Just a weird girl
Frankly I don’t think this is a realistic option that will lead to anything but more long drawn out protracted warfare
Spore was really cool… Until space stage which was just too boring!
I was extremely invested in spore pre release and with how much was cut, it could never live up to my expectations…
It’s a mod, but the original long war mod for XCOM 2012 holds a very special place in my heart. You basically have to have reference material open because of how large the research trees got, along with just no ability to really in game teach you about any of the mechanical changes.
Maybe not quite as sprawling as something like a paradox game or dwarf fortress, but LW also demands you fully understand the complexities it introduces over the base game or you can find yourself in unwinnable or extremely difficult to pull out of positions, and you easily end up playing tons of missions in a doomed session if you miss, say, upgrading your interceptors enough quickly enough to pop the overseer UFO or find yourself in a massive resource pit because you sold all your elerium early and now you can’t keep up techwise.
The sequel mod for xcom2 never to grabbed my attention the same way long war 1 did.
I really enjoy enter the matrix, it’s a little janky but it’s got some pretty cool for the time set pieces and I think the entire idea of the hacking mode is interesting, if very weird. For a licenced early 2000s video game I thought it was a step above most of the stuff in that field.
The driving sections are… Not very fun though.
They’re just ridiculously overpriced. Yes yes yes I know I know pc gaming good but you’re literally spending the cost or more of a PS5 on a graphics card, it’s just not competitive in the gaming sphere. I know I’m not looking to upgrade any time soon
