Why does Yea Forums hate Dead Cells but love Hollow Knight and Darkest Dungeon?

Dead Cells looks great and full of options at first but you quickly realize how samey everything is.

After a few successful runs and beating it at max difficulty there's nothing to bring you back.

They quickly pushed a small balance patch that makes the difficulty a lot more doable now and fixed one of the main complaints people had with 1.1 regarding the teleporting elites being unfair.
Well beating the max difficulty is pretty much what beating the game is supposed to be, the new 1.2 update added 2 new areas and another difficulty that has a new ending if you beat it.

This, the devs have been obsessed with cranking up the difficulty through the most artificial means possible. Its been this way for a while.

This, the game is dogshit.
>roll
>roll
>roll
>attack

the grinding for weapons is a slog
the new update is pretty cool though but overall the game runs out of content fast, which is a shame because i love the controls and weapon variety

I find DC to be boring after a while. Also Hollow Knight is not a roguelite and this helps. Too many indie roguelites.

The only artificial thing was the elites in 1.1 being bullshit since they could unfairly hit you with their abilities or teleport into your face and kill you instantly.
The patch they released today fixes those issues however, instead the higher difficulties are more difficult due to them having added new enemy types that are harder to deal with due to their different behaviors, not because they made existing enemies unfair to deal with.

You can literally describe every game with dodging and attacking by just saying it's spamming dodge and attack.

The game is genuinely the worst execution of a genre mishmash I can think of
>hey, lets make a metroidvania
>with soulless procedural level generation instead of an intricate hand made world
>also you don't need to discover any special powers to traverse the world, except for the one you get after the tutorial boss
>it'll also take inspiration from dark souls
>but only superficially, because touting your game's difficulty is hip nowadays. No satisfying weighty combat, rpg mechanics, or anything like that
>it'll also be a """roguelike"""
>but with permanent character progression so permadeath means nothing, and to induce an artificial challenge by forcing the player to upgrade their numbers before they can beat the next boss

Dead Cells is as much a metroidvania as Dark Souls is a platformer desu.
The game pretty much has the same "roll/shield and attack" loop that souls has, being inspired by something doesn't mean you have to literally be the same game and have the same kind of experience as said game. You can clearly see that the Dead Cells combat took inspiration from souls.
Pretty much every modern roguelike has permanent character progression, many in way worse ways than Dead Cells. Outside of the legendary forge (which I agree is just grind padding) the other upgrades aren't essential to beat the game.

I'm just gonna ignore OP being a retard and ask. I played Dead Cells and got to the first boss on the rooftops (I assume that's the first boss), and I'm kind of shocked at how little damage I'm doing. Like, it'd take be 15 minutes to fight this nigger. What am I doing wrong?

Hollow Friends and Dead Cell Friends are like Kirbyfriends and Metroidfriends, saying they hate each other is moth propaganda and deserves the zapper for even suggesting otherwise

Damage you get from stats is exponential, you should focus in one stat instead of spreading them evenly.

>Exponential
So a plus 200% boost increases the final product of the 100% boost and not the base? Damn.

Two are pleasing to look at and the other is generic, hideous pixelshit trash.

Dead Cells is waaaaaay better than Darkest Dungeon.

Lmao, no.

>generic pixelshit
The player and all the enemies are 3d models tho, only the levels and NPCs are actual pixelart.

That's opinion, man. Some people like fast scoot loot and spoot and some people like "sand castle on a violent beach" resource sims.

Yeah

I feel like the devs hate their players, is this some french kind of thing?

Isn't Dead Cells boring and monotonous???
