Desktop Dungeons

Anybody tried playing roguelikes but end up getting confused with the terrible interface, long gameplay time and difficulty?

Try out desktop dungeons, a simple roguelike with a reasonable learning curve, difficulty and interface.

The game resembles minesweeper + rpgs and requires certain amount of skill to play it making it reasonably hard.

I would appreciate(and allow it) if someone created a separate thread titled something like 'Why You Shouldn't Buy Modern Warfare 2'. Put all the points why the game/Activision/Infinity Ward should be ignored.

The reason for this is I feel those that want to complain are already hijacking this thread way too much. I understand your rage but you can't force everyone to agree with you and not to expect everyone not to play this game simply because you wont be doing so. By having that new thread you still give forumers the choice to view your side as well as allowing them space to discuss about this game if they wanted to.

Just don't bring the hate to this thread. No more flaming from here onwards please.

Requested by Mr. Frags

Please continue you discussion based on the topic title.

It'll be best if some of the forumers buying the PC version can give a unbiased review on what they think about the new multiplayer.

frags: Nvm continue with your points in this thread. Posts your list of points. Please don't bring this up in the existing Modern Warfare 2 thread.

Why you shouldnt buy MW2?
- IW and Activision have no respect for gamers. They have also exhibit lots of arrogance in the media. Lots of broken promise. Even console gamers are ignored on the request to reset the leader board and levels due to the early leak for consoles. Not only the PC gamers are ignored. This shows that Activision doesnt care about how good is the game actually,they just want your money and thats it.Then,they gonna pump out more sequels each year to get your money. Just like NFS series 1-2 years back, Shift have improved,though.

NOTE 1: Thread deleted by IW in IW forums.
NOTE 2: IW seems like deleting any threads that might affect their reputations,like no lean threads,dedicated server threads etc.
- IW's arrogance.PC gamers who ask about anything about IWNet are mostly ignored.If not,mostly short and ambiguous answers are given to PC gamers.

- PC gamers are being treated as minority and dedicated server issue is completely ignored.

- Some of the PC DVD not working.

- Bobby Kotick.Why is he here? This guy is pretty much the root of all these problems. He wants money,not making good innovative games.Franchise that could have annual sequels is the interest him the most.

- MW2 is an overpriced game.RM220 at TSBTSB. 60USD on Steam,or worse 90USD on Steam Australia.This just further showed that Kotick is greedy for money.
Thats the price to pay for a 5 hour single player campaign game,with a mediocre multiplayer.Length of Spec Ops is unknown.

- IWNet and Host Migration turn off.

NOTE: I'll add more on this when there is more information.Most Aussies should have been getting the game now.

- MW2 have no modding and no custom maps at all.This means that you are stuck with the same content on day 1,until you decided to buy some maps from Activision.

- No dedicated servers.This means that gaming experience on MW2 will be more laggy compared to the dedicated server system used in CS,TF2,Battlefield etc.Also,the host will have an advantage over other players as the Host will have almost zero ping,while others are having 100+ ping.That means death of competitive gaming,as the host have an advantage over others.

IW's reasoning for no dedicated servers.

- No lean in MW2,because "it's not balanced for lean". Lean is a feature in CoD since CoD1.

- No console access.

- Wait for Battlefield Bad Company 2

Why wait for BFBC2?
1. It's all what MW2 should offer: Modern warfare with modern weapons, perks that is similar to MW1's Perks, customisable weapon load out and dedicated servers. Also,it also offers more than what MW2 offers, vehicles like tanks,hummers,A10,chopters and fully destructable environment.
2. Dedicated servers are confirm.Even consoles are getting it. Source
3. No overpriced CE.Standard edition seems to be same price as typical PC game(50USD).Probably cheaper because of EA SG.
4. PC Beta in December confirmed.Along with demo in early 2010. This shows DICE is committed to make BFBC2 a strong multiplayer game and IW completely ignored this aspect. CoD4 did have a beta,but MW2 have no beta at all.
5. PC version of BFBC2 will be a true PC game.DICE developers promised this. Source will be cited soon.

NOTE: There is a chance that BFBC2 will be screwed up some way by EA.The chances are low,though,as DICE seems very committed to make BFBC2 a good game.Battlefield 3 rumored to followed after a or 2 year BFBC2 released.
