#10 Does anyone else remember the "Kid Park" units that were in malls in the 70's? A big plexiglass fishbowl with benches around the outside edge, a cluster of TV's each playing a different cartoon in the centre and a snackbar outside. You could drop your kids in there for a couple of bucks and shop unhindered.

#5: My answer is also Vice City in 2003, and of course all I really did was walk around and kill people for money. The notion of doing any of the missions was foreign to my 13-year-old brain until I bought my own copy of San Andreas on Amazon when I turned 17.

VC was my first and still only GTA game, and my brother and I beat the ever loving crap out of that game. All missions, all collectibles, all cars, all properties, everything. And a healthy helping of unhinged destruction whenever we got our hands on the really good weapons and military vehicles

For those unfamiliar, this was a Sims-clone with nudity. Actually a very solid game. Came out before Sims 2 and looked better. It was made by a tiny studio, who cleverly kept the scope in check by limiting the game to young adults sharing an apartment. No house building (only walls, furniture, decoration), no ageing, no kids. Not much depth, but slick UI, it ran great on hardware at the time despite the excellent visuals and on top of that there were naughty bits. The sequel was even better.

In the age of Wicked Whims for Sims 4, both are long obsolete, although I sometimes long for their simplicity. Sims 4 has, just like its predecessors, become quite an unwieldy beast. Singles 2 had a small modding community as well, but of course nowhere near to the same degree as the Sims. Its main selling point limited its distribution outside of Germany, where both had a 16+ rating (I got my copies on game magazine discs), despite full frontal nudity and explicit sex - we're not prudes.

A DM (and game creator’s) job is to make players put in enough effort and investment to feel worth from the time spent.
A DM essentially builds toy block cities for toddler kaiju. Of course they can wreck it faster than you built it, often times that is the point: to derive joy from their spirited interaction. Sometimes they’ll slay the princess and marry the dragon, sometimes they will save the world, but if they are having fun, you did something right, probably a lot of things.

Have you considered emergent storytelling? Work with the players, let them describe them, their histories, their interactions, their loving attachments to NPCs and places...and then when they screw up, make an NPC suffer needlessly, guess who or what they'll go after first. Want to make it worse? No one wants to help, because they believe the PCs are the villains. After all, the only difference between an Adventurer and a murder hobo is personal consequences.

Ah. In that case, use ninjas. They kill the person before the players get the chance to. OR flip it on its' head: Make EVERY kill a way that somehow managed to benefit the world, but not the players. Kill the guard? Corrupt. Kill the king? Tyrant dictator. Kill the orphanage? Trafficking. Eventually the players will begin to question the lunacy of it, and at some point, their own actions. THEN you reveal it was all a ruse by a trickster god, a la "Q". The difficulty is avoiding the self-insert.\

That game had a tiny default FOV combined with extremely blurry post-processing and (on console) a choppy frame rate. That's basically the trifecta of videogame-induced nausea.

At least on PC, you can fix the FOV and shouldn't have to deal with a low frame rate.

There's also a fan-rework of the leaked 2001 Duke Nukem Forever available now (not finished yet, but already very impressive). This is the "true" DNF in my eyes:

Lighten up, Francis. It's a joke based on a generalization, and not based on "hating our wives" at all. There are plenty of just-fine jokes out there (including on this site) about the things that husbands often do that drive their wives nuts too.

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

What I don't get is how and why husbands are hating accompanying their wives to clothes shopping. Shouldn't you be at least somewhat interested in what your wife is wearing, perhaps share your opinions on items with her, maybe suggest something that would look good on her?

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

That's where I'm at, too. My wife and I try hard to appreciate what the other person likes. I was never into fashion at all, but I also never complained about going clothes shopping with her, and honestly after a while I started getting interested in men's fashion. I'm not an amazing dresser, but I'm a hell of a lot better than I used to be. I'm not saying it has to be that way, but I think it's stuff like this that brings a lot of value to a relationship.

You're like those people that still go on about old fallout titles with shityy gfx and massive gameplay issues, sure through rose coloured glasses these games were good, but then newer titles with updated gfx came out and smashed them in sales for good reason. Tldr, Skyrim and Fallout 76 are better then their previous titles in their series.

No its just the difference between generations of game engines and innovations is quite stark, optimisations, qol, even basic things for combat such as jumping, I've been gaming since the late 80s. Played the first fps (wolf3d), the first rts (Dune2), so its not like I havent had a fair amount of time to form this pov on it. Newer isnt always better, but for some game franchises it is.

I mean, it's a classic, but there's a reason the series only achieved true mainstream success with Skyrim. Morrowind is a clunky, complex beast with some serious issues (like combat and poor presentation). It took me six attempts to get into it at the time. I know that Skyrim is a relatively shallow RPG theme park by comparison, but this doesn't make it a bad game.

Some sales figures: Morrowind sold about 4 million copies, Oblivion 9.5 million and Skyrim breached the 60 million mark last year.

2 years ago | Likes 33 Dislikes 6

Morrowind is a game filled with soul and passion. Skyrim is a game that contains some leftover dregs of that, but watered down to appeal to the lowest common denominator to maximize sales. Basically, capitalism means selling your soul for money, and Skyrim is a prime example. Even Oblivion is still decent.

2 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Oblivion has some of the best quests in the series (remember the painting?), but the world design in particular is utterly dull, as are the dungeons, which were all created by a single person. Skyrim improves massively on these aspects alone. I think Oblivion should be criticized far more for watering down the series, both in terms of gameplay and design.

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's not really a fair comparison. Morrowind launched when gaming was still relatively niche on a mere two platforms, Oblivion heralded the 360 generation which kicked off mainstream gaming as we know it, and then Skyrim hits the market arguably at its peak, riding the hype of the two previous landmark games to 40 times the audience. It's on every major platform available since it's release. None of them are bad, but MW is a vintage mustang and Skyrim is a Ford Focus.

2 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 2

Comparing sales isn't the best indicator imho. Morrowind is a 2002 game that released only on PC and XBox IIRC, while Skyrim is a much more recent game (2011 originally, then 2013, 2016, 2017, 2021...) that has released on PC, 3 different XBoxes, 3 different Playstations, and the Switch.
