IMHO, worthless though it is, I don’t get why Diablo-likes are called ARPG’s. They have lots of A and no RP. (They are Gs tho.)
Because in 1996 experience points, leveling up, character attributes, and magical loot were all closely associated with RPGs. Over the intervening roughly 30 years those mechanics have been adopted by games all over the spectrum. However the genre-name for Diablo-like games stuck due to convention.
Also Diablo being called an ARPG predates Dark Souls by 10 to 15 years.
This wouldn’t apply to that criticism. An ini is a configuration file, not really source code.
Oh, so it’s just not funny
Oh yeah, I forgot about that section - definitely distasteful.
I played 5 when it came out and didn’t think much of it, though it was also controversial at the time. Having it set in Africa means lots of black people - which seems better than pretending Africa doesn’t exist?
I’m sure their custom database will be easy to find people to support and maintain
People dress their kids up in silly costumes all the time with minimal to no repercussion. The kids also probably like it more than a cat would in most cases.
