And then, of course, there's the crowd who are easily impressed by good looking graphics. IMO, good graphics are easy but expensive. Good gameplay is cheap but difficult. Give me a good sprite-based game anyway… to play on my expensive computer.I often wonder and then I find out some players literally haven't played anything else than the thing they keep droning about. Is also true about ED. You could say I'm a somewhat unsteady player, rarely sticking with one thing, but playing nothing else than a single game - it kinda disqualifies any opinion about "games".
As AA quoted above,
On a related note, Dwarf Fortress has released on Steam. Urge to pull the lever rising.
