I don’t know if D3 or Spore was a bigger letdown to me. I think I idolized Will Wright more than Jay Wilson at the time and D3 is less cynical...

"gently caress that loser", to david brevik, the creator of d1 and d2, after everyone hated his lovely take on diablo lol. only after he got fired did D3 start to turn around in a big way and get rid of most of the AIDS. what a loving rear end in a top hat

Spore was the first PC Game That's Got The Depth Of A Mobile Game that I played IMO... Just without the in game purchases because it wasn't that era yet.

Maybe not cynical but I felt so much more insulted by Spore. lol

Just realized that Spore was one of the last times I ever played a SimSomething/Tycoon kind of game which used to be my favorite.

You should try the new Jurassic Park one... it’s pretty barebones but it’s really pretty and I’m hooked on it.

A couple of years ago I pulled out an old laptop that had SimTower installed on it and I meant to just check it out for a couple of minutes but when I looked up it was nighttime and I had a four star tower on my hands

I bought simearth at a garage sale without a manual as a kid and could not comprehend the UI at all and had no idea if what I was doing was even a game but I would start new files and just watch the animal populations change volume randomly on the screen for hours.

playing D3 for the first time was like sending one of your parents to the hosptial and they come back speaking broken english in a different accent while trying to sell you pills. they eventually made it into a b-tier ARPG, though.

Sim Farm is hype even though IIRC it’s not a William Wright masterpiece.

I don’t know if he made that one but based on the special edition Content on SC2000 Will Wright’s whole philosophy was making games like a suite of tools for making a universe. Win.
