Dishonored 2

I knew Spelunky 2 was an inferior game once I realized level feelings weren't in the game anymore
>>
there's no way in which spelunky 2 is superior to the original in your eyes?
>>
>>750568775
I will never go past world 2 and i'm fine with that :)
>>
>>750568847
read the post again you illiterate jeet.

>>750568839
I remember after dying in the first world over and over I booted up Splunk1 to see what they fucked up.

I ended up getting to Yama on my third try.
The levels are way more cramped in Spelunky 2 and the amount of pointless new additions really ruin everything.

I don't know why
they are not that diferent

spunky 2 is better it just has annoying conditions to get to areas. derek is up his own ass with ebin secrets and shit to the point it is detrimental (ufo50 is full of it)
>>
>>750570862
Spelunky 1 is a tight package, just enough bullshit enemies that it preys on those who sleep on them or rush
Spelunky 2 meanwhile has so many damn enemies that you're more likely to get hit by the previous bullshit enemies while trying to avoid the cannon fodder.
>>
>>750568775
Spelunky 2 is objectively superior
I just didn't enjoy it as much because the area that you will replay the most, the first one, is a tedious piece of shit while it was quick to go through in the first game. As soon as you get to 2-1 the game becomes fun again.
One day I'll get 7-99

Spelunky turns everything from the first game up to 11, and that makes the game worse overall. Runs take too long, the "bullshit" deaths have become more bullshit, the secrets are so hidden that basically no one found them organically. It just isn't a game that is tempting to play compared to Spelunky 1.

Dishonored 2 rehashes everything about the first game, but does it in a way that's tamer and less interesting. The villain is rehashed, a traitorous woman you could choose to kill is now back as your ally, instead of facing Daud you're facing some lame scientist woman, etc. The non-lethal route is less brutal, but only when it comes to the numerous female targets in the game, who you all spare with very little consequences to them. I'm not a woman-hater, but the dark fantasy IP was clearly taken over by feminists who were uncomfortable with bad things happening to women.

>it's objectively superior
>expect for the part that makes it shit and tedious to play
jokes aside, the overall visual style of the game is a lot less charming and fells like something made by a committee, despite it being marketed as a passion-fueled indie title.

Every sequel ever
>>
There's just something I hate about Escapists 2. It tries so hard to be funny, and you're encouraged to escape the prisons by doing these elaborate quests instead of just digging a tunnel out of the prison. I guess I'd still rather play the sequel, but I'm not happy about it.

Spelunky HD compared to the freeware original.
>removing being able to push blocks by jumping and running at them, allowing you to push them without footing to stand on
Unironically ruined HD for me.
>>
>>750575615
Why even pretend that you like the freeware version more? What do you stand to gain?
>>
>>750576394
Contrarianism, just like pretending you like the remake more than 2.
>>
>>750576987
The remake is a lot more enjoyable than 2.
>>
>>750576394
Being able to push blocks in mid-air improves the game massively. Really the only bad thing about the freeware game is that jumping towards the corner of certain blocks can insta-kill you for no reason.
>>
>>750568775
I like 2 more.
>>
>>750568775
spelunky 2 is a complete downgrade visually. no hindsight required, just a cursory glance should've told you all you needed to know about this tripe
