that's Dune

>>5018294
Looks like Arrakis to me.

>>5018295
Also called Dune.

About to finish the trilogy. What do people see in it?

What game is it?

>>5018313
It's the badass point and click DOS game

Dune

>>5018301
The book trilogy?

>>5018293

It's a weird game, plays like an adventure game but is also a strategy game. French developers had a different way of doing things, I guess.

>>5018301
read the fourth book
few books are written from the perspective of a god emperor man-giant worm hybrid

My man. My jaw dropped after reading GEoD, the best mid-series entry I ever read.

>>5018293
dune was great. dune 2 was fucking awesome.

>>5018527
you are talking about the book or the game?

>>5018293

It's kinda funy how Dune 2 is much harder to get into compared to 1, since it feels so primitive even compared to something like C&C, let alone later RTS. The first Dune is a totally unique experience, everyone on /vr/ should give it a spin.

>they'll never make a sardaukar commando game that's an FPS where you fly around the universe committing war crimes

>>5018548
yes

I recently picked up Dune on Sega CD, which Dune is it?

I really need to play the games sometime. Love the AdLib soundtrack to Dune, though for some reason it's hard to find an unaltered version of it on YouTube. https://youtu.be/Wdhx71OZNco

>>5018526
I didn't like it and is the reason I didn't continue with the series. I was fine with the time jump, new emphasis on Duncan, and political/theological philosophy but it's just boring. Messiah and Children start off boring too but God emperor is the first one not to pull it out and deliver the goods.

>>5018293
Dune 2000

>>5019752
It’s probably boring because it’s heavy on internal action and basically experimental in form. I liked how the Messiah slowed down the pace but the Children is the weak entry for me.

>>5019805
My college roommate and I theorized that the reason GEoD is so boring compared to the other books is because it's told primarily through the viewpoint of a prescient 4000 year old being. Everything would be boring as fuck after 4000 years if you could also see the future. It's why even when Duncan clones try to kill him he usually describes the events as tedious. In the other books an attack with lasguns and bombs would be sweet but Leto's seen it hundreds of times already and it's boring as fuck to him.

Is this Dune?

>>5018613
>since it feels so primitive even compared to something like C&C
Yeah, its not like Westwood helped define the genre with Dune 2 and C&C or anything.

I hate reading. Non-fiction is ok, you can learn so much from non-fiction. But I'm not particularly fond of the process, I just know it's good for me. I forceread plenty of fiction books in my teens and 20s and got such minimal enjoyment out of it. I am just not a fiction reader.

>>5018738
>that Under Construction bit
>that part from the end of the intro

Love when games do that.

>>5018293
mfw Jedi junkies and trekkies don't dig Dune.

Desert Planet.

>>5019961
Does that mean you don't like fiction either from other media like radio plays, television/movies, theater or video games? I mean, I personally love reading books the most when it comes to fiction because I think it's where stories can be fleshed out the best but I'm curious to know.

Amiga version sounded best, but it had less songs than PC/MegaCD

OP's about the other one though, the adventure/strategy one.

>>5019842
This is true and I agree with your roommate and you. However, for the most bizarre reason for me it's interesting precisely because it should be boring... That is, the action is boring when viewed from Leto's standpoint but it's fascinating as such a standpoint is as remote from ours as one can be. Have you read Robinson's Mars Trilogy? I love Sax's scientific chapters, especially the one in the 2nd book precisely because it reminds me of GEoD.

>>5019993
I love star trek and Dune but Foundation is the superior series.

>>5020667
I still listen to the soundtrack album by Exxos.

>it’s brown and dusty and it makes me se everywhere

I'm reading Dune right now. Real good stuff so far.

>>5018868
That's Dune 1
There's also a version of Dune 2 on megadrive, but it's worse than the PC one

>>5021050
where can I get it

I really enjoyed the first Dune. Great Picq soundtrack and surreal artstyle and gameplay. Exxos/Early Cryo were pretty close to being a video game equivalent to an art film studio.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Leto II has some of the best F.U.s one can give to organized religion.

Dune?

>>5021986
I know, it's good music, right? Just wish it were easier to find real hardware uploads of it - I can't find any besides the one I linked, and one that has the whole soundtrack in a single video which is kinda inconvenient.

>>5019775
This game!
Ah, the memories. Just loved playing multi with tech lvl 1 and 5 AIs on hard. massed infantry rushes and muh raiders.

Bune.

Tune.

Too soon.

I know your feel.
It just feels tedious to get into story driven games(reason why I never play RPGs) but have spent years playing arcade games or games with emphasis on gameplay while watching commentary /documentary vids on YouTube. I have comfortably sat through documentaries where all it had was talking heads talking for hours but watching an episode of anime felt so tiresome.
Maybe it is something to do with my upbringing since my household never had Cable, computer and video game and all I could watch was those documentaries shown at the free broadcast service.

You should go with the PC version for both. >>5018613 did a good summary.

Dune 2 was one of my favorite games as a kid, but it may seem pretty rough nowadays if you're used to modern RTSs. Else you can try Dune 2000 which is kind of a remake of Dune 2 with a rebalancing of units and more challenge.
