Shame about Early Access as it'll spoiler everything and allow devs to eliminate fun strategies in advance, but I'm excited.

Hope they change the gameplay instead of just recycling the same shit again.
A proper 3d tactics game would be better than the shitty line system.

For what it's worth, I think they were looking for 3D staff some weeks ago. Also the guy speaks about increasing dev team size from 5 to 13 or so people in that PC Gamer interview.

That's the problem with having that mindset when making a game, they design it around being RNG heavy to the point where it's not fun and kill any strategies designed to get around it. The first one was way too grindy for my liking and in general just not fun so I never played it much even though I liked the idea. I don't even care about losing guys and what not but you have to balance the game around it like the original xcom where you can have a bunch of guys so it feels less cheap even when you lose half your team.

Yeah man make it a hexagon like every other shitty indie dev ever.
If anything they should make it have a real fucking counter for who's turn is going to be next instead of sometimes not caring who has speed over monsters.

Game becomes 5x better with mods for inventory, roster, and trinket space. (Inventory so your characters don't die every other battle lvl 4+ due to supplies you cant carry and also somewhat profit from, roster so you can actually have a varied team, and trinkets because most have negative effects already)

New guys were the only literally free resource though, even if you had to upgrade your coach to make them worth it. But basically the system was identical to XCOM.

why subject yourself to an experience that is literally designed for streambait like xcom is? It's just so people can enjoy the schadenfreude of watching someone get fucked in the ass by RNG, why would you willfully suffer through a game that your skill isn't 100% the variable of winning, the only answers are
1.masochistic
2.bad at videogames and need an element on RNG for the possibly of winning
3.stupid

So it could be Oregon Trail mixed with a 2D dungeon crawler? That sounds pretty cool. Maybe instead of maintaining a town you could maintain a caravan of travelers, picking up new adventurers along the way and gathering enough supplies on your scouts to keep everyone warm and feed for the night. Whatever it is, I hope it's good.

>>16144548
yeah no. For quite a few reasons.
For example in xcom you can typically reuse equipment. Worst case you lose the powersuit along with the guy that hot himself blown up in. You can just use another or dust off a basic armor until the new suit rolls out the assembly line.
In dankest dungeon gear is locked to the character and bought incrementally so for each one you have to buy all lower tiers of gear before buying the best available which is FUCKING STUPID.

This is what I'm thinking, or at least close to something that will be a part of it. The dungeons weren't especially unique, especially when repeated so many times and even with mods like Pitch Black Dungeon, so it's an obvious thing to tinker with. The game does lack unique characters ala Banner Saga, so I don't think it will be a singular story and journey; rather I think you will progress into increasingly difficult and maddening parts of the world as part of your expedition.
I'm both relieved and disappointed that the old cast will be making a return, but hopefully they're ready to slaughter their babies and actually rework heroes or balance the game in a way that isn't punishing whatever braindead meta (4x Crusader, Uberjester, etc) reddit has latched onto as the only way to play the game.

I loved the first game despite all the flawed design choices, but honestly I don't expect anything more than an attempt to recapture lightning in a bottle. It'll probably be fairly similar to the first, but with a bunch of different changes that ruin the feeling and it'll be universally hailed as
>It's okay but just not the same.
I expect nothing and I feel like I won't even care enough to pick it up when it comes out. They've demonstrated they have great artistic and musical talent on board, but they just can't really design a game well enough to warrant excitement. If I ever have the urge to grind until I get mad about RNG and quit, I'll just replay the first one.

Which late game is literally nothing. It costs more than 3 times as much upgrading from tier 3 to 5 than it does upgrading from 1 to 3, and at that point T3s are only good for suicide torchless farming squads. Again: you must buy the T4 before buying the T5. For every single character you want the T5 once you can make them.

I hope they remove the stupid fucking movement between the rooms. All it did was drain sanity and made you look up the wiki for what to do with each curio since all choices are trial and error.
Also what was the last time you moved backwards and it was actually worth it? Worthless feature.

It was quite underwhelming. The main thing with it was the endless mode (unlocked after a novice and veteran level missions) where you fight unending waves of enemies and get rewarded with comet shards, which can in turn be used to buy special trinkets.
It doesn't really intrude upon the main game like CC did, except for one special boss that can appear and wander around a region for a week.
Worth the price? Maybe if you really like Darkest Dungeon. Just checked to see how much it was and saw it's -33% on (((Steam))) right now.

The original game did a great job of painting the different character's personalities through tidbits of dialogue and a half dozen wordless panels.
I'm excited to see what they can scrounge up for any new characters, and was hoping for them to do it again with a new cast. I'm sure there will be at least a few new faces to learn about, so I'm happy.

I hope they have a much more clear idea of what they want with this game. I liked Darkest Dungeon but the devs did too much jumping around with their design that lead to everyone being pissed off because so and so was nerfed, such and such mechanic, on and on and on. They need very clear goals to work toward, and a stable roadmap leading to them.
I don't know what to expect but I'm hoping it's new enough to feel like a unique game offering a new experience instead of a glorified expansion pack. But at the same time I hope it's not too different because I enjoyed my RNG fuckfest of suffering and erratic luck. So all I can hope is they know what they're fucking doing this time and that the new characters aren't shitty. They also better bring back the Musketeer in the base game.

reminder they made the arbalest a niggeress
reminder the game has no actual difficulty. its an easy baby game that just has you randomly die once in a while in an unpreventable random way. it's not even hard. the RNG isnt nearly as bad as people say. if you know how turn based game mechanics work and do your shit right, you'll probably only lose like 3 characters total throughout the whole game, not counting the last level. that's around how many i lost.
i always brought the rogue character too that has fucking shit stats but good loot. even though i had this useless character with no good skills, no one on my team ever died.
it's a game for little babies, i bet pokemon has more game overs than this.

Maybe it'll actually turn into something even remotely resembling a roguelike – a term they're overly fond of using to describe their game. I'd even settle for a roguelite.
