Func_Msgboard: Other PC Games Thread.

Posted by - on 2004/09/27 08:12:48

So with the film and music threads still going and being discussed... why don't we get some discussion going on something on topic to the board? What other games are you playing now?

Procedurally generated content is the biggest snake oil bullshit the games industry has ever seen.

There's a time and a place for it of course (minecraft uses it well) but 99% of the time, it just leads to crap.

Agreed. I wish this fad would die.

Good Games Based On Proc Gen

1. Isaac
2. Spelunky
3. ???

Rogue Legacy

I found that to be a charming game and I think that follows the formula.

The trick is to search your soul and ask yourself whether those games are good because of proc gen or good in spite of proc gen.

Ziggurat is fps tho. Also Gillard looks promising

Enter The Gungeon

#9405 posted by ijed on 2016/08/15 17:51:12

Is Procedural and an excellent game as well.

It's like Isaac but not bloated and broken.

In Any Case

#9406 posted by ijed on 2016/08/15 18:22:32

This discussion boils down to the question:

"Do you like roguelikes?" Yes/No

Eldritch

#9407 posted by mjb on 2016/08/15 18:27:32

Comes to mind as well!

Fifth

#9408 posted by oh, that person on 2016/08/15 20:18:09

You need Isaac in your life.

One of Total Biscuit's more annoying videos.

Enter the Gungeon, I have this. It's ok. The starting guns are lame.

It's all well and good having a game with a billion guns but when you start with a pea shooter every time it gets boring as hell.

I have never really fancied playing Isaac. I probably have it on my steam pile of shame too.

#9412 posted by quakis on 2016/08/16 03:18:12

+ Dwarf Fortress

Otherwise I'm also interested in the way Ultima Ratio Regum is approaching procedural generation. Still waiting for its v0.8 release before trying it.

#9413 posted by anonymous user on 2016/08/16 13:40:44

Don't forget RimWorld, really good DF-lite with actually usable and nice UI.

Dead By Daylight

#9415 posted by PuLSaR on 2016/08/20 14:44:20

Played it yesterday with friends. It's a really cool game. Dark and creepy, the sound and the atmosphere are very well done. It's most interesting when you are playing with 3 friends with skype or TS, though it's really hard to survive with a team of low level survivors. Playing as killer is fun too, but it looses all its creepy charm then.

This Seems Like A Pleasant Game

AGONY

Game??

#9417 posted by Shambler on 2016/08/21 10:30:13

I didn't see much game there. Dark micro-levels drenched in gore, a few things wandering past, and not much else....

Cooh DX4ing.

...looks gorgeous. And scary. That monster at 4'20" seems straight out of a Clive Barker movie.
