GuessWhat Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Made this topic so there is a place to discuss DSP's playthrough of Returnal. I think it's gonna be hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kill-chan Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Phil is ranting , AGAIN, about the game being a Rogue-like, AGAIN, as I'm writing this. now please allow me to debunk his poins real quick: - you can't save your progress: WRONG. The map retains all the information and you do keep some unlockables - every time you die you restart from completely from scratch WRONG. all the previous knowledge of the game is intact, in your head. The game is balanced in a way that that's enough to be good at it. that's the entire point of playing a rogue-like. Restarting THIS game from scratch is different that restarting COD Yolo Mode or The Last Of Us from scratch - I've played rogue-likes before! NO. Transistor and Bastion aren't roguelikes. - It's procedurely generated! No handcrafted level! Poor level design ahead! Right, but also WRONG. The general map stays the same forever. what changes is the order of the areas. And yes there is some degree of human-made crafting to the levels. If no one told you it's procedural, you would have never noticed. With that said, he's about to go on pre-stream break. Lemme grap some popcorns... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuessWhat Posted April 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 In addition, to what you said it seems like some people have no idea what a roguelite is and are only buying it because PS5 new exclusive. Then being like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuessWhat Posted April 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 49 minutes ago, KGhaleon said: You pretty much just contradicted yourself. Most rogue lite games have permanent upgrades that you keep so you're always slowly progressing and becoming stronger. Doesn't change the fact that you can't save your progress. You start anew each run unless you leave the game in sleep mode. Dude only streams for 3-4 hours, meaning if he doesn't beat a level in time he'll have to start all over from the beginning next stream. The bosses alone will take numerous attempts. What was he wrong about exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kill-chan Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 For some reason Phil believe that this each biome takes 3 hours to beat. That's obviously not true. He's afraid of dying cause he believes that'd result in a wasted of time... but then he does everything reeeeally sloooow . @PhiIif you're reading this, this isn't a Ghouls And Ghosts. It's ok to die, and you're not supposed to go inspect everything. The map will take note of thing for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuessWhat Posted May 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 LOL. DSP doesn't like that a rogueLite has rogueLite mechanics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VertigoTeaparty Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 I was kinda interested in Returnal until I heard "rogue-lite." Hate the genre. Best one I played was Hades and even that one I dumped once I got to level 4 as it felt really half-assed to me and re-doing the earlier levels yet again was But yeah, rogue-like or even rogue-lite seems a very anti-DSP genre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kill-chan Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) Ok, so... crazy idea Considering that Divinity streams are low and Returnal is just a lame roguelike... how about Phil drops both playthroughs and explores, with those who made the Divinity playthrough possible , the possibility of switching to HADES?

BITWAVEGUY Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 playthrough is DOA i guess now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitrocrash Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 To be honest ... he hated it ... and he said he would stop playing it if he didn't make some progress .. and then he made some progress and played it to the end. I am satisifed. He played Returnal enough. He played more then I would endure. F that game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
