Why did it fail to achieve same peak of popularity as original game?
>>738931445Because ror1 and ror returns both suck, but one came out over ten years ago when people were still playing cave story.
>>738931445Because it was just the original game with some superficial updates.
>>738931445>take flawed but fun original game>add more flaws and remove fun>???>don't profit
yeah like they said. also mods mog both games so hard they cant compete despite gearbox backing them
This IS the thread btw.
>>738931445because all the people who still cared about risk of rain 1 were playing it modded with the ridiculously extensive starstorm mod, and returns didn't provide anywhere near that level of extra contentthe funny part is, everything from returns was backported to ror1 via mods almost immediately anyway
>>738931445game vs overfit product
>>738933476
>>738931445Because it didnt need a remake
Did hotpoo really remake 1 because everyone knew it was better than 2? And everyone stuck to the original anyways
>>738935676no they did it for probably a easy reimagining and more dlc
>>738931445probably because the original devs are sellout faggots, people are more than happy to support games that stay indie
lobby doko
>>738933476THE thread?

>>738939268Miss them.
steam://joinlobby/3527290/109775245112320233/76561198254374555Daily
How's RoR2 these days anyway?
>>738939682played it last year. pretty fun but it got repetitive. that roboball dlc boss was fun. i'll miss mercenary when the other dlc comes out
>>738931445>Why did it fail to achieve same peak of popularity as original game?The original game was a couple of dollars to buy, ran on thirdie toasters and came out back when there were fuck all indie games around.ROR1 wasn't good so much in that it simply didn't have any competition. Same as Minecraft really.Indie success is more about timing than anything else.
>>738939268i miss /v/ risky rain nights...
>>738931445>still no official mod supportDid they just tell the star storm dev to kick rocks after he fixed all of the outstanding bugs, or did he lose the passion to continue?
>>738939682I still play it a lot. The Gearbox team in charge of it seemed to actually learn their lesson after Seekers of the Storm was fixed, because Alloyed Collective came out almost perfectly. Didn't need a goddamn 3-part road map of fixes and it was recieved extremely well.
>>738931445Cause most people moved on and RORR was marketed towards the ROR2 fans which are babyfied players compared to OG fans. When the game came out it was bombarded by bad reviews of it being too hard. People asking for mouse aiming, etc. In my opinion the initial appeal for the original game was its challenge (for its time) and its limitations which are meant to be surpassed with items and RNGRORR is a great game and is a good sendoff from Hopoo before he went to valve. I am glad he made it before dipping
>>738943198>ROR2 fans which are babyfied players compared to OG fansdamn really?I play with a friend group that mods it heavily and plays on monsoon minimum, preferably typhoon.
>>738939268
>>738943198>When the game came out it was bombarded by bad reviews of it being too hard.To be fair, I definitely noticed that they fucked with the difficulty scaling and the controls were nowhere near as responsive as ROR1. So it was definitely harder.
>>738931445Returns pisses me off so much. Not because of it being bad because I actually think it's fucking great.It's the fact the potential was squandered so so hard. It's the perfect platform for continually adding stuff at a quicker pace than 2 with it being a simpler game overall and yet it just got abandoned wholesale without even dropping official mod support before dipping.Returns with a new Starstorm would be perfect, it's really hard to go back to old RoR1 with all the QoL and cool stuff Returns added being absent. Alternate abilities, more stage variety, new survivors, etc etc.
>>738934368It fucking did. Just the fact that you DON'T need to hunt down every critter before you're allowed to move on in a game that DOESN'T want you to waste time is a huge gamechanger.
>>738939437The scouts finally peaked on default difficulty, I'm so proud of them.
>>738945394From what I remembered, the wasted potential was entirely on Hotpoo and Gearbox, because they cut off the actual dev team for RORR and barred them from making any updates.
>>738934368The dated game maker netcode needed to be improved upon. While it was ported into gm studio for the console ports it still left some things to be desired.
>>738945552>he's right behind me, isnt he?
>>738945704>we're so back!>months later>*crickets*Being a fan of 1 and not enjoying 2 much is suffering incarnate.
>>738931445I'm shocked it never got DLCIt was prepped and primed for it too
Hmm..
>>738933476huh...>Why did it fail to achieve same peak of popularity as original game?>peak of popularity>peakoh you fucking quadruple niggers
>>738935676retard
>>738948984Too good?
>>738948873
Anyone down for a ror1 lobby?
>>738952089Wont be home for a few hours but yes
I don't know, when's the last time they did anything with it? Why go back to it just to not build on it any more? 2 gets new content.
>>738945394Hotpoo just dropped it as a quick love letter to OG fans then left to take some dream jobs at Valve. I can't blame them.
>>738945552Good work
host when
It’s the best RoR game
>>738946032I understand. I really just don't care that much for 2. I could play it once in a while, but that's it. 1/r I could play every night for hours.
>>738933476>>738939268>>738941850Takes me back to 2016Coobie and bigboners and EternalNewfag and other old names...
lobby doko?
>>738931445They ruined it by giving enemies the ability to climb ladders
>>7389569861 or starstorm?
I think after playing 2 it's hard to go back to the incredibly sluggish movement of the first first few levels each time you start a new run. Pilot was basically the only character that felt remotely playable because he was the only character which could traverse stage 1 end to end in less than 2 minutes.
>>738943198I think its pretty rich to talk about this when the /v/ meta was to play with command and glass, and attempt to slightly balance out how fucking easy that made the game with spite.
>>738952635I am now home. if there is no lobby in ~30 mins i will host starstorm

>>738975451Instead of just adding new content they decided to fuck the balance of the game for no particular reason.
my only issue with Returns is for whatever reason if its a 2 man lobby if one of them loses connectiont they cant rejoin so the hoster has to rehost otherwise its pretty much perfect

>>738944967thanks for hosting Hostbot
>>738985150shitty oc is the best
i personally just like ror1 more, be it nostalgia or w/e
Post tuneshttps://youtu.be/LEUwTBWkeas
>>738931445New players weren't interested because they have the pick of the litter when it comes to online multiplayer roguelites now, and while there's still barely any that tackle the same style as RoR1, they nevertheless have a much bigger and generally more popular backlog to work through. Hell, if they're inducted into RoR, it's more likely to be RoR2 due to all the mods and the DLCs and what not.For returning players, what really made things soar the first time around was those 12 player lobbies, and RoR Returns simply just didn't have that on launch, so a large part of initial momentum got stunted by people holding out for it. This was also compounded by the fact that there were concerns true modding would be impossible due to how the game was compiled for GMS2, especially since RoR2 gave them a taste for such luxuries as mid-game joining/rejoining.So an otherwise fairly competent (aside from Overloading shit) rerelease with much needed modern improvements just didn't have the X-Factor it needed to really stand out. Although, I will say it's really fukken gay that you don't see Returns lobbies now that increased playercap is built into the game, but that's more an issue with the average anon these days being deathly afraid of hosting ANYTHING
I hate that the classic /v/ ruleset isn't as playable anymore since overloading enemies have such ridiculous reach now
is there some discord or something so we can speak during a risk of rain returns game
>>738990852What are you, gay?
nevermind you literal faggots would rather play peak. fuck you. The OP isn't even about peak faggots.
>>738932248>ror1 and ror returns both suckunbelievably based fp
>>738991153If it has "peak" in the OP chances are that it's a Peak thread. That being said, I'm sure that some people here would be interested in playing RORR, it's just that these are very slow hours for lobbies of any kind.
>>738990412https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTJcLE_VVX8
>>738991153try again later it's still a bit early. i'd join but i'm busy and waiting for starstorm.100% agree on the peak thing though, not sure people feel like they have to keep disguising the threads when they aren't even being deleted or moved. just make a fucking peak thread if you want peak
>>738991567Returns adds more than enough new content. Why would you want to play startstorm?
>>738931445When the original released it was an interesting little gameWhen Returns released it was just another action roguelite
>>738991689i like da buge. i suck ass with anyone else
>>738991940well you might be in luck because this exists
if only the thread would live for 8 more hours we can get a host going
>>738993049In returns you can have more than 4 players now. Let that be known.
>>738932829The game has a switch to turn on the classic rules in
>>738993093that's pretty cool, now if only there were more then 4 people who played returns
>>738991567Hey I would gladly play RoRR, RoR2, repo and other shit if the lobbies were at a time I could play.>disguising the threadsquite a few peak threads have been getting autosaged if they are directly about playing it and not just mentioning it as an example for something
>>738993225bitch please, even LESS people play the OG
>>738993225Sorry burgerbro, cant join your 3am ror lobbies.
>>738997497Cursed knife is pretty good in returns.

>>738931445No eceleb and streamer marketing.
>>738997497>thought RoRR1 is EZ compared to RoR2 becasue of 3D>it's actually hard as fuck
>>738931445The devs were supposedly and inadvertently locked out of updating the game repo after some executive meddling further up, but even with news of an update last year, it's silent still. Combined with Starstorm for the original raising the bar, once everyone was done with the new content they just moved on.

>>739018347i played ror2 with a friendfor some reasons EA ror2 felt more fun
>>738957453He's absolutely bullshitting. ROR1 was a dice roll if you got good items or not. It was only the top tier characters who could really push through with a bad build.
>>739017917It was funny seeing him have a melty because someone said Prince was an asshole once.
Is the last boss and zone of ror2 still utter fucking shit? Haven't touched it for a while.
>>738931445Starstorm exists already. For Returns specifically I played at launch and it just felt off to actually play. Also really didn't like the Providence Trials.
