What games do you want to see made?

Yep, but I'm dreaded to think it's the only girl-fit game out there. I'm sure a beautiful puzzle-game, à la Myst, with the need for a good cooperation between players would just be great for them.

They have shopping and joint trips to the bathroom. We have computer games, and thus there is balance. Mess with the subtle equilibrium at your own peril!

I think on problem is that game designers, being vastly male, haven't a clue what women want in a game.

Give them a game that involved a lot vicious backstabbing, playing mind games and having sudden and rapid changes in mood. Right up their alley.

So, what, you are saying Nuclear War would be the ultimate game for girls?

[Dis]

Does no one else thing X-com needs to be remade?

It still is one of my most favourite games of all time.

[Daz]

Hmmmm. X-com. Why not? I hope they will resist the urge to make it a rts.

X-com would be O.k., but I think they should revamp goldeneye on the gamecube. Not like a stupid perfect dark thing, that game just sucked, but take the old goldeneye, and add on a a lot more levels, and maybe give some new weapons, and more characters, and stuff. And then something superficial likethe graphics could also improve along with something relavant like the gmaeplay.

I would love to see XCom remade. It just isn't the same game without base management, where your soldiers have to fight for their lives and find enough stuff to sell to pay for their monthly wages.

Well X-Com3 already was to an extent.

[Skanky Burns]

But at least they spent the resources to allow you to play turn-based as well. And different weapon types that were suited to one play-style or the other.

[DrSpike]

Indeed. Another game like that would go down well.

[Daz]

Well X-Com3 already was to an extent.

And exactly that made it suck...

[DrSpike]

No, because as Skanky said you still had the option of playing it TB.

Could use the same engine for a really great world or national politics game, no?

And therein is the problem - the reason Boris's game wont fly is the same reason diplomacy is always deficient in strategy games - too hard to get AI to do this like a human. And most games bread and butter is SP, not MP. (even RTS get alot of their sales from casual SP players, I think)

I think a cool game would be a game in which you live out the life of a celebrity. It oculd be like Behind the music the viseogame. It would just be like you have to make a buch of decisions, like who to have sex with, what drugs to do, how drunk to get before you frive, where to pee, what to snort, how many strippers to marry, if you go to rehab, and when you beat people up it could be like Mortal Kombat!
