Topic | What is the longest a game has waited for a sequel? |
azuarc 05/19/24 9:24:45 AM #28 | Colossal Cave Adventure feels like the kind of game that would have had a sequel at some point along the way. I'm amazed it never did. And this version's being developed by Roberta Williams?
Combat Two sounds like the king of vaporware. I'm surprised with all the junk Atari produced in the mid-80s that they wouldn't follow through with the sequel to one of their most signature games. (For home console, I mean.) So just when I thought 37 might take it, y'all go and drop two titles that are a decade longer. For a second, I thought Pong -> Qomp might surpass that at 49, but there are already official pong sequels. Quite a few, actually. They just aren't called "Pong 2." What, then, is the oldest game to never receive a sequel? And do we try to preclude games with blatantly derivative titles from other companies, or is that too nebulous to define? (Spacewar! was cloned numerous times throughout the 70s, i.e., including an Atari game legit called Space War.) --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. |

azuarc 05/17/24 4:52:08 PM #35 | Having 4 rolls (or 3 depending on interpretation) in CD for an on-set CR circlet if always good considering you're trying to hit exactly one substat. Even if you start with 4 subs, assuming equal distribution, that will only happen 0.97% of the time. And even less for a 3-stat artifact. Also, I generally think of CD rolls as wanting to average at least 7%, which this one does np, so you didn't low-roll them, either.

azuarc 05/16/24 5:43:35 PM #25 | Sara is really awkward to use, especially before C2, however her whole thing is that she applies a lesser version of Bennett's buff. Because it only lasts for 4 seconds, though, you really need to immediately use it on one quick strike ability or something that snapshots. Raiden is currently the only electro character who really has a hypercarry team that would justify this usage. And, of course, it has to be electro because she provides a damage bonus and, at C6, a crit damage buff to electro.
