I can't say I understood much about the game from this trailer, unfortunately.

Yeah. This is kinda gaslighting:

We’ve also seen a rise in anti-China posts that have hit Reddit lately, and along with that comes anti-chinese racism,

No. Anti-china posts are not racist. We all hate Hitler Germany. Does that mean we are racist against Germans?

This sentence is fundamentaly flawed and shouldn't exist in the documentation.

Yes.

I managed to get in because apparently now it's invitation only but I still MUCH prefer lemmy.

Mostly because everyone is moving towards ActivityPub and Tildes isn't.

Oh wow, already? I made an account a few days ago without restrictions.

Getting lost is part of the experience.

I got lost on where to go countless times. The initial response of your brain is This is not fun. I braved through it and instead said I need to get lost less so I invested more time to getting maps and mark dead-ends or impassable places and it made the game one of the best games I've ever played.

It's also the reason I DO NOT like survival games.

I would be ok with this mechanic if I didn't have to eat 10 bear steaks of 2 kilos each to last me for the next 10 minutes.

they feel like cheating.

Or worthless. This item increases your dmg for 10 seconds.

Dude, 1 second is the animation alone and after consuming it, I need to use 3 skills to snapshot the dmg increase so effectively I have 4-5 seconds of actual usage.

Consumables are horrible as a system in general.

I can say that the only timed content I enjoyed was in WoW and it was the Challenge Modes.

Both because you could try it multiple times and because the reward was an actual prestigious and awesome reward.

I can't think of another game with a timed run mechanic that offered anything close to that.

[–] Alkalyon@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

And this is what this mod solves, but yes, you are correct. Once is enough. EVERY time is atrocious.

Consumables.

They either offer too little for a too short time or too much too easy.

I haven't seen a game where consumables are promoted from the get-go and are easy to use and not a hussle or completely broken.

Alaloth has a great iteration of consumables but I still wouldn't say it's fun as a standalone mechanic.

My girlfriend has ~800 hours in Lost Ark and ~500 hours in Guild Wars 2.

She always nags me about not finding her new games. I am glad we are compatible in more than one thing.
