Yeah, that is why I specifically mentioned “good”. I don’t want my wish to come true with garbage AAA game 😀
Comment on Exogate Initiative, a "Stargate Command" basebuilder and management game, released on Steam
thezeesystem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week agoThat sounds nice but it’s owned by a giga corp so if it was created it would be garbage full of micro transitions.

Not necessarily. There are examples of good games based on sci-fi franchises that aren’t riddled with shitty micro transactions. Starship Troopers: Extermination is a good example. It’s a base-building online cooperative FPS, and it’s actually a lot of fun. Surprisingly, even though you almost always play with strangers, (unless you have sixteen friends all ready to play) everyone has pretty good teamwork. I often see small groups sortie out in precise strikes into the bug horde to revive downed team mates.
The fact that this game exists, and is also being made by a smaller dev studio, never ceases to amaze me. This is a franchise that has produced several movies, video games, and related media. You wouldn’t expect the rights to something like this to be given to anyone but a big AAA publisher who can fork out a ton of money.
