It can be done well, I think. Asura's Wrath comes to mind.

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

I wish that there was a game similar to Long Live the Queen but if you get through to the end of it without dying you get to play a grand strategy game ŕ la Crusader Kings II and have to deal with the consequences of your actions.

Go play Long Live the Queen and when it's over go play a CK2 game based on what you did in LLtQ.

I wish Space Rangers 3 existed.

Or, to suit my tastes even better, a real-time space-sim 100% inspired in Space Rangers with some empire-building elements in it, with rival AI that can do the same stuff you can.
SPAZ 2 is a little bit like that, I finished the first alpha release but didn't really like the combat, visuals, or anything other than the strategic map and strategic AI, really.

If only No Man's Sky was moddable, people would probably be modding that.

It honestly feels like a lot of their problems came from the fact that their entire team was composed of cats, and the people who were supposed to be herding them were also cats.

I thought of something recently, and made me wonder..
Does there exist a Japanese game, that isn't anime/manga inspired at all? By that I mean visually.
It's not that I don't like the anime style, I am just wondering if such a thing exists.

Dark Souls and Bloodborne have only occasional twinges of anime-ness. Otherwise they have a pretty different aesthetic.

Yeah, the animeness tends mostly to be snark about the huge weapons.

Also Metal Gear Solid in terms of the visual. The writing however...

I would agree, but some of the character designs seem to be a bit.. on the bishie side. Which I tend to connect with anime and such.

Silent Hill is pretty low on the anime scale.

If you can get over some admittedly bishie side characters most of the main/important cast (except Raiden, you beautiful disaster, you) are pretty gritty looking and down-to-earth.

I want a universal simulator game, with Aurora levels of detail, with civilisations rising and falling and warring and loving and doing all sorts of cool, simulated shit. The player's only real function, is to press the reset button at the centre of the universe, which will wipe out all organic life and leave every planet, machine, and star intact, allowing for new life to rise again. New species and new cycles of civilisations will grow, and be influenced by the wrecks and husks and dead planets left by beings that clearly existed, but no longer do.

As your game goes on, each cycle of the universe starts learning faster and faster as more and more evidence piles up that SOMETHING wiped out life on planet after planet, over and over again. You can't press the reset button continuously, you have a cool down of say, 100 million years. If a civilisation manages to reach the centre and dismantles your Universe-Cleanser device before you can re-press the Reset button, you LOSE/WIN, depending on how you look at it.

In the interim period, the "cleansed" period of the universe where your existence scanning capabilities detect no life, the game turns into a bit of a god simulator, allowing you to reshape planets, star systems, reallocate resources to ensure certain sorts of life grow here and not there, that sort of stuff, all in preparation for the next cycle. Do this while there's intelligent running around, and your chances of being discovered as the puppet master behind reality rises drastically.

Sentient AI machine-life would be interesting in this game, as you would have no direct way to destroy them, but to balance that out, most organic life develops very strong prejudices against synthetic life, causing wars to erupt between the two states of life constantly. So, if your really want to strategise, you would encourage as much organic life to exist as possible, to war against and wipe out the less expansionistic and slower reproducing machines.

Probably just because of my shit graphics card (which technically isn't as it's Intel Integrated Graphics), but I'd like to have more games where visuals aren't emphasized.

There are probably a few like that, but apparently my toaster is lacking in a long list of other areas as well.
