Actually, what happened to that game that was kinda like Chicago 1930 but with added crime empire building?

Aw yea, Empire of Sin

Hm, to be released in 2020

Oof, VR LA Noire.. but.

Then I gotta get a VR rig..

Hrm.. Omerta is a topdown set during that timeframe IIRC.

Well, honestly, part of the draw for me is the entire from Chicago thing.. >.>

Same folks behind Tropico 6.

Erm, Tropico series. XD

Well, Chicago 1930 is set in Chicago too. Obviously <:Veemote:501103628883591188>

Though, that reminds me of another toward then top of the bucket list.. Fallout Tactics.

Hm, Chicago was made by Spellbound, who also made Robin Hood: Legend of Sherwood and it was a natural evolution, since Robin Hood was pretty much like Commandos

But 11th or whichever century. Nice game.

But it occured to me I don't know any other games from them.

Sound semi-familiar.. but tip of the tongue style.

Well that's because they didn't make much

The Desperados series and one of the many, many, many Gothics

Arcania and Fall of Setarrif

I still find it hilarious how the Gothic rights and actual dev team got split between 2-3 studios so they just continued making Gothics under a different name

Hm, nonetheless, I'll add it to the mental *list*... which is a number of *lifetimes* long at this point.

@Xaverius 13th Century.

Robin Hood and his Merry Men are often portrayed as living during the reign of king John, which would place them in the early 1200's.

Fair enough

@Laucivol Feel you, pretty sure my list still has games from early 2000s on it

*Only* as far back as early 2000s. XD

Well, that's when I got me first PC so unlike my friends I hadn't much attachment to 90s games

There are some from the 80s there that're worth the thought.

Not that I don't like Blizzard classics (or, games from the time Blizzard was still Blizzard). And Heroes III is pretty much on the list of best games ever for me <:smugon:512048583806025739>

If only because of "Yeah. I beat it." cred.

And let's not forget Dungeon Keeper. That shit was fairly revolutionary

I'm still hooked on Alpha Centari, myself.

Yeah, DK is the shit, as well.

Talking about revolutionary, I like how half the spacesim games in the 90s had procedurally generated content (Daggerfall too) but it was hailed as this great new invention a few years ago <:Veemote:501103628883591188>

Yeah, the difference was dimensionality & fidelity versus the days of yore.

Also, Diablo has procedurally generated dungeon crawl..

The focus shifted to shiny graphics, I think.

I fully blame advanced 3D and 7th gen consoles for this.

They existing kinda coincided with gaming getting into mainstream and the birth of modern ways of making games, or as grognards call it, dumbing down

:/

I hate being hipster, but yeah. I agree.

Also, praytell, what's a grognard?
