I almost wish it died with Societies as simulating each person going about their day really cuts down on what the rest of the game can do but I suppose then it really makes it feel like a living, breathing game.

I want to say it works on 10 but I dunno

I know that Skylines exists but it never captured the Sim City feel for me

also Sim City on SNES is tied with 4 for my favorite unironically no i don't know why

Though mayhaps it's a blessing. I would probably hate what they'd do to the series now.

They'll never live up to the real deal for many reasons. I feel it's a mix of nostalgia and the fact things are never quite correct. Additionally that game thrives on community and the emulators hardly have population for what I generally enjoyed when I played it; the larger scale peeee veeee peeee. Nor will it ever get better as there's several emulators and emulators for different eras of the game as SWG had three distinct systems with the NGE being more popular as of now it seems. Additionally, most folks within the emulator view PvP as not as important thus they are content with grinding and getting glowbats to jerk themselves off; of which there's nothing wrong with grinding but when you've played a lot of it it, feels like you've been there and done that along with no real incentive to work towards bettering yourself for nonexistent PvP.

Emulators though, I give them credit where credit is due as I do remember the first time that emulator opened up and it was bare bones as ever. The progress made thus far is impressive and outdid my expectations for the project as they had a lot obstacles against them to even get it functioning.

I have it on steam (not installed) and I'm pretty sure it works, I'll check

I should reinstall again Theme Hospital, if only to regret that more than twenty years later, no one will do anything like it.

Can confirm that sim city 4 deluxe (steam version) works on win 10. At least for me

this always results in arguments, but

valve is working on 3 VR titles right now that aren't "this is a demo on why you should buy a vive", and those are just the games we know about

Ikarrus · Post by **Ikarrus** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 9:17 pm #276677

Valve has changed and has lost a lot of good people so I'm fairly skeptical of anything they put out nowadays

Not that they've put out a bad game yet, per se, it's just that it's bee a really long time and companies change.

Yeah, I miss Dungeon Keeper-like games

The last one I remember enjoying was Evil Genius, which was excellent thematically but just really unpolished.

I played that last year and it was disappointing.

I'm trying my hardest to have fun here but it just doesn't have the same magic as the originals did, which I played immeditely before starting WFTO

They tried to make the narrator humerous like the older games but they seem to have flandarized him and made him more cartoonishly evil than something actually menacing.

The designs of the campaign levels I've played as well as some of the sandbox/skirmish levels felt very restrictive, so I never really felt like I was having fun building the dungeons. In DK2 I felt like I was slowly creeping out and corrupting the land, my dungeon growing organically.

WOTF ends up feeling more like a standard RTS than a base-building/management sim that I liked in Dungeon Keeper. It's not terrible, but it's also not what I was looking for.

Not even a meme, half life

2 and all its episodes made such an interesting world, and the end of Hl2E2 left us at a heart-wrenching cliffhanger. It has been years since I even considered giving a shit about this series. At this point i don't think anything they could put out would live up to Half Life's legacy

Anonmare · Post by **Anonmare** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 10:02 pm #276710

I just want a resolution. There is no way HL3 could ever live up to more than a decade's worth of hype unless it made every game come with a handwritten note saying sorry for the wait and a solid gold bar

I also want a sequel to Opposing Force

Qbopper · Post by **Qbopper** » Tue Apr 04, 2017 10:09 pm #276713

anyone saying half life is dead is delusional

I know children under the age of 12 who (unfortunately) spout HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED etc. memes

Valve has a brand that has millions of people who haven't even played a game in the series, but it still has near universal brand recognition

there is genuinely no way we will never see a HL3, though I'm not going to be o bold as to ever predict when we'll see it/if it will be good/anything beyond I know it'll happen someday

The part with the boat wasn't fun, it just took ages and the village that just had headcrabs and the crazee priest was an annoying jumping puzzle to memory. The first game had dull moments, the train maze, the vats/conveyor belt maze, I can't really remember having much fun in it but I did play it after I played HL2 since some internet people I liked were spouting memes about it still holding up and being the best garme evar.

Woo! That means it'll work right out of the box since I assume valve/EA didn't apply any patches! Ta!

Weeeell don't be so sure. I own the boxed vanilla edition (4 CDs, no Rush Hour) as well and I recall having issues making it run on win 7 (but it worked eventually, dunno what I did tho). I bought the steam deluxe edition on sale a couple years ago

I actually liked Fable 2 more than Fable 1, mainly because they cut out the god awful escort missions where you'd have to babysit helps fuck wads too stupid to even run away from enemies while being attacked. It felt a lot more open too while 1 felt pretty on rails

I mostly just liked the guns and the world felt a bit bigger. Fable 1 had easily the best magic system of any of the games, i loved finding neat new combinations for the spells and stuff. After fable 1 it basically turned into eight different colours of laser and like two utility powers

Not only I have this game, I've backed it when it was still being worked on. It's not any good.

Maybe the updates since we played helped. I'm in no rush to check it out again, though.

Best spell system I've seen in a game is Two Worlds 2.
