Summer has begun. Everyone sat down at their computers and started playing games, and chatting on the forum about them.
It's depressing; I need to get out of here.

Locki. They shot themselves when it was real-time, but it wasn't always the case. In some places, enabling IRL is simply not profitable or even dangerous.

Basically, we need a mix of Fallout, Diablo, and BG/Icewind Dale/Neverwinter Nights. And games in the 3rd and 1st person should remain for single-player experiences; they work better that way. I remember taking an elf fan with me in Oblivion. Every time we fought, he would run off to who knows where, and some of the mobs would follow him. Once, I found him on the rocks near a waterfall. Poor guy fell to his death.

Demon Stone is only garbage from the perspective of a fan of FR and DD. In reality, the game is not bad. Bringing up shooters as an example, Archik, is quite reasonable; there's no need to be stubborn in your own stupidity. Both DS and shooters have AI. And notice, it's reasonably normal. Because shooters and slashers don't require a variety of tactics, and the small portion that exists can actually be scripted. And as I already said, when switched to a third-person view, the game becomes a slasher no less than an RPG, and often even more so. And tell me, smart guy, how do you control a squad in HnN? Do you lead each one by the hand to a tree? No. So stop talking bullshit here and turn on your brain. I know you have one, so use it; maybe it'll help. And yes, the "first-person" view (and why are you clinging to this, since G4 was mentioned, and it is third-person) in DAO for example is much more beautiful; you don't see cropped walls, but wonderfully painted cathedral ceilings, beautiful carved windows, etc. But that view is for beauty and solo play; running like that with a squad in battle is inconvenient.
Lok, again, let's not start a holy war. But I can't stay silent about this

the second one and WoW are simply different games in one setting.

If anywhere, it's in WoW where they managed to ruin the WHOLE setting—not only Warcraft 3, but they also tore through the first two. And by the way, 4-5 years ago in an interview, someone from Blizzard let slip that if Warcraft 4 were to be made, it would have nothing in common with WoW, and WoW would be treated as an alternative version of the world's development. That's how it is.

Creating a location (as with everything else, for that matter) for a game with modern graphics is much more complex than for games with older graphics, and this is where all sorts of drawbacks arise. Perhaps if all major companies that release games weren't so focused on graphics (otherwise, they wouldn't sell), there would be games made according to the old principle, but with a huge world. By the way, in the same Dragon Age, the locations are made in the same way as in shooters. Essentially, you can't miss anything; everything is only available through quests and the like.

Mold, we’ll be playing soon.

They really managed to ruin the ENTIRE setting in WoW, not just Warcraft 3, but also touched upon the first two games. And, by the way, 4-5 years ago, in one of the interviews, someone from Blizzard slipped up and said that if Warcraft 4 is made, it won't have anything to do with WoW, and WoW will be accepted as an alternative version of the world's development. That's what they said.

I didn't know about the fourth Warcraft game. I hope it will be that way. And +1 for the rest.

Plesen, we'll be playing soon.

Okay, I'll finish the game soon.

Do you control a squad in Heroes of Might and Magic?

I don't play the second one. Haha.
But in Battlegrounds and Icewind Dale, I control them myself, yes.

But you don't understand.
Why would I need a third-person game with a squad? I might not even play such a game. I'd rather play something like Gothic or Oblivion, where you walk around alone. Besides, it's UNCOMFORTABLE to play a third-person game with a squad. IMHO. And I don't like that, so I want the game to have a top-down perspective.

Beautifully detailed cathedral ceilings, exquisite carved windows.

I've already said that I don't need realism and other "advantages" of new graphics. I don't need the sun to reflect in the windows, the leaves to rustle in the wind, and so on.

and if I wanted a slasher, I would play Blade of Darkness. That's a great game.

Essentially, you can't miss anything; everything is tied to quests and similar things.

Don't take on side quests, and you'll miss a lot of locations.

I do it myself in Battlegrounds and Icewind.

Good for you. You still haven't managed to turn on your brain. I wouldn't be able to do that. You see, in Icewind and Battlegrounds, there is NO AI. The one that's there was a breakthrough in the second half of the 90s; it could FIGHT on its own!!! It wasn't great, but it could! It couldn't do anything else, but it was still cool! But more than a decade has passed since then, and progress hasn't stood still. You might as well say that Lamborghinis don't go 300 km/h because the Ford T couldn't. That's ridiculous.

Why would I need a third-person game with a squad? I might not even play such a game.

Then why are you attacking those who would play such a game? If you don't need it, don't interfere. Why are you trying to show off? You should be teaching girls how to use sanitary pads properly.

I don't need realism and other "advantages" of new graphics.

Read what you wrote:

Besides, the third-person view would ruin the look of the city, the dungeon. Sometimes you want to look at a place from your own eyes, but usually, the view from above is more beautiful. Like in Fallout 2 or Tactics. (I'm not talking about realism, reflections, water highlights, etc., but specifically about the drawing, details, beauty, atmosphere... how else can I call it?)

Now read what I wrote:

In DAO, it's much more beautiful; you see not just cut-off walls, but wonderfully painted cathedral ceilings, beautiful carved windows, etc.

WHERE??? Did I say anything about realism? And why are you so sure that in normal, modern games with good graphics, the drawing is bad, there are no details, no beauty, no atmosphere? When I burst into the Blood Mage's hideout in DAO and see that the tables are set in the dining room, and some of the chairs are overturned, I understand that my invasion made them jump up from the table and rush into battle. Prove your point! Stupid, unfounded statements don't work.

Blade of Darkness is an unfinished, unoptimized piece of garbage. Runes and Enclave are examples of good action games from that time.

Omega, they completely ruined the entire setting already in the third Warcraft.
Oh, here, take RASS with boobs, enjoy, players; oh, I'm Blizzard, I'm turning fierce orcs into pathetic losers with an inferiority complex, oh! Oh, I'm Blizzard, I'm crowing from the toilet! Oh! Oh! Oh, I'm AWAKENING ANCIENT EVIL, focusing on unwanted outcasts and their cliché story, oh! I'm Blizzard! Oh, I can't make normal 3D graphics in the game, so I make angular, gaudy crap with a pretense of a pseudo-cartoonish style, oh!

I played Enclave; it's similar, but it's not quite as much of a hack-and-slash game. IMHO. Although, I don't really need them; I don't particularly like them. I just used it as an example of a game I played and enjoyed. Do games like that really need anything other than slashing? No. Blood & Dust has that, and it's good. Dismemberment, bodies being cut apart, and lots of blood.

Then why are you attacking those who would like such a game? If you don't need it, don't interfere.

That was my idea. If you don't need it, why interfere?) My complaint is directed at Lordik, who is obsessed with 3D models and graphics. In DA and the second NWN, the graphics became better, yes. But in the first 3D RPGs and the like, there are very few details, whether it's the first NWN or Brigade E5 and a bunch of similar 3D empty shells. And again, why are you talking about AI? Did I ask about it? I'm fine with what's in BG. I'm not such a noob that I can't manage everything myself. And what you're describing is already practically just mindless slashing, where everyone runs around, fights, and that's it. I wanted a different kind of game

I AWAKEN ANCIENT EVIL

1-2 Warcraft, lol.

Let’s play, stop writing nonsense and making people laugh.

Enclave is similar, but it's not quite a hack-and-slash game.

A game where the player's only activity is to chop everyone to pieces (or shoot them with bows, staves, crossbows, and sometimes ballistae, like a dragon) – isn't that a hack-and-slash game?
