Well, in a way we already had several types of games in one game. Voyages! It is also not unusual for one game to have multiple game modes. Usually you load up a game and then you have several options to choose from in the main menu. For example, Civilization. There are many other examples. This isn't really much different from what we have now in Godus Wars. You start it up, first thing you have to choose is whether you play wars or regular godus. It feels very different though. The games feel disconnected from each other even though they are in the same menu. It might have something to do with the fact that we were promised from the start that everything would be happening not only in one game but also in one experience. To be fair though, Molyneux always mentioned even in the start that he wanted to have a part where you could be all zen-like and didn't have to worry about being attacked or doing battles and that there would be a part where you would go to war and try to conquer opponents. Human opponents that is. In one giant Jupiter sized world that is. I think the fact that the game is partially Unity based and partially Marmalade based adds to the idea that these are in fact two separate games slapped together for the sake of calling it a single game.

Well this is definitely several games in one. Why else would it have to launch two different windows when entering a battle... Needless to say I found each executable and explicitly blocked them in my firewall

But how will you ever be a able to play multiplayer? Given the rest of 22cans' rubbish lately, he won't have to worry about that until he pays 22cans again for the game they've owed him for years. |

I'm pretty much a single player experience person and multiplayer always seems tacked on. |
