Can somebody tell me what randomizers are for and why people play them?

to have fun when the game gives you something silly.

Most games are scripted so that you get certain things before others. It can get kinda predictable if you play the same game a dozen times and begin to know exactly when and where you'll acquire certain things. Randomizers help break up that predictability by mixing up the progression a lot. Testing you if you can think on your toes and still beat the randomized game with whatever good/weak stuff you may get early on.

Last randomized game I played was Wind Waker Randomizer.

They move item locations around in metroidvania games and sometimes make the game impossible to beat.

They're the hack version of randomly generated dungeons

Pokemon randomizers give trainers different Pokemon teams, let you pick from randomly picked starters, reassigns wild Pokemon (randomly).

Not really.

Reminder that the DS Castlevanias have randomizers.

There exist some easy as fuck games with actually rather great mechanics that never get explored enough, so some games stand to gain a lot by throwing randomness at you, which incidentally pressures you into adapting your playstyle rather than being complacent and just picking and choosing the same route all the time.

Metroidvanias and action adventure games (generally scripted ones) are just dumb streamerbait, but shit like monster catchers, sportsball sims and grand strategy games are wonderful at it. You may be given a crippling starting debt in a world power to rebuild from scratch or start off from an isolated island with resources that shouldn't be available to you and go full comfy on the rest of the world.

They're for challenging you in new ways that the vanilla game can't, often testing your knowledge of the vanilla game, in the process. It also adds an inherent element of unpredictability to the game.

They basically exist for the same reason roguelikes do.

they are for autists who obsess over certain games but have played the game so many times they have gotten bored of it

Can you tell me why you fags suddenly think you are welcome here?

Randomisers are for getting more replay value out of the same games. If you know exactly what's up ahead, and it's the same as the last 5000 times, or you could never know exactly what was up ahead, which one would you pick?

How about you tell me what you think a randomizer is first, so I can tell if you're as retarded as you sound.

FE8 self randomizing rom has some interesting shit. Finding a viable seed takes forever. Unfortunately it's very easy for Ephriam's gaiden to be impossible.

>>16439657

Is there a way to use the cosmetics options without randomization?
