Lego is just expensive in general for these sorts of sets. Go check out the Avengers Tower or TitanicAvengers Tower seems totally fair at $500 to me. That one has like 30 minifigs, twice as many pieces as the Deku Tree, and is nearly 3x as tall for 1.66x the price. The Titanic is 9000 pieces and over 50" long, so $700 strikes me as pretty fair for that too. I wouldn't want either but tbh they strike me as much better sets that justify their higher price tags. But I'm just being a hater. --- "You're childish. What are you getting? Are you getting strawberry? Ha! That's such a childish flavor, only children eat strawberry." |

Pokemon-likes are monster collectors, just... actually what's special about it?I mean there are lots of monster collectors that aren't even RPGs, much less turn based ones with limited movesets, catching mechanics, and an emphasis on elemental strengths and weaknesses. Steam has a "creature collector" tag and tbh it's almost completely useless. Any genre can let you catch little guys and it might not even be a central game mechanic. (I also wouldn't call Doom clones and boomer shooters exactly the same thing, but the former is contained within the latter.) --- "You're childish. What are you getting? Are you getting strawberry?

| Kenri 05/21/24 12:21:27 PM #68 | Souls-like is definitely used a bit differently than other related terms. If someone asks you to recommend a Pokemon-like and you say "oh definitely Red and Blue" you've 100% missed the point of what they're asking, and I think the same goes for Zelda-like, Doom clone, etc. But Souls-like functions differently: you could absolutely say "Dark Souls is my favorite Souls-like".

I feel like there should be games that didnt age well not necessarily because of gameplay but because of characters or story. Nothing really comes to mind though.I was thinking about this last night and the ones I came up with were Bioshock, Stanley Parable, Undertale, and Spec Ops: The Line. Maybe not exactly what you meant but all of them subverted story expectations in a way that was fairly new to video games at the time, but they instantly became so beloved that lots of other games copied them. So they've aged not in the sense of being bad now but because they don't come across as original and shocking anymore. Kind of the Seinfeld problem, or maybe Evangelion if you're an anime fan. --- "You're childish. What are you getting? Are you getting strawberry? Ha!

| Kenri 05/18/24 4:33:59 PM #10 | Cassette Beasts is by far the best I've played. Coromon is probably second best, but that's pretty much just Pokemon
right down to having a lot of the same moves. I've also played Disc Creatures (pretty good, but flawed) and Monster Crown (extremely flawed, but fun if you like glitches and jank). I don't think any of them require grinding but Monster Crown and to an extent Disc Creatures are very hostile to the idea of keeping the same team all game. So you'd have to grind if you weren't willing to replace your team with stronger monsters.

I haven't really immersed myself in the Souls community ever so I really can't (or shouldn't) speak from authority on what's iconic. But when someone says a game "has combat like Dark Souls" I immediately assume that means stamina bar + dodge roll with i-frames + healing flasks.

| Kenri 05/17/24 2:41:16 PM #68 | Tbf I haven't played Lost Crown, the games I'm thinking of are e.g. Moonscars, Grime, Death's Gambit, Afterimage to an extent. Those games want to be Dark Souls sooo bad. There are clear Hollow Knight inspired games too like Lone Fungus, Haiku the Robot, and 8Doors but those don't strike me as combat-focused (but honestly I wouldn't describe HK that way either)
But we might just be seeing different influences, because to me "phase through attacks" is the iconic Dark Souls combat ability.
