#UFOEnemyUnknown or #JaggedAlliance?
For me, UFO for sure is the much more intricate, detailed, deep game. But those tactical battles just take *so* long! Plus, Jagged Alliance's mercenaries have a lot more character. What's your take?

Ta hra je časový mor. Hrál jsem to celý víkend 😹 Ono to asi není až tak dlouhý, ale prolézám každý sektor a tak jsem asi za půlkou 😸 #JaggedAlliance #JA3

Fan de #Fallout et amateur de #JaggedAlliance je pensais tomber à fond dans #FalloutTactics, acheté sur Priceminister ou 2xmoinscher ou un truc du genre. Bon en fait je suis jamais allé très loin mais il est dans ma to-do list mentale faudrait vraiment que je m'y mette.

Tak som včera konečne rozohral nový #JaggedAlliance3 a hneď na úvod ma tam úplne rozbil ten I.M.P. test, ako za starých dobrých čias. Už dlho som sa u hry tak dobre nezasmial 🤣 Ale koruna najlepších odpovedí zostáva #JaggedAlliance2. Na hlášky "Jednoduše stisknu "R" jako Raketomet" a "Psychickým Paprskem Smrti ho vytlačím ze silnice" za volantom spomínam bežne, keď stretnem nejakého blbca na cestách 😅

Jagged Alliance 2 (one of my all time favs):

The more I engage with game design, the more I notice some disastrous ideas that keep turning games with great potential into "great idea, poor gameplay" for decades.
Today's highlights include:
1. Potions and buffs, which are ways to reset and/or replace game state by consuming other resources, sometimes repeatedly. The #EvilIslands and #NWN suffer significantly from this issue. The primary reason I stopped participating in otherwise amazing story-focused modern #NWN community #EFU is this mechanic. Also having a life and a job. But mostly potions and buffs.
2. Dramatic progression, where end-game characters have quantifiably greater capabilities than early game ones. Scaling up both enemies and characters creates artificial barriers for creative gameplay. I appreciate #JaggedAlliance's progression, which features only a 15% difference in crucial stats between the end-game and the first day of your first mission.
Unfortunately, both issues have deeply infiltrated #TTRPG game design, including the most popular TTRPG, which shall remain unnamed.
Another abstract game design mistake is forcing players to make decisions without clearly explaining the rules.
This problem worsens in games with dramatic progression. Players must create "a build" to avoid irrelevance due to dramatic progression, relying on vague descriptions of decision outcomes. #Fallout suffers immensely from this issue.
This problem can also apply to narrative games. The reason I didn't enjoy #BrokenSword as much as anticipated and am close to dropping #BeneathTheSteelSky is that these games' premises break during play.
Broken Sword starts as noir detective with bombs, evolving into a wishy-washy modern fantasy with spells and rituals. "Steel Sky" starts as dystopian drama but devolves into cringe comedy. Sherlock Holmes games feature mysticism, and don't get me started on the TTRPG offenders: the likes of #DeltaGreen and other #Cthulhu-adjacent games. Imagine having omnipotent entities as villains, while mortals are trying to solve crimes... Spoiler: the killer is a Cthulhu.

@jonn i'll second that thought of playing #jaggedalliance (the second one, please), haven't touched it since... maybe five or even seven years i think.
if you do, give #stracciatella a nudge (it's a modern cross-platform rewrite, must have imho):
https://ja2-stracciatella.github.io/
however, «hard west» is a better ja2 in so many ways; so if shooting virtual baddies is not a strict taboo for you (and i just guess it's not, ja2?), give it a try. the story alone might surprise you, it's top notch.

In no particular order:
#Tetris
#SuperPacMan
#BlackDesert
#AdvanceGuardianHeroes
#Astrosmash
#Silkworm
#KatamariDamacy
#FinalFantasyTactics
#JaggedAlliance
#MasterOfOrionII
#CivilizationCallToPowerYeah, I know, that's eleven. I couldn't. It was hard enough not putting #Frostbite on there. EDIT: I swapped out #FightNRage because DUH, there's another brawler that NEEDS to be there.
