I hate the term Metroidvania
It’s like calling other FPS's Wolfendooms
die teen
implying implications.
What even is this thread's premise? That any of that is bad by association? If so, great discussion.
>open Yea Forums
>see wojak thread
every time
>gameplay loop
you mean like an arcade loop? what does that mean exactly?
>Wolfendooms
I'll start using that.
Do you have a better name for the genre? "Adventure game" seems like it'd be a bit broad.
adventurous singleplayer survival games?

Never change, retard.
You could only have all of those in one game if it's a roguelite instead
Fuck off back to R.eddit then. We don't want you here.

sex is great, you should considering having sex.
It is, since every single wojak post can be categorized as extremely low quality
post more
So this face means "I have no actual complaints, I just wanna complain", right?
>people use terms to describe things
>gameplay loop
This is fucking retarded. Who invented this phrase?
I think it comes from outside gaming. Like the OODA loop or SBAR loop or someshit.
Than someone decided to use technical jargon in his vidya related talk to sound sophisticated.
Also its shorter than saying, that shit you do over and over again.
FPS games were literally called Doom clones until the term FPS caught on.
>"you can date the alien girl!"
AAAH IM WOJAKKING OFF AAAAAH
it's a subgenre of the platformer genre, it isn't a broad term like FPS
its a silly name but unless you can think of something succinct and better sounding gtfo
>gameplay loop
What the fuck does that even mean
>"gameplay loop"
this I can agree with
Never ceases to amaze me how posting a nerd on one of the most autistic boards is still a way to discredit anything.
Yeah just wait till it's over used and the market is oversaturated with them
Actually it means the opposite. It is a valid description for a gameplay that has very good pacing. For example Persona 5 or Fire Emblem Three houses, games that have a good gameplay loop of battling and then the social part of the game, causing you to be able to play much longer before needing a break.

Gameplay loop is a legitimate game design term
Seriously, why the fuck do video games attract so many people who dont understand their own hobby? You barely see this with other hobbies and interests
A fisher has a respect for how his rod is made, a car enthusiast knows what goes into constructing that impressive machine
But people who play video games 99% of the time have never opened maya, zbrush, unity, or fucking anything. Bunch of drooling manchildren that think developers wave magic wands all day to make things happen. Go try to make a small game and reflect on a newfound appreciation for terminology that efficiently communicates what you want to do with your game.
Or just greentext everything I just wrote and put it next to a soijack you fucking doofus
You niggers keep bitching about "metroidvania" but none of you have managed to come up with an appropriate substitute term for it.

There are a few definitions you can go by, but in the simplest term it refers to the repetitive mechanics the player is expected or intended to perform in a game.
A simple example is in an FPS, [target appears] -> [aim at target] -> [fire at target] -> [target dies]
The term is usually used by devs and journos when talking about a broader loop though, an example being World of Warcraft. [enter new zone] -> [pick up quests at a hub] -> [go out and complete the quests] -> [return to the hub and turn your quests in for a reward]
It's pronounced voyak

>'the zone'
Metroidlike. We already have a genre called Roguelike and it works just fine
Nuhhh uhh big words bad, i only know how to communicate through wojaks!!!

doesn't convey that there will be enemies/combat
>survival
based retard
Who are you quoting OP?
>I posted based ampharos guys give me upvotes!!!!!
based fuck soulless w*j*cks
1. You can't have a fucking word for every single aspect of the game
2. Most platformers have enemies
You 100% read OP’s post and are just upset he’s making fun of you.
Does platfromer convey that there will be enemies/combat? Does RPG convey that there will be enemies/combat? based retard
