Great game.

That's just part of the rogueshite experience.

This shit was way too long, I had to give up after thirty hours because it obviously was a huge waste of time

>>715176669
I've never played a rougelite that forces you to finish playing until the run is over or else lose progress.

You're asking for it by playing a rogue-whatever. This was also a problem in that old lady shooter on the PS5.

Is blue prince actually challenging or is it babbys first puzzle game compared to games like talos principle and the witness?

>>715176962
is rogue a roguelike?

>>715177084
Challenging? No. Fun, maybe for the first 2-3 hours but only because of the secrets. The problem is that it's entirely based on RNG. You can know exactly what you need, exactly what to do, and exactly how to do it, but if you just get shit RNG there is literally nothing you can do about it. The more you play, there are upgrades that kinda negate some of the RNG aspects but at the end of the day you're still at the mercy of the RNGfaggotry. I made it to room 46 but quit after I opened like the 2nd of the 6 doors after that. I just couldn't bother with the RNGfaggotry after that and then I started playing other shit like Balatro.

>>715176567 (OP)
that's what you get for playing commie propaganda

>we made a walking simulator...
>but we also made the levels random
>and slapped cardshit on top
>why? Because it's a ROGUELITE walking simulator!
Yeah, fuck off.

>two pseuds on youtube talking about how good this game is
>talking about their favorite puzzles
>every single one of them has something about "so the thing in the mailroom tells you-" or "the library book says that-"
his is a game for retards to feel smart about because they think being told "count the pink sheep" means they're smart for figuring it out
absolute trash "game" on top of a coinflip simulator
>oh you need to go north? locked door. its ok we spawned one whole key so far that you already needed lmao gottem.

>>715176567 (OP)
This happened to me on my "Best run" and it absolutely pissed me off and haven't touched it ever since. I usually do not get mad at vidya, but this shit managed to do it.

>>715178130
Yeah, it's dogshit and calling it a "puzzle game" is a insult. Fags like this should just play Opus Magnum or Golden Idol for a real puzzle game.

>>715176864
Isaac saves your progress, dumbass

Games that don't have some backup shit in place should have their devs drug into the street and shat on by indians.
>7DTD
>Crash
>53 hour savefile/world gone
>Backed up manually only lost like 1:30:00 instead
All games should cycle saves for backup, and have a quit/resume save feature if there's any chance of playing over like 30 minutes at a time
this shit is 101 as fuck

Better you give up now than later, this game sucks dick. Guy could have just had a good large scale puzzle game if he didn't need to stick it full of RNGshit.

>>715179157
heh
>psued cant into metaprogression
have you tried playing for 9 hours so you unlock the ability to start with two keys you PLEB no you DIDNT because then you'd know thats how you solve the problem of 18 locked rooms and only 3 key spawns you IDIOT
HEH
try a game more your speed like kirby eats a pancake.

The fact that anyone at all took this bullshit seriously demonstrates just how low critical thinking has sunk among gaming pseuds. People really wanted to posture like they “get” this difficult game when in reality it’s a piss easy puzzle game artificially lengthened by RNG. Total fucking waste of time.

>>715176567 (OP)
This game sucks shit. It did you a favor. Now there's no sunk costs so you can uninstall this garbage

>>715177148
Yes, Rogue is the granddaddy of all this roguelike/roguelite nonsense. Turn-based, permadeath, dungeon crawling, ASCII graphics-it walked so your favorite indie dev’s procedurally generated depression simulator could run.

>1 hour run
Nigger what are you doing that takes you that long?

>>715184407
not restarting 3 rooms in because lmao nokeysnogems bathroomonly?

Something similar happened to me. I was on a slot machine at the very end of my run and the game got stuck in it. I couldn't get out or anything. Lost a lot of progress on that day. This was months ago and I haven't come back since.

Still my second favorite game of the year. While it lasted, it lasted good. I should just go look at the puzzles and envelopes I missed.

Has the devs said anything about whether they're adding the ability to quit and save mid run? Not buying this shit until then.

>>715187948
They did.

i think its another puzzle, maybe some sort of ARG

>>715177084
It's more like a point and click adventure, where you need to bring THING to LOCATION, but getting the thing is up to RNG and getting to the location is also RNG, so having them both in one run is double RNG. Of course there are ways to mitigate the RNG...that also involve RNG.
There are some Myst-like puzzle boxes, but they are very simple.
There are some puzzle-book type problems. Some are basic and others can be frustrating.
The game loves to reward you completing puzzles with a solution to another puzzle.

>>715176567 (OP)
I love spending two hours building something to lose it all to a locked door at rank 8. so much fun!

>>715187948
I think the game was simply not designed to be able to load from a save state. Otherwise it would have already been in, because save-and-quit is such a basic feature already present in tons of other games like this.

>>715176567 (OP)
>have the solution to a puzzle
>can't solve it because of shit rng
It was okay for before the first credits, but after that it becomes insufferable

This game does one thing right, having secrets hidden in plain sight that you slowly uncover over time that become more and more abstract, until the point that makes you feel like some sort of giga-IQ super genius that's unraveling the code of the Matrix.
In fact that's literally one of the last puzzles, you finding a door to enter the Matrix lmao

But the RNG is so dogshit, the game gives you absolutely no mercy. I spent hours of failed runs knowing how to reach Room 46 but being unable to do so, because the game just randomly decided I wasn't allowed to win.
At one point I lost my last step descending the drained fountain with basement key in hand, and just fell asleep walking down the stairwell.
I like to imagine my poor little Simon tumbled all the way down the stairs and mercifully passed away, so he didn't have to play this dogshit RNG game anymore.

>>715177084
It's good after you learn how to manage your resources and what rooms you should draft depending on your position/rotation/house layout + you have some permanent bonuses. But then after a dozen hours or so you'll get to the point where you no longer unlock or learn new things with each playthrough and have to roll for some specific rooms to progress. Playthroughs also become a lot longer here. Depending on your patience you'll want to drop the game some time after reaching this stage.

>>715189757
>>715190383
you mean you don't like being at the mercy of RNG? starting over again and again until you get the pump room/lab/boiler room on the same map? what's not fun about that?

>>715178130
the puzzles themselves arent particularly hard. the "difficulty" comes from recognizing clues in order to understand what the puzzle even IS and how to solve it, and then finding and assembling all of the necessary clues. further difficulty is how spread out certain pieces/clues/solutions even are, and the rng elements of accessing them.

it has a lot of layers and actually builds into a pretty nice game. but adhd retards like you cant comprehend a situation where you need to keep notes/screenshots, and where a puzzle isnt something that you simply move pieces of something around. you're probably the sort that thinks ocarina of time is the greatest game ever, and the "puzzles" in that game are superb. its the biggest self tell.

Playing this rn and the rng is fucking me over.
It's way too long to have this kind of gameplay

The game's lack of a save feature is contributing to carbon pollution.
Not having a save feature means I'm forced to keep the game running whenever I leave my computer.
Right now my computer is drawing 200W running the game. I'm about to head to bed. That means when I wake up 8 hours later the game will have consumed 1600Wh of electricity. This could've been 0 if it had a save feature.
>but sleep mode
Not reliable. I've had games crash out on resuming from sleep.

>>715176567 (OP)
There needs to be a mod that just completely removes the rng

>>715176567 (OP)
after a couple hours I couldn't take it anymore and started playing the game at 3x speed

>>715190975
Holy shit, seeing the absolute brainlets on /v/ makes me feel like I should seek higher ground. There's absolutely no reason to be around you shoe-on-head morons. Skill fucking issue. Aside from the fact that the boiler room conjoined with the pump room sets a semi-permanent water level (which is to say, it stays where you put it until you change it either later in that run or another run), you ONLY need the pump room near the boiler room once to suck the water into the auxiliary overflow tank. Once that's full, 99% of the pump room related puzzles can be solved without power.

this, but also just fucking going with infinite keys, gems and rerolls once you've gotten past a certain point and only have a few things left to complete
I've never felt less guilty for straight up cheating, this games shtick it's fucking awful past a point.

>The Witness puzzle design
Slowly learn the rules for each puzzle type as they gradually increase in difficulty and solve puzzles with multiple rulesets that challenge previous assumptions you've made.
>Blue Prince puzzle design
Hey um there's this place you need to go to, here's exactly how you solve the puzzle. Also you need to get lucky and pull the observatory and the courtyard and get 6 keys and 13 gems and even though you already know how to solve it it's going to take 1 hour of setup to meet the conditions or 2 hours or runs to get lucky
Do we owe Jonathan Blow an apology?
