At first I came in here to say it was a silly idea, but almost every argument against it could be thrown against other games that have been done.


Try Dynasty Warriors. It’s a genre I don’t see much anymore, but you take control of a general and blast through tons of minions in a big battlefield, aiming for enemy generals to turn the tide of battle (reflected in overall ‘morale’).

All the games tell the same story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Obviously just play the last one available, because it has all the quality of life improvements, but I’ll only play 3, because it’s the only one that has Gan Ning with his super-pimp sword resting on top of his super-pimped no shirt tats.


I was coming here to say this. For being a ‘game within a game’ and on the PS2, they made such compelling gameplay to go with the story.




I think that’s it! It looks just as I remembered.


Help me remember this game [big mechs, small perspective]
I've been on a 'retro' kick recently, and big-mech time has rolled in. There's a game that I cannot remember the name of, but played at a friend's house like one time and I still remember how insane it was (at the time). The premise that I can remember is either 'big mechs fighting kaiju' or 'big mechs fighting other mechs in a war,' but the twist was that it wasn't from the perspective of the cockpit or third person over the shoulder. I remember you had to run around the city (I remember something like an elevated train platform) with your human character to get a visual of the fight, and then you controlled your mech while looking at it from your little human perspective. The mech fighting felt slower paced, almost like controlling a really giant construction wrecking machine. I think it was mid 00s, and maybe the xbox?

PoE took, what, four years before they decided to change it from 3 acts repeated thrice to the 10 act arc? I loved playing it from beta, but I think I’ll wait a while for PoE 2. I’ll bet 6 months is just enough for chis wisson to figure out what horror he wants to add to the rnGods, and that’s much more important than balance and polish.


I remember one (snapchat maybe?) that couldn’t block it so it just alerted the other person you took the screenshot. Maybe it’s changed in a decade.
