What went so horribly wrong?
Risk of Rain 2
For me personally the game is too sweaty even on rainstorm and don't enjoy it much.
not much
>people who played it for an hour and then never touched it again leaving positive reviews
>actual playerbase evaporated and abandoned the game
perfect example of why steam reviews are just as worthless as gayming journalists paid shill reviews
Surprise, people came back for the update, update wasn't that great, people left
so filter the reviews to however you like you stupid frog retard
Does Zig Forums even do 10-mans or anything anymore
i played it earlier this year and got bored with it and felt too dependent on luck with good items but maybe i was just too bad or wasn't getting something
i'm pirating it
I prefer 1 no idea what it is but why are items so much harder to find in 2? Its really annoying i prefer 2D honestly.
Completely dropped the ball with a rushed, incomplete "1.0 full release". Of course their first mistake was taking Gearbox's turgid, diseased cock as if they even needed it. Did they even do anything after the update to "fix" Mithrix, besides make another move for more money with that Stadia horse shit
>not having friends to plat it with
never had a random that didnt immediately pick command artifact before getting booted.
I stopped playing because Spelunky 2 came out
>EA since March 27, 2019
>Game finally releases after people have been playing it for well over a year
>People stop playing as newer games come out or just wait around for more updates
N-NANI HOW COULD THIS BE I THOUGHT YOU COULD ONLY PLAY ONE VIDEOGAME FOREVER
It's okay but kind of plagued by questionable design decisions. Why is the last level a mostly empty 5 minute corridor?
>Hotpoo rushed the game out
>Balancing is complete shit
>Most items are really fucking boring by design
>Not enough level variety
>No official mod-support so the community can't fix this shit themselves
A lot of these problems could have been ironed out if they had kept the game in early access for atleast another year, instead they partnered up with gearbox and pushed the game out of alpha and straight ''retail'' before they had even added all of the extra stuff that they had already planned to release months before (Skills 2.0 comes to mind)
All playthroughs of the game are way too similar.
>make a 3d action game based around items
>90% of items are completely fucking boring passives
bravo, hotpoo! absolutely genius design!
I miss the risky threads we used to have here. :(
>No steam workshop mod support
>No alt skills on half the survivors
>Last stage is shit and the final boss is even worse
Thanks Hotshit
nothing. After going back to ror1 for a bit, ror2 is better in every single way imaginable.
I still wanna see more loadouts and more characters and more levels.
You can likely blame invasive discord users prowling Zig Forums specifically for RoR threads.
I played through it today with some friends and it was fun
Hades has been in EA since last year too, and more people than ever are enjoying it and throwing around the term "Game of the Year" to boot. What now, faggot?
lack of items, every good run ends up looking exactly the same. the game would be 10 times better if they added a shitload more items with interesting effects and buffed the currently useless ones. also the characters start to feel samey after the first loop when you've got the only good items in the game and they're doing all the work for you. I look forward to coming back to this game in a year or so and hopefully they've added a lot more item variety and maybe some new levels and bosses to boot.
They’re still around on /vm/, a lot slower though
>no mod support
W h a t do you mean
Ok maybe there isn't "official" mod support but just use the r2modman launcher and you've got all the mods you'd ever want
>'ownload r2modman from thunderstore
>'reate new profile
>'ownload all the mods you want
>simple as
It ain't that hard drizzlet
New fleshed out survivors, quality of life changes, new artifacts & items

Use the RoR2 discord and they have an lfg section. Play modded or whatever even 10mans, mostly nice people

WHERE IS IT
It didn't feel roguelike anymore

>lack of enemy variety
The game was good as EA, but they sure fucked it up. I'm expecting alt skills to be added before the game is dropped.
It just came out, bitchnuggets
Guess that Noita is GOTY because many people are playing the game right now
They’ve said that they’re doing another free update which will put in the unfinished content and polish everything up and paid DLC’s with way more content than one update later on so I’d say there’s still a good chance those issues could get fixed. I hope
This they fucked up by going 3d.
Payday 2 level of fuck up.
>nearly perfect beta
