Game of the lan

[Lucifa]

In old lan style, we need a Game of the Lan.

My vote is for:

With it's impressive list of features including:

Dynamic ocean waves, with realistic ship motion
Long distance travels , open ocean voyages between ports
Thirty new complex and challenging missions
Extensive day, night, and weather systems
Six new ships, each with walkthrough functionality and interactive bridge controls
Controllable container crane
Advanced vector graphic sea chart based on realistic 3D seabed models, with full-screen display option, transparency setting, and level-of-detail on text & depth readings
Advanced damage system showing dents and holes in the ships after severe collisions
Realistic bow splash water, with support from an advanced physics simulation model
Advanced rope system, which allows you to connect and disconnect player ships to other ships or mooring boulders at will (anchoring is now also possible)
Addition of icebergs which cause damage when you collide with them


Multiplayer is expected to be patched in later this year!

With this weather? We're not gonna risk it. We've never said there was going to be one. This isn't advertised as the Summer LAN.

[Aardvark]

You're going to look silly when the heatwave hits :arms:

IF. If the heatwave ever hits.

Close, try.. Bus Driver Simulator (http://www.busdrivergame.com/)

In Bus Driver, your job is to transport passengers around an attractive and realistic city. You must drive to a timetable on a planned route, whilst obeying traffic rules, and taking care not to upset or injure your passengers. This makes Bus Driver unlike any other driving game - the experience of driving a bus is very different from blazing through a racing circuit.
Bus Driver offers twelve different kinds of buses to drive, an expansive city environment with various districts, and thirty routes with varying weather conditions set at differing times of day.

12 buses to drive, very detailed models inspired by real-world buses.
30 routes arranged into 5 tiers with increasing difficulty.
Multiple duties, such as driving a schoolbus, transporting tourists, sight-seeing tours, and transportation of prisoners.
High replay value based on sophisticated system of traffic rules and game-play related bonuses.
Varying time-of-day and weather conditions
Large city to drive in, with several districts of varying styles (modern, old-town, suburb, airport, harbour, and more).
Living roads, with intelligent traffic controlled by our AI system.
Non-violent gameplay, bus game suitable for everybody.

I know pc games have been around for a while, but does anyone else think they are scraping the barrel a bit?

No wonder no one buys them.

how about a tube designer sim, you have a sim city type above field, and below ground you have to design routes etc and stations through different strata and so forth and pay for the land you use above ground.. getting bonus's for providing high speed rail links a short cut route during unused hours.

Or a Port management sim, you control a set of lock gates, suez canal or similar, tasks include dredging silt, etc etc but you can work on expanding the docks..

or lets go outside the box..

a international spacestation sim, you stat with a small base and have to add on to it all the time juggling the different spaceships docking designs and costs.. bus sim is just so damn obvious, really cant they look up for once at whats possible not just whats already done.

Small point, really games should be pushing boundaries, not swallowed up by intrinsic daily points.

And like a decade old...

It's not the settings that make games fun, it's the decisions. All "sim-build-this" games are alike - you could set one on a space station, and the other about building a rail network, but ultimately the mechanics of the game are what matter, not the setting - these two games could be identical to play despite being in different settings :)

One of the reasons I like DOTA so much - it offered a new and very different challenge - and still does.

Small point, really games should be pushing boundaries, not swallowed up by intrinsic daily points.i see this as *one* of the strengths of pc games. by not being controlled by one company (sony, ms, nintendo) who get to say what gets released and controlling distribution of devkits. pc devs can cater to the large markets and the small, you simply get products on the pc that wouldn't exist elsewhere.

I vote you all go retro and play Moonstone.
