Poll of the Day > why roguelites gotta be hard as fuck

(+) Yeah! (+)

I like the games but nothing comes close to the high roll fun of binding of isaac. Kind of sad, my biggest complaint is that the devs are too concerned with balance to give me that lottery-winning feeling and are trying to veer on the side of Metroid with balanced items and overcoming obstacles by improving your skills. But I'd rather have stupid high rolls.

But in a lot of these games you can kind of ignore the items if you really want since at the end of the game they'll make you maybe 30% more powerful. But in binding of iasaac it would be possible to literally be 300 times more powerful and kill bosses on frame 1 while crashing your computer a couple of times. That's like, as fun as it gets. They would still impose challenge on you as your items might just kill you from being too powerful.

I like games that basically make you a chemist, like Kirby 64.

There was actual lore in 20XX (The one off mini cutscenes and the Datalore entry for Dr. Sharp and Flats creation that basically confirms lore behind the game). I hope 30xx follows said lore. Also, I hope Hawk and Draco return as more playable characters. They were really fun to play, even if they were just DLC.
