KickStarter Darkest Dungeon AKA the Celerity Attention Whore Thread

[Beastro]

Celerity, move on from this messy divorce and go marry another game.

 

[Great Deceiver]

my apparent weakness is an illusion.

I honestly laughed at this one. Full blown, 5am guffaws. You honestly can't be more than 18, 20 years old.

I thought I had stumbled into the Turbodweeb fedora thread by mistake.

What responsible, gainfully employed adult mods games at all, let alone ones they loathe yet have spent gobs of hours playing? Exactly...

 

[Wolfe]

What the fuck is this shit?

agrisBut seriously, here's what's happening here. I'm a very patient person, which makes people think they can bullshit me and treat me any kind of way. That just means I crack down on them hard, as my apparent weakness is an illusion. I do not give a fuck what idiots think of me, I don't much care about non idiots who I don't respect either. Political correctness is the most incorrect thing imaginable, likewise bullshitting and pussyfooting around instead of saying what you actually mean and think. You will always know where you stand with me, and as someone who doesn't believe in groupthink shit, and does believe in intelligent, critical, independent thought a lot of people are gonna get very salty because I absolutely will not validate them, and if they insist on being dumbfucks I will happily deconstruct them. This is not a flaw, I have deliberately cultivated and even amplified this because it's the best way of filtering out bullshit from my life. Absolutely no one is immune. I'm old enough, and seen enough bullshit that I've had quite enough of it. Now enter a forum full of closeted basement dwellers with grand positions of being some educated elite. If I properly screened the forum instead of just jumping in because someone linked me I could have predicted these pointless conflicts, and as I have no interest in pointless conflicts simply avoided them all. But hey, this is what happens when you quit being a cynical old man and actually look at things from a normal uncritical view. As much as certain people here (not even all) have gone full retard, I can only get as mad at them as I would get at a pet for biting through my cables. They're annoying and destructive sure, but they also can't help themselves. They're not welcome in my house anymore, but I can't muster proper hatred.

Who the fuck cares, Celerity? Nobody is interested in your life story, you've taken over this fucking thread, whenever I hop on here to read about the game I have to go through dozens of your shit posts. Seriously, this has even turned into a motherfucking shrink session with Lujo, with life and personality advices for Celerity that NOBODY gives a shit about.

Dude, does this game have some big issues? Fuck yes, and I'm going to cover them when I write my review. But you.. you've got fucking mental issues to hold so tight to this game, I thought I was guilty of trying to force people to see things my way but you take it to a completely new level. Despite all of the game's issues and your bitching and transformation of this thread into your personal drama space, I'm still pleased with my decision to buy this game.

Fuck you.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

DarkUnderlord What the fuck is Star Stable? And for clarity here, people are wanting a favor from me, spending my time and effort writing a review for a game that's not even a legitimate game, and that I am not interested in discussing anymore even in a purely mocking sense. We're not on friendly terms, so you don't get shit for free. You give me something, I give you something. Now I take this remark as a sign that whatever fuckwittery resulted in the Watchwitzing breaking the site will not be reversed, so that means nothing will change.

But I've already given you a redirect to RPGWatch.

Am I not kind and generous with my gifts?

 

[Starwars]

Damn, just went on a regular short "clear all rooms" run on the red difficulty level (Champion?) for the first time. Got completely fucking owned in like the first hallfway. One of those madman dickheads who dodged *everything* almost killed one of my dudes due to stress (and drove two people masochistic and hopeless to boot), one of the cultist bitches who also deal stress damage and then a giant who critted everything.
In the end, my plan was to complete the encounter and then abandon the dungeon but of course the fucking giant managed to blight my Leper the last round, and then it was the Leper's turn and bam... deathblow. Fuck.

Got some grea trinkets from that one fight though.

 

[Dr Skeleton]

Finished it.
Ehhh it's alright, especially in small doses, but they really force you to grind and repeat content too much. Combined with superficial hero development, once you learn proper party composition and select the right skills in town, it's just watching the dice roll for the most part. Which still can be exciting, but the game lacks depth in the long run, and they stretch it as much as they could. Once you fought an enemy or boss once they can't really surprise you with anything, even on higher difficulties (not that I noticed at least). The final dungeon is nothing special too. Also something that started to bother me after playing the final dungeon, why the hell are maps in regular dungeons all revealed from the start? You can tell where the bosses are at first glance, how does that make sense with the whole torch / darkness system?
So yeah, it's fun for a while, but I don't think I'll be replaying this one unless they revise the whole character and dungeon system and cut some of the grind. The game would have been better if they added a fail state (you can't even go broke because heroes are free for some reason), cut the grind on repeating missions and only have each boss fight once, same for heroes: they would be better with more meaningful and permanent quirks/traits (not just randomly generated all the time for no reason), have some random items/weapons loot, special skills etc.

 

[Reinhardt]

fail state

NG+ have fail state, i think. By time restriction and by hero death count.

 

[Dr Skeleton]

Sure, but I'm not playing through all that grind again, at least not any time soon. It should have one in the regular mode. Plus, fail state by time restriction and hero death count is lazy, you should lose organically through gameplay: when you run out of heroes (no one wants to travel to your estate / you can't pay them anymore, but that would require them to overhaul the hero recruitment system), or have town defense missions and lose when the town gets overrun by monsters. Maybe have some sanity meter for the player (could give alternate endings). Hero death count seems very arbitrary especially, one of the things the game establishes early is that they're disposable.

 

[Jick Magger]

But Celerity just goes full on agressive mode from the start. I personally think it's quite odd. And his posts definetely have a "I'm being persecuted" tone to them. Even when most people aren't even giving him that hard of a time. In a world full of gray, Celerity is definitely a black and white kind of guy/girl/tranny.

It's just him doubling down on the sunk cost of his months of trying to 'destroy' Darkest Dungeon and Red Hook via negative word of mouth. He's invested over a thousand hours in to the game to prove it's shit, he's spent months going from Steam community threads, YouTube comments, and YouTube celebrities desperately trying to 'prove' how shit the game is, and now that all of that's pretty much gone nowhere and the game has been a moderate success, all he's got left is the RPG Codex thread, where he desperately tries to prove how enlightened and intelligent he is to any random person who's willing to listen.

He's not arguing from a rational standpoint anymore, he's arguing from the standpoint of someone who's emotionally invested in and extremely obsessed with proving himself right. At best, all he'll accomplish at this point is either driving the Darkest Dungeon thread here into the ground (which won't really accomplish much: the majority of people who would've bought the game have already bought it, and a majority who haven't yet will see this thread and just write him off as yet another crazy modder. At best, he'll just mildly annoy the people who do want to genuinely talk about the game and not have to interact with a spree-shooter in the making and his obsessive of a mediocre indie game), or he'll continue to sling shit at DU and get himself watchwiz'd. Either way, he'll convince himself that he's 'proven' something and move on to something else on which to fixate his obsession.

 

[Invictus]

Poor Celerity looking for deep meaningful conversation to heal his pain over the evils of Darkest Dungeon
Maybe he should play it for another 1337 to see if he goes even more crazy
I dont think you are an older guy I actually think you are a Sheldon Cooper clone or something, seeing how you rant and rave at the slightest provocation, blame everybody else for beign inferior and petty and are obsessed with a game you supposedly hate yet have played for an unbelievable length of time... Hell I dont think I could play a game I LOVE half that length of time let alone something I hate
You are either the stupidest son of a bitch ever or a misunderstood genious
Go get a life guy, you are a running joke and everybody who comes to this thread to be entertained by your rants and calls for respect is making fun of you, hell you cant even understand double meaning or sarcasm, you are simply too pathetic to be even entertaining anymore
Darkest still continues to sell well and the evil company its evil moderators have secured enough funds for future projects which I for one will probably check out...while you rant and rave in your mom's basement :D

 

[Lujo]

Right, so, change the name of the thread to something that hasn't got anythign to do with him?

And his tags to at least "Early access casualty"?

Someone has to stop feeding the chain, either way you look at it.

And I say this again - I've already made the all-encompassing tag for various behavior of such kind. Here's an animated version, to mix up things.

Seriously, 'dex is a heaven for both modder drama and tranny drama. Among the years we had quite a few, ranging from amusing, to downright depressive. I wonder if we ever had tranny-modder drama, does anyone remember?

 

[Eyestabber]

tranny-modder

I'm guessing the Dragon Age modding community is the place to search for those.

 

[Jaesun]

I don't believe we have had that yet...

 

[Stainless Veteran]

tranny-modder

Well, there was that supposedly female Oblivion modder who made nude male mods, whatsxher name, and probably many others on Loverslab, but they seem disinclined to post here. Probably for the best for all parties.

 

[Invictus]

I remember a modder for Oblivion Xantax or sonething who was obsessed with big titty trannies and posting the most deliciously decadent pictures, truly Oblivion was such a trendsetter in allowing mad modders to go all the way
Oh and kudos to Darkunderlord for vanishing poor Celerity to the depths of the Watch so they can share in the fun

 

[I ASK INANE QUESTIONS]

Ban Celerity.

 

[Stainless Veteran]

Well, on the other hand - I kinda fear that our dear Celerity, his psych problems notwithstanding, is a typical nu-codexer larva. The new generation, so to speak. He's obviously young, I think 16-18. He was raised by twitch and youtube, on competitive games, so he became a nu-combatfag. A red-haired stepson mondblut never had (or wanted). He seems to somewhat grasp the Decline concept, but he doesn't have enough experience with games to tell what exactly Decline is. All this further complicated that our youngster is a modder, it adds an another layer of shit on his not-so-pleasant personality, and in the end we got what we got. So he inspired me to make another tag, for all our future laravae little newfags:

I will possibly tweak this tag though, right now it doesn't look nearly as retarded as it should.

 

[Mustawd]

This might be true. He didn't even know what fallout 1 and 2 were about. Guy is probably pretty young. And Doctor Sbaitso hit the nail on the head when he pointed out no adult with a grown up job sinks 1337 hours into one video game in such a short time span.

 

[mondblut]

A red-haired stepson mondblut never had (or wanted).

I have refused my biological children, and keep some funds laid away specifically in case an urgent abortion will be needed again - and you expect me to tolerate stepsons?

(no clue what the thread is about and who the hell Celerity is - probably some annoying fag, but why would I care - but if you invoke the name of Xasthur mondblut, you oughta have a reason...)

But he really looks like either a stepchild or at least a retarded disciple of yours. Just very young, and probably schizo and/or autistic. Also a modder. He's a combatfag/spreadshitfag, with a personal vendetta against Red Hook devs and love of things hardcore (be it porn or difficulty settings in games). Didn't know what Fallout 1 and 2 were, and had sunk 1337 hours into his Darkest Dungeon playtrough and modding, probably more, hence I can't call him your true disciple.

 

[Celerity]

Wolfe It seems that the spiked horse dildo I have offered has been accepted and used well by you. I see that you are quite enjoying it.



Now who the fuck are you, why should I give any fucks, and why should I even acknowledge you when anyone can ctrl+f Celerity and see people constantly dragging me back in and me constantly saying fuck off already?

DarkUnderlord I see that you do not want a Derpest review. Very well then.

Dr Skeleton That's the best part. Anyone actually looking for a Roguelike will be so turned off by the extreme grind that by the time they get NG+ (which is a poorly made approximation of a Roguelike made by those with no understanding of the genre) they won't even care anymore. Anyone not will grind for a while then never use NG+. This is what happens when you gate a second, very different game behind the first.

Lujo They won't. I keep saying shit like fuck off about Derpest, next day x has quoted your post. Y has quoted your post. Z has mentioned you. People are far more obsessed with me than I allegedly am with Derpest. They will not let it go. They will continue, they will make remarks about me being insane or some sort of mass murderer in the making or some shit. They will obsess, forever.

Here it is for like the 5th time now. Drop the tag/watchwitz bullshit. Quit talking about me here, quit responding, quit referencing me, leave me the fuck out of this Derpest thread, and reverse all the bullshit that came with it. You can't do this. You won't do this. You want that insanity. Perhaps you even want a mass murderer. I don't know how fucked you fucks are in the head. You sure are hellbent on provoking me relentlessly though, even after seeing how I treat those that have.

Stainless Veteran Mustawd You are aware that cRPGs are actually pretty casual in the grand scheme of things right? Perhaps you missed the part where I came from PnP RPGs, which have a lot more mechanical depth? Or the part where that means I missed most of the older cRPGs by either not having a computer at the time, or not focusing on cRPGs at the time? I also had no idea wtf Twitch and Youtube were until well after reaching adulthood and well after their inception, but do keep carrying on with your retard rants assuming you have a good read on my personality from my troll persona, which is about all you fucks have seen by virtue of failing your intelligence check.

 

[Invictus]

Somebody put that sad little clown out of his misery, I sincerly hope he is trying to troll us with his response
Hell show me somebody anybody who has out half the hours you have in a game they loathe like you supposedly do, we keep trolling you and you keep coming back because you cannot let go buddy, you are such a pathetic coackroach than you cannot live with just walking away and leaving us to enjoy the fucking game, every time I want to post something about the game I run into walls of text of your retardness
Bet DU is going all Vader Noooo because you wont do Darkest review
But please show us your deep power of logic you vulcan overlord modder you

 

[mondblut]

PnP RPGs, which have a lot more mechanical depth?

Nigga, please. That's the first time I see the games whose formulae are supposed to be computed by a bunch of dorks in realtime accused of having more complex mechanics than the games whose mechanics are calculated by a fucking computer capable of doing millions of operations per tick. Whatever advantages tabletop RPGs have over CRPGs (and they have a plenty), they are most certainly not mechanical.
