Which is the better terraria-like?
Never played right, but left is terrible. >enemies infinitely spawn off screen unless you waste your life cleaning every single tile>upgrade and bench system is tedious>actually everything about the game is tediousIt had some good ideas and ok combat but holy fuck they made everything else unbearable
I wish we had right with the graphics of the left because the few remaining bits of programmer art and UI on the right make my eyes bleed. Right is the better game.Left has shallow, incomplete systems (magic and summoning, fishing, ranching and more)and its progression directing from the start is nonsensical as if they didnt even put thought into it.
>>724093028Both are dogshit
Core Keeper is a really reaaaaaly bad game outside of the music, haven't played necesse/
>>724094626So just like Terraria
Ive been playing necesse nonstop since it came out, I'm shocked how much I enjoy it, just beat the final boss on brutal last night and I'm going again with a melee build this time
I asked an anon here if I had to deal with darkoids in neccess. He told me no. I could just get rid of them immediately and not keep them in my settlement.Fucking liar. The first npc you talk to is an immortal nignog. Refunded the game immediately. I detest pavement apes
I watched a video recently about 20 or something "cosy" games that the retard youtuber played for a couple of hours to try out. I knew he was gonna be a faggot, I was just intrested in seeing some gameplay of these games. By the end of it, he had recommended the viewer to play every single game except one, and hardly had anything negative to say, ever. Imagine how low your standards have to be to enjoy troonstone island or coral island
>>724093028I've only played core keeperI tried to give it an honest shot but there's something about it that makes me hate itI don't know how to explain it, it's like bland, tedious and not that difficult but I can sort of see a decent game in there with some key changes.
>>724095647>coral islandThat game is almost playable with some mods.But yeah I'm surprised people like that game, woke shit aside it has a bunch of souless tripe sprinkled throughout the game (characters feeling robotic, events not taking into consideration your relationship levels, asset store dungeon with pure tedium, etc).
I always like base builders in theory but in practice I have a hard time getting into them. Enshrouded is the only one that grabbed me, but it's stuck in EA hell.
>>724097120That's where I'm at with them. Enshrouded was better than Valheim, and most of the rest are absolute slogs. Abiotic Factor is relatively fun but it also has an intense resource grind even once basic things like water and food are taken care of at scale.
>>724093028I played Core Keeper after hearing it being called that for so long, it's a fun game. I still have no idea why people compare it to Terraria though, it doesn't remind me of the game in any way.
>>724097393Abiotic Factors a little too unsettling for me, I just wanna sit back and relax. I don't need background screams in my base builders.
>>724097536I'm playing it with a buddy who is too much of a bitchbaby to get through Bioshock. It's certainly not a cheery romp but it never tries to be actively scary.
>start up Necesse>chop this tree>now make a workbench>now go down into this cave and mine this ore>alright, tutorial done, have funAt least TRY and ease me into it.
>>724094514Thats what I was thinking with Necesse, Terraria isnt beutiful but its artstyle is niceNecesse looks like fucking shit
>>724093028Core keeper. Its better than terraria too.
>>724093172> I have no idea what im talking about
>>724098249>gay retard furry>shit opinionLike Clockwork.
>>724099878...I didn't give an opinion.
>>724095360You get a stylist later you can pay her to change the skin color and look of any NPC. The skin color of the elder and all npcs seems to be random. Annoying but it is what it is.
>>724093028core keeper is kinda better, i played both and necesse while having more features its wayy too autistic, feels like i was playing some sort of 2004 MMO than a survival crafting game, also graphics are hideous, not that core keeper is good either
>>724099609Yea? How many hours before I can give an opinion? Do I need to dredge through 100 hours? 1000? Before I can say it was shit?
>>724093028necesse is pretty shallow. all it did was take concepts from like 3 other games and squandered them. didn't expand on them, didn't make them interesting, didn't connect them in interesting ways. literally just copied someone elses homework and somehow this slop gets an overwhelmingly positive on steam.
>>724095360>his elder was blackdeserved
>>724093028Core keeper is trash with a shitty grind and extremely unsatisfying boring combat, it makes you trawl across the world and grind materials for basically nothing cool and you fight the same boss three times in a row before the endgame.Never played the other one, try it yourself I'd be impressed if it sucks as much cock as Core Keeper.The first few hours of core keeper really make you feel like it has potential but it just squanders it all doing fuck all interesting.>want to make a funny go kart?>it costs like 999 rare ores>it fucking sucks dick, so does the higher tier one
>>724100150You expressed the need to have the game ease you into itselfThat's an opinion you dumb cock sucking imbecile
>>724098249See now this is a great advert for Necesse, fuck long tutorials let me PLAY
>>724098249Kekw yeah kinda rough to start
>>724102742That's literally not an opinion. Factually the tutorial is like 4 minutes long, this isn't up for debate.
>>724102702Corekeeper also lacks cool items or weapons in generalRange? Just shoot projectiles with guns/ammoMagic? Just shoot projectiles with staff/manaSummons? Just lame shit that sends out projectiles and nothing moreMelee? Lame and slow (also gay)
>>724093028Haven't played Necesse since a year or two ago. It looks a lot different now (that's a good thing).There are a few mechanics that I don't care about but it felt interesting enough to hold my attention for 15 hours across a week or so (coming from someone with around 900 hours vanilla Terraria and 900 hours modded Terraria).I'll revisit it now that it got a graphical overhaul and new stuff was added.Never heard anything about Core Keeper that wasn't just "meh".
>>724102024Not him, but nah your playtime is alright. You, personally, just do not know what you're talking about. You're just fucked. Apolo-cheese, there's nothing much to be done about it. Recognize that you're a wretch and accept your station in life.
Been trying out Necesse and I feel a lack of drive for building a base, I'm still just gramming crates and work benches in the guide house. The fact the overworld terrain doesn't really generate any interesting looking places that make me think "wow I want to build a base here" is probably part of the problem. No elevation makes it less interesting.
I'm surprised so many of you hate core keeper so much, I thought it was an amazing game up until I realized how early progression caps out. I felt tricked into thinking the game would be longer and I'd be able to keep upgrading my shit forever until reaching millions of damage, but the world ends up being deceptively small and once you grab the set you want from whatever biome, that's your gear for the rest of the game which consists only of tediously hunting down three bosses upon which the game just ends. It's such a shame because the vibes/music/graphics/everything are incredible but the progression ends so early and abruptly.IMO the game world could use one additional extremely difficult outer layer with new gear sets and a better way of upgrading your equipment that doesn't require those obnoxiously rare gems
>>724093028They're both painfully boring
>>724093028I've played both, I've beaten Core Keeper twice (solo and with a friend), played Necesse like two years ago (?) and currently replaying it with that same friend. So far, I've been enjoying Necesse more. Core Keeper has great ambiance and music, and the game makes you feel like there's a lot to its world but there's not really that much to it. The combat is boring and lacks weapon variety (6 summon weapons lol), which is a shame because I actually like the bosses.I've more problems with the game, but other anons have already mentioned them.
Corekeeper was my fave game of last year but I played it coop. Probably not as fun solo.
>>724093028Haven't played core keeper but I feel like Necesse doesn't give player enough extrinsic reasons to mess around with the subsystems. The baselines are fine and the QOL is appreciated but I'm finding the crux of the challenge is to be good at bullet hells and find good loot so I'm barely engaging with base building and recruitment. Like they give some decent boosts but I can do without them and maintaining them is super easy, barely an inconvenience so I don't feel compelled to use them. I played Keplerth some months back as well and I remember being far more engaged with it compared to Necesse. No villagers but the progression and material farming kept me engaged and so did the variety of tools and upgrades to the point where I had to keep rethinking my toolsets and base defenses. With Necesse I feel like I'm wading in the kiddy pool picking up toys floating around but with Keplerth I felt like I was going in deeper and deeper into a sunken ship trying to get to the treasure room using the stuff along the way to get me closer.
every time i play core keeper the graphics (mostly just the way the terrain looks) makes me sad that i'm not playing dungeon keeper instead
what do we think of Terraria 2?
>>724094626This
>>724109576Whut, Terraria 2 is a thing now? I thought they dropped developing it a decade ago.
>>724110605i was being facetious, it's a game called Kyora by the same guys that dide Core Keeper. it's a straight-up Terraria-inspired game
>>724109576>chucklefish
starbound before they ruined it
>>724094870No. We are talking relative to terraria. It can't be dogshit relative to itself.
>>724093028Both were disappointingly boring, but Core Keeper despite having better presentation was absolutely worse, it's so fucking shallow. Neither captured my attention like Terraria did and I think it has to do with how much better Terraria paces itself and 2D on a vertical plane is simply more interesting and fun to explore than 2D on flat plane.
>>724093028how do you even pronounce Necesse? Ne-ses? Ne-sessy? Necheesy?
>>724093028The end area of Core Keeper is such a slog, the circling boss fight around the out-most area sucks actual ass
>>724093172Fine I'll try it
>>724113090One of the S's is silent. I'll leave you to determine which one.
>>724113090i figured it was like Necessary, so i guess Neh-Sess
>>724104050This is pretty much my experience with core keeper. I really thought there was a lot more to be coming out since it was EA.
>>724097536The security room is by far the most comfy location in the game. I've tried to make a base pretty much everywhere but no place feels as safe as the security room.
>>724109576Honestly looks great
>>724110605That was Terraria: Otherworld or whatever it was called I think.
>>724110984They're the publisher, not the developer
more like niceass lol
>>724114321Call me a basic bitch but I started my base in the starting cafeteria and never left. Central location, ample space, easy to defend, and you're right by the cart recall button.
>>724109576AIEEEEEEEE NOT THE FUCKING WORMSSOMEONE MUST STOP THIS CALAMITY MOD FAGGOTRY
>>724095360Your elder is black only if your IP is indian or american
>>724095038The minion/rim world aspect seems pozzed so I dropped it before 2 hours.
>>724093028Necesse, easily, sure it looks ugly but is a lot more fun to play, the only thing core keeper has going for it is the nice graphics, everything else is shit.
>>724115371I didn't like the cafeteria, something just felt off about it. Left that area as soon as possible and never went back. Power services and hydro apartments/kitchen/gym looked a lot more appealing to me but I never needed a base that big so I didn't bother.
I think Necesse is a little better but I don't think I'll finish it just like Core Keeper. It's really boring how linear it is. Mine rock 1, make ingot 1, craft weapon/armor 1, fight boss 1. Then you repeat that same thing exactly 15 times. There's not really anything interesting to find, there's no side content to do. The village stuff is fine but it's just reducing a little bit of grind. Overall I barely pay attention to the settlement at all besides sending the explorer and miner out, and mainly what it does is make sure I have food available and put things in the right chests (although devs should just be copying magic storage mod from terraria in this current year).
>>724093028Core Keeper is bad alone on the insect boss wall.>uh yeah you just have to prep for the next ten hours to get to the next area because you need the special boss statue to light up
>>724115938It feels like a trap because it has basic versions of everything you need. A walk-in freezer that you can dump shit on the floor until you carry fridges back. Several side areas that break up the space in logical ways. A stove that doesn't turn off at night. A fountain with infinite (tainted) water. It feels like the starting town but it turns out it's also in a transport hub so there's no better place to be.
>>724116059You can skip shit by rushing the pirate and TNTing deep ores
>>724116540I know, it's basically the perfect spot, I guess I just don't like the way it looks as far as making a base out of it.
>>724116059Magic storage is a mod that exists only because of Terraria's item bloat.
>>724113090Isn't it pronounced like "nexus"?
>>724104050>hunting down three bossesIt's been a while but aren't the three bosses just the intro? There are a lot more bosses and biomes.I mostly lost interest because the higher tiers didn't really offer anything new. Gear just changed color and that was it at some point.
>>724117585Anon clearly got filtered because you won't know how to leave that area if you don't try.
I've been playing Necesse for the first time, and it's alright. It's a bit bite-sized, you'll see all the available biomes within like 5 minutes of starting the game, which is boring, but what's there is enjoyable.
>>724117517Then the title would be nexus, no?
>>724095702Core Keeper has no guiding design philosophyIt launched in EA and they just kept tacking on shit without thinking about what they were doing and it's resulted in a complete loss of potential it could have had
>>724098249>>724099878Furries and weebs are so alike and yet they're enemies. You should be rallying together against the normalfags.
>>724121408I only responded to him. The other guy is a weeb AND a normalfag at the same time, a dangerous combo of autism.
I have about 60 hours in Necesse, it's not bad, I like how the NPCs will help fend off enemies and stuff.
>>724095702The one time I tried it, it felt too railroaded in terms of progression. Terraria feels like it generally gives you a lot more options in terms of how to progress through the game.
>>724121408I only responded to him. The other guy is a furry AND a normalfag at the same time, a dangerous combo of autism.
>>724121702What an odd thing to say from Mr. Weird Fetishes Trigger Me.
>>724121876Furries are fucking everywhere mate, its not "Weird", its annoyingMY fetish is weird. It's floor tiles. Do you think we're equal? We're not.
>>724121925Of course we're not equals, you're worse.
>>724113090Neh-ses-see is how I'd say it if I ever spoke it out loud. But, I'll never say it out loud I imagine.
>>724121925>It's floor tilesYou're not that guy, no way, not after all these years.
>>724122090Duh.
>>724112810source?
>>724122162Devilish, but at least I get to think about that guy again.
>>724122337Only an insane person would stick around this shithole for over 13 years.
>>724122434It's not nice of you to call me insane even if it's true...17 years here
>>724123581Weak, I've been here since 2006 posting in poyo threads about Kirby anime fansubs.
>>724123870Well, we're both old as balls now even if you're the older balls.
I didn't play right but Core Keeper is pure, unfiltered dogshit. First 2 hours are fun. Then you start noticing the majority of the loot are selling only. Biomes are nearly empty and repeat. Enemy variety is low. After you blow up the wall to expand the map, it's the exact same shit. More of the same. You almost never find anything cool. Want a new armor set? Farm the same monster with a 2% drop chance for each piece. You got a new weapon? It does nothing. Congrats.It's a boring game.
>>724115723big if true
>>724093028Neither, play Keplerth
>>724093028They're both bad. They have good foundations but they're so painfully boring because everything is handled in the most bland way possible.
>>724103963played with gf, it's a 6/10, playing necesse alone and I'm enjoying it way more
>>724093028how do these compare to stardew valley?
>>724127590You can't really compare them. Stardew Valley is mostly a farm sim with a heavy focus on social interaction with NPCs and learning their stories. The combat portion of the game is just lazily tacked on and has almost zero depth.Core Keeper/Necesse are mostly isometric action/adventure games with a focus on exploration and character progression. Necesse has a larger focus on base building and has a similar NPC system as Terraria where you get people to move in and provide services but the NPCs don't have any real personality to them in the same way that Stardew NPCs do.
>die 2 hours away from spawn>have to run all the way back
>>724128501>isometricYou're using that word wrong, anon. Both are top-down.Isometric is projecting all three axis of a 3D space at right angles. Like Final Fantasy Tactics. Or Elin.
>>724128820Nope shut up.
>>724093172i agree with you... Core keeper is the most boring shit ever. The upgrade system is more retard than Keplerth.
>>724103963nta but the game is boring as fuck, feels like such a waste of time going around grinding resources
>>724117585>>724117685the bosses beyond the wall are boring too...
>>724126190lmao, this game is even worse, you have to literally cheat to beat the end boss.
>>724129350wat? qrd?
>>724129418it's hard to explain... Lets say even with top tier armor, top tier buffs, top tier accessories and genes the boss can still easily kill you in 3 hits instead of one and you have to wait for 10 minutes until your accessories recharge...
>>724093172you are a stupid zoomer
>>724128945
>>724129230As opposed to grinding resources in any of these other games? I've been looking for gold, but none hit that worth it point. Necesse so far is great and I expect the replayability will hold it.
>>724129751I'm in my 30s you stupid animal. A bunch of people have said I'm wrong but provided 0 reasons. The game is just shit. I don't care if you like it but OP asked for information and you've provided nothing but retardation.
>>724109576new vaporware?
>>724097120Groundedobshitian caught lightning in a bottle with first one but ive already seen how terrible the character design is in sequel. cant remove activism from them
