Random pen question I’ve been thinking about: how do you respond to this? I have responded in two separate ways:
- No ethnostate has a right to exist. (Blah blah blah, Nazi Germany, one’s rights end where others’ begin, you get the picture)
- No state has the “right to exist”. States don’t really have rights, countries come and go through war or other causes. A war, or subsequent annexation, is not stopped because of some “right” of the losing country to exist.
Both of these ended in the other person not really saying much of anything, seemingly because they didn’t have a response. Is there something better I’m missing?
My first reaction on seeing the title was to name a games that just have fun core mechanics where replaying the game is basically just doing more of the same fun thing, so ULTRAKILL means I’m on the right track.
Prodeus is a pretty good doom clone. Not as in-depth as ULTRAKILL, but nonetheless has fun weapons and your basic doom (eternal) movement/mechanics. Blasting your way through enemies is as fun on the first level as the last. And the Quake games hold up extremely well, and the mechanics are so simple and powerful that you can really have fun replaying and getting better.
Stealth games are also very fun for this. The Splinter Cell series (especially Chaos Theory) are very fun to try to perfect/improve on. Dishonored and Thief as others have mentioned. And Midnight Club is the best racing series for this. You’ll have to emulate it, but it’s worth it. Completely open-world, and learning the city layout over time is very satisfying.
