Galick posted:Anyone got a multiplayer game on Steam/PC with a ton of character customization? Preferably more action based than not, and I'd prefer picking specific abilities and stuff over picking a class. And huge dramatic differences between people based on those choices would be good. Sorry, I know this is vague. This might end up being an uninspired suggestion, but Path of Exile has all of its spells in gems that you socket into your equipment, there are also gems that augment the spells meaning you can link , say, lightning arrows with a multiple projectiles gem to make the skill shoot a burst of em instead of just one. The passive "skilltree" is also very large which means you can grab whatever stats you feel like. Generally the game is played using premade guides since you can't respec but there's no law against experimenting if you don't mind the possibility of loving up your character.

Are there any modern games similar to Myth II, or should I just play that again?

Kanfy posted:It ain't action, but Divinity: Original Sin hits those other requirements. It's multiplayer on Steam with a lot of different skills and traits to pick from (the classes in it are just presets you can adjust) and characters with different skillsets play very differently. Brainamp posted:There's the various Dynasty Warriors/Empire games done by koei. Aside from the campaigns that follow set characters, you can create custom people with individual weapons and skills. Already played the first two to death, sadly, but I'll keep Dynasty Warriors in mind for us! Thanks, keep any suggestions coming!

LegoPirateNinja posted:has there ever been a worthy successor to this game? Not really. Just Cause 2 and 3 have you play an rear end in a top hat in an open world with absurdly funny physics interactions but no one outside of Volition has bothered with realistic destruction. Japanese Dating Sim posted:Are there any modern games similar to Myth II, or should I just play that again? Are you talking about RTS games that are squad based? Dawn of War 2 is great although it lacks the deliberate pacing of Myth if that's what you're looking for.

The first Dawn of War is more of a traditional RTS, the second game is what you want if you're looking for squads with no bases and no resource management. Not exactly story-heavy though, it's very generic 40K and the plot is pretty thin.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Boy are you in luck. If you don't mind space navy, Battlefleet Gothic plays just like a standard naval game but with Warhammer. Command Modern Air/Naval Operations is the classic Harpoon style highly grognardy Air/Naval game from anywhere from (kinda) WW2 to modern day. Atlantic Fleet is an alright budget strategy game about the Battle of the Atlantic, and it plays alright. Definitely worth the low price. Steam and Iron is a fantastic WW1 naval strategy game, but Rule the Waves is a game where you actually manage the development of WW1 era navies and the technological focuses can change if you use that option. Both S&I and RtW have terrible MS Paint graphics though, but they are ridiculously good for naval strategy. I ended up getting Gothic, it is really a great game, especially since it is on sale  It's a bit hard to figure out and the AI is a bit retarded but the bones are great.I thought that SH4 was kind of poo poo though? I heard that they changed a lot of UI stuff that made it just bad across the board.

I'm looking for a game where you place traps down/play cards/whatever to stop monsters or heroes entering your dungeon. Kinda like evil genius but with more focus on the traps and also like dungeon warfare but more in depth. Is there anything like that?

They are sorta similar in a way, though Myth is entirely real-time and is a (well-done) grimdark fantasy setting so they're kinda different. That said, I can't fault you at all for suggesting it given the listed criteria, and it is a solid game, so thanks! Geokinesis posted:I'm looking for a game where you place traps down/play cards/whatever to stop monsters or heroes entering your dungeon. War for the Overworld is a decent Dungeon Keeper clone, and I've heard that Dungeons is okay, but I haven't played it. It's a big stretch, but if you like the other games there's also Startopia, which has you managing a space station in a manner similar to the dungeon management of the other games, though with less emphasis on defense and traps and more on just keeping the inhabitants happy. And if you haven't already played it, Dungeon Keeper (or DK 2) is the game that inspired Evil Genius (and every other game I listed above), so you might be interested in that - I think they sell it on GOG. Alternatively, look at Orcs Must Die 1 and 2, which is a first-person spin on turret defense. Aside from Orcs Must Die though, they're all pretty much hitting the same beats as Evil Genius so I don't know if they're exactly what you're looking for.

I have WftO and tried orcs must die but ehhhhh. I dunno they just don't hit the right notes for me. Also Orcs must die had fps issues despite it being graphically consuming that the majority of my library. Googling I'm thinking more like this game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deception_IV:_The_Nightmare_Princess but without the focus on anime women losing clothing.

Magicka 1 and 2 are okay, Trine 1-3 are pretty good, and I think Don't Starve for ps4 has split screen coop. I know you said less murder, but Diablo 3 is pretty great for coop play.

Is there an MMO besides Runescape where you can be a pretty much pure crafter? I'm pretty done with raids and level grinding and endgame content grinding and I would really like to run a shop or something in an MMO. I just like making stuff and participating in playerdriven economies, basically, and I can't keep track of what MMOs are good anymore.

Final Fantasy 14 has incredibly in depth crafting, to the point of having full gear itemization and specs. There is no option to set up a player run shop, but there is a market board (think auction house) that houses the player economy. The best things is that you don't need to level combat classes at all to craft (or gather).

That's only true for the areas that were in the relaunch. If you want to access the 3.0 zones for gathering or crafting quests, you'll have to do the main story, which is A LOT of pve. With that said, ffxiv's crafting is really cool and has a lot of depth, including its own skills and rotations and buffs to manage. EDIT: I've been in the mood for something Zelday for the past few months. What's the most Zelda-rear end game on pc? 2d preferred, but 3d is also good, as long as it doesn't have Assassins Creed or God of War style combat.

This is true, but it is also important to note that the main story is very akin to a single player FF game, and can be played solo almost all the way through (with the occasional party based dungeon), so it isn't really the same experience as other MMOs.

I need some recommendos for me and my filthy casuals. What are some DM/TDM arena type FPS games that can be conveniently played online with friends, but also controlled without big server hassle/port opening antics? Like choosing map, setting player limits, and AI enemies and such? Something with at least a few decently small maps for smaller numbers of players. Stuff like UT games spring to mind for me, but UT3 needs Hamachi, and such. Are any of the newer CoD games convenient for this type of thing? We've been playing Murder Miners because it gives a nice, controlled bootleg Halo deathmatch that we can effortlessly play together, but it's a pretty rudimentary FPS, and I'd like something a little more interesting. Convenience is really what I'm looking for, because the people I play with aren't the savviest. I can even be hassled to open some ports if necessary. Doesn't have to be arena, can be whatever, just fun FPS.

Halo 5 on PC. You just need to be friends on Xbox Live, and the game is free on PC. Alternatively, UT4 or Screencheat.

Also while they weren't my thing, both Darksider's games. Oceanhorn is a mobile game, therefore it is awful.
