Looking for either a full-on stock market simulator or a game which heavily features buy low/sell high trading as a central focal point of the game. I just played through The American Dream and got a bug about it. I've played Freelancer and Elite and all the space trading games, but I'd really like something that's MOSTLY about buying and selling commodities/instruments.

I'm looking for a commercial flight simulator (not a combat sim) which has some sort of business model or economy in it. Basically, I love flight sims as chill desktop apps that I can use while I'm listening to podcasts and stuff, but just the standard MSFS model of "pick a plane, go fly somewhere" is a little too open-ended for me. I'm wondering if there's a game out there that has me running an airline or being a commercial pilot for hire, and I can ferry passengers, make money, buy new planes, etc etc etc. Sorta like Euro Truck Simulator, but with planes. Failing that, some kind of mission structure or goals to focus on beyond "fly to this place" would be cool. AFAIK, MS Flight isn't supported anymore and it wasn't really that great to begin with, but something along those lines. quadrophrenic fucked around with this message at 06:55 on Sep 12, 2014 |

The Dregs posted:Been playing Divinity Original Sin and it just can't hold my attention, mostly due to the poo poo storyline. It has, however, made me crave some turn based tactical combat. I am trying to decide between getting the Enemy Within DLC for XCOM, or Xenonauts. I stopped playing XCOM a while back due to it being buggy as poo poo, but they may have fixed that by now. I mean there's also Wasteland 2, which has been pretty great at scratching that itch. It's pretty story-heavy, but if you dig the setting/storyline more you might like it.

NeoSeeker posted:Also I'm looking for a large scale game where I can drag along a terrible regime and terrorize other factions and their citizens. The way I see it Either: Civ 5, Crusader Kings 2 or Europa Universalis. Which of the three allows to be the biggest most oppressive dick? Both inside my own faction and to other factions. Like sending sappers to an enemy city or assassins or some poo poo like that. The dickery in EU4 all feels strangely bureaucratic, much less "doin sick spy poo poo" and much more "i won half your land through a convoluted inheritance fuckup!". I've played nearly to world conquest in that game, and I never felt oppressive so much as successful. CK2 is definitely has more of the cunning, arbitrary terror feel to it, but idk. I never liked how you never felt like a big dumb polity in that game. I like making the map one big blue thing that says FRANCE on it that's bigger than the other pink and yellow things that say like Navarra or some poo poo.

Man, something about the loot in Diablo 3 just seems so boring to me. Maybe it's nostalgia glasses, but I remember finding legendaries and uniques in DII being a game-changing experience, but in DIII it's just always +agripofstats. Meh. Play DII with Median XL. Now THAT'S an ARPG where loot has profound effects on gameplay.

My intro to the old infinity games was Planescape Torment, and I still think that's the best one of the bunch by a mile, but only because it has a great story and really sharp writing. No co-op though.

Is there like a better, more modern version of Transport Tycoon Deluxe? I've played OpenTTD and Cities Skylines. Both great games. But I want that OpenTTD feel in a hella modern game. Preferably on sale.

looking for a nice chill puzzle-y type mobile game for Android nothing with too high of system requirements, my current phone is kind of a PoS beater I enjoy things like nonograms and crosswords for killing time help me to kill time basically i just want a good mobile game that's not the bog standard PnD-type grindfest, nor a Clash-of-Clans style skinner box, nor an "art game"

SolidSnakesBandana posted:I'm somewhat interested in trying to convince my friend to play Divinity: Original Sin but I feel like that type of game just wouldn't be fun co-op because of the slow pace. I feel the same way about Baldur's Gate or even the Tales games. Am I wrong? it's a slow-paced game for sure, but i think BG is a bad comparison, at least on game mechanics. it's more like x-com mechanically

prom candy posted:Anno seems kind of cool, is there a specific entry in the series that stands out? I like Dawn of Discovery (aka 1404) but only because I like the graphics and the art and the general theme The later ones are all more or less near- or far-future. The gameplay remains fundamentally the same, although they added some Ubi rear end metagame stuff to the later entrants in the franchise.

Japanese Dating Sim posted:Kinda? Story heavy real-time tactics, units that can level and persist across levels, no base or resource management. And yeah, squads versus entire armies. I've got all the Dawn of War games, I should try them finally. I've never played Myth 2 so I might be way off base here, but you just described Valkyria Chronicles to a T, and that's one of the best games ever made, so go play that It's on steam now

C-Euro posted:Asked this a couple weeks ago and never got a response- I gave Rogue Legacy another shot after bouncing off of it on my first go, and now I'm jonesing for some Metroidvanias on PC, perhaps more Vania than Metroid (so RPG mechanics rather than straight exploratory platforming). I'm sure there are a shitload of these out there, but what are the best ones? How amenable are you to roguelikes Because Vagante is fun as gently caress, very underrated, and meets your criteria

Valkyria Chronicles is amazing Go play it right now My only gripe with that game is that it's too short

man if you have the patience to learn how it works vic2 is a fukkin work of art if you're used to newer paradox games i could understand how you might not like it, it didn't completely fulfill the "all variables are accessible and transparent" ethos of Clausewitz 2 pdx games
