They were advertising it on the Paradox launcher for a while on Cities Skylines and it seemed like kind of a large risk for Paradox but I don’t exactly know why I felt that way.
It seemed like too much advertising for a turn-based tactics game or something. I like turn-based tactics games but it’s certainty a niche genre.
I opened it just to see some of the photos, and my browser crashed. The photos aren’t even good, don’t even open the link.
I don’t think I realized Kotaku had gotten this bad. Yikes!
I’m always curious about how hard it is to make insane nonsense that’s hard to disprove. Like, 100% randomization seems like it could be easier to detect vs. more believable things added by people.
So then you have to spend time making it believable…
Ooooh, I feel dumb that I didn’t pick up on this before.
I knew about movies (Top Gun and all) but not other things, for whatever reason.
I just want to say, I don’t think you’re the village idiot. The fediverse is honestly pretty confusing right now and I would have expected what you used to work too.
This list is so comprehensive, I’ve been looking at it for quite a while and found lots of communities I hadn’t seen before. Thanks for posting it!
You may like BroForce, a run-and-gun game where you unlock different characters as you go. I had a really good time with coop!
Yeah, I honestly had to Google it because it sounds like such pointless advice. In combat especially, how does “trusting the dice” help at all?
I think what they mean is “trust that the game will turn a lot of failing dice rolls into something interesting in a way a GM might.”
If someone is releasing, say, a western XCom clone and expecting Baldur’s Gate 3 level success, they might have another thing coming… Since it would have a niche audience.
Like, obviously I’m not talking about games like Baldur’s Gate 3 here, I assumed that was obvious from context but I may not know what Lamplighter’s League is like!
I was assuming it was more like Hard West, or Wargroove, the Fire Emblem series, Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy Tactics… there’s a difference between a specific genre and games that are turn-based and require strategy. Hopefully that makes sense.
Also half of the games you listed are pretty old (10+ years). Yeah, it’s a bit niche. But go off weirdo
There’s also the Mario + Rabbids series which is still pretty niche if you’re asking me.
