Roguelite games: Are we a joke to you?
“My achievements are my own, but only possible by climbing the mountain of corpses beneath me”
- Sir Issac Newton on ‘winning’ the Binding of Isaac, probably
Shoutout to my one friend that had no idea you were supposed to run from Asylum Demon and actually did beat it with the broken short sword
Oh, I did that too! I did realise part way through that I was meant to flee, but by that point, I’d already spent so much time attacking it that I had committed to my quest.
The embodiment of git gud.
Rimworld: you are bleeding and will soon lose consciousness. The only person who can help you has just gone mad. You get to watch the inevitable death for as long as it takes, but you get a good story out of it.
Also Rimworld: Then, the man in black arrives.
The Man in Black is solely there to be a witness to my base burning down
You say that but the last fromsoft game had literally the first boss be one you are supposed to die to
EDIT: yep, forgot armored core exists
I’m drawing a blank. Wasn’t the first AC6 boss that helicopter?
They forgot about AC6 and were thinking of the Grafted Scion outside the Chapel of Anticipation in Elden Ring.
yep, I did, thats on me
I got you. Demon’s Souls started with a boss you were supposed to die to as well.
Seeing boss before playing a FromSoft game: “Oh no…”
Seeing boss after beating a FromSoft game: “Come back here and fight, coward!”
