some good ideas in this very dormant thread that i have no memory of having started: un-retired
Quest For Glory, the first thing I bring up there, has a spiritual successor called Hero-U coming from the original creators. Hmm! X-Com, the second thing I bring up, of course got a well-received revive just a few years ago...

If somebody could come up with a take on the Suikoden series that applied the sort of self-deprecating sense of humor for its own world-building that you see in Crashlands, Lowlander et al, I would be stoked. I’d just as well see more games like Lowlander though. Chintzy DQ1 / Ultima clones that are funny and I can play on my phone. All the JRPG shit is overpriced bollocks.

As a #90skid I loved playing #StreetFighter II with my sister, so I rebuilt the #arcade classic as a multiplayer AR game to actually take it into the streets#ARKit #madewithunity pic.twitter.com/5jrwxEYq35— Abhishek Singh (@shekitup) March 14, 2018

lol @ that. some pathetically dull-minded responses too. not surprisingly so, mind you.

I would like more incredibly complicated Japanese wrestling sims with intricate fight style/reversal mechanics
Also more Hitman-style sandbox stealth games with tons of moving parts and multiple elaborate solutions to stumble across; maybe in a different kind of setting idk

the preponderance of shitty clone games is actually what happens when the means of game production are too widely available. anyone in the world can make a pixel strategy game, only the most balling $$$$$ company can make e.g. gta 6

I found myself googling games like simpsons hit & run yesterday

there were always shitty clone games tbh - look at all the awful no-name platformers for the NES or whatever. and it's not like you need a huge budget to make something original or interesting. surely what's driving the ubiquity of certain types of games is how they can be monetized, click to spend a dollar to get a magic axe or whatever the bullshit deal is. still funny how relentlessly similar they are in genre. like... you know you could clone kingdom rush but not have it be in medieval fantasy times right? do it with vampires or zombies or bacon or some bullshit like that, you'll differentiate yourself from the pack and really get rich off the same suckers.

i'm a Finnish sudent of game development and went to a IGDA lecture where SuperCell told that they don't inow why but it seems your game sells better of you have a screeming dude on the thumbnail— 🦑Squidy Daddy🦑 (@NyrkkiErkki) March 20, 2018

differentiation is a risk, better to just do the same thing. also ideas are hard

I wish there were more 2D base building games that also had boss fights. if that wasn't clear from the two game-specific threads I talk to myself in more than the others.
also I kinda think the gambit system in FF12 was the best rpg party combat mechanic ever and that should be in all of them. which reminds me to go get xenoblade chronicles 2 like ciderpress said.
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 22 March 2018 01:02 (six years ago) link
xenoblade is nothing like any FF game even 12 tbh
― ciderpress, Thursday, 22 March 2018 01:10 (six years ago) link
I thought you said the combat was a little like the gambit system? I'm easily confused. Anyhow I was not aware that mine is apparently a popular opinion: https://csgmagazine.com/2017/05/27/final-fantasy-xii-the-zodiac-ages-gambit-system-is-the-greatest/
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 22 March 2018 01:16 (six years ago) link
i definitely wouldn't have been the one who made that comparison
xenoblade combat is like some weird mix of a MMO or MOBA and a combo brawler, where your character auto-attacks and you have abilities on cooldowns but eventually you're also trying to combo and animation cancel all your abilities into each other. it's pretty slow and rhythmic for a real-time system but still faster paced than a turn based system. it's hard to describe accurately since it's so unique relative to other JRPGs.
― ciderpress, Thursday, 22 March 2018 03:27 (six years ago) link
it also makes heavy use of QTEs, but in a good way? it's very weird
