Health Bar Randomly Disappeared (SOLVED)

[boobufestu]

My health bar randomly disappeared when I went to the arcade, check my screenshots to see. Seriously, wtf?

I don't think there's a problem with that, heck I mean there are risk for taking pills. I usually just take them at the end of floors though.

I take it you haven't played Nethack,

Stupid in your opinion. Not stupid in the opinion of the myriads of roguelike fans. And I'm talking the actual, hardcore roguelikes - not the rogue"lites" that are popular these days.

If in, Nuclear Throne, for example, you opened a chest and it removed all of your levels or instantly killed you, that would be an objectively bad decision. I'll take a tears down or flat stat down any day over amnesia. It's easy to forget how much damage certain enemies do, so more often than not your memory isn't going to help you if theres no way for you to see vital information. I don't understand why your argument is "if it sucks to get, then it's a good design choice." Next do you want a pill that removed all of your items and gives you 1 heart? You seem to be of that mentality.

Actual roguelikes are supposed to be brutally difficult. That's why they are a niche genre. They're not meant to be fair to the player at all. It's kinda the point.

Also, I've played many roguelikes. Dungeons of dredmor, bionic dues, nuclear throne, both binding of isaacs extensively, etc. I've probably played even more roguelikes and don't remember them as well. But, I know what I'm talking about when I talk about roguelikes.

Those are all good games, but they mostly fall under the category of roguelite, not roguelike. If you want to try some actual roguelikes you'll want to try games like Nethack, ADOM, Angband, Brogue, Moria, etc. for PC. There's also Dragon Crystal for Game Gear/Master System, Fatal Labyrinth for Genesis and Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer for SNES/DS, and also Sword of Fargoal for iOS. But based on your opinion about the amnesia pill issue, you'll probably hate all of those games because they'll be too complicated and/or too difficult.

Yeah....have you tried the very first challenge yet? In Pitch Black, you can't see your health bar for the entirety of the challenge.

Not sure how you're not understanding this. It's meant to suck and act as a deterrent to randomly popping pills. That is the purpose of it's affect. If you, even once, pick up a random pill and think, "hmm, I might not want to take this because it might give me amnesia" then it's doing exactly what it was meant to do. It's good design. Also, I wouldn't even be against pills out right killing you as a negative effect, so removing your items and giving you one heart is also fine. As long as there's a chance to get an equally good positive effect from the pills, it's fine.

Also, you obviously do not know what you're talking about when it comes to roguelikes. They've never been about being "fair". They've always been very punishing and difficult. All of those games you listed are great games, but they aren't true roguelikes.

I want to complain about the lack of realism in this game about a naked kid destroying turds and abortions with his tears.

I mean what kind of portrayal of mental illneses is this. And explosive diarrhea is not really explosive! Seriously so ignorant.

So you think amnesia is unfair? Well, try challenge 10.
