signalnoise I'm sorry because you're probably good people but the fact of the matter is this topic sucks rear end, dude!


It's sucks a lot and we don't wanna do it anymore, dude!


We had several pages about it and they went nowhere and it SUCKS, DUDE!!!

There's a pretty simple solution if you want to move forward and it's just saying "yeah, I guess that could be alright" but people would apparently find it important enough to use ridicule in their opposition. If you take a topic and ridicule it, telling people they're being disingenuous or making absurd comparisons, when those people have a personal connection to that topic, you can expect them to take it personally. This is the longest I've gone in this thread, my memory anyway, without making a joke. There many things to make jokes about in games, but this isn't one of them. I get that you're just trying to right the ship or whatever so you can get back to topics that are more fun, but the way you're going about it is dismissive of people, not just of the topic.

The problem they have been trying to solve for the past 4 pages, yes. That problem. The one they just described.

The only pause I have with this is the tendency to think of a game's difficulty as a modular thing you can just plug numbers into and call it a day instead of something where every facet of the game is branching off from a core design.

The last of us 2 had a good system imo where you could adjust specific parts of the difficulty. So maybe your problem was that the stealth was too hard or that the enemies were too aggressive or you just never had any ammo and you could just those specific things but not everything else.

People complain about the giant floating arrow that points to the next location you should go, but it really does make the whole gameplay experience so much smoother. I can get lost in real life, I don't need to get lost in a video game.

That being said, my idea of a perfect game would be if everyone designed maps and the hints for them as if people were playing morrowind, and provided an optional giant floating arrow just so you don't have to open gamefaqs. The giant floating arrow has made modern game designers pretty lazy - but it's definitely better than the way things were before.

100%. Add the markers as an accessibility option or something.

IMO the RTS genre fell out of favor over time because it never evolved enough. Starcraft, Command and Conquer, Total Annihilation, and Age of Empires were all made during the infancy of the genre yet everyone keeps trying to copy them like they were eternal masterpieces and not just products of their time.

I think publishers moving away from isometric games (also 2D ones) in general had something to do with it, too.

I don't really think those games qualify as the infancy.

The worst thing about mobas is they are so addicting and dopamine driven that if you get the moba bug it just kinda ruins other games and makes them feel hollow
