Anyone else pick this up? Desync, basically bulletstorm in neon 90s aesthetic.

I just got it on a whim, it's pretty cool so far, though it can be pretty vague in the upgrades/hub area. If anyone else got it and has some tips, it'd be appreciated.

How can this bundle be cheaper for me than buying Epistory alone? I only own Letter Quest from these.

Wow, made it to bumplimit. Congrats /indie/!

>>172338450
Seen it before, it looks cool, but also gives me devil's daggers vibe so I've added it to wishlist for now (which means I'll probably never play it)

>>172338938
Because it's on sale as a bundle.

That is where you are wrong.

They can't and won't spend 7 years on the expansion, but Styg seems to like taking things slow and safe. For a good while now they've been in a financial position where a less level-headed lead developer might've gone on a hiring binge to grow his team to try and push out new content fast. But as I said, they're taking growth slowly and steadily. They're financially set for a long time even if Underrail sales stopped altogether.

Or like the other anon already said, trust them on this one.

>Didn't get a chance to go through all the trivia questions so you'll find lots of weirdly-structured sentences there.
This sounds like a serious issue for such a text heavy game.

>>172341091

Eh, it's not so much that the questions are wrong or plain unreadable, you'll just be able to tell quite a few of the questions were written by a non-native English proficient person.

well i don't really know if I'd say I'm disappointed with gungeon, but it's certainly got issues.

the main one being that you're almost punished for using anything but infinite ammo stock on mooks since ammo is non-existant

even when I only use other weapons solely on bosses I ran out because drops are exceedingly rare and ammo drops are only a chance on that

there's also that almost every upgrade is locked in a chest, and again the drop system is pretty shit

>>172342130
For Ammo, you can massively up Ammo chances by gathering Curse (if the game gives it to you, Curse Pots are a blessing)
But yeah, the game has some serious problems relating to fun factor on most runs, which just feel like horrid drags.

>>172342130
There's some nuance to getting the pulls you want. Also ammo isn't as nonexistent as you think it is.

You're definitely gonna want to use your infinite ammo stock a lot, mainly in the first couple floors.

Game rewards you for playing well. The longer you go without getting hit, the more drops you'll see. Every time you clear a room there is a Room Clear Bonus chance, which can be a chest or any pickup (including ammo). This chance is raised by coolness. There is ALSO an Ammo Drop chance, raised by both your Curse and the percentage of ammo missing from all your finite guns. This means that ammo is, in fact, the only pickup you can actually roll TWO of on a room clear, and it also means that playing fast and loose with ammo will reward you more often than not. Empty guns you don't plan on using. Only save a few key guns full for bosses, otherwise freely use ammo on your other guns to increase the chance of finding ammo for the guns that do matter.

Don't pickup any keys on a floor until you've been to the shop to maximize possible key spawns. The shop will always have at least one key for you if you haven't picked up a key yet when you enter. Playing smart with keys will allow you to open most chests, most runs. Floor 1 you sometimes need to skip the chests so you can go to the Oubliette, but that's pretty much it. The two "main" chests per floor with their own rooms will always be a Gun and an Item respectively, use this knowledge to weigh your keys e.g. "I just got a passive from this red chest so I don't really care about cracking open that blue chest for a guaranteed gun."

Always search for secret rooms.

TL;DR if your runs are shit you're probably getting hit just as a manner of course. Try focusing on clearing multiple rooms or even entire floors without taking a single hit and see what falls into your lap.

It looks like party games mostly, except for maybe Helldivers

>>172343632
On the one hand I agree with you on it being a bit frustrating. I've definitely had those runs. On the other hand I consider passives unquestionably the most valuable category of items in the game, since they're the only ones that stack infinitely, have no opportunity cost, and apply at all times rather than when you have them "out" like guns or actives). They're massively game-changing and I'm always playing to maximize my chance of finding them. In light of all that, having actives mixed in with their pool is a somewhat understandable limiting factor.

While your post is very constructive, I can't help but read it and think it says:
>It's okay to have the most fun part of the game inhibited with garbage nobody wants
Given the option, I'd much rather have Actives and Guns mixed than Passives for the reason you just posted. A Guaranteed Passive from a Chest (if you win the coin flip figuring out which is which, since they're not labelled) is about a hundred times better than a guaranteed gun from a chest if you win said prior coin flip.

>>172344163
No, because then power spikes are too consistent, too frequent, and the game breaks too quickly and too easily. As fun as getting broken OP shit is, this game's primary focus is on the experience of getting more skilled, not on getting runs that trivialize the enemies. Passives are far too reliably strong to make so guaranteed instead of having to strive for them - I disagree with this sort of idea for the same reason I disagree with people who think you should automatically get an extra heart or damage boost for clearing each boss. It's not supposed to be a linear progression where you definitely get objectively stronger every single floor, but by the time you get to the end, you'll almost always have a broken run in some facet. There's more than enough passives to go around, even with the current setup.

Something o play while downloading the last episode.

>>172345885
God, I had one recent Forge run, the only thing I had going for me was Casey and like 3 passives, cause 0 key drops the whole way down.
The problem is that Casey is an absolutely abhorrent Bossing weapon (if you wanna do real damage, it's great for knocking back shots.)
So I'd wipe each room, be sad at no key drops, then fight the Boss with all my other guns.

It's like trying to play isaac without ever getting any upgrades and honestly I might stop playing it because of that. Isaac's item pool is bloated to shit but you'll usually at least get 1-2 semi decent things per floor.

The only two times over 8 hours I've had anything good was when I found a bee gun and then in another run when someone told me how to get junkan.

I'm not expecting to get Brimstone-level upgrades on the keep but I'd like /something/

Go back to >>>/a/

>>172348306
There's this hugely prevalent misconception that a controller is always better for a lot of games than KB+M. Particularly platformers and older more traditional type games.
There isn't a shred of truth in this.
The only instances in which a controller is better, is when you need analogue input, be it in a subtly angled direction (joystick direction that isn't cardinal/diagonal), or a subtly attenuated input strength (joystick distance from center that isn't zero or max).
If none of this matters, then a KB will always be better because of the input response time:
When changing direction to an opposing one on a controller joystick, the joystick has to travel the intervening distance, which causes both a time delay, and the chance that you'll end up slightly outside the direction you were aiming for.
With a keyboard, the input response is instant and boolean, directions and all. Much tighter control (even if some games take some getting used to).

DISCLAIMER: This isn't always noticeable, and playing with a controller has a really nice feel to it too. I love playing with a controller. (Please don't curse me)

However, in Rain World, the UP direction is really important for instance. You don't want to use a joystick (or actually even a d-pad) for that if you can avoid it.

Well to be fair, games like Risk of Rain are infinitely better with a controller.
Which has created a stigma of sorts about similar 2D games.

for all these reasons I am still right and your source here is potentially wrong (though I truly doubt he is). Even if not getting hit only helps you in the ways he listed, it still results in more drops. I'm still hugely skeptical on anything I can't reliably reproduce until I see hard data from the game files. All I know is not getting hit is the single most valuable thing you can do for your gameplay and regardless of the specifics you're gonna see a powerful return on any floor you clear without getting hit. It should be your top priority. Second priority is being able to perfect bosses with your starter pistol, especially on the first couple floors. You have to play consistently to become a boosted animal.

>>172357017
Getting hit by an enemy causes their Casing drop table to change. Nothing else. This is why Gun Nuts, those huge armored dudes on Floor 1-4 that swing a sword that fires a huge wave of projectiles at you, can still drop upwards of 7 Casings, but cannot drop a full 10, also having a chance of dropping 0 once you get hit.

I don't think it's hipster garbage, but it's nice to know not everyone thinks it's an incredible masterpiece.

>>172357696
I am but like come the fuck on dude, it's idiotic to think of anything in the game as NOT being drops. It's all RNG. It's all "what did the game roll in the collection of slots it has to roll for me." Like guess the fuck what, if my Mourning Star happens to show up in a shop instead of a chest it's still my Mourning Star and the Gungeon still dropped it for me, they just made me collect on it with my casing drops instead of my keys. You can't sit here and rationalize away the different very real ways the game has to throw shit at you. Part of being good at the game is being good at pulling the most from all your pools as a whole, not arbitrarily deciding "well I'm gonna get MY drops from this pool because that other pool seems inconvenient to play toward." It's all there and it's all at your disposal, so there's no reason to hold it against the Gungeon for throwing something good at you in a shop instead of a chest, when it DID in fact throw something good at you that you could have prepared to collect.

>>172357935
Thanks nerd, matches up with what I've seen. Is there a collection of documentation for this garbage or what because I certainly don't enjoy compiling my knowledge of in-depth mechanics off of hearsay

>>172360212

Not a one. I just know it from far too many hours of Gungeon and Gun Nuts being a prime tester for Brass.
>Their drop table naturally ranges from 5-10 Brass
>After getting hit, I've seen 0, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, but never 1 or 4, and they have a hard cap of 4 Brass drops of any kind, 8 total Brass being 3 Copper and 1 Silver

>>172360406
>hard cap of 4 Brass drops of any kind
this doesn't ring true to my ears. I'm pretty sure I'm not crazy(?) but 4 copper 1 silver is a frequent pull from perfected Gun Nuts for me.

In Battle Brothers, should I bother keeping around people with permanent injuries like Broken Elbow, or should I just fire them?

>>172360630
Huh. Maybe I need to pay more attention.

Something that is cool about Battle Bros is that sometimes there are non-hostile parties roaming the countryside. If you get into a battle, if these other parties are nearby, they will also show up in the battle.

In one scenario, I went to a tomb to fight some undead. There was a group of bandits nearby, so they got included in the battle too. I just fell back, let the bandits and skeletons fight each other, and mopped up whoever remained.

In another one, I got my caravan attacked by bandits while some peasants were nearby, so they helped fight too. They weren't particularly strong, but they helped soak up some hits, ensuring I came out of the battle (relatively) unscathed.

Dark Souls is the worst thing to happen to video games. Dew-drinking kiddies think that it's the quintessential example of a hard game, they think that it's "fair", and mostly egregiously they think it's fun. Video games are going extinct.

Thankfully, it turns out if you kill them quick enough, you can save you guy from getting digested.

I never got AB+ but even with all the horse shit it added I'd assume it's much better than Isaac just because by the time you get to depths you're almost guaranteed to have something that isn't completely garbage, and if for some reason you haven't it's an outlier instead of the norm.

Also the rng is fucking insane in this.

There's a 20% chance to get Junkan and I've gotten what must have been at least 20+ junk by now and haven't gotten him.

Meanwhile there's apparently a 2.25% chance of getting a mimic and I've gotten FOUR in the past hour

>>172379221
>20%
If you've unlocked him as an item, it drops to 5%.
Mimic spawn chance rises with Curse.

>>172378739
You'd be surprised at how often you get no damage ups by the time you get to the depths.
>Devil deals are a thing

>>172379761

There were dozens of editorials for Furi being too hard and it turned out to be just fine. They even put in an ez mode but the press were insulted by it and still trashed it.

That's the point of the 3rd act: things falling apart, time is running out and you about to inevitably face your fate. Just continue playing for the maximum experience. I'm pretty sure it has increased FuckU-rating for the every day activities too, 80% of the cops I lost happened there.

When it comes to difficulty, I don't think it's important if a game is hard or not, it comes down to if the game's challenge is engaging.
A podcast host I like did a long article on what makes Dark Souls "hard" difficulty effective and why Undertale's difficulty is trash

>>172385071
It's actually pretty difficult in its own way.
>>172387209
It's Antibirth's versions of Death and War. There's Pestilence, Famine, and Conquest floating about somewhere.

>>172387802

>>172387645
>Why wouldn't you pick up armor anyway?
To not beef it and lose it to some random enemy and try and use it for the boss to get the master round.

>>172387812

>>172389345

Taking ANY damage forfeits the Master Round.

Nope, I found that out the hard way.

>>172389561
Nope. This doesn't work like Isaac. You can test it with Marine v. the floor 1 boss if you don't believe me.

>>172389793
>>172389826
this game continue to surprise me at how bad it is

>>172385897
Why isnt it hard, because whenever you die you only lose 5-10 minutes of progress and souls you can easily farm 90% of the time?

I can see why people prefer that to wasting a full hour of your life like in Monster Hunter, or the complete decimation a realistic playthrough of Mount n Blade can give you. I'd pick those two over Souls anyday.

>>172389990
It's only bad if you're not good at it. ;^)

Also a lot of these reviewers keep screaming about deaths being unavoidable when there's several predators on screen. That's simply not true most of the time. There's usually an escape route or some form of cover, and even screens that look completely linear have at least one point where you can wedge a spear in to create an extra path.

>>172391680
Unless I misinterpreted the wiki, active items recharge based off of how much damage you deal to enemies, and the required amount of damage to recharge items increases every floor.

>>172391820
Uhhhh...yeah. Playing the game makes your cooldowns come back, and since enemy health scales, so does the damage requirement. Y'know, maintaining roughly the same ratio of enemies killed to cooldown regained. I'm sorry, I thought you might have a legitimate complaint. Are you just looking at numbers with no context and making autistic screeches?

>>172380268
Once he's unlocked he's a blue chest passive.

>>172392127
>Are you just looking at numbers with no context and making autistic screeches?
Except this has nothing to do with enemy health.

I'm not saying it should copy isaac's item model but to actually make items worse as the game goes on is pretty shitty.

>>172392372
you are pretty much saying that yes. "it isn't isaac's model and I don't understand it so this is the worst roguelite"

>this has nothing to do with enemy health
>actives are recharged by damage dealt
>more enemy health = more damage dealt per room
>more damage dealt per room = more frequent active item cooldowns

Your complaint here literally equates to "They counterbalanced so the game wouldn't automatically make things easier for me so it's terrible." Actives retain roughly the same cooldown feel throughout a run. Your power and the enemies' health scale and the increased damage required for the cooldown compensates for those.

>>172393095
>it isn't isaac's model and I don't understand it so this is the worst roguelite
I don't know if you haven't been reading my posts but I'm not particularly fond of isaac.

I understand it, I just think it's a bad system. Like a lot of bad systems in the game.

>>172393201
your lack of fondness for isaac certainly hasn't stopped you from bitching about every single thing that gungeon didn't cut and paste from it. Unless that wasn't you crying about actually having to perfect bosses?

>>172393354
No that was me as well, but that was less of a serious gripe and more of a "oh, that sucks i guess".

I remember there was a 2d platformer in development where you play as some kind of futuristic cat simillar to samurai pizza cat
but with modern graphycs. You shoot enemies while proceed to the next levels. Anyone knows what I am talking about?

It is actually kind of difficult. ..and importantly, it's difficulty often born from random placement of wildlife, and the AI's behaviour (which can seem random and arbitrary). This kind of difficulty pisses people off more because they feel it's not their "fault" that they're failing

>>172401931
And it's a mixture of their fault and not.

Yeah what this guy said mostly. Separate the art from the artist, so to speak. Like, despite what certain tirades happened, LISA doesn't have that kind of stuff in it and is still an amazing RPG despite whatever.

It's just when shit gets injected artificially into games that becomes bothersome, and that's more just because it's usually really clumsy and obnoxious about it, which is a shitty writer problem rather than whatever else.

Generally, I share >>172421651's opinion about the topic, but >>172422191's is a valid one too. Why? Because they don't separate business and everything else, which is just unprofessional.

Why do most of these new-wave devs feel they should air out their opinion on any given topic? Especially sensitive ones like politics or religion? Don't they feel the obvious risk in these moves?

Voting with your money is all about support. Not just products but people and tendencies too. If you bring other variables to this equation than your game you brought the shit on yourself.

>>172423756
These people do not see a split between public and private life. They don't suffer any punishment for their actions on social media so they don't know any better. When they post this shit on social media they get an immediate pat on the back from signalers liking and following them for it. And then you have people who say "who cares, just buy the games you want" who ignore the consequences of giving money to people like this.

It's a good example of putting your current enjoyment ahead of your future enjoyment. If the entire Indie scene is taken over by these people then they will start forcing out any one who doesn't make walking sims about mixed race Muslim transgender midgets. There goes your neat indie titles as the community will no longer be able to support people who aren't that way inclined.

It also allows you to give more money to good developers if you pass up on bad developers. That extra $5-10 can be a donation for a really cool dev who doesn't post shit all over Twitter. They start getting big, they get popular and then others copy them to start making the same kind of cash which then improves the community.

Informed customers make for better communities, as such it seems wise to ask for people who act in ways I like to build a community that I also like.

What is Snake Pass? Is it good?

>>172423756

>It's finished, but also has fucking nothing, no meaningful content
>Every update has just been backend shit
>Last steam update was months ago and was just bragging about how many awards they won

That's actually a pretty bid deal if it's really true, and really makes it into the game. Are there even any isometric RPGs with vehicles or mounts? Fallout 2 had the Highwayman, but that was not really ridable, only a really cool fast travel option.

How long ago do you think this community went to the dogs? The scientist's dead body as well as the woman's from the joy lab seems pretty "fresh." It also seems weird for people to be dressing up like scientists and other "normal" people while the rest of Olathe ran around looking all Mad Max. Did regular Olathians ever interact with this community of scientists? The only thing separating these guys from the rest of Olathe was a short walk though a cave.

Why is this "this providing a service has to match my beliefs" only apply to video games? Do you care if the guy who makes your pizza liked Trump or Hillary? The bus driver? The guy who made your shirt? The person who installs cable and internet?

It seems like this community endured for some time after the white flash, since the scientist mentions the "same sky."

The mention of plastic lends some credence to the theory that Olathe is actually isolated from the rest of the world somehow and is/was part of an experiment, since some scientists had the option to leave.

If the owner / CEO is the one who's pushing his agenda, it's an unfortunate situation as there's nothing they can do. In every other situation, he has at least one superior who should pay attention to the image of the company.

Hint: game developers (at least their leaders / PR and /or Community Managers) are public figures, even if in the limited sense of the word. All the other examples you brought up are not. As for the rest of your post, it builds on a false interpretation of what I (we) wrote.

His beliefs are exactly as relevant to his service as much as he brings to it. That's the point. Nobody gives a fuck about what you think about certain issues or who you believe in, but if you push it to other's face (either directly or indirectly related to your service) it'll have an effect.

And you'll have to deal with the consequences, even if it happens on a personal account. It's not a coincidence there's an entire industry built on handling public images, because it's directly linked to your business success. See also >>172424876 post for other arguments on the topic.

You know, I always thought this scene was kind of silly. On previous playthroughs, I would always go back and save, but this makes it so the rain disappears when you come back, so when I got to the dramatic scene with Buddy's basic, it looked like there was lightening happening in a clear sunny day.

I tried it without going back to save, and now it makes a little more sense as to why there is lightening. I still think the way the lightening clashes with the pixel art style of the rest of the game ruins the scene though. Would have been better if there was just a flash to simulate the lightening and then just the sound of thunder.

It feels silly to complain about a lack of indie 2D platformers, but I still agree with you. The genre is sort of dominated by metroidvania/roguelite/puzzle-platformers/walking simulators/Terraria clones right now so it feels like the old-school SMB style is neglected

For the TV you need to bring to the blacksmith, do you just need to never get hit for like 4 floors?

Isnt that the point of indie games. Maybe not over political ideology, but being independent gives you the freedom to lose money by alienating those who have a conflicting ideology on game design, fun, etc., and pander to those that think like you to best make a product you would like, instead of an inclusive commercial product.

Currently setting up my game for a long running game of Out Of The Park Baseball 2016.

This is a very fun game, it's less personal on a player to player management basis than a game like Football Manager but I think the actual management aspects of being a general manager are more fun. Drafting is also super fun. I'm playing in commissioner mode so I can alter stuff in the game and have complete control in tinkering the simulation.

We'll see if General Manager Wojak Feelsman can handle his first job as the general manager of the Cleveland Dirty Apes. His owner THE JEWS is a stingy owner that literally only cares about money. At least his expectations are low of Wojak, with the upcoming draft we'll see if he can pull a team together.

Yeah you literally just bring it to the blacksmith. You drop it anytime you dodge roll but can pick it back up anytime before leaving the room. "Using" the item will throw it, e.g. across pits. Not too hard, just need to remind yourself to keep picking it back up.

I did find my first black chest, and it had the vulcan cannon.

So far my favorite weapon is still the bee gun, though the moonscraper is decent because of the range.

I should have gotten the third master round too, but I was talking to a friend and wasn't paying 100% attention.

Mkay, decent. Not thinking you saw any chests past Gungeon Proper concerns me though. Are you not fully clearing every single floor? Every floor has two dedicated chest rooms guaranteed, one of which will contain a gun, the other of which will contain a passive or active item. If you haven't seen the entire floor you're on, it is almost never worth it to leave early just because you found the exit. The only floors with rooms worth skipping are 5 and 6. Are you checking for secret rooms?

>>172465764

>>172466393
>Not thinking you saw any chests past Gungeon Proper concerns me though. Are you not fully clearing every single floor?
I have garbage memory and was wrong. I had a green and a blue chest on 4, though from my skimming of the footage of 3 I didn't see any. I felt like I wasn't seeing any in game either but I'm assuming I did and just forgot.

I go through the whole floor yea, but I don't usually check for secret rooms since you can't even reveal them without using ammo.

i looked again and it was the black one and a green one

guess i just felt like I wasn't finding any for some reason

>>172338450
Played it a bit. Quite liked how it developed into giving me more options until I hit second boss. Then I was like - fuck it. Maybe if animations were better or just enemy melee attacks more obvious than this odd stutter.

I'll pick it up again if that stuff gets better. Otherwise it really puts an awful breaks on my enjoyment from the game.

>>172466556
>from my skimming of the footage of 3 I didn't see any
I mean...again, there are two chests guaranteed every single floor. They have their own dedicated rooms, one is a gun, one is a not-gun. If you didn't see any chests on Floor 3 it could only be from not clearing the full floor. If you just didn't remember seeing them cool, I just want to make sure you're playing your runs to their potential.

Ammo is copious enough to be worth using to check for secret rooms. Secret rooms will contain some of your biggest boons. Pick a shitty gun and drop 2 ammo per vacant wall in chest rooms, exit rooms, and dead end rooms every time. You won't miss the 2-8 ammo per room, promise. If you haven't found a secret room after checking all of those, go use a blank in the shop. This is the most basic way to start incorporating secret rooms into your runs. Start with it, and as you start seeing how often they help you you'll start searching more than just those rooms.

>>172466947

Life pro tip: be skeptical of any answer that equates to "No" with no further information. Generally speaking, people would rather assume they'd know if there was something than admit they don't know if there is.

The information we do have is a bit sketchy, so don't take anything here as gospel, but trends that have been noticed:
-mentally draw a box around the completed map and consider this the border. secret rooms will almost never spawn on or past the border, so look for empty spaces within the box.
-secret rooms seem to "prefer" generating further away from the Entrance. Don't use this as a reason to not check near the entrance, but you'll usually find it faster if you start from as far away as possible and work your way back.
-as mentioned, secret rooms love to spawn off of chest rooms, Exit rooms, dead end rooms, and shops.
-rooms have dedicated spots their doors can attach at. if you see a familiar room layout that doesn't have a door connected at a spot you're used to seeing one, get suspicious.
-this is the sketchiest premise I work off of, but secret rooms seem to prefer being either uncrowded or completely surrounded. For instance, you don't usually see them nestled up against two rooms with the other two sides open. Instead, the secret room will usually either be somewhere it can "stick out" with some room to breathe, or will be crammed somewhere in the middle of the map, surrounded on all sides.
-floors can have two secret rooms

They take multiple hibernations to respawn. That's really a cue to move to another shelter but in Outskirts there's not too many options. Ranks don't seem to change the world, but I recall in Outskirts there was an unusually short season when I got the rank to open the gate.

Okay, so imagine you are you.

You can climb stuff with enough effort, yes?
Now imagine you had the ability to store some items in your gullet without eating them and could wall jump.
That's the Slugcat MC of Rain world.

As for how it feels, you feel like an almost defenseless, albeit agile white snakecat thing that can throw stuff.
The game will repeatedly fuck you in the ass and swallow you whole. It has some interesting design quirks that I won't go into detail on, but know that this game is not for the faint of heart.

Is there any indication there'd be two or just random.

>>172473060
Totally random as far as I know, aside from floors with guaranteed secret rooms like Keep, Abbey, and Hell. I'm usually content finding just one and moving on, but will check any further "obvious" spots I can see.

BASELESS CONJECTURE AHEAD:
I feel like there is a system differentiating "secret" and "super secret" rooms, "super secret" ones being the ones that seem to defy convention by being either completely surrounded on all sides, or by being connected to less preferred rooms. When I've seen two secret rooms on a floor, one of them nearly always seems to be distinctly more "tucked away" than the other. This could, of course, simply be a consequence of having finite space within which to spawn secret rooms.
SERIOUSLY THOUGH I JUST PLAY THIS GAME A LOT AND MAKE SHIT UP DO NOT START TELLING YOUR FRIENDS THIS IS HOW THE GAME WORKS.

Yes. A prime example is the fact in Dark Souls 3, almost everyone at release ran around with 2-3 Summons 99% of the time.

No, not really. But it can be annoying losing a ton of map progress if you ventured out too far for too long.
>tedious
Yes. Food is variable, so you have to actually hunt, you can't just check the same spots over and over and you ideally wanna fill your bar, which is anywhere from 3 to 7 food so you have excess. And you gotta do a full hunting cycle just to progress one tier. Those fucking Golden Flowers are a godsend since they prevent one Karma drop.

This and Hollow Knight have utterly blown me away with how good they are.

It's a damn shame you've got that impression. I consider the vast majority of passives better than it, especially in the absence of synergies. The only thing that keeps me from considering the FMJ complete garbage is the fact that it will actually protect you in a couple of situations blanks normally couldn't. Otherwise it's just an item that, instead of benefiting you in any way, provides a crutch so you can ignore one of the essential skills required to be good. I'll take a flat damage boost over an auto-blank and hit Q my damn self any day of the week.

gross oversimplification.
FMJ is an item that literally removes the blanking mechanic from your hands. It doesn't give you more damage, it doesn't change your shots. It doesn't give you more health, an extra life, or an extra hand shooting for you. It doesn't give you more stats. What I'm saying is it does not affect the vertical power of your run, something most passives certainly do. Instead it takes a mechanic you control, and makes you not control it instead.
