HS video game

[the beast]

If there will be, I wonder what should the HS video game be like

It would most likely be an RTS as no one buys turn-based games anymore. And it would probably suck...

No point, really. I just like posting random drivel.

Well, you couldn't have picked a better thread.

There should be none. If I wanted to play video games, I'd play video games. Turning HS into a video game will take away the social part of tabletop games that I love so much.




...And I will post this exact same answer on future HS video game threads. (Yes, I'm expecting more)

Turn based video games aren't all bad; I just think that they are meant for slower stations like the DS from nintendo. They have put out Advance Wars, and it's very good for long car or plane rides.

But lets all get over ourselves; the original Pokemon games (Red & Blue) are the best long car trip games!

EDIT: As far as a HS game? I think the graphics and game mechanics will be to much for a small system, also a small screen will hurt HS badly. After all that it would have to be on a bigger system where you could get a good screen to better use the game mechanics (sight is the one I take issue with), and once it's on a big system or PC there is no point in getting it; there are so many better games that it would easily get out shined.

In short: It's a board game for a reason.

I hope they don't make one. I'd buy it, sure. But kids need to get away from those damn video games and start doing other things, like going outside for a good game of... what ever kids do outside. Also, it's no fun if you can't throw your opponents Zelrig against the wall when it dies, causing his fragile little wings to fall off and go underneath the couch.

My friend did that once. He wipped a die and broke a Plano case I use to carry my guys. At GenCon I played a game. The dice I used were thrown at the convention wall.

Nintendo's Fire Emblem series is one of my favorite video game series. Mainly because it almost plays like a board game.

If there were a video game, who would buy Heroscape? 40$ Video game gives you all the characters and terrain with no limit! You could have 18 squads of Omnicrons and Agent Sakhen if you felt like it! Or you can get 2-5 Army cards for 10$. Mayby if it were roll playing (Control Sgt. Drake and Raelin and defeat the Marros) it could work....
