I have heard rumors of a wall building and maintenance version with several styles of bricklaying and a vandalism power wash expansion. I don't think it's complete without discarded gum + moss and vine removal, your thoughts?

Surgeon Simulator 2013 was such a hit that it has inspired other games such as Ampu-Tea, best described as  But then, those games are specifically designed to be comically horrible.

Apart from knocking a glass into my patient's chest cavity whilst flailing for a saw which i then dropped into him, cutting his ribs apart like a sandwhich. Then I added a new donor heart on top and as far as am im concerned won.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Word War II Online? That's the one. Best encapsulation of that quote that "war is 99% drudgery and 1% horror." It's not particularly gory, but after crawling through a ditch for an hour the idea of dying is terrifying, so the actual fighting is more tense than any that I've experienced in a game.

Back when the original Tropico was released, the developers made a point to say that the pages and pages and pages of statistics, charts and graphs included in the game were there for the Germans. Because if you add those, the German audience will love you and they make up a disproportionate percentage of the market for sim games.

Obsidius posted:I bought Farming Simulator 2011 just out of curiosity to see how bad it could actually be, I now have the 2013 version too and have spent way too many hours tending to my fields. Between the massive popularity of Farmville and the like and the Farm Simulator games (which are essentially less social but more involved versions of the same games) I'm convinced the thousands of years our species spent relying on subsistence agriculture left a tangible imprint on our brains.

Just about every popular game is a poor simulator of something. I mean Call of Duty is a war simulator without the horror, pain, and regret, Minecraft is a mining simulator without black lung and long planning sessions, Farmville is a farming simulator without dung and hard labour. Few games are complete abstractions nowadays. I think farming and mining simulators have gotten so popular lately because they're a non-violent entertaining version of a recognizable role. Video games are about accomplishing goals in familiar settings, so they use representations of reality to achieve that. Hardcore simulator games are an attempt to represent reality very accurately, and they tend to be terribly boring because reality is boring for most people.

I can tell you from experience that real farming is boring as hell. Until a mechanical failure causes your harvester to start shooting hot slag onto the ground leaving a trail of fire through an extremely dry cornfield.

poptart_fairy posted:Jesus christ, even the most benign of statements seems terrifying when in German. English: Butterfly French: Papillon German: Schmetterlink For some reason, the German sounds less like a pretty insect and more like something that will dive out of the sky and paralyze you with a horribly painful, venomous sting, then lay eggs in you, so that you feel the young devouring you, but are powerless to do anything about it.

I keep seeing that kind of game in electronics stores over here but they're only collecting dust. A friend bought me one of them for my birthday two years ago but otherwise I don't know of or have ever seen anybody buy them. Except for goons. They love that poo poo.

DSauer posted:If the posts about Euro-Truck simulator in the games forum is anything to go by; even goons are fascinated with these sorts of games. Judging by the number of train simulator games and addons available on steam there's either a huge number of folks that enjoy that sort of game; or a small number of folks with way to much disposable income. Euro Truck Sim is bizarrely fun, I was gifted it as a joke present. I thought that I would install it to at least get a laugh out of the presumably terrible physics in games like these. Little did I know that 2 days later I would still be playing the damned thing, happily driving about in my truck in virtual eastern europe listening to some dodgy 80s Croatian music playing through the in game radio streams. I still haven't a clue why its enjoyable. I want to laugh at it and hate it, but just can't.
