>>743380839What was his fucking problem?
I did not care for Mewgenics.
>>743381325Explain yourself what didn’t you like about it
>>743381417It fails at being a satisfying roguelite, a satisfying TRPG, and a satisfying breeding/genetics sim. It tries to spin too many plates at once and I think each element compounds to the game feeling more annoying than entertaining. I put 90 hours in and yet still dropped it without seeing the ending because I wasn't having fun.I fully believe carrying items from previous runs and the whole eugenics system hampers the game more than helps it. The management aspects after every run (like item trashing and day spamming) are tedious while also leading to far too easy of power snowballing with the cats. Runs feel unsatisfying if you're OP, or frustrating if you're unlucky, this wasn't an issue in Isaac because you could counter bullshit with raw dodging and shooting skill.The mechanics are there for a great game but how it's currently formatted makes me just wish I had the TRPG parts with a proper lengthy campaign without the repeat chapter padding we currently have. The miniboss cats are also far more charming than our cats and I'd rather play as those. The music and Edmund charm do a LOT of heavy lifting, the plot could be better too but the characters are fun at least the game also unironically insists upon itself via references and making them a whole "Edverse" now

Best soundtrack of the decade, but actually playing Mewgenics is such an ordeal.
>>743383357https://youtube.com/shorts/-I13rPTXgzw
so what was the deal with the enemies in the end only representing creatures in the end is nigh only about one third of the time?i understand that maybe ed wanted to add in some new threats to make it not entirely a reference chapter, but the demon shit is completely out of place and makes me fucking MAD. i loved how they translated the gasper enemy into mewgenics and i am disappointed that its the only enemy to get this kind of treatment. it's such a perfect fit that it almost feels like they were too afraid to do this for each enemy, in fear that the chapter would be called out for being self-referential in the edverse, but it's already seen that way by most people so why not go all in and do awesome stuff with it?also somewhat pissed that they turned the mother enemy into the twelfth fucking representation of maggy across all his games. i was thinking for once that the enemy in tein was unrelated and was only called mother because it was a huge mind meld of tumors that spread across the land, with a thematic kind of name instead of literal. god damn it, the beast face and everything, WE ALREADY KNOW, FUCK!!!sorry for writing like a dedicated schizo but i wanted to air this out as a huge teinfag.
>>743390265Most of them would not work well at all if adapted more literally since they're more platformer obstacles and not proper enemies. Slags for one only moved slowly left and right, and Floasts literally just stand still.Also Slag might as well be Gizzarda from Bumbo, they're very similar in both looks and behaviour.
>>743390532you have a point about that yes. i think i can forgive floasts much more than slags because they needed to have them attack your cats in some way, and at least they look the same, but it would have probably been better to bench them and slot in another enemy. the gasper was amazing to me precisely because they took a platforming element from the game that didn't do much, and put in the work to make the gas function practically 1 to 1. it really feels suffocating to have your cat walk into the poison gas, and it can cover half the map just as often as it covered half the screen in that game, and their final kamikaze move while being unique to mewgenics is great because yeah, i would imagine floating balls of gas that look suspiciously like sea mines would be capable of such an attack.i think there were definitely ways they could have gone about it. slag enemies for example could be a nuisance that goes around slapping your cats for miniscule damage, but also have thorns so dispatching them wouldn't be so simple. i was also aware about slags being more similar to a bumbo enemy, but i figure they could have thrown a bone to fans of that game elsewhere, or actually called them a gizzarda instead of stealing the slag name, like wtf they already had their own name so why would you do it like that???
>>743391274They've could've picked enemies that would be easier to translate, like Croasts, Crunches and Musks.Also surprising lack of ghostly enemies, Wall of Sorrow and the final level had a bunch of them.
>>743390265>>743391274a TEINfag in the wild? rare
>>743392849what does TEIN mean?
>>743393101the end is nigh
two retards thinking
>>743393631but how can franklin be retarded if he has a brain??
>>743382149I disagree on nearly every point but I respect your opinionthe breeding parts are just a bonus/incentive to not throw cats into the meat grinder. When it becomes the bulk of what you're doing, you need to downsize to 20 cats or lessyou can just pick random cats and hit go (I suspect most people did this once they get deep into chapter 2/3)A real flaw with the game is that money is fucking useless and there's not enough new things to see to carry replaying everything in harder difficulties multiple times
>>743382149NTA but I disagree on the power snowballing part. The fact even if you have an absolutely cracked cat thanks to your breeding and use of eugenics usually means you are playing the game right. If you're able to destroy a boss that means you understand the game and know how to create insane builds. I for one enjoy games that let me feel powerful and atomize things in my way if I understand the mechanics.
>>743393728Do you see the size of it?
>>743394064See, when I get an OP run in Isaac it feels earned, but in Mewgenics it feels hollow because the cats and items I bring in already dictate a lot of my starting power. I really dislike units not starting from scratch as a baseline. It feels far too easy to break the game with hunter synergies for example.>>743393916I spent a decent chunk of time doing sidequests and stuff before deep diving into chapter 2 and burnt out hard. I had lots of furniture and cats but negating the negative mutations and inbreeding made me despise the game eventually. And finishing a successful run and coming back with tons of loot was exhausting to go through, it felt more like I was being punished than rewarded for my run.I feel like if the game had been a long campaign through ch1-3 (like Xcom?) without the multiple chapter retreads and items were only for that campaign I would have liked it more. That or just not had vertical cat progression at all, I'd rather have 4 random strays the game chooses for me and the game be balanced around that instead. I enjoy Breach and Slice & Dice far more for turn-based roguelites personally and they feel far more thoughtfully considered despite both having less "content" and synergies.
What if the DLC added a supercat class?
Was Dr Beanies justified in his actions?
>>743396609yes. fuck that holy faggot for taking stacy

>>743390265>>743391274Aren't they deliberate to parallel enemies in The Core? Also look at backgrounds in The Core and you'll see something similar to The Mother there

>>743382149Nice diary entry but it's easily GOTY, you just need to git gud
>>743381181You show up to HIS houseYou kill HIS catsTry to nuke HIS son.I'd be pissed off too. It's a House battle but you're the fucking invader. It's why he wears a Retired crown.
>>743396573DLC CLasses I would love>Parasite focus class>Kaiju class with an emphasis on a Large size>Gunslinger (Soft confirmed?)>???I cant think of a good fourth class addition but Im sure a lot can be done.
Guillotina sitting on my face should be in the DLC
>>743401838>class that benefits from parasites/disordersGiven that you eventually get parasites and syringes from Frank and Grinder respectively. that could have some potential
>>743401838>Beastmaster classBasic attack is a whip that makes allied familiars attack the target if it is an enemy.Has an innate weapon, the Leash, that instantly allies a non-boss enemy, usable once per battle. The last unit to be hit by it becomes the Beastmaster's Pet, and the unit will be carried between battles until another unit is hit by it.Abilities revolve around controlling the AI behavior of allied and enemy units alike. Does not have any abilities that summon familiars, but can get extra uses of its Leash to recruit more.>Scientist classHas a syringe as a basic attack, which hurts enemies when empty, and heals+buffs allies when it is full (with enemy blood). Can manipulate the disorders of its teammates, such as giving special temporary/permanent disorders, negating the negative effects of disorders, and even doubling the effects of disorders. Can also give enemies negative disorders. Maybe can also give special temporary mutations with strong effects.
Console release when?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWVsMAVhy3852:17, Edmund says people complaining about house gameplay will have a new way to play
>>743407606Tink sex minigame?
>>743409813Tink is a happily married STRAIGHT man with a loving WIFE
so we obviously are getting gunslinger and gambler as dlc collars, but what else should be added?undead? Kaiju? outer space? demonologist?
>>743383357I hallucinate a gatekeeper that tears her soul from her body, instantly killing her.
>>743410515Chemist, whips up potions that provide buffs/debuffs and spawn little slime familiars
>>743410515>GamblerWhat is this LARP, gambler is Thief and Jester already.Also these were the leaked class collars.
>>743383357Get down on my knees
I really hope the DLC adds a way to play without having to deal with the house breeding shit and equipment sorting.That's the main thing keeping this game from being amazing and easy to replay.
>>743411779But anon, it's le shit on purpose to make you feel like a crazy cat lady. Don't you like shit on purpose mechanics?
>isaac's mom actually was the literal in-real-world antichrist
>>743411779Maybe you can draft some cats from Butch per what >>743407606 implies.
i need 4p co-op where each player controls 1 cator even just a daily run mode would be fine tooi beg
I bought mewgenics during the sale but there's supposed to be some sort of small content "soon". I don't know what small or soon actually meansWould it be worth waiting for the update before playing? I don't know if it's those extra classes mentioned in this thread or just some fixes or something
>>743414815In like a fucking year
>>743413428Isn't that actually possible with mods even now?
>>743415723Guess I'll just start playing it soon then
Heavy pussy here
>>743383357Rape
the amount of grinding you have to do is insane given how long runs take. shelved the game before fighting god on impossible and i still haven't given the grinder enough dead cats
>there's a 13 hours old post on /v/ with less than 60 repliesThis site is so dead

I wish DLC would redeem Beanie
>>743417227That's because the janny trannies keep actively hunting and deleting all video game discussion while keeping the bait threads and twitter screencaps alive.
>>743414815Play it now. The incoming content expects you to have cleared the game Beginner tips:>do short runs to get veteran cats to donate to Frank for more rooms>the early game has more need for healing, late game you learn to minimize damage taken. Cleric is good early curutch for survival but falls off later>check enemy movement and attack range>Fighter and Hunter have good skill pool, I recommend bringing both each run early because if you get for example Scatter Shot for Hunter and get to breed it to your kittens, it will decimate large crowds and big targets like bosses
