KINGARTHUR'S PROFILE

Not sure where any of the so-called "haters" are, MarkusT.

As far as I can tell, everyone simply pointed out an obvious rip in a commercial game (read: plagiarism) that could actually land ReynardFrost and possibly RMN in legal trouble. That being called out should be and has been appreciated by Reynard, though I don't think removing that screenshot/image was the best course of action; it resulted in the entire fiasco making a bad case for the game and Reynard than the rip already did.

Regarding the rest of the comments, it's all relatively calm banter about game devs making games "for nostalgia" and how that attitude might not necessarily be a good one to have as a game dev. Reynard and Harm obviously disagree in their views but neither really ragged on the other, though I do think Reynard making assumptions of Harm's character was a bad call on his part; one should always strive to debate against the points of discussion, not against one's character.

So... nice trolling and asskissing I guess, my good sir?

P.S. "There", not "their".

Welcome to RMN, as was said by other we're a community composed primarily of hobbyist game devs, so we're somewhat lacking on the player side of things to be frank. If you'd like to contribute something, please do!

Also, is that avatar of yours Lulu from League of Legends?

A good example of a survival game with an ending is Oregon Trail. You are trying to survive, but not for all eternity - only for long enough to reach Oregon. So that's the end goal, right there. Travel through a wasteland is a pretty fitting setting for a survival game, and it makes sense that the goal would be to get out of the wasteland and to some destination. It also creates an extra level of depth in the gameplay: Sometimes you have to make a decision between whether to prioritize your progression or your survival, like spending money on food/clothes vs. spare wagon parts, and choosing to rest or press on when a party member is sick.

That moment when you're one day from Oregon and dysentery gets you.

I would strongly advise against Windows 8 because of the hardware and software compatibility issues LockeZ already pointed out and the fact Metro is absolutely terrible to use on a desktop, touchscreen or not.

An All-In-One computer is basically an oversized laptop, all the hardware is fixed in place and you will have an absolutely terrible time modifying or upgrading most of the hardware if it's even possible to do so at all. Plus, if for whatever reason your monitor dies or gets damaged then you can't simply replace it either.

As such, I would really suggest you look into ordinary desktops. Desktops are far more modular, easier and more economical to maintain, and generally have less issues to worry about.

Curious though, are you having an issue with space in your bedroom? Because the only reason I can think you'd grab an All-In-One would be because you simply don't have the space or practical means to place a desktop tower.
