God I wish the IP didn't belong to EA. It has so much potential, I always wanted Alice 3 to be a Soulslike personally but I know American McGee himself had some ideas already for Alice: Asylum to be the next installment. Shame EA doesn't give two fucks about the franchise.

That would definitely keep me from buying it; I can't stand those sorts of games. I did like the first two, though, and still have the CD for the first one kicking around.

Same. Also the terms "soulslike" and "roguelike".

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 1 points 5 months ago

May I ask what terms you would prefer for these genres?

Calling American McGee "Alice creator" with no additional context is a bit absurd.

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I mean, his game is called "American McGee's Alice." Saying "American McGee's Alice creator, American McGee" is a bit wordy and repetitive.

I know I get that, its just that Alice is both the name of the game and the name of the character, one of which he created and the other he didn't. There's not a great way to phrase it, but it makes it sound like he created the character Alice, which he did not.

She is named after and inspired by the Alice of Lewis Carrol's books, but she's a very different take on her. He created this version of her.

As far as title artistic licences go this case is by far on the good side in today's age - it's not even:

American Valves just blasted Steam & changed history forever, here is why if you don't click on this article an Alice will get murdered

You really have nothing else going on in your head?

Remember what the dormouse said

[–] PatheticGroundThing@beehaw.org 8 points 5 months ago

American McGee's Alice creator American McGee

Also sounds funny

In an alternate reality, people played Sid Meier’s Alice and American McGee’s Civilization

I want those games to release on gog, I've been waiting for so long, I want to play them again!

A few bits of dialogue for those who haven't played the Alice games:
