It really shows that as long as it's an interesting and fun game, it would get praised rather than a game that has realistic graphics that has a lot of GBs that would have worse gameplay and story just so it can somewhat be bragged about saying" oh yeah, we've spent 100 million dollars to make our game" like it would even matter anyways.

[@Potato_Harvey]

he said the same thing about terraria, hes so quick to judge over pixels its comical💀

[@Dice-Z]

@@Potato_Harvey Yep, he'd probably like terraria a lot too. It's basically an action/adventure game with rich random gen, which gives it slight roguelike-ish and metroidvania-ish (like blasphemous, dude should 100% play hollow knight too) undertones. It's nothing like minecraft and is pretty much what games like core keeper and valheim are based on. Terraria is one of the OG of action oriented sandboxes, and also one of the top 3~5, easily. It's funny i heard a stardew valley comparison when it's not at all focused on the chill, it's not at all a life sim and you don't spend your life farming. Nevermind the mods which have more content than a blizzard or MH extension, but since they are unbalanced and annoying to manage/install, even the base content itself is absolutely massive, and after more than a decade the game is still on its way to receive another massive update. Massive replayability, optional grinding for those who want it, very satisfying combat/movement, every part of the game, world and systems are packed with meaningful things to do or see. The game gives you total freedom in how you approach it, and would allow for any of Asmon's favored playstyle easily, be it bruteforcing, cheesing, strategical play, or challenging yourself with pure combat. But if people want to play it like animal crossing, the game lets you do that without forcing you to do it. The sense of rewarding powercreep is matched by very few other games. With the perfect ammount of discovery, no hand holding but barely just enough tiny hints to progress. You just chill and do what you want. It's so strange how some people are allergic to pixel art though, when many of the most hardcore video games and most gameplay rich games are pixel art games.

4:34 this has to be one of the most annoying trends in gaming in the past 10 years. can these devs just go back to fucking call it "male" and "female" and group character assets back together under these categories? every time i want to make a new character in one of those games, i have to click myself through all of the options now and try to figure out what this "body type 1, body type 2" shit even means before i can make a choice. because a lot of the time its not even right away obvious what the male or female options are and you have to look like 2 or 3 times. its just user unfriendly interface design. you can still make it so that people can freely combine those assets for like the dozen people out of a million who actually want to make one of those weird cross dressing characters. just categorize them properly for everyone else so we dont have to fumble ourselves through this shit just to build a normal character, man.

If you like Core Keeper and try it, should look up one called Necesse. Graphics are very similar to this, you have food, equipment and such, but you also get NPCs at your base which you can use to gather things, put away items and such, you build a world for them. You can also play with other people on your save. From what I've found, the game is huge, but still early access. Necesse graphics are not quite as good as this one, but the additional NPCs you can semi-control in your base with designating areas for different things, and certain boxes for what they put in and what they can and cannot eat. You can also decorate their rooms to make them happy to get more people. I do really like the skill points, and how leveling works on here.

Gear without Armor gets 1-shot (dodge-chance gear or gear without magic shield) and shield off-hands are 110% required for Parrys (pretty forgiving timing, too, but missing the parry sucks; I was able to tank as melee for most bosses). We didn't mind the challenge either--like I said, we're mostly permadeath/hard difficulty players, so dying isn't really something that discourages us. We play a lot of private league HC Path of Exile (over 13k hours myself). The annoying thing was when the game would spawn 3~5 monsters behind you, while you're minding in a straight passage. It was just instant death--even with all buffs up. Coming from someone who prefers permadeath, having a near guaranteed death like that is pretty stupid. Yes, I could avoid it by spending significantly more time to make sure I don't put myself in anything less than a 3x3 passage, but that's pretty ridiculous and we'd never be able to kill the 6 endgame bosses in a weekend with that kind of mentality. Having 2 off-hand slots would fix the above for me because you could counter them with a shield, while still having a feather or your DPS off-hand. On top of that, replanting the crops was really annoying and I wish they would just keep regrowing after harvesting. Finally, they really need to add proximity crafting to the rest of the benches (the improvement bench has it from the start, but everything else was tedious). I also think the core movement in the game is sub-par--with too much emphasis on cardinal direction/grid-based movement. You get used to it, but I wish I had more control. All that said, compare it to playing something like Hardcore Infernum Calamity on Terraria (or even vanilla hardcore) and it's not even close. Modded Terraria is far more difficult, but is entirely skill-based and this game, while not terrible, felt janky by comparison. All and all, I'd still play Core Keeper again (especially when modded expansions for it come out), but for now it was a solid 7/10 for me.

[@KingNiros]

​@@honordevs Ah, I'm a HCSF POE man myself. Over 13K for sure as well. Although my Steam doesn't show it because I was playing long before it came out on Steam, since closed beta. I've found that lots of torches help me see those guys coming when the game sends them after you when there should be no monsters at the time. That way myself and my pet can be prepared, but it takes a lot of movement speed to survive those particular fights. I'm always highest armor possible and as much movement speed as possible. Garden food buffs and armor pots. I prefer the axes because each hit is harder and I can hit multiple people. Stick and move approach. Shield is OP. Hardcore Terraria is much harder for sure, but this is still a great game. I actually thought the creators of Terraria made this when I heard the music, but they didn't. My biggest hope now is that since we have 2 companies now making these particular games, one of them will make a 3d version that blows Minecraft out of the water. I know it can be done because I can see it clearly in my mind. Think of a Mario 64 type view. Wish I had the capability to make one myself.

I played Core Keeper a lot in the early access and loved it. Very surprised to see Asmongold talking about it and playing it.

[@emotivbro]

He should try subnautica , i think it suits him alot!!!!👍🏻

[@RBFiddy]

I picked up this game over the wknd because of your video. It's so, so good.

[@trapyy2980]

I've played Terraria before and couldnt get into it because i just couldnt figure out what to do and how to do things, i also did not want to look in the internet to learn so i just gave up This week i tried Core Keeper and im already addicted to it because everything is so intuitive, you get wood, make crafting table, and there is only a few things you can craft, and after you craft it all you can upgrade the crafting table so the sensation of progression is great

[@Apathetic2624]

Progression is pretty linear in terraria, not quite sure where you could get lost.

[@Tory-JJ]

​@Apathetic2624 no it's not. The game is confusing af and you are lieing without proof you did a blind run.

[@Tory-JJ]

Ye same here I am planning to get it too.

[@KoinzellGaming]

@@Apathetic2624 I think in the past it used to be a bit more non-linear. A lot less information being provided and you generally had to either watch videos or follow the wiki. For example, you still need to check the wiki when you're trying to build combined items (to find out where to get the required pieces). Also you don't know where to progress and when (Should you go into the corruption/jungle in the early game? No you shouldn't, but the game doesn't tell you that). If you want a good idea of how Terraria was when it launched Totalbiscuit's lets play gives a good idea (although they kinda were messing around a lot as well).

[@Apathetic2624]

@@KoinzellGaming I played terraria since its launch, im fully aware of what it used to be like. collectively from Xbox and pc I have around 4000 hours. Besides that the game literally has a guide that tells you how to craft items. The bestiary also tells you what mobs drop what so you cant even complain about that anymore. You could say the same thing about core keeper that youre applying to terraria. Should you go to the clay caverns or forgotten ruins right away? probably not, but you can and nothing is stopping you. You might notice your mining slower, but the same could be said for the corruption in terraria which you literally cant mine until you get a better pickaxe. Its a sandbox game what do you expect?

[@nktaylo1]

They have already discussed proximity crafting in the future. Currently, anything stashed diagonally within one space will be automatically pulled. Hope he puts out more videos.

[@azrael_pendragon]

@@Palemis yeah that and I can just search up metas and stuff, if this game is good then people will still be playing for sure. Furthermore, whenever I play Minecraft or terraria, I play for a little bit like 1-4weeks then leave for a few months or even a year then come back and grind again. Although since it's my first time I could be playing for months if it's addictive.

[@0x0404]

Terraria is great but it is something you need a wiki open for since even though the guide does show you all the ingredients you need for things that isn't really enough except to be a teaser. There is a lot of content, like minecraft, that was added over time and not really explained.

[@EspritFidget]

That's bad design and not fun to watch

[@Phetroc]

The butterflies in terraria will kill you.

[@k3x478]

I instantly started playing it after last vid about Core Keeper, casually playing I got past the 2nd boss yesterday and am enjoying it a lot. Now time to continue watching this 😂

[@chinnerchilla]

I don’t even think this can really be compared to terraria they are so different just because it’s pixel art and has bosses does not make the games similar

[@frustratedsquirrel]

it's not just that it has pixel art and has bosses. It has the same gameplay loop as terraria, similar design sensibilities through and through. It features farming, base decoration, terraforming and steadily customising your world as a means to an end of improving your gear and kit in order to take on progressively more challenging bosses.

[@Apathetic2624]

If you want to get really picky, the game is more like starbound than terraria. But after playing core keeper, and terraria being one of my favorite games, they are both really similar in gameplay

[@kikixchannel]

@@yksol8649 While I do agree that farming games do appeal to girls more, not every farming game IS 'girly'. The writing and the graphics (yes, those DO matter) play a part in deciding what is 'girly' and what is 'not'. Stardew Valley, storywise and in graphics (presentation) is not catering to either gender. Animal Crossing? Yes. Those cutesy, round graphics, chiby figures...that is a girly graphic style. I don't know the story, but I imagine it's full of 'unicorns and sunshine' as well, which is generally 'girly' theme. Stardew Valley is a moderate game with uplifting, casual story, but it does not lean in on the 'cuteness' and 'fluffiness'. It leans on being either a good businessman (that shops questline) or an active community member (the Community Center questline).
