deckbuilders are the only ones that make sense. Beyond that the only one that didn't make me want to tear my eyes out is rogue legacy (how's 2 in comparison?) Shit like hades has almost no randomization beyond boons or whatever they're called and should get boring to any sane person in a very short amount of time.
>>
There's skill based methods of mitigating rng to the point that skilled streamers have high win rates but honestly it's a little much for me and probably most people who play the game. I've gotten dozens of A20 wins but I have a low win rate because I can't be fucked to spend 10 minutes on a single card choice. Every turn/choice takes me 30 seconds max now, I'd rather die and restart than have an autistic analysis for every decision.

>>729274794

you constantly make decisions in the game and the RNG makes the decisionmaking more engaging

Adapting to changing and unexpected situations is fun.

It's a mix of the gambling high of not knowing when you'll get a good drop, but also has an interesting level of replayability because you're rolling with the punches of getting upgrades and toolsets you might not expect while pairing it up with a random series of choices and challenges.

The process of learning the games in and outs and utilizing its mechanics to the fullest is fun. Roguelites are just hyper-condensed versions of this loop.
>>
>>729274794
Because you can play a run in 30-60 minutes. Doesn’t require a large amount of time to play a round or two

My main issue with deckbuilders is that you cant really experiment without throwing a run because keeping deck low is king.

Uncs enjoy roguelites too. Isn't Age of Empires 2 pvp all about being roguelite?

Why are tards on /v/ so unable to understand drafting games? I could understand considering clover pit and balatro gambling but something like slay the spire is in a completely different league

>>729275726
>>729275847
posts like this just prove it, neither of you have any understanding of how many decisions are in StS and just mouth off random retarded opinions. In fact having a larger deck is considered way stronger and more consistent at higher ascensions because tiny decks are so susceptible to being wound/cursed out

Roguelites are arcade games for zoomers.

>>729275984
i'm not saying STS is bad, but it is a 'pick-3' type game, by definition. which is not really emergent gameplay in a true sense. you are given a predictable range of choices in a predictable pattern. its formulaic. again, that does not mean it is bad. lets try to be adults here.
>>
>>729276073
You probably just play quicker on phone. I would sit there for minutes sometimes just thinking about what to do going through all my options and calculating odds. I can't imagine trying to do that shit while staring at a tiny screen. Much more likely to just pick cards without thought.

This is a thread about STS

>>729277456
Why is it not emergent? Every single card in STS is takeable under circumstances, I agree alot of "pick 3" games like Vampire Survivors can just boil down to picking the one that reads the strongest from all 3 but the gameplay in STS never encourages that type of stuff outside of P.Strike/Claw neither of which are that strong

I recently had a cool Ironchad run, nothing too crazy, but I had pandoras box from the act 1 boss. After a couple of turns against the act 2 boss I noticed I only had six cards left which surprised me because I didn't have any of the classic exhaust cards like true grit or burning pact. It just so happened almost every card naturally exhausted itself. I didn't even notice until that point.
Anyway after I found dark embrace and fiend fire kino ensured. In one or two turns I had 30+ strength and could loop a couple of times with dropkick and pommel strike.

Marginally better but I hated Rogue Legacy.

>>729278745
its not emergent if there are a finite set of permutations
>>
>>729275847
Chrono Ark is way more forgiving with deck experimenting since the game lets you replace your basic cards with new cards and if you have not been playing those cards then slotting a new card in their place will not affect your run in any way.
>>
>>729279587
very few games have emergent gameplay, yes i agree
glad we have come to this mutual understanding

STS suffers from a principle I would like to call math fatigue. The game lacks a core identity in the way that the player was meant to sort of.. *drag* the card rather than properly space it like you would in Magic the Gathering
>>
>>729279997
>>729280079
Hades 2 really is a case of self-serve difficulty where the 2 good weapons cleave the entire run and they task (You) with applying enough heat so the game is fun again. Shame there's no video about that.
>>
>>729279870
Don't be disingenuous, it's emergent as far as any human lifetime is concerned and even then different decisions can be made in a single seed.

This is like saying Chess has no emergent gameplay or something because there's a possible static amount of boardstates

Kill the grey one first, if they are splitters always try to burst them as hard as possible before they split, you have to calculate how much damage to do in a turn without splitting them.

Because zoomies suck at games and instead of playing one that requires skill they'd rather play slots until they can get a busted combo that 1-shots everything

having a brain will save you. to do mental calculations and formulate strategies by synergizing good cards after you read the description once.

People get upset because the game doesn't hold your hand teaching you is funny.

It's all about IQ. Low IQ people are only aware of the most obvious or famous builds. Low IQ people also get hit more likely, have worse reflexes, bad positioning and strategy. They require powerful setups and only know how to build few of them, so it is mostly luck dependant for them. For higher IQ people, they have many more options of viable builds they can utilise to great effect. They avoid getting damaged, have fast reflexes, and have good positioning so they can create a predictive battle and not even rely on their fast reflexes. High IQ people don't really need to build a powerful setup, and can build them much more frequently. They will always have an at least adequate setup and can get by with a terrible setup just fine. They can have win streaks in the hundreds.

Just picked up STS a few days ago and it just seems like there's no reason to not just pick the same optimal cards every run and then keeping the deck slim to draw them more frequently. I thought there would be more variation considering the praise the game gets.
>>
>>729283486
It depends on who you are playing as, it depends on the bosses you are facing, you won't always get to build the combos you want so you have to adapt.
>>
>>729278745
Even p strike has situations where it is the correct pick, even if it is something you will really want to move away from in act 2
>>
>>729283486
You should consider that: a. if you're playing on low ascendancy it literally doesn't matter what you do, you have to try to lose, and b. status cards exist and can completely buttfuck thin decks.
>>
>>729274794
Procedural generation is fine, deck building is not and all card games are utter sludge that can be reduced to a literal excel spreadsheet

A top player might only have a 50% win rate, but a low level player will only have a 0% win rate. The difference between the two is skill.
