Can someone recommend a decent WWII multiplayer game that people are still playing, in the vein of Red Orchestra 2? I have been trying Heroes and Generals but the progression mechanics are a bit irritating.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Try WW2 Online. Its more like Planetside but it is quite dated. I prefer it for flight and tanks. I also recommend Red Orchestra 1, as it's very different to 2. I think in some ways it is better, especially for tanks. If you want aerial or armoured combat War Thunder is the best pick. There's not that much choice for a modern infantry based WW2 game though unfortunately. Yeah that's the issue, there are quite a few games but they are older so no one plays them. Does WW2 Online still have a decent userbase? And yeah I used to play RO1 some, it was certainly fun but most of the base migrated to the sequel. Although the RO1 base had an odd habit of treating tanks as one-man stationary turrets so I can't say that I am sad they changed them in RO2 CuddleCryptid fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Aug 23, 2015 |

I mean, hidden object games are basically crappy adventure games. It might seem odd but what about the Nancy Drew series of games? They are actually not that bad.

Protons posted:WoW with lightsabers could be cool. Has it received any updates, or will it look like the 12 year old MMO that it is? It is still pretty solid looking, the style of graphics tends to hold up. I think they improved the F2P to be a bit less...draconian as well

Protons posted:Crafting was a pain in the rear end from what I remember. SWG was the only game I can recall that had degrees of quality on crafted goods. For example, you could craft your own medical packs to heal and buff yourself with, but depending on a.) the quality of materials you paid for or farmed extra hard for, b.) the quality of the fabrication machine you used to create the items, which then had it's own levels of component quality, and c.) your skill at crafting, you could easily make healing and buffing items that would be 10x better than someone who used standard stuff. The Repopulation seems to be making things even more confusing on top of this by allowing you to enrich either a single plant or an entire area for a period of time, plus gigantic crafting trees, and oh dear god

The Cheshire Cat posted:To be honest I don't know how loot-based it is since I haven't actually played it, but have you looked at Killing Floor 2? I bring it up just because it's along the same lines as Payday. It is not loot based any more than something like Counterstrike would be.

prometheusbound2 posted:I am interested in games with really interesting loot systems. I don't think Diablo and Diablo clones have interesting loot systems, or at least not the type I'm looking for. Rather, I'm thinking of games like those in the Infinity Engine series(and, by extension Pillars of Eternity) where equipment has unique features beyond randomly generated features(so the Elder Scrolls is also out). I am particulary interested in games with lots of fluff background text for their equipment, where unique items have their own stories attached to them. If you like Pillars of Eternity then there are a lot of DnD-style RPGS that would likely fill that space too. Baldur's Gate has been remastered, Never winter Nights, Planetscape: Torment, even Wasteland 2. Dark Souls is fun but the game play really is the game, the story is secondary

SquadronROE posted:Second: I need a FPS that is very fast to get playing. Doesn't have to be Steam. Can be anything, really. I just want to get up and shooting fast, when I've got a few minutes to kill. Right now I've got nothing that scratches that itch. Rise of the Triad would be a good one as well, very frantic old-school shooting.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:SWAT 4 is the best police game ever made, but it's not top-down but rather a first person squad command game. Non-lethal options are available, and you can only fire without being penalized if you or another officer is under threat. Some day they will make a passable spiritual sequel to SWAT and I will be overjoyed. I missed the boat on people playing it, which is really unfortunate. I guess Rainbow Six: Siege is somewhat like that but the fun of SWAT were the scenarios and taking people down non-lethally, rather than just cluster-bombing every room you come across.

inkblottime posted:I'm mildly interested in DayZ but don't want to drop $35 on something I'm only curious to try out. Plus it seems to be in perpetual alpha which is never wise to invest in. So I'm waiting for a sale on Arma 2 deal on Steam so I can try the DayZ mod version. Of all the survival games on the market I don't think I would recommend DayZ; I have heard that they never really fixed a lot of the jank in the engine and it can be pretty rough. You may be better off trying something like Ark or Rust instead.

Does anyone know of either A) a good naval-based RTS, the kind where the ships are more than glorified transports. Something like Naval War: Arctic Circle, just not as bad. Or B) A submarine Sim game in the vein of Silent Hunters. I like playing III, but I am in the mood for something different and the later installments apparently suck

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.

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. Not sure if it would count, but the Rune Factory series is Harvest Moon crossed with a dungeon crawler RPG

Flopstick posted:Anyone know of any (PC) strategy games with a decent skirmish mode, where you buy your units in advance - like the original Battlefront CM games? I believe they got rid of Quick Battle, or at least unit purchasing, in the newer ones. I've got zero interest in playing a campaign; I just want to assemble a hosed-up army and go improvising on some random terrain against the AI. Total War? The single battles have a point system if I remember correctly.

Evilreaver posted: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. 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.

Kind of a long shot, but can anyone recommend a game similar to Banished that doesn't drop off in difficulty after the first few years? I am thinking something like Rimworld, just instead of enemies you are facing crop devastation, population collapse, etc.

Not too fussed on specific genre, just in the mood to play something like Jade Empire that I haven't played, was rewatching Avatar and it's made me want something with that sort of flavour. Kind of a weird flavor, but Age of Wushu, an martial arts MMO, is fun enough to mess around with if you don't mind a but of confusion and grind.

There really aren't many things that do cool story bits or tactics anymore, unfortunately. It's a bit off base but you might try Brothers In Arms for the squad gameplay though.

Kind of an odd question, but I'd like recommendations for PS4 games that use teamwork but aren't shooters. We are getting a PlayStation for my 15 yo sister in law because she has strong social anxiety and working together with strangers in games can help with that. We are getting her FFXIV, but what other popular online multiplayer games are there? To be sexist, being a dude my first thought are always shooters and action games, but that's not quite her speed. We would prefer something that you would use chat for, but if it's just normal team gameplay without chat (ie Rocket Leauge) that would be fine too. She doesn't really have any friends locally so couch co op is kind of out. CuddleCryptid fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Sep 20, 2017 |

Troll answer: Dwarf Fortress. What about Rocket League? Being "good" at it requires a lot but just having fun with it is barely one step above random flailing around. If he likes puzzles and city builders them Factorio might be a good choice; I personally don't think the learning curve is very steep.

Are there any MMOs left on the market that have party-based leveling systems, where you group up with people to take down mobs? I've been watching too many animes about the power of friendship and am starting to miss the old school where you actually talked with people in the overworld because you weren't carried through the world on a flying carpet.

Lunchmeat Larry posted:I want something with really good feeling punchy shooting or "gunfeel" (and I don't really know how to say that without sounding like I should be put on a list), probably an FPS. Examples are games like FEAR 1 and Call of Juarez Gunslinger, the opposite would be stuff like... Prey or Hitman, I guess? The population is probably way down, but Red Orchestra 2 has some of the most "punchy" guns I know.

Bonus points if I can play it in windowed mode and/or M+KB. If you like card games then something like Slay the Spire might be good for you.

Maybe I should just do it anyway. If you are interested in 2D builder sims you might like Oxygen Not Included, a colony management game from the people who made Don't Starve. It is easy to spend ten hours at a time with it though.
