None. We need less rehashes and more fresh IPs.
Post like this slow progress by letting devs think we want the same shit over and over.
I've got probably 9,000 hours on different variants of the Civ franchise over my lifetime, assuming I played Civ V and VI the same amount as the other four. I've got 1,600 hours in Factorio and probably the same amount in KSP.
My point being that some of us kinda do want the same shit over and over.
I haven't really played since 4 but I played 1-4 quite a bit.
And people like you are slowing the progress of gaming.
If you want to play a game you used to like, just play it.
Have you made any games?
Which means I wouldn't be buying new games, which means game makers don't have a market, which means no more new games.
so you think developers are just setting aside great new ideas because of random internet posts? gimme a fucking break.
I want to see an adaptation of Naked Lunch as a video game that starts out as a hard-boiled neo-noir detective game, becoming a surreal waking nightmare much like the book, and ending with becoming an endless randomly-generated flight from the cops as you evade pursuit for accidentally killing your wife during a game of William Tell.
This has to be a point-and-click adventure, Sierra-style.
