Thought to myself today, "You know what might be cool and I've never tried? A game focused heavily on vehicular combat!"
But then I thought, "Darn, I know almost nothing about cars and tanks and such in real life. They look cool, especially in action movies / video games, but I don't drive any (NYC resident who hasn't touched a steering wheel since 2000). My eyes glaze over when someone starts discussing the technical details, which I suspect are heavily foregrounded in most games that deal with vehicles as a primary theme. What I would need is a game that abstracts the topic enough to be approachable for dummies, the way D&D doesn't get too concerned with the granular realism of western martial arts."
So, what's out there for tech dummies who can't tell the difference between the engines of an M1 Abrams and a Ford Pinto?
