Darkest Dungeon

Let me think about it.

Coming from a background of boardgames where nearly every mechanic was a RNG, mostly open for all to see, the idea of it being used is not the problem. I would assume every single program uses what boils down to an RNG at its base depending on the algorithms it uses. Some are extremely complex while others are merely a 1d6. Where the trouble comes in for me is when every bit of skill is superseded by a RNG. i.e. The results affect player 1d4 instead of player X because of Y and Z. Again, I don't have DD but a friend of mine, whos opinion I appreciate, also gave a negative review after many hours of play because of too much reliance on a chaotic and overbearing RNG..

I'm supportive :P

you ever decide on your October Halloween scary game yet......Skyrim don't count, no matter how gothic.

I tried out Darkwood and it trapped me, is featured in the next installment of What is Gus Playing next week.

Now I have started Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone and am loving life again. And next week Shadow of War comes out 🤓

Nice feature, Darkwoods is on my list. Top down games have no creep value for me, need to be FP or maybe TP. Looking forward to your Darkwood opinion, i'm on the fence.

[Gusington]

I can almost guarantee you that Darkwood will shiver your timbers, never mind it's too down perspective. You may pee a little.

I've been curious about Darkwood. If Gus is that enthusiastic, I think it's only a matter of time before I grab it.

I'm very early into Darkwood but can confirm Gus' sentiment. My timbers were noticeably shivered.

Any pee?

[MC]

Urine for a real surprise!

I'm not sure because I'm wearing my poise pad
