07:58:43 Devastator_ is now known as Devastator
07:59:09 Devastator: little miffed, actually.
07:59:15 Devastator: it's two more weeks before I get a paycheck.
08:48:05 syv: Melee combat games where virtually all units are either archers or spearmen with shields (or generally just a single melee weapon type)
08:48:16 syv: Sekiro almost counts but not really
08:48:31 syv: Do any notable ones come to mind for you,
Dev?
08:49:55 Devastator: Not off the top of my head.
08:51:18 Devastator: no, there was one, but I can't remember the name.
08:51:27 Devastator: a similar stealth-melee game.
08:51:37 Devastator: had mission-based and was medieval japanese themed.
08:51:51 Devastator: almost all the enemies were archers.
08:53:56 syv: Thinking about comparison to shooters
08:54:23 syv: There's a decent number of shooters, generally the realism ones, where pretty much everyone just gets ARs with limited exceptions.
08:54:28 Devastator: yeah, can't remember the name. Saw part of a LP like six, seven years ago.
08:55:03 syv: Melee combat games seem to do that pretty rarely, and when they do I think it's more "just swords"?
08:56:04 Devastator: although there's also Metal Gear Raiden. ;-p
08:56:15 Devastator: the one I'm thinking of was also more of a stealth game.
08:56:23 Devastator: you had melee fighting, but it was about 80% stealth.
08:56:50 Devastator: If you didn't manage the quick kill they could defend themselves and you had to win the melee combat.
08:58:03 syv: Some games where combat is just completely secondary only have one weapon because... you're not really supposed to use it much anyway.
08:58:15 syv: Why invest effort in making more
08:58:28 Devastator: Spend more time on the key features.
