A modern day one would be polygonal and look worse.

Well, that's why I didn't chose an image from Ceasar IV, but I think we are at the point where it can look as good with polygons.

Anon 1701 is probably your best bet.

So sad that city builders/management sims are pretty much only developed as mobile fodder now. We're getting a bit of a resurgence but they're too influenced by survival/DF themes for my tastes.

Oh yeah, I love Anno. But they went the future way with Anno 2070 and I didn't like that at all. And the latest Anno is also free-to-play, which sucks.

 

[Zaph]

Yeah, I kept thinking of Caesar during the Game of War part and it made me sad. That could look so good with today's technology!

Look at this beautiful 1998 fucker:

Yep all those Superbowl games look terrible and they are barely games. They are just ways to fill up bars and you can do that quicker if you pay money.

The commercials are the worst part; they remind me of toy and kid's cereal commercials played during cartoons: everything is exaggerated and narrative/adventure elements are pulled out of asses that are nowhere in the final product.

AND IT'S FOR ADULTS. LEGAL ADULTS FALL FOR THIS.

Yeah, I noticed that too, but then I remembered that Dota 2's heroes are all ripoffs of Warcraft characters, which is a series that got its start by ripping off Warhammer.

ART ASSET INCEPTION.

the question is are they more or less game than The Order 1886

Well...okay, if you're cool with it. How do I get a Steam key?
If you'd like a key for the game, make a post in this thread *****WITH A TITLE*****. I don't care what the title is, just use one. Don't claim more than one copy! You may, of course, give or gift the key to a friend. We have EviLore and Cheesemeister assisting with an automated distribution system, so don't worry about that.

We'll be giving away keys in two waves...one wave after 24 hours, and one wave after 48. No keys will be given out beyond that point.

Yeah, I know, what I meant was it'd be cool to see GB do a QL of the game. Maybe Vinny could try to overcome his trauma from that terrible voice controlled A.I. game.

Edit: I see they've given the game some coverage, so maybe there are good odds they're planning on doing one.

 

[fuzzyset]

Man, I've seen GB play some bad games, but I've never heard such disdain from Jeff as in this mobile game QL. It's understandable, but the hate is real.

Spoiler

These games do look pretty awful.

Everything in Game of War looks like a banner ad. Clash of Clans at least has some art direction. I can't tell if the mobile gaming bubble has burst or will burst or if this is just a stark illustration of the frivolousness of all video games.

To be honest, they mostly remind me of other video game ads.

 

[FStop7]

Wow Heroes Charge is blatantly ripping off DOTA2 heroes. Drew's team was female Kunka, Zeus, QoP, Lina and Enchantress

Somewhere near Irvine, CA there are Blizzard artists grinding their teeth.

 

[SmithnCo]

Game of War looks like a total cluster.

 

[GolazoDan]

Game of War might be the most aesthetically appalling game I've seen in years. Looks like garbage.

 

[NumberThree]

It's not the art, it's the heroes themselves - the skill combinations are carbon copies of Dota heroes.

But as was posted earlier, in China the game is actually called Legend of Dota so at least they're doing it (somewhat) openly..

 

[Fireblend]

Game of War looks like an non-ironic meme run with all the icons it has on top of the actual game. I think that makes it worse.

 

[alr1ght]

It sucks that today's kids are going to view shit like that as games.

 

[tchocky]

My favourite Chinese ripoff remains this Mario Galaxy one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1lVpbnl6OU

This is exactly my impression. I half expected the game to display a "Play with Kate Upton discretely, My Lord" message.

That's great!

huh Starwhal hits ps4 next week

might need to play it!

Whoa, was not expecting Game of War to look that ugly. Reminds me of an early days iOS game that just had more bullshit tacked on as it got more popular.

Shrek should definitely be in the Waluigi Marching Bad.

That is the same rugby game which came out on PSN last month in europe it is only 2gb and costs £55

Ok calling Liam "ly-am" is pretty funny.

It's like calling Graham or Graeme, 'Gram'.

It sucks that today's kids are going to view shit like that as games.

Our generation grew up with flash games that were often just as poorly made. Came out just fine. Most arcade classics were built to suck in quarters. This is not new.

That game looked like some quality stuff last time I checked. I think even the devs admitted that they hoped next year's version would be better or something?

This is Game of War, Jeff.

...It looks like shit.
