Galick posted:I'm looking for a game where the combat is pure bone crushing and fierce melee. No HP sponge antics or anything, just fast brutal combat in which where you strike the opponent, how many of them there are, and what kind of weapon you're using actually matter. Where if you gently caress up or get hit in a bad spot, you can easily die. Dunno what kind of games there are with this type of thing, but it's been a craving I've had for the past few days! Chivalry: Medieval Warfare for multiplayer. Mount and Blade Warband has a deep-ish SP mode with excellent combat as well. The Witcher 2 has most of the elements you're looking for too. The combat is extremely deadly; a mis-step can get you killed in one hit or combo, especially on harder difficulties. It's all about fighting dirty against terrible odds, positioning, and mobility. Aka spamming dodge rolls. What mods for Skyrim combat have you tried? I use Duel: Combat Realism, and it does the trick. Of course, I'm also usually starving, freezing, soaked to the bone and exhausted when I get attacked by Joe Bandit, so that may be a factor.

Ciaphas posted:Noticed on Steam a game called Dust: An Elysian Tail. Despite the groan-worthy name (and associated character aesthetic), it looks like a fun Metroidvania-ish game. Any yays or nays on this one? It's pretty fun. The game looks nice, but I had to stop playing it for one stupid reason. Every time you move, you guy loving sprints as hard as he can instantly, and when you stop, its one of those dig your heels into the ground and screech to a stop moves. If you want to take a couple steps forward, you look like the biggest idiot.

Geektox posted:Playing through Republic Commando again. Any other games that has cool tactical military combat stuff? Aside from X-Com and what not, looking for something a little more reactionary than a turn based game but not necessarily a shooter Valkyria Chronicles is a alternate reality WW2 era turn based strategy game, but the turns are more active, there's real time movement, manual aiming of guns etc. It is turboanime though.

black.lion posted:Friend and I are looking for a game we can play multiplayer (together) online, would prefer something with progression and some RPG elements, something resembling a story, etc. We used to play WoW PVP together like a million years ago and then it started being bad. We don't want another MMO. Ideas? Guild wars 2 is free and not totally poo poo, and has alot of pvp focus, both as a openworld style war and structured normalized matches. Also Destiny has gotten alot less grundy and alot more fun, but it's still AAA price. Borderlands series is good co op fun as well.

Rorac posted:I've been playing a lot of Infinite Space lately, and I've gotten a sci-fi itch to be a spaceship captain and go exploring. Actually, take about 80% of what doctorfrog is asking for, but apply it in space. Bonus points if I can command a big loving ship, like a cruiser or battleship (eventually. I don't mind working my way up). No storyline is required if I don't want to get involved, just let me gently caress around. Check out Rebel Galaxy.

These Loving Eyes posted:True, but sadly I've burned myself with M&B and its other stand-alone versions. What I'm searching for is a game in which you amass crew, upgrades and resources and then go wild trading and fighting until there are no stronger enemies to beat nor equipment to upgrade. Even roguelites like FTL can scratch that itch a bit, and I'm tentatively considering giving Death Skid Marks a try. On the other hand, I'd love to play a game in which the combat part was turn-based and tactical rather than real-time with pausing. You should check out Starsector then. It's pretty similar to Mount and Blade in basic formula but its SPACESHIPS (real time with pause though, but very cool and good). Less so is the old SPAZ (space pirates and zombies), which is fun but also kinda brainless.

prometheusbound2 posted:Playing lots of Fallen London has gotten me interested in MUDs. I'm particulary interested in well realized, well written settings and detailed character building. Exploration and rising from nothing to something are of particular interest. Any recommendations? Achaea, Dreams of Divine Lands. Full stop. Multiple city states all in a constant political drama, all government positions held by humans. You can not even be max level, and by roleplay and clever gameplay become a major player in the world. I played it for years and still miss it.

credburn posted:Can someone recommend me a good single player roguelike with the sort of post-death-progression that you get with, say, Binding of Isaac? I've been playing roguelikes forever, and recently I've been introduced to Binding of Isaac and Rogue Legacy. I think both are fantastic at what they do and am looking for other examples of this gimmick in which it's sort of like a roguelike in that your death is permanent and stuff is randomly generated, but the next time you start you might have a slight advantage. I've tried Nuclear Throne and Enter the Gungeon; the former I thought was exciting but there doesn't seem to be anything more to unlock than a few other characters, and Enter the Gungeon is great but I'm wondering if there's something out there that's less...oh, something that doesn't feel like Ikaruga. I don't want to just dodge enemy fire all the time. An RPG would be great. Basically I played the poo poo out of Nethack and would love something like Nethack but with this added gimmick. But I'd take any suggestions. Oh, I've played Risk of Rain, too, which is fine...I love how much can be unlocked, but I'm really only looking for single player games and that game kinda sucks playing by myself. Seconding Dungeonmans. It is basically precisely what you are looking for. Goonmade to boot! Also check out TOME 4 if you haven't yet. Big overworld epic quest style roguelike with good turn based combat involving skill use with cooldowns (think WoW or FF14), and as you play you unlock new classes for future characters.

Remora posted: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).

Tenik posted: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. 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.

Malt posted:What are some good single player games that have a large town element that as you gather resources from exploring/fighting you are slowly upgrading the town and providing additional benefits for yourself? Something along the lines of your homestead in Skyrim, Garrisons in WoW, or even the crafting stations in Diablo 3, but where a lot of the focus of the game is on that. Seconding Darkest Dungeon.

Dessel posted:Second one is even more vague but in case someone has any ideas, I need something to replace my itch with for MMORPG's. I do still actively play FFXIV, but my raiding group is on a break possibly till' February and I really want to get good with some game/scratch the itch for optimization. Doesn't need to control *that* well but I'm not looking something turn-based either. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a single player action RPG that started off as an mmorpg, and has the typical quest and loot structure for that genre. It isn't that bad either, plenty of content.

I want a game where I can build, manage, and decorate my house/town/business and I can walk around and do simple stuff (catch fish, pull weeds, whatever) while also being able to trade stuff with other people (MMO) and visit their spaces and chill for a while. Even better if you can go out on adventures together. Does anything like this even exist? Minecraft?

The Berzerker posted:I'm looking for games on Steam that have low graphical requirements because I have a not great laptop. For reference, I can run Darkest Dungeon but that's probably about it. Dungeonmans. Goon made comedy roguelike with interesting mechanics. TOME4. High quality less hardcore roguelike. Really good. It's A Wipe! Mmorpg raiding without the mmorpg. Looks like poo poo but is a fun little diversion. FTL. Real time with pause spaceship crew death simulator with just, the best music. Cardhunter. Cheeky boardgame card game RPG hybrid. Grid based tactical format. LISA. Turn based RPG that's like weird I dunno. Play it. Goon made I think. Renowned Explorers: International Society. Turn based tactical game with session based structure and really interesting "combat". Sunless Sea. Pseudo Victorian ship captain game with weird comedy and Lovecraftian influences. Set in Fallen London if that means anything to you. Stardew Valley. It's Harvest Moon.

The gameplay sucks but the story is interesting and interactive enough that its sort of the gameplay. I know Telltale released a bunch of series based on licensed titles but I am not sure which ones are well regarded or well reviewed. I thought The Wolf Among Us was really good. I played it with my wife and it was like a good TV series for us.

Ulio posted:Is there any games like Disgaea, Fire Emblem or Xcom on pc? Turnbased tactical combat where you have a bunch of units. Disgaea is more about grinding and min-maxing but xcom is more about strategy/tactics and fire emblem kinda is a mix of both. I have also played the first banner saga on the hardest difficulty and it was retardly hard is the 2nd one any good? It's a bit older, but Battle for Wesnoth is free and pretty good. Got a neat fire emblem meets advance wars vibe, with loads of mods and stuff.

I loved the idea and gameplay of Valkyria, but it was just so annoyingly anime I had to stop. Shame. Seconding Shadowrun. I'd say skip the first one and dive right into Dragonfall. It's one of the better tactical rpgs I've ever played.

Make no mistake, Shadowrun absolutely is a crpg, with a whole boat load of story and dialogue. It's all pretty drat well written though, with a decent story and a fantastic soundtrack. The combat is turn based tactical, with a bunch of options for gearing and character specs. I really cannot recommend them enough. Like I said though, skip the first one.

Kanfy posted:Sure, like I said it can be safely skipped if you don't like it but it's not a downright bad game (barring the downright bad final boss battle) and it'll be hard to come back to after Dragonfall and Hong Kong. As long as you're equipped with the knowledge that the follow-ups are universally considered better, I think it's worth giving a shot at the very least to see what you think. You can plsy it through the Dragonfall client if you own that too, and it improves the game with all the advances in UI and mechanics that Dragonfall brought to the board. That's what I would do.
