I’ve really enjoyed it, and it’s been a breath of fresh air for this friend group that was really struggling to find stuff to play together. We used to get deep into a lot of survival crafting type games, think Ark and Conan, but several of us had gotten pretty burned out on those, and most of the multiplayer stuff we were interested in either didn’t grab everybody or was limited to just a few players. Stuff like Helldivers being only 4 players meant that not all of us could play together, which felt bad. These multiworld games, though, mean that we can all get on a discord call and kick the runs off at the same time, and it feels like we’re playing together as we call out stuff we’re sending to each other or items we need, but then we can wrap the runs up over the course of the next week as we have time. Plus there are enough games that most folks have been able to find something that feels comfortable for them.

I’ve gotten sucked into the rabbit hole that is multiworld randomizers lately. I’ve done several smaller multiworlds with a group of friends (4-8 players) all playing different games, and a week or so ago got involved in a larger one (15 or so players) that was organized on a forum I frequent. All of these have been through Archipelago, and if you’re not familiar with multiworld randomizers their FAQ is a decent introduction. I’ve played a few different games in these - Minecraft, Wind Waker, and most recently Balatro, and all of them have been really interesting and fun ways to play games that I was already pretty familiar with. Also, my regular gaming group has had trouble finding multiplayer games that we all want to play recently, and these archipelago multiworlds make it so that we can play something together without all having to agree on what to play, plus you can play asynchronously so we can start together but then finish runs out as we have time. It’s been really cool and I’m jonesing for more.

I can’t tell for sure, but it doesn’t look like Revolt has voice chat yet? Which was what attracted my friend group to Discord initially.

Hey just FYI, links in the post title don’t work on Beehaw. Here’s the link to the steam store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2339840/Enter_the_Gungeon_2/

I loved the first EtG and played a ton of it. I’m not entirely sold on the new 3d art style, but I’ll try to give it a fair shot once it gets here.

Also, the original Enter the Gungeon is available on Xbox Game Pass for any of you folks that have it. It’s absolutely worth checking out.

If you can’t tell the difference between being upset that a game was made badly and being cruel to the developers, you may need to take a step back.

Hi. You’ve gotten some very good responses from the community so I’m going to leave the thread up for now, but please be aware that pushing more will likely result in removal or a temp ban. Thanks.

Go touch grass.

There’s no need for this, seriously. I get that it’s a gaming community but we’re trying to be better than the usual toxic mess, right?

It was very early on, the first week or so after it released. I’m sure they’ve fixed a lot of the bugs but honestly I just haven’t really been motivated to try it out again.

I tried to play London and it crashed constantly. Now, that’s not all that different an experience from playing any Bethesda game, but it did kind of kill any interest I had in the mod.

I saw this headline and expected something very different than what I got, and I’m really glad. I think the last decade has made me really cynical about technology and the internet, for some good reasons, to the point where a story like this is almost surprising. I found myself a little caught off guard by how emotional I got while reading it. Thank you for posting this.

So IMO nothing has really ever topped the old Asmik Ace/AKI wrestling games from the N64 era. I played a ton of WCW/NWO Revence, and WWF No Mercy is still considered by a lot of people to be the best wrestling game ever made, and apparently still has an active modding scene.

Some of the decks and jokers you unlock change the game pretty dramatically.

I’m in the same boat, I’ve made it all the way to Orange and just can’t seem to put together a winning run. Which deck have you been trying it with?

Let’s not use disabilities as insults, please.

Yeah, it’s named after this guy from celtic folklore.

I don’t know how “pure” you want your chiptunes to be, but for my money Master Boot Record is some of the best stuff out there. I would definitely say it’s at the very least gaming inspired if not pure chiptunes, and it kicks all kinds of ass. They’ve done a lot of covers of classic game music - Bloody Tears is a great one, as well as their cover of the Doom theme. But I really love their original stuff too. Internet Protocol is a 10/10 album to me.

Slightly less chiptunes but still absolutely gaming inspired is their side project Keygen Church. Tenebre Rosso Sangue from the Ultrakill soundtrack is probably their best known track. It’s sort of a chiptunes adjacent castlevania-metal vibe? It’s hard to describe but it absolutely destroys.

Yeah IMO the more famous and respected Kojima has gotten, the worse his writing has been. And I think you’ve hit the nail on the head, he badly needs editors. I think it’s kind of like George Lucas in that they have a lot of ideas, some of which are really good and some of which are absolutely batshit. Sometimes those types of writers need someone who can ground them and tell them that they don’t have to put all of their ideas in.

@Scary_le_Poo and @jarfil: if the two of you have a disagreement on another thread, please work it out between the two of you like adults there; don’t spill it over into other, unrelated threads.

@Scary_le_Poo, these types of personal attacks are not acceptable on beehaw. It is possible to disagree while still being kind and without resorting to angry or abusive language. Please try to remember beehaw’s guiding principal when interacting with others in the future.

I understand frustration with potential spoilers, but to be fair this scene was in a livestreamed demo that Larian hosted that went viral before the game even launched. It’s not been kept particularly secret and I don’t think it’s probably a major plot point.
