Spelunky is a roguelike with procedural generation and it's a Top 10 all-time great so shush ya mouths

Spelunky is a decent podcast game

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Spelunky is good of course, but it's no Binding of Isaac.

How did I miss this?

Spelunky is a roguelike with procedural generation and it's a Top 10 all-time great so shush ya mouths

The problem is that there are too many roguelike games out there right now and to get to the good stuff to a roguelike game means often times you'll have to spend hours upon hours.

 

[Xater]

How did I miss this?

That's an excellent question. I really don't know how one can miss this feature.

 

[Death Metalist]

How did I miss this?

It's a multilayered side-op(many people missed this entire portion of the game or got it way late in the game).

What is going on here?

edit: Ok, makes more sense as I watch further.

Compared to Spelunky, Binding of Isaac is kinda alright. Spelunky is the best game though so it's not entirely fair.

 

[KillerDark]

Spelunky is good of course, but it's no Binding of Isaac.

Agreed. I enjoyed Spelunky but I like the "rogue like" mechanics of BoI way more.

 

[funkystudent]

Could never get past Binding of Isaac's 4 way aiming.

I did 1 full run and that was that.


Spelunky the GOAT indie game. It is still so far ahead of everything else.

 

[kiguel182]

I could never get into Spelunky. I don't get it.

 

[pizzacat]

Gungeon tho

 

[Hindl]

I could never get into Spelunky. I don't get it.

Yeah me either. Maybe I need to give it another shot

 

[Death Metalist]

Gungeon tho

Indeed. Now that I've done most of what that game had to offer, I had to take a long ass break from roguelikes. Maybe in a year or two I'll jump back in to what's considered the new & great roguelike game.

 

[kiguel182]

This Total Stealth missions are a bitch.

 

[ev0]

Why doesn't GBWest do meetups instead of UPF? Stream the party and stuff

Yes, we definitely need what amounts to PAX every Friday with awkward fans asking awkward questions, or maybe everyone drinking and not paying any attention to the camera. Or I dont need fan weirdos playing games. I have Twitch for that.
(nothing wrong with meetups in general though)

 

[oti]

Gungeon tho

I don't like roguelikes with no progression at all. Failed runs feel like wasted time.

 

[kiguel182]

The only rogue like I actually beat the boss in was Rogue Legacy exactly because it had tons of permanent upgrades and most runs felt like I was getting closer to the goal.

Wasted runs killed many games for me.

Doesn't have to be q&a or ignore the camera type stuff. Contests? GB vs Fans? Pretty much anything that isn't UPF

 

[Catvoca]

I could never get into Spelunky but I enjoyed Spelunkin' with Scoops a lot when that was around.

 

[Salarians]

is Azure Dreams a roguelike? is Dead Rising? those are the only roguelikes (roguelikelikes?) I think I've enjoyed

 

[Dangansona]

It was not great.

No way is the Bombcast ever, especially this week, better than the Beastcast.

I spent like 300 hours with Spelunky but I still think it's only alright. It's just a great podcast game

 

[Fried Food]

Important if true is better than any bombcast in recent memory

Same. I love Rogue Legacy! Too bad their next game is a brawler.... Why.

Azure Dreams. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. I got that game as a gift when I was a kid from an uncle who didn't know anything about games. I didn't understand anything in that game and I always died on the second or third floor. I remember seeing my monster being killed and being shocked how the game didn't just end there. I should watch a playthrough of that game sometimes.

It's probably more of a run of the mill dungeon crawler as IIRC it has a lot of kept progression.

 

[KillerDark]

Man, Azure Dreams was great. I barely remember the mechanics but I enjoyed that game a lot. That was probably my second experience with them if it counts... I think my first would be the 100 floor dungeon in Lufia 2?

Azure Dreams is totally a roguelike.

Agreed. I can totally see the appeal for roguelikes but most aren't from me aside from a few ones.

I love roguelites because you're still getting closer to the goal every time. Wish there were more games like Rogue Legacy.

If any of you want a space roguelite, look into EVERSPACE. It's in Early Access, but it's basically the same routine of Rogue Legacy. Die, keep your money, get permanent upgrades, rinse and repeat.

Burger King now has a Froot Loops milkshake. If this was 10 years ago, Jeff and Ryan would be reviewing that shit on a podcast right this moment.
