On gameplay versus story ∞

As someone who wants the mindless destruction, I'm tired of subsidizing cutscenes and story wankery.

Developers are trying to market to too broad an audience. This is one of the reasons games aren't properly finished by release. They have to get all that feelings stuff done and rendered out for the initial release, and thereafter they work on bugs, mechanics and gameplay balance in patches.

Suggestions ∞

• Crossfire

  • RPG. Seriously oldschool. Pretty neat. Boy was it annoying to figure out what to run after installing it. Sigh.

• Crimson Fields

  • Cute oldschool turn-based strategy game. Tedious repetitive music. Too simple.

• FreeLords

  • Requires paraGUI

• pathological

  • Requires some wacked-out client-side software to use it (online).
• Stratagus (was freecraft) - StarCraft / Warcraft[doesn't exist]-style

• uqm (UrQuan Masters)

  • Star Control II - (1992 game) open sourced!
  • Next to impossible to figure out how to install. See /doc/users/unixinstall. Run ./build.sh uqm and then ./build.sh uqm install .. and it is installed in /usr/local/games/bin/uqm .. also a secret location. Man.
  • Error: Could not copy default key config to user config dir: No such file or directory.
    -- No solution is known. The content directory has the right stuff. Hrmph.

• Sin

  • Looks interesting.. from some of the Duke Nukem 3D guys.. same era as Quake 2.
  • SiN: Wages of Sin -- An expansion
• Nethack via Telnet

• GemRB (Game engine made with preRendered Background)

  • A portable open-source implementation of Bioware's Infinity Engine which was written to support pseudo-3D role playing games based on the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset.
  • The aim is to support all games supported by the Bioware engine, which includes the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series plus Planescape: Torment. Many addons should work too.
