If developers adapted other games the way they do Dungeons & Dragons, every version of computer chess would be an abysmal Dynasty Warriors clone set in medieval Europe. When chess fans complained about the lack of depth, action gamers would tell them to get real - nobody's going to buy a turn-based strategy game with grid-based movement in this day and age. Then the video gamers would go back to tapping the A-button in the general direction of some pawns. When action gamers complained about the broken gameplay (of the four selectable characters, the Queen would be absurdly overpowered and the Knight would be hard as fuck to steer), chess fans would condescendingly lecture them about the tactical possibilities of a horse that always veers to the side. Then the chess fans would go back to tapping the A-button in the general direction of some pawns. Neither party would be satisfied, and both would blame the other for ruining a conceptually interesting game with their ridiculous personal preferences. |
