The older I get the, the more I disconnect myself with other “gamers.” I just don't understand this mindset, ****ing nut jobs.

I’m sure it could use work, but I think if they gave you a heading, it’d be too much info. Hey, imagine if From Software made it! The pawprints would probably be something else entirely and possibly mean nothing. Also they would only appear in front of moving cars or in dangerously swift flowing streams. Maybe halfway…

“Yes, it worked! The app fainted!

...wait.”

Damn, you beat me to the punch! But yeah, it was a very fun system in Endless Legend so I’m looking forward to it in Civ 6.

I can tell you that Warlock: Master of the Arcane did that before Endless Legend, and that I wouldn’t be surprised if other games hadn’t done it even earlier.

True, but it doesn’t bother me one bit. That’s how game design works. You come up with something, someone else adds to it, you take their improvements and add to that. Look at Tomb Raider and Uncharted. Uncharted is strongly inspired by the Tomb Raider series, and then the Tomb Raider reboot took a lot from Uncharted,…

Borrowing motifs and mechanics from other material is fine, so long as you do them justice and, possibly, better.

Given that Endless Legend (and every other 4X game) wouldn’t exist without Civ, I see nothing wrong with Civ taking ideas from it, ha!

It is clear that Final Fantasy has changed direction pretty significantly since I first encountered it in 1990, and that’s okay.

It’s also clear that I’m no longer the target market for the franchise, given its shift in focus/direction, and that’s okay too.

Here’s hoping everyone who’s looking forward to this game will…
