I agree with that last part of your comment. To me, this game did a fantastic job of showing dipshit Americans that our Founding Fathers weren’t exactly the paragons we’re believed to think they are. Honestly, how many people think about the Revolutionary War from the perspective of someone other than a white man?…

Seems like there will be plenty of clouds on the horizon but no squalls.

I guess, I just always put 2 on a shelf way above 1 in my mind. I replayed them both with the HD collection on the PS3 and still felt the same. Different opinions! Both really cool games either way.

You know, the game carries nostalgia for me like Castlevania does for other people. I still love the music and gameplay. But, it is an old school game. It doesnt have the fluid style of Zelda or Streets of Rage.

I know it’s the most basic of basics, but maybe explain that ‘shipping’ is short for ‘relationshipping’.

Eh, I don’t think the stealth aspects of XCOM 2 are substantial enough to qualify. They’re very simplistic and combat is inevitable. In RTT games like Commandos and Desperados, combat is entirely avoidable and more of a fail state than anything else. The stealth mechanics are also pretty in-depth.

Those are just games with isometric (or top-down, in the case of Frozen Synapse) cameras. Commandos, Desperados and Shadow Tactics were all squad-based stealth games that revolved around vision cones and distractions. It’s a very specific genre.

I will be linking to this article (and the previous one) for my students during the fall semester when I cover the subject of plagiarism. I try to have a new “real-world” story for them every semester, to demonstrate that plagiarism has professional and legal consequences well beyond the academic sphere, and this one…
