one-armed dwarf Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I've actually never watched anything on this, I saw someone describe it as an immersive sim and that got me interested. But the name 'deathloop' makes me think it has rogue like elements in which case I'll just skip it I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Mmmmm I've spent a lot on games already this month but looking at the release schedule there's not much else out until October so maybe I can squeeze in 1 more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but why risk buying it at full price when multiple elements put you off? I think this game needs a demo. Between people not knowing what it is exactly and other people like myself just really not feeling it despite the praise (which I don't doubt is genuine) this seems like the kind of game that would only benefit from it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Calm down girlfriend... didn't realise you were that upset, I'll be sure to big it up next time I mention the game.😘 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I have an aversion to the way critics praise things like this cause they all seem to have a really high tolerance of repetitive 'loop' elements in games, and love that phrase 'gameloop'. It's not even that I think the game will be bad or anything, just wondering how big a component that is in it. If it's a lot of lost progression and repetition I'll not play it then. But I really don't know tbh, too many roguelike fans in games media if you ask me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I just think more folks should take more chances on games outside their comfort zone. I get why they don't and obviously it's their choice, money etc. to do what they want but in general I think people getting a nudge outside their comfort zone is a good thing. That's why GP is so great as it lets folks do that without much of a monetary entrance fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never tell anyone how to spend their money and time but I do agree with this. The best games are the games that surprise, surprise is more likely to be found when playing something outside of the comfort zone. Sometimes you get stung too but it can also lead to the best game experiences and you just don't know until you try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I agree, people really should play Pathologic instead of this. You'll thank me later, actually probably not. But you know, comfort zone obliterated and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I'd love to pick it up but I've spent to much the past few months, watching Eurogamer play through it and it looks a lot more linear than I expected (more like you've got set missions to do in a day, do that, escape the level, start the next day). Plus I should actually finish some of the games I've bought recently... it's so tempting though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried Hades when it came to Game Pass, gave it a good chance and don’t think it’s above a 7/10 for me. Pretty far from the 10’s it got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Here we go, Alex's PC settings guide 👀 It's got some weird sort of bug which causes a hitching effect on mouse movement, but apparently there's a beta patch that fixes it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGERMAN Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I think Deathloop needs something more meaningful. I not sure I want to replay the whole thing just for an extra power and some new enemies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Think it has an extended ending as well I bought this full price a year ago and still in the wrapper 🙁 It can stay there now and I’ll play the PC version on Gamepass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
