A SUCCULENT COUNTESS MEAL?!?!??!

>>719317769
the only thing people like about this game are the ancestors quotes and various other lines of dialogue
this is because nobody plays this game, they just watch someone else play it on youtube
sad but this is gaming in 2020+5

is there a single person you didn't backstab, Ancescunt?

Everything, like actually everything.

There are people who genuinely like the gameplay but yeah, I really liked the presentation and so on but the gameplay was just tedious to me. I know, it's thematic. I still didn't like it. Maybe that's thematic too.

I'm playing it now, just about to kill the Countess on Bloodmoon, but you're right

>UI is really clunky, no sliders for volumes, no filtering trinkets by stats, etc
>Crimson Court is just a black hole of attention that overshadows the Darkest Dungeon itself
>Long, long, long grind without more progress benchmarks
>Both DLCs make it even grindier
>Dialogue besides the Ancestor is repetitive
>When things go well, the game is quiet because the gameplay loop was't designed expecting you to keep everyone's stress levels low and health high so well
>When things go sour, it fucking sucks, because you lose your favourites and/or a shitton of progress
>RNG decides the majority of decisions
>Ending is shit

Character, style and ambience carry this game hard. The hero movesets are good, but not enough to be felt in the weight of all the downsides. Mods go a long way to making this game feel more playable, from adding things to reducing grind and making it a bit more fun

I'd like a variation where they give more recourses in bad situations and more incentives for good situations. Maybe districts could be fully unlocked in tiers, each cheaper but less rewarding until you get to the full bit

Yeah, no, you're a faggot. DD is a masterpiece and genuinely some of the best turn-based combat ever made.

>maxxing out a toon takes a long while
>you should care about your toons
>death is inveitable due to the rng nature of the game
>a death doesn't mean anything besides more grinding

Devs are retarded when it comes to rng and I don't think that any game has quite figured it out.
A player will always try to win and most of the times the odds will be in the players favor, so when you do eventually get fucked over it's not just a feeling, it's a fact.
>but just pick up the pieces and continue on
That would be interesting if just dealing with the rng wasn't just more pointless grinding to get back to where you were

Take another example: xcom
If you are not retarded, you will only take shots which have a very high chance to hit, but due to the nature and pure length of the game there will come a time where you will miss a 95% shot and your plan b fails to so now you will get fucked over. This means that you will need to farm another toon back to where the last one was.
This shit is just pointless.

I'd enjoy DD2 way more if it weren't for the bullshit decision of locking hero skills behind meta-progression (and rng metaprogression at that)

Absolute pleb, it's one of the most kino endings in vidya

People who play with porn mods have and will never praise gameplay.

Is 2 good yet?

>>719318323
No, actually. I think from what we see he did actively work against every single person he ever met or even glanced upon, beyond the simple "Working for an Elder God (which he did also try to cheat several times) which will inevitably doom humanity."
If there was a way to fuck a man over, my good Ancestor would do so with aplomb. A true role model.
