>sequel takes place hundreds of years after the first game>technology hasnt changed or evolved at all
>prequel takes place hundreds of years before the first game>technology is completely futuristic
>>721522706The real world also had these gaps of nothing going on. Hell many stories can easily justify it by having a culture or lack of available resources to drive enginuity. It all hangs on writing and world building.
>>721522706This makes sense if the setting of the first game is like 4000 BC and the sequel is like 3700 BC
>>721522706Wait until you find out that's literally most of human history too
>>721522706>Game Civilization actively advances as you play.
>>721522706In homeworld 2, you regress back to kinetics
>>721522862>prequel takes place hundreds of years before the first game>technology is completely futuristic>original game was very low tech
>>721522862>technology is rather primitive >sequel to prequel shoehorns futuristic stuff
>>721522706>game takes place a couple hundred years past a cataclysmic event/villain almost brought the world to its knees>nobody remembers it happened except like 1 nerd in a libraryThat's definitely how that fucking works...
>>721522706That's actually good.I hate how Lionhead did to Fable series.
>>721522921>The real world also had these gaps of nothing going on. Yeah, during the fuckin' iron age or bronze age maybe.500 AD, 1000 AD and 1500 AD are ridiculously different technology wise.
>game takes place on a loli civilization>you have to solve a cunspiracy
>>721522706are horses just dogs in horse form?
>video game is>thing is when>feature because ii uh idk what i was going to post anymore i just wanted an excuse to post a picture of honse
>>721522706>sequel takes place X years after the first game>conclusion of the events during the first game are nowhere mentioned
>>721522862I will never forgive Eidos for this
>>721523301Any game like this beside E.V.O.: Search for Eden?
>>721522706>tech has regressedkino
>>721525457terranigma
>>721522706>ancient tomb>contemporary loot
>>721522706>First game has a key side character>Sequel takes place directly after the first game and said side character is strangely absent and never mentioned again
>>721524305>>721524305Fucking hate Melodies of Steel sequels fir this. Everything was so charming because of low tech in the first game. Then they brought humies , time travel and other dimensions
>>721522706>technology hasnt changed or evolved at all> technology was lost or was replaced with inferior to maximize profits
>>721522862I actually love this as a concept, but I've never seen it done well in games or even movies. It's the idea that the subsequent generations have gotten stupider and I love that. >I also love ancient aliens for the same reasons.
>>721522706>game has early gun powder weaponry>it's only used by the most basic of fodder, none of the cast is afraid of guns and they continue to just swing their swords around tanking or dodging bullets>A typical musket ball (e.g., fired from a Brown Bess) has about 2,000 to 2,500 Joules of kinetic energy >a claymore is 5-6 pounds>let's say a fantasy sword used by our heroes is 10 pounds, and they swing it effortlessy and as fast as professional baseball players swing their bats>the force would be 2,351 joules>a single musket bullet has the same force as an OP berserk-tier fantasy swordsman>HURR FIREARM ENEMIES ARE THE LOWEST FODDER IN THE GAME
>>721522706that's how was before the 1900s, anon.
>>721522706Sounds like IRL kek
>>721525716I can't I have even encountered this. What game are you talking about?
>>721522706technology changes in fits and startse.g. the way people used consumer electronics and the internet:1995 was very different compared to 19852005 was very different compared to 19952015 was very different compared to 20052025 is not very different compared to 2015
>>721522706do you realize that technology didn't change for more than a millennia and we are living in exceptional times?
>>721526641I don't think 2015 was that different to 2005 to be honest
>Game takes place years after everyone is dead
>sequel takes place hundreds of years after the first game >technology hasnt changed or evolved at all
>>721526721In terms of the way we used the Internet and how we used consumer electronics, they were definitely very different. Picrel was the kind of phone you'd have in your pocket and software hadn't eaten the world yet, the Internet was still something you actually had to sit down in front of a computer to access.
>>721522706This can easily be explained if there is universal enforcement of international printing press licenses (also know as copyright) and corrupt patents. Any technological progress at that point would have to come from one autist bullheading his way through adversarial bureaucracy for his entire natural life and that would only even be possible if he only had his own government to contend with.There would have to unlicensed printing and innovation happening somewhere else for there to be rapid technological progress, just look at our current system where it is the norm to ignore patented ideas for 20 years while the technology remains in stasis, at that rate you'd only get 5 minor innovations added onto an idea in 100 years depending on just how corrupt and pedantic the system is.
>>721522862Kenshi 2 soon bros
>>721525187No. Mine is just sweet, she doesn't like to play with a ball but I think she just enjoys a nice trail ride. She's very affectionate, always hanging her head over my shoulder and kinda hugging me.
>>721527037Give them some slack. They were still recovering from the collapse of Rome.
>>721526746Several hundred years later, one elf character from the og games party is still alive and is just a wanderer. Joins the party for a short while and tells tales of the past, with seemingly accurate insight. MC reminds him of his old friend MC, saves him later in the story saying something that they can finally adventure together again.
>game lets you adopt different policies toward technologically inferior peoples
>>721526439Episode 2
>>721525783it's extinct human tech that they're using, it's ancient UFO technology for them
>>721522862Fuck Nu-Deus Ex, man.
>>721528316Fine in the first game because it was used sparsely, then suddenly used to do impossible feats in second gameNit to mention that giant plot hole with Tarascus chase
>>721522706>sequel takes place a thousand years after the previous entry in the timeline>technology has all but collapsed and people have to rediscover 'ancient' technology after the party in the prior game destroyed the Mother Computer that was the one thing preventing the planet from turning back into a desert shithole and they effectively doomed the solar system to a slow decay into inhabitabilityOG Phantasy Star was so kino
>>721525691>Gold coins minted with the face of the current emperor >You are the first one to touch said coin since 1000 years
>magic exists in game>absolute chaos, unorder, rapes, exploitation isn't happening 24/7Seriously image everyone had access to all the harry potter shit.
>>721529685>Teleportation exists >They send owls to each other
>>721529685>nobody selling love potions as date rape drugs to mugglesIt's like wizards can't be entrepreneurs
>>721529685They do. Humanities existed 200k years. How would 99% of people from that time explian everything from cars to AR-15s.
>>721524820And before that it was 400,000 BC to 500AD
>>721525457Timberborn
>>721522706>sequel takes place after a mere couple of decades>technology has evolved from sword and sorcery to steampunk
>game has underage female masturbation
>>721529869apparition is a highly difficult spell that rips you to shreds if you fuck it up so i can understand it not being particularly standardized
>>721530459What if I want to teleport you a package or letter?
>>721530794Seems like a waste of energy in comparison. Like handwriting something you can print
>>721522862>Sequel takes place over a hundred years after the last game>somehow technology got worse
>>721522706>Sequel takes place hundreds of years after the first game>Technology has actually regressed from the constant war and destruction
>>721530794due to the fundamental rules of the spell, you always have to go with whatever you're teleportingyou can bring stuff with you, even other people, but you can't just send things remotely
>Technology marches on as humanity replaces mythIt's such a basic but absolutely kino trope.
>>721530794>>721530459Don't they automatically teleport food to a plate once the plate is empty I remember it in the books, the plate would be refilled with sandwiches but the slaves would be making sandwiches somewhere
>>721525992Keep telling yourself that
>>721522706
>>721522706Technological stagnation is the norm.
>>721525813>Inferior>When the entire thing sucked up fuel like a blackhole>Was loud as fuck>Ticket prices were insane Concord was a meme. Deal with it.
>>721522921Technology was always changing. That change was never as easily observable as today but whether it was cavemen or knights you couldn't go 100 years without seeing a bunch of new stuff or ways to do things. The only years this wouldn't be true would be the lead up to and collapse of the Roman Empire which was an apocalyptic event that caused a massive regression, but even then if the 100 years started ~20 years after the collapse it also wouldn't be true as the various remnants manage to rediscover or reinvent things lost.
>>721535430We are talking about the technology or shekels you lost? There were many centuries where technology didn't change, but also degraded overall, the XX century was amazing for science but we are again hit the ceiling, but we already built a religion around the PrOgReSs
