I was thinking red rising, but that sounds similar. Hadn’t heard about this, gotta watch this, thanks :D

I usually skip the 2nd and the 3rd steps. But yeah, they don’t usually last enough to go bad.

Margherita and Margarita are my fav. Both delicious.

Just another uninformed idiot that thinks kids are getting bottom surgery.

Oh, that makes me wanna play it even more. Every single time I play a big RPG like witcher, cyberpunk, Baldur’s Gate, kingdom come, etc. I enjoy the first half and then I just speedrun the rest to finish the story. There’s nothing wrong with a 10-30hour game, honestly. Hell, a short hike is like 1-3 hours and I don’t feel bad at all for buying it.

They’re alright. Leadalica are better, tho. “Two” is a masterpiece.

Okay, good, that wasn’t just me. Had to read it 3 times… anyway, bring it! Loved postal 2, stupid as it may be.

We used to have 1-2 “wow killers” every year. The last one that tried was new world in 2021, afaik. So I’m pretty sure they were referring to MMORPGs, not MMOs in general. Altho even those are fewer nowadays than before, I feel.

Hell yeah! Played those games so much. I remember even duelling online with a classmate. Was great

Omg, they’re onto something. Will you reply no matter what people type?

Nah, that wouldn’t be enough to differentiate PoE to hzd, imo. It’s like comparing Max Payne to CSGO. Or I dunno… rocket league to Football manager… or Mario party to street figther… trying to cover as many bases here to cover the games that you might be more familiar with. xD. Point is, in both games you get a character which you level up and customize by doing quests and killing mobs, but that’s pretty much where the similarities end, as far as the gameplay, mechanics and goals of fans go.

And for the record, despite this also being called an arpg, it’ll be very different from both PoE and hzd. ARPG seems to be as vague as “driving game” or “shooter”.

Survivorslike is just one option, auto shooter is the same thing and doesn’t use vampire survivors’ name.

And well, in this case, I just saw op say that this game was gonna be an arpg and because I play a lot of PoE, last epoch, etc. I was expecting something in that vein. Then I open the link and I see 2 seconds of something that looks more like hades or god of war and I was disappointed. So if me wishing we had better terms for various genres makes me a prescriptivist, I guess I am one, in this case.

Also tdggrpg is too complicated of a subgenre name, I feel xD

We need more subgenres! What do you call breath of the wild or the spiderman games in that case?

Imo god of war/ horizon are aptly named because they’re action focused RPGs.

We need new, better name for the “diablo-like” games, however. I feel like those are different enough that there’s not enough “rpg” left in them beyond the character building elements. Survivorslike aren’t RPGs despite them having character leveling and stuff so why should diablo 4 /Poe be called rpgs?

We’ve only seen 2 seconds of gameplay, how can you be sure it’s not a rogue like or something? Did I miss it being stated somewhere or you’re just guessing?

Also, this comment reminded me how ridiculous I find it that we have genres such as “metroidvania” and “souls like”, “auto shooter” , “survivors like” and etc. Yet we can’t come up with subgenre names other than arpg which can describe everything from Bastion, to Horizon Zero down, to path of exile. What’s up with that?

It’s a form of protest. And like with all protests, some are right, some are wrong. It’s not always bad actors.

My claim? You don’t even care who you’re replying to, everyone is wrong and nothing else matters xD change name to emptybox, I say

People also claim the earth is flat. Your point?

Why not? Praise is not a finite resource. One person getting praise doesn’t mean another is gonna get less. Sure, those doctors you’re talking about are getting less praise than her, but they’re also attracting less attention and fewer donations. Everyone has their role to play and getting bogged down on who’s doing more and who’s doing better only detracts from the work.
