melkathi Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) Meh, about the Dune game. Devs making a huge deal about having Atreides in green because they are "true to the book" then make Harkonnen red instead of blue (or blue/orange). Some of the advisors also are the farthest any depiction of the characters has ever been from the book. Take your liberties. But then don't spend all that effort patting yourself on the back for having green uniformed Atreides because you are staying true to the book. Water-fat devs...

marelooke Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) Well, it was bound to happen. Some new MMO launched (Lost Ark), and it's not available in Belgium/Netherlands due to the in-game gambling, or "surprise mechanics" if you're EA. Can't wait for the EU to finally get its **** together and ban this garbage outright, union wide (before any game I might care about is affected, preferably ) Edited February 15, 2022 by marelooke

Eh, so far nothing of value is being lost. Which, really, isn't surprising given the types of games that tend to include these "mechanics". Still, would be nice to stomp this predatory behaviour out. Last I heard quite a few countries were looking into updating their legislation to deal with predatory practices in games, not the least of which being France and the UK.

It does seem like the lack of biome diversity will be an issue. I've read pretty much every Robert Howard story, so bringing his vision of the world to life was a big deal for me. I'm not nearly as well versed in Dune and all the houses, so I have no clue what it might look like. It just doesn't seem like there is enough info to even make a judgement at this point.

HoonDing Posted February 17, 2022 Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Last good Dune game was the adventure/strategy game from Cryo Interactive. The pure strategy Dune games are all crap. Funny enough I bought the 2001 "action adventure" Dune game "Frank Herbert's Dune" on release and even finished it. It's one of the worst games of all time.

HoonDing Posted February 17, 2022 Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) You're supposed to be stealthy in the game. IIRC if you're detected, you can't even fight back with your tiny krys knife even though Paul Atreides is supposed to be a prana bindu master. You're forced to stand around until your health is low enough to be able to do "the Voice" Bene Gesserit shtick which stuns the enemy. Then you can instakill them. Now that I think of it, "Stolen" was another stealth game with such terrible design decisions. I finished that one too. Edited February 17, 2022 by HoonDing 1 The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
