I thought it was dumb enough when Age of Empires jumped on the bandwagon. But they managed to find something even less in-keeping with the original game’s themes…
The aoe thing wasn’t too bad tbh. It wasn’t a standalone game, just a game mode, like a custom scenario. And it was kinda fun for a little while, but they added a full queue for it in the UI and everything. It was moderately popular for about two weeks, and now there’s a queue languishing that nobody ever uses. It was amusing.
I mean, LoL was inspired by DotA, which was originally a mod for Warcraft 3, so it wouldn’t even be the first time RTS spawned a major new genre.
You’re no superhero but just a regular are able to maybe lift a stick and kick a bug
That’s exactly what appeals to me. I really enjoyed that aspect of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, too. Though unfortunately I don’t have a lot of time for big open-world computer RPGs. I never finished KCD, and barely started Baldur’s Gate and the original VtM Bloodlines (among the only other RPGs I can remember starting over the last decade). I don’t think I finished anything since like 2016. But at least in principle, everything I’ve seen about Gothic appeals to me, so if the remake is good I would definitely like to give it a try.
I have a generally positive impression of remakes at the moment, since the games I’ve put more time into than any other over the last 5 years have all been extremely good remakes. Age of Empires 2 and 3 Definitive Editions, Age of Mythology: Retold, and Spyro Reignited. And I’ve heard good things about Oblivion. So without knowing who the developers behind the Gothic remake are, but knowing how beloved it was, my hopes are high that it’s being done with care.
it’ll be some kind of a miracle if the game ends up being even decent after all the tumultuous dev-hell it went through…
But I sure hope it’ll be good.

Remember when World of Darkness jumped on the battle royale bandwagon?

I only learnt about Gothic fairly recently, thanks to this really interesting video. I’m certainly hoping the remake does it justice, because it looks really interesting.
