Why wouldn't you expect it to be? Everything we've seen looks great.I hope it's good but I don't expect it to be
The development team just seems too small to be able to produce enough diverse high quality content. I expect this to be either really short or to get repetitive really fast, like most Indies.Why wouldn't you expect it to be? Everything we've seen looks great.
I suspect you are right, a team this small is prone to tunnel vision in the design process.The development team just seems too small to be able to produce enough diverse high quality content. I expect this to get repetitive really fast.
If I'm wrong all the better.
I don't think this game is going to be what a lot of people want/thought it was.. I've seen 2 threads where it got throw around as being like Diablo.I hope it’s good. Excited for it. It didn’t show loot or customization systems though. I hope they focused on that.
The amount of attention that this game is getting for no discernable reason really is strange. Is it just because everybody's bored?

Diablo is a game about having tons of loot/magic/character options and grinding for said loot for 1000s of hours.. it's also not about aiming guns in general, mostly about all kinds of attacks, area of effect, explosive, etc. I see nothing similar here but the top-down aspect of the game.I always thought it was going to be very Diablo-isn but in a Sci-Fi cyberpunk setting. Is that not the case?
Nex Machina? Alienation?What's the last good twinstick shooter you've played?
Same reason flight sim on Xbox is. They’ve got literally nothing.The amount of attention that this game is getting for no discernable reason really is strange. Is it just because everybody's bored?

Shit, even Returnal has elements of a twinstick/bullet hell shooter.
Returnal came out a few months ago. So, no. I don't. This looks completely mediocre in every way imaginable.Look how long ago those games came out. I'm specifically talking about top down. So you should be able to understand why we're excited.

Hmmm.. thanks.. guess I just haven't seen that represented in the videos much. I know the game has loot/gear, but it seems super light on that aspect.. and that + magic and whatever is the essence of Diablo. All I ever see is a guy aiming and shooting in their demos.The Ascent is a cyberpunk Diablo-like that’s packing heat
Sounds a lot like sci-fi Diablo to me, but I guess we will see.
I don't care what you 'count'.I dont count Returnal.
Yea, this looks sick. I can’t wait. Helldivers was the last twin stick game I really liked.
I mean it’s got good graphics and is cyberpunk - why wouldn’t it get attentionThe amount of attention that this game is getting for no discernable reason really is strange. Is it just because everybody's bored?

Same reason Destruction All Stars and Bugsnax were hyped up.Same reason flight sim on Xbox is. They’ve got literally nothing.
Bugsnax is dopeSame reason Destruction All Stars and Bugsnax were hyped up.
Not at all the same. The Ascent and Flight Sim are actually good.Same reason Destruction All Stars and Bugsnax were hyped up.
Shooty Shooty
Wherever we could put explosions we did
Reminds me of Ruiner but better graphics. Small teams have made cool games in this exact genre.
So much wrong with this.Same reason Destruction All Stars and Bugsnax were hyped up.

Apparently it does not have randomised loot drop. The core aspect behind Diablo's grinding.
But both are top down action RPGs, so that's where people are drawing comparisons from.
Great, I'm so sick of RNG crap in games. The Wishender Bow in Destiny 2 was an awesome experience to 2 man our way through a 3 man adventure, without looking up what to do etc. The weeks of working it out when we were under the level bar but got it done was some of the best gaming going around. The RNG stuff Bungie put into Destiny 2 made me drop the game entirely. I hate RNG grinding, so stupid. If you know what you're after why shouldn't you be able to grind to a specific loot goal?
Why do I get the feeling Hulk Hogan has a lot of explaining to do
