What are you playing?

That's why Other M is superior in it's implementation of authorization mechanics restricting Samus' abilities.

Absolutely retarded and not even original as that nonsense excuse was already used in Fusion.

I dunno, man. I feel there's a difference between "I found a differen energy beam!" and "But what if I reach out with my hand?"

But she only has one hand to grab with. Clearly she needs the power grip upgrade!

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

Clearly, she hasn't been jerking off Adam enough.

Absolutely retarded and not even original as that nonsense excuse was already used in Fusion.

Not exactly. Samus' suit got its shit wrecked before the game starts, so she's pretty much at square one.
What does happen though is some chucklefuck telling you. Where to go.

[Kugelfisch]

And unlocking the allowance for the upgrades. She could just get all of them unlocked right away otherwise. Same shit.

Nightreign is the most shameless cash grab i've ever seen after WoW Klessik and The Last of Troons' "remasters".
It's marketed as a "roguelike", but it doesn't even have the permanent progression of a roguelite.
Basically a pve-only mix of Fortnite and a hero shooter (with only 6 characters), with an Elden Ring skin and combat.
You have to speedrun around the map by pressing L3 to sprint, because during the session a "night zone" that kills you enlarges, and makes the map smaller and smaller.
You kill shit as fast as possible in the hope to find some randomized weapons that don't suck, and then you fight bosses that destroy you if you play solo, or if you are teamed up with retards.
No guild system, no real communication between players outside of placing pins on the map.
Almost nothing to unlock, the gayme will probably be dead before they add more khontent.

On a more positive note:



Silent Hill meets King's Field.
There is no real penalty for dying - you just respawn at the last visited shrine - but on the other end monsters keep spawning randomly all over the place, and the game introduces almost immediately a Nemesis-like invincible enemy - the one at 0:46 - that keeps pursuing you everywhere.

Looking forward to the day FromSoftcock takes a hit in their financials. They've been deep-throated for far too long & need to suffer a blow to their overinflated reputation. Maybe this recent push towards PvPvE liveservice faggotry will be the answer.
Demon King seems breddy gud.

[Kugelfisch]

FromSoft is on my permanent blacklist. They fucked me over with DS2. I never forgive that sort of thing.

I actually wanted to get that Labyrinth of the Demon King game. But then it came out and I decided not to bother buying a game. Or even pirating it.

Night Reign looks like complete fucking garbage. An asset flip incorporating a decade of assets to shamelessly milk the PUBG gaymer crowd. Also, the idea of only 6 builds in a fromsoft game is a sin worthy of public execution. Even Demon's Souls had more fucking builds than that.

It's marketed as a "roguelike", but it doesn't even have the permanent progression of a roguelite.

To be fair, roguelikes should not have meta-progression. Ever. So if you're complaining it doesn't have permanent progression like some roguelite goyslop, that sounds like a point in the favor of the game. Meta-progression is a cancer on the indie gaming industry. Some of the worst indie games I've ever played were meta-progression roguelites or "roguelikes."

The ack-tshual reason nightreign doesn't have meta-progression is probably because it's a gay multiplayer game for losers with friends.

It's no masterpiece, but it does its job; maybe it's a bit too easy once you figure out the optimal strategy to take down every type of monster.
It has the puzzles and atmosphere of Silent Hill, and the exploration, armors, weapons and secrets of a dungeon crawler.
A way better experience than Nightreign.

Mostly Elden Kang's.
I believe only the final bosses of each map (and i believe there are 5-6 maps in total) are from Dork Souls.
Maybe i'm wrong and the maps after the first one are from different games, but i doubt it.

To be fair, roguelikes should not have meta-progression. Ever.

I remembered that only after writing my previous comment, and i didn't even bother to edit it; the absence of meta-progression is the only thing this shit has in common with roguelikes.
A multiplayer session of Mario Kart is a roguelike as much as this thing is a roguelike.

Also, the idea of only 6 builds in a fromsoft game is a sin worthy of public execution.

Lol, builds?
Diablo 3 has some semblance of builds.
Gunfire Reborn has some semblance of builds.
This thing has 6 Overwatch heroes who use soulslike combat instead of guns.

The differences between them are:
-Their looks, there's no fucking armor in the gayme.
-Their starting weapons and shields.
-The length of their red, blue and green bars; if and when you level up during a session, the growth of your character is set in stone. There is no time to allocate stats manually.
-Their (2) gay special moves on cooldown.

Every noob (me included) picks either the witch or the archer, bows and crossbows have infinite arrows.

Meta-progression is a cancer on the indie gaming industry.

In general i agree, in this particular case a meta-progression system is the only thing that would push players to keep playing in the long run.
This thing is not going to last 3 months.

LMAO, I thought Nightreign was just DLC

They can always sell cosmetics.

This is still the only soulslike that matters:
