Bioshock had some fun mechanics, but that blatant emotional manipulation held it back for me.

 

[Eugene]

Your mileage may vary.

 

[Chase]

I liked Far Cry 4... much more than Far Cry 5 also because the latter had blatant emotional manipulation too.

Since we all appear to be gamers here, I am curious: if a Carmen Sandiego game were to be made today, with producers knowing how much their audiences love an amazing story, fully developed characters, and an emotional twist to the plot, what would it look like?))

 

[Chase]

But game mechanics did get better

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

@Claire Yeon i've thought about this a lot actually and i'm still not sure. but i am sure that i want it.

 

[Eugene]

Last Far Cry I played was 2.

 

[Chase]

@Claire Yeon, great question

 

[Chase]

I’d like for Carmen to remain leader of VILE, for sure. That’s a core I feel gets neglected.

 

[Eugene]

Why have a twist at all? Maybe it's enough to have rich characters and plots.

 

[Chase]

Does it have to be educational?

 

[Chase]

Scratch that, it will be. You’d be exposed to things you’d want to immediately google
