    Yeah, except the first one is multiplayer 3rd person action (nothing like Kenshi) and the second is, well... you play as... ehm... an overgrown RABBIT? o_O

    Kenshi isn't a fighting game. It has fighting in it, but it is not the only thing you can do in-game.

    Honestly, I'm more amped for Kenshi than either Blade Symphony or that bunny-ninja simulator thing.

    You want to list pure fighting games, claim they're better than a game which allows you to be a fighter, trader, farmer etc and then say that its gameplay is console gameplay?

    Yeah, no. I don't think you know the history of fighting games.

    no. i was talking about quality of mechanics. BS/overgrowth are both PC "enabled" fighter games, mouse, keyboard, hotkeys you name it and the combat mechanics exploit both the processing power and the input advantage PCs have.

    a game wwhere you can fight trade and farm is more shitty than a game where you can only fight when fighting trading and farming is all halfassed.

    focusing on a single mechanic and making it excellent produces far better games than making a broad game with lots and lots of half-finished and badly thought out mechanics. throwing everything into the game what the lead designer thinks is cool is exactly the stuff console games are made of.

    not saying that any or all of kenshi's mechanics are neccessarily bad. but i also question what they want to do with the game. if i want to fight, i play a fighting game. if i want to farm, i play farmville. there is no overlap between all these mechanics, so UNLESS you make a sandbox-MMO that all conects these singular mechancis with red tape so they form an undevisable whole, the game won't be getting far.

    questions a designer shoudl ask himself: what is my game's main selling point? what is its reason to exist?

    and yes, i am far better at game design that richard "dumbfuck" garriot

    Yeah uhm no. I'd much rather play a game that attempts to diversify than play some shitty bunny fighting simulator. Kenshi is still in very early alpha, so it still has a lot of room to grow and improve. Overgrowth will never be anything other than a pretty boring fighting game.

    exactly. the brawling games like tekken and shit are complete popamole trash compared to the real deal on PC, like savage and jedi knight. games like these are completely unthinkable on consoles, not just because they would instantly pop the consoletards brain, but because couldn't even move your character correctly. unfortunately there are so very few of those games...

    It's like a Flight Sim with keyboard and mouse.
