Minority Mindset

The underlying message is straightforward: although Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games might not be as popular or widely discussed as they used to be, they’re definitely not extinct. As Giaddon succinctly stated, “It’s not gone, but it’s certainly a specific niche.” The recent surge of independent developers has brought forth innovative titles such as Tempest Rising, Broken Arrow, and IMMORTAL: Gates of Pyre. Though these games may lack the massive advertising budgets of AAA releases, they underscore a dedicated community striving to reignite enthusiasm for this genre. Some developers are even capitalizing on nostalgia, given the success of classics like *Warcraft* and *StarCraft*. Players are eagerly anticipating these fresh entries, hoping they’ll recapture the magic of the past while incorporating contemporary elements.

In “Odd Town,” the way characters restore their health is ingeniously done by eating pizza, injecting humor into the gameplay. A user jokingly asked, “Did you fight him because he dropped one piece of pizza on the floor?” This question perfectly captures the game’s absurdity. Players aren’t just tactically consuming this cheesy treat; they’re engaging in a playful, ironic battle for leftover food. Eating pizza as a health potion? I can’t wait! Although the gameplay has some traditional RPG elements, our pizza-loving hero brings an element of whimsy that is both amusing and chaotic. The Flying-Baguette’s humorous approach leaves many spectators intrigued and eager to see how this unfolds as the game evolves.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but notice that Josh Sawyer remains actively engaged online, frequently posting fresh content or even hosting live streams. During one such stream, the esteemed director of Fallout: New Vegas mentioned that many colleagues at Obsidian Entertainment harbor a strong desire to create “Pillars Tactics“.

To summarize, a select few with limited understanding tried to invent a controversy, disregarding the reality that both games are significantly influenced by the rich medieval history of the Czech Republic.

The main topic of conversation following Ubisoft’s statement revolves around how leaks have a peculiar knack for dampening enthusiasm. A user quipped, “Did they accidentally leak a complete build or something?” recalling similar incidents with cherished franchises. Some even reminisced about turning off their console to avoid spoilers, implying that sometimes, not knowing can be blissful in the gaming world. However, for others, the excitement for the game seems to begin at an initially low level. “Who’s excited for this?” another user asked, demonstrating a growing cynicism towards the franchise. The discussion often swings between the thrill of anticipatory hype and the disappointment caused by unexpected leaks, creating a perpetual emotional roller coaster.

One recurring theme in comments is the perception of the PS5 Pro’s cost, which some users find exorbitant. For instance, one user stated, “It feels like it’s outrageously expensive.” This sentiment mirrors a widespread belief that the price doesn’t align with the performance improvements offered. Since the current games don’t demonstrate substantial power upgrades, prospective buyers are cautious. The approximate €750 price tag (approximately equal to a small used car in certain contexts) raises questions among gamers who aren’t seeing a marked difference in gaming experiences. If the enhanced capabilities aren’t evident in the games they’re eagerly anticipating, many opt for more affordably priced alternatives that are still available on store shelves.
