Did you ever thought we will become what we are?
That’s mostly what I do with new games. Whenever there’s an offer, I ask myself “Am I going to play this for at least one or two hours right now?” If the answer is no, then I don’t buy it.
That’s not the same for local cooplayer games, though I have way enough to fulfill two lifetimes, and recently we’re just playing through the Wii catalog.
(I didn’t want to be dismissive of this approach, I was just airing my grievances)


One reason Subnautica came out better through the years was the relationship built between the developers and players (beta testers?) by relying on transparency and active feedback. Subnautica was a big mess during the first iterations, and a lot changed and improved thanks to this collaboration IMO.
I remember when they explained that the game won’t have weapons and I scratched my head as I wanted to play an undersea Natural Selection game. I was wrong then, and I hope we’re all wrong and a better game (or at least similar one) comes out of this.


Then I pick Ultima 8. It felt like Crudader No Remorse but with fantasy trappings (because it didn’t play like Ultima at all).
That said, it is janky, full of bugs and incomplete (clearly there was a second part that never came), but I had fun and at the time it felt edgy and kind of a dangerous and misterious travel.


And a fantastic soundtracks for both Genesis and specially SegaCD: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLREYF4RnDeQC-WkVczOsvfJKwXUGMNnK8 or https://id.420129.xyz/playlist?list=PLREYF4RnDeQC-WkVczOsvfJKwXUGMNnK8
Oh so like a remake of the old G-Police or at least in its spirit.
I still play the original so I’m very happy to hear abput this one.
