Torchilight and it's sequel are pretty good, and won't require a $60+ investment, if you haven't played them already. Any ARPG is pretty mindless fun indeed

Thanks for all the suggestions, I tried Anno 1404 a while ago but couldn't get into it. I've already got Torchlight 2 in my library so I'm going to give that a whirl but I added a bunch of others to my wish list for later. I had never heard of a few that look pretty cool.

Nordick posted:This is bullshit. It's shoddily optimised and runs like poo poo, yes, but otherwise it's the better game of the two. It's good if you liked the Long War mod for 1. If you didn't, it has the exact same problems. There's never any relaxation time and things are constantly nearly going out of control.

Any good games based around (or solely about) negotiation? I'm thinking along the lines of the negotiation part of Pacific Theater of Operations 2 for the SNES. E: Oh, and like Romance of the Three Kingdoms style debates of course, but without actually having to do that other boring crap. djw175 posted:XCOM:EU on easy difficulty isn't too hard. Stay away from XCOM 2 or the old XCOMs. I mean just generally stay away from XCOM 2 anyway. It's a significantly less polished game and it shows. XCOM 2 is a much better game as if you lose a mission you aren't boned, whereas in EU losing a soldier means you've just lost the game.

I'm getting a 3ds in a week or so. Any must haves? I mostly play RPGs and strategy, but I would be open to platforming because, well, Mario. EDIT: I know Pokemon exist. Played the first or second one and didn't like it, despite enjoying Shin Megami Tensei games.

I'm guessing the Fire Emblem games will be right up your alley, being turn-based strategy with minor RPG elements (numbers). Fates is the latest in the series and has 3 separate sub-campaigns, purchased separately. They're anime as heck (and not in a good way sometimes) but the gameplay is solid and you can be as casual or obsessive about the mechanics as you like. For my part, does anyone know of ANY realistic / pseudo-realistic mining-based games? Steam only contains 'Mining Industry Simulator' and 'Mining and Tunneling Simulator', both of which have terrible reviews. Space Engineers is about as hardcore as any simulation I've played goes, and I'm looking for something a bit more involved.

Start with Birthright! It's a generally easier game with the option to grind up experience if you have trouble. It's a good way to introduce the mechanics and storywise, it's clearly meant to be played first. Then move onto Conquest and then finally Revelation.

When you do get one, take an hour or two and put a custom firmware on it before upgrading to the latest firmware version, as the later versions essentially lock out homebrew. This includes stuff like save backup and restore, emulation, custom themes,  , and a lot more. No downside for doing so either, you set it up once and then never need to worry about it again.This guide will tell you how. https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki As to the substance of your question! Going to go along with everyone else and recommend Fire Emblem. There are two 3ds Fire Emblem Games - Fire Emblem Awakening, and Fire Emblem Fates. Both are excellent. I also recommend starting Birthright first. When choosing your difficulty, I would advise starting on Hard/Casual. Normal is ludicrously easy, and unless you have homebrew and therefore cheats, you can only reduce your difficulty, not increase it.

I need a game that can eat time. As much time as possible, I'm talking Civilization or Minecraft levels of time-eating. A minecraft-like would be perfect, or survival games in general; alternatively an ARPG like Diablo or something would work. Any sort of game that encourages you to waste five hours at a time, then come back tomorrow and do it again. Difficulty: Gotta be Steam VR / Vive. So far all I've seen as decent games are once-through stories or arcade-type no-progression games (Brookhaven Experiment is FANTASTIC for what it's worth)

If you're in for its gameplay, it'll take forever to get through and I'm enjoying it immensely. e: wait damnit, I misread your post you want VR games. I...don't know if a long good VR game exists yet?

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is great, if you are unfamiliar with the games I'd recommend you look up a video to see if it's too your taste. Ocarina of Time if you have never played it is a great shout but everyone knows it. Its outstanding how well a 18 year old game can stand up with a bit of polish.

I would like one of those too  I guess you could do the wave shooters like Out of Ammo but there just isn't anything with that much depth yet. You can however play Mine craft in VR if that is your thing.

Final Approach is also a good full game, but it isn't that long of a time destroyer. Onward is a great multiplayer shooter, House of the Dying Sun has a great campaign and a good wave mode, though the games that have gotten the most of my time have been Audioshield and Elite Dangerous.

I'm looking for a big open world RPG. Can be first or third person. Not looking for an older isometric game. I've already played most of the big ones, but was wondering if there's any I've missed. I've played: Fallouts Elder Scrollses Witchers Dragon's Dogma Soulsbournes Borderlands Dragon Ages

A fantastic open world game. Scavenge during the day, then scramble home before the super strong aggressive zombies come out at night--or try your hardest to survive.

Don't get me started on 7 Days To Die, I love it to death and will never shut up. It has a fair amount of 'bad rep' due to being janky/ugly in early alpha but it has been overhauled and looks a ton better than its trailers. Anyway its all crafting all day, and some zombies here and there. Just hit my 1000th hour!

If you have a PS4, it seems like a lot of people are really enjoying Dragon Quest Builders. Other than that, I think Starbound is finally close to being a fully-featured product. But take this with a grain of salt, I haven't actually played either game.

As somebody who loves DQB, it's not the greatest crafting game, there's very few crafting recipes and the structure of the game isn't really about crafting per se. Think of it as a JRPG with the combat swapped for rudimentary building and crafting mechanics.

Festival of Blood is great, it's like an Infamous game without any kind of slog at any point, just a fun place to use stupid powers. For ARPGs on PS3, go with Dragon's Dogma if you haven't played it yet. There's also Nier, and I suppose God of War might count Ninja Gaiden Sigma? Even slightly further from Action RPG, go for the Devil May Cry HD collection. Please play the Yakuza games, don't worry that on PS3 you'd start with 3. I'd also highly recommend since you've gotten a PS3 to play Heavy Rain, Ni No Kuni, Bayonetta and Vanquish.

Festival of Blood sounds great. I enjoyed Second Son, but it got repetitive fast. I have tried a few of those action RPGs (Dragons Dogma, Nier, etc...) and they were good but, weren't for me. I'm more curious about 3d Dot Game Heroes. How was that game? I am interested in it, but 30 bucks for a new copy seem a bit steep for me.

Eh, 30 bucks isn't too bad for a new game. And I do like some zelda, but every time I watch some clips of dot game heroes, it doesn't really grab me. I think I'll play through Demons Souls again, and try out Festival of Blood later on. Thanks!

Looking for a PC horror shooter game, first or third. Along the lines of Dead Space, Alan Wake, & Condemned: Criminal Origins. Horror elements as far as being atmospheric, more action than say Amnesia (though I may just play that again) and would like some shooting.
