Shadow Cities was really fun back in the day. Despite coming out so long ago, I think it was the best location based game. I'm disappointed and a bit surprised that nobody ever recreated it. Niantic tried, but they never really captured the magic of it. Pokemon go was fun for a short time, but got boring fast. I think it was a huge missed opportunity to not have actual Pokemon battles, especially PvP.
They eventually got around to it, but by that time the game was so overmonetized that getting anything good to use in PvP required a bunch of cash or all of your time grinding.
I mostly play on the Xbox, not very often. so when I do, it’s the update game. I play update for a few minutes, get bored then go do something else. By the time I finish there’s no more time to play and I forget until a couple months when I only get to play update again.
“Oh hey, the console doesn’t need to update this time! And this 5-year old game is the one I just updated last month, and there hasn’t been any news or anything about the game.”
needs to update
“Wow, these minor bug fixes are (probably) amazing. Especially when it’s 300MB!”
When you’re saying “real world” you mean mobile devices where your actual position dictates your position in the game world, right?
I really like the idea of these. Ingress started out cool, but didn’t hold my interest. I think the actual play loop kinda sucked, but it built up a decent community around the novelty.
Yeah, location based as in you and the objects in the game are based on real world coordinates. The “grid” for the game is overlayed onto the real world
Same ingress lost its appeal after a while. The gameplay loop was shallow and repetitive. It was based around rather fast gameplay loops, that would resolve, and then you rinse and repeat.
I made some cool friends though, it was cool to meet people at capture points.
I’m aiming for much MUCH more depth here. Fundamentally different from ingress of similar games, aside from being location based. More industry and exploration, with a more typical loop around economy, growth, and advancement.
I like to spend all day at work thinking about how much fun I’m going to have playing a certain game when I get home.
Then, when I finally make it home and sit down in front of my computer, I’ll “get to it in a minute” for the next 3 to 4 hours until suddenly it’s time to eat and go to bed. Repeat 5 days a week.
Was playing this but my steamdeck is bugging out when going outside in the plain of oblivion after talking to the guy in the round cage. switched to skyrim. the more I play these the more morrowind was like peak elder scrolls for me. I wish they had been smarter with the simplification to not lose the rp aspects as much. I want the temple and mages guild teleports as well as the city conveyances but I could see being able to access them from anywhere once unlocked.
