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

2019-10-27 21:32:30 UTC  

Well that's because they didn't make much

2019-10-27 21:32:48 UTC  

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

2019-10-27 21:33:12 UTC  

Arcania and Fall of Setarrif

2019-10-27 21:33:44 UTC  

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

2019-10-27 21:33:56 UTC  

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

2019-10-27 21:34:49 UTC  

@Xaverius 13th Century.

2019-10-27 21:35:34 UTC  

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.

2019-10-27 21:35:48 UTC  

Fair enough

2019-10-27 21:36:14 UTC  

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

2019-10-27 21:37:04 UTC  

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

2019-10-27 21:38:04 UTC  

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

2019-10-27 21:38:38 UTC  

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

2019-10-27 21:39:01 UTC  

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>

2019-10-27 21:39:01 UTC  

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

2019-10-27 21:39:40 UTC  

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

2019-10-27 21:39:46 UTC  

I'm still hooked on Alpha Centari, myself.

2019-10-27 21:39:57 UTC  

Yeah, DK is the shit, as well.

2019-10-27 21:40:13 UTC  

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>

2019-10-27 21:40:52 UTC  

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

2019-10-27 21:42:13 UTC  

Also, Diablo has procedurally generated dungeon crawl..

2019-10-27 21:42:28 UTC  

The focus shifted to shiny graphics, I think.

2019-10-27 21:45:23 UTC  

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

2019-10-27 21:46:25 UTC  

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

2019-10-27 21:48:23 UTC  

:/

2019-10-27 21:48:35 UTC  

I hate being hipster, but yeah. I agree.

2019-10-27 21:49:01 UTC  

Also, praytell, what's a grognard?

2019-10-27 21:49:53 UTC  

(On an aside, I adapted that phraseology "praytell" after a game I was playing repeatedly used it. XD)

2019-10-27 21:55:08 UTC  

Oops

2019-10-27 21:57:48 UTC  

This is what I get for running a low Charisma character

2019-10-27 21:59:08 UTC  

Oh, "grognard" comes from tabletops and wargaming. Basically someone who sticks to old editions (but that at least means they know those well) and variously dislikes the new ones, refuses to play them or pretends they don't exist

2019-10-27 22:00:33 UTC  
2019-10-27 22:11:23 UTC  

Shit, I shoulda recognized it from context - I blame the wine. Soz. @Xaverius

2019-10-27 22:12:55 UTC  

It's cool

2019-10-27 22:44:20 UTC  

Lol.

2019-10-27 22:44:32 UTC  

I should go bar hopping more often.

2019-10-27 22:45:15 UTC  

Rather than nursing old wounds, sipping my wine on a plane or in an airport club.
