Sequels are meant to be drastic improvements from the first game. Like everything. Visuals, story continuation, character development, new mechanics and features .etc

The developers who made Terraria contemplated on a Terraria 2 and they were faced with the decision; continue developing Terraria as is or just try to make a Terraria 2.
Seems like they've instinctively chosen to keep supporting Terraria as is, because what can you do with a Terraria 2? When so many ideas and creations have been poured into one game? It sounded like Terraria 2 was going to be the same.

I do. I'm actually making eggs right now. I just know how to make them not burnt. Maybe people suck at cooking eggs, I don't know.
- Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding 2 days ago:
That is exact;y how I feel about MMORPGs. Limited event items, items available at specific levels but you're going to be there grinding and grinding for hours. You might not even get that thing anyways until what was 9 hours of grinding turns into 7 days of grinding. That's not progressing, that's sweatshop levels of work. How is this fun? How is this rewarding? You go through all of that and all you get is maybe a few pats on the back before everyone is back at the woodwork again.
I don't like any game that makes you feel like you've got to live on it to go anywhere. Sure, I play Diablo 2 which by guilt, can fall into the same category. But I make that an exception per my preferences. It's like that's the only game I'll only have room for that I don't mind doing it for, but any other game, I can't be bothered and it is just dropped dead cold.
This is also why people hate mobile games because their premise largely can constitute dark patterns.

I got the first Outer Worlds for free...on Epic.
The sequel will probably also be given away for free at somepoint.

Too bad neither of those games saved Clover from going under. Quite a damn shame.
- Comment on Take-Two CEO Responds to Stock Price Drop Following Google Genie Announcement: 'I Think People Are Confusing Tools With Hits' - IGN 3 days ago:
Right, tools, okay then.
You mean, tools that'll enable you to make even lazier games while laying off the people who've been upholding your shitty company's existence. But you know, Take-Two and especially Randy you fucktard, go for it. Go and make a game entirely off of Google's Genie toy and see how far you get.
- Comment on The Nintendo Switch tops the DS to become the company's best-selling console of all time 3 days ago:
Don't do that, just quietly block the noise as much as possible. I've now blocked any and all politically-based instances and magazines because getting too caught into politics, just makes you all around feel miserable about everything.
And the people who're so gung-ho on hating Nintendo, are the kinds of people that want you to bathe in that kind of misery. It must be taxing and exhausting to be an activist all of the time. Makes me wonder how they manage to sleep at night, if any. There are bigger things going on in the world and hating a video game company is the least of those things to get upset over in comparison.
That's what happens when people who're so defeatist from making a better change in the world do, they just pick on smaller frivolous things and tell everyone to hate on that just to cope because they're simply too powerless to do anything about the bigger things.
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 3 days ago:
That doesn't bother me. What made me gravitate to Diablo was how they did the story. The plot of evil vs good and angels vs demons in a eternal conflict is cliche and overdone. But I liked how Blizzard handled it and I've been glued to it for a while. Mephisto is my favorite character overall and damn they're having an expansion coming soon, that revolves around him, so my temptation will be even greater.
So no it doesn't bother me that it's "too easy" or "almost impossible to die", because my idea of fun is not to have a very frustrating experience.
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 3 days ago:
Agreed.
I love dark fantasy as a theme. But I can't enjoy the theme if the game is going to be padded like that. That's how you make games not fun and there's nothing fun when you're killed in one or two hits. There's challenge and then there's not fun and all soulslike games fall into the not fun part.
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 3 days ago:
They really favored being a lycanthrope in that game. It's the most OP transformation, especially when you get a special ring that takes away some of the negatives of being a lycanthrope. All of your stats get maxed, you can instantly heal between transformations, you are immune from what the guards try hitting you with.
Being a vampire in Daggerfall, isn't as fun.

We all should take the time we have been given for granted, it's one of the values we really have. Because one day, we won't ever again get to enjoy what we could now. I try not thinking too hard about mortality and how eventually, I'm going to be too old to play nearly anything.

Why are we caring about score points?
I care so little about the arrows that I treat it like a scoreboard sometimes. If I see that I've got 1 Upvote and 2 Downvotes, I'll throw up a upvote to tie. I'll treat it like it's a sports game too if it's tied.

- Comment on Stardew Valley Turns 10: The Big ConcernedApe Interview - IGN 3 days ago:
This game to me will always remain as the best farming-based game I'll ever play. I originally grabbed this game in it's first year so I've been there since Year 1 of this game and I think it was one of the few games I've bought for full price too. Haven't regretted it.

My thing with FFXIV is that, so much has blown by me, that just trying to get into it now is so overwhelming. There was a friend I knew that was into FFXIV and he was one of those people that spoke about it like it is his second language. He had his friends too that were into it and it was like they've built this in-depth chemistry through FFXIV and I even watched some of his livestreams of it.
But anytime I tried playing FFXIV, I really stuck out with this empty feeling because I never had that.
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 4 days ago:
Sorry you've been through that.
I've about given up on chasing multiplayer, even including friends. It never fails. Because, there would be times some friends I know are playing a multiplayer game that is big and they're all involved and I want to be involved. Then by the time I get it, they've moved on to something else and it would be a chore to have tried and get them to come back to the game I just got so we can have some of our memories poured into it.
It would never happen, they've grounded their footing into that next game and I would be a little begrudged and eventually I'd get that game, only for the cycle to repeat.
So, I've stopped doing that. Now I have a bunch of all of these games that were fun to have played with people on, just sitting and collecting dust because I tried playing with people I know and cared about. Now most of them play FFXIV, Escape from Tarkov or some other MMO-like game and they know I won't go there to them because I'm not a MMO player, but I was always open to play something else that was multiplayer, but they never bit.

By years, you mean, 2 years.
You can't just expect games to be on sale for deep discounts within 1 - 2 years or even 3 years of it being released. It sucks, I know, but that's how it is. You're forced to either wait 5 - 10 years or just make the jump to buy it as it is after some savings and when you're able to.

- Comment on Game companies see share prices plummet following the launch of Google's very limited virtual world generator, Project Genie 5 days ago:
And then there are games that have big worlds that is simply too exhausting to even cover. Minecraft is that. Me and a friend have boxed ourselves an already large section. I even built very long minecart trails and riding them enough puts me to sleep. It's just too big of a world.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 5 days ago:
I didn't know Fall Guys got bought out. But then again, that was a flavor-of-the-week kind of game where streamers tried to care, then moved on and Fall Guys became irrelevant.
