One of the things no one thinks about: the name of the paladin order in Warcraft II was the Knights of the Silver Hand. They were literally worshiping the cursor.

Any custom, non-boring-ass arrow-shaped cursor really.

Though gauntlet ones are pretty sweet.

Loooved Dungeon Keeper back in the day.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Witcher 1. One of my all time favorites!

[–] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Extremely underrated game, even after it received popular sequels. I’m shocked nobody talks about the original Witcher game. I played it way after it was released in around 2017 and found it refreshing, like a slightly more modern classic RPG with actual classic game design, plus a few quirks (combat stances and so on).

The enhanced edition looks perfectly fine. I think I’ve hit the stage in my life where I care more about graphics looking cohesive and how the art style serves the game’s vibe than I care about garish post-processing and needlessly complex models and textures.

TW1, visually, has a sort of dreamy fantastical blandness with bursts of really cool visual interest. Isn’t that enough? Doesn’t that serve the concept of a video game well?

[–] Octavusss@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

I very much feel you brotha. One of the main things why me and my friends is that the Witcher 1 is one of few classics that have Czech dub. The catch is that it is a horrendously bad one for like 99% of the cast (I don't know what were voice actors smoking during recording). Me and my friends always laugh for at least 80% of the dialog in the game. It's absolutely amazing. Also same thing with Gothic 1 for english dub xD

I recognize a few of these from Ultima :D
