^^^ Screen Cheat is the only second-person game I've ever seen. Well, some parts of Siren I guess. We're losing steam on Diablo 3. We need a game to catch us in the same way - local coop, dolly dressup, super long challenge curve, stuff like that. Like a local MMO kind of. Or hell, any other type of games too as long as they're local and have some sort of character persistence. Anything out there? Danger Mahoney fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Nov 5, 2014 |

It's a free-to-play game about space ninjas, all group-based co-op missions, and you can build a clan dojo and custom place doodads.

Danger Mahoney posted:^^^ Screen Cheat is the only second-person game I've ever seen. Well, some parts of Siren I guess. Since you like D3, how about games like it? D3 has the most satisfying combat, but Marvel Heroes and Path of Exile are the other top tier choices. Marvel Heroes has the best character design, you get to play as all kinds of superheroes and supervillains and they all actually feel like the character they're based on, it's a lot of fun to unlock a new hero and see how they play. Path of Exile is the best as far as itemization, currency and barter go - it's got the economy of D2 over a solid ARPG skeleton and is the most like D2 out of the three, but character building may be too complex for a group and the dull visuals don't help. Both MH and PoE are free to play. e: I really can't stress enough that Marvel Heroes is a good game now. It was rough and rocky at launch but has undergone a few complete overhauls and has a few years of patching and added content now. Anyone who likes ARPGs or superheroes owes it to themselves to try it out. It's my favorite of the Big 3 ARPGs and I say that as someone with hundreds of hours logged in D3. It even has WoW-esque raids at the end-game if your group is dedicated enough for that, but I haven't done them so I can't comment on if they're any fun. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Nov 5, 2014 |

A decent game where stuff happens in the background that you can just sit back and influence every now and then is The Last Federation. It is entirely about manipulation of lesser species and seeing how they interact. You can tab in and do something active like blow up a fleet, capture a station or cause a leadership change in one of the nations and then tab out and await the results. I also second Distant Worlds for hands-off Empire building.

I guess what I'd like is an MMO that is not bad (I've played FFXIV and while it's good it doesn't really fit). I'd second Guild Wars 2. It's a super chill game that rewards players for doing pretty much anything. The game automatically scales characters up or down in levels depending on the content you're playing, so there's no worry of someone out-leveling others even if they play more. You can also get into PvP right off the bat, since characters are always max level in PvP areas. Setting up a guild is fairly cheap as well, especially since low-level gear is better bought with Karma points instead of gold.

When I switch over to playing as iron man do I have to unequip the claws and now go find a rare blaster or something? Are each of the superheroes like a different character you have to equip or what?

You can tab in and do something active like blow up a fleet, capture a station or cause a leadership change in one of the nations and then tab out and await the results. This gives me sort of a throwback idea. Spore had the option of basically creating a super-race of monsters you could set down on random planets then come back later to see what destruction they had wrought. It never ever worked in any way. Are there games where you're a superior space-traveling race where you have the option to travel around the universe and screw with lesser species? Breeding/engineering super species and setting them down on populated worlds with civilization and watching what ensues. Having tools that enable you to mess around, wreak havok, manipulate the civilizations in other ways like death rays and such, Putting down monoliths and progress their advancement, possibly steer them into being warmongering space ferals (that you still have the ability to manipulate and still steer the course)... With scale and scope from an individual of that race to the entire empire that species belongs to? Is spore the only one that attempted this? In the final space stage, which lacked way to much depth and probably didn't keep track of anything that was going on when you weren't there. It wasn't designed to well and my copy is bound to a computer that hasn't been used in a very very long time. TL;DR I want to be a god with a bunch of tools to gently caress around with a really populated and diverse universe with loads of depth and scale from the tiniest speck of dust to the entire big picture. And being able to steer the course of civilizations with chaos theory-esque actions. NeoSeeker fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Nov 5, 2014 |

The claws you equip on your Wolverine are replaced by the blaster you previously had on Ironman when you switch characters. The health potion you had in your inventory stays there.

Funnypost Collabo posted:I have Godus and while I guess it's true that I could leave it running all day, there's not anything to do in the game besides what you manually do; place houses, move terrain around, etc. The only thing that happens while you're not actually touching the game is that resources go up. Your villages don't expand or grow on their own, your population doesn't actually do anything. Anno is a great game but it has the same problem for me as Godus. I guess what I really want is a game where things happen even when I'm not playing - not just negative things, but positive things too - that I can tab over to and make some long-term decisions or something from time to time. Gnomoria can be played like this, but the decisions sound more fiddly than what you want.

So far the suggestions from this thread have been great. Now I'm back for something new: I'm looking for a space game that can be played with mouse + keyboard. Preferably something in the vein of Escape Velocity Nova. I want to be able to be a space pirate, or possibly a space freighter captain, or maybe join the military. I've played Privateer, EV:N (to completion multiple times), Transcendence, Space Rangers 2, and that's about it. What else is out there?

Of all of those, Starpoint Gemini 2 and Distant Worlds sound the most promising. I'm going to pick up Elite when it finally releases, and the X series seems far too in-depth for me unfortunately. I'd also completely forgotten about Star Sector (didn't it used to be called something else?). I might need to grab the latest update and play around with that some more.

And if you haven't played since the change, there's been a lot done to improve it.

So, after getting and trying to play Dungeon of the Endless, only for it to hang at the initial loading screen. (Can't even get to the main menu) I cursed at my lovely laptop and pouted for a while, but it made me realize something about the point I wanted to see... What games are good for the sort of "Build a village/city and defend it" thing? I recently redownloaded Stronghold Crusader for a bit of that. Folk Tale is among the 'bought but computer is too lovely to run' list, but the general idea is around that. Edit: Majesty 1 and 2 are the prime examples of that though, both of which I have and play to death Drakenel fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Nov 10, 2014 |

SquadronROE posted:So is there a good SA thread or something on Freelancer mods? There's so many of them... There isn't, but maybe ask in the Star Citizen thread? The games share a common lineage in that they both were/are designed by Chris Roberts (although his stint was relatively short with Freelancer). There's also a dedicated Freelancer forum at http://the-starport.net/ I've never modded Freelancer but it's amazing how active the modding scene still is. IIRC some of the stand-out mods made the game more of an open world akin to the X series. By the way, if you think X3 is too complicated, you're going to have a hell of a time with Distant Worlds. The latter is more of a traditional 4X and probably the apex of the genre in my opinion, but it's significantly harder to understand than X3. X3 is more up your sleeve and it shouldn't take too long to get it going. It's fun having a fleet of autonomous merchants servicing your expanding mogul empire. edit: here's a decent list with descriptions: http://the-starport.net/modules/mediawiki/index.php/Mod_Database Bouchacha fucked around with this message at 00:09 on Nov 11, 2014 |
