Concept pitch: Ye Olde Gamer Theatre

It's like a regular theater except half of the stage is taken up by a big screen that displays all of the characters' dialogue. You can read Hamlet's entire soliloquy by the time he's only 1/4 of the way through giving it, and then play Angry Birds on your phone or something while he catches up.

You were playing it wrong.

I mean, unless you wanted to be a dipshit loser. Then that was your choice.

the death of the Myth games after 2 and its disaster launch made me very sad, I loved them

I played 3, it wasn't good enough to call itself Myth

Speaking of myths, where are the Black and White spiritual sequels and knock offs?

They're doing another Civ right, which feels pointless what're they gonna do change the shape again, make turns take longer with nonsense like leave it alone. Instead, take an existing Civ and add a giant unruly demigod Cow you need to train like a dog to be good, or bad, and it stomps around tearing things up or making you new forests with their fertilizer.

As fun as a new Black and White would be, I think I would be more interested to see what a Giants: Citizen Kuboto remake would look like on a proper modern game engine.

A turn-based fantasy world that has Civilization levels of polish is really what I'd want, we don't get a lot of those. Endless Legend was supposed to be that but none of the Endless games ever clicked with me, for some reason it feels like their UI or something is completely repelling me, conceptually their games should be right up my ally but they're never fun (with the exception of Dungeon of the Endless, which ruled)

black & white 2 was much better than 1 because at least you didnt have to do the same action over and over (with diminishing returns) to get new towns

i don't understand how people dislike black & white. i thought (almost) everything about it was so delightful and fun and enthralling. i spent dozens of hours in the first level alone. then again, there wasn't much of a point in playing the other ones.

i agree that they should have just let it be a sandbox/puzzle game and not bothered with the half baked rts elements. even so, my unpopular opinion is b&w is extremely good. like, one of the best games ever made

Let's not go that far, the later levels were a slog to play through and they steal your pet too which is like half the gameplay gone. It then turns to a really tedious RTS with less mechanics than populous. You probably just experienced it at the right age of 10-15.
