Tell me about it, I was playing the DOS version of Dune 2 the other day, and its so awkwardly clunky it made what should've been a pretty fun strategy game irritating, slow and not much fun. Having to lay out foundations for any building REALLY SLOWLY, ordering only one unit at a time (no multi-selecting units was easily the games biggest problem - how can you power through enemies defences when your units arrive on at a time?), having to press the relevant button to change between attack, move, harvest etc, rather than it being context sensitive. Even by command and conquer the interface had come a long way.Yancakes wrote: But looking at strategy games, simulations, RPGs and what-have-you, modern interfaces have made them so, so much more accessible than they ever were.

I enjoy Project Diva and Gal*Gun. What of it? One of my favorites is also The iDOLM@STER. So what? I like them.
Re: Why did graphics become so important in gaming?
Hatsune Miku Project Diva is a fun rhythm game. Miku is so cute and you can have her wear so many cool outfits. I'm working on unlocking the swimsuits right now. (^_^)
Playing this game has made me into a big Miku fan. The music has really grown on me.

Project Diva games are some of the more enjoyable rhythm games I have played. I also enjoy the music, but the actual Vocaloid voices have yet to grow on me.

Re: Why did graphics become so important in gaming?
I was just kidding, besides, I do like Gal Gun and The iDOLM@STER, hell, I was about to make a thread about whether I should import The iDOLM@STER 2 without knowing japanese. I played the demo and I loved it.ZenErik wrote:I enjoy Project Diva and Gal*Gun. What of it? One of my favorites is also The iDOLM@STER. So what? I like them.
Re: Why did graphics become so important in gaming?
Yes, you should. It would probably be more enjoyable if you knew Japanese, but its still lots of fun either way. You will just need to use a guide for perfect communication.

I've heard that the iDOLM@STER 2 wikia is really helpful so I'll end up buying it. Thanks!ZenErik wrote:Yes, you should. It would probably be more enjoyable if you knew Japanese, but its still lots of fun either way. You were just need to use a guide for perfect communication.
