  • While the moment mentioned doesn’t present any immediate problems, it opens up the “well since he put the cart wherever he wanted I can do the same” mindset, we humans learn by example, not all people will stop and acknowledge where and why they are leaving the cart there, they will just do by convenience, we are built this way.

    Putting the cart in the correct place is a social agreement, that forgo the convenience of a few to give it to the most.

    Imagime if literally all carts were everywhere on the parking lot (an extreme), it would be utter chaos and make massive inconveniences (like people having to remove it from a parking spot to park their car).

    The silver lining is, not all conveniences work in all scales.







  • I personally wouldn’t say “gameplay is the most important feature”, but it’s intertwined.

    A game is a piece of art, and a piece of art passes a message or a sentiment to the end user.

    Some don’t need gameplay at all, like the novel-like games with eventual quick time events like Until Dawn, just nice graphics and an appealing story are enough to pass on what the creator wants.

    Other games require heavy focus on gameplay, remembering enemiew behaviors and learning a plethora of items and skills so the player can even experience thee world around him, a good example would the Souls series.

    There’s even games in between, like Cyberpunk, where the graphics and storytelling are the most important aspect, and the gameplay is there but is not important enough to pass on the message. And vice versa.

    The worst a game can be is “meh”, or leave you uninterested on any of its aspects. Haven’t played this SW game, but if I compare to the the SW works, the focus should be either good action (like Jedi Academy game) or a deep and interesting story and world building (like the Andor series). If the only thing It has is graphics, then I can see how uninteresting it can be.





  • If you want a similar minded game but a different thematic an genre, try Munchkin.

    It’s a really good card game with goofy things like a weapon called Swiss Halberd (yes, it’s like a Swiss knife but pole arms), or the monster “Amazon” which do not attack female characters, or the “Whine at the GM”, which gets you a free level.

    If you have a small group of friends to play with, it’s a blast.





  • Its not said that they need devs to target home machines, it says they need to give the resources so people can host it themselves, period.

    Also, tell me you’ve never worked with scalable infrastructure without telling me you have never worked with it.

    There are dozens, if not hundreds of games, including MMOs, that are privated hosted, and by that I don’t mean hosted in a basement potato.

    Look at Ragnarok servers, there are hundreds of them, DEDICATED servers, with all the newest technology, for an old game nonetheless.

    Have you ever seem how massive the infrastructure are for those big minecraft multi-servers? Thousands and thousands of concurrent players.

    Im not asking you to research what you’re talking about or anything, but if you clearly dont know what you’re talking about, refrain from sharing your opinion so you may not negatively influence a similar minded person.
