Okay, good, that wasn’t just me. Had to read it 3 times… anyway, bring it! Loved postal 2, stupid as it may be.

Hell yeah! Played those games so much. I remember even duelling online with a classmate. Was great

Nah, that wouldn’t be enough to differentiate PoE to hzd, imo. It’s like comparing Max Payne to CSGO. Or I dunno… rocket league to Football manager… or Mario party to street figther… trying to cover as many bases here to cover the games that you might be more familiar with. xD. Point is, in both games you get a character which you level up and customize by doing quests and killing mobs, but that’s pretty much where the similarities end, as far as the gameplay, mechanics and goals of fans go.

And for the record, despite this also being called an arpg, it’ll be very different from both PoE and hzd. ARPG seems to be as vague as “driving game” or “shooter”.

Survivorslike is just one option, auto shooter is the same thing and doesn’t use vampire survivors’ name.

And well, in this case, I just saw op say that this game was gonna be an arpg and because I play a lot of PoE, last epoch, etc. I was expecting something in that vein. Then I open the link and I see 2 seconds of something that looks more like hades or god of war and I was disappointed. So if me wishing we had better terms for various genres makes me a prescriptivist, I guess I am one, in this case.

Also tdggrpg is too complicated of a subgenre name, I feel xD

We need more subgenres! What do you call breath of the wild or the spiderman games in that case?

Imo god of war/ horizon are aptly named because they’re action focused RPGs.

We need new, better name for the “diablo-like” games, however. I feel like those are different enough that there’s not enough “rpg” left in them beyond the character building elements. Survivorslike aren’t RPGs despite them having character leveling and stuff so why should diablo 4 /Poe be called rpgs?

We’ve only seen 2 seconds of gameplay, how can you be sure it’s not a rogue like or something? Did I miss it being stated somewhere or you’re just guessing?

Also, this comment reminded me how ridiculous I find it that we have genres such as “metroidvania” and “souls like”, “auto shooter” , “survivors like” and etc. Yet we can’t come up with subgenre names other than arpg which can describe everything from Bastion, to Horizon Zero down, to path of exile. What’s up with that?

Why not? Praise is not a finite resource. One person getting praise doesn’t mean another is gonna get less. Sure, those doctors you’re talking about are getting less praise than her, but they’re also attracting less attention and fewer donations. Everyone has their role to play and getting bogged down on who’s doing more and who’s doing better only detracts from the work.

Sure we do. We even have a word for it… well, words, really. Positive reinforcement.

Most of the people that appear in Witcher trailers are just random victims or passer-bys.

This video was split into 2, in the other half we learn that the merchant told ciri that he was transporting salt. And that was a chest full of coins.

So just a stupid IGN decision, not your fault nor some lore that you’re unaware of.

Maybe I’m crazy or something but when I hear about a 22 year old that’s putting her life in danger(their boat was already attacked by drones and it wasn’t even near Gaza yet) or sleeping outside of some building or spending most of her time protesting for some cause or another, I don’t hear “spoiled” or “influencer” or anything of that sort. Because I happen to work in an industry where there’s tons of those people. And believe me, spoiled 22 year olds are having fun in clubs and in fancy hotels. Compare Greta’s Instagram with that of any other famous people. Or just search “Greta car” or “hotel” or “restaurant” or try to find any paparazzi pic of her doing anything fun, cause I couldn’t find any.

Maybe she’s not treating kids with lost limbs, but she’s only 22, where was this doctor when they were 22, do you think? Safe in school, I imagine… And Greta’s been doing this for 7 years already. I don’t understand how this doesn’t sound insane to you people. There’s 30 year olds out there with shorter resumes.

And in the end all that doesn’t even matter. What matters is that she’s trying to do something positive, right? And despite that, there’s always people complaining and moaning. Because it’s never enough for you people. And you always give other people as better examples. And it’s never another kid, is it? I’d like one of you to show me a 22 year old that has done more for the world. The closest I could find is Param Jaggi and his algae mobile…but 15 years later the thing seems to be stuck in the promising invention phase.

Dunno, feels like people are letting perfect get in the way of good. What’s the point of bringing down people doing good things? Do better or let them do their thing, doesn’t cost you anything to do the latter, does it?

Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize only activism in person works. My bad. Oh, wait… she does that too… anyway, I’m done with you, I suggest your seek help, it can’t possibly be healthy to need to put others down to feel better about yourself. And you think I’m the angry one, hahaha, funny.

Haha. Jesus, the amount of people in these threads that NEED to believe that she’s useless and a bad person is insane. Whatever lets you sleep at night, I guess.

There isn’t one? Are you joking? What is This then? 1.2 million donated by the foundation as of 2022. Money from awards, prizes and donations. That’s nothing, right?

What about This one? Which claims “started in 2018, when 15-year old Greta Thunberg began a school strike for climate.” They gathered millions of people for strikes and they name her as inspiration. But that’s nothing as well, right?

Man, if only everyone in the world was as useless as Greta…

"What a silly thing to say.

I’m certain that pretty much every person in ukrain or gaza or a bunch if other places has more demonstrated bravery than Greta. "

Are you claiming that there’s only 20k people in Ukraine? Cause otherwise, yeah, you did claim that.

Also, yes, they’re brave no question about that. But they’re protecting their own. Greta is helping others. I’d argue that that’s braver.

Oh, damn. I didn’t know 20k out of 20 million is “most people”. That changes things.

Ever heard of strength in numbers? You can’t organize shit without people. And these “celebrities” bring people. But sure, you go ahead and organize your friends and she’ll do what she thinks is best too. As long as Gaza gets help, doesn’t really matter who did the most.

The point of activism is to get more people to talk about issues and to bring about change. There’s billions of us. A single person will never be credited with changing the public opinion on anything, that’s not how things work. It’s unfair to ask what she has accomplished because she’s not in a line of work where results are immediate and obvious. And she’s only 22. Millions of people are talking about climate change and other issues thanks to her. Can you name a more (positive)influential person?

Yes, she’s successful. How many activists can you name over the top of your head? I’m sure the list is short. And most of them don’t get as many headlines written nor do they gather the same amount of people.

Do you want someone to go around the world and ask each person who inspired them to be better humans? Do you want to ask politicians why they pass each bill and which protest forced them to finally take action? Or how do you propose we quantify her success if not by number of followers and articles written?

What makes you say that? She’s choosing to put her life in danger for others when she doesn’t have to. How is that less brave than simply being born in a certain place?

All 4 games are great. And I do enjoy the one and done deal of the first 2. I don’t mind finishing a game in a few hours. If anything, that’s actually a bonus nowadays. Most games I stop halfway and never finish.

However, if you were to just focus on finishing the main story and consider that enough, I think you could finish Hades just as quickly. So to me Hades is just the same kind of game but with more replayability.
