obyknven Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 French gamedev's make notable games also in later 80s - early 90s. Especially games from Loriciel, they have excellent atmosphere/setting and plot. Many of these games even never translated to english language and not so much info you can find about them in Internets, but you can try . Postapocaliptic "Kristor" and "Zone" make Fallout and Wasteland looks childish. Epic Adventures in "Tera" and "Karma" Space Opera "StarVega" Prehistoric life in "Sapiens" These games are true rarity.

You are right, we aren't very good at software development for gaming purposes.

Humanoid Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 The department I work in has a disproportionately high number of Saffer ex-pats working for it.

Humanoid Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Well, not so much a language as a (non-relational!) database management system with its own proprietary user language attached - the rather prosaically monikered "Model 204 User Language".

Walsingham Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 "Model 204 User Language" sounds like some kind of terrifying apartheid era genetic modification program.

Amentep Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 The constant need to evaluate a works adultfulness is something I mostly see in regards to video games, science fiction and fantasy novels, comics, and movies that are aimed at men. Its because adult men feel a need to justify why they like things perceived as being "childish" because society expects them to put childish things behind them when they reach adulthood and start providing for families leaving their only avenue of self expression being to paint their torso in two colors as a way of showing support to the local teams on game day. RE: the thread in general - I wish there was more depth on why these are super-great "epic games" instead of listing games and slapping up screen shots. Also I really think its hard to justify a list of "most epic games" which includes games that haven't been released and thus the epic/lack of epic qualities are entirely impossible to evaluate. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Children's game serve as a way for children to explore their potential and as social conditioning that lets them know their place in a group. When they reach adulthood those game serve as an outlet for their unrealized potential, their frustration and as a means of escapism from an otherwise mundane existence. So just like all women still want to be little princesses, so do most men still want to be warriors and the like. On the thread: Better if the games a have no explanation, the explanation probably carries a virus. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
