>It has pay DLCs of ANY type

>It's not finished but isn't free

Those are ALL any person with half a brain would find unacceptable, if any other tag/ characteristic/ mechanic/ genre/ whatever doesn't allow you to play nor enjoy a game, you just don't like to play games, but to shitpost over the internet about games.

Please stop posting and lurk until you develop a little of rationality, nu-/v/

This is really all that matters.

Procedurally Generated

Aka; we don't know how to design a fun map, so just wait until a good seed happens. If nothing good comes up it's not our fault; get good or get lucky ;)

>Newest game in a series

>>377307846
>It has pay DLCs of ANY type
>It has microtransactions

I think it depends on the DLC. Something like $5.99 for horse armor or $29 for 5 maps is totally unacceptable, but then looking at a game like New Vegas its paid DLCs are perfectly fine, because they add so much content.

Microtransactions also aren't a dealbreaker to me unless the game isn't free. I get it, freemium shit and devs need paychecks, but a full price AAA release should not have a fucking paystore ever under any circumstances.

What's wrong with persistent unlocks?
Should everything just be unlocked from the get go?
I haven't played one that didn't have them so I'm just curious as to what the alternative is.

Come on man, it's free money; no shit they'd do it

>>377309592
You start from scratch and you find shit through drops and exploration, sometimes seller purchases like every good and true roguelike.

>'Has all your favorite characters'
>Doesn't have the character you wanted in the game

>>377309592
>What's wrong with persistent unlocks?
Nothing. They're not what I play roguelikes for.

>>377309592
>Should everything just be unlocked from the get go?
Yes.

I play roguelikes to try and get through a hard game adjusting my strategy v what the game throws at me, gradually improving not because I have more stuff to fight the game with but because I as a player got better.

Roguelikes with persistent unlocks go directly against the entire reason I bother with the genre at all. Some people have started using 'roguelites' as a name for games that do this which I appreciate since it gives me some indication its not what I'm looking for.

When I play DCSS and die I don't get +this thing can drop in a run, +perma stats to my char or anything like that and the game is also not balanced around having to unlock the fun toys. I simply need to play the game and find them. Its fun.

The games with persistent unlocks also have the issue where the game feels very limited when you start out. I don't want to lose a bunch before the game becomes varied enough to be fun. I want to spawn in and immediately right off the bat have the ability to find and do and be screwed over by everything.
And when I die? I want to lose everything. Every run is seperate entirely. This to me is why its fun

>>377309873
Oh okay, thought you meant unlocks for potential items to find. I didn't realize you meant persistent unlocks for when you start a run; that's retarded and defeats the purpose.

>we wanted the game to look good so we locked it at 10FPS

I'd honestly prefer the game to run at 60FPS even if it's missing out on some shit like crappier shadows or whatever. To me, poor performance is the biggest immersion breaker.

>all threads about the game on /v/ are waifu threads

Also really shitty lol so wacky "humor"

>>377308487

I know the Western release of Trio of Towns is planned to get paid DLC which were free content updates in the JP version. But the reasoning is that the amount of work for XSEED to translate the DLC is basically the equivalent of an entire game so they have to charge for it or not bring it at all.

Which I think it's fair. They've thoroughly explained why and it's a pretty niche series in the West.


I don't outright have a issue with DLC, so long as it isn't full jew.

>Roguelike
99% of the time it has nothing to do with Rogue apart from procedural generation and permadeath, which is shit anyway because indie devs don't bother putting effort into making their generation good, and permadeath is usually circumvented by upgrade permanence (what a fucking meme)

It'd be like calling Skyrim a fucking "D&Dlike"
