect to my server, this can become a regular thing and I can simply drop this link whenever to make a server. In the future, I hope to co-opt mods into this like Syndicate Black Ops, Wizard Wars, a whole plethora of dead HL1 multipalyer mods. But only if this works of course.

connect 47.147.90.105
NOTE: If you have Steam HL1 installed but still want to try, I recommend uninstalling it first. Prior testing with a friend found that they interfere with each other's registry keys, preventing the Steam version from authenticating properly. However this was quickly remedied by uninstalling and reinstalling Half-Life 1 and then restarting Steam.
>>388918449
Awaiting.
>>388918449
Bump
>>388918449
why don't you just get a sven co-op server? The game is free and standalone. Plus, how much of a poorfag do you have to be to not own Half life in one form or another, steam has dedicated server support, so i really see no reason for this.
cute

Since this game is getting popularity in the west, does anyone think Nintendo would be willing to give out some DLCs to expand on the story?
Hope so
I want more classes and the ability to use my damn party members.
Game gets stale after a while.
So I tried emulating Miitopia with Citra and every character is auto-named to Citra for some reason. Is there a work-around for this?
I got the snes mini pic related. Gonna pick it up very soon. Should I resell it for double price or keep it? Is it worth it?
If you're gonna scalp it, scalp it now.
I feel bad for the fags who think they're gonna hold it for 20 years, because you'll be seeing them at the Salvation Army by then
>Spending money on a terrible clone when you could have bought an actual SNES + Games you wanted for the same price.
Literal.
Fucking.
Morons.
>>388433492
By that same reasoning, you could pirate every SNES game in existence for absolute free.
August is saved thanks to pic and Sonic Mania
>>388432391
>No co-op
Decent chunk of the characters already in WO3U
What appeal does this have again?

This game is begging for a Black Friday discount, just to move units.

Yeah its the bomb.
>>388917935
>Some PCs
They're right, it's more powerful than the average Windows 95 era PC.
>>388917935
More powerful as in generates more heat?
>"While we know Chucklefish is working on a new game they’re likening to Advance Wars mashed up with Fire Emblem (which can sound redundant to some), they also have another game in development up their sleeves."
>"The second game, shown above, is what they’re positioning as something like “an RPG/Sim set in a magic school, something like Stardew Valley meets Harry Potter,” news confirmed by Chucklefish Games CEO Finn “Tiyuri” Brice to PCGamer. Brice posted the above video with the message “Personally, I’m spellbound.”"
Looks like Little Witch Academia meets Harry Potter. What do you think, bros?
