Rogue-like definition includes "turn-based", but there is no such thing here

So, does it mean that the game is half-rogue-like? 93.185.31.136 (talk) 21:49, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The category of rouge-like used to only include turn-based games but has since expanded to include any genre any game that centers around permadeath and randomized playthroughs. ScaredycatSlime (talk) 17:35, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

dlc coming out on 1st quarter 2023

should we add a paragraph on the dlc and how it has been delayed? Wizziamthegreat (talk) 01:13, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good news! the DLC came out ahead of schedule, coming out on March 1 2022! Orangekeet2 (talk) 18:14, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Expand?

It'd be pretty cool if you could give examples like images of certain god-runs where players are shooting out an infinite stream of missiles as to draw reader's attention further into the fact that this game has some extremely unpredictable and chaotic combinations. Maybe a shot of someone with no downtime on their Equipment (Sawmerang, Royal Capacitor, Preon Accumulator, Disposable Missile-Launcher, and Primordial Cube are among the most insane items when paired with Fuel-Cells and a Gesture of the Drowned.) Anyway, RoR2 doesn't get enough love, and I think that that's because all the trailers show rage-inducing scenarios and crippled Survivors, not pointing any fingers, but he starts with a C, ends with an O, and is an Astronaut with two tiny pew-pew guns. But yeah, other than that, I just wanted to state that I sound incredibly stupid because I've never made an article or even attempted to make one, have a nice day.

That's beyond the scope of Wikipedia - we are not a game guide, though if secondary sources talk about the chaotic nature of the game we talk in broader terms like that. --Masem (t) 23:23, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

RoR2 Story

I was thinking of adding a snippet of the games over arching story, nothing in depth just the major points like why the survivor is there and the story goals of the game. Would the game be considered a reliable source for this information or would it be preferred to find the information from a different source? If this is something that wants to be included at all. Elio.Nott (talk) 15:15, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As long as you keep it short, to like 400-700 words, and all of the details are things you can easily glean from playing the game (no hidden logs or the like) then yes, you can presume the game is the primary source for the plot and it doesn't need sourcing. If you can find secondary sources that mention the plot, its great to include those but that rarely happens. Masem (t) 15:28, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
