honestly ever since i started getting into paradox games it's been real hard to go back to civ

civ 6 is alright where it's at now but i'd still resell it if i could

4 is good. It's hard to go back to because I am a man of fickle tastes and fragile sensibilities but

owns and the grand sense of wonder it & the (vanilla) opening cinematic instills absolutely sets the tone for the game in a way I have yet to see matched

just lofuckinl if you didn't mod 5's comparatively terrible menu music to be baba yetu as God Himself intended

and gently caress all of the 4 expansions for messing with it too. and gently caress 5's final expansion for changing the splash to being the drabbest grimdark brown industrial factory

(have i mentioned my fickle tastes???) (also while the above is the better version of the song, probably, the actual opening cinematic is way better)

does playing mario make kids monarchist reactionaries? the whole point of the games is to save princess peach and uphold her reign over the mushroom kingdom. what if republicanist toads and goombas tried to overthrow her? would mario leap to the monarchy's defense?

2. a necessarily-commerical product of huge amounts of collective labor. A game will never have a singular voice or vision, and anyone who says a game does is inevitably ignoring all the other people who contributed.

Although I think less so than it was 10 years ago. Interestingly, early games were often designed and programmed entirely by one person.

that dlc was a cool idea but it just ended up being another tedious big-number horde to fight against but for western europe

you couldn't even play as the aztecs without opening up the console wtf were they thinking

Mario would save the monarch because he's a simpleton, but I doubt he would try to save the monarchical government itself. Such concepts are likely beyond him.

A lot of that it just because of art. it used to be easy for one guy to make a game about general custer cumming on indians, but now, you'd have motion capture and textures and background to draw. it's a lot more work.

Reciever comes to mind, really great game that plays with the idea of guns as real actual guns. It's boring looking but it was like the dude who made overgrowth making the game in a week or something, loads of fun though.

You can't? I figured you could once they started colonizing. Never tried it myself.

Yes. That's just Puyo Puyo, and I strongly recommend all Puyo Puyo games. The new Puyo Puyo Tetris is amazing.

I was briefly in charge of a computer lab in grad school. I remember watching this nerd browsing League of Legends comics and fanfic instead of doing his work. He did this at least 2-3 times a week. I thought he was such a loser. I was never into MOBAs so it was all abstract warcraft anime bullshit to me.


Now my main game is Dota...
