falster: also fyi, there appears to be a "the fall mutant city" currently on sale at gg (in german, of course) which it appears is a spin off, but apparently it seems, had even worse ratings than the first one....
just an observation, i found it odd, as id never heard of the last days of gaia, then all of a sudden......
Mutant City is... crap. It is a point and click adventure and has nothing in common with Last Days of Gaia (which isn't THAT bad when you play the "Reloaded" version with all the fixes).
Last Days of Gaia is an okay game, but it has some points where you start to wonder how stupid people are.
*SPOILERS AHEAD*
The game plays 20 years after some terrorists used terraformer technology on Earth (the whole world turned into a dessert). And what happens? After all that time humanity isn't able to build anything more advanced than a shack built of junk. And they all seem to suffer from some kind of heavy amnesia! In one sidequest an old guy finds a flyer of an indoor swimming pool. He sees the pictures of all the water and the trees and thinks he found a secret map (there's a "How to reach us" section on the flyer) to some "Garden of Eden" or something. Idiot... I think I still could remember promotion fliers and swimming pools after 20 years... The idea is funny, but they all act as if they were born in a Vault-Tec vault which was closed for 200 years...
Even though it was a bit illogical, I liked the ideas they had. I still remember this scene where you met a group of people who were worshipping the "Railway God" at a train station O.O Totally nuts. I loved the game for those moments (and there were a lot of them). They just tried to hard to be "Fallout 3" (the Van Buren one, not the Bethesda one).
