xthetenth posted:I'd also do a lot of messy pointless deaths for player characters. And a lot of the sense of things getting worse and worse as you go on. But I'm really unclear on the meaning of "fun". It'd be cool if they had some ghostly voice that murmured "dulce et decorum est" as you spawned and then "pro patria mori" as your screen faded to black when you died.

If they don't end a chapter with the character dying over the course of minutes from a gas attack they'll be missing a hell of an opportunity. poo poo, if they didn't start off dropping bits of Kipling on you and slowly transitioning to the bitterest likes of Owen and Pound and Hemingway they'd really be missing hard on the essence of the war. 1918-1930 or so was a really, really, really dark place for a lot of people with a knack for words: quote:And Disillusion's slow corroding stain e: or quote:There died a myriad, To go from poo poo like In Flanders Fields and The Dead to In Memory of George Calderon, folks had obviously given up on things. Just full-on depressing cynicism that can only come from seeing every country in "the civilized world" decide to hold a bonfire where everyone's kid/husband/father gets to be the fuel. To circle back around to vidja games, I think they were brushing against that concept with BF 3 and 4, but kept falling short because it's tough to paint a picture of war as manifest futility when you've got Legit Evil Dude to fight against. What's WWI have along those lines? Wilhelm? Those rear end in a top hat Belgians Who Had It Coming For What They Did To Africa? Kitchener? I'd allow Beatty but let's be real here the naval combat is gonna be some on rails poo poo where you click to fire a broadside. FAUXTON fucked around with this message at 08:25 on May 7, 2016 |

Basically a world war 1 game needs those bullshit hard sequences where you repeatedly die and respawn at a checkpoint and then get unceremoniously permakilled and moved to the next character

There's a lot of shooting alright, but consistently over the heads of the guys in the trench opposite, and then you all sing l'internationale. There's controversy over a sex scene because the trip to the brothel level is so depressingly true to life it gives the player syphilis. Now I'm just thinking about George Baker, the video game. Press X to make lame pun. Try to escape the phantom yolande! Press any key to think about girls George, GIRLS

I like to think the guy would have had a mean streak, sorted his troops by obscure sectarian differences and made for the most awkward poo poo like shacking Moravians up with Presbyterians.

Excuse me while I scurry for references that aren't Flashman's Lady. GMF has managed to get the phrase "there were some odd people about in the earlies" irrevocably stuck in my head when it comes to Brooke.

That sounds like Polish dreams of what the Allies were going to do for them: "All the big British battleships and American aircraft carriers are going to sail over the horizon and they're going to take away all the bad people who are killing us and everything's going to be alright because they promised, and they started this war for us, and surely they wouldn't leave an Ally like us in the dust while thousands of our brave young men are fighting for them!"

World War 1 game should have random gas attacks, where you need to perform a complecated sequence of keystrokes in order to put on your gas mask. After a short time limit, if you fail, you die

Ainsley McTree posted:This game is why God made greys and Browns Yeah, but the first chapter or two really needs to be that sort of upbeat CoD-style thing in the bright colourful fields of France. Give them some time to actually charge across no-man's land and give the Boche a taste of cold steel, let them think it's all fun and games, and then you start ramping up the oppressively brown and grey mud and imminent death.
