@onemanarmyy: There are still dungeon crawlers a-la Wizardry like that. Legend of Grimrock. Etryian Odyssey. Vaporum. Labyrinth of Refrain. Conglomerate 451. Class of Heroes. The Dark Spire. Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi. Heroes of a Broken Land.

It being a relic of the 90's is it doing it right. They tried to update it with Toejam & Earl 3: Mission to Earth. It sucked.

I agree with you that it is more likely to eventually be canceled than released, but if they do release it, I see them trying to update it to modern trends because the stakes in movies is way different than a Kickstarted indie game and it will also suck.

I decided to try to see if Metal Gear Survive was actually bad or if I just judged the genre shift too harshly the last time that I played it. I put 5 hours into it and I just couldn't care enough to keep going. It's not a great game but also I am so tired of survival crafting games in general that I'm pretty sure I'm never going to play another survival crafting game again. I'm aware that this isn't a good representative of the genre, but it is, however, an encapsulation of how spread thin the genre has become.

I enjoy new IPs, but companies of course hate risk. It's one thing if a game series explores new ideas that are somewhat related to the mechanics of the prior, but I have been very annoyed at games that are clearly unrelated -- with the prior's assets pasted on to try and milk the popularity of the existing franchise, and that annoys me.

NBA 2k16's career mode has stat growth greatly knee-capped to encourage microtransaction purchases and it's disgusting. I wanted to like that game but it was infuriating for that reason.

I've owned Arcanum since launch and I adore the game but it certainly has its flaws. I just wish that the fan patches were updated because they are buggy with the current versions available for purchase. It still has a very unique and engaging setting with game mechanics that were very advanced for their time; building off of the Fallout series (Same head devs).

Each SaGa game is pretty much an experiment and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Unlimited doesn't. Good music, though.

I rented Quest 64 at launch and I remember being very disappointed, as a long time RPG fan with access to better RPGs on Playstation. I haven't played it since and maybe I'll enjoy it more with less expectations.

I'm not super knowledgeable but it's gonna probably blow your mind that, more recently, fighting games use predictive AI to mask lag.

Vampire Survivors is more like Crimsonland than a Musou.
