>tfw nobody is talking about Megabonk yet it has like 75k playing it right nowWhy is that?
>>722670403/v/ isn't for discussing video games.
>>722670459This.
Personally I thought the game looked like shit and was surprised it outsold shape lf dreams. Not that I bought either of them. Someone said the game was Ai generated and it does genuinely look like that, even if it's not it looks like shit regardless I'm mot really sure what it has going for it other than being a vampire survivors rip which was a rip off a mobile game to begin with.
It's normgroid FOTMslop.But also, /v/ is more interested in discussing culture war slop.
>>722670698Graphics fags are a fucking cancer. More games need to focus on more units and physics interactions. Kys
>>722670698The game is fun as fuck.
>>722670403normalcattle FOTMslop streamerbait doesn't get talked about here, newnigger
I don't mind talking about FOTMslop if it's to my interest. We had plenty of Balatro threads. This looks boring, though.
What is there to talk about? It's just a fun little arcade game you can fuck around with for an hour or two.Are you surprised it doesn't have a lesbian romance or unskippable cutscenes or something?The only discussion I've seen is contrarians complaining about it being popular.
>>722670403Damn theres a lot of slop enjoyers these days huh
>>722670785>NOOOO THE GAME CAN'T LOOK GOODyou're the cancer here retard. Put effort into your product rather than leaving it look like a pile of brownshit on my screen.>>722670806It didn't look that fun I watched some fag play a skeleton on a skateboard but the game looked really barebones. Just going in circles killing mobs. Seems like a zoomer dopamine hit game
>>722670403>please, talk about my fotm slop!kys
>>722671203It is very fun. Its basically Vampire Suvivor but in 3D.
>>722670403It's not very good, and I say this as a sloppig with 100+ hours in Vampire Survivors and that has played probably a few hundred more combined in its clones. It's third person but doesn't leverage any of it with mobility or interesting mechanics, balance is broken but unlike in VS it's not broken in a fun way, and the game is just generally mediocre. I have 13 hours in it and don't really feel like playing it anymore, despite me usually putting a lot more time in this kind of game.
>>722670403Joov is playing it, who is one of only three good YouTubers. If LetsGameitOut or CallmeKevin start playing it as well, then it's probably actually good.
Roblox
>>722671419
>>722671325Idk but I like being able to run around but yeah Vampire Survivor is better.
>>722670403HOLY SHIT IS THAT... IS THAT VIRAL FOTMSLOP THAT WILL BE FORGOTTEN IN 3 WEEKS #382??!?!?!?!?! OH MAMA I CAN NOT WAIT TO TALK ABOUT IT
>>722670403Games live or die based entirely on how many threads show up on /v/.
>>722670459It's streamerbait. Zoomers only watch other people play it.
Game is actually kind of shit.A lot of these "survivors" games miss a key element to what made Vampire Survivors good. When you level up a weapon or item in Vampire Survivors, it's always the same. If you level the Axe for example, it will always add +1 projectile at level 2, then +20 damage at level 3, and it will always cap out at level 8.The reason this matters and is a good thing is that your build MUST revolve around having multiple items (if it's good), and it doesn't rely on getting god rolls on each level up to do that. In Megabonk and several other games (Deep Rock Survivors is another example), the levels for each weapon are randomized and unlimited. The optimal strategy becomes taking ONE weapon and upgrading it to the maximum, because every upgrade compounds and makes it stronger. One weapon at level 20 is 10x as good as 2 weapons at level 10. You can make an exception for a lower level support weapon (ie the Aegis for defense), but spreading your levels for damage is always bad, and you'd almost always rather upgrade your main weapon than any tomes as well.So instead of varied builds where you pick multiple weapons and try to make them all play together, everything is a one trick or at least as close to it as the RNG will allow. Creates very stale gameplay in the long run.
>>722671705lol so all these kids on YouTube bitching about someone not picking up multiple weapons are wrong. Good to know.
>>722670403>ANOTHER vampire survivors cloneHOW the FUCK have zoomoids not gotten tired of it yet? Seriously. I had like 5 hours of fun with VaS and then I've had enough. HOW do you STILL find this shit fun?
>>722670806I already have risk of rain 2 and it has multiplayer
>>722671876Picking them up is sort-of mandatory. You want to fill all your empty slots because once you do the game will only give you loot for those items. By default you have 4 slots and every level up gives you 3 choices. It just helps you level your main weapon faster.Of course, buying the upgrade to add more weapon slots hurts more than it helps in most cases. Buying the upgrade for extra tomes can help. Spreading out points between attack speed/crit/damage or something similar does more than just stacking one. But you only want to level a tome when there's no option for the primary weapon or the option sucks.
>>722670403You need some sort of controversy to get /v/ to talk about a game
fun enough to play but not deep enough to talk about, I guess?
>>722670403I’m convinced anyone who plays these games works on excel spreadsheets all day
>>722670403>streamer bait gamenah
>>722671705>The optimal strategy becomes taking ONE weapon and upgrading it to the maximumnot that good of a strategy, and even if it was "optimal" its still wildly unnecessary for victory.
>>722672364its so funny how different this is from EVERY other metafag in previous threads, lmao
>>722670403Game looks boring, the slop of the day that I've been playing is CloverPit
>>722671705>Vampire survivor is better because the player has less agencyThat sounds retarded
>>722670403Because it's just more of the same if you're into vampire survivors and it's ilk. Nothing really that unique about it.
>>722670403What is there to discuss? You kill the enemies and level up, done
The econ tomes ruin the fun.
>>722671705You also didn't mention how the third stage boss takes away all your weapons except for your primary, basically forcing you to focus on upgrading it which, in turn, makes all the secondary weapon slots best used for support like aegis or blood magic
