Date: December 11th, 2025 3:43 PM Author: tats terraria lost that suspension of disbelief of being a pixelshit game by all those dumb biomes, horror for the sake of horror, and bosses that also ignore the pixelshit. everything up until the eye boss is fun since you use the tools you have at hand like macgyver
can argue the same for noita, first level is nice, everything after just transitions the game from something conceptual and fun to a toxic programming sim for 0 pay |

Date: December 11th, 2025 3:55 PM Author: tats im a gamer, i dont know what things mean. people say mechanics even though its ambiguous and meaningless.
progression in single player games like having access to more abilities or items but in a measured way
for multiplayer games its just influence and dominion over other players
in response to thematics, when you have games that have some destroyable/buildable matrix, its important to make sure that this theme is relevant for the entirety of the game without being overwhelming |

Date: December 11th, 2025 3:58 PM Author: JennStergerFan1488 i think game designers have gotten a lot better at doing progression, actually
it's authenticity that has become the Big Problem. it's something that can't really be Engineered or Designed except in truly brilliant cases. it's mostly a function of sentiment that organically occurs amongst a playerbase
and in the era of "streaming" and 24/7 matrix connection, Games can really only capture this Authenticity for a couple weeks, maybe a month, before the hivemind's attention moves to something else that enraptures it |

Date: December 11th, 2025 7:21 PM Author: SneakersSO I don’t think I I even care about this but Souls games do this imo but the progression is you sucking less at the game. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5809198&forum_id=2\u0026show=week#49503134) |
