No it wouldn't, say in limbo u get hit by the saw, you don't die the first time but you have to jump behind the other saw you just jumped over and regenerate health. Because you're using the second saw as a cover for the first saw.Mastercylinder said:
But, if you miss the jump to the second saw you die, and if you try twice without taking cover you need to take cover from a third saw without getting hit by it, but also staying out of reach of the huge axe.
Like sims, rollercoaster w/e, or civ? I'm not entirely sure what a city builder game is. But to take a guess if run out of food you can invest in walls instead of crops. In fact any problem could be solved by building a wall for the omnipotent hand of the player to hide behind.Vern5 said:
Well you see, chest high walls give your population a boost to "Pull themselves up by their bootstraps." Getting them to solve the problems on their own, if you can't build the wall fast enough then the problem persists so you don't die but the time is wasted.Vern5 said:
I actually think we're on to something here. A business/Civ game where you develop the props that show up in all other games. Destructible scenery, chest-high walls, exploding barrels and whatever else shows up in action games. Research them, build them, actively test them, and then ship them out to the highest bidder. And, if your business rivals start feeling greedy, you can use your own products to defend your business, with fatal results.Rationalization said:
I would play that game.
Simple menus that get more advanced if you choose them to be. If the game doesn't pause when the menu flashes up, make it easy on us.
Oh and games need a story.

Every game needs to autosave AFTER a cut scene. I don't mind dying and having to repeat a section if I die, but there is nothing more annoying than having to sit through the same bloody video a million times. I remember this in Uncharted 2 where there was a locked door. I kept going the wrong way and falling to my death. I ended up watching the cut scene of the characters running up to the door and finding it locked about ten times. I know it's locked. You don't have to show me every single time I die. It's like the developers think that I short term memory loss.
What about RTS? What about pokemon? Would the pokemon take cover in battle?Rationalization said:
