I like BoI.

It's pretty fun. Rebirth is going to play a whole lot better and have more shit, but it's going to seriously lose some of it's charm.

The pixel art is growing on me mostly because it's clearly getting more polished with each update he post, but I'd still prefer clean good sprites to fake retro stuff or going back to the lazy flash shit like some crazies want.

The big problem is the HUGE downgrade in the music. It's boring as shit.

I guess we should call all FPSes Wolfensteinlike, all RPGs D&Dlike, all JRPGs Final Fantasylike and all RTS Command and Conquerlike.

Because you know, it doesn't matter if they resemble the original game or the ones that popularized the genre at all to be called an "[X]like" according to you.

>>256714324
there was a gathering of faggots to try to solidify the definition of roguelike. it's a word people take way too seriously and probably will forever. it's the reason rogue-lite is even a term. might as well say roguelike-like just to be super redundant

>>256714513

FPSes have guns or combat at all, if they have any kind of maps or if they have 3D or 2D sprites they are "in some aspects" like Wolfenstein.

So all FPS are Wolfensteinlike according to you.

I'm just using your own argument against you. This is what you have been saying about Roguelikes. If it doesn't apply to all genres then it doesn't apply to Roguelike.

>>256714990

As long as they're "first person shooters", they are.

As long as a game is "like Rogue", it's a roguelike.

Binding of Isaac is a roguelike, since it actually counts as one by the definition in that website. It's only missing two elements, and one of them is based on hardware limitations.

I'm sorry, but you've already lost.

There, I said it.

I wonder why people like calling games like BoI and such roguelikes. They're not really all that close in gameplay asides from the inability to save at any time and randomly generated levels. Why not call them dungeon crawlers? I like BoI and all, but I think comparing it to Rogue and friends is a bit out of the question.

It's no wonder people get annoyed

>High value factors
>Random environment generation
>Permadeath
BoI has it
>Turn-based
BoI isn't turn based. There are no turns only cooldowns.
>Grid-based
There is no grid, you can freely move between each space and your character can take up less than an entire tile.
>Non-modal
BoI has this
>Complexity
BoI has no complexity as there is only one option to anything (shoot it until it dies).
>Resource management
BoI has no real resource management outside of bombs and keys. There are no healing potions you can keep around. Etc. This element is not in BoI.
>Hack'n'slash
>Exploration and discovery
BoI has this

So that's already 4 of the VERY IMPORTANT factors that BoI doesn't have.

>>256716069

Yes you have: It isn't like Rogue. So its not a Roguelike.

"Roguelite" would probably be alright if it didn't degenerate into thread shitting in every forum ever, since the games are inevitably less like Rogue and more like 100 other games for every example of "roguelites".

What is the solution to enemies in roguelikes besides killing them until they die? Running away is also an option in BoI, just use bombs.
You can also use items, tarot cards, pills, etc. etc.

There are other attack types besides tears, and tears themselves have many variations.

And bosses are not anti-roguelike according to the roguelike definition.

>>256717759

Since when have actual roguelikes been about choices? I've played DCSS, and last I checked you can't talk a boss or enemy out of fighting you, nor can you reason with an enemy to make them see the error of their ways and leave you alone.

"Killing until they die" is pretty standard across the board with a few genre exceptions.

>>256715791
>Yes, just like most roguelikes are strategy games. And?
They are dungeon crawlers. You havent played a single one, have you? Plus the berlin interpretation is bullshit. I have no idea why either side brings it up.

Looks pretentious and hipster as fuck, and for some reason I always associate it with Phil Fish.

>>256709978
I didn't like it. There are a lot of flaws and a lot of luck involved in a successful playthrough, a lot of which is unable to be controlled by the player. But I'm just not into games like that.

That's debatable.

One big point is that you control more than one dude.

That makes it closer to X-COM than Rogue.

>>256718097
>They are dungeon crawlers.
If Zelda 1 is a dungeon crawler, then BoI is one too.
If there's no official interpretation, then I can use the term whatever way I want, so arguments are pointless. I was challenging that faggot, not the definition itself.

>>256718110
There's a character in the game that wears a fez called Judas, because Phil Fish betrayed the developer at a games convention by voting his own game and voting against BoI's dev's

they are mortal enemies

Other than "transform", you can more or less do all those in BoI with the right tools. Place a bomb near a door and you can slip right past enemies without killing them, certain active items can make enemies not attack you as well as some passives, and plenty of enemies will run into traps if you guide them.

Jesus christ this is so fucking simple

Roguelike is a genre consisting of games that were based on rogue

Are you not sure if it's a roguelike? Ask yourself, does it play like rogue?

Rogue is a pretty specific fucking thing, so it should be easy. If it does, it is. If it's a 2d retro platformer that shares some mechanics with rogue (permadeath, randomly generated levels), then it's not. It just shares some mechanics. It's not even the same fucking genre.

>>256718595
>make them run into traps?
There are several trap items and you can place bombs on top of that

> sneak around them
there are items that make enemies run away from you, ignore you, protect you from them, and you can use bombs to escape the room

Skatole makes fly enemies become allies

>Transform them
This isn't in, but some enemies transform under determinate circumstances

Basically you know nothing about BoI and that's why you don't know it's a roguelike. Bravo.

its a roguelike-like

because its like a roguelike.

>>256720316
>Remove a game element that Rogue doesn't have and this 'roguelike' loses its entire point!
wow gee whiz isn't that odd

>>256720268
Anon, let me explain this to you.

You pick up items constantly. They go to your inventory. Some of them are passive so they remain in your inventory permanently. Some can be used and spent freely, like pills, keys, bombs,etc.

What else do you think an inventory is for?

>>256720548
Rogue doesn't have challenging combat?

>>256720574
Go learn what an inventory is.

Or at least get your bait to make sense.

>>256720574
equipped items =/= inventory

fucking moron

>In many games a player is only allowed to carry a set number of items, this means that a player must prioritize certain items over others in order to manage the amount of space available.

One slot for pills, 99 slots for bombs, 99 slots for keys.

Not all inventories are like the ones in your RPG, anon. I'm sorry you're too new to games to realize it.

Yeah without Danny is not the same. The new music is not on the same level, it's halo 4 all over.

You still haven't explained why it isn't an inventory, just yelled bait to cover your ass because you never actually played BoI.

Are roguelike fans the most autistic fanbase in existence? It seems like every time there is a thread about a game that borrows some ideas and gameplay mechanics from Rogue. The fags come into these threads like locusts and complain in every other post about how this game isn't a roguelike.

Ok but just one more.

>>256721063
I wonder why Ed didn't contract Danny for the music again.

>>256721452
Please explain I'm not even baiting, the fact that it's extremely limited doesn't make it less of an inventory

>>256721383
Yes.

I was never into roguelikes, but when I played Rogue it felt like Mystery Dungeon, but a little more aged and significatnly harder.

>>256720171
It's a Zelda-like.
It's 90% like Zelda (10% loss because Zelda has everything in BoI but also adds more).

It's a Doom-like.
It's 80% like Doom because you shoot projectiles at enemies while navigating through the environment, you can pick up new weapons, you use keys to open new doors, and you fight the demons. It might not be a FPS, but its still a shooter so it's basically a FPS-like. There's no difference.

It's not a Rogue-like.
It's less than 20% like Rogue because it has no character creation, no skill lists, no spells, no leveling up, no planning, no analyzing situations to succeed, no turns, no dungeon crawling, no [the entire list of pages from the wiki], and very simply looks absolutely nothing like Rogue.

BoI is officially a Zeldoomia game.

dungeons of dredmor confirmed for not roguelike

>>256721590
an inventory is a place where items of different types are stored and retrieved from. see: re4, zelda, fucking runescape

contrast things like wallets, bomb bags, etc, which are used to hold a single type of item

>>256724348
Except "different types" is bullshit.

Thought I'd found a Binding of Isaac thread, but turns out it's just a bunch of autistic nerds arguing about what's a roguelike and what's not a roguelike. You people are fucking losers. I always thought people on /v/ were joking when saying shit like "normalfags" and acting like neckbeards. I feel sorry for you guys.

>>256724653
Good, fuck off

>>256724653
I pretended to give a shit in order to make autists bump the thread, but nobody talked about BoI in the end ;_;

>>256724643
the new item in rebirth that allows you to hold two cards/pills fits the most basic of definitions for an inventory, at the least

>>256725492
BoI: Rebirth confirmed for roguelike.

it looks reasonably similar

Stop being mad that its not a roguelike and that it's a zeldoomia.

Language evolves.

Calling it a roguelike is just as bad as describing the game by saying its as hard as Dark Souls.

>>256726198
Anon, you're so mad you went full retard, fuck trying talking with you.

>>256726198
it's just a fucking name that's been used to describe the scene and the people developing said games, fucking hell

rage of isac, i find the game hard.

>>256726432
yeah that's what happens when you can't win an argument

I'll be over here playing my zelda clone and you can play your dark souls prepare to isaac edition

>i died once so its like dark souls
- you

>>256727085
generic butthurt reply that gives you attention

If we took all the people who get autistic over the term roguelike and put them in death camps, the world would be an objectively better place.

guys in this game you shoot things it is obviously a shooter
