Honestly, I kind of miss the idea of what “Life By You” could’ve been, as it had the game designer for The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 behind it. That game could’ve been a return to form and an actual threat to EA’s watered down and extremely pricey Sims Slop. If only the team Rod Humble had assembled were able to gel their concept into a reality, with Paradox’s backing, could’ve created something magical. Alas, it was not to be…I still imagine the potential for player driven storytelling that Life By You was offering!
Orcs Must Die Unchained. Pretty good game overall, was trying to be a league of legends type of game with 3D TD, it didn’t get a player base going, so they swapped it over to a solo game, the maps were fun as hell and picking through 10+ characters was fun, it was really dynamic and the endless mode was very fun to push. They ended all support, it’s offline. Sucks. OMD 3 came out, it’s not even a quarter the game. Theirs 4 different player characters, they are all humans. All enemies are orcs or other bad guy type of mobs, unchained had human enemies and a few other variations, there’s no where near the number of maps and most maps play in a really predictable way. In Unchained there were maps you needed to build a kill box, sell it, move it, all to get one wave killed, at least on the first few waves, anyway. It almost scratches the itch, but not well. I’m honestly perplexed on why they didn’t just include the characters and maps from unchained.
Anyway. It’s a very ‘‘there are dozens of us!’’ Game. So. I don’t expect much here.
OMG it’s wild that you would say that because I’m actually reading (listening to really) Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson as I’m making this! If you’ve never read it a pretty big plot point is a Brown Note image that looks like noise but that will scramble people’s brains if they have enough of an affinity for computer languages.
EverQuest Next. That game would have been the best MMO ever, if they would’ve stuck with it. Unfortunately, SOE got bought out and the new owners were whackos who didn’t care. It’s sad because nothing has come close since then. Only GW2 and ESO have even a fraction of the concepts of EQN.
