I feel like the talk of difficulty is a bit overblown. I have played for 4 hours and only have like 2 things in the shop I haven't maxed out. I did the 2 major challenge rooms. I haven't unlocked all of the equipment but I have 7-8 pieces I think? Still struggling with a couple of the rune rooms, but yeah it's supposed to be hard. Also have not beaten the first boss, but my recollection of RL1 is that the bosses were extremely difficul.
I agree. The "challenges" to get the dash and the ability to hear those whispers I beat on the first run. It took me a couple hours but I now get to the boss room every time. I think Rogue Legacy is a game that rewards patience. When Jan says things like "I try to dash through people" as a carry over from Dead Cells (a game that I did not enjoy) I realize he plays this game very differently from me.
There is no wrong way to play a game. The criticism is valid. I do think the play habits of Ben and Jan do make the game more difficult for them. I very rarely even get hit in this game in the first biome unless it is a boss fight.
@saberrider: The last few weeks are the best UPF has been in awhile. Do you really not like anyone who isn't an original cast member? I enjoy all these guys. And i'm not gen Z...
Phil Spencer seems honest, realistic, and forward thinking. My gut wants to say "oh, this guy is just a master of PR"...but the transparency about the direction he wants to move the Xbox and about Microsoft's competition in the video game space is both interesting and leaves me thinking about investing in the product. It seems like Xbox is in good hands.
