Sci fi in general sucks rear end but Stanislaw Lem is extremely good and it'd be cool to get a point and click Solaris adventure game or something I never like single player horror but L4D is great for on LANparties (a type of men's gathering). I don't really enjoy multiplayer unless it's with irl friends. I have pretty mixed feelings about Paradox games. Surviving Mars was really, really disappointing, I was hoping for a game where you have a handful of colonists and you have to actually manage them as individuals in a claustrophobic base, occasionally going out for expeditions and stuff, instead it's just the world's most boring city builder buried under a mountain of cliches.

y'all joke but videogame adaptations of good works of literature would be unimaginably better than adaptations of escapist genre lit. seriously, read some real books once in a while: the themes, characters, settings, even humor you love so much from sci fi and fantasy are all there, except well written and condensed to the interesting or meaningful parts

They've made well received and addictive games based on hospital administration and double-checking immigration paperwork. I don't think there's anything that couldn't make a great game, done right.

As for recent good sci fi that fits into that fantasy category, Ted Chiang's short story book is loving sharp.

He may be suggesting that adaptations are extremely easy to gently caress up, but you made what sounded like a guarantee. It's likely that adaptations of classic literature would be just as bad as adaptations of modern movies tend to be.

hackbunny posted:I guarantee it, except it will never happen. even bad games would be bad in an interesting way What do you guarantee? That a video game adapted from a classic story is going to be good? Alice in Wonderland has a lot of video game adaptations but most of them are terrible, and the same goes for various Sherlock Holmes stories. Pretty much every game adapted from H.P. Lovecraft's works is bad. "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" would be considered a classic short story if not for its age, but its game was terrible (and not in a good way)

There was one Sherlock Holmes game where the final case is a communist plot to blow up Parliament, and at the end of the case you can join them, which was badass
