Deus Ex has had a huge influence on modern game design.

For the better? Seems to me the whole genre turned to shit right about then, and never really came back.

Travelling through thick forests and open plains, small villages and huge cities, you gradually begin to appreciate how staggeringly colossal Wild Hunt’s world is.

Hate the way this kind of crap…

I'm holding off on trying it but that's pretty typical of Bioware/Black Isle/Obsidian design, in my opinion. They front load content on the assumption that either most people don't finish games or…

Yeah, prolly cuz they tried to do a Bioware knockoff but forgot to bother with decent writing and voice acting. If they'd made it a dungeon crawl instead it might have worked better. The game…

The Dark Eye was pretty good. I ran out of motivation to continue with it about halfway through but they had a lot of good ideas. Just seems like most of those good ideas never lived up to their…

The "biggest problem" was the lead designer. He created a sandbox without creating a game, just like he did with Ultima Online. Oh, I think I'll log in and craft items for a couple hours, then check…

Often doing a KS first guarantees easier means to own your IP even with publisher help: writers do it all the time by releasing graphic novels first to stake their claim on the idea.

Really looking forward to this. I hope they handle tactical combat better though. I don't expect JA2 level, though I sure would like it, but there are a couple things they did in Wasteland 2 that are…

That's what I was just talking about. If it's not a tabletop wargaming system on steroids, it isn't D&D. And it won't work for games that are trying to replicate classic D&D play.

But ask the man behind so many adaptations of D&D video games to ignore his emotions and he'll tell you that the '70s fantasy tabletop role-playing game may have lost its way.

Yeah, Ultima Underworld had a mind blowingly advanced game engine at the time it was published in 1992. Even when Doom shipped the next year it seemed crude compared to UW. And they even outdid…

Wasteland 2 isn't a polished title by any measure, which shouldn't surprise anyone one bit given its size and genre. Just off the top of my head: there is a large number of typos in the game text,…

I remember Knights of Legend. I guess I must have played that in 1989 or 1990. Wasn't at all what I expected, but I had a lot of fun with it. Darklands, on the other hand, bored me to the point where…

I'm not seeing anything I'd call an RPG, in that. Looks like a fighting game with a fully scripted linear storyline.
