I was thinking about how it was very much a product of its time in terms of narrative: peak oil,European federation (they did predict brexit in a roundabout way) and some hilarious shit like beaching a cargo ship filled with tanks in a very silly amphibious assault. I think the tutorial level was literally invading The Hague.

The voice system was really cool, you could play the game entirely by voice and really felt like you were a commander.

It had all of the typical Clancy brain worms, but moving to a big picture of small battlefields it really allowed tacticool vibes to shine without getting bogged down too much. At the end of the day, yelling at your artillery to stop firing because you forgot where to before calling in the orbital drop infantry is way more immersive than just pressing buttons (in my opinion at least).

Interested in hearing your thoughts on RTS as a genre or Clancy games and their :brainworms:

ive been playing this game since 2011 when i was in middle school and im still coming back to it. im sinking hours into it after work while my puppy sleeps next to my desk and my gf is working evening shift. its such a cozy game and reminds me of when i spent all day after school playing MC and other games w friends. its not just nostalgia tho, its just such a cute game that can be whatever the player wants. after all this time, i still derive so much joy from exploring a new world, building a sprawling estate, spelunking, and even just mining. even tho MC doesnt track ur hours played, im certain its my most played game

just wanted to share that i love this game

interesting that the GitS adaption with an artstyle closest to the manga is actually a game

Title kinda says all.

I'll have my own reply later.
