OK, so get this. Itā€™s a walk around and hit things Action RPG. Bleh.

But you only play like, 15 minutes at a time on little missions. Co-op with your friends too, in real time.

And itā€™s also like Left 4 Dead. One player is a ā€œdungeon masterā€ who lays all the traps in the dungeon and puts out the monsters and that sort of stuff.

Itā€™s gonna be free to play, but with no PvP, there canā€™t be any P2W. Theyā€™re going to charge for more classes and more ways to customize classes. Imagine Diablo where you have to pay real money or else you only have one path down the skill tree. As the kind of person who will probably only play this for a couple weeks, and only play one class, I think itā€™s gonna be free. Of course, it wonā€™t be free until 2019. Theyā€™re going to charge money for early access on Steam.

I express mild curiosity.

That doesnā€™t sound like Left 4 Dead at all. Thereā€™s no ā€œdungeon masterā€ in L4D. L4D is a cooperative shooter. No one lays out traps or puts out monsters.

Maybe youā€™re thinking of Dungeon Keeper?

You mean Left 4 Dead where there is a team that acts as the zombies and can respawn infinitely? Just replace that team with one person instead of a team.

Left 4 Dead is primarily a cooperative zombie survival game. Yes, thereā€™s a ā€œversus mode,ā€ but thatā€™s like saying that Mass Effect is a multiplayer shooter. It may have multiplayer, but itā€™s primarily a single player roleplaying game.

And even in the versus mode, the players donā€™t lay down traps or even decide where theyā€™re going to respawn. Itā€™s all random or controlled by the AI Director.

This is a fan game that will be available tomorrow.

EDIT: Hereā€™s the demo.

I only care about the soundtrack. If Yuzo Koshiro brings the banging EDM BGM, then Iā€™m all in. If he doesnā€™t, then Iā€™m out. Based on the music we hear in this trailer, not good.

Yā€™all watch any of that Cyberpunk stream? Seemed neat but Iā€™m dubious how much will make it into the final game.

Nope, after the drama that has happened so far, Iā€™m not touching that game with an infinitely long pole.

Not familiar :thinking:

O M G!!!

Praying for Yuzo Koshiro!

Iā€™m not super familiar with it but basically they made, then doubled-down on, some pretty transphobic jokes.

Oh this sounds interesting. A cyberpunk thing and hearing about it on the forum. Iā€™ll bite.

I saw no such doubling down, just a lukewarm apology. There was only joke directed towards transgender, another sounds like some bizarre GamerGate tweet which doesnā€™t make any sense.

In case you want to see how to do trailer.
