“It allows us to do things without imposing the framework of a typical video game studio,” Chris Roberts said in an interview with La Presse from his home in Los Angeles. “The players who fund us expect the best game, period. We don’t have to streamline, cut jobs, or change our business model.”
This is false. I am honestly surprised about the cavalier attitude with the truth.
Just sharing, I saw a let’s play of the game and it looked cool. The concept of an MMORPG management also sounds fun (there is MMORPG Tycoon 2, but development is going at a glacial pace).
Why do you think the scores are useless? They are good starting point and/or a way to evaluate smaller indie titles that often don’t get professional reviews.
It’s a good thing that I haven’t given Paradox money since Cities: Skylines was released (solid game, but the transportation system was lacking on release).
A lot of the classical westerns were produced by Italians. Even ones with Clint Eastwood. Hence the term spaghetti Western.
Italian productions were also profilic in making Mad Max clones (post apocalyptic action) and Conan clones (sword and sandals action) in the 80s, but I am not aware of a specific name for these styles.
I’ve been following this game for several years now (I am a Kickstarter backer), it’s impressive how many different genre are combined in this game (while seemingly doing this in a manageable way).
