Is this the one where they increase the DRM software so much that they can insert viruses into the machines of whoever pirates it?
My only beef against Ancient Greece setting is the apparent shortage of pants.
Titan Quest might not have been much more than a Diablo 2 clone, but I did enjoy the setting. Wouldn't mind having a greece/roman setting with focus on the different gods, that wasn't an action RPG.
Are aliens actually completely out of the question in hard sci-fi? I am pretty sure that there are some good hard sci-fi aliens. I enjoyed the Trisolarans in the Three Body Problem.Good that hard sci-fi is winning the poll. The chances are small though, because it will require doing some decent research and most devs don't like that. Also, hard sci-fi means no fantasy elements (including aliens, for example, as I understand it) so such a game could attract only a small audience.
Hear, hear! I'm tired of Hitler wins, etc. I would add Confederate victories as well.
I want to bea dragonGilgamesh.
I'm on it: near future, post-collapse, nothing spectacular. I still feel it's kinda lame 'cause the "decline and fall of western civilization" thing is overplayed, but that's my perverse brand of sci-fi: our technology is shit that's gonna fail us. I could just as well switch to a Modern Day or Historical setting, anywhere on the fringes of society, but the setting won't make or break the game.A post-apocalyptic setting that is not set after a nuclear war or some comet/meteor collision.
To run the full counter argument - not many people play rpg games in comparison to action games, so should rpggames not exist? Just because there are a lot more pansies who only like fairy stories, should all rpg games be pansy games? Is that what we've come to?I dunno. You seem to praise RECON to high heaven, but it's virtually unknown, and unmentioned here in Codex. There must be a reason it's so unmentionable.
Convince me why it's worth trying, then. I am open minded.
(Side note: example of good games get ignored is Ring of Red, and to certain extent, Hammer Sickle. HS is because it's about Soviet agent so they spake of Stalin with respect. RoR is because its alternate history remind people of Two Koreas, Two Chinas, and Communist Japan, so the gamer base boycott it.)
Dark high-fantasy steampunk western-opera set in alternate prehistoric near future.... with cats.
Its why Fallout uses metal, glass and even wood where we would just use plastic.
