Only a few more left! September 12th is fast approaching. What craziness is this! 'Final' polish is being applied, and 'final testing' also continues, but art is never done is it? You just stop, step away, and wonder.
Boy will I have some post mortems to write up about all this...
If I am not mistaken, before there was the #Civilization franchise, there was “Empire”. It was a fun game. There is #EmpireDeluxe available on #Steam, but I miss the DOS version that I played a lot.
Modern games today are usually limited to certain themes. If it's flight, it's flight. If it's tank, it's tank. If it's strategy, that's it. Carrier Command have it all.
I know, we can still play this today, however, what I miss with this game is the 2 player mode.
You just play with your friend and blast each other to friendly matches and laughter.
Being able to play 2P mode, face-to-face, is something that we have taken for granted, and now we're all just virtual avatars in online games (even online multiplayer games).
So, how about you?
Q: What are the five (5) video games from the 20th Century that you want to be able to play again today? And why?
The game came out for the Nintendo DS, and made strong use of the touchscreen. While emulators and even Osu provide other options for playing, even touchscreens can’t mimic the feel of hitting beats with a stylus. I even feel moderately the same way about games like Trauma Center, another good DS classic based on performing fantastical surgery.
Something I've noticed while playing #totk is that the further I progress, the less I want to fight enemies. It's no big deal killing everything I see when my weapon is stick with a rock attached but now that I'm running around with pristine weapons with lynel horns I don't want to use them on random enemies.
@echo64 I think the system wouldn't be too bad if there was an easier way to get the base weapons. One of the things I really dislike is hunting for specific weapons. I've only found one of those deku spears in my entire playthrough. Also, having to break my weapons killing enemies so I can get their weapons seems counter productive.
Yeah see this is the problem, you want to work towards a goal like a deku spear, then be able to use that reward as a tool to further your next goals
Botw/totk is really designed around churn and chores. Your goal is just exploring in this world and maybe the few permanent upgrades. Everything else is specifically designed to be chores and busywork as you do that.
Some people find the act of exploration, the only reward they need in the game. Some of us want more going on, but that’s not the game nintendo wanted to make.
